Give me our democracy or give me death. . .

A Chink in the MAGA Armor?

What is this I see?  Mitch McConnell, Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate, today stood in the well of the U.S. Senate and said he blames the former president and FOX news' Tucker Carlson, plus many MAGA henchmen and women who were following Putin's orders to stop the bill that would send military aid to Ukraine. The bill passed and the aid will be going out immediately. Are the  MAGA  Marauders losing their strangle hold on the Republican Party? Does the GOP finally see the light? Will they soon realize they're laying bets on a crippled nag? Will it save the Speaker his job - or will it cost him for going against the hard right folks in the U.S. House who were not in favor of more aid to Ukraine?

The house of cards was bound to fall apart some time. It was never meant to work, but the egos of the perpetrators couldn't let go of the attention they were getting. 

The triggermen and women who were calling the shots gave it their all, but they lacked that one important ingredient: credibility! The went about their treasonous ways with arrogance and little-to-nothing else. They will go down in the history books as traitors to their country!

When the reality sinks in, the MAGA minions and their leader will scurry away and that will be the end. Some will find it hard to give up and they will keep the "home fires burning," but it will be impossible and we will have to contend with one more of those relatively small, but pesky, hate groups. Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene and her horde will be feisty, but their hometown supporters will see to it that they all melt away.

Our democracy will once again survive a brutal and deadly attack.

Our nation will once again survive a vicious coup attempt.

And the former president will finally understand why America would rather die than live under his authoritarian rule!

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
