    The James Webb telescope that NASA launched December 25, 2021 from French Guiana where the European spaceport is located is still doing it’s job of transmitting images from one million miles from Earth at the Lagrange point also known as L2. Still no aliens have been photographed. Just are space aliens? Like you I am bored with the three foot tall silver alien midgets with silver skin and almond shaped black eyes description. I got to thinking that possibly aliens if they wanted to could come to Earth via a computer or a thought. I did some r...

  • CI-126 is a radical experiment, and Montana voters are the guinea pigs

    Oct 9, 2024

    This November, Montana voters are being asked to fundamentally change the structure of our elections through the ballot initiative CI-126. This initiative was brought to Montana by an out-of-state group funded by leftist billionaires and it amounts to a radical social "experiment" being run in what they consider a "cheap" state. We urge Montanans to vote No on CI-126 and reject this radical new plan for how we run our elections. What it does CI-126 would amend the Montana Constitution to provide that the top four finishers in the primary electi...

  • My pledge to deliver a fair and impartial Montana Supreme Court

    Oct 9, 2024

    The words etched in granite on the front of the United States Supreme Court are "EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW." Every person in this great Country has equal rights in our system of justice, no matter how rich or how poor, no matter his or her religion or race. That guarantee of equality and justice applies not only to the federal judicial system, but also to the state judicial system. The difference between our federal and state court system is that in Montana voters get to decide what kind of Montana Supreme Court we have. I'm running for Chief...

  • Jerry Lynch's political bias makes him a bad choice for Montana's Chief Justice

    Oct 9, 2024

    Montanans are fortunate to be able to elect the judges who serve in our Montana courts—from the county level all the way up to our Montana Supreme Court. We get to choose based on who is most qualified and has the best temperament to serve on the bench. The tradeoff for that choice is that we expect the candidates running for judicial office to keep out of the political fray to maintain their objectivity. It's in this context—of political impartiality—that I have been so disappointed in one Supreme Court Candidate, Jerry Lynch, for refusing to...

  • Retired Judge Mohr endorses Judge Dan Wilson for Supreme Court

    Oct 9, 2024

    I was elected seven times and served more than 30 years as a Justice of the Peace in Richland County before my retirement in 2016. During my long career on the bench, I worked with both of the district court judges who are now running for a seat on the Montana Supreme Court. They are Judge Katherine Bidegaray of Sidney and Judge Dan Wilson of Kalispell. I got to know Judge Bidegaray very well in the nearly 15 years we spent working in the same judicial district. I also got to know Judge Dan Wilson very well over the six years that he served as...

  • Support Judge Dan Wilson for the Montana Supreme Court

    Oct 9, 2024

    As a retired Missoula Municipal Court Judge, I write to ask for your support of District Court Judge Dan Wilson, candidate for the Montana Supreme Court. I have known Judge Wilson for many years, and he embodies the qualities we need on the Supreme Court. His background demonstrates a solid foundation to serve the state in that role. He has served as a prosecutor, and defense attorney, a civil attorney, a Justice of the Peace and, for the last eight years, a District Court Judge. He has provided training and mentoring to lower court judges. He...

    It is a common refrain that voters know little to nothing about judicial candidates. It is for this reason that I am sharing my experiences with Judge Dan Wilson, candidate for the Montana Supreme Court. As someone who has previously appeared as an attorney before Judge Wilson, served as a substitute Justice of the Peace in his court (prior to him being elected as District Court Judge), served with him in Rotary, and now works with him as a District Court Judge in the Eleventh Judicial District, I feel uniquely qualified to offer my...

    The Democrat party cannot, seen to enter any election with integrity and respect for an honest election voted by the people for the people's choice. We just witnessed a coup by the progressive radical Democrats with throwing VP Kamala Harris as their candidate. Once again they are breaking political protocal. No one can be chosen as a Presidential candidate without being nominated at the national conventions. In this situation the DNC convention to be held starting August 19 and running until August 22. As I write this the Leftwing media has us...

    With a very divided country, and threats of assassination, poverty and lawlessness within our borders, there has never been a more important election. I would beg people to set aside feelings and truly consider the most important things in your life. I think we can all agree that our family and loved ones are the most valuable thing to us all, no matter what race, religion, or political leaning. We want to have our needs met for ourselves and those we love. This includes the basics, housing, food, health, and security. In light of that,...

    Bipartisan letter from Montana business leaders calling for an end to inaccurate and misleading attacks on Montana Businesses Small businesses are at the heart of all American communities—nowhere more than here in Montana. From agriculture to technology, our business leaders understand far better than professional investors and opinion writers that starting and managing businesses are risky efforts, with the goals of getting to profitability and staffing the needs of the business constantly buffeted by headwinds such as market uncertainty, lack...

    For the last 3 1/2 years Kamala Harris Bisen's VP has covered up Joe Biden's mental ability decline. She has refused to use the 25th.amendment to usher him out of the oval office for the sake of our country. After seeing how Joe Biden did in the first dest Trump/Biden debate Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi rushed to force Joe Biden out of the White House. They did this after almost 20 million Democrat Americans voted for him in the primary. Their vote meant nothing to the power hungry Washington D.C. Democrat elites. But ballot stealing and...

  • CI-128's message: my body has rights, their life does not.

    Sep 25, 2024

    By Roger Koopman The Tester-Sheehy face-off isn’t the only Montana contest in the national spotlight, attracting millions of out-of-state dollars. This year’s ballot features CI-128, the most radical, far-reaching “abortion rights” proposal anywhere in the nation. This precedent-setting monstrosity has become the top priority of the abortion industry and the abortion-infatuated Democrat Party. When last I checked, Big Money cash donations to the CI-128 campaign outpaced opponent giving nearly 700 to 1, and it’s estimated proponents will have sp...

    Is this an amendment for “reproductive rights”? We don’t need one. You want to reproduce a baby? Do it. You don’t want to reproduce a baby? Don’t do it. You have a choice. That’s not what CI-128 is about. Parents. How would you feel about a constitutional amendment that gives your minor children the right to get body piercings or body art or even body work without your permission or even your knowledge? What a violation of parental rights. What if you found a clause in that amendment that made it almost impossible to repeal that amendment?...

  • Health Care Professionals Condemn Tester Ad

    Sep 18, 2024

    As health care providers, hospital leaders, nurses, and support staff who serve or have served rural Montana communities, we condemn the recent television ads and full-page advertisements by Jon Tester's campaign and the absolute lies being told to our fellow neighbors. The ads, some of which use the names and photos of local hospitals, falsely accuse Tim Sheehy of threatening rural hospitals, misleading the patients we serve. Some of us have gotten to know Tim through his and his wife’s philanthropy supporting Montana health care, or have h...

  • My Mission: Better Health Care for Montanans

    Sep 18, 2024

    Tim Sheehy, former Navy SEAL and Republican candidate for U.S. Senate It's clear that Jon Tester is a desperate man doing desperate things, including spreading outright lies, fearmongering, and misleading Montanans—particularly on health care. Here's the hard truth: our health care system is broken. On Jon Tester's watch, costs are going up, and access is going down. Because of Obamacare, Montanans face higher premiums year after year. We've lost access to doctors and health care plans we were told we could keep. More government control has o...

  • Conservative / Moderate Democrats Join MAGA, RINO's Join Democrats

    Harold Pease PhD|Sep 18, 2024

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said it best.”There’s been an inversion now where the Republican Party has become the party of the common man, of working people, of the middle class, and the Democratic Party has become the party of Wall Street, the Military-Industrial Complex, Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Tech, [and] the Big Banking System” (X22 Report-hereafter not cited-, Ep. 3446b, Sept. 9, 2024, 53:00). Add the intelligence community and these are the Deep State. He might have added that the RINO’s (Republican in name only) who often vote with the Democra...

    Bull Mountains Mine is a Good Neighbor. I have been a landowner in the Bull Mountains and ranched for over 40 years. My land is adjacent to the Bull Mountains Mine operated by Signal Peak Energy (SPE). We ranch on deeded and leased land comprising over 13,000+ acres. I want to respond to the misinformation that my ranching neighbors have spread about the impacts the Mine has had on the surface and water resources in the area. We have watched SPE operate from the first day it started mining. I have checked the surface many times and found...

    For four fays I watched the RNC Convention in Milwaukee Wisconsin and was blown away by the display of patriotism.Patriotism that I have not seen so solid in a very very long time. Both the new and old delegates and elected officials shared their wisdom o how our nation must be restored to it's founding and talked of their plans of how to stop the Demolition Democrat party from doing further damage to our Constitution and culture.One of the most impressive moment during the convention was when we got introduced to our new VP.

    Support the Crow Revenue Act and Bull Mtns Act I am writing in support of federal legislation introduced to ensure the continued operation of the Bull Mountains Underground Mine. Governor Gianforte and the State of Montana have done all they can to keep Montana’s mines operational; withstanding the failures of the federal judiciary and bureaucracy. However, the checkerboard mineral ownership necessitates that Congress get involved and pass one of the bills Senator Daines has introduced. These bills include S.4431 (reauthorizing the federal m...

  • No one is more Democrat than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.! Why Endorse Trump?

    Harold Pease PhD|Sep 11, 2024

    No one is more Democrat than Robert F. Kennedy Jr. No Democrat is less likely to endorse a Republican for president than he—especially the man he hoped himself to defeat in 2024. But it is also true that no one is likely more offended by, and knowledgeable of, the Deep State than he. He believes, and has voiced many times, that the CIA killed his uncle and father. No organization is more Deep State than the CIA. In this he finds common ground with Donald Trump. No presidential candidate or president has been more opposed by the Deep State t...

  • Artificial Intelligence…a youth's perspective

    Sep 11, 2024

    Submitted by: Destiny Hendrickson AI is taking over the world. We’ve seen this all over the globe as eerie pictures and nonsensical essays get uploaded before our eyes. Many young artists are unhappy with the existence of generative AI because their passion projects are being used to train these artificial art thieves. Although, AI’s effect on society has its ups and downs, depending on the usage. Some people find AI helpful, like writers who are experiencing writer's block. Even though it can be useful, many young people dislike the idea of...

  • Distraction or Interaction? Cellphones

    Sep 11, 2024

    By Angie Mozqueda It’s 2024, cellphones are like the new must-have item that everyone needs. It's crazy how we can't go anywhere without them! People used to go back for their forgotten wallets, but now it's all about going back home for that one device left on the counter – the cellphone. It's interesting to see how technology has changed over time. Now, everyone is addicted to staying connected through their phones. If adults can't put their phones down, it's no surprise that kids are jus...

    Sometimes in our lives we try to help someone and this person reacts in a harsh and negative way toward our unselfish act of humanity.We become the enemy.In this attack upon our goodness we become deeply wounded spiritually. Just moments ago former President Donald Trump was shot during his rally at Butler Pennsylvania.He suffered gunshot wounds near his right ear but is alive.In the Bible there are several verses of helping others. Galatians 6:10 tells,"Therefore as we have opportunity lllet us do good for all people especially to those who...

    Montana's Catholic Bishops Urge Montanans to Vote Against CI-128 On May 3rd of this year, we issued a pastoral call to reject Constitutional Initiative 128 (CI-128) and prevent it from appearing on the November ballot in Montana. Sadly, after large amounts of out-of-state funding, Planned Parenthood and its associates have succeeded. This grave threat to unborn children, mothers, and families will be on the ballot. As followers of Jesus and faith-filled citizens of Montana, we are compelled to speak boldly indefense of the infinite dignity of e...
