  • School Board Election

    Norma Trent|May 1, 2024

    1.When hiring teachers, some administrators consistently prioritize athletic coaching over teaching ability. How would you react if our school superintendent did that? We hire teachers if they can coach, great. I don’t hire someone to coach if perhaps they can teach. We have a hard enough time hiring teachers. 2. Relative to other schools, does our public school have trouble hiring and retaining good teachers? This is an endemic problem throughout the state. People are getting out of the education field, and perhaps the lower salary schedule d...

    Two more new signs sprouted up lately. 1st Security Bank and Big Sky Motel are both sporting new signs. 1st Security updated their reader board sign to a new color model. Per Shawn Dutton, the old sign had been in place for over 20 years, and parts to fix it were impossible to find. At the same time, the sign on the building face was updated to LED lighting and a newer brighter color. LED lights also were installed in the parking lot. A nice upgrade!

  • Ten Things Trump Will Do to Destroy The Deep State

    Harold Pease PhD|May 1, 2024

    The Deep State has existed in U.S. history for at least 135 years. Internationally it expressed its influence most strongly in the William McKinley era when we acquired most of Spains’ colonies ending the Spanish-American War. Then it dominated the Republican Party, but over the next century held great influence in both major political parties. In the 21st Century and today, it controls the Democrat Party and RINO faction of the Republican Party. It is real. Its names have varied over the many years from internationalists, to invisible or s...

  • Third Party Candidates Are America's Fortune-Tellers

    Thomas L Knapp|May 1, 2024

    "I'm going to put the entire U.S. budget on blockchain," presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. says, "so that any American -- every American can look at every budget item in the entire budget anytime they want 24 hours a day." That's a great idea, regardless of whether or not Kennedy is a good candidate or has any chance of getting elected and implementing it. A publicly accessible blockchain -- that is, a distributed ledger protected from alteration by cryptography and viewable by everyone -- would let Americans see exactly how tax...
