Wearing a mask is important

Editor, I find it incomprehensible that David Passieri writes a letter to your newspaper touting the notion that “COVID-19 is simply a spiritual battle that must be confronted.”  I agree that it needs to be confronted, but he doesn’t elaborate on how we might bring down the current death rate (the highest in the world and rising), spiritually.He does say something I agree with; namely that: “We should all embrace love in our hearts,” which makes complete sense and is why we should wear a mask in public. You may think a mask doesn’t work or that wearing one is an infringement of your constitutional rights – an opinion that you are entitled...


Tort reform needed

Editor, It has been over a decade since Howard Dean admitted why there was not one word of tort reform in “ObamaCare.”  It had everything to do with money grubbing by trial lawyers. Thanks to the Democrats and Steve Bullock, this glaring fault in Obama’s efforts to nationalize our h...


COVID keeps sister stuck inside

Editor,  The past five months have been a little rough on my sister, who’s sequestered at St. Joseph Assisted Living in Polson. Sure, she receives three meals a day and lots of love and care from the staff. But those ingredients that help make life worth living – independence, affection, ...


COVID will cause pre-existing conditions

Editor,  As research is gathered about COVID-19 pandemic, a sobering finding is that many people who get the disease will have health problems long after they have recovered from the infection. Many will have kidney damage, heart tissue damage or lung damage. COVID-19 can be much more than a two-week...


Commonsense, nonsense considered

Editor,  A great big thank you to U.S. Veteran Dr. Rashid Buttar, M.D., and Dr. Pam Popper, naturopath, for expertly and courageously making it clear that the current SARS-2/CoVid-19 pandemic scare is truly a spiritual battle that must be confronted.   As Americans, we embrace being free agen...


COVID-19 numbers increasing

Editor, Last time I wrote to our wonderful Lake County, it was June 14th and we had 600 cases of COVID-19 in Montana, but that was a jump from 461 cases on June 1st. At the time, I referred to this growth as exponential or rapid growth, but that word should have been reserved for the change we’ve...


Rosendale defends second amendment

Editor, As a proud gun owner and sportsman, the most important thing I consider before supporting any candidate is if I can count on them to defend our Second Amendment rights from the barrage of attacks from the socialist-left and their allies in the media.  Matt Rosendale is a fellow gun owner, ...


Rosendale stands for life

Editor, It is critical that our lone representative in Congress be a voice for the voiceless and stand up for the most vulnerable in our society — especially the unborn. Matt Rosendale has a long track record of being unabashedly pro-life. In the Montana legislature, he was a vocal advocate for p...


Law enforcement needs to be included

Editor,  To the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Council: After reading page two of the June 25 edition of the Char-Koosta News that explains how the COVID-19 relief funds allocated to our tribe are going to be distributed, I became quite alarmed as an elder of the tribe.  I was shocke...


Vote goes to Graybill

Editor,  Raph Graybill is running to be our next attorney general and will fight to defend our healthcare and stop price gouging on prescription drugs.  Recently, 26 generic drug manufacturers were sued for conspiring to illegally raise the price on prescription drugs. These out-of-state corp...
