The Disruptor's Four Years of terror...




To be a disruptor is to create a way of doing things which displaces the normal activities. Disruptors are generally outsiders, and idealists rather than insiders or specialists.

A disruptor is also a person who interrupts an activity or process by causing a disturbance or problem for his own benefit.  To a disruptor, the ends will justify the means.


The best way to define the four-year term of President Donald J. Trump would be to say his primary goal was to disrupt the normal way America has generally operated since 1776.  To him, it was - and still is - with a great deal of pride that he could turn America on her head and become the political contrarian.   If policy was good for 141 years, he would go another direction - just to show us he was "his own man."  He did it "because he could." It reminds me of the famous Yogi Berra quip, "I came to a fork in the road and I took it."

The people's utter disgust with the disruptor was immense, but he had his pocket of followers, too. And if his carnage wasn't enough, his Republican enablers in the U.S. Senate and House followed his lead and seriously compounded the situation.  The totality of their lies and misdirected messaging caused the people to distrust their media.  They were told to disbelieve what they saw and heard with their own eyes and ears.  This was the disruptor's constant message to the masses...it was paramount to the success of the disruptor!

At the end of his rampage of rule, he lost the popular vote by more than seven million and he lost the electoral vote by much more than enough.  As he viewed his lost, The Washington Post quotes his as "chanting like crazy King George, I won!  I won!  I won!"

But still he refuses to concede.  The numbers are verified and there is no evidence of fraudulent ballots, although he insists the race was stolen from him because there was widespread fraud.  

History will not look kindly on him, and it will not look kindly on our nation, and our democracy.  And our ability to have a sane and secure election is gone forever.  

We have allowed this man to fold, staple, and mutilate our American Dream beyond recognition.

And for that, we will all suffer immeasurably!

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
