New Polling, Same Bad News for Tester
Last week, the New York Times and Siena College released a poll conducted among 656 likely Montana voters. The results are in line with other recent polling, showing Republican Tim Sheehy with a 7-point lead over Democrat Jon Tester. The poll had a margin of error of 4.3 percentage points. Less than 0.5% of respondents
Between the Lines: A few notes about the election:
* It’s striking how quickly Republicans have moved from blaming the last four years on Joe Biden to blaming them on Kamala Harris. It’s as though they have forgotten how limited the powers of the vice president are. John Nance Garner famously characterized the vice presidency as not worth “a bucket of warm spit,” even […]
The Border Czar
Did Kamala forget that as the Border Czar of the United States her actions on illegal immigration would be highly visible? This visibility, I might add, shows a job of utter failure, if not a downright dereliction of duties. Mainstream media is aiding and abetting this dereliction by providing cover. Cover…meaning her dereliction of duty […]
Only problem, there wasn’t a word of truth to anything Crisp wrote.
Dear Editor, David Crisp wrote a scathing article about Donald Trump. Only problem there wasn’t a word of truth to anything Crisp wrote. We know Tester & Kamala are world class liars and now Crisp has demonstrated he is part of the club. I won’t attempt to correct all the lies and inuendoes Crisp laid […]
Tester Breaks with Moderates on Senate Filibuster
This past Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris told Wisconsin Public Radio that she supports eliminating the Senate filibuster to pass a codification of Roe v. Wade. If the filibuster were to be eliminated, the Senate would just need a simple majority of 51 rather than 60 votes to pass legislation. Harris has voiced support for […]
Tester Cast Tiebreaking Vote for Debt Relief Program that Excluded White Farmers

In the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act, a measure was added to provide debt relief for farmers and ranchers up to 120% of their outstanding loans to alleviate […]
Hundreds of MT Miners Laid Off, Sen. Daines Proposes Legislation in Response
Last week, Sibanye-Stillwater announced to their employees that they would have to layoff around 700 employees starting on November 12. The mine, which produces palladium and platinum, cited a massive drop in the trading price of palladium, as two years ago it was traded at $2,305 per ounce, and through the first half of this […]
Conservative Corner: KIND PEOPLE
My wife has a card sent from one of her friends with a cover that says, “Kind people are the best kind of people.” This friend happens to be from Minnesota and is obviously one of the ‘Minnesota Nice’ people herself. We have some neighbors down the street who moved to Billings from Minnesota. These […]

Tester Back-and-Forth on V.P. Harris
Recently, Senator Jon Tester has been attempting to distance himself from Vice President Harris’s presidential bid, having refused to endorse her so far despite her being the presumptive nominee of his party. Tester is in a political pickle, as he hopes to keep his seat in a state that will likely go to President Trump […]
