    Nov 3, 2022

    Support for Bill Burt If you feel everything is going along just fine in the Justice of the Peace field in Missoula County, then you should vote for the status quo in the upcoming election.

He has all the traits and background that would enable him to utilize the current jail diversion program without endangering our communities by...

    Nov 3, 2022

The laws were designed to ensure students can speak freely on campus, participate in the exchange of ideas, and experience the full benefits of Title IX’s equal protection for female students. However, instead of enforcing these new laws and protecting our students’ constitutional rights, the Montana Federation of Public Employees (MF...

In this phrase, Jesus teaches two important realities: 1. satan and evil exists, and 2. It is the Lord who triumphs over and delivers us from evil. Through the Lord’s prayer we learn to look to the Lord and trust in His deliverance over...
