From Almost-Salesman to Armchair Trucker
I got into a conversation recently about my job and what else I would have done for a living if I hadn't landed in this business. First, what I do at my job. It's a little more than talking and playing songs that I like (but not much more). There's a lot of computer stuff these days. I had a heck of a time just logging into the on-air computer this morning. Then I spend a lot of my shift switching the system from "auto" to "manual." Taxing, right?

Harmless Students Might Appear on Your Doorstep, Billings
Stranger danger is very real in Billings. Not a day passes that I don't see a post on local social media gossip pages where someone has a weirdo creeping on their porch, lurking around in the alley, or knocking on their door. It's not confined to shady neighborhoods either. From the Heights to the West End, sketchy characters can seem to be popping up anywhere.

Mission Undermined: Open Letter From Concerned Vets in Montana
Last October, we heard from Darin Selnick. He was at the White House as a veterans affairs advisor to President Trump. He helped negotiate the Mission Act, a bill that was designed to give veterans more access to health care outside of the VA. (Click here for that story) Selnick,...

From Ballots to Babysitting: Election Day’s Hidden Perks
I got my ballot in. I hope you did too. My favorite part of election day is that usually, starting the day after we vote, all the political ads go away for a while. I know you hate them as much as we do. At least you can change the channel. I'm stuck sitting through every one of them. That's the job.
Barrasso calls Biden’s Border Order ‘Too Little, Too Late’
On Tuesday President Joe Biden signed an executive order to temporarily shut down the asylum requests once the average number of daily encounters reach a threshold of 2,500, effective immediately. The restrictions would be in effect until two weeks after the daily encounter numbers are at or below 1,500 per...
Electric Cars: High Costs, Low Excitement
It's no surprise to me that more and more Americans are not excited about electric vehicles. Heck, I just went to Fargo last weekend, and I would have had to stop four times to charge to get there. The Democrats are pushing them and have used the EPA to push them. The Biden administration has set the goal of 56% of all new vehicles sold by 2032 to be all-electric, along with 13% plug-in hybrids. Auto companies are being forced to invest billions into cars and battery development. That's why the average cost is now $57,000 for electric vehicles. The climate agenda is killing us both financially and liberty-wise.
Flights Missoulians Can Take In Bozeman Or Glacier But Not Missoula
The Missoula Montana Airport expanded its services to Oakland and Orange County on a seasonal service last month bringing its destination total to 14. California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Minnesota and more states are covered, but obviously you can't get everywhere you need to go. Someday Missoula will expand further after...

One of Billings’ Oldest Commercial Buildings is For Sale
I'm a sucker for old buildings in downtown Billings Historic District. One of the oldest commercial buildings in Billings is currently on the market. Located at 2712 Minnesota Ave, residents may recall when the two-story brick building and its neighboring buildings were home to the Western Bar and the Wheel Bar.
Top 40 Country Songs for June 2024 [Power Rankings]
Two superstar collaborations hold down two of the Top 5 songs on the June 2024 Top 40 Country Songs list. Most surprising, however, is the straightforward country jam from an indie artist no one is talking about. Bryan Martin's "We Ride" checks in at No. 5 this month. He's on...

The California craziness is now coming to Montana. A liberal judge in Yellowstone County is trying to place a man in the Montana Women's Prison in Billings, Montana. If you were simply scanning the headlines and reading the first few paragraphs of this story by KTVQ-TV, you would think that a woman is being placed in the Montana Women's Prison. A closer look shows us that this violent offender is actually a man.
