Turk and Tim Talkin’ Ag and Elections in Montana
I did an interview with the New York Times about the US Senate race here in Montana. There were a couple main points that I shared. One, Democrat Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) is getting very desperate in his attacks on Navy SEAL veteran and Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy (R-MT). Two, we have quite the contrast here: Tester is a Washington, DC fat cat living high on the hog while everyday Montanans struggle with his inflation and open borders. Contrast that with a fresh faced Navy SEAL who built successful businesses employing fellow veterans here in Montana.

Montana Too Cold for Harrison Ford? ‘1923’ is Moving to Texas
For the better part of 4 years now, Montana has been experiencing a migration of people to the state. Simply bring up the topic of "California," "Out-of-Staters" or "Transplants" in a local bar, and you will get locals fired up. People always say that the "new" residents of Montana don't understand what REAL Montana is like. The "new" residents think that Montana is just like what they see on the show "Yellowstone." And there seems to be a sense of justice for the locals when a giant snowstorm or extreme temperatures give the "new" residents a taste of what REAL Montana is like.
