Enjoy a holiday that really matters. You know, kids playing dress up, meeting the neighbors, and binging on free candy. Push aside all the noise in your life, along with any Jehovah's Witnesses trying to pee in your Cheerios, and just enjoy the moment. Watch the kids having fun, and learn from them. That is all.

The Moose Droppings is going to go out on a limb and say that 99.99999% of Americans live in an echo chamber, and put in zero original thought to anything they do, say or believe. If you are reading this, then yes we mean you. Don’t feel bad, the staff at the Moose Droppings is probably equally as guilty. After all, we all have our biases, and it is human nature to want to believe we are corect.
What do we mean by an echo chamber? We mean that as people we actively search out others who will support our beliefs, values and prejudices, and avoid those who will disagree with us. We want to know that we are smarter than everyone who has a different point of view. Therefore we seek out people and information that cheers us on, and devalues any other point of view and debases anyone who holds those points of view.
The Far-Left naturally seek out CNN, NPR, The New York Times, Rachel Maddow and Bill Maher. The Far-Right live and breathe Fox, Tucker Carlson, The Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh and Dennis Miller. Neither group will listen to anything the other’s pundits will say, unless it comes from a sound bite from their pundits that is used to show what morons the other side is. Psychologists call this confirmation bias, and it wouldn’t be so bad except for the severity of the rhetoric and the level of nastiness being displayed towards our fellow man.
Do you use derogatory terms to alter the names of politicians who disagree with you? You know, Orangeman, The Mocha Messiah, Nazi Pelosi? Bitch McConnell? Then you are guilty of living in the echo chamber, as well as being a disrespectful boor. Ever stated that Obummer or the Drumpf is not your president? Then you have a poor understanding of how a democracy and a republic work, as well as being a sore loser.
The Moose Droppings would like to respectfully request that all of you citizens of this great experiment called America put in some original thought to this election. Wipe your minds clean of your biases, the TV ads and social media sales pitches, and actually do some research on your candidates. See what they stand for, what their party’s stand for, what their voting records have been, and then put some thought into whether or not any of it makes any sense or is actually viable.
When someone promises you the moon, the Garden of Eden, and free anything at no cost to you, fire up your BS detectors and ask how that is remotely possible. Stop having your views and opinions sold to you by the mass media. If Google and Amazon can stick ads for products in front of you based on your browsing history, do you really believe that CNN, Fox, and Youtube aren’t doing the same? For a fun experiment, watch CNN and Fox, side by side, cover a story. If you think only one of those is obviously biased, you need to leave the echo chamber and get some fresh air.
Quit listen to your friends and family. They were sold the same bill of goods that they are now parroting to you. Try voting with logic, instead of emotion and feelings, Quite simply, step out of the echo chamber, and put in some original thought into who you are, and what is important in life. Here’s a little hint, it isn’t free stuff, or the people who promise to give you more free stuff.
Here’s another little hint. Vilifying people for having a different perspective or priorities doesn’t make a person right, it just makes them an intolerant ass. Using or threatening to use force to try and change other’s views doesn’t make for a moral plan for change, it just makes the aggressor an evil bastard. The last western country that seriously ramped up rhetoric, divisiveness, and that had an echo chamber problem was Yugoslavia. Do a little research and see how well that worked out for Slavs. Peace, Out.
7B WIRE - A local candidate was detained and arrested last week on charges of possession of cocaine, sexual exploitation of a minor, and illegally parking in a fire zone. Police officials reported that they approached a vehicle with two suspicious occupants outside of the Walmart in Ponderay. Upon reaching the vehicle, they discovered a middle school-aged girl on her hands and knees, with her dress hiked up, and an older man with a powdery substance on his nose and upper lip, who was staring at a baked dessert and was heard to be saying “cocaine pie”.
Sensing that this might be a Russian / Ukranian plot to influence the Northern Idaho way of life and undermine our upcoming elections, officers drew their weapons and detained the vehicle’s occupants. After checking ID’s it was discovered that the male was in fact a candidate for public office. Assuming that their fears of foreign election collusion were correct, officers promptly tased the male suspect, and groped the assumed teenage prostitute while helping her out of the car.
The suspects were taken to a law enforcement rendition facility, where detectives determined that the officers’ initial report of a political candidate snorting cocaine off of an underaged hooker’s ass were false. It was discovered that the underaged girl had gotten a splinter on the back of her leg from the plywood bench seat in the man’s farm truck. The man had run into Walmart to get tweezers and antiseptic to remove the splinter. While in the Walmart, the man had also purchased a dozen powdered donuts and a marionberry pie, and had eaten all of the donuts while removing the splinter, thus getting some of the powder on his face. It was further determined that the young girl was also the man’s granddaughter, and that the man was making a joke about Marion Barry.
The two arrestee’s were promptly released, after signing forms stating that they were treated fairly by officers and that no harm was done to them. Police have agreed to not release the names of the arrestees, so as to not unduly affect the upcoming election, or be associated with the Russians and Iranians. The Bonner County Elections Board is still actively monitoring the Chinese for any signs of election tampering, and has petitioned Franz bakery to make their donut powder less clingy to human noses to avoid future misunderstandings, and to change the name of their pie.

This is the seventh article in an eight part series that is intended to help our readership understand and engage in modern logic and debate techniques
Still relying on logic and reason to make your points, enhance your debates, and for letters to the editor? The Moose droppings would like to introduce you to Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals. Rules seven to nine are:
* RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
If you are a liberal who can’t stand Trump, and cannot possibly fathom why anyone would ever vote for him, let me fill you in. It’s not that we love Donald Trump so much. It’s that we can’t stand you. And we will do whatever it takes — even if that means electing a rude, obnoxious, unpredictable, narcissist (your words not ours) to the office of President of the United States — because the thing we find more dangerous to this nation than Donald Trump is YOU.
How is that possible you might ask? Well, you have done everything in your power to destroy our country. From tearing down the police, to tearing down our history, to tearing down our borders. From systematically destroying our schools and brainwashing our kids into believing socialism is the answer to anything (despite being an unmitigated failure everywhere), while demonizing religion and faith, and glorifying abortion, violence, and thug culture.
From calling us racists every time we expect everyone of any skin color to follow our laws equally to gaslighting us about 52 genders, polyamory, grown men in dresses sharing public locker rooms with little girls, and normalizing the sexualization of young children. You simultaneously ridicule us for having the audacity to wish someone a “Merry Christmas” or hang a flag on the 4th of July, stand for the national anthem, or (horror of horrors) don a MAGA hat in public. So much for your “tolerance.” (See why we think you are just hypocrites??)
We’re also not interested in the fact that you think you can unilaterally decide that 250 years of the right-to-bear-arms against a tyrannical or ineffective government should be abolished because you can’t get the violence in the cities you manage under control. That free-speech should be tossed out the window, and that those who disagree with your opinions are fair game for public harassment or doxing. That spoiled children with nose-rings and tats who still live off their parent’s dime should be allowed to destroy cities and people's livelihoods without repercussions. That chaos, and lawlessness, and disrespect for authority should be the norm. This is your agenda. And you wonder why we find you more dangerous than Donald Trump?
Your narrative is a constant drone of oppressor/oppressed race-baiting intended to divide the country in as many ways as you possibly can. You love to sell “victim-hood” to people of color every chance you get because it’s such an easy sell, compared to actually teaching people to stand on their own two feet and take personal responsibility for their own lives and their own communities and their own futures. But you won’t do that, you will never do that, because then you will lose control over people of color. They might actually start thinking for themselves, God forbid!
This is why we will vote for Donald Trump. Not because he is the most charming character on the block. Not because he is the most polite politician to have ever graced the oval office. Not because he is the most palatable choice, or because we love his moral character or because the man never lies, but because we are sick to death of you and all of the destructive crap you are doing to this once beautiful and relatively safe country. Your ineffective and completely dysfunctional liberal “leadership”(?) has literally destroyed our most beautiful cities, our public education system, and done it’s damndest to rip faith out of people’s lives.
However bad Donald Trump may be, and he is far from perfect, every day we look at you and feel that no matter what Donald Trump says or does there is no possible way he could be any worse for our country than you people are. We are sick to death of your stupid, destructive, ignorant, and intolerant behavior and beliefs — parading as “wokeness.” We are beyond sick of your hypocrisy and B.S.
We are fed up with your disrespectful divisiveness and constant unrelenting harping and whining and complaining (while you live in the most privileged nation in the world), while making literally zero contributions of anything positive to our society. Your entire focus is on ripping things down, never ever building anything up. Think about that as there is something fundamentally very wrong in the psychology of people who choose destruction as their primary modus operandi.
When Donald J Trump is reelected, don’t blame us, look in the mirror and blame yourselves. Because you are the ones that are responsible for the rise of Donald Trump. You are the ones who have created this "monster" that you so despise, by your very actions. By your refusal to respect your fellow Americans, and the things that are important to us.
You have made fun of the “fly-over states,” the people who “cling to their guns and religion,” the middle class factory workers and coal miners and underprivileged rural populations that you dismissively call “yahoos” and “deplorables.” You have mocked our faith and our religion. You have mocked our values and our patriotism. You have trampled our flag and insulted our veterans and treated our first responders with contempt and hatred.
You have made environmentalism your religion, while trashing every city you have taken responsibility for. You scream from the rooftops about “global warming” and a “green new deal” while allowing tens of thousands of homeless people to cover your streets in literal sh!t and garbage and needles and plastic waste without doing a single thing to help them or solve the environmental crisis your failed social policies are creating. But we’re supposed to put YOU in charge of the environment while gutting our entire economy to institute this plan when you can’t even clean up a single city?
You complain — endlessly — yet have failed to solve a single social problem anywhere. In fact, all you have done is create more of them. We’ve had enough. We are tired of quietly sitting by and being the “silent” majority. So don’t be surprised when the day comes when we finally respond. And trust me it’s coming, sooner than you might think. And also trust me when I say it won’t be pretty. Get ready.
When Donald Trump is reelected it will be because you and your “comrades” have chosen to trash the police, harass law-abiding citizens, and go on rampages destroying public property that we have all paid for and you have zero respect for. When Donald Trump is reelected it will be because we are sick of your complete and utter nonsense and destruction. How does it feel to know that half of this country finds you FAR more despicable than Donald J. Trump, the man you consider to be the anti-Christ? Let that sink in.
We consider you to be more despicable, more dangerous, more stupid, and more narcissistic than Donald Trump. Maybe allow yourself a few seconds of self-reflection to let that sink in. This election isn’t about Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden. This is about Donald Trump vs YOU.
So if on the morning of November 4 (or more likely January 19, by the time the Supreme Court will weigh in on the mail-in ballot fiasco that we are headed towards), and Donald J. Trump is reelected? The only people you have to blame is the left-wing, main-stream media drones and yourselves. You did this. Yep you.
WESTMOND, ID - Area resident Angus Mooney has had enough with being duped on internet dating sites, and is now fighting back. Mr. Mooney has filed a lawsuit against the websites Plethora of Dead Fish and Meet an Inmate, as well as his last three dates by name. The names of these women have been withheld from print, pending their service of legal papers.
Mr. Mooney claims that his last three dates were completely unrecognizable, as compared to their online profile pictures. Specific to the lawsuit, date number one is accused of using a picture from 1975 that did not properly depict her aging process or triple weight gain. Date number two’s pictures did not accurately depict her full body prison tattoos. Date number three’s pictures did not accurately depict her amputated legs nor her constant drooling.
Plethora of Dead Fish and Meet an Inmate both refused to comment on the specifics of the lawsuit, citing ongoing legal processes and whatnot. However, an anonymous source from Meet an Inmate who is familiar with the case said that “We can hardly be responsible for the content that our users upload nor the information that they provide. But who in their right mind would trust a felon? We won’t even hire them, even though we are not above taking their money.”
Mr. Mooney is suing for damages including loss of time due to false advertising claims, medical injuries from the need for eye bleach treatments, and the cost of three dinners.
SANDPOINT, ID - With construction completed on turfing Memorial Field after the city accepted the sole design / single bid option presented to it at last year’s Astro Turf Corp junket in Rio de Janeiro, the city is now contemplating completely redoing City Beach in astro turf. Sources within the planning committee have confirmed that the Astro Turf Corporation has been actively lobbying the committee, and that the committee is interested in pursuing the new proposal at this year’s junket in Tahiti.
Astro Turf Corp will be flying the committee members to the InterContinental Resort, where it will again present the committee with a single option for turfing City Beach. Although unconfirmed, it is rumored that this proposal will include replacing all the grass areas, plus the sand and parking asphalt with new astro turf. The astro turf for the sandy areas will of course be some sort of sand color, and the parking areas will be black with the parking stripes in reflective white.
A representative from Astro Turf Corp was overheard to say that replacing the grass with turf might help with the geese, replacing all the sand would help with itchy swimsuits and sand in the shoes, and replacing the asphalt would avoid the need to repaint new parking stripes. One committee member also stressed that being flown first class and staying all expenses paid in a $700 dollar a night resort would in no way influence the committee’s decision choice on the single option to be presented to it.
NASHVILLE, TN - In a surprise announcement from the national elections board, the next presidential debate will feature an air guitar winner take all contest and tribute to recently deceased guitar legend Edward Van Halen. Both the Democratic and Republican National Party Chairs have confirmed that their respective candidates are willing to join the nation for a moment of silence to reflect upon Mr. Van Halen’s contributions to our collective culture, the bad-assness of his guitar riffs, and the opportunity to cut heads on stage.
As the nation’s flags continue to fly at half mast to symbolize Mr. Van Halen’s greatness and our country’s sorrow, both presidential candidates have acknowledged that the petty problems of our nation pale in comparison to the loss that we have all suffered. Both candidates have therefore agreed to have an air guitar contest to decide the election, Thunderdome style. The election will thus be held in the manner of American Idol, with voters texting or emailing their votes in, so as to avoid any claims of mail-in voter fraud. For those without internet or texting, libraries across the country will remain open all night to serve as voting precincts, along with Dennys, IHOPs and Waffle Houses. Votes will still be tabulated by state, with the electoral college and not the popular vote deciding the outcome.
Both candidates have announced their three song playlist that they will air guitar. President Trump has stated via a Tweet that he will be performing Eruption/You Really Got Me, Hot For Teacher and Pound Cake. Sources close to the President have indicated that he will be using a replica of Van Halen’s Frankenstrat and will be dressed in 1980s era ass-less spandex.
Mr. Biden, in a press conference only attended by CNN, MSNBC and NPR, stated that he will be airing I Can’t Drive, Fire In The Ho, and one other song that he really liked when he heard it on Lawrence Welk. Mr. Biden’s camp has indicated that he will be using a replica of Don Ho’s ukulele, because research has shown that the kids think it is really boss. Mr. Biden will be wearing a Hawaiian style shirt and coordinating face mask. Tune in October 22nd for the Thunderdome Presidential Air Guitar Tribute and Election.
SAGLE, ID - A Bonner County golden retriever, simply known as Buddy, continues to enjoy his time in the limelight. For over twelve years, Buddy has regaled adoring fans with his looks and personality, as well as his ability to find food and attention from any and all humans that he comes in contact with. No known retrieving skills have ever been demonstrated, and Buddy completely eschews tennis balls so that he can devote more time to getting some love.
Bud’s main feeder and belly rubber stated “Buddy can’t get enough of his fan base. Everytime we go for a walk or down to the lake for a swim, kids and adults rush up to pet him, and cameras just seem to appear from thin air. Buddy knows that with celebrity comes a responsibility to his fan base, and Buddy always makes time to get a head pat, get or give a hug, pose for a picture, or accept a treat.”
The Alpo Dispenser went on to say “Dinner can be the hardest part of the day for me. Buddy is constantly fighting to keep his supermodel canine figure in top form, but it is hard to gauge how much to feed him as I have a hard time keeping track of all the treats that he gets. Bud absolutely refuses to disappoint any of his fans by not accepting their food. He’s just so friendly, and he knows that everybody loves him, so he wants to give back by being available at all times.”
This is the sixth article in an eight part series that is intended to help our readership understand and engage in modern logic and debate techniques
Still relying on logic and reason to make your points, enhance your debates, and for letters to the editor? The Moose droppings would like to introduce you to Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals. Rules four to six are:
* RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
* RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different than any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
A recent youtube video proclaimed that having two parents or a male role model was an example of white privilege. The Moose Droppings would like to know, when did the standard for raising children move? The last time we checked, it took a male and a female to create a baby. Along with the right to fornicate, has always come the responsibility to raise the result of said fornication.
Thousands of years of tradition and public policy have maintained that having two parents was moral and necessary. One to kill the meat, one to make the cave. At some point in time, both parties discovered that they could share roles, and might even be able to reverse them on occasion. But regardless, child rearing, like child creation, was a two parent proposition.
Webster’s defines privilege as a right or immunity granted as a peculiar benefit, advantage, or favor. So when did having two parents become a granted right? Words mean things, unless you want to change the definition of the word. You know, to suit a particular need or agenda? Having two parents is not a specially granted right, it is basic biology. The village didn’t make the kid, nor are they responsible for raising it.
If a segment of society suffers from a rampant lack of taking responsibility for their actions, then the Moose Droppings would argue that the rest of the planet should not be described as having privilege. Rather, that group of children who suffer from a lack of parental responsibility should be described as being screwed over, and that the parents of those children should be properly motivated to get their collective heads out of their asses.
Note that this argument never mentioned race, religion, education or socio-economic background. There are enough dipshits of all colors on the planet that can be described as screwing over their children. The Moose Droppings would like to admonish any and all Chinks, Cholos, Coons and Crackers to do the right thing, and for everyone else to stop making excuses for them and changing the dictionary to make them feel better about being a dipshit. Let’s keep the standard where it should be, instead of lowering it to make the lowest common denominator feel like they won a participation prize. For once, it actually is ‘for the children’.

SAN DIEGO, CA - A Sandpoint area man was killed while on vacation in San Diego. San Diego Police contacted the Moose Droppings in the hopes that we could assist with the Identification of the man. A badly torn and blood soaked wallet was found on the body, with the photo and name defaced beyond recognition, but parts of the address still intact.
According to witnesses the man had been overheard saying that he wanted to go to a restaurant across the street, and before anyone could react he just stepped out into traffic without looking both ways. As it was rush hour and the man had stepped into the road thirty feet in front of a vehicle, the fully loaded dump truck was unable to stop in time from its fifty mile per hour pace. The driver of the dump truck was not speeding at the time of the tragedy.
Police questioned the Moose Droppings as to whether this kind of behavior was normal in the Sandpoint area. The Moose Droppings described the city’s concept of a walking town, and the local citizenry’s habits of stepping in front of motorhomes and logging trucks while expecting drivers to always stop for them. The officer responded with “You have got to be kidding me!” The victims name is being withheld pending notification of relatives.
“Sheriff Wheeler, first of all, is bad leader as he does not embrace government’s total control of economy and its protection of its citizens during the Corona virus. Instead, Sheriff Wheeler foolishly believes that citizens of Bonner county can assess own personal risks to the virus, and act accordingly.
“Sheriff Wheeler also believes in arresting and jailing people for harmless offenses, like recreational drugs such as meth, fentanyl, or PCP. This simply leads to jail overcrowding, and keeping people off these drugs lead to personal responsibility and less central governmental control. Citizens need to be kept medicated, so they do not reflect upon their problems or question state authority.
“Finally, the DSA’s plan for Bonner county and America stresses that DSA can allocate resources and care for all citizen’s need. The leaders of DSA will paternally administer to all of your needs, and eliminate those foolish things that you all consider rights. We’ve got covered, so vote for Lenin this November.”

7B WIRE - The High Council and the Supreme Leader's office have released a joint statement describing the activities and purpose of their 2018 purchasing junket to Grand Cayman in the Carribean. The statement reads as follows:
"The Supreme Leader and the High Council recently undertook a fact finding mission to Grand Cayman in order to better research and understand the city’s waste disposal needs. In its continual effort to foster green technologies, encourage recycling efforts and reduce landfill tonnage, the Supreme Leader and High Council wanted to see first hand how that small island nation deals with its rubbish problems.
"The trip was of zero cost to the taxpayers, as the trip was fully funded by outside corporate sources. Rest assured that these sources did not influence the High Council’s decision in any way to purchase the city’s new $4,000 garbage cans. Indeed, the High Council signed the purchase agreement and subsequent maintenance contracts at the Hyatt Grand Cayman only after a week-long stay of due diligence and research. The Big Belly garbage cans were found to be the most effective option for replacing the city’s already paid-for fleet of existing garbage cans."
When questioned about the other options which the council investigated, a spokesman said that many, many other options were researched and considered. He went on to say that the council members were finally swayed at the last evening’s seaside cocktail mixer, when it was noted that the 13 gallon garbage can by the bar was overflowing with plastic Mai Tai cups, but the on-site BigBelly garbage can still had a flashing green light, which seemed to indicate that it was happy.
The Council’s spokesman went on to further state that all 156 of the city’s old $1200 garbage cans were disposed of last year. The city at first planned to crush them inside of the new $4,000 BigBelly cans, but was concerned that the BigBelly cans might break during the process. Therefore, the High Council voted to send all of the old cans to the landfill, as they held no value for resale.

7B Wire - After watching the first presidential debate, the leadership of both the Bonner County Democrats and Republicans have decided to shake things up locally. Concerned with the lack of views considering the importance of the election, the county caucuses have agreed to a new Thunderdome Debate format to garner more local attention and interest in the county’s elections.
Both county caucuses agreed that the Trump / Biden debate could have been more entertaining and informative. While both Trump and Biden made efforts to talk over each other as well as the moderator, both could have done more to be rude and obnoxious. County election leaders felt that if Trump and Biden had truly been allowed to take their gloves off, then viewership would have greatly increased resulting in a more informed electorate.
The Thunderdome Debate format will consist of the candidates being locked into a ‘combat cage’, that will be lined with tools of mayhem in keeping with the county’s traditions. Chainsaws will be used to represent area logging, and flamethrowers to symbolize area wildland firefighters making back burns. Scythes will be present harkening back to old hay harvest methods, and various sledgehammers will remind area residents of our railroading past.
At each debate, two candidates will enter Thunderdome and be asked a question pertinent to the office that they are seeking. The candidates will then have five minutes to find and use a tool of mayhem to make their points against each other. The winning candidate will greatly narrow down the voter’s options, and the losing candidate will get a free trip to the morgue. Besides having half of their elector pool eliminated simplifying voting options, voters will also have the benefit of making official bets on the candidate’s survivability on the issues thirty minutes before each debate.
To ensure fairness two Thunderdome debates will be held, each at a different location of each party's choosing. The Democrats have decided to host their Thunderdome by the rainbow dumpsters at Matchwood Brewing on October 10th. The Republicans have chosen Laughing Dog brewery as the site of their Thunderdome Debate on October 24th, due in part to its proximity to Waste Management for easier cleanup of the carcasses. Both debates will begin at 7PM. Beer Gardens open at 10AM both days.
May you be blessed with family and friends, the people who love you and those that you love. All the rest is bullshit.
