It’s no secret that there has been an intentional, international push for a culture shift to “clean” energy. Green energy is a noble mission that could be taken one step at a time, helping society adjust and conform to it in a natural and manageable way. Unfortunately, the push is a fast-paced warfare against natural resources, and those who support it, with complete disregard for the communities and cultures they disrupt. Coal, a local target for environmental activists, is still mined within the United States, and locally in Musse...

The word is out, that the Covid Chinese Virus was manufactured in a Wuhan Chinese LAB and was released upon the world three years ago. Xi jingping leader of the Chinese Communist Party lied to the whole world about this incident from a Chinese lab. He even allowed 10,000 Chinese to fly out of China after knowing that this virus had escaped a research lab. Our government was no better at telling us the truth.Instead they forced Americans to wear useless masks, stand 6 feet apart, shut down our country that hurt our economy and insisted that...
Like most endeavors the legislature is short staffed. So bills sometimes do not match the titles, communications are difficult, and the legislative web site is not up to date. Neither we, nor the public, know for sure what is accomplished or pending. Yet, I was surprised when summoned from one committee and told I had to present a bill in another committee; “They are waiting”. I asked which bill I had to present. “Something about Revising Board of Investment Laws ”. Sharp eyed readers remember that four years ago I wrote about Montana investi...
The Chinese spy balloons that have traversed Montana should serve as a glaring wake up call to all Americans about the increasingly aggressive and adversarial stance the Chinese government is taking against our country.

We're in a race against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and it's one we cannot afford to lose. Fortunately, the United States...

"Your generation is connecting to the future." Muratov is founder and editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta,...
HELENA – Scammers are continuing their attempts to obtain personal information from unsuspecting Montanans over the phone by claiming to be law enforcement officials, Attorney General Austin Knudsen warned today.

Attorney General Knudsen also reminded Montanans that law enforcement and court officials will never ask for payment over the phone or payment in the form of p...

HELENA, Mont. – Governor Greg Gianforte today released the following statement after the Biden administration’s Department of the Interior issued a secretarial order that could impede states’ authority to manage bison: “The Biden administration’s decision to act without consulting states and the secretarial order ignore the states’ role in managing wildlife, and undermine the longstanding tradition of state-federal coordination. As Secretary Haaland knows, the State of Montana and other states work closely with local and tribal leaders, as...
