A liar's gotta' do what a liar's gotta' do. . .


Lying became easy at a very early age. They were in their big boy pants, full of pee and vinegar, and thought themselves invincible. Losing was not an option to their hairbrained ideas. A few lies here and there were acceptable. After all, it was their time to shine and shoot for the moon. The Republican Party was hungry for a few wins and if it brought in a few billion extra for their friends in the higher income brackets, that was okay, too.

It was the saber-rattling election between George W. Bush and Al Gore that brought out highly corrupt dealings in the state of Florida where a guy named Brother Jeb Bush was governor. When the election recount was taking place and it was getting closer to a win for Gore, suddenly, ol' Jeb called a halt to the recount and threw it to the U.S. Supreme Court for a decision.  The court, of course, was stacked in favor of Republicans and that meant an obvious win for the  conservative George W. He was immediately given the Oval Office. Later in his term, "W" and his VP "uncle Dick" Cheney wanted to go into Iraq and do some heavy money hauling under the disguise that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction laying around all over the place. Of course that was soon found to be just another big fat lie from the Republicans, but America stood around with their fingers up their noses and let it all disappear into smoke and mirrors. 

While we promise ourselves we won't let them get away with it again, we watched a new breed of lying charlatans who make all before them shake with fear. Donald Trump upgraded the right to outstrip all others with his GOP Lie-o-Meter 2.0 The count was lost after a fact-check of 35,000 of his lies were recorded. When he lost the re-election bid, he nearly started the second civil war by prosecuting a coup and insurrection on our government. Fake electors were signed up by helpful Republicans around the country and ready to have a fake electoral count to give him the win. Again, he was caught along with his GOP cronies in congress and several states and court cases are still moving through the justice system.

So, what do the Republicans have up their sleeves for the 2024 election?  We can bet it'll be a dozy! Most history experts see a continued assault on our democracy, rule of law, and constitution. Their ideology is so far out of the mainstream of America that, by their own admission, they have no hope of winning another election fairly!

A man's gotta' do what a man's gotta' do. . . 

And a Republican's gotta' lie about what a Republican's gotta' lie about!

It's their way of life.

Can we really, in all good sense, vote for any more of them?

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
