Dear Editor, Let's debate policy, not personal attacks. At the start of the new year, on behalf of the Montana Republican Party, I invited the architects of the recently enacted property tax shift laws to publicly debate their merits at next month's Republican Winter Kick-off in Great Falls. I also challenged them to attend the Kick-off to hear what the newly formed Red Policy Committee is presenting: real, substantive solutions on property taxes, election integrity, judicial transparency, and...
Beards simultaneously hide and accentuate chins. The AI bubble is driven by CEOs who’ve built their careers on judging the appearance of human work, where things only look good if someone actually put the effort in, and suddenly meeting a technology that produces perfect‑looking work even when the substance is absent. The anticipation of an amusement ride failing is more responsible for nervousness than the experience itself. In movies and video games, the idea of anti-gravity has people and things floating. True anti-gravity would repel thi...
It can be easy to believe that what is happening now has never happened before, but the past has a way of repeating. Weather is no exception. The year 1925 and into the start of 1926 is an example. The Jefferson Valley did not see a low temperature below zero for 399 days as of January 26, 1926. December 1925 was warm enough for farmers to still be threshing the last of their crops. Precipitation was scarce through December and January. The following news items are taken from the January 1926...

Whitehall Indivisible’s guest speaker last Wednesday was Brian Miller from Helena, Montana Second District Candidate for the US House. Miller had so much content across so many topics that we invited him to contribute his summary in his own words: In 2026, we can see parallels between the conditions that led to the American Revolution in 1776, and the challenges we face today. First, we have the oppressive and tyrannical nature of federal tactics against states and cities who are uncomfortable with the brutal anti-immigration tactics of ICE. W...
In the four years since Montana began allowing the legal sale of adult-use marijuana on Jan 1, 2022, the state's retailers have sold more than $1 billion in product as adult-use sales rise more than enough to offset a sharp decline in purchases regulated and taxed as a medical product. From January 2022 through December 2025, total monthly medical and adult-use marijuana sales increased by about 13% to $27.3 million, according to data from the Montana Department of Revenue. Over that same period...

Though there might be little people can do to avoid catching a cold or coming down with the flu, certain approaches can make it easier to get through a bout with either illness. Flu vaccinations have been found to lessen the severity of influenza infection, while rest and plenty of fluids can help reduce the length of time a cold keeps people out of commission. Knowing what to eat when combating a cold and the flu can also help people treat each virus....
GEORGIA, I have a question, Back in October, I bought flights for two of my boyfriend’s best friends to come visit for his birthday in February. Everyone knew it was supposed to be a surprise, but then recently I found out they already told him, which is frustrating. I paid for the tickets under the pretense that this was going to be a huge surprise for him, and now that has been ruined. Also, lately I’ve been feeling like I want to end the relationship. Over the last three years, he’s said and done a lot of hurtful stuff. I’m just fed up with...
With constant national news that disturbs us, sometimes our local news cheers us up. My point today is that we should take suffering as part of life. The degree of suffering, of course, varies for individuals. However, the longer we live, the more obstacles we encounter. The key to managing those challenges often comes back to our attitude and overall outlook. I find Paul to be one of the bright examples of how to handle suffering. He found joy, comfort, and even peace through Jesus Christ, and he conveys this message well in writing to...
