County Withdraws from PL280

Today, November 30, the Lake County Commissioners sent a letter to the Governor with examples of “questions or situations that need clarity as all impacted parties move through the passage of jurisdiction from the County to the State”.

The commissioners spoke to a full meeting room at 10 am this morning, and many officials were available to answer questions from concerned citizens. Sheriff Bell as well as CSKT Chief of Police Craig Couture assured that all 911 calls will be answered just as before. They will continue to make sure that everyone is safe, regardless of jurisdiction.

Solutions are needed to replace the system that was not working for Lake County. A lawsuit filed by inmates has cost the county upwards of $1 million, which has to be added to the $4 million of annual costs of PL280 – a bill footed by local taxpayers. Property taxes have seen hikes up to 27%, as mentioned by a taxpayer at the meeting.

The question was posed why we cannot use models in place in other Montana counties with reservations. County Attorney Lapotka explained that the uniqueness of Lake County requires different solutions, since only 20% of the population consists of tribal members.

The public is encouraged to write Gov Gianforte’s office with constructive suggestions on the matter. The Governor vetoed the bill put forward by the legislature regarding withdrawal, which was backed by tribal representatives also.

Biden Has Left America’s Veterans Behind

Service members, veterans, and Gold Star families deserve a better commander-in-chief than Joe Biden.
What you need to know:

The bottom line:America’s veterans put their lives on the line to defend our country and protect our freedoms, and they deserve better leadership and accountability than Joe Biden.

Third GOP Debate

At the Third Republican Primary Debate in Miami, Florida, voters were presented with a clear choice of winning Republican policies vs. the failed Biden-Harris agenda.
What you need to know:
  • Republican leadership in the White House will get our country back on track.
  • Our Republican nominee will be the next President of the United States, and this debate showcased many of our great Republican candidates and their ideas for the future of our country.
  • For 3 years, Joe Biden and Jon Tester have delivered crisis after crisis. Voters are ready for change.
  • Republican candidates on the debate stage highlighted their plan to restore America’s standing in the world and support our allies including Israel, secure our border and protect our communities, and jumpstart our economy.
  • Now more than ever, the Republican Party must stand with our ally Israel and denounce anti-Semitism in our own country and around the world.
  • Polling repeatedly shows Republican candidates and their policies are what Americans are looking for.
    • 76% of the country thinks the nation is on the wrong track.
    • The Real Clear Politics average of polling on Joe Biden’s foreign policy record is underwater at 57% disapproval.
    • A recent CNN poll showed only 36% view Joe Biden as an “effective global leader.”
    • In a Fox News poll 71% of registered voters surveyed said the current levels of security at the border under Joe Biden are not strict enough.

The bottom line:In November of 2024, voters will send a Republican President to the White House and U.S. Senator from Montana to D.C. who will get our nation back on the right path after 3 years of a disastrous Biden-Harris administration.

Editor’s note in the November edition (note the last paragraph with what you can do too!):

 

What Just Happened?

October was filled with events that have led us to write in this edition of LCP almost exclusively about threats to our world from those who have sworn vengeance upon Israel and the United States and upon Jews and Christians. Included among those are members of US Congress, commonly referred to as “The Squad.”

These elected representatives – you know who they are, no need to name them – have been loudly defending Hamas and its atrocities, condemning Israel and making false claims against its defense forces, and calling for the US to provide a haven for Palestinians to escape the war. Each of us has a front seat to watch the loud-mouthed antics of The Enemy Within. If you can, please get a copy of An Explanatory Memorandum from the Archives of the Muslim Brotherhood in America (available on Amazon for $5.50) and read it slowly and thoroughly.

It is a playbook describing intentions and methods for destroying the United States by infiltrating at all levels, most critically in government. The infiltration has been brewing for at least 20 years and, as of 2023, is remarkably effective. Most of the US population is ignorant of the infiltration and its effects. You don’t have to be part of that crowd.

This is a quote from the Explanatory Memorandum:

“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

You saw what was done in Israel on October 7th. It can happen here. The groundwork has been laid, and their plans are progressing. We are vulnerable and weak. The outcome will depend upon the citizenry, starting with YOU. We will do our best over the following months to help alert you to things you need to be aware of and things you can do to stem the tide of this assault on our country.

One thing you can do right now is make sure that your elected representatives in both state and federal governments are working to protect us. Watch to see that none of the “squad” members serve on committees of importance (like Omar served on the Foreign Affairs Committee until February of this year), and contact your reps if you see anything like that being threatened. Also, pressure all of them to SECURE OUR BORDERS. Call them or send letters – emails are not effective! It’s time for us to get to work!

Other News

The Free Press is a media company founded by former New York Times editor and journalist Bari Weiss.

TFP articles tip left, with many written from a Jewish perspective you won’t find elsewhere. The commentary on the invasion of Israel and the ongoing war with Hamas has been excellent.

We recommend this particular piece as it is representative of many we’ve read from authors whose eyes are being opened to the dangerous ideology of progressivism.

As the U.S. House continues to work on appropriations, now is a good time to let our representatives know we need to get the U.S. out of the UN and get the UN out of the U.S.

Watch “Police State”

“Police State” is now available on Rumble, SalemNow, and

Epoch TV.

Have you ever wondered if America is becoming a police state?

In a new film, Dinesh D’Souza and Dan Bongino expose the chilling degree to which America is already there, with surveillance of citizens and mass censorship.
“Police State” is a movie that I never wanted to make, because I never wanted America to get to a point where a movie like this needed to be made. I feel like the animal that alerts the herd to approaching danger, so we can take precautionary steps before it is too late.”
– Dinesh D’Souza
