Editors note: The ‘bootlicking’ image used here is a screenshot from a video Taylor posted on one of her public Facebook pages in which she attempts to smear Great Falls city commissioner Rick Tryon as a Nazi/racist/fascist. The image is not manipulated or PhotoShopped in any way as Taylor has previously tried to imply. As…
I have been asked several times recently about the new Great Falls fireworks restriction ordinance that voters will be voting on in this municipal election. If a majority votes ‘YES’, then the new restrictions would mean, basically, that “…fireworks designed to leave the ground, such as rockets,shells, cakes, missiles, and roman candles; and 2) fireworksdesigned…
E-City Beat recently received a photo of Great Falls Mayor candidate Jasmine Taylor holding a half-full weed pipe and lighter – apparently this photo has been making the rounds on social media. That Taylor is a weed user is not too surprising, recreational marijuana use is legal and there are adults in Great Falls who…
It’s no longer surprising to anyone in Great Falls, or America, how far the ‘progressive left’ has devolved into hatred and vile political speech which, as we have all seen recently, incites violence. And it’s especially sad and disappointing to see what the once commonsense, working class local Democrat party has become. I’m talking about…

This action was taken after Ms….
Jasmine Taylor has recently assured us that she refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance because she won’t say anything she doesn’t believe in. So that means we can all believe that she really means it when she says over and over again that we should ‘defund the police’. “Everything about our country’s policing system…
Of the many things that disqualify Jasmine Taylor from serving as mayor of Great Falls, in my opinion, one of the most glaring is her refusal to say the Pledge of Allegiance at public meetings and events. Of course, every citizen has the absolute right to remain seated and silent during the Pledge of Allegiance…
Over the weekend I received some pictures of a protest in Great Falls on Friday, June 6. The protest was supposedly to support veterans and was promoted as an event on Facebook. The image on the left is the one that is most concerning in my opinion. I have blurred out the faces here because…
On Sunday I posted on my Facebook page some local cost-of-living and income data I got from an AI inquiry, as a conversation starter. I said in the post, “This isn’t an in-depth analysis, just a quick look, but what do we make of this?” and got quite a bit of feedback, including a correction…
