WATCH FOR TRUMP RALLY IN RED LODGE, SATURDAY AUGUST 3RD!

In reading “What’s in the Border Bill and Why Won’t All of Congress Read It?” in CC News last week, Jon Tester proclaims, “That is patently false,” when referring to the 5000 people the bill allows to cross the border per day, before “emergency measures” can be enacted and they can be turned away. I found this astounding as House Speaker Mike Johnson has stated the bill is dead on arrival in the House due to it essentially allowing the continued invasion of our country with 1,825,000 allowed in annually through this article in the bill. Wondering who in fact was telling the truth here, I decided to look for myself. There in the bill’s summary, on page 12 it states: 

Sec. 3301. Border emergency authority. • Creates Sec. 244B of the Immigration and Nationality Act which grants the Secretary of Homeland Security new emergency authority to respond to extraordinary migration circumstances. The “border emergency authority” may be exercised if the 7-day average number of cumulative encounters of inadmissible aliens is between 4,000 and 5,000 per day and must be exercised if the 7-day average is above 5,000 per day. Exercise of the authority 13/19 is also required if the number of encounters on a single day exceeds 8,500.  

There you have it. Tester is lying.  

This brings me to our article in this paper last month, Try the Tried,  wherein it was explained that the motto of all good Progressives is The End Justifies the Means (read Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, THE Progressive handbook). A professed Progressive (a derivative of Marxism) will lie, cheat, steal, even kill (Stalin exterminated millions) to achieve the end they desire, believing their end to be so wonderful and good that it justifies doing whatever it takes to get there. Knowing the Progressive movement is alive and well in Jon Tester (one needs only to see how he votes consistently with Joe Biden and his lousy policies that uphold Progressivism and tear at the fabric of our Republic) why would anyone  think he is someone to be trusted? I literally laugh out loud at his TV commercials seeing these poor “useful idiots” –to quote Stalin– they’ve paid to sit there and profess Jon’s trustworthiness.  

There is no place for trust in the Progressives, unless you trust that they will act to further Progressivism. Yes, in this case you can trust Jon Tester. But the question here is, why do these people want open borders that have set in motion an invasion of our country? Why do they want to overtax our school system, our welfare system, our law enforcement, our social services, and generally jeopardize the safety of taxpayers, encourage human trafficking, and bait every poor addict or adventuresome kid  in our country with lethal Chinese  Fentanyl? Is anyone still willing to believe there are good intentions here? Do you still wonder if letting in thousands of military age single men from China and other countries who want to do us harm is a good idea? Do you still refuse to see that the Mexican cartels are quickly becoming far too wealthy nations among us?  

Jon Tester has played a significant role in all these treacheries and what we need to be asking is, why? 

Tester is relying on Americans’  ignorance, our apathy and party loyalty (huge sums of campaign contributions) to ensure his re-election. This open border business is a blight on our country (that’s being kind) and it is only a matter of time, says the FBI, until something tragic in nature happens to our sitting duck country as a result of this massive invasion. He is, by his support of this Border Bill, continuing to support the ever growing wobbliness of a country once strong with resolve for safety.  In our dealings both at home and on an international level, we have seen a deterioration of American safety due to the nature of Progressivism, saying one thing to the people to get them to believe their supposed good intentions (we are a welcoming country and everyone deserves asylum), all the while lying in order to get a new Democrat Progressive voting bloc established in our country (the massive throng of illegals praising Joe Biden as they pour through our borders). And that, unfortunately, could be the least harmful of their intentions with this open border.  

As a voter you have a choice, to continue to put your loyal Democrat head in the sand and vote to continue these policies for which Americans pay a heavy price, or you can retire Tester in the next election. And please, pray we do get to the November elections. We are. 

Cynthia Marble 

President, Carbon County Republican Women 

by Cherie Mondragon, CCRW Secretary

The guest speaker for Carbon County Republican Women’s October 4th meeting at Fort Rockvale was Starr Emery representing Moms for Liberty in Billings. She introduced herself as a “Mom” currently having nine foster children in her home (all of whom she’ll try to adopt), a volunteer fire fighter in the Shepherd area, and a Christian. She has also returned to being a student, striving for a doctorate in mental health, and soon she will be running for the State House of Representatives, advocating for the rights of families and children.

She originally became involved with Moms for Liberty because she was asked to run for the school board in the Billings School District. She saw that Billings’ schools are basically liberal and children are being indoctrinated with many things sexual in nature. This was evidenced when her family took in a young teenage girl who had been sexually assaulted, had gone through a lot of trauma and was confused about her sexuality and her gender. She was confused by the conversations she was having with her teachers about her problems. Since living with Starr and her family, this young lady has been adopted by them. She now fully embraces her female gender, has accepted Christ as her savior, is no longer having anxiety and depression, has faced her attacker (who is currently serving 100 years in prison), and has become a strong, powerful 17 year-old who is going into law enforcement when she graduates.

Starr is comfortable with public speaking and noted she’s not afraid to tell others that they have to stand up against the school system, teach their children what is good for them and not leave it to the present day educators. She reminded us that it is our tax dollars that pay for the school system that educates our children who will be making decisions for our generation and generations to come.

Moms for Liberty is a large national organization; they have 299 chapters in 46 states with over 120,000 members. This group in Yellowstone County is the first and currently the only chapter in Montana. It began in October of 2022 and is comprised simply of parents that care about the education of our students. Their objective is to fight for the survival of America by unifying, educating, and empowering parents to defend their parental rights in all levels of government.

This group has been successful in the legislature as an oppositional force countering the teacher’s union. Some of the bills they advocated for in the last session were: HB562, the community choice charter bill, HB393, students with special needs should have equal opportunity, HB676, revised law clarifying fundamental parental rights and HB234, the obscenity bill to eliminate reading materials from the schools that are harmful to children. All of these bills passed. SB99 prevents minors from “transitioning” through surgical procedures and puberty blockers without parental consent. A liberal judge has blocked that bill.

They have also successfully advocated for individuals to run for school boards in School District 2.

Currently two board members, Starr Emery and Alba Pimentel from Moms for Liberty sit on a parental advisory committee for School District 2. They are working on improving the special education department involving special needs students. These students have been prime targets for gender ideology and have not been.
