Brain injury event

I’d like to thank all of our generous sponsors and guests on behalf of the Brain Injury Alliance Center of Montana in our second annual Big Sky Fight Club event on June 8 at the Wachholz Center.

We were blessed with celebrity UFC guests Pat Miletich, Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughes, Alfie Alcarez and Olympian boxer Todd Foster in attendance to support our mission in helping the traumatically brain injured community in Montana.

The evening was an emotional, but inspiring even and wouldn’t be possible without our many dedicated sponsors and friends.

Tester votes with New York

It must be election time with all Jon Tester’s ads telling how he just found out about all the bad things going on, like wide-open borders, illegal drugs killing our young people and inflation hurting everyone. 

To bad he wasn’t Montana’s senator for the last three years, where he would have done something to stop it. Oh wait, he was and did nothing at all except take lobbyist money. He reminds me of Mel Brooks in “Blazing Saddles” where said he must protect his phony baloney job. Montana needs protection from Joe Biden’s policies and Tester’s votes.

Did he save the Keystone Pipeline for Montana? No. Did he protect the Montana coal, natural gas and lumber industry? No. Did he stop massive reckless government spending and resulting inflation. No.  He did vote for a for show only Senate border bill with no enforcement or closing of the border? He won’t bring up or vote on a strong House border bill that would do some good.

Tester talks Montana but votes 100% New York. But I guess that’s who pays for most of his ads.  Time to say goodbye to Jon and vote for a senator who votes for Montana.

What if?

If windmills pumped oil, many of those opposed might be in favor.

Chaotic invasion

I wish I didn’t have to write this letter because it’s not going to be a pleasant one. My mind still has common sense and knows right from wrong.

The masses of illegal aliens coming into our country every day is way beyond crazy. You see news coverage of thousands of people just walking in like it’s a fine and normal thing, not the abomination it is.

I can’t ignore and not think about this fatalistic thing that is gong on every day; a massive invasion of our country and home. Our federal government is broken and worthless.

Some media outlets report about our chaotic invasion. They talk the talk every day, but nobody does anything to stop it. Most media doesn’t even report it. Who would of ever thought that America would be so easy and simple to bring down and destroy.

Is that all there is to America’s strength, where it can’t protect and care for itself? Well, then we deserve what happens to our home land then.
