The truth be told

August 12, 2025 by Guest Post

by Don Herr, Hamilton

Congratulations to a wise gentleman for his informative letter in the Bitterroot Star on 7/30.

He said it pure and simple, how we have such a corrupt gov’t which is now being laid open to the good people by President Donald Trump.

He covered it good when he said, and I quote, “God is great, dogs are good, and people are crazy.” What more can we say in so few words?

Our country is not perfect by any means and no one is, but we still are the greatest and basically the strongest on earth. Donald Trump is batting one hundred percent to fulfill his promises made. He has suffered so much from the crooked, evil people who apparently hate our country and him so much, to try every dirty trick in the book to change the USA into a communist country.

I have news for these evil people, that we are not going to let this happen. Get back under the rocks where you came from!

It amazes me how so many people come to Washington to represent us in the gov’t, and on their salaries spend some time in Congress or other office for a while, and leave as millionaires. How corrupt!

Millions of dollars stolen by the crooks that is meant to help those citizens who are hurting, veterans who sacrificed for our country and can’t get the help they need. All of us who can’t afford food, gas, insurance, and the younger generation who can’t buy a home or nice car, etc.

Joe Biden and gang about destroyed our country with everything they did or didn’t do. Thank goodness that our Heavenly Father is with the President and I’m sure saved his life, and has a purpose for him to correct the evil that has been done.

I am sure that the bad people in the gov’t are in for a reckoning fairly soon.

If they are leftist Democrats or RINO Republicans doesn’t  matter. There will hopefully be prison time, maybe huge fines and permanently losing any chance of ever working for our country again.

I suggest that these people who hate this country so bad better pack up their stuff and permanently leave the country.

We as patriotic citizens are not going to put up with all their crap any longer.

It saddens me that so many people here in our valley buy into the crap being fed to us by the left fake news media. They continue with all the lies they told about Donald Trump which have been proven to be false.

I do not hate the Democrats in general, as I know some who are good people and also hate what the party is doing.

It makes me glad that we still have older citizens and a younger generation who love our country, and respect our President and those helping him.

I really respect Elon Musk who has the nerve and power to stand up for free speech. Each of us can decide for ourselves what is true and false, and we don’t have to accept what is being told to us by the fake news.

I truly believe that the left Democrats are on a slippery slope and headed downhill rapidly.

They also curse him for his playing golf. The man works tirelessly for the country and all of us. He has survived all the cruel lies, lawsuits, etc. against him and came out the other side more popular than usual. He doesn’t even take a salary for all he is doing, so I’m told. He needs the time to relax somewhat and golf is his way of doing it.

Compare that to “BDB” (Brain-dead Biden) who spent most of his time hiding somewhere, or sitting on a beach not doing a darn thing good.

I am a Christian, I believe 100% in the Bible, and it tells us that one day, probably soon now, God is returning to stop all the bad and will deal with the righteous and the wicked for whatever they may deserve.

For now though – MAGA is good.

    Funny you say Democrats or RINOs should be punished for breaking laws, but not regular ol’ Republicans. Are they exempt from laws? Or you assume any Republican who does break laws must be a RINO?

    Funny you say Trump spending hours and hours golfing is fine, but any Democrat taking a break is clearly lazy.

    Funny you say Democrats are trying to make the country communist. But you’re okay with Republicans using every trick in the book to solidify their power?

    Is gerrymandering only okay when Republicans do it? Is golfing only okay when Republicans do it? Is stacking the courts, governing by executive order, and firing everyone who disagrees with you only okay when Republicans do it? Because I guarantee if it were Kamala doing these things, you’d be screaming for her head.

    Remember that Hitler survived numerous assassination attempts. I may never understand why “God” saved Hitler. But then I read the Bible a little more carefully. Who is so often referred to as the “prince” or “ruler” of this earthly realm? Hint: it ain’t God.

      Who Cares about him playing Golf? Obama played a ton of golf. Our Last President didn’t show up to work until mid morning, took a midday nap, and was in bed by 9, not to mention spent 1/3 of his presidency on vacation. I can say with 100% certainty that he was not getting work done while he was sleeping on the beach.

    Your appreciation of brevity expressed at the beginning got irretrievably lost in your inability to practice it.

    So you’re good with the Epstein case files being released, right?

    • Bill Cavanaugh says

      You’re awfully obsessed with the Epstein Files Gomez. Yet, somehow not a peep out of you during the 4 years the Biden DOJ held the files.

      • Gomez says

        August 16, 2025 at 5:02 PM

        So you’re good with releasing the files then?

        I’m not sure if Trump did or did not do anything untoward with under age girls, but what I do know is that he’s acting like he has something to hide. He’s acting guilty as sin.

          I think his foreign policy strategy is tied to that island…just a thought.

          100%. Nothing to hide. Are you good with them releasing the files on Adam Schiff and his Scam Impeachment Communist show trial proceedings? OR how about his mortgage fraud files? Or how about Act Blues, massive mortgage fraud money laundering files?

          • Gomez says

            August 18, 2025 at 1:54 PM

            Of course, release them all.

            Nothing to hide? Then why in the hell is Trump trying to hide what’s in them? :He must think that you’re stupid.

            All together now, “Release the Epstein files.”
