Letters to the Editor
Editor, In these alarming and unprecedented times of the coronavirus, I appreciate the competent leadership of Governor Steve Bullock. He gives us the straight scoop. He seeks and follows the advice of medical professionals, and he’s able to make the hard calls. No one wants to have to make a decision that pits the public’s physical health against its financial health, but it’s necessary. Bullock has issued appropriate directives about closures. We can hope that early decisive action will ultimately reduce the overall time of closures of public gathering places, schools, and businesses. Stephanie Brancati Big Arm
Editor, In this time of great stress and confusion, it is so easy to fall into fear and a sort of emotional despair. I have listened to so many of our churches preaching the message of asking God for just about everything. It involves trust in God and almost begging Him to fix this or that in our li...
Editor, There is a silver lining to the toilet paper shortage. Sewer repairmen are now paying for their kids’ college educations by removing paper towels (which don’t dissolve) from clogged sewer lines. Emergency weekend calls might also pay for a new boat. The ave...
Editor, I cannot handle it anymore! I am losing all my belly fat from the constant laughter. It becomes challenging to endure all his winning. In all seriousness though, Mr. President, in my opinion your Montana Congressional leadership undermines your authority to Make America Great Again. ...
Editor, Beg your pardon? No, that won’t do. But you can buy your pardon. What an opportunity. If you have been sentenced in federal court for a crime, this is a unique time in American history to secure a pardon or clemency. In February, Nelson Petz raised over $10 million for Donald Trump’...
Editor, The real danger to our nation and the world is not with Donald Trump and his opinions and actions due to his mental disability. It is with the number of otherwise sensible and well-meaning citizens in our nation who back him, support him, and put political party reverence ahead of what is right fo...
Editor, A meet and greet for Dr. Al Olszewski, candidate for Montana governor, will be held at the Polson VFW upstairs on Friday, March 6 at 6 p.m. Come and join friends and well wishers to support Dr. Al in his bid to become the next Governor of Montana. This is our chance to elect someone who will...
Editor, President Trump’s mental disorder, narcissism, is a very insidious mental condition and danger to the world. Presidential leadership requires clear thinking and putting the good of the nation ahead of personal power, pride and self-image concerns. Trump’s narcissistic impulses cause...
Recently, the US Senate saw each political party flock separately. A few outliers eventually rejoined their feathered-tribes. By not doing so, Romney is meeting a fate sometimes found in nature where the group isolates and sometimes destroys one of their own. Humans are animals. We have similarities. What ca...
While no one can begrudge a local government for wanting to protect the interests of their residents, it is a different scenario entirely when they are criticizing the very legislation that will protect their constituents from years of costly litigation and uncertainty. Contrary to claims made by the Lake...
