The Treasonous "Big Two"


House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) are perched atop the Republican hierarchy in the U.S. House. The third position is held - for the moment - by Liz Cheney (R-WY) as head of the Conference Committee. 

Cheney had voted to impeach the former president and is presently refusing to accept his "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was stolen and the Party's involvement in the Jan. 6th Insurrection on our Capitol. This has created an opportunity for McCarthy and Scalise to finally get another "believer" to join the "Big Three."

It is unbelievable to any normal thinking American that you can be elevated in job position if you accept an earthquake-jolting lie, and you can be bounced out of office if you prefer the truth!  The "Big Lie" is tantamount to waging a war against our democracy.

McCarthy makes his regular junkets to Mar-a-Largo to visit the "great one" and get his marching orders.  It is as if he is Dorothy visiting the "Great OZ behind the curtain" and accepting all that is said as gospel. However, it would serve McCarthy well if he -  and others who are in fear of the "great one" -  would pull back the curtain and find that the real truth will not be found from this bumpkin!


Regardless, McCarthy and Scalise have found the perfect stooge to round out their "big three":  Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).  She is a Harvard graduate (2006) and Albany Academy for Girls (2002).  She is a BFF of Donald J. Trump and will follow him "over the cliff" with excitement!  She is actively campaigning for Cheney's office, even before the vote is taken. McCarthy may have told her to wait until the "body is cold" first, but if he did, she's not waiting!

This entire mess is one for the history books. When an elected representative can be booted out of her office because she came down on the side of truth and will be replaced by those who come down on the side of lies, says much about who - and what - is running the Republican Party.

Republican Voters:  Are you accepting all of this?

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
