Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen is worried the American Prairie Reserve's (APR) bison grazing change of use permit proposal could have a disastrous economic impact on Valley County farmers and Ranchers. "I think it moves in that direction, that is the concern," Knudsen told The Courier over the phone late last week. "One of the big concerns I have is there seems to be two different sets of rules. There is a set of rules for farmers and ranchers who have these federal allotments, and...

St. Marie residents last week woke up to a movie scene straight out of "Red Dawn" as paratroopers descended from the skies during exercises at the old Glasgow Air Force Base facility. No, it wasn't red communists surreptitiously carrying out an invasion of heartland America. Instead, it was a troop of U.S. military personnel in town for exercises at the near abandoned base, currently managed by Montana Air Research Company (MARCO), an affiliate of Boeing. MARCO refused to comment on the ongoing... Full story
On Aug. 25, two days after the US Food and Drug Administration fully approved the Pfizer-Biontech COVID-19 vaccine, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered "full vaccination of all members of the Armed Forces." Cue outrage and objection. Some officers have resigned their commissions; some enlisted personnel seem willing to risk court-martial and dishonorable discharge rather than get vaccinated. Some claim the mandate violates their rights or lacks a legal basis. In the quarter century since my honorable discharge from the US Marine Corps,... Full story
This summer, I heard from small business owners about how Montana’s lack of housing is holding back our economy. It’s a story I keep hearing, that Main Street wants to hire, and Montanans want to go where the jobs are, but they can’t find a home or apartment they can afford. The typical price of a home in Montana has risen more than 10 percent in the last year, showing us the housing struggles that were localized to just some of our communities have spread to hamstring communities throughout this state. It’s unacceptable that hard-wo... Full story
This month, U.S. Senators began the markup of Democrats’ $3.5 trillion budget resolution package. This rubber-meets-road moment seems to have given pause to some in their party whose votes will be needed to get a bill through Congress and across the President’s desk. Among them is Montana’s Senator Jon Tester. The President and the progressive left members of Congress have proposed financing the Administration’s marquee spending bill largely by raising the U.S. corporate tax rate. It is a moral imperative, they say, to make big business “pay it... Full story
New York Times columnist Ross Douthat could use a refresher on Freudo-Marxist psychiatrists. Douthat chides libertarians — or at least “the kind of libertarian who identifies forever with his 13-year-old self” — for taking a laissez-faire attitude to “a novel, obviously addictive technology that might well be associated with depression and self-harm” (“Instagram Is Adult Entertainment,” Sept. 30). Douthat refers to social media websites, but he should take a closer look at “the people who panicked over the moral effects of comic books” befo... Full story

Want to know what happened this week in Saint Marie? "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf" — George Orwell "1984." Flag at half-staff The American Legion sent out a notice that United States flags on all Federal office buildings are to be flown at half-staff in honor of the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service in Emmitsburg, Maryland. This year, the memorial service was held on this past Sunday, Oct. 3, and pays a national tribute to all fallen firefighters. A...
As I sit here composing this weeks musings on gardening in northeast Montana, I’m enjoying my vase full of the last of my gladioli blossoms. I freely admit I was very late (hello, procrastination) getting the bulbs into the ground last spring. But, the silver lining in that is that I have these beautiful flowers at the end of September when most others don’t. (I will get the bulbs dug and stored before next week, I swear!) I’ve been regularly deadheading my small marigolds. Those snapped off blossoms continue their purpose in life even away fro...
