The Rape of Lady Liberty. . .


Is There Still Justice In America?

Me and a bunch of my ordinary American friends met for coffee in my home and decided we didn't like the way the last election ended. We're pretty sure there was hanky-panky and it's time someone did something about it. So, we began by blanketing social media with messages of our thoughts and started recruiting the country's ne'er-do-wells to meet at the country's headquarters and turn this stolen election around. We urge them to bring guns and come ready to fight.  While me and my friends watch from an undisclosed location, the ne'er-do-well insurrectionists storm the headquarters and caused injuries, death, and severe damage to the headquarters.

The FBI is hot on our trail and it takes but a few hours to find us. Other law enforcement, with the help of FBI, round up many of the ne'er-do-wells, slap them on the wrists, and send  a few of them to the pokey.

Me and my friends, however, have our identities exposed and at 10:23 AM EST the next day the FBI is knocking on our doors with handcuffs dangling in our faces when we open up. We are eating prison food by dinner time. . . the same day!

Meanwhile, there is another side of America - the side where me and my friends would be if we were "well heeled and enjoying great political power."  We would be able to not only tell the cops we don't feel like answering questions right now, so they can put their handcuffs away.  We have the best lawyers money can buy, and they can keep us out of jail, still eating in our favorite restaurants, enjoying the good life, and thumbing our noses at America's Department of Justice. . . for months, maybe even for years!

Americans are told the wheels of justice turns slow.

That, too, is a capitalistic and political lie. They can turn as slow as they want them to turn. 

I am predicting that many of us will never live to see the true villain's who planned, orchestrated, and even participated in the Jan. 6th Insurrection sent to the "big house." Most of those who are now elected officials will even be allowed to run for office again, even though they worked to overthrow a presidential election of the United States of America, prosecute a coup on our government, and nearly decapitated our democracy!

This has never been done in the history of our country.

And, as of today, it is slightly more than ten months since it happened and the criminals are still on the loose and living the good life.

Think about the outcome if it was done by me and my ordinary friends. We would have been sentenced to life in federal prison, deported, or executed as traitors to our country.

Does anyone think about what the heck we are allowing to happen here?

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
