For over two years, the Sellars sisters have had their flower shop on Mainstreet open. The minute you walk in the door of the shop the explosion of art is everywhere to be seen, and a rambunctious cockateel named Rocco, may fly over and land on your head. While offering a space for many local crafters/artists to sell their items, the overwhelming abundance of art is produced by Angie and Jessie. Artists since youth, the girls grew up on Short Cut Road without television and two artistic...

“I live the kinda life most men only dream of. I make my livin’ writin’ songs and singin’ them. Those lines are from a Merle Haggard song called “Footlights”.

Americans have become involved in a very dangerous situation that none of us ever wanted ! Our cock-eyed government doe's for very obscure and selfish reasons. After Russia invaded Ukraine, I got a jolt of hard reality. Is the world on the brink of another nuclear war? The last nuclear war happened after the United States detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese. The cities that were nuked were Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The dates of this nuclear war of Japan are August 6th. and 9th. of the year 1945. Historical photos show what the...
Energy security is national security. It's a mantra we've heard repeated ad nauseam since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th—and as recent events have shown, it couldn't be more true. Just one look at America's current energy portfolio shows the precarious position our country, and our state, is in. Montana, and the United State as a whole, has gone from being a net energy exporter to teetering on the brink of becoming a net importer and an energy crisis that could rival the shortages seen in the 1970's. But we didn't get here o...
So far, the obvious has eluded us. There’s a critical lesson to be learned from the tragic bloodbath that was once the peaceful cities, hillsides and farmlands of Ukraine. TV commentators are bent on characterizing Ukraine as a democratic and free country. Yet if that were true, Russia would have never invaded. To do so would have been military suicide. They would have faced a citizenry that is not only courageous and resolute, but a citizenry that bears arms and knows how to use them. A free nation does not fear its citizens. A free g...
