Editor, First, I have to admit, I am aware of our predominant area political bias and have been for a long time. But, I am continually amazed that the bias seems, now, to have overshadowed the ideals of what America should represent, as spoken since 1942: “truth, justice, and the American way.” Today, it is believed that our party can do no wrong. Don’t waste time questioning if what our party does represents the American way; it does because we do it. Education only presents ideas contrary to belief and is not needed. Facts are what our leaders say they are. This letter comes about because of the recent Daines ad on TV featuring a nice old lady, farmer/ranc...
Editor, Trump’s approach to the administration of this pandemic focuses on himself and his reelection, not on the needs of the people or the country, and such self-preoccupation has never been admired by the people of Montana, who tend to be generous, practical and helpful to others. Our pr...
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 curre...
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...
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, ...
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...
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...
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...
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, ...
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...
