Support for Planned Parenthood and abortion vendors has risen on faith-based
campuses since Roe’s reversal, according to multi-year research

By Lisa Bennett

A series of investigations by Students for Life of America’s Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement has found that a significant and growing number of U.S. colleges and universities affiliated with Christian denominations maintain relationships with Planned Parenthood or other abortion-related organizations—despite their institutions’ claimed Christian foundations.

The 2023 Christian Schools Project examined 767 colleges and universities affiliated with Christian churches. Researchers identified 76 schools—approximately one in ten—with some form of connection to Planned Parenthood or the abortion industry. That figure represented a roughly 10 percent increase from the 69 schools flagged in a similar 2021 review. Infractions commonly included listing Planned Parenthood as a student “health resource,” offering internship or volunteer opportunities with the organization, hosting related events, or making public statements supportive of abortion. Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, and Lutheran institutions accounted for large shares of the documented cases.

How Grid United Can Align With America’s Industrial Renaissance

By Lisa Bennett

As the push to bring manufacturing back to American soil accelerates under the current administration, energy demand is skyrocketing. National leaders are aggressively courting multi-trillion-dollar investments to rehome industrial plants, tech hubs, and energy intensive data centers across the American West, including Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Northern California.

For projects like Grid United’s 420-mile North
Plains Connector, aligning with this economic renaissance offers a tremendous opportunity to set a new gold standard for American energy resilience. As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, corporations that build our critical infrastructure have a unique patriotic calling: to look past a century-old dependency on heavy steel-core technology and invest in the next 250 years of American prosperity. Montana Public Service Commission (PSC) Commissioner Randy Pinocci has highlighted the immense stakes involved in building a grid capable of supporting this growth, emphasizing the vital role of modern technology:

“I have a responsibility to point out these common-sense benefits of carbon core transmission lines.”

An Electorate Too Ignorant to Govern Itself

By Lisa Bennett

In the early years of the American republic, Noah Webster—lexicographer, educator, and fierce advocate for national identity—issued a blunt warning about democracy’s weakest link: an uninformed people. In his essay “On the Education of Youth in America” (1788), later included in A Collection of Essays and Fugitiv Writings on Moral, Historical, Political and Literary Subjects (Boston: I. Thomas and E.T. Andrews, 1790), Webster wrote:

“I have known instructions from the inhabitants of a county, two thirds of whom could not write their names. How competent must such men be to decide an important point in legislation!”

THE DAILY INVESTIGATOR: SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE EXPOSÉ

By Investigative Reporting Desk

The “1% Rule” and the Cyanide Fallacy

When evaluating the safety of food additives and industrial compounds, regulatory agencies frequently rely on arbitrary concentration thresholds.  Under current United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines, certain additives—including colorants like titanium dioxide—are permitted in consumer products as long as they do not exceed 1% of the finished product’s weight. To the average consumer, “less than 1%” sounds negligible—a mere rounding error in mass production. However, toxicologists point out a fundamental flaw in using simple percentage caps as a primary safety buffer.

Consider a basic thought experiment:
Potassium cyanide at a 1% concentration by weight in a standard food portion would deliver a fatal dose. Toxicity is governed by biological mechanisms, organ accumulation, and cellular reactions—not merely whether an ingredient stays below an arbitrary 1% cutoff. Yet, for decades, regulatory thresholds have allowed chemicals to enter the food supply under the assumption that low volume equals low risk, even when those substances accumulate in human tissue over time.

How State and Local Politics Can Distort Truth, Justice, and How Media Coverage Can Be Complicit in the Cover-up The public is left asking who investigates the people responsible for investigating everyone else.

By Lisa Bennett

Eighty years ago, on August 1 and 2, 1946, citizens in McMinn County, Tennessee, took up arms against their own local government. The confrontation became known as the Battle of Athens, or the McMinn County War. It began with years of resentment over political control, alleged police brutality, voter intimidation, favoritism, and the belief that a local political machine had taken control of law enforcement and elections.

The story remains one of the clearest warnings in American history about what can happen when citizens believe their government has become a closed political club—one in which the sheriff, courthouse officials, political leaders, and election authorities protect one another instead of protecting the people. The Battle of Athens was not caused by one disagreement on one election night. It was the culmination of years of distrust. It was the consequence of citizens believing that the people responsible for enforcing the law were using the law to preserve political power.

A party that claims to defend freedom and capitalism now faces questions about consolidated power, repeated lawsuits, political loyalty tests, and whether grassroots Republicans still have a voice.

By Staff Writer

The Montana Republican Party has every right to promote its platform, expect candidates to understand and support its principles, and hold elected officials accountable when they abandon the promises made to voters. A political party that never enforces its principles eventually becomes little more than a label on a ballot. But there is a difference between defending a platform and demanding unquestioning obedience. There is a difference between holding candidates accountable and punishing every Republican who disagrees with party leadership.

There is also a difference between maintaining standards and building an internal political machine in which power is concentrated at the top, dissent is treated as disloyalty, and only dependable “yes” men and women are allowed into the approved ranks. That distinction is at the center of the growing controversy surrounding the Montana Republican Party.

The combined files necessary to unravel the COVID era—the actors, the motivations, the many moving parts—run into the hundreds of thousands of pages. Confusing and convoluted does not quite describe them. One way to conceptualize the fullness of the issue is to focus on the most remarkable document yet, the daily logs of Anthony Fauci, now called the diaries.

They were kept on government computers. Their preparation was assisted by government employees. By law, the results belong to the public. And yet it is obvious that these notes were a first draft of what he hoped would be his autobiography. These were left behind when he retired from public service in December 2022.

My own analysis confirms my big picture framing of his motivations throughout. Fearing a disclosure that Fauci himself funded the research that created the virus, his actions that followed were an attempt to convert villainy to valor, while his cultivated fame was structured to avoid shame.
