PAID POLITICAL CONTENT Dear Editor, Rosendale has a long history of saying one thing and doing the opposite. He has told Montanan's how much he values and supports protecting Public Lands, supports Montana farmers, ranchers and agriculture, supports our veterans, wants to improve healthcare and wants to promote fiscal responsibility. However his actions tell a different story. Rosendale's relationship with the Wilks Brothers not only extends to the fact that he earns income from the Wilks...

Of course, the grackles have returned in force.I have a couple “squirrel-proof” bird feeders that I count on to foil those greedy, wasteful birds. They tend to knock all the seed out in...

With everything else we can do on a phone, is mobile gaming even still popular? Our no...
