“Reasonable person” test for US Senate, I urge Dr. Al Olszwski.
Dear Editor: In law we have the “reasonable person” test. Any reasonable person watching the political ads put on by Troy Downing would rightly assume that he had been both a helicopter and jet pilot in the United States Air Force. According to reliable sources, he was neither. Now he has a retired general supporting […]
Are you giving Away Your Data?
Dear Editor: Giving Away Your Data Most data is obtained legally, with your consent. But many times you don’t recognize when you are providing your information. There are many steps you can take to help protect your privacy. Here are a few more that are driven by the upcoming election cycle: Stop filling out political surveys […]
It is not difficult to find words with meaning that are not profane.
Dear Editor: I appreciated Krayton Kerns’ comments in his column last week regarding profanity. In his column, Krayton described both personal and national instances where profanity was used. This subject has been on my mind as well, having read of recent incidents of profane language by a current state legislator as well as a statewide […]
Fact-less right wing fear and hatemongering?
Dear Editor: As a casual and occasional reader of this publication, I have been drawn to the Letter to The Editor column. I do so enjoy and find great humor in some of the fact-less right wing fear and hatemongering. I do have to admit, however, at times some of this right wing jabber has […]
Juries must follow the law when deciding criminal cases
Dear Editor: In the Marbury V. Madison case, the U.S. Supreme Court proclaimed that it had the authority to invalidate a law passed by Congress and signed by the president. Of course, this right is not found in the U.S. Constitution. That is why Thomas Jefferson spent all the rest of his life criticizing and […]
Confused about Troy Downing
Dear Editor: As one who flew fighter aircraft for the Air Force in Vietnam I am confused about the political ads Troy Downing has been putting out. He says he was a helicopter pilot and was some type of jet pilot and also flew in combat. The truly confusing part is that Downing only spent […]
Fagg is the clear choice for Montana
Dear Editor: Russ Fagg is the conservative choice. Russ Fagg is the obvious choice for the U.S. Senate race. He is: * Pro-Second Amendment. * Pro-education. * Pro-limited government. * Pro-life. * Pro-jobs, and * Pro-balanced budget. Russ will
Next time it could be your community they target.
Dear Editor: “Obfuscation” – to make obscure or unintelligible. Gov. Steve Bullock and his party have been considered very environmentally conscious, but it seems they are forging a new direction. North Dakota is not currently allowing the disposal of Bakken oilfield radioactive or hazardous garbage. But the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is moving briskly […]
Russ Fagg should review the U.S. V. Dougherty case;
Dear Editor: I suggest that Russ Fagg review the U.S. V. Dougherty case; the cite is 473/F2d/1113. Among other things, this case held that a criminal trial court jury has the right to engage in jury nullification. It also says that a judge does not have the duty to tell them about this right. It […]
Jon Tester’s ads tell us he’s “out of fingers”
Dear Editor: Wow, Jon Tester’s ads tell us he’s “out of fingers” counting the ways he’s just like Donald Trump. Truth is, he WISHES Montanans would run out of fingers when remembering the times he bowed to Obama, Pelosi, Clinton and Schumer, and left Montana stained with his collusion. Jon, some may clutch their noses […]
