Arnie Arnesen
opening thoughts: political poem by Lyn Ekedahl
Our Land’s in trouble! It’s adrift
On an endless sea of grift!
Felons serving everywhere
The Don can find an empty chair.
Those in jail for fraud and such
Quickly feel Don’s soothing touch.
You get out of jail for free
When you’ve paid The Don his fee!
Too bad the victims won’t get paid,
They’re just losers I’m afraid.
The Don prefers the winners who
Can work a nifty scam or two.
One scam that’s just become the rage
Needs just a little help to wage.
Prediction markets let you soar
If you already know the score.
A scumbag gross, corrupt, reptilian
Can work that scam and make a million.
All one needs to take that ride
Is access to the facts inside.
Insider trade—or treason tried
If the info’s classified!
Either way, sentencing guides
Would put these sleaze bags deep inside.
But they’re protected by The Don.
Perhaps one of them is Little Don!
Until the Donald goes away,
These villains will keep making hay!
A long-shot Libertarian candidate running for the U.S. Senate in Montana pledged to introduce legislation to draft Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) if elected. “I’m running for US Senate. If elected, the first bill I introduce will draft Lindsey Graham into any conflict he publicly supports while in office,” Tom Jandron wrote in a post on the social platform X on Wednesday.
Jandron is a retired member of the Montana National Guard and a veteran who served in Afghanistan, according to his campaign website. His criticism of Graham follows the war hawk’s outspoken support for the Trump administration’s continuing military operations against Iran.
The U.S. and Israel launched joint strikes on the Middle Eastern country at the end of February, following failed nuclear deal negotiations. Graham has encouraged the White House to “take” Kharg Island, a major oil export hub off the coast of Iran. GOP Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) slammed Graham for his support for these military operations, calling him “Washington’s war machine.”
The senator has recently taken a softer tone amid ongoing peace deal negotiations between the U.S. and Tehran. President Trump said Thursday that he would temporarily pause strikes on the country’s energy infrastructure while Iranian officials review a 15-point plan to end the conflict. Graham expressed his hope on Thursday that the U.S. can secure agreements from Iran to limit its ballistic missile program, cut its ties with terrorist groups and cease developments of nuclear weapons.
“If diplomacy can achieve these objectives, I would not only support it, but I would also prefer it because war literally is hell,” the senator wrote in a post on X. Jandron is running to replace Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) after the sitting senator announced he was retiring merely three minutes before the filing deadline in early March. Daines endorsed Kurt Alme, the Republican U.S. attorney for the District of Montana, in the race. Two candidates are challenging Alme in the Republican race, and five candidates are running for the Democratic spot in the midterm election. Jandron is one of two libertarians in the race and will participate in the state’s primary election on June 2.
