Federal management destroying our public lands

Really! After 50 years of the federal government cutting off access of our, the state of Montana’s public lands, by destroying or gating roads and, in addition, doing all it can to eliminate any and all logging in Western Montana, now the editorial board (and some county commissioners) are worried …

Demand sanity from the Forest Service

Don’t be fooled by the AP article on smoke from Western wildfires, which attributes more smoke in our region to “climate change” (whatever that is). In reality, the cause is the poor management practices of the Forest Service relative to our forests who fail to realize that first and foremost, …

The green agenda and government control

It’s getting colder out year by year, I told my astonished friend. On top of that, the Antarctic ice sheet is setting records for increase and even the Arctic ice sheet has grown significantly since it’s low point as measured in 2012. His reply of “ridiculous” had to be modified …

Tester represents the D.C. 'Swamp'

Jon Tester is hiding (and he should) behind an advertising barrage which is producing a smokescreen designed to obscure his support for the far left as evidenced by his voting record. His ad campaign tries to paint his opponent as an outsider out of touch with Montana voters. In fact …

Let's have a public discussion about school issues

I appreciate the response to my letter about school elections by Ray Antley. At least someone is involved and through discussion all of us can learn about the issues which will help all of us make better decisions when casting our ballots.

It's time to repair and rebuild our Constitution

Liberal protesters like spoiled children

So what did you expect from the liberals after Trump was elected? Did you think they would act like good sports and, while not affirming the president’s agenda, they would be defferential to the will of the citizens of the U.S. allowing the president to go forward on his agenda …
