"You can't take your eyes off of them for a second. . . "

The incredible jaw-dropping plan from the Grand Old Party of  Trump to win the 2024 presidential election is beginning to come into focus for those who want to look.  The following is a news story from the Wisconsin Examiner by Ruth Conniff dated Oct. 28, 2021. It explains how the Wisconsin Republican Party officials tried to confiscate the actual voter ballots of Nov. 2020 by hoodwinking the state election officials into handing them over to GOP Party officials  for their own "audit" shell game.

"Republicans seem to figure they can get away with distorting the audit bureau's findings because most people won't actually read the report for themselves. Specifically, Vos (the GOP official) pointed to elections officials in Madison who 'wouldn't even turn over the basic ballots to have the Legislative Audit Bureau -- totally nonpartisan, totally respected - even do their job. 'But, as the LAB report itself states, the clerk in Madison who didn't turn over those ballots was merely following guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice, which warned that she could be violating the federal Civil Rights Act if she gave up physical custody of election records. 'In part as a result of this guidance from the DOJ, the City of Madison clerk did not allow us to physically handle election records,' the LAB report explains.
Rather than run afoul of federal law, the Madison clerk offered auditors the chance to view the ballots without physical custody of them. The auditors didn't take her up on that offer."

Of course, we know why they refused.

The Wisconsin Election Official said, about the Republicans who were insisting on doing their own audit of Biden's Wisconsin win, "You can't take your eyes off of them for a second."

The serious monkey business now underway in more than half of our states by the Republican Party of Trump will aim to overturn any election they lose with similar game plans. It is frightening, it is illegal, and it will mark the end of our democracy!

The most telling sentence in the above new story is this: "Republicans seem to feel they can get away with distorting the audit bureau's findings because most people won't actually read the report for themselves."

I can understand Americans who will fight to the death before losing our democracy. . . but how on earth can uninformed and disinterested Americans simply let it be snookered away from them?

And I would bet my next social security check the plan book has been sent to Helena, dusted off, Republican eyeballs scanning the pages, and visions of elections overturned in their little minds. . .  as we speak!

VOTERS BEWARE!

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
