________________________________________________________________________ It appears our Great Falls City Commissioner Houck has become the self-appointed arbiter of civility, political responsibility and justice. We’re in trouble now. Houck lectured Senator Daines on Facebook. She opines that he doesn’t speak on behalf of the majority of Montanans and that he certainly doesn’t represent the views and wishes of…
________________________________________________________________________ Recently someone brought to my attention some comments on the Kavanaugh nomination written by a so-called “leader” in Great Falls, Tracy Houck, and posted last week on Senator Steve Daines’ public forum page. Here’s a screenshot of her comments: After seeing her comments here’s what I wrote on my FB page in response,…
________________________________________________________________________ If it’s so hip, edgy, cool and progressive for some to hate all those evil corporations out there then why all of a sudden is it so hip, edgy, cool and progressive to love the Nike corporation?

Some of the comments are positive and in support of the President while others are downright vile and vicious in their hatefulness.

From his shameless sycophancy to Big Pharma, to his flip-flopping on DACA, to his #Resistance-styled obstructionism…

How spineless. Bozeman will not become a sanctuary city. This evening, the Bozeman City Commission instead passed a mayoral proclamation declaring Bozeman a “safe, welcoming, and inclusive community,” to the chagrin of a handful of residents. The proclamation reads: WHEREAS, for more than twenty years the City of Bozeman has passed Resolutions declaring itself to be a…
A philosopher once said that we are really three quite different people; the one we see as our self, the one others see, and the one we really are. All very different and the first two are merely reflections. The recent discourse concerning the Q & A session between representatives of the Great Falls Public Schools and…
