Montanans deserve a fair & impartial judiciary By Cory Swanson It's time to let you in on a little secret about America's judicial system: we're doing it wrong. We read every day in the news about a conflict in Montana or somewhere around the country where contentious political issues are being settled in the courtroom. It's become such a regular occurrence that a cottage industry has developed to interpret the legal rulings and their implications for all of us. The newness and novelty of judicial activism has long ago worn off and now it's...
The Montana Family Foundation expresses deep disappointment and concern following Judge Krueger's recent ruling to enjoin three critical bills to defend unborn babies: HB 136, HB 171, and HB 140 from the 2021 session. This ruling, issued by Judge Krueger from Butte, undermines the sanctity of life and disregards the values held dear by the people of Montana. HB 136 aimed to protect pain-capable babies by banning abortions after 20 weeks gestation, HB 171 sought to prevent the distribution of abortion drugs via mail, and HB 140 aimed to ensure...

Their Leftist politics go right around our rule of law, The Constitution. The Democrat Socialist Party gets help from the Neocon Globalists. One major player in the destruction of the United States is George Soros....
Certainty Part IV Believers Belong To God I remember a time not long ago when I felt safer in the world I live in than I do now. Many people have long believed this is one of the best places in the world. We can have some room to move around in, not be totally overrun by other people, experience freedom, and feel very safe. We are close to a city that offers a place to shop, get medical care, and find various things to do. I never used to think twice about being safe going to Billings. That's changed; I do think about that in several ways, one...
By: Senator Jason Ellsworth Of the many education reforms passed by the 2023 Legislature, one has been generating a lot of news lately, particularly in the Bozeman area.

Those students included 35 in K-5, 25 middle-schoolers, and 33 high-schoolers. What allowed those students to change their school? House Bill 203, a bipartisan piece of legislation...
