  • Letters to the Editor

    Jun 7, 2023

    I've had a mental tick nibbling at my thought processes for some time. It started back in 2017 when Donald Trump, as president, issued an executive order barring people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, and Syria from entering the country. It was an attempt to use foreign affairs policy to keep terrorists out of the country. Derrick Watson, a low level district judge in Hawaii, ruled against the action, and for a while a Hawaiian judge was in charge of the foreign policy of the United States rather than the President. I remember th...

    Jun 7, 2023

    With all the checks and balances ingrained in the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it is incomprehensible how one election is totally destroying the foundation of our very successful republic. Wayne Hage, in his book 'Storm over Rangelands', extensively documented how the eastern industrialists coveted the natural resources of the western states and since the 1880's had been using the federal government to keep these resources out of the hands of the western settlers (i.e. forest reserves, retained mineral rights, etc.). In recent year...

    I will answer this question with some proof and facts that yes, the CIA is in many ways brainwashing Americans. To put it simply, mind control. Between the years 1953 and 1973 the CIA launched an illegal human experimentation program called MK-Ultra. Its purpose was to use human guinea pigs as subjects under the influence of the hallucinogenic drug known as LSD. I's purpose was to modify behavior and also to find ways of mastering mind control. The CIA had plans to use these techniques against enemies. Names of some who were candidates willing...

    A Seminar with Tom Fidel Saturday, June 10, 2023, 10:00 am to 11:30 am At the Dean Creek Volunteer Fire Department 531 Dean Creek Road Lavina, MT 59046 Each of us works hard to balance our internal power and happiness with the frenetic pace around us.

While these mediums provide seemingly unlimited information, the “facts” are often intentionally manipulated to...

  • Rosendale Releases Statement Opposing $4 Trillion Debt Ceiling Increase

    Jun 7, 2023

    “The D.C. Swamp has proposed the largest debt ceiling increase in our nation’s history, adding $4 trillion to the existing $31 trillion national debt,” said Rep. Rosendale. "The Fiscal Irresponsibility Act fails to cut spending and continues to fund the Democrats’ and Biden Administration’s radical agenda. It is frankly an insult to the American people to support a piece of legislation that continues to put our country’s financial future at risk. Montanans did not send me to Washington to support business as usual, which is why I will be vot...
