CHANGES The world, and most importantly for us, our society is changing radically. Small changes we don’t seem to mind too much, but the changes now are coming at a fast pace and are scaring many. Because we live in a fallen world (well, you knew it wasn’t perfect didn’t you), changes are bound to happen. If it were a perfect world, no changes could occur or would be necessary. Some of the changes are good, some of them are not. How we deal with them makes all the difference in our lives. David had many changes in his life. Most of them not o...
I was asked a while ago, how long I thought the man-made Wuhan Chinese virus would be with us. And what was my definition of the Democrat party. The Wuhan virus is forever. When we allow ourselves to be released from the Draconian measures that Progressive state Governors have imposed upon us, the human body will build up a natural immunity to disease and we will adapt to living with virus as have many others before this one. The Democrat Party....we have to start in year 1827 when Andrew Jackson became President. In 1832 the draft for party...
As the COVID-19 pandemic ran its deadly course in New York, governor Andrew Cuomo affirmed a state policy forbidding nursing homes to reject suffering from the disease. At least partially as a result (Cuomo himself acknowledged early on that the virus spreads through such facilities "like fire through dry grass"), nearly 6,000 long-term care residents have died so far. Cuomo, of course, denies any personal responsibility in the matter. He blames the homes ("Do you believe a nursing home operator would accept a patient who they knew they couldn'...
During the coronavirus pandemic, our health concerns – for ourselves and our loved ones – have been at the top of our minds. But financial worries have been there, too, both for people whose employment has been affected and for investors anxious about the volatile financial markets. And one aspect of every individual’s total financial picture has become quite clear – the importance of an emergency fund. Even in normal times, it’s a good idea for you to keep three to six months’ worth of living expenses in a liquid, low-risk account. Having an e...
Is it possible Americans are watching the death of free speech and therefore liberty? The defiance of the 1st and 4th Amendments of the Bill of Rights from March-May by Democrat governors has been beyond mind boggling and demonstrates that the Constitution, at least in these states, is on a ventilator. But the growing collusion between Big Tech and government has been even more threatening as the former seems hell-bent on political censorship in favor of the left. At a time when the world is threatened by an unknown virus dissenting speech...
Don’t let the buzz of mosquitoes keep you indoors. Most mosquitoes are a nuisance, causing rashes and itching but some species can transmit diseases that can make you sick. Understanding how they breed and spread disease can help you gain the upper hand in the battle against these pesky insects. Mosquitoes serve as a carrier (vector) in the spread of certain diseases. It starts when they feed on an animal infected with heartworms or an animal or person with West Nile, Saint Louis Encephalitis, Zika or other mosquito-vectored disease. The young...

Helena, Mont. – The impacts to meat packing plants due to COVID-19 has resulted in the sale and movement of animals through non-traditional channels. The Department of Livestock (DOL) is asking Montanans to be aware of the requirements to move swine into the state and to sell pork products. Packing plant closures throughout the country have resulted in a backup of swine going to feeding and slaughter. Many farmers, especially in Midwest states, are seeking new outlets for their animals. This has resulted in an influx of pigs coming to M...

Painting a very, very, very long object requires just that sort of substrate – what artists call the ground on which they paint a picture – and when the object is also comparatively very, very, very narrow and very, very, very low in altitude, then a saw makes an ideal shape. At least so thought the lady that commissioned "The Nohly Bridge." Making an oil painting on metal is not the easiest task, however, and she didn't worry about that, but the bridge painting turned out very, very, very wel...
