Why such frantic efforts Trump’s last days impeaching him? Trump’s promise to drain the D.C. Swamp terrorizes them. The same as making a tapeworm leave your body is its death sentence! During the Obama depression no one in D.C. or surrounding counties knew hard times. Money sloshed all around the Swamp. Swampsters hate Trump worse […]
Let’s get out of the weeds
Many of us are upset with the “Feds”. The actions of Congress and the unelected bureaucracy are slowly depriving us of our God given constitutional rights.

The traffic there is horrendous. You spend more time getting where you want to be than being there. And then you […]
We will miss you, Darlene

Bad info and populism
To Henry Fowler: Thank you for making me aware of Eatwell and Goodwin’s book on national populism. I hope you read other writers on the topic as well — the reviews of Eatwell and Goodwin seem mostly to applaud their quantity of data but not necessarily their conclusions.

I need to go fishing
by Chuck Stranahan I need to go fishing. To say so can invite somebody else to jab me, saying “So why don’t you do it?” It’s not that easy these days. My gear is in worse shape than its usual state of perpetual disarray. As for me, let’s just say I’m not feeling up to […]

Desperate Donald’s downfall
There once was a liar named Donald Trump who was tossed out like old worthless junk. “Get out – you’re fired!”, we the people said, having had enough of him in Putin’s bed. Herd immunity was Trump’s murderous plan, to do nothing but laugh at dead Americans. While Russian hackers steal our information, Traitor […]
An existential threat
How ironic to open the Bitterroot Star last Wednesday to read Henry Fowler’s latest apologist letter extolling ‘National Populism’ on the very day that radical extremists assaulted and seized the Capitol building of our great country. The United States Congress was convened to perform their constitutional duty to certify the States electoral votes, while the […]
