The Jackals are Inside Our Gates!


Charles Schultz, cartoonist and creator of the comic strip "Peanuts" said it best through the words he wrote for good ol' Charlie Brown:  "Good Grief!"

My words would be, "Who loosed these Hounds of Hell?"

We have all been painfully aware of the hostile, unpatriotic Republican  desperados in the U.S. House of Representatives for some time now.  And, they are also active in our U. S. Senate.  Their contrarian, obnoxious, and overtly hostile actions in those hallowed halls have been televised for the whole world to see  - which I assumed was their  intention.  One casts aside his jacket, rolls up his sleeves, and wants all of us to know he's "the boss" of the shindig as he does his rapid-fire demeaning of anyone within earshot.  Several others interrupts and bark back at witnesses giving testimony like the proverbial junk yard dogs of the House. They consider themselves not just House Republicans, but the House "Super Republicans." They are opposed to such pesky things as:  rule of law, Capitol decorum, mission statement of the Grand Old Party, and our democracy, in general.  To most, they aren't really Republicans at all, but rather a horde about to spawn another political party.

These individuals have crawled out onto the ledge of sanity and are screaming at we Americans in the dark of night.  Their judgement has sprung from the likes of their idol, the former president, or from their own warped and wrong-headed sense of dishonoring our nation's long, rich heritage. 

What are they really about? No one has asked these unpatriotic devils to rewrite our constitution, tear apart our bill of rights, or reshape the equality of our branches of government. Take, for example, a newly elected upstart Representative from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R).  She came to the House just days ago, packing the papers to begin the impeachment of President Joe Biden. Cute.  This is the kind of Republicans that are being elected these days?

You know a few more of these unpatriotic elected officials by their names:  Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Lindsay Graham, Sen. Josh Hawley, Minority House Leader Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Jim Jordan, Rep. Matt Gaetz,  and Rep. Louis Gohmert. But there are several more.  Some of these are being investigated for questionable actions they may have taken in the Jan. 6th insurrection on our capitol.  The Speaker of the House said any who are found guilty will be removed from office.

While we all want the bad taste of the past four years to go away, we cannot allow elected members of both houses of our congress to escape our laws.  What kind of a legislative body would we display to our nation - and the world - if we allowed them to skip punishment for crimes we would not waive for our citizens?

Good Grief!  What have we become?  

A horde of treasonists 
from our  executive and legislative branches?

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
