Sure I joke about Canada, give them a little friendly ribbing about how polite they are, but I realize it’s in their constitution that they have to be kind to everyone, so imagine my surprise this week to see Canadians being so hateful to Americans. And by hateful I mean that someone compiled, printed up and is now selling a little calendar called “Justin Trudeau, My Canadian Boyfriend.” And by calendar I mean a collection of 12 GQ-like photos showcasing the Canadian prime...
BILLINGS — During the eight years of the Obama Administration the annual growth rate averaged 1.47 percent. To achieve the American Dream and economic prosperity, we need an annual growth rate of 3-3.5 percent. Likewise, during the past ten years, taxes increased, the federal debt has risen to outrageous levels, and government is growing so fast the definition of the word ‘efficiency’ should be changed to “the antithesis of the federal government.” Our tax code is broken, it’s inefficient, and any amount of economic gr...

One of the advantages of the Hi-Line is that winter usually comes in sections, a blizzard and a chinook or at least a thaw — and then another blizzard. Sometimes we get the same type of winter as they get back East, where the snow begins to fall in October and stays on the ground until May. But mostly we get a series of min...

Several fascinating quotations are listed here from the some of the unnamed investigators: One of our local pastors was reported to have slipped money into the hand of a...
Your picture’s near but you’re not here; it’s you we truly miss. Just read a book ‘bout boy and girl — ‘bout how they loved to kiss. Memories bounced back from long ago — our hearts then filled with bliss. Your sparking eyes knew we were right — we’d not pass up a kiss. You were “God’s Man” – then, fell asleep; God was right there with you. Last words to me were oh, so sweet — it was as if you knew. No one is ever really gone – they leave their mark on us. When we are sad and all alone, we ‘feel’ your mark — a plus. We...
