My fellow Republicans,
If you want to practice what you preach, i.e. Republican Party is the party that honors the Constitution, freedom of conscience, the Rule of Law, and the Will of the People, please start now by reading Article III Section 3 of our constitution:
Section 3. Oath of office. Members of the legislature and all executive, ministerial and judicial officers, shall take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation, before they enter upon the duties of their offices: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, protect and defend the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the state of Montana, and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity (so help me God)." No other oath, declaration, or test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust.
No other oath means no other oath.
Respecting the Rule of Law means respecting the provisions of Montana law until you work hard enough to get it changed.
Freedom of conscience means not forcing someone to subsidize speech they disagree with.
And respecting the Will of the People means you respect the rights of voters of other districts to choose for themselves who shall represent them. You can encourage people to vote for a certain candidate but you don't get do overs when you lose.
These new Bylaws were clearly intended to give the Executive Board the power to remove people they didn't like from office.
I am a conservative because I believe that the power SHOULD rest with the people. By that I mean the voters of each and every district. Not 12 people on the State E board who can't pay their bills but want to sit in a dark room making decisions on which elections should be overturned.
I respect your voters and you should respect mine. But many have let power go to their heads and have forgotten first principles.
Start now by reading the Constitution.

Let's say you are a builder of houses with a great idea. You can do a poor job – a pipe that leaks, a circuit that shorts out, a roof that has to be replaced in a year – and then get contracted to fix things, providing a permanent income stream.
Great racket huh?
You say it would not work, because the owners would litigate against such a scam company and drive it to bankruptcy. That's true. It would not work.
Now compare to pharmaceutical companies and the medical system generally. The business model above works for them because of liability shields, 3rd-party payments, forced subscription services, tax subsidies, and business cartels, among other scams.
This is why the medical system is so screwed up. They are the housing developers who build things to break so that they can profit from pretending to fix the things they made to break. They get away with it.
Trump will always blame someone else. That's who he is. I voted for him anyway as the alternative was worse. #mtpol wsj.com/politics/elections/a…

Do you understand what happens when we deport ALL the illegal immigrants?
- Wages increase
- Rent prices fall
- Traffic decreases
- Insurance rates fall
- Insurance rates drop
- Housing prices plummet
- Welfare spending plummets
- Hospital overcrowding eases
- Crime dramatically decreases
- Classrooms become less crowded
- Teenagers can get good jobs again
- Court systems become less burdened
- Competition for starter homes drops
- Emergency rooms become less strained
- Nearly all prices on everything drops
- All government services are less strained
Literally every single thing in life gets better if we just deport them all.

U.S. overall — National brands and imports (Stella Artois, Bud Light, etc.) dominate search interest in most states. True local craft beers rarely lead statewide search rankings.
Note: Based primarily on Google search interest data for prominent beers (Food & Wine / similar analyses). This measures online popularity more than actual sales volume. A few states show regional favorites (Fat Tire in Colorado, Samuel Adams in Massachusetts, Hamm’s in Minnesota, Rainier in Washington, Budweiser in Missouri). Actual best-selling beers by volume are often different and more dominated by light lagers.

Endorsed by AOC and Pete Buttigieg. I-194 silences Montana small businesses and is headed straight for a court fight. Vote NO on I-194 ❌

If Fauci goes to prison, Adam Schiff gets raided and Ilhan Omar gets deported, I just might start believing in the justice system again.

Imagine a world where despite all of the evidence suggesting that @AbdulElSayed is a seditious enemy of the foundational principles of the United States, Americans will still vote for him because they hate Republicans. It is astounding.

This right here is why homes are so expensive in America
Foreigners Bohar Bhaji and Manpreet Di walk into their new home in Fresno, California
They were able to score this home for home for $593K with a 5.65% fixed interest rate. After walking into the home they all touch the foot of the head of household
These are our homes in America. Imagine how much more affordable homes would be if Americans were competing with 10s of millions of foreigners
This has to stop. Vote Red
Montana now has more urban residents than rural. But you wouldn't know it by looking at our state tax and budget which serves primarily as a vehicle to take income tax from people in urban counties and spend it as subsidies in rural counties. Thanks for nothing @BlissLlew #mtpol

NON-CITIZENS WIRED $56 BILLION BACK HOME LAST YEAR ALONE.
THAT'S AFTER THEIR KIDS GOT FREE SCHOOL,
FREE LUNCHES, AND FREE MEDICAL CARE PAID FOR BY YOU!

It’s the most American place left in America.
There’s truly nothing more purely Americana than the frontier spirit of the Rocky Mountain West.
And that’s why NPR, US News, & the New York Times keep running stories encouraging leftists and their third-world armies to flood in.

If you think Democrats care about lowering the price of gas, just remember that on Day One of the Biden admin, two of the first things they did were cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and halt all new oil and gas leases.
Jeff Essmann retweeted
Time for Lyndon Johnson's Daisy ad, interspersed with IRGC's "death to America", CNN "days from a nuclear weapon", and a mushroom cloud. The whining about gas or diesel or any other price needs to be countered with why we need to temporarily sacrifice. The greatest generation vs the young woman who lives in dread over a coffee shop closing in one of the safest places on earth.
