What is the Montana Public Service Commission and Why Should You Care?
As a candidate for Public Service Commission (PSC), one question I hear a lot is, “What does the Public Service Commission actually do?” As a primer, I am going to briefly explain how the PSC was created, how it is governed, and the minimum duties of the PSC. Regulation of public utilities in Montana has…
Do We Really Need More Passive Acquiescence?
After 12 years as Flathead County Commissioner, Pam Holmquist is seeking re-election to yet another 6-year term to the Flathead Board of County Commissioners, which would make Holmquist’s total tenure on the board about 18 years should she win re-election. Ronalee Skees, a member of the Flathead County Health Board, is seerking election to House…
People’s Marxist Republic of Missoula
Citizens of the City and County of Missoula, it is time to publicly acknowledge that the City of Missoula is being run by the Marxists of the Marxist Democrat Party.

Dr. Annie Bukacek’s careful attention to detail and the voracious and meticulous research she has done during her time as a member of the Flathead County Health Board are notable.

Rossiter: Non-Marxist America, We Have A Problem
For those of us who have rejected Marxism, we have a major problem. It isn’t a new problem, but it is a problem we have heretofore chosen to fight in the wrong way. That problem is how to communicate with the rest of the world. We can’t expect the lame stream media to communicate anything…
Mark Zuckerberg Illegally “Friended” Montana in the 2020 Election
This op-ed was first published in Last Chance Patriots newsletter. It has been over 16 months since the 2020 General Election and the results continue to be investigated around the country, particularly in conservative trending states which unexpectedly turned blue in the 2020 election.

Rossiter: Drinking the Kool-Aid
For years, I and others have used the term “drinking the kool-aid.” Little did I know there is actually a more formal term that addresses this phenomena. The formal name is mass formation psychosis (MFP). Google it, and you will find numerous articles. Not only that, but I learned just how insidious this psychosis is…

Per MT Law, Vaccinating Children Without Parental Consent Can Result in Civil Liability or Criminal Prosecution
This past Saturday, Lewis and Clark Public Health Department advertised a COVID-19 vaccine clinic at East Helena Public High School aimed at children aged 5-11-years-old. The ad indicated that proof of the child’s name and age was not required and children need only be accompanied by a “caregiver.” How do government employees at a clinic…
Passing the Buck on Responsibility
“Lawyers are a useful tool. When you feel like you are in a bind, talking to the right lawyer can be such a breath of fresh air. It can be a conversation from which you walk away saying “Phew! I have options I didn’t even realize I had.” Life feels better with options. Life can…
You Can’t Fool Mother Nature
A few decades ago there was an advertising campaign that used the tag line “You can’t fool Mother Nature.” It seems like our government and much of the world does not understand that principle. So called “experts” tried to create a treatment they labeled “a vaccine” for COVID 19 that did not involve reinforcing the…
Missoula Has A Marxist Government
In words that could only be appreciated from John Wayne as Sargent Striker in the movie Sands of Iwo Jima, “Life is tough, but it is tougher when you’re stupid.” Most Montanans pride themselves on not being stupid. However, it seems Missoulians do not understand that principle. Missoula voters have managed to elect and keep electing Marxists…
