MONTANA – Governor Steve Bullock today issued a directive requiring face coverings in certain indoor spaces and for certain organized outdoor activities in counties currently experiencing four or more active cases of COVID-19 to slow the spread of the virus in Montana. Governor Bullock issued the directive to require businesses, government offices and other indoor spaces open to the public to ensure that employees, contractors, volunteers, customers, and other members of the public wear a face mask that covers their mouth and nose while r...

SEEING JESUS I want to continue with last week’s list of ways to see Jesus in the Old Testament. Jesus, in His pre-incarnate form, comes to many humans in the Bible to speak to them. Anytime it says THE Angel of the Lord, that is Jesus. If it says an angel of the Lord and usually gives a name, that is just what it says it is, AN angel sent by God. When Jesus was crucified, He was nailed to the cross at the exact time the morning lamb offering was given at the Temple. And He died at the exact time the evening offering was given (actually a...
Where do we, as a community, go from here? Last week the Musselshell County Republican central committee met to put forth names to replace Adam Carlson as county commissioner. Among the four individuals are Robert Goffena, Sue Olson, Bruce Hoiland, and Mark Turley. The first two are dinosaurs from past commissions. Both Goffena and Olson want to sweep under the rug their mishandling and gross negligence of county finances. Goffena, from my previous dealings with him, has wholly represented himself as dishonorable and as someone that lacks any i...
Once again,we are hearing Dr. Strangelove Fauci give us updates on the political virus,using computer based model information. He did this in March causing the country to shut down. His models were wrong back then and are wrong today. Montana we hear Bozeman and Missoula may mandate face mask wearing. A mandate is not LAW!! So tell these people to get out of your face and stay 6 feet away from you! Enough BS and fear mongering over a virus. The United States has lived through many death threatening disease and we survived. Actually,one...
Americans are naturally wary of electric vehicles (EVs). Salespeople may pitch battery-powered cars as the future, but most drivers see them as an expensive, chancy alternative to petroleum-fueled automobiles. This has been true for more than a century. Electric cars once stood on their own. "In the late 1890s, at the dawn of the automobile era, steam, gasoline, and electric cars all competed to become the dominant automotive technology," wrote David Kirsch in The Electric Vehicle and the Burden of History. "By the early 1900s, the battle was...
Last April the Washington Post published an article “Will Americans wear masks to prevent coronavirus spread?” It listed a variety of reasons why some will not wear masks. Unfortunately it missed the main one—masks help make and keep America afraid. The media, WHO and the CDC have been wrong on virtually every aspect of the virus, from early estimates of American death predictions from 2 to 3 million to even the practicality of wearing a mask. For many wearing masks represents submission to those with little regard for the Bill of Right...
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden says he has an economic plan for America to "Build Back Better." US president Donald Trump complains that Biden "plagiarized" significant elements of that plan from, you guessed it, Donald Trump. Both plans are packed full of bad ideas that have been proposed a thousand times by a thousand other politicians, so the plagiarism claim seems more trollish than truthy. The problem with both economic plans isn't that they're plagiarized, it's that they ARE economic plans. What is an economy? Ask a...

By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times Major media outlets opted to give attacks on Christians and church property zero national coverage over the weekend. NewsBusters analyzed coverage by “270 minutes of NBC, ABC, and CBS nightly news coverage” from Friday through Sunday and found not one giving a national spotlight to five stories involving attacks on Christian property or individuals. “Not one second was spent on these violent anti-Christian attacks,” the media watchdog reported Monday. The carnage included an early morning fire at the San...

BILLINGS – Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks reopened its Voyagers Rest and Gritty Stone fishing access sites to vehicle traffic this week after they were closed June 1 because of flooding. The two sites, along the Yellowstone River near Worden, were flooded by high spring runoff and restricted to walk-in only traffic June 1. FWP crews were able to repair the flood damage, clean up the roads and empty the flooded vault toilets this week. Bundy Bridge fishing access site near Pompeys Pillar remains restricted to all but walk-in traffic because o...
Marshall Swearingen, MSU News Service BOZEMAN — For the next couple weeks, the northern nighttime sky holds a visual treat that's well worth seeing, according to Montana State University researcher Joe Shaw. The comet known as NEOWISE "is pretty spectacular," said Shaw, a sky-viewing enthusiast and professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in MSU's Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering. "It's bigger and brighter than any comet I've seen since the '90s." Resembling a large star with a glowing tail, NEOWISE is a chunk o...

Nicholas Borys, an assistant professor in the Department of Physics in the College of Letters and Science, and frequent collaborator James Schuck, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia University's Engineering S...
HELENA – The Montana Department of Labor & Industry today reminds Montanans that the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program ends the week of July 25, 2020. Established through the passage of the federal CARES Act, the temporary program provided an additional $600 per week to anyone receiving benefits under regular or pandemic-enhanced Unemployment Insurance (UI) programs. The CARES Act specifies a July 31 termination date for FPUC payments. However, since a UI benefit week in Montana runs from Sunday to Saturday, the last f...
MISSOULA, Mont. – As Montanans look ahead to the state’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, a federal program stands ready to help with development and job creation in cities and towns across the state. The New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) Program has already demonstrated a high level of success aiding in economic recovery in underserved areas across the Northern Rockies. The nonprofit community lender MoFi first used the NMTC Program in Montana just over a decade ago, and in that time it has helped dozens of projects worth hun...
No fruit on your tomato plants is likely due to the weather. Tomatoes thrive in warm, sunny conditions, but temperature extremes can prevent otherwise healthy plants from setting fruit. When daytime temperatures rise above 90 degrees and night temperatures remain above 70 degrees, blossom drop, and poor fruit development can occur. Combine this with low humidity and the pollen is not viable. In hot and humid conditions, the pollen is too sticky and doesn’t move from the male to the female part of the flower. Without pollination the flowers w...
To give residents and nonresidents a more equitable opportunity for surplus licenses, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has developed a new system for issuing surplus licenses.
