Cow Dung On Millionaire Boots...

What in the world were you thinking of Montana GOP?  How did you let the worst of the worst grab hold of the reins?  Why did you let them shove the moderates aside and foist these bad hombres onto the state?

There is not a level-headed thinker in the bunch.  As we gaze across the state, you have dropped the hammer on some great candidates and dredged the bottom with the likes of Gianforte "the body slammer," Daines "the shadow of Trump," and Arntzen "the worm in the teacher's apple."  You also did yourself a great disservice with a smattering of hellbent-on-Montana-destruction folks in the State Legislature.

In short, you really stepped in cow dung 
up to your knees this time, Republicans!

Brady Wiseman, a former state legislator, said, "We have elected the most reactionary governor in 30 years.  And the Legislature?  The Republican legislative caucuses have self-selected the most extremist, right-wing membership for two solid decades, driving out the moderates among them.  These are not your Main Street, country club Republicans.  This is an ideologically driven wrecking crew.  They will interpret their victory as an undeniable mandate to bust out their sledge hammers and spark up their cutting torches.  Plainly speaking, we are about to be governed by the most extreme faction among Montanans at large."


We are in for a wild ride.  Most of the state Republican voters will freeze in their tracks when they see the most radical office holders in decades begin swinging that wrecking ball.  The voters will wonder what evil they have  wrought...and what miracle will be needed to undo the mess.

President Trump's wickedness has permeated across the country and, thanks to Sen. Daines, even to Montana.  Daines is still insisting that Trump will win a second term of office.

Tread lightly, Montana.  Gov. Gianforte and his horde of radical Republicans are on the loose!  Anything worth while to ordinary Montanans will be tossed aside like last week's news, while the affluent, the white, and the powerful will bask in the evil glow of far-right thinking.

The rest of us, not so much.

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
