Listed as America's Public Enemy Number One. . .


From out of the swamp came the "Homegrown Terrorists" with all of the ugly and menacing terror the former president could ask of them.

He cajoled, promised, incited, and praised their efforts to the heavens. He incited their lust for power and recognition!

And they did not fail him.

Homegrown, or domestic, terrorism is a form in which victims "within a country are targeted by a perpetrator with the same citizenship" as the victims. There are many definitions of terrorism, and none of them are universally accepted. The United States Department of State defined terrorism in 2003 as "premediated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups of clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience." There is no Federal criminal offense designated as domestic terrorism.


Homeland Security and the Department of Justice has recently labeled America's number one enemy today as Domestic Terrorism! Sadly, it is a label that they wear with great pride. They were enlisted by a segment of the Republican Party of Trump to join them in their fight to overturn the 2020 election and disrupt the very guardrails of our constitution and our democracy.  There seems to be no actions too corrupt and no laws too binding for them to cross. There is but one goal: Win at all cost!

Many Americans believe we are headed toward another Civil War.  

In truth, however, we are already in it.  It may not look like the way the last one started, but the times are different now. This time, they have slowly and methodically armed millions of their "believers" and brainwashed them to accept their conspiracy theories and bald-faced lies.  They have convinced them that our democracy is outdated and our nation is no longer a land of "white supremacy." In roughly forty-four years, according to our census experts, whites will be the minority race. This does not sit well with domestic terrorists.


Don't expect things to magically get back to normal. We are not the America we used to be.  We are no longer that "shining city on the hill."  We cannot awaken tomorrow and expect to see the sun shining on everyone, the people happy and together, and the nation at peace.

Those days are gone.

And they won't come back until we fix the Republican-incited terrorist problems.

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
