The Arizona Adventure in Never-Never Land. . .


The Republicans are having a hell of a time keeping their lies and skullduggery straight. Even the best of them are tripping over their own plans to move our country straight from a democracy to an ugly state of authoritarianism. Consider the fiasco taking place in Arizona regarding the 2020 election.  

A letter to Senate Republicans from Jack Sellers, chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors - Arizona's largest county - said, "It is now August 2021 and the election of November 2020 is over. If you haven't figured out that the election in Maricopa County was free, fair, and accurate yet, I'm not sure you ever will."  He continued, "The Board has real work to do and little time to entertain this adventure in never-never land. Please finish whatever it is that your are doing and release whatever it is you are going to release."

Arizona Republicans and Cyber Ninjas, whose CEO, Doug Logan, is a proponent of Trump's bogus election fraud claims, began their sideshow review in April. The company, which had no experience auditing elections, completed a recount last month - a process that compromised voting equipment that will likely need to be replaced on taxpayers' dime. They have demanded that the county turn over even more material, including its computer routers, which Trump screamed out at a rally, "We want the routers!" 

"The 'Big Lie' is not actually about reversing the Arizona 2020 election, but rather undermining future elections, sowing doubt in the process and justifying the slate of disenfranchisement laws Republicans have been rushing to enact in Arizona and elsewhere!"          by Vanity Fair - Eric Lutz

The fight by many Republicans to overturn elections and drag our nation into a land ruled by authoritarians is real and it is happening now. This is not a wild-eyed conspiracy theory by some crackpot liberal.  If you watch news on any channel other than FOX, you will learn about it. 

Get involved or get out of the way.

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
