Brothers Kurt and Bradley Newman of CN Construction are building the new Liquor store on Main Street. The attractive building and clean job site stand out as you drive by. The brothers said they had hoped to be finished with the project by Christmas time but it has taken more time to get materials. Lumber supply has been short and the prices have been higher than ever. In visiting briefly with the brothers, there is so much building going on at this time that they feel the shortage is from such...

Coup d'é·tat Accomplished "A coup or coup d'état is removing an existing government from power, usually through violent means and by usurpers originating from within a country's institutions. Typically, it is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, the military, or a dictator." With the supreme court's decision of December 11, 2020, to not hear the legal challenge from Texas vs. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia & Wisconsin, we are kaput as a republic. As of this writing, I am officially someone without a co...
The past four years have been a hardship as well as a eye opener as to just how corrupt our government has become. The worse thing to happen in our lifetime, was to see Barack Obama enter the White House. It is his goal and ambition to restructure our country into a communist society. Evidence points to him having orchestrated the Russian Hoax trails, at a cost of $32 million dollars to American tax payers. Now he is tied to the 2020 election fraud. This evil man will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. A NEW United States that he...
By Constitutional Law we have, as a national form of government, a representative republic which represents and protects the individual as well as the whole, with many checks and balances in place to ensure this. Many people falsely believe we have a democracy which is ruled by a majority. Paramount to maintaining a representative republic is the adherence to a legal and constitutional electoral process. If this current fraudulent presidential election is allowed to stand, then we as a nation have neither a representative republic nor a...
By: Matt Rosendale As I wrap up my four-year term as your State Auditor, I’m reminded of a common lesson Montana parents teach our children: leave things better than you found them. On a family camping trip that might mean picking up a forgotten piece of litter and leaving behind some extra firewood for the next folks to use. To me right now, it means leaving this office in great shape for our next Commissioner of Securities and Insurance, Troy Downing. When I was sworn in, Montanans were experiencing massive, double-digit health insurance p...
By Dr. Richard Liebowitz Covid-19 has revealed once again how short our nation is of doctors. Early in the pandemic, several governors called on retired physicians to return to the workforce. Medical schools allowed students to graduate ahead of schedule and begin working and training in hospitals. States loosened licensing restrictions to allow physicians from other locales to practice within their borders. These temporary measures helped battle the pandemic in the short term. But they're not a sustainable way to address the U.S. doctor...
By Andrew Blake - The Washington Times Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr., New Jersey Democrat, asked House leaders Friday to block scores of Republicans from serving in Congress because of their backing a court case that sought to overturn the presidential election. Citing a constitutional amendment barring individuals from being members of Congress if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion,” Mr. Pascrell pointed to 126 House Republicans who recently signed on to support a lawsuit that unsuccessfully sought to overturn the results of the rec...

By Rachel Hergett, MSU News Service BOZEMAN — Well-known sources like sunlight, moving water and wind generate sustainable energy which can be stored for later use. But what if we could turn the air around us into usable fuel when the wind isn’t blowing? Montana State University researcher Michael Mock envisions a future in which homes have solar panels on the roof and a machine in the basement that collects nitrogen from the air and converts it into ammonia. The compound effectively stores energy within its nitrogen-hydrogen bonds, Mock sai...
