  • The Fat Straw

    Lura Pitman|May 17, 2023

    The Fat Straw is a newly opened Main Street business featuring Boba Tea. What is Boba tea, you might ask. Boba tea is a sweet milk tea with brown sugar flavored tapioca pearls. You can drink and eat at the same time. It sounds funny, but this drink trend is extremely popular, and surprisingly delicious. The straw needed to drink Boba is extra-large, or you might call it a "Fat Straw". Johnny Chavez and Stephanie Graben of PRONTO Construction are the owners of the new business. Located at the...

    Yes, Patriots, WE ARE WINNING. There is Hope Sometimes politics can be accompanied by so much hate, lies and evil that it seems impossible to get back to justice and accountability. Yes, the dark clouds in front of us are awesome and overwhelming and there seems to be little hope freedom can survive. Perhaps it is time to look backwards rather than forward to see that we are winning. I have been writing and lecturing on the Deep State for almost fifty years watching them destroy America and its Constitution, as did Dr. W. Cleon Skousen, Ezra...

    The United States once was a fairly normal and quiet nation. Yes we have known many interior conflicts due to political differences. But our even temperament began changing after Barack Obama was elected our forty fourth President. Barack Obama has always been a mystery to many Americans. Was he born in Hawaii in 1961? For years Donald Trump as many others in government have questioned Obama's birth certificate that former President Trump has said is a series of manufactured facts. The education of Barack Obama seems to be shadowed in doubt....

    Recently, there have been attacks on the 68th Montana Legislature by the liberal media. Claims that the Legislature started a "culture war" or that we "marginalized the most marginalized" really lack an understanding of the times in which we live. First and foremost, our Legislature is the branch of government closest to the people. Citizen Legislators elected by the people of Montana take their values and campaign promises to Helena every two years, voting as representatives of the people. Attacks by the elitist media to belittle the...

  • Rep. Matt Rosendale and Senator Rick Scott Op-Ed for Fox News Supporting House GOP Debt Limit Plan

    May 17, 2023

    “The Republican solution to America’s debt ceiling problem is to return power back to where it belongs: with the American people. We seek to fundamentally transform the way Washington works.
