A Clear and Present Danger...





   At the risk of sounding like one of those little voices screaming in the deep, dark woods at who-knows-what and no one paying one lick of attention,  I will give one more of my rants-for-the-day. During a political discussion last night on television, a dastardly scheme was presented regarding the "probable" outcome of our upcoming election.  It was suggested that if the final tally on the Biden win was within 3.5 points, Trump would put his machinery into motion,   consider the election was  fraudulent, and throw it to the U.S. Supreme Court for a ruling on who won.
   We can all understand political maneuvering, but this has gone far beyond that.  This represents a coup d'etat on our justice system that will harm our nation for decades.  If it had been done in the light of day and ethically above board, we would have no complaints.  But, because it was done by a corrupt and dishonest president and his administration, we have a great deal to complain about. Perhaps the most egregious is their intent.  They are under the impression that if they take away a woman's right to decide what she can do with her own body, we will be a better country.  They believe if they take away healthcare insurance from millions of our middle class people, they will satisfy everyone by eliminating the dreaded "Obamacare" system that they so hate.  (It was legally named "The Affordable Healthcare Act" but they decided to call it "Obamacare," which is what they hate about it the most.)  And, they believe if we could just keep those minorities and immigrants in line and reduced in numbers and ability to vote, we would be a better country.  I guess they forgot how all of us originally got here.


   Credit the president and attorney general for kicking our concerns into the ditch regarding what used to be illegal activity and is now just something they can wiggle around, through, or under. 

   You see, they have been busy little beavers, working in the dark, and stacking our Federal Courts with insanely biased conservative judges who will be ready, willing, and able to pave the road of evil for their worst intentions. In recent months, they have added more than 250 such federal judges.  Their lopsided work on unethically stacking the U.S. Supreme Court is even more reprehensible.

   No, their ideas are wrong and their pursuit of those wrong ideas are evil in practice. 

  Their assault on our democracy is a clear and present danger to America's future for our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  

   Don't let them get away with it.  You have the numbers to go to your ballot boxes and stop them.

   It's that simple!

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
