The fight for freedom
America is under siege. We are threatened by an enemy that is undermining the very foundations of our Constitution and the American values that have created, in the words of Ronald Reagan, the world’s “shining city of a hill.” This war against the heartland is not being waged by our traditional global adversaries or even the jihadist terrorists who have vowed to destroy America and everything in it. This is a battle being fought from within.
Masks are good for business
It is popular to say that government should be run like a business. Those arguing about wearing masks should look to local and national businesses; they will see that masks are good for business. The governor’s mask requirement is a way for us to keep the Flathead open for business. The anti-mask protests that we have seen at City Council meetings and around the Northwest Montana Fair are putting this in jeopardy.

I’m writing in support of Kathleen Williams for U.S. Representative in November. I have met her and listened to her speak twice in the past few years. I am impressed by her background in working on the Environmental Quality Council, a strictly bipartisan working committee established by the Legislature in 1971. She was instrumental in reaching compromises between ranchers, farmers, tribes and various groups in order to produce solutions that all parties could agree to, including water rights agreements.
Healthy people are being demonized and campaigned against
I have been a registered nurse for over 29 years, the majority of which has been spent in the community health setting. All of my jobs during this time have involved infection control, whether that was part of orientation and general practice, or more often a vital part of my responsibilities as a manager. Quite frequently, I had the responsibilities of writing policies and procedures regarding infection control and also was responsible for training and oversight of infection control. None of what is currently occurring today (particularly relating to the wearing of masks) in any way squares with either my training, education or practice, and I have worked in a wide variety of settings.

So now many liberals want us to support “Black Lives Matter, Inc”. I don’t wonder why. It is so blatantly obvious that BLM is just a euphemism and a vehicle for the leaders of this “cancel culture” movement who desire to tear this country apart and redo it under their codified versions of socialism and communism. It certainly isn’t about individual black lives as is so painfully obvious when Chicago had, over one weekend, over 100 shootings with 14 deaths, all black without hardly any mention of it in the press. It’s really not about black lives but rather attracting liberal votes and It has been that way ever since Obama was elected and made everything about race. In reality, It’s all about the Democrat political machine — that’s why nothing changes.

There are few issues of more conspicuous lunacy today than defunding the police. Particularly, the idea of defunding School Resource Officers will make schools unsafe. Have we forgotten the violent active shooter events that schools endured in recent years? Removing SROs will leave schools vulnerable to violence and promote a climate of lawlessness. Teachers need an atmosphere of peace and security to teach students the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in life. SROs assist schools in creating this peaceful environment.

Water right protection and certainty is important to not only those in agriculture, but all Montanans. Whether used for irrigation or any beneficial use, all Montanans have a vested interest in the certainty and protection of water rights that is provided through the Water Rights Protection Act (S. 3019).

Montana Wounded Warriors would like to thank the board members of the Flathead Valley Clay Target Club for this years 10th annual benefit shoot. The club has been long time supporters of Montana’s wounded vets and this year even in the middle of the Covid mess was no exception. The trap club literally stuck to their guns and held the shoot not knowing if anyone would attend. Thankfully there was a record turnout and it was the biggest year yet in the total raised at over $5,000.
