The Forgotten Limits of Federal Power

By Matt Erickson

Read the complete article: The Forgotten Limits of Federal Power

Our divinely-inspired (and inspiring) Declaration of Independence boldly proclaims America’s founding principles to be self-evident truths—truths so fundamental, they don’t require further support. The greatest of these undeniable truths is that all men are created (equal) and accordingly endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights (among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness).

The practical application of our God-given rights in everyday life is but a minor step down in importance, thus it’s proper that the Declaration next details that men instituted American government for the express purpose of securing our rights, before informing us that legitimate governing authority is derived from the consent of the governed.

The Colstrip Power Heist

The Biggest Energy Backroom Deal in Modern Montana History

A Transfer That Changed Everything—Quietly

In late 2025, NorthWestern Energy executed a transaction that carries sweeping implications for Montana’s energy future. The company arranged for Puget Sound Energy’s 370‑megawatt share of Colstrip Units 3 and 4 to be transferred not into the regulated utility that serves Montana families, but into a newly created, unregulated affiliate: Colstrip 370Pu LLC

In a November 7 letter to the Montana Public Service Commission, NorthWestern acknowledged that assigning the acquisition contract to the unregulated subsidiary “ensures local operational control… while shielding customers from costs.” But the documents show something far more consequential: Montana ratepayers were cut out of access to 370 megawatts of power that NorthWestern acquired for free — and the company positioned that energy for sale to a single large customer, likely a data center.

Get Your Children Out.

SALT LAKE CITY — In a searing indictment of the Utah public education system, State Board of Education member Christina Boggess is sounding a desperate alarm for parents, claiming the system has become a breeding ground for anti-Christian bias, academic failure, and unchecked sexual deviancy. As the first evangelical member ever elected to the state board, Boggess entered the role with high hopes for reform. However, after witnessing the systemic entrenchment of the bureaucracy, she is now calling it quits, frustrated by the lack of support from both her colleagues and the parent base she sought to defend.

The ‘Boot Camp’ of Indoctrination Boggess highlights a significant hurdle for newly elected officials who enter office hoping to spark change. Upon election, board members are subjected to immersion training by the National Association of School Boards of Education and the Utah State Boards Association. Boggess describes these sessions as a “boot camp” of indoctrination and intimidation. Rather than empowerment, newly elected officials are reportedly scared into silence, instructed that they must curtail their speech and adhere to strict, pre-defined boundaries on what they can and cannot do as board members.

CONSERVATION EASEMENTS: The Attack on Farmers & Ranchers No One is Talking About

Land under a conservation easement is no longer private property. The primary problem with conservation easements is that they willingly convey control of the property to a third party, rendering the fundamental right of “private property” void. Control of the land is the essential element of a property right, but when a landowner signs a conservation easement, they give this away.

An anti-money laundering law called the Corporate Transparency Act ( CTA)

On Dec. 3, 2024, a federal district court in Texas issued a nationwide preliminary injunction preventing the federal government from requiring certain businesses to report their “beneficial owners” to the U.S. Department of the Treasury by January 1, 2025.

This reporting requirement was passed by Congress in the Corporate Transparency Act, which is a law intended to help the Treasury Department target illicit financial activity. The Texas district court concluded that the CTA’s reporting requirement was unconstitutional and, therefore, it issued the preliminary injunction.

Ensuring the Safety of Women While Using Capitol Washrooms

WRITTEN BY
Jerry Schillinger
Montana HD 55 Representative

Recently, I read Representative Brad
Barker’s version of a rule change I offered at our Joint Rules Committee meeting in Helena. Joint, meaning House and Senate members together to set rules that will affect both chambers in the upcoming session beginning January 6th. The rule change that I brought, would require men to use the men’s restroom and women to use the women’s restroom. Pretty basic. Currently there is no rule, there shouldn’t need to be, except these days there seems to be some confusion about who’s who and what’s what. So, in the absence of a rule, any man can access the women’s restroom and vice versa. In the proposed rule it would allow anyone, Representative Barker or anyone else, that may be confused about their sex, to request a chromosome test if denied access to the restroom. This test was the methodology used in Senate Bill 458 by Senator Glimm to establish the legal definition of one’s sex. It was passed by the legislature in 2023 and signed into law by the Governor. Representative Barker voted for this bill. Representative Barker would like the readers to believe the test is mandatory for all, not true. The restrooms in question, are the ones located between the Senate and House chambers, accessible only by legislative members and staff.
