Same Trump Song, Second Verse; Can't Get Better, Will Get Worse


The Gianforte Reign has not even begun, and yet he and his herd are trumpeting like young bulls on a warm moonlit evening in the beer gardens of Bozeman.

There appears to be a contest to see who can find the most sacrosanct of Montana laws to overturn first.  There will also be no rules too consequential for ordinary citizens that can't be plowed under, as well. 

Montana is about to become a microcosm of what the greater elephant herd in Washington D.C. foisted upon all Americans.  When the herd's leader, Donald J. Trump, came in power, he loosed the hounds of hell onto all creation.  By his example, he showed every elephant in America that if you want power, you simply take it.  There will be no time to ask politely, no time to bother with the truth, and no time to look back.  Our democracy be damned!  You can have rule of law and rights for all, or you can have an authoritarian reign where all power is held by the leader and the political party -  in his absolute dominion. 

The Governor-Elect, the Junior U.S. Senator, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and various Chairs of the Montana Legislator are well versed in the workings of a corrupt political clique.  They have witnessed it first hand and they are chomping at the bits to tear things apart.

The first sign of dust on the horizon was from the stampeding elephants as they headed to Helena and the book of legislative rules. They were hell-bent on giving more power to their committee chairs, not just to get bills passed that are to their liking, but to control the opposition from even an opportunity to submit bills.  In other words, the elephant's assault on the Montana way of life has already begun before they even get sworn in.

To add insult to injury, the Gov.-Elect, the junior U.S. Senator, and the current Attorney General have all thrown in with the national bulls of the herd and want the results of the Biden win tossed out.  And they can say that with a very straight face.

Montanans, I know you voted them in, but I just don't believe they are really what you had in mind.  

It's going to be a re-run of the "Terrible Trump Years" right here at home.

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
