To Be snookered. . . on Not To Be snookered...that is the question!


When we contemplate the question of whether Donald Trump is qualified to run for the office of the president again, we need to decide who is qualified to judge him. Will they decide his qualifications based on how the question will be posed?  "Is Donald J. Trump charged with insurrection against the United States Government or is he charged with insurrection against the United States Constitution?"

His crack team of attorneys are defending him as an insurrectionist against the government and they are refusing to address the question that he should be charged with insurrection against the constitution.

Our constitution is the important and the central instrument to this entire  case. If we do not adhere to each line of this document, we are simply letting biased attorneys and supreme court justices set this country's legal pathway. 

According to retired Federal Judge Luttig and many attorneys who practice in the federal realm, Donald Trump is guilty of the 14th Amendment, Section 3. 

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or an officer of the United States, or as a member of any Sate legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
I am not an attorney nor have I ever played one on television, but it doesn't take one to understand our Constitution. The problem here is simple:  Many of our politicians have law degrees, but know just enough to twist things to fit their politics. 

Let's not let that happen here. If we allow them to keep re-writing our Constitution, we'll lose it - and then the next thing we'll lose is our democracy!

This will undoubtedly end up in the U.S. Supreme Court - unless Trump wins another term and tosses the entire act of treason in the dumpster. If it gets to the high court, we can only hope that they see it as an assault on our Constitution.

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

It's immoral to even let him run for office. . .

  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
