The brothers had been at Ground Zero to help evacuate civilians.

We must remember that there are many who were not here 20-years-ago when the terrorists flew planes into the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and almost hit the U.S. Capitol. The horrors of that day must not be forgotten! Teachers ans schools must not be allowed to try and cover up this attack. Several years back, I was awoken one night when God spoke the words 'Sycamore Tree' to me. I had no idea what that meant, but remembered it was mentioned in the Bible. But why these words now? I awoke the next...

The ostensible purpose of the mandate is to...

T...
Lately, deliberate misrepresentations have been circulating regarding American Prairie’s proposal to graze bison on six federal allotments in Phillips County. While most Montanan’s who have commented thus far clearly welcome our proposal, some remain committed to a misinformation campaign based on rumors and misdirection. This only serves to perpetuate divisions and erode our civic fabric. As such, I am compelled to set the record straight. The Bureau of Land Management can issue grazing permits or leases and modify existing permits to sub...
