Teachers Being Taught Radical Dogma

“Leftist indoctrination in teaching programs is visible across the nation… ‘in education school you have to sit through endless ideological indoctrination, and the whole experience will be of little value to you as a teacher’…”

No wonder we are seeing strange behaviors to perpetuate a narrative, such as ‘No Kings’, attacks on law enforcement, looting and pillaging, etc.

Will CSKT Contracts Be Exposed?

On October 20, O’Keefe Media Group posted a video on X revealing a $100 billion federal contracting scam involving minority-owned companies, namely Native American.

The related story by the Gateway Pundit gave rise to the following question:

Who Hates Who? Astroturfing Confuses Paid (?) Actors

Lake County residents – NOT astroturfing – do not need to get paid to show love for the nation or the values it was founded on. They are frequently seen with their flags and posters in downtown Polson.

It is safe to say that astroturfing is being employed when paying (?) protesters to tour Montana on a beautiful day. The intention seems to be to cause a division where there should not be one. Signs held in some places were seen saying, for example, “Hate never made America great”. Agreed. “[Follow] the Constitution”. Agreed. This time around, instructions to the protestors must have included to bring US flags and NOT display them upside down (?)

Do these people know why they are there? Some answers: “Trump’s a [expletive].” Reporter: “Why is that?” Answer: “I don’t know… We don’t like him. That’s the word around here.” Wow. How about this one: “No clue at all. Just go with what everyone else is saying.” Another wow. Maybe we should hope that those clips were all staged or AI created… ?

Either way, this statement by a former presidential candidate seems to be another example of what astroturfing can accomplish.

Thankfully, plenty of material for eye-opening and humorous videos and posts were provided by the NGO organized events:

Matt Regier, MT Senate President Has Encouraging Words

In his opinion published by the Missoulian, Matt Regier says

Real Republicans defend the party’s voters from swamp bosses.

‘…. Under new leadership, the MTGOP is focused on protecting Republican voters and questioning entrenched Helena “Swamp Bosses” who have abused the Republican brand to maintain power in state government. Heading into the 2026 midterms and 2027 session, Republicans are focused on addressing property taxes, judicial transparency, and election integrity – priorities that would be further along if not for obstruction by Democrats and the self-proclaimed Republicans who empowered them…’

This article is a reminder of a strategy of the left: demoralization. Do not let them accomplish this goal! Stay focused, America First Patriots, and keep fighting for policies that will help America prosper.

Your Future Is in the Crosshairs

Information shared at the Lake County Republican Women’s meeting on August 4 was an eye-opener for anyone who hasn’t already looked into the implications of the proposed PROTECT Act.

Those participating in the meeting – a larger crowd than usual – watched the very enlightening video presentation by Linda Sauer, a founding member of Montana Citizens Action Group. After the video, Tracy Sharp, Representative for HD12, added mind blowing insight into what the PROTECT Act actually adds up to – another attack on the Republic. We were not only given information – this is a call to action. Citizens need to stand up for their rights and the Republican form of government. ONE nation under God.

Linda Sauer’s Presentation on PROTECT Act

A text version of the points Linda is making can also be found in the July edition of the Last Chance Patriot Newsletter. Link to the newsletter HERE.

Links to contact information have been posted under “Take Action”, or, as Linda Sauer says, you can ask MTCAG for them by email: citizens@mtcag.org . Always remember to be polite in your communications.

Note that most committee members also have accounts on X:

@RepJeffHurd; @RepAmata; @RepMcDowell; #RepTimWahlberg (no account found); @Jim_Jordan; @RepLaMalfa; @RepMikeKennedy; @lisamurkowski; @SenJohnHoeven; @SenatorCantwell; @SenMullin; @SenTinaSmith; @JerryMoran; @SenBrianSchatz; @SteveDaines; @SenCortezMasto; @SenatorRounds; @SenatorLujan

We were informed that US Representative Ryan Zinke HAS withdrawn his support for HB 3773, but while thanking him, it doesn’t hurt to ask him to put pressure on others to do the same! In the US Senate, Senator Daines is apparently still pushing forward on the issue (SB 1967). Hopefully, we can get him to change his mind as well.

Slides shown by Tracy Sharp gave listeners serious pause.  If there ever was a time for grassroots to activate, it is now!

Legislature Overrides Governor’s Veto

The Daily Interlake wrote:

State will reimburse jails holding inmates awaiting mental health evaluations

“The Montana Legislature voted to override Gov. Greg Gianforte’s veto of a bill that would use state funds to reimburse counties some of the cost of holding inmates in local detention facilities while awaiting mental health evaluations or treatments.

House Bill 643, brought by Rep. Tracy Sharp, R-Polson, was seen by many as a stop-gap measure to address rising costs to counties that have seen increased mental health issues arising in civil and criminal cases.”

Standing for America

From America’s Future – the newsletter:

“The violence that began in Los Angeles last week, as rioters took to the streets to destroy property and threaten law-abiding citizens and law enforcement officers, has spread to New York, Chicago, Seattle, and Portland, among others. The purpose of the protests is to thwart Trump’s central campaign promise, which is indeed the cornerstone of his second term: to deport the tens of millions of foreigners who entered America illegally. […]

More importantly, there are the political officials who incentivized their crime by promising them healthcare, welfare, housing, and other freebies. Free for them, that is, and a great economic and political benefit to the corrupt ruling class that brought them here to suppress American wages and replace an electorate consisting of free-born men and women with a cohort of clients. But it costs us dearly, not just in dollars but in dignity, too. […]

And that’s why we elected Donald Trump — to help us get back our country, to make America great again. So we stand with him against the mobs backed by the political and corporate establishment, and we stand with him against the media attacking him for doing what’s right for America. […]”

‘America’s Worst Court’

Great reminder from a Lake County resident about why Montana citizens need to continue to fight judicial tyranny.

In an article from August 28, 2024, Mark Pulliam with The Federalist wrote:

“One elected official, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, has been suffering for bravely confronting the state court’s wrath and incompetence. Knudsen, a Republican, has become the victim of lawfare for simply doing his job — defending state laws in court.” Read the full article: How ‘America’s Worst Court’ Blocks Judicial Reform
