A Walking Contradiction, Partly Truth and Party Fiction

Dr. Sean Conley, White House Doctor to the President,  just gave the nation and the world a confusing lack of facts about the president's health as he is treated for covid-19 at Walter Reed Hospital. 

True to form, the doctor's briefing was filled with holes.  Earlier this year, the president was rushed to Walter Reed for - well, we weren't told what for.  And, we still don't know what for.  It almost sounded like the president was feeling so great that he was in the hallway doing cartwheels.

Dr. Conley said the president was tested and found positive for Covid-19 more than thirty hours before the American people were informed.  That is important because it could have saved a lot of people from getting too close without masks.  As of an hour ago, we have been informed that there are now three United States Senators  who have tested positive, along with Hope Hick, Kellyanne Conway, the President of Notre Dame, and countless others of Trump's inner circle.  All because of a White House lawn "garden party" to celebrate the happy Republicans who were welcoming another nominee of their own to the U.S. Supreme Court.  Lots of hugs, laughs, and high-fives...and foolish revelers of what became a "super-spreader" of coronavirus.


They wore no masks, such a disgrace, 
spreading their germs all over the place.

And now they are all paying the price.  Including the President, the First Lady, and God only knows who else!

Trump has brought this on all by himself.  He has belittled, downplayed, and outright lied to the American people about the seriousness of this pandemic.  

Last Tuesday evening, during his debate with Joe Biden, he mocked him for "always wearing a mask."  

Trump has never been open with the public about his health or anything that may have cast doubts on his re-election efforts. He is either being devious about the facts or downright dishonest about telling us the truth.

He is not a king.  He is both responsible for - and to -  the American People.  And I doubt he will ever learn this.  But he can rest in his presidential suite at Walter Reed and, hopefully, think about it.

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
