He also condemned his colleagues across the aisle for blocking a continuing resolution that would fund the government beyond Sept. 30 and avoid defaulting on America's bills.

Clever tweets tend to morph in content and meaning over time. I don't know where this one originated, and I've edited it to taste as people will do with such things, but I'm sure you'll get where it's going: "It's just 15 days to flatten the curve. It's just a mask. It's just six feet. It's just no large gatherings. It's just preventing 'misinformation.' It's just a shot. It's just a mandate. It's just showing your vaccine passport on demand ..." Naturally, anyone who objected at any waypoint on that trail, or predicted the next waypoint, was...
The fourth Saturday in September marks a national day of recognition for two things Montanans already value every day: National Public Lands Day and National Hunting and Fishing Day. As Montanans, hunting, fishing and access to public lands is part of who we are. It is the lifeblood of our economy, and public lands are where many of us create the memories we cherish with our families. As your Congressman and Secretary of the Interior, I led the charge against the sale or transfer of public lands. I was often the lone Republican voice in the...
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, an increasing number of people have moved to rural America seeking to establish a livelihood fueled by entrepreneurship. In fact, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, in July 2020 alone more than 550,000 new businesses were established in rural areas nationwide - which is a 95% increase over the previous year. The pandemic may have forever changed the way we all do business, but the one constant that has not changed is the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) commitment to helping entrepreneurs a...
Despite APR’s Pete Geddes’ 9-15- 2021 opinion piece in the Lewistown News Argus that proclaimed everything is going swimmingly for APR, CEO Alison Fox told APR’s membership in a September 2021 email that APR is changing its name and logo to ‘American Prairie’ and claims to be focusing more on public land access and preserving biodiversity on the prairie in northcentral Montana. For those of us who don’t drink APR’s Kool-Aid, we note that APR’s web site does not reflect any particular revisions to its goal of creating a multimillion ac...

We got to noticing the other day that it was getting later a lot earlier now and came to realize that it was the beginning of Fall.

It is the beginning of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere. So if you like Spring over Fall, go South young man/woman. So there we were, over at Flip Burger's restaurant, love that place, when we...
I’ve been bringing my greenery inside. There are entirely too many houseplants now enjoying the steady temperatures a well-insulated house provides. It seems I just can’t let them freeze. There are several duplicates so I may be advertising a few to sell. It always takes a while before the plants settle into their good fortune. A few of the amaryllis are showing limp, yellowed leaves. I’m going to try hard to remember to treat them (and all the plants) to a bit of fertilizer every other week or so. There are still a few hills of potatoes to be...
