Montana Forest Action Plan is not based on science The Montana Forest Action Plan (MFAP), described in the Dec. 30 Chronicle article, is a political document not a science-based document. The term “forest health” was not developed based on science and ecology but from a forest products industry wish list based on economic falsehoods. It […]

HB 102 would allow students who have concealed-carry permits to carry guns on Montana’s college campuses. I have engaged students in class open discussions about this idea. I respected and listened to their views and arguments and I can see the point of those who say that people who intend to do harm with guns […]

Proving something does not exist, such as election fraud, involves use of the Null Hypothesis. I have always been suspicious of elections, but with all the eyeballs watching 2020, there is no way fraud occurred; no credible evidence exists, or it would have been presented to the Court.

Daines and Congressman Rosendale, take responsibility for their words and actions we will not be able to heal the division in our country. This deep division puts us at […]

President, lawmakers deserve blame for siege A fundamental truth about human behavior is that words have consequences, especially when uttered by elected leaders and amplified by media outlets. The world saw this in real time as pro-Trump extremists overran the U.S. Capitol after attending the president’s vile and lie-filled speech. But, beyond the president’s inexcusable […]
