If there’s one thing Montanans are about, it’s common sense. We work hard, play by the rules and don’t like when Washington elites impose laws that go against what works for Montana. That’s why I fought against President Biden and the Democrats’ attempt to pass their partisan bill to enact a federal takeover of elections every step of the way—because what they were trying to do didn’t make sense, and it’s not what Montanans wanted. In Montana, thanks to the leadership of Governor Greg Gianforte and Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen, the M... Full story
The American Prairie Reserve (APR), aka American Prairie Foundation, aka American Prairie, continues to struggle with its tattered public image and is now engaged in a media flurry to convince wild bison opponents of its many virtues by trotting out spin doctors willing to repeat the gospel according to APR’s playbook. The most recent spin effort appeared in a 1-15-2022 Lewistown News Argus opinion piece by Gene Walborn who recites a number of economic and public contributions made by APR to confirm its neighborliness being expressed in the r...

As we flip the calendar page to a New Year, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our health and daily lives. However, as we look toward 2022, a lot has changed, and it is important to remember that we have many more tools available now to control the virus now than we did at this time last year. Millions of people across the globe and over 545,000 Montanans have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, preventing serious disease and slowing the spread of COVID in our communities. These vaccines have been a true triumph of vaccine... Full story

Lately, I have been delving into the past family histories again, something I have done for years and have actually been able to find cousin’s that I never even knew existed! Part of my family did settle in the Northeastern Montana area and I was sent some very interesting articles and information about some of them and their lives here in Montana during the mid to late 1800‘s. I thought I would share one story with you all. My Great Great Great Grandmother’s brother was Samuel Russell. He was known in his earlier days as the “Powder River K...
This week I’m fully back into cooking our meals at home again. There’s a LOT of dining out when we’re on vacation. I’m also once again doing the Whole Life Challenge, so I’m using recipes that work for my chosen nutritional level, which remains the most lenient of the choices. I’m not going overboard (full-on vegan, and something in-between that level of craziness and just skipping real sugar and wheat flours). While we were in Florida, we dined at P.F. Chang’s, at Dennis’s request. He loves their Mongolian Beef - go figure. Kim and I share...
Do you remember eating rabbit? I remember eating rabbit for a meal as a child. I also remember my sister crying as we ate as these rabbits were raised and cared for by us. Mom could never convince us that we were eating chicken! I am sure that many homesteaders and others ate rabbit caught in the wild, but there were also many local people that raised rabbits for this purpose. I do remember rabbits being raised locally and taken to Canada for a market. On a recent broadcast of Under the Big Sky, there was a discussion concerning the...
We all love our cellphones. They offer near-limitless freedom in where we choose to communicate, consume media or learn. The cellphone network is one of the triumphs of modern engineering, with 94% of the world’s population having access to a wireless service. The fifth generation of wireless cellular technology, dubbed 5G, has had a rocky start however. This is in spite of 5G being totally revolutionary in its reach and scope to deliver speed, availability and functionality. What does the 5G rollout mean then, and how is it making news by a...
