    It is no surprise that the Democrat Party was so easily hijacked by the Left Progressives.

They want to erase our Constitution,our electorate vote, continue to foolishly defund police.Allow open borders that let in all people unvetted into our nation that have no ties to it and disrespect our laws and moral compass values.Barack...

    You cannot imagine how giddy I was when I opened the Ma 29, 2024 issue of the Roundup Record Tribune & Winnett Times newspaper and saw Nancy Kemler’s name at the end of letter to the editor before I even read what she wrote. In fact, as I typed this, I still haven’t read what she wrote. It doesn’t matter because she is always spot on! I’ve been a fan of her letters to the editor for years. Keep up the great work, Nancy.

    Public Land Give-Away Senator Daines has introduced legislation to trade Federal coal and surface land to the Hope Family Trust. Though the bill is titled "The Crow Revenue Act" it was not introduced to benefit the Crow Nation.

This mine has benefitted from a multitude of "tax incentives" amounting to millions of dollars lost to both Musselshell and Yellowstone counties. Now...

    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable...

I, as well as many Montanans have seen the numbers – fentanyl confiscation in Montana up by 20,000%, sex trafficking up by 116%, illegal immigration at our northern border up 597% with over 10,000 illegal immigrants crossing per month. These inexpiable numbers indicate two things: The failure of the Biden Administration to protect America from the influx of crime caused by the illegal immigration crisis on our border, and the nee...
