Why Are These Senators Still In Office?


 As you gaze at these two scoundrels, realize what you are seeing.

Ted Cruz (R-TX) on the left, and Josh Hawley (R-MO) on the right are members of our United States Senate. They refused to accept the Presidential Election results of 2020, and to this day still claim the election was stolen.  They do so with absolutely no proof!

Definition of Treason:  The crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to overthrow the government.

Definition of Sedition:  A violation of a citizen's allegiance to the U.S. by betrayal or aiding the country's enemies.

When a senator stands in the well of the United States Senate or on the stage of the CPAC Convention and denies the results of the landslide election, it is sedition at the very least and treason at the very worst.  Proclaiming their lies, and knowing it is being carried on national television, is abhorrent - and criminal. Their declaration is meant to incite violent responses from an already ravenous mob. Whether they truly believe the "Big Lie" they speak of is known only to them.  Their crime, however, is in repeating it and looking for an insurrection to follow.

So why are these two senators still in office?  Why hasn't any action been taken against them?  Our country is in a very dark and dangerous place. The violence that led to the Jan. 6th attack on our Capitol, the hostility from other like-minded senators, and the 143 GOP House Members who also voted to overturn the election, are creating a division in our government that rivals  the run-up to our Civil War. We cannot allow this to continue!

This is happening on our watch, America.  If we continue to let these elected officials "yell fire in a crowded theatre," we will lose our democracy.  It is not their government to turn into a battlefield.  It is ours.  To allow them to continue is like letting the "tail wag the dog."

Each day, we are confronted with mindless chatter and threats of the Republican Party taking control of our government.  It began with the former president's "big lie" about how the election was stolen from him.  Never mind the 306 -232 electoral win for Joe Biden. Never mind the 60+ lawsuits Trump's attorneys took to court with no evidence of election fraud and were thrown out - many by federal judges he appointed.  And never mind that the election was certified by congress on Jan. 6, 2021 - the day he incited his mob to attack the Capitol and try to stop that certification!

These two senators - and many other GOP congressional stooges - are keeping the "big lie" alive and promising that the former president will magically be returned to the Oval Office...maybe as soon as tomorrow, March 4th!

We are living in a fairy tale and the Republicans want all of us to follow them down the "rabbit hole."  We will outlive their lunacy!

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
