Dereliction of Duty

There are enough traitors and saboteurs in our current houses of congress and former president cronies to fill the Reflection Pool in the Washington Mall. And that's just how some folks would like to fill it. However, since it's only about 18 inches deep at the edges and about 30 inches deep in the middle, most of them would unfortunately survive.

Dereliction of duty is a serious charge. Willful or negligent failure to perform assigned duties or performing them in a culpably inefficient manner is something no United States President has ever been charged with committing.

Since the president is also the commander-in-chief, it is presumed he could fall under the punishment handed out to our military personnel.  That would include: loss of all pay and allowances, dishonorable discharge and confinement. In times of war, (such as was going on in Afghanistan during his watch) an individual could receive the death penalty.

Regardless of the punishment that could be considered today, we must consider the act by the president that envisions the very basis for the charge of dereliction of duty.

There is now sufficient proof that the former president sat in front of a television in the White House lunch room just off the Oval Office and watched as the January 6, 2021 insurrection was being carried out without lifting a finger to stop it.  There are also phone records of who he talked to during those three hours and seven minutes. He was continually asked by aides, as well as family members, to stop the deadly attack and he did nothing.  He wanted the thugs to disrupt the Electoral College's voting by congress, and to overturn the win for Biden and give it to him. Miraculously, it failed - but it was frighteningly close to succeeding!

This man, his political cronies, and those members of congress who conspired with him should not be allowed to slither into the weeds without punishment! Otherwise, what do we have a Department of Justice for?  What do we have laws for? What do we have attorneys for? What do we have prisons for?

We must demand justice!

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
