I am the "Maryland Marauder"

 
 
 
   Matt Rosendale has tried to weave himself into Montana Politics like a cockle bur weaves itself into the fur of 
my little dog, Toby.
 
Painfully.  Parasitically.  Purposefully.
 
 
   While many find fault with Mr. Rosendale because he has a questionable record of where his true residence is, I do not find that a problem...as long as wherever he resides gives him legal status to run for the U.S. Senate from the State of Montana.
 
   He has plenty of flaws more serious than coming from Maryland that would raise alarm bells about  his candidacy and - God forbid - his actual winning a Senate Seat.

   As Montana Auditor, he has announced plans to sue two pharmaceutical companies for failing to tell medication patients that they can save money by using cash instead of their insurance to buy prescriptions. This "news" is old to everyone, but Rosendale has decided to bring it up now because it might be good for a few votes.  This information should have been scrutinized by his office long ago.  Of course, it's more timely for his Senate run now.

   Rosendale is still insisting that Montana's federal lands be transferred to state ownership, and in the minds of most Montanans, that is criminal.  Our state can't afford to maintain them and they will be eventually be sold off to the mega- rich Montanan and out-of-state bidders.  We can't let this happen!

   Montana is just fine the way it is and we do not need another big money guy trying to serve up our precious and beautiful land to the greedy and corrupt individuals of America.  This business of handing everything over to Corporate America has got to stop.

   Rosendale is a billionaire real estate developer in a Montana Auditor's three-piece suit.

   And, that's all you need to remember on election day.

The Trees Kept Voting for the Axe. . .

Opinion by John Watson   "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for  the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them."   - A Turkish Proverb   This proverb reflects the idea that the perpetrator of harm may forget their actions, but the victim will always remember.  Whatever your political leaning, I have found this proverb interesting. For me, it has always found its way into different aspects of  political thoughts and discussions. During this particularly stressful election where our very basic needs are being challenged, The perpetrator has quite easily convinced a large group his base of accepting him because he will get them everything their hearts desire if they will but elect him. It has nothing to do with what he can do for them - it has only to do what they will do for him! He wants what he wants and he asks them to supply the votes. What they will get in return is neither inferred nor

  THE RETRIBUTIONIST He is a legend in his own mind He has promised to call out his Flying Monkeys to wreak hell and damnation on the "enemies of the people." They will be driven from the face of the earth.  Who are they?  The news media. Are there others?  Anyone who won't stand with him.  Once again, Trump is ratcheting up his use of the derisive label to attack the news media. Trump tweeted, "The press is doing everything within their power to fight the magnificence of the phrase, "Make America Great Again." "They can't stand the fact that this Administration  has done more than virtually any other Administration in its first two years," he continued, "They are truly the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!" "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." Orwell "1984" Donald Trump is up to his old, untruthful campaign slogans once again. His attack on America'

Confession of a   Social Climber Before I cash in my chips and curl up my toes, I need to confess to a terrible crime. For more than 86 years I have been a terrible liar about an important moment in of my life. As everyone who knows me is aware, I have always said my home town was Fort Benton. But, I hope everyone will find a way to forgive me for that terrible fib. I admit I was a social climber from birth. I wanted the world to know I was from a large city. When I was born, my parents and and older brother lived in the beautiful town of Virgelle, Montana. We also had a farm across the river from Virgelle and south about five miles on top of the river breaks. We lived there for about three years and then moved back to the farm. So, realistically, my home town is Virgelle. My family lived there  before we lived in Fort Benton.  When I started school, we moved into a home in that beautiful, big, bustling metropolis of Fort Benton, where I was educated. I was so happy and just knew I wou
