The moon will be full on January 28! It is called the Wolf Moon. I just love the fact that no matter where you are on Earth, you all look at the same moon if it's not overcast! I was talking to a guy on a helpdesk and during the downtime, while waiting for the computer to load he asked me what I was doing in Montana. I told him I was watching the moon and Mars. He said, “Oh I don't think we have that here!” That was a good chuckle! Have you noticed that the daylight is longer? Monday, Dixie Sto...

Less than 36 hours. That's all it took for Biden to kill American energy security and independence.

He's right. America has an energy demand that must be met. It will either be met by American workers or...
Republican lawmakers wasted little time in getting down to business on one of their top priorities: arming Montana college students. Less than two weeks after the Legislature began its session, a bill that would allow concealed carry of firearms on public college campuses passed a vote by the GOP-controlled House. The bill now proceeds to the Senate. The idea is that armed students could prevent mass shooting incidents on campus. No one would start popping caps in Abnormal Psychology 101...
