  • Twitter and Facebook Should Not Rig the 2020 Presidential Election

    Harold Pease PhD|Oct 28, 2020

    Big tech outlets Twitter and Facebook are presently “actively interfering in this election in a way that has no precedent in the history of our country.” So said Senator Ted Cruz of the Senate Judiciary Committee, October 15 after thousands of incriminating documents were released by the New York Post the previous day showing Joe Bidden knew a great deal about the corruption of his son Hunter with Burisma in the Ukraine , despite his insistence that he didn’t. This looks to be the biggest case for influence peddling for money and elect...

    STOP BLAMING PRESIDENT TRUMP, BLAME CHINA for virus that is being played a political card by Leftist. Also, ask yourself, WHY was B HUSSEIN Obama and Dr.Strangelove Fauci in China in 2015. They also gave the Chinese 3.7 million American tax dollars for Wuhan lab where virus was manufactured. Sounds like a Leftist plot to me. Nancy Kemler, Roundup...

  • Have the Billionaires Bought Your Vote Too?

    Harold Pease PhD|Oct 21, 2020

    “The fundamental problem in this country is the power that the billionaire class has over the economic and political life of this country….One person, one vote, not billionaires buying elections,” Bernie Sanders told fellow contestants in the Democratic Presidential debates. Elizabeth Warren agreed, “I don’t think any billionaire ought to be able to buy an election. We’ve got billionaires who think they can just buy an election; case in point, Michael Bloomberg.” They recognized the harm to America when they themselves faced the billionaires....

  • THE FINANCIAL FOCUS

    Oct 21, 2020

    By Michael Vondra Lessons from Experienced Investors Those who have lived a long time have done a lot, seen a lot – and can teach us a lot. And that’s certainly true when it comes to investing. Consider some of the lessons you might learn from experienced investors: • Regulate your emotions. In the investment world, there’s always something coming at us that could sound scary: political flashpoints, economic news, and even those once-in-a-generation occurrences, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. But older people may take these events in stride;...

  • COVID-19: Two Things About "The Science"

    Thomas L Knapp|Oct 21, 2020

    On October 4, three scientists published "The Great Barrington Declaration," a statement named for the Massachusetts town in which they met. Infectious disease epidemiologist Sunetra Gupta of the University of Oxford, professor of medicine Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, and professor of medicine Martin Kulldorff of Harvard Medical School call for a "focused protection" approach to overcoming COVID-19. Versus the "lockdown/shutdown" efforts we've suffered through for the last seven months, they support letting the young and healthy...

  • Publishers Election Picks

    Oct 21, 2020

    With the election less than two weeks away, I wanted to share my picks and why. First, I will pick the easy one, Barb Halverson, for Clerk of District Court, no opponent an easy win. The next is Laurie McKinnon for Montana State Supreme Court. Laurie has served admirably for the last eight years on the court. Her opinions as justice stem from the U.S. Constitution and the Constitution of the State of Montana. Laurie was an outstanding candidate in 2012 and will continue to be a bright light on the State Supreme Court's rather dim makeup. My...

    A Key Component A few years back, I was trying to understand what made people think so differently. This primarily had to do with "liberalism vs. "conservativism." Here we are moving toward an election that, for the time being, will decide whether or not we will be governed by the more liberal or, the more conservative. There is a difference. It is also true in the religious realm. There are some conservative and some liberal in their approach to the things of God. They are worlds apart in essential aspects of their belief system. By...

    Dear Editor, I’m writing this letter in support of Nicole Borner for re-election to the position of county commissioner. I know Nicole as a professional and friend. She has a love for this county and the City of Roundup, and it shows with her dedication and work on various projects. Nicole is super approachable and is willing to go the extra mile for all of us. She can explain the goings on and how they will affect us. I think the most admirable quality that she has is her desire to learn and implement what she has learned. Nicole has taken g...

    Are you seeing how the Progressive Socialist have gotten away with crimes against President Trump and his supporters? AG William Barr where are you? The evidence is on the table proving what Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, McCabe, Comey and Mueller did or tried to, against Trump using a COUP to remove him from office ! Hillary Clinton destroyed over 33,000 e-mails and got away with this so far. All these people should be wearing a orange prison jumpsuit by now for years to come. Ask yourself, "Do you really want these kind of people in power in...

    Dear Editor: October is National Long-Term Care Residents’ Rights Month, a time to acknowledge the contributions and sacrifices many long-term care (LTC) residents have made to better our communities and our nation. It’s a time to call attention to the rights of residents in long-term care facilities. The theme for Residents' Rights Month 2020 is - “Connections Matter”– to emphasize connections – to family, to friends, and to the community – as an essential component of good health and quality of life for residents. The months of restrictions...

  • Statement From Nicole Borner

    Oct 7, 2020

    I learned last Wednesday my opponent opted to back out of the debate scheduled for last Friday night, claiming a conspiracy existed that would somehow make the debate unfair. I am disheartened by this attack upon the credibility of the citizens who volunteered their time to help organize the event. Despite deliberate lies, innuendos and attacks on my character and integrity, I have refused to engage in the petty politics and character assassination that has been regularly implemented by my opponent’s camp. Instead, I have done what you e...

    Dear Robert Pancratz, I was disappointed that you chose to forfeit the commissioner debate. I had been looking forward to hearing you, and I was open to voting for you in the coming election. I hoped you might be a good addition to the commissioner panel. Cancelling on the debate tells me more about you than perhaps I would have learned from you in person at the debate. How can we expect you to represent us if you can be so easily swayed to step out of a debate? Now more than ever, we need a commissioner who will stand up to scrutiny. We need...

  • Pancratz a NO SHOW for Debate!

    Dave Ponte|Oct 7, 2020

    The debate scheduled for October 2nd had to be canceled due to the lack of participation by Robert Pancratz. I received the following email from Robert Pancratz. "After careful consideration and counsel from individuals whose judgment I respect, unfortunately I must decline participating in the upcoming debate. I believe the debate was set up with the best of intentions, and I have no reason to question the integrity of the committee members preparing the questions. However, I still have concerns that the event may not be structured to be fair...

    Citizens of Musselshell County As many of you know- there was supposed to be a County Commissioner candidate debate last Friday. Mr Pancratz took advise from someone and backed out, so the debate was cancelled. I was looking forward to hearing both Mr Pancratz and Ms Borner speak and debate. I did read Mr Pancratz’s article on the front page of the RRT. Since I don’t know him otherwise- I have not formed any opinion- good or bad about him. I can say, however, if he wins the election- the list of community concerns he mentioned in the beg...

    I am rerunning Joyce Kaplan’s final column from July 22, 2020. It especially speaks to her heart for the Lord and her relationship with Christ our Savior. Dave 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 nai...

The Progressive Liberal Democrats can only offer a man with Alzheimers with a criminal Deep State past as a Presidential nominee, and a proven adultress and anchor baby, Kamala Harris as Democrat VP. Yes anchor baby. Her parents were foreign exchange students their student visas had run out at the time of her birth in...

    Dear Musselshell County partners, I wanted to update you with the census results in Montana as well as Musselshell County. Short answer—it’s not going great. For numbers specific to Musselshell County, the only information we have for certain is that the percentage of households that have been counted by the bureau is 66.66%. When you add in state-wide and regional estimates from the census bureau telling us how many households have been ‘enumerated’ (ie. Canvassed by a census bureau door knocker), our best guess is that there are ROUGHLY...

    Here in Montana we are granted the right to vote on ballot initiatives once they clear a number of hurdles, including having the related petition garner enough qualifying signatures. Not achieved, however, is the ability to hold public hearings on the proposed issue – such as is accomplished during legislative debate, fiscal review and the amendment process. On November 3rd, we will be voting on CI-118 which would legalize marijuana here in Montana. Aside from what the proponents and opponents argue in the press about public health and s...

    Is My Faith Relevant to My Voting? column, which addressed the number one criteria for me to vote for someone. It is a question I will ask or seek to find out from a candidate. The question is, "What do you believe about a baby's rights in a mother's womb?" The answer to that tells me a lot about the candidate and particularly their view of God. This brings up a question that some might ask. "Is it right to base my vote on just my spiritual beliefs?" Shouldn't there be more to it than just this aspect of life? I want to address that question...

    Progressive Liberals are gas lighting us again on climate change. The fires in states like Califrnia and Oregon and Washington, were started by PAID professional arson maniacs, like Antifa and BLM. If climate change does exist, and I have heard this BS in different forms for decades, why doesn't either of our neighbors like Canada and Mexico see random fires? Now krazee Joe Biden who forgets what country he lives in, tells us a line of political garbage, that if Trump gets re-elected we will see more fires and climate change in country. Hahaha...

    Ryan K. Zinke, former Navy SEAL Commander, US Congressman, and 52nd United States Secretary of Interior America is under siege. We are threatened by an enemy that is undermining the very foundations of our Constitution and the American values that have created, in the words of Ronald Reagan, the world’s “shining city on a hill.” This war against the heartland is not being waged by our traditional global adversaries or even the jihadist terrorists who have vowed to destroy America and everything in it. This is a battle being fought from withi...

    Fires engulf western states: California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana etc. Read the headlines, 29 fires in California, 35 dead, and at least 90 fires currently in western states. Fox News Jeff Paul, reported Sept. 11, 2020, “California is one of the hardest hit with a record breaking 3 million acres burned and nearly 4000 homes and buildings lost so far…. The fires also taking a toll in Washington state where more than 100 homes are gone… and in Oregon, more than 35 fires are burning with at least five small towns destroyed.” This fi...

Because of your support, the Knights of Columbus Council 2464 and the Community Fire Meal Preparation Team prepared hot meals for the firefighters.

    Dear Editor, First, I wish to thank you for the series of articles on County government. It’s informative to read the spectrum of events, perspectives, and opinions. It seems to me that from the time we moved here, 2002, there frequently has been confusion about what, in most places, is a simple process, county government. A mystery early in our experience, as I recall, was the disappearance of a quarter of a million dollars reserved for a truck of some sort, and no one had a clue about the fate of that fortune; POOF! It’s gone! Wonder whe...
