  • A Journey Beyond My Dreams, A Memoir by Mayor Jones

    Lura Pitman|Jun 1, 2022

    Mayor Jones has written a memoir of her life called "A Journey Beyond My Dreams". She began this writing journey about four years ago, for her family and for her grandchildren to have a reference point. Her hope was for them to realize that she was once a young girl, a young mother, and how she overcame difficult points in her life, as well as the successes that she achieved. "I overcame because of my faith." As she wrote the book, Sandra decided to publish it. As a public figure, it is a...

  • American Idol Winners Caleb Johnson and Laine Hardy at RIDE

    Mike Morgan|Jun 1, 2022

    Two American Idol winners in Roundup town on consecutive night for RIDE’s 17th annual celebration is a pretty big deal. I don’t know if they’ve ever met, but they both understand how hard the music life is and how much of a struggle it is to come out on top of a competition that has millions of viewers glued to their seats during the popular shows airing. Caleb Johnson will be in Roundup on July 1st with his band The Ramblin’ Saints, and he’ll have the crowd on their feet with his soulful r...

  • Publishers Two Bits

    Jun 1, 2022

    I will start with the Ballot Issue, the 'Hospital District Levy.' We as a community need to continue to support our local hospital, and this levy is just a continuation of the current already passed levy. (FOR) Supreme Court Justice #2 James Brown, hands down! The current justice Ingrid Gustafson has proven that she makes laws out of thin air and does not interpret laws passed by the legislature. Time for her to go! Supreme Court Justice #1 Mr. Rice is far superior to his opponent, whose backing is by the 'left' wing of the lawyers guild....

  • Letters to the Editor

    Jun 1, 2022

    Inflation is rampant, an engineered virus is yet making a comeback, our borders are leaking criminals like a sieve into our country, we're 30 trillion in debt, there is no food on the shelves, and our fearless leaders want to pay off every deadbeats debt!! HOW CAN WE STOP THIS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION? Come November, we better take back the House, Senate and if we can, Congress or we are going to lose this country. We are in a recession. There have been 50 recessions in our history. Many fear this recession that is getting worse every day under...

  • Rosendale Says "No" to Reckless Spending

    Jun 1, 2022

    I would like to thank Congressman Matt Rosendale for being brave enough to say "NO!" to the reckless spending bills being proposed by the Democrats in Washington. Thank you for not caving in to the pressure in D.C. and for standing strong for Montanans. We know that more spending causes more problems, and that with the current state of our economy (and fuel, grocery, and energy prices reaching record highs), responsible spending is the only way to get things under control! Congressman Rosendale has made the right decision in voting against...

  • Rosendale Supports Energy Independence

    Jun 1, 2022

    I don't think it is a shock to anyone that high gas prices are affecting us all. When we are forced to spend more at the pump to fuel our vehicles, there is less money in our pockets to spend on all the other things that we need. Biden claims that Putin is to blame for the rise in gas prices, but Montanans know that it is the anti-energy policies of the Biden Administration that are at fault. Joe Biden made it a priority to kill the Keystone pipeline on his very first day in office. However, Rep. Rosendale has been fighting for Montanans and fo...

  • Politics: The Real Meaning of the Word "Prompt"

    Thomas L Knapp|Jun 1, 2022

    "Failed gun legislation is the norm," reads the headline at Axios, "after mass shootings like Buffalo tragedy." Further down in the story, we read that an October 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas "prompted fresh calls from lawmakers on both sides to pass gun control legislation." Also relating to the Buffalo shooting, the Sunbury, Pennsylvania Daily Item reports that it "prompted GOP legislative leaders to call Monday for the reinstatement of New York's death penalty law for murders fueled by racism and hatred." I read a lot of news stories...

  • Rosendale Supports Legislation to Remove the Gray Wolf from the Endangered Species List

    Jun 1, 2022

    Washington, D.C. – Last week, Representative Matt Rosendale joined Representatives Lauren Boebert and Tom Tiffany, along with 18 other republican colleagues, in introducing the "Trust the Science Act." This bill would permanently delist the gray wolf in the lower 48 and ensure that action is not subject to judicial review.

    By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of the diocese of Arlington said he will withhold holy communion to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, making his the fourth diocese to take action over her abortion advocacy.

Cordileone, who informed the House Democratic leader that she should not present herself for the Eucharist until she publicly repudiates her longtime support for abortion rights. “He is her b...
