After two years of Montana Democrats gleefully and vigorously advocating for the forced-masking and forced-vaccination of their fellow Montanans, their sudden defense of “health privacy” in service of codifying abortion into Montana law through judicial activism exposes not only their hypocrisy, but their ignorance. Prominent Montana Democrats including former elected Democrats and Democrat-aligned non-profits have…

[Note: This article was first published on September 15, 2022 at Poor Roger’s Almanac.] The 2022 mid-term elections are rapidly approaching–Election Day, November 08, is only seven weeks away.

Ryan Zinke’s congressional candidacy has once again shone a spotlight on a concept I like to call “Einstein’s definition of political insanity”: the action of voting for the lesser of two evils, repeatedly (simply because “he’s a Republican!”), and thinking that, magically, the candidate will morph into a principled politician.

The release of the documentary film 2000 Mules awakened millions of American voters to the blatant manipulation of the 2020 election. Figuring prominently in this exposé were non-governmental organizations or NGO’s. Non-governmental organizations are often identified as non-profits whose stated goals are to promote humanitarian or social benefits to deserving communities or groups. However, the…

Mainstream Montana journalists are growing harder and harder to distinguish from the rapid response communications teams of the Montana Democratic Party and the Democratic Party nationally. Self-described “journalists” Ashley Nerbovig and Skylar Rispens are the official #HatchetGirls of the Montana establishment media.

in Opinion, Politics
People claiming to be “conservative” like to champion the value of Reagan’s concept of the “Big Tent”, welcoming everyone into the party to win the vote. Let’s examine this “value” by looking through history since value can only be established by grading results. The concept of a “big tent” gave us our first president to…

They say that youth is wasted on the young and the older I get, the truer that saying becomes. How many of us can remember our grandparents waxing nostalgic about “the good old days” and we would secretly laugh them off? I am discovering the older I get, the more I miss my grandparents and…
