FOX "news" is off their meds...

Cartoon by John watson


Before there was Trump and FOX,
there was truth.
Since there has been Trump and FOX, 
there has been lies.

Last year, the President called his friend, Attorney Barr, and complained about FOX Judge Andrew Napolitano who was saying very uncomplimentary things about him.  He asked Barr to call the big guy at FOX "news," Rupert Murdoch, and get Napolitano to learn to take a hint or learn how to swim with the fishes with his feet in cement shoes.  (I'm sure it wasn't that threatening, but you get the idea.)  Surprisingly, Napolitano's air time has been greatly reduced since the call from Barr.

It is regularly reported that Sean Hannity, chief FOX purveyor of lies, has a direct phone line to the President of the United States.  It is further reported that they speak often - sometimes more than once a day.  Other major news networks have kept a running narrative about how the President picks up his false information from the FOX talking heads.  The talking heads know their stuff is false and it is said that the President usually knows it is untruthful, as well.  But, what are a few lies among friends?

FOX is under constant scrutiny from major news outlet fact-checkers for their seemingly uncaring broadcasting of outright lies. Their talking heads have mastered that facial blank stare look as they lie to America 'til the cows come home.  It has become a daily drip, drip, drip of lies until most of their viewers are reeled in, hook, line, and sinker.

However, there are some reports leaking from the peons at FOX that not everybody is happy with the situation.  Some are outright hostile about their loyalty to a network built on lies, and some are even saying there are rumblings of "purgatorial purification in paradise" if something isn't done.  Top FOX officials are concerned that when/if Trump loses the November Election, he may go off and start his own right-wing television network.  

Wouldn't it be lovely to have Trump on a TV Reality Show again?  America would then have two Network liars fighting for ratings.

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
