The Trump Ties, the Big Lies, the Radicalized. . .

Lindsey Olin Graham is a lawyer and politician serving as the senior U.S. senator from South Carolina, a seat he has held since 2003. He is a member of the Republican Party. He is 66 years old. He graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1981.

His net worth is estimated at  $3 million, but many believe it is much higher. His salary as U.S. Senator is $174,000 a year. This odd happening is common among most our our congressional people - on both sides of the aisle.

Sen. Graham recently said, "The United States will be going back into Afghanistan" in an interview with a BBC reporter. The reporter looked stunned when Graham made the statement that America would reinvade Afghanistan again. Graham said, "We'll have to because the terror threat will be so large."

More incredible words from Graham are on the subject of his idol, the former president, and the "Big Lie" that has tied this nation into knots. The senator praised Trump and agreed that there must have been devious workings in the 2020 election. Later, he made a grand speech from the Senate floor that he was through with his notion that Trump was an honorable man. He had "washed his hands of the mess." 

However, shortly after the former president "retired" to Mar-A-Lago, the senator began making pilgrimages to have audiences with Trump.  Golf outings and splendid lunches seemed to hint at a renewed relationship.  Perhaps Trump's casual mention of his desire to run again in 2024 had something to do with it. Perhaps Graham saw his senate future brightening a bit. 

Graham's phone records between he and Trump seem to be of great importance to the Jan. 6th Committee.  They are likely to be subpoenaed.  The plot thickens!

This senator is still living in the world of the "Big Lie" and the return of the former president to "his rightful chair in the Oval Office.

We cannot trust such a man who holds such a seat of importance in the United States Senate.

He's retirement age - let's nudge him in that direction. Maybe a little boost from the Jan. 6th Committee will help!

We just have to make a clean sweep of those who are still promoting the "Big Lie!"

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
