  • Letters to the Editor

    I grew up considering our national security bureaus and agencies to be beyond reproach; e.g. the legendary FBI, with J. Edgar Hoover in the vanguard of busting organized criminals and Commies pledged to overthrow our government, (Don’t snort at the latter before reading Herbert Philbrick’s book, I Led Three Lives. You can discover EXACTLY when the focus of American Commies became revolution.), the CIA, and the Secret Service. The first fissure in my faith came when Hilary Clinton’s fingerprint was found on an FBI file her president...

    Harold Pease PhD

The building, assessed as “priority vulnerability,” the most likely place for a sniper, should have had Secret Service personnel on the roof many hours before and during the event, and no ladder should have been...

Former Congresswoman of Hawaii recently visited our state of Montana to help former Navy Seal Tim Sheehy campaign. She mentioned how our freedoms were eroding in our culture.Tulsi Gabbard a...
