    Feb 3, 2021

    Calls are being received at local Area Agencies on Aging reporting that a credit card arrived in the mail from “Money Network Financial” saying that they represent the US Treasury and to call to activate the card.

Just because you received your last payment one way does not mean you will receive it the same way now...

  • Pastor's Corner

    Feb 3, 2021

    A Four Letter Word I know that pastors are not supposed to use four-letter words. There is a saying that goes something like this, "It's enough to make a preacher swear." Sometimes it hard not to say things that we ought not to say, but this is not one of those talks. Many four-letter words are good, but this one is good but does not always have a positive response. It is the word "work." Let me just share with you some thoughts that have been shared with me through a study we are using called "The Truth Project." This lesson reminded me that...

  • Publishers Two Bits

    Feb 3, 2021

    Now What? Taking the concept that 'All politics are local.' The best ideas and solutions are to be found locally. I believe Musselshell County is ready for a tea-party type movement. This group should focus itself on the goings-on of state government. Over time this group could coordinate with other chapters around the state as they spring up. Taking an active part and genuinely being a watchdog of the legislature, all statewide offices, and the lower level bureaucracies will ensure that Montana does not suffer the collapse of self-government...

  • Letters to the Editor

    Feb 3, 2021

    "I have little respect for people that rap themselves in the Flag than try to burn this Country down" Spouts Jon Tester on Facebook. I, as an American Patriot in Montana, fully agree, however, I'm still waiting for OUR Democrat Senator to condemn all of the RIOTS and LOOTING done by BLM and ANTIFA groups. I'm still waiting for OUR Democrat Senator to support protecting OUR southern border via building the Fence or enforcing immigration Laws. I'm still waiting for OUR Democrat Senator to speak out about the improprieties that were documented by...

  • Letters to the Editor

    Feb 3, 2021

    Well everything we heard about a Biden administration, is coming true. All negative about Americans. He helps everyone else except us, we just work our jobs and pay taxes so our dollars can be spent in foreign countries. I see a very very deep recession forming now. There is always light of any dark tunnel, in two years we can vote against the Porgressive Communist help House and Congress. This will stop the destruction of Biden! I know I know, the Republican party is not what it use to be either. But it is the lessor of both evils. Biden less...

This week, the House acted on several pieces of legislation to reduce crime, strengthen our elections, and protect life. House Bill 200 will ban “sanctuary cities” in the state of Montana. House...

  • Robinhood: Stealing from the Poor to Give to the Rich

    Thomas L Knapp|Feb 3, 2021

    In late January, a band of merry men (and women) organized via Reddit and other Internet forums to stick it to The Man. They began buying shares of failing retail chain GameStop to drive its stock price up. Their target: Wall Street hedge funds engaged in the tactic of "shorting" GameStop's stock. Their main weapon: Robinhood, an app which allows pretty much anyone to buy stock in small amounts. Its stated mission is to "democratize finance for all." You've probably read 20 explanations of "shorting" by now, so I'll keep it simple: To "short" a...

  • The Risk of Death from COVID for those Under 65 is 1 in 300,000

    Harold Pease PhD|Feb 3, 2021

    So says Dr. Roger Hodkinson a Canadian pathologist and virologist. With all the censorship by big tech and the globalist, socialist press blocking stories with any suggestion that the Wuhan China Virus is not a death sentence for everyone is, and has been, vastly weaponized by one political party. It is obvious to most that globalists wish to benefit further from this mostly a pandemic of fear, perhaps in destroying the 1st Amendment in the Bill of Rights. We share a statement from an influential member of the medical profession . Sometimes...

  • Roundup Boys Basketball

    Rick Griffith|Feb 3, 2021

    The Roundup Panthers hosted the Huntley Project Red Devils Thursday evening in a 4B district game. The Panthers got off to a very solid start as Michael, Jace, and Kaide provided balanced scoring in the first quarter. The defense was very solid as Kylen did a nice job inside to keep the Red Devils at bay. The Panthers tried to keep the senior laden Red Devils off balance with some man and zone defense. The defense was effective and created some missed shots but the Panthers missed some blocking...
