For the past 15 years I have enjoyed articles about the local community. However, lately, I find your editorials pertaining to AMERICAN voters having a different view to yours rather disturbing. I find your comments not only disrespectful and irresponsible and insulting to AMERICAN voters different form your preferred vote. I believe in a two party system to provide the ability where disagreements are decide through discussion and compromise. Last I heard the UNITED STATES OF AMARICA is a DEMOCRATIC system. Not beholding to any one party....
Many oldsters still cling to the belief, that voting Democrat means the so-called little man gets a break. No not any more, the party has changed. The stock market is controlled by rich elite socialists. Socialist is just another word for Democrat. After January 20, 2021, the imbelicilic relic, Joe Biden gets into the oval office. His wealth was acquired by dirty political deals, his bank account will not change, but yours will. 2020 we saw a devastating national shut down, our economy is still crumbling.

In times when sanctuaries are declared so as to prevent laws’ being enforced, it’s refreshing that Musselshell County will consider a sanctuary for preserving part of the Law of the Land. Contemporary loonies are babbling about the 25th Amendment, but they tend to be negligent about the First Ten. In fact, perhaps the Commission should expand its concept to protect all those, not just the Second. Larry Stanfel Roundup...
I have to question the motives of those legislators bent on the invalidation of Electors from several states in the confirmation process of the President-elect. Although the ballots in those states in question had been certified, after several counts by the states, as constitutionally-responsible, a good many Senators and Congress folk chose to follow the President’s claim of election deceit and fraud. Complicity between those legislators and President Trump in responsibility for the Capitol insurgency is beyond doubt. I cannot question the sin...
The Roundup Record Tribune published an article in the January 6, 2021 paper. The article was entitled "Resolution of Musselshell County Board of Commissioners." The article stated: "The following resolution will be taken up by the 'new county commission' in the new year. This resolution was prepared by county attorney Kevin Peterson with input from citizens of the county." The foregoing facts as represented to be true are neither true nor accurate. The Musselshell County Board of County Commissioners has not decided upon whether or not it will...
It seems Donald Trump’s enemies have turned on him and his supporters since his address in front of the White House January 6, 2021, with a vehemence unlike anything ever seen in American History. His crowd, perhaps the largest ever gathered at one time, chanting at one point in the address, “We Love You,” “We Love You.” Democrats and RINO Republicans demand two processes simultaneously to get rid of him, although his term expires automatically in less than a week, use of the 25th Amendment, and/or impeachment. Big tech and all news networks,...

(BILLINGS, Mont.) – To satisfy a debt owed to Montana for well over a century, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is taking the final steps needed to convey 5,816.63 acres of land to the State of Montana. Under the Enabling Act of 1889, which admitted Montana into the Union, the state was entitled to receive sections 16 and 36 in each surveyed township. Some of those lands were already settled by homesteaders or set aside for other uses, such as Indian reservations and forest reserves. To fulfill the entitlement, Congress allowed the state t...
Helena, Mont. – The Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) has issued an emergency quarantine order to protect against the introduction and spread of the emerald ash borer (EAB), a destructive wood-boring beetle that has already killed millions of ash trees in North America. The order was motivated by the removal of federal domestic quarantine regulations by the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS). “It is important that we remain vigilant and do everything in our power to make sur...
HELENA- The Montana House of Representatives voted 66-31 today to pass House Bill 102 by Representative Seth Berglee (R-Joliet). House Bill 102 removes state barriers to individuals exercising their constitutional right to carry a firearm for self-defense. It allows individuals who are lawfully allowed to open carry a firearm to carry concealed in the same areas without a permit. Additionally, HB 102 ensures that young adults on our college campuses aren't denied their fundamental right to self-defense. “It is long past due that law-abiding Mon...

Due to the recent severe wind activity around Montana, here are a few tips if you have suffered a property damage loss due to wind: What’s Covered? • Structural & Personal Property Damage – Wind is a basic insured peril and is generally covered under most property/homeowner insurance policies. If your policy does cover wind damage, a deductible will usually apply. Some policies may have a specific deductible for damage caused by wind. Your deductible is the amount you may pay out-of-pocket before your insurance kicks in to help pay for a cover...
The Roundup Panthers traveled to Huntley on Tuesday to challenge the Red Devils. Huntley is as one of the top five teams in the Class B this year but overall the Panthers stood up to the challenge. Huntley has a distinct height advantage as they have two posts that are 6'5" and 6'7" who are very athletic and talented. The game plan was to back in a 2-3 zone and make it very difficult to enter to the posts but be able to cover their shooters. For the evening our plan was fairly effective as the P...
MSU News Service BOZEMAN – While ranchers were allowed to begin rerecording their Montana brands on Jan. 1, Montana State University Extension recommends they wait until reading its updated MontGuide on the topic. “Livestock Brands in Montana: An Important Component of an Estate Plan” can be found at https://store.msuextension.org/publications/FamilyFinancialManagement/MT201805HR.pdf.
