So Much Montana GOP Hell To Do - So Little Time. . .

UNION BUSTIN' GOP. . . 

Those Montana Republicans are at it again.  First it was tax cuts only for the rich.  Then it was giving more power to the committees and their chairmen. Then it was killing the mask mandate. Then it was killing all abortions in the state.  Then it was guns in bars and college campuses. Then it was firing up the death penalty.  Then it was changing our public school curriculum.  

Now it's Union Bustin' time!  Quite possibly their most favorite game to play since peeing in their diapers.  Oh, how they would love to bust those damnable unions out of orbit and scattered across the universe.  

There is a "Right To Work" bill slithering its way through the legislature as we type.  The GOP have become experts at dressing the RTW bills to look like Sarah Palin's famous "pig with lipstick" in their feeble attempt to fool someone.  It never works but they keep trying.  The fact is, it's Union Bustin' at its ugliest. Their goal is to get union members to stop paying dues.  Union dues pay for many beneficial things for a worker. Collective bargaining legal fees are a big part of the dues amount.  Salaries to union representatives who are fighting for better working conditions, salaries, health conditions, etc. all are included.

A company with union workers has always been a thorn in their side.  Higher salaries for union workers is only part of it. Collective bargaining is what keeps companies on the straight and narrow - and on edge.  It's hard for a corrupt company to cut corners and monkey with safety issues when they have to deal with an eagle-eyed union boss.

All in all, unions are a crooked company's bane.  And they are constantly running to the GOP for help.  And, of course, the Republicans are more than willing to help. . . for the right price!

That's what they do!

What's next?  Changing our voting laws?  The GOP thinks there are just too damn many Democrats allowed to vote. They're working on it in many other states this year.  It's being said that our neighboring Idaho is working on a bill to ONLY allow in-person voting and mail-in ballots for military people who are deployed.  It's my guess Gianforte and his thugs will get to it eventually.

So much Republican hell to do - so little time.

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
