Helena

Here's what stood out to me with all of these games, and all of these victories. You notice it wasn't simply about getting a trophy. It wasn't about simply being declared a winner. It was about having the chance to EARN IT.

"What did you do this weekend?" That's a good water cooler question many of us ask at the office on a Monday, right? It's also the question posed by the Montana Army National Guard.

Right now, the Montana State Legislature meets every other year for up to 90 days. Should they meet on an annual basis instead? I caught up with Senate Majority Leader Fred Thomas (R-Stevensville) for his take.

A Helena elementary schoolteacher, busted with several hardcore drugs like meth, heroin, and LSD in his possession is getting off easy with merely a deferred sentence. And this isn't just any schoolteacher- he's the husband of the statewide Democrat candidate for superintendent of public instruction in Montana.

I mean, it's a big enough story that an elementary teacher got busted with those kinds of drugs to begin with. But then you add the fact that the teacher in question is married to a statewide Democrat party candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Donald Trump, Jr. is coming back to Montana later this week, according to sources I spoke with inside the gubernatorial campaign of Congressman Greg Gianforte (R-MT). The president's son is planning a hunting trip in state along with attending a fundraiser in support of Gianforte's gubernatorial bid.

A group of Montana soldiers will soon be headed overseas on a military deployment in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, and Operation Spartan Shield.

What started as an idea to honor fallen warriors in Montana, is now coming to fruition. Thanks to Navy veteran Rob Creel and "Bridges for the Fallen," a bridge near Helena will soon be named after an Iraq war veteran who paid the ultimate sacrifice.

"At age 33, I had been a life-long Republican. I worked for, what many might describe as the “dark side and/or Darth Vaders of politics”, including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Sarah Palin. I was conservative in my upbringing, values, and beliefs. I stayed true to those feelings yet still found myself drawn to Joe Biden. Our affable, blunder-prone, yet seemingly oh-so-real Vice President."

Missoula Police got a call after 11:00 a.m. Wednesday morning, January 24, about a local break-in.
