Hello Linda,
As this issue of LCP is distributed we are entering Week Eleven of President Trump’s second term in the Oval Office. The collection of lunatics that just a couple of decades ago used to be the Democrat Party are morphing into a slathering pack of wolves determined to outdo each other with their shrieking and cursing and ranting until they have driven every last person of common sense and rational thought out of that donkey’s ass of a party.
They keep shouting that they “will not be stopped!” They continue to double-down again and again until their message has become one of such lunacy that it boggles the mind. One can imagine our founding fathers turning over in their graves when they see the types of people who now serve in our carefully constructed government. No more the patriotic, hard-working ordinary citizens of the U.S. as in the early years: we now have rude, crude, pandering, low-class hypocrites who somehow manage not only to get into office, but to stay there far beyond their expiration date.
Trump is not the only target for their hatred and craziness, they also have Elon Musk in their sights. Tesla has become symbolic of Musk’s evil, along with every person who drives a Tesla. Someone out there (think George Soros and other globalists) is funding and exhorting these weak-minded people to destroy property and act out their lunacy. With the complicity of main-stream media adding fuel to the fire, these protests will likely continue for the next four years and beyond.
Meanwhile, the rest of us need to hold tightly to this Last Chance that we have been given to turn our country away from the dark and back to the light: back to fiscal responsibility and solvency, back to “all men are created equal”, back to a respected and feared military, back to being respected, appreciated and trusted by our allies, back to a time when our elected leaders were worthy of our votes, and back to a time of recognizing and appreciating the blessing that we have been given to be Americans.

Political violence on the rise across America as the left SWATTs reporters in conservative media ...
The pressure cooker is heating up with several brazen attacks on conservative news reporters in recent weeks, amid calls for Trump admin to 'do something' to stop the aggression from the left.
| | |
Trump’s attorney general is not playing around with whoever is behind the politically motivated attacks on Tesla dealerships and other properties connected to President Trump’s DOGE director Elon Musk.
AG Pam Bondi released a statement last night in which she used the “T” word, terrorism, to describe the attacks.
“The swarm of violent attacks on Tesla property is nothing short of domestic terrorism. The Department of Justice has already charged several perpetrators with that in mind, including in cases that involve charges with five-year mandatory minimum sentences. We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes.”

In these first two plus months of the second Trump Administration I have been struck by the sharp contrasts between 2017 and 2025.
In 2017 President Trump took office as a political novice when it came to understanding how DC works. He seemed naïve in his belief that he could implement a conservative plan on the heels of a blatantly progressive and racist administration. He may have talked about the “swamp” but it appeared that he didn’t fully grasp the magnitude and power behind the corrupt machinations of the U.S. bureaucracy.
Sure in the first two years he had control of the Senate and House in terms of potential support for his agenda, but he didn’t really “control” the Republicans and could not count on their support. And for the entire four years (and beyond) he was fighting against lawfare being waged against him as a person AND as a newly minted politician.
His agenda posed a significant threat to the status quo epitomized by career politicians and career bureaucrats who had been feeding at the government trough for decades and they had no intention of losing their meal tickets.
In addition to those challenges over which he had little control, he also made some mistakes in selecting those people upon whom he would have to depend every single day, such as his cabinet members, his inner circle and his confidants. We have to remember that this is a man who is unused to really depending upon anyone: he is a profoundly independent entrepreneur used to flying by the seat of his pants. The media took great pleasure in reporting every single time there was a change of the most insignificant staff member, starting with ex-Apprentice contestant Omarosa (one of his most stupid selections) to gleefully reporting on the grumblings of Cabinet members.
Turning attention to President Trump’s second term, we see a different man. He has learned a lot and he entered the fray on January 20th like a newly sharpened sword, honed by two assassination attempts and a well-fought battle for both the popular vote and the Electoral College. It should be clear to anyone who was paying attention that he had been planning his first moves for a long time.
He was determined to keep his campaign promises when it came to illegal immigration and the borders, working hard for peace in Ukraine and Gaza, overturning a ton of Biden’s nonsense through Executive Orders, and basically stirring things up in DC causing Chuck Shumer and Maxine Waters et al to become totally apoplectic.
In addition to big changes in all of the Cabinet departments to both their operations and attitudes, and the elimination of the Department of Education, we can look forward to improvements in or elimination of hundreds of agencies that have outlived their usefulness and can help to reduce the massive bureaucratic workforce. And then there’s DOGE!
I think it was on the planning boards for months even before the election and those guys were ready to hit the ground running right after the inauguration. How long have we been watching our national debt rise and rise and rise? Until now NO ONE among our elected legislators have had the spine to cut spending, not Democrats, not Republicans, not Presidents, NO ONE! They all talk a good game and wring their hands and do NOTHING!
Finally we have a President who is willing to take a stand and cut unnecessary spending, empty the country of violent illegal aliens, put an end to men in women’s sports and so many other things that will benefit the American citizens and the damned Dems and the dem-owned mainstream media are calling out all their pet appointed federal judges to stop his progress. Injunctions are flying like feathers in a pillow fight!
But our President is standing strong and determined; he hasn’t pulled back on any of the important fights and I believe we can look forward to many more Promises Made Promises Kept.

Pro se objectors to the CSKT Water Compact are being subjected to the last-ditch efforts of both the Court itself and the Compact Parties (CSKT, the federal government and the State of Montana) to intimidate and wear out the objectors so that they will withdraw their objections. They were quite surprised when nearly 1000 property owners filed objections to the implementation of this patently unfair and ill-conceived theft of water from Montana citizens. At this point about 600 objectors remain in the fight, some represented by attorneys and many pro se (self-represented) objectors.
The Court has been making the process very anti-objector by failing/refusing to make decisions on any of the motions that have been submitted to the Court, whether submitted by objectors or the Compact Parties. Without knowing the Court’s decisions on motions, the objectors are working in the dark as we proceed through critical steps in the process. Faced with this handicap, some objectors are opting out and hope to fight another day when the case is appealed. Appeal seems inevitable no matter what the Court’s decision will be.
There is something that has had an enormous impact upon the passing of the Compact through our Montana legislature and also upon getting the Daines Bill (Montana Water Rights Protection Act – MWRPA) tucked into the multi-thousand page omnibus bill signed by President Trump in December 2020. It is something that probably most American citizens are not aware of: tribal governments are allowed to contribute unlimited funds to political candidates and political organizations with no reporting requirements.
No other US government can financially contribute to the election process; not states, cities, municipalities. This gives tribal governments tremendous leverage with politicians. That leverage was wielded mightily to get the Water Compact through both the state and federal legislatures. Montana citizens, tribal and non-tribal alike, were betrayed by our state and federal governments in favor of tribal governments. CSKT tribal government unashamedly betrayed its tribal members in this unholy mess. I will elaborate more on this in an upcoming article.
If you know any objectors who are slogging through this process, I urge you to give them a call and encourage them to hang in there because the objectors are not just fighting for themselves, they are fighting for YOU. Speaking from my own personal experience to date, I can tell you that it is a tiresome, frustrating, soul-sucking process for which the result appears to be both pre-determined and tragic. We cannot roll over on this because what happens in NW Montana will be precedent for the entire country.
URGENT UPDATE AS OF APRIL 1ST: The virtual ink was barely dry on the above article when notification came from the Water Court of Judge Brown’s Order on Pending Motions Regarding Compact Approval. It should come as no surprise that the ruling boils down to the following three sentences:
For the foregoing reasons, the Compact Parties’ Motion is GRANTED as to the issues of fairness, adequacy, legal conformity, arms-length negotiations, and any other threshold issues necessary to shift the burden of proof to the Objectors. The remainder of the Compact Parties’ Motion is DEFERRED. The motions of Objectors as to all issues of law pertaining to the Compact Parties’ burden of proof is DENIED. The procedures for evidentiary hearings on the Objectors’ burdens of proof have been set in separate orders.
Stay tuned because the fat lady hasn’t sung yet, although the outcome looks pretty grim.

In my twenties, during my trucking days, I remember Federal Mediators coming in to arbitrate Teamsters contracts we were involved in. They seemed like stodgy old men in black suits and thick glasses. Things have changed a lot since then.
The DOGE discovered that the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), established on August 22, 1947, under the Taft-Hartley Act, tasked with preventing and resolving labor-management disputes, had apparently gone off the rails in plain sight. Yet, no one saw the clown show for what it was.
They found the FMCS operated out of a nine-story tower on K Street. That is nine stories for 60 employees. Their planned budget for this year is 55 million dollars.
Of course, that nine-story building costs a lot, but these folks knew how to live right.
The first thing you notice when you enter the building is the hallways lined with oil paintings… of themselves. That's right; the employees had oil paintings of themselves, which they commissioned and bought from the head boss's wife. The offices had a smoking lounge, an in-house gym, and in-office showers.
The Agency's top employee, the one with the artist for a wife, lived rent-free in DC on the taxpayer's dime. They accomplished this by listing him as being on a six-year business trip. We even paid for his meals. Great work if you can get it.
They found employees funneling $ 1,500-a-day contracts to their friends and jobs to friends and relatives. Employees used government credit cards to buy $18,000 of jewelry, pay for personal cable bills, and cover phone plans for their spouses. They even found one employee had expensed a personal storage unit—which, get this, was used to store photo albums of someone's dog, Buster. Another leased a BMW courtesy of We the People. DOGE workers even found that when the FMCS inside auditors sounded the alarm on the outrageous spending, the auditors were fired.
The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service was one of seven closed by DOGE recently. The Agency existed to offer voluntary mediation between unions and management. But many local arbitrators and lawyers do this, too. The real purpose these days is to pay employees to live high on the hog. They found the employees traveling to far-flung destinations not to arbitrate but to conduct "awareness" sessions to promote their services.
One employee, when confronted, said, ""Let me give you the honest truth: A lot of FMCS employees don't do a hell of a lot, including myself. Personally, the reason that I've stayed is that I don'tdon't feel like working that hard, plus the location on K Street is great, plus we all have these oversized offices with windows, plus management doesn'tdoesn't seem to care if we stay out at lunch a long time. Can you blame me?""
That says everything about our society today. Kill the messenger, don't make me go to work, and be accountable.

| | The Poster Below is For an Upcoming Event in Missoula, Montana | | Montana Citizens Action Group | | |
As I reported last month, Montana Citizens Action Group is working hard to get the attention of DOGE to look at the billions of dollars thrown at Native American Tribes by the Department of Interior, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and dozens of federal grant distributors. We sent an explanatory letter and Elaine Willman’s book, American Tribal Tyranny, to about 100 individuals in early March and we received responses from only two people, Governor Youngkin of Virginia and Governor Gordon of Wyoming. Disappointing results to be sure but we aren’t giving up.
We had a stroke of luck in March when I received a call from an acquaintance who lives in Red Lodge asking me to help with an effort to study all federal grants that are currently being administered in Montana. His group has put together an awesome spreadsheet that can be viewed by individual counties and gives a ton of information, including a hyperlink to USASpending.gov for each grant. That link leads to details that are pretty astounding. We will use this information to tabulate grants received by all tribes in Montana. We can then present DOGE with easily verifiable data that should encourage them to look more deeply into all tribal grants in the U.S. (Ed it continues on the next page)
Here is a little piece of data that people who live in northwest Montana, particularly in Lake County, will find interesting:
- Total number of grants currently being administered in Lake County 204
- Total number of grants to CSKT and its agencies 138 or 67.6% of total
- Total dollars awarded for all grants in Lake County $366,031,527
- Total dollars awarded to CSKT and its agencies $325,760,678 or 89% of total
- Total population of Lake County (2024) 33,823
- Total CSKT tribal members in Lake County 5000-5500 or 15.9% of total
I will share more data with you next month as we work through it. If any of our LCP supporters would like to help with this project, please contact me at linda@lastchancepatriots.org

In President Donald Trump is the first American president to apply tough love to our friends – especially those in Europe.
He says they aren’t doing enough to defend themselves – expecting the United States to carry the load. He also said this during his first term.
There’s a YouTube clip of German diplomats laughing at President Trump in 2018 at the United Nations as he warns the Europeans of dependence on Russian energy – while pressuring Europe to up its defenses.
Mr. Trump’s predecessors and successor also tried, but the Europeans mostly ignored them.
After three years of the Ukraine War, the U.S. still does too much of the heavy lifting – and Trump is back and isn’t backing down. There’s talk of moving U.S. forces to other places in Europe – Poland, Hungary – or even withdrawing them.
