The letter said the Senate infringed upon their free speech rights...
MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press BILLINGS - An attorney for a mentally disabled man serving a 100-year prison term for killing a high school teacher in the Northern Plains' oil patch asked the Montana Supreme Court on Tuesday to vacate his sentence and place him under the custody of state health officials. The killing of Sherry Arnold in the once-quiet town of Sidney called attention to a major spike in crime following an oil boom that swept eastern Montana and western North...

BILLINGS (AP) — Montana lawmakers will be asked to consider placing a tax on the sale of medical marijuana. Gov. Steve Bullock has proposed a 6 percent consumption tax as part of his budget. The tax would bring in about $2.6 million over two years, said the governor’s spokesman, Tim Crowe. Rep. Bradley Hamlett, D-Great Falls, is proposing legislation that would add a 21 percent tax to help pay for drug addiction programs and another 3 percent to subsidize the cost of medical marijuana for low-income patients. “A lot of people...

Former Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher recently gave a speech identifying the Federal Reserve’s easy money/low interest rate policies as a source of the public anger that propelled Donald Trump into the White House. Mr. Fisher is certainly correct that the Fed’s policies have “skewered” the middle class. However, the problem is not specific Fed policies, but the very system of fiat currency managed by a secretive central bank. Federal Reserve-generated increases in money supply cause economic inequal...
President-elect Trump’s transition team knew that nominating Jeff Sessions for Attorney General would set off controversy. Democrats and their allies in the press have at key times in the past called Sessions a racist — they’re now using the Alabama senator’s full name, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, to heighten the Old South effect — and now, as they oppose Trump at nearly every turn, they’ve turned to race again. Here’s why the effort to stop Sessions is likely to intensify as his confirmation hearings near. Session...
Wow, what a surprise the Electoral College was! Who knew that a candidate could win the race for the presidency even though he didn’t get a majority of the actual national vote, like Donald Trump did? Somehow, that possibility evaded all the advisers buzzing around Hillary Clinton, who constantly and smugly assured everyone that they were the modern experts with the superior grasp of data, so worry not about Trump defeating Clinton. They are the same ones who are now bitterly complaining about the unfairness of the E...
Where was all this passion during the campaign? Now, opponents of Donald Trump are incensed and outraged. Students are walking out of classrooms and campuses. Two protest marches will descend on the capital in January. A meeting of liberal activists was “intense, angry and unforgiving,” reports The New York Times. “This is a crisis of unparalleled dimension,” warned Wade Henderson of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. His fears are certainly justified, but hey, folks — elections have consequences. Clinton f...

Donna Lee Williams passed away Nov. 23, 2016. Donna loved God but her real religion was the backyard, the mountains, the open prairie, the Big Sky and her friends and family. Some of her best days were spent tending her tomato plants or walking in the sweet wild flowers of the Bear Paws. She was a caretaker to all life she came upon, be it a baby bird fallen from its nest, a stray cat or dog, or her sons and daughters. Her laugh was unforgettable and infectious, and she used...

Before we start with any scores from the week, Harvest Moon Lanes would like to take the time to thank all the friends and families who shared their Thanksgiving with us. We had a great time with all of you. Last Saturday was our first official Jackpot Bowling of the season. It was a small crowd but everyone had a great time winning gifts and cash. None of the pots were won the first night so they will increase to $35 for all three pots for this Saturday night. Remember to call, and or sign up at the desk to get in on next...
Not long ago, I called a select few fans at this year’s Cat-Griz game in Missoula idiots. I called them that because of the way they were behaving in the stands during the game, even though the players on the field, in a game nicknamed the Brawl of the Wild, were showing about 10,000 times more class than those few fans were. I just felt the word idiots was appropriate, and I still do. But I want those one-percenters, as I like to the very few in the Montana and Montana State...
When it comes to high school boys basketball, those of us along the Hi-Line have been pretty spoiled in recent years. Not only have we witnessed the Box Elder Bears win two Class C state championships in the past three years, we also got to watch some incredible individual talent such as Dane Warp, Brandon The Boy, Jerrod Four Colors, Justin May, Nate Rismon and Jerod Boles. Yet, all those players are gone now, having all graduated after last season. However, their teams must...
