LB Vol 2

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.

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.

By the grace of God, I recently completed a long walk across the USA, and definitely not by the shortest or easiest route (thelongwalkusa.com). My daughter and I got our feet wet in the Atlantic off North Carolina’s Cape Hatteras in March of 2021; and just three months ago, we dipped our feet in the Pacific off the California coast.

Along an unbroken 8,118-mile route across 20 states and 251 counties, we carried a cross with an American flag in distress and prayed for our nation in these troubling times. Others joined us at different times and places, always making us a small team of peaceful Christians. About 600 of those walking miles and 10 of those counties were in Montana, a “conservative red state” with some of the best Second Amendment (2A)-affirming self-defense laws on paper in all of America.

On October 18, 2022, The New York Times shocked themselves when their Siena College poll revealed that 68% of likely US voters answered the same open ended question the same way: What do you see as the biggest
threat to democracy?

Government Corruption — That the government is not working on behalf of the people.

You’ve all heard that silence is golden, and that all that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men and women to do nothing. So, let’s put these two idioms together in the context of the very real prospect that an insidious movement is well underway to rob United States livestock producers of their liberty. This movement, then, is the evil that will prevail if good men and women do nothing.

Let’s dig in. First, we have the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) that is led by the world’s largest global beef packers, some of the largest world banks, some of the largest global retailers, and globalist pharmaceutical companies

Ask most Americans and they will tell you that laws are supposed to be enforced and that local law enforcement is there to protect and serve the people of their community. But the reality is that law enforcement today is more about protecting and serving themselves and the government than it is the individual freedoms of the people who elected them. Local law enforcement isn’t supposed to play favorites or selectively enforce the law, or, even worse, make up their own laws because they don’t like someone.

That’s what makes what happened to the Peermans in Flathead County, Montana so alarming. Montana, Big Sky country, is where most of the rest of the country imagines is ground zero for the “land of the free.” But Brandi Peerman and her family were being bullied by their neighbors and local law enforcement because they have two livestock guardian dogs who do what they were bred to do-bark

Hello fellow conservatives. I’m writing to give everyone an update on what I’ve been doing to represent YOU. We all needed a break from politics this holiday season and I hope everyone enjoyed time with their families.

The General Election is over and yes Republicans won the Presidency and other offices…but this is just the beginning of our work
