Greetings! Here are the topics for today’s column:
- Zinke’s Plot Idea
- Biden & Supreme Court
- Fixed so Good
ZINKE’S PLOT IDEA:
The Daily Beast is reporting that Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT), the former Trump Administration Secretary of the Interior who resigned amid scandals over taxpayer-funded travel and potential conflicts of interest, wondered Monday whether the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was part of a larger “plot” that may have involved high-level government officials.
I love a good conspiracy. I hope they make the “plot” into a movie.
Read the report from the Daily Beast HERE.
BIDEN & SUPREME COURT:
President Joe Biden unveiled his plan for the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday. Some of the ideas are good, but the chances of any getting done are pretty slim.
“Extremism is undermining the public confidence in the court’s decisions,” Biden said. Of course, if the court was divided 6-3 for the liberals, we would be hearing the “extremism” cry from the Republicans.
Biden called to do away with lifetime appointments. The Associated Press (AP) reported that Biden says Congress should pass legislation to establish a system in which the sitting president would appoint a justice every two years to spend 18 years in service on the court.
I like the lifetime appointments for Federal judges.
One part that I do agree with Biden about is a better code of ethics for the federal judges. The AP reported:
He (Biden) also wants Congress to pass legislation establishing a court code of ethics that would require justices to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity and recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other conflicts of interest.
The AP reported that there was some other talk from Biden calling on Congress to pass a constitutional amendment reversing the Supreme Court’s recent landmark immunity ruling that determined former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution.
Biden is a lame-duck President and Congress is in election mode (which they seem to be all the time), so nothing is going to get done.
Check out the AP story HERE.
FIXED SO GOOD:
Reuters and other sources are reporting that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Christians on Friday that if they vote for him this November, “in four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”
Reuters also reported:
Trump was speaking at an event organized by the conservative group Turning Point Action in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Trump said: “Christians, get out and vote, just this time. “You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.”
He added: “I love you Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote,” Trump said.
I have heard many people say, “I’m a Christian.” I am a Christian, and I very seldom doubt someone’s claims of being Christian, but I really don’t trust anything that Trump says. We will all find out in the end who is right.
Some said they thought Trump would do away with democracy. I believe Trump wants to be a dictator, like Putin. That is why he must never step foot in the White House again.

LOL’z
Poor old Joe has about as much of a chance getting a Constitutional Amendment passed as he does getting Cancer cured 🙂
Thanks for your comment. I’m glad Biden was able to push for a cancer “moonshot” and get funds for more research. People who lose family and friends to the terrible disease are probably pretty happy, too.
Of course the amendment won’t pass. I wrote about it earlier this week. Nothing will get done until after the election. -JmB
You know what’s weird?
Grown, adult men squeezing their bulging bellies into camouflage uniforms, going out in the woods with combat weapons they usually don’t even know how to safely operate, and playing stalwart patriots against godless commies.
Talk about a farce!
Watching Trump tell Megan Kelly about the blood coming out of his ear was weird when you remember him saying she had blood coming out of her “whatever”.
Speaking of weird, Bush described Trumps inauguration speech as, “some weird shit.” The Democrats finally adopted that word.
I remember that comment about Megyn Kelly. Now she is all-in for Trump.
The “some weird shit” comment has withstood the test of time. It’s now a common theme for everything Trump does. -JmB
You know what’s weird?
Grown adult men in women’s clothing reading stories to 6 year olds.
Maybe so. I think it’s “weird” that Trump lied over 30,000 times and people are still dumb enough to support him. -JmB
Do we have some guys in ladies’ clothes running for president?
Don’t think do, at least not at present. But we do have Trump and Vance doing and saying the weird shit they do, running.
Looks like you guys are part of the club.
The Big Lebowski star Jeff Bridges, Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin, and Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame were among the many famous faces — along with left-wing lawmakers like Adam Schiff (D-CA) — who joined a virtual “White Dudes of Harris” event Monday night. It was the latest of such events hosted in an all-out effort to raise funds for Vice President Kamala Harris in her bid for the White House.
The WDOH with an overwhelming dose of TDS.
It’s great that so many people are getting involved in the political process!
The AP reports that Harris raised over $200 million and signed up 170,000 volunteers. That’s pretty incredible. -JmB
And inspired some pretty frantic HDS from the MAGA club along the way. Kind of like watching angry monkeys flinging poo.
So good for her.
Not to worry, Swede. You guys have your own white boys club too. And it’s quite an eclectic group. And it looks like KDS is already setting in! God knows if you guys can survive four, or possibly eight years, of a powerful black woman as our president! To quote Clinton, I feel your pain! Viva 2025!
Regarding “fixing the election system” – I watched Rachel Maddow last night, and she had a hypothesis to explain what he meant. Rather alarming. In short, we must keep on eye on our local elections departments and certification of elections at the county level. If election deniers are in power, they can try to prevent certification at the county level, which could gum up the works at the state level, and eventually you have trouble on January 6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz7KeyWXuZA
I agree. The local elections departments have a lot of power and can really screw things up. – JmB
Silly Ryan.
Everyone knows the Trump assasination attempt was most likely a false flag operation by the Trump campaign itself, to gain sympathy for Tubby and focus the public narrative back on him.
This isn’t just my theory, but also the one of a top aide to a respected billionaire. And if a top aide to a billionaire is saying it, well … everyone knows how bright billionaires and their top aides are.
If people were to wade into the cesspool that is X (formerly Twitter) to take a look the theory is probably somewhere there too. And X (formerly Twitter) is of course the gold standard of reliable information.

I don’t think the shooting was a “false flag.” But, since it happened the Trump team has used it to their advantage. -JmB
I’m still thinking about you fearing Trump will be a dictator, weird. 30,000 lies! That’s just incredible.
The way Trump has praised Putin over the years and Trump said he and Kim Jong Un “fell in love” is unprecedented for a President to say. Trump could easily try to stay in power if he wins in November. It would not surprise me. -JmB
The MAGAs are running a commercial portraying fat donny as having been sent by the Almighty to save our country. How do you rebut that level of stupidity and ignorance? Only one way. The Lincoln project. They knock it outta the park with their own version of Don the con being sent by God, a version that everyone except those in the farthest reaches of the cult can understand. Enjoy.
Also, as Trump’s ship is sinking more by the day, staunch MAGA sycophant and navy seal Zinke is determined to throw him a Hail Mary lifeline. If folks ignore the fact that Zinke was run out of Washington the first time around because of blatant corruption, maybe he can keep alive the already dead issue of a lone mentally ill kid taking a shot at trump. Maybe he can regenerate the sympathy factor for the sexual predator convicted felon con man to such a degree as to win back some votes. And maybe he can even make pigs fly, and make couches and dolphins things that don’t immediately conjure up laughter when used in the same sentence with Vance!
But it ain’t working. Trump survived and people moved on. The blog comments after the Zinke plot article are mainly a rehash of Zinke’s felonious escapades as Interior Department head. Instead of shining light on his bizarre plot theory, Zinke shined it right back on himself. Which is hilarious. I always suspected that Zinke played too much football without a helmet. Now I’m certain of it!
Great article follows about the slow demise of the Montana MAGA cult.
