MEGA GALLERY: Billings’ Bike Night 2024 is a Wrap
The Billings Bike Night 2024 season came to a close Wednesday night at the Reno Club with a fantastic party. Every week since late June (with two exceptions), motorcycle enthusiasts from Billings and the surrounding area gathered midweek for live music, great food, cold drinks, and plenty of camaraderie. Riders...
Hospitals Across Montana Sound the Alarm, We’re NOT Closing
We are NOT closing. We are NOT closing. Hospitals across Montana are sounding the alarm, reassuring their residents that they are not at risk of shutting down. This, after the campaign backing Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) paid for highly misleading advertisements in local newspapers. A hospital in the small town...
Where Are The 5 Best Pumpkin Patches In Montana?
I love fall. It's generally cooler weather, the leaves are changing, the holidays are just around the corner and it's pumpkin spice everything. Especially after this brutally hot summer we had, it's nice to have temperatures in the 70's. Check Out These Highly Rated Pet Friendly Hotels In Great Falls.
Starbuck Breaks Down the BS Attack on Montana Firefighting Biz
The video below is a must-watch takedown of this effort to try and destroy a Montana firefighting business that was started by a Navy SEAL here in Montana. Why are Democrat operatives trying to destroy this business? Because it was started by now US Senate candidate Tim Sheehy. Robby Starbuck...
Why Billings Flyers Head to Bozeman and Drivers Dream of RVs
Do you travel as much as you want to? And when you go, what's your favorite way to travel?. For people who live in towns where airports are major hubs, your choices are different than our situation here in Billings. For instance, you can get a flight from Seattle to Cancun, Mexico, for $447.00. It's significantly more to get to Cancun from Billings.
Chronic Absenteeism: Did We All Hit Snooze on School and Work?
We've already planted the seed, and now it seems it's too late to turn back. Data from over 40 states shows chronic absenteeism is far above pre-pandemic levels. The COVID farce that was imposed on America will forever be felt—not just medically, but economically and academically as well. The states that didn't tell all of the school kids to stay home are so far above the curve.
You Can Help Landscape to Honor Veterans in Billings
Cemeteries are solemn places to remember passed loved ones, and more so for Veterans who served in the Armed Forces. Patriots Day reminds us of the profound impact of September 11th, and many in uniform have been lost since then. We can extend our gratitude and patriotism at a special event next Wednesday the 18th.
How Bad is the Border? Lifesaving Tools Now in Montana Schools
How bad is the wide open southern border? So bad that the cartel fueled invasion of drugs is now leading to lifesaving tools being installed in Montana schools. Montana's Attorney General Austin Knudsen (R-MT) stopped by our radio studios recently. He dropped in just before heading to Senior High School in Billings where they officially unveiled the naloxone kits for schools here in Montana. The kits will be placed in middle and high schools across the state. (Naloxone is also known as Narcan and is a medicine used to reverse opioid overdoses)
Montana National Guard Pushing College Students to New Heights
Students are rappelling off the rooftops at the University of Montana in Missoula and Montana Tech in Butte. This is pretty cool to see what the Montana Army National Guard is doing on our college campuses. After the 9/11 terror attacks, I joined Army ROTC at the University of Montana...
Wyoming Trivia for Montanans…Generated by A.I.
The evening after posting ChatGPT's cowboy poetry, I wondered if the AI can generate trivia questions. I host a game at the GrandStand Sports Bar, and the prep before takes me at least two hours per category, and there are four rounds each week. So this is an experiment. The...
Why is MT’s Jon Tester Quiet as a Church Mouse?
No, I didn't watch it. I didn't have to. I knew exactly what that debate was going to be like last night and I already know everything about the two candidates I need to know. It's September 11th you should already know by now as well. The only one out...
Nearly a Quarter of MT Voters are Inactive. Here’s How to Check Your Status
Spend more than two minutes on social media and you'll start to assume that everyone is consumed with politics. Despite the overload of political advertising and memes (frequently half-truths or outright lies) burning like wildfire across the internet, it turns out that many people aren't passionate about politics. Shocking, right?
Save Billings Lives, Relationships One Less Phone at a Time
The technology that we've got is great a far as convenience goes but I worry about younger folks that spend every waking moment with their faces stuck in their phones. When I take my daughter to dinner I always tell her that I just want her attention for 45 minutes so we can can spend some quality time together. And at those meals (which is every one) I take a picture of her on her phone and send it to her. It aggravates her, but at least I get her attention for the rest of the meal.
Hip to Be at the Spitz in Downtown Billings
When entering Spitz Mediterranean Street Food at 313 N Broadway, my first impression of the business was "Trendy." The decor is colorful and artsy. Bundles of shop lights with intentional tangles of wires illuminated tables with stool-like seating. A clever addition to the dining area is a selection of tabletop games to play with drinks or during meals.
This Beautiful Hot Springs in Montana Could Reopen Soon
Montana is full of iconic landmarks, and sadly, much of the state's history has vanished throughout the years. Growth and modernization have changed Montana and some places that were once loved by Montanans are long gone. Is This Iconic Montana Hot Springs Reopening After 50 Years?. Butte, Montana was once...
15 Once-Beloved Foods in America That Have Faded Away
Similar to fashion trends and cultural entertainment, like film cameras or pedal pushers, food trends can also ebb and flow depending on Americans' ever-changing tastes, interests, and technological advancements only to fall out of favor. Cottage cheese was once a popular snack food in America (in the 1970s, the average American ate nearly 5 pounds of cottage cheese according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture).
NRA Goes After “F” Rated Jon Tester in Montana, Backs Tim Sheehy
The NRA is going after the "F" rated Jon Tester as they back Navy SEAL veteran Tim Sheehy in the critical US Senate race in Montana. Plus, the spouse of a wounded Billings police officer calls out Tester for false claims...and says that she and her husband DO NOT endorse Tester.
Fellow Vets Cotton and Sheehy Drew Massive Crowd in Lewistown
I am now back in the saddle after being out on vacation the last several days. I mainly tuned out most of the news as this was the first real vacation our family has taken in quite some time...but this was something that definitely caught my eye. Check out that...
Beautiful, Dog Friendly Montana Airbnbs For $150 A Night Or Less
For most people, family means pets too. Back when I could have dogs (I rent and the in thing in Great Falls right now is no pets), I always took them on family adventures. Is it really a family get-a-way if it doesn't include every family member, even the hairy ones?
WOW: Viral Bank “Glitch” Has Some Montanans Getting Free Money
Viral Bank “Glitch” Has Some Montanans Getting Free Money. I love a good life hack. One of my favorite subreddits on Reddit is Life Pro Tips, which they claim are full of "Tips that improve your life one way or another." I have found some great tips there,...
