Chief Four Dances And The Indian Summer

By: Marc Kelley
Montana is a wonderful place, four distinct seasons allow the scenic views which abound to change noticeably, each offering their unique and beautiful features.

In a time, not that long ago when conversation was not driven by political correctness, one would often hear this time of year described as, “Indian Summer.” Most of us who live on the high plains of the west, have come to associate this term with the warm, hazy days of autumn. Fall colors abound, animals move about freely, feasting upon the bounty of the harvest, and growing their thick winter coats. The time for hunting and gathering is upon us. Life is easy, the sun warms our bones, and we are grateful for the time at hand.

The exact origin of the term “Indian Summer” has been debated for centuries, has too, the exact meaning of the term. The literal interpretation speaks to the explosion of Autumns colors, warm days with just a hint of a chill in the air. A time to embrace a quieter pace, enjoy an early morning coffee as the sun rises, illuminating ruby and golden hues. It’s a beautiful time of year, and for many of us, our favorite time of year.

Yet for another age group, “Indian Summer” is emblematic of a lifetime of seasons long past. A time to reflect and appreciate memories lived long ago, thoughts of a simpler time, when not everything was viewed through the myopic lens of politics. A chance to reminisce about the days of our youth, hunting Green Wing Teal on the banks of the Missouri River, sharpening our shooting skills, and waiting anxiously for the flights of the big northern Canadian Geese to begin their migration. It is the perfect time to prepare for the harsh winter conditions we all know are coming, yet to enjoy the thoughts which remain in the back of our minds, never ignored, nor dismissed, but rather, respected for their inevitability.

It has become far too easy to allow the negative news which pours from the mouths of a dishonest media and a corrupt political class like acid eroding our country, to color the truth about America and her people. America is a beautiful place, defined not by the inner city scourge brought upon by decades of mismanagement and graft; but rather, by the vast natural beauty which is America, and the honest, hardworking people who love her.

Last weekend as several friends and customers stopped by to visit, and as we often jokingly say, we’re once again working to solve the problems facing our country. About an hour into our fulminations, my friend Scott Jones called and asked if he could stop by. Scott, is an amateur, but skilled photographer, with a very good eye, and an innate ability to capture the beauty of our great state. Scott was anxious to show me some of his latest work and when he arrived and began showing his latest photographs, we were all taken by the shear beauty he had captured.

Scott is a Godly man, generous, honest, and open about his feelings concerning freedom and liberty. After suffering an injury at work, Scott found himself with too much time on his hands and sick of the negativity which seemed to be everywhere he turned. Rather than feeling sorry for himself, Scott made a conscious decision to change his situation. He picked up his camera and headed outside, driving along the Yellowstone River searching for interesting views. Scott did not have to venture far and after traveling only a few miles from Billings, found himself at the Four Dances Nature Area, overlooking the Yellowstone Valley.

Taken by the shear beauty of my own backyard, I asked Scott if I could share one of his photos in this week’s catalog. As I researched The Four Dances Nature Area, I learned this scenic region has long been considered “Holy Ground” by the Crow Nation. During the 1830’s, and at the height of inter-tribal wars, this area was often visited by Crow leaders, seeking guidance for the problems they faced, as they fasted and performed religious rituals. History has recorded, Chief Four Dances, took his name from a vision he experienced while fasting and praying at this site. The message of hope seems as clear today, as it was to Chief Four Dances nearly 200 years ago. Today, as many people struggle to find the answers to the negativity which is seemingly everywhere we turn, it is the Good Lord who once again provides the messages of hope. We should all take a page from the life of Chief Four Dances. Hope is real, hope is alive and “Indian Summer”, is the perfect time to get away, turn off your cell phone and see for yourself….America the Beautiful.

Jackson Hole News & Guide’s Bogus Hit Piece On Wyo Senator Lummis

By Seth Hancock

This Hit Piece exposes the deranged thinking that plagues America

A few weeks ago, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming) voted against raising the debt ceiling.

On the Senate floor, Lummis called the vote “all hat, no cattle politics.”

“Everyone is talking about the debt limit, but almost no one is talking about the debt,” Lummis said. She goes on to say politicians are always ready to discuss how they can spend more of our money, but “never on how we got here, it’s never on why we spend too much, it’s never on the debt itself.”

For her vote, Lummis was treated to a laughable hit piece published in the Jackson Hole News & Guide written by Kerry Drake, who is described as a “veteran journalist” with over 40 years of experience.

“[W]hat her ‘no’ vote actually means is she’s unwilling to pay the United States’ debts, keep the federal government running and prevent a potential worldwide economic catastrophe,” Drake writes. “And Lummis says she’ll keep voting no, regardless of whether it means the government defaults on its debt — something that has never happened in the nation’s history.”

Drake added: “It’s partisan politics at its worst. Playing games with the debt limit is dangerous and irresponsible.”

With attitudes like this pervasive in the “journalism” world, is it any wonder America is now $28.9 trillion in debt according to usdebtclock.org. That equates to $229,000 in debt for every taxpayer and $86,826 per citizen. The U.S. budget is in a deficit of nearly $4 trillion, $6.9 trillion in spending and $3 trillion in revenue.

So, Mr. Drake, the only dangerous and irresponsible thing is to continue this monstrous spending and continuation of funding departments; like Commerce, Education, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Interior and more; that the federal government should have no say in to begin with.

There is one thing that Drake writes that I agree with. He notes that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) said “we raised the debt ceiling because America can’t default” and “that would be a disaster” in 2019 when President Donald Trump was in the White House.

“Isn’t it amazing how Republican lawmakers suddenly become deficit hawks whenever Democrats are in charge? These same officials didn’t give a hoot about spending under Trump. The national debt grew by nearly $7.8 trillion during his term, and Wyoming’s delegation aided and abetted him,” Drake wrote.

You’ll get no argument from me. Yes, Republicans are hypocrites. And those hypocrites not only include establishment hacks, like McConnel or Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming), but it includes most all GOPers including the so-called “conservatives.” Outside of a few libertarian-leaning Republicans, like Sen. Rand Paul and Rep. Thomas Massie both of Kentucky, most every Republican is ready to spend, spend, spend until the Democrats are in power.

But, just because the Republicans are hypocritical hacks is not an argument on the issue at hand, the massive overspending. For Lummis, she’s in her first term in the Senate and she had no problem placing blame on both parties.

“There is a lot of blame to go around here. What I would like to see us do is get together, both parties, all colleagues who are interested in this subject, come up with a way to address our debt, to balance our budget…. Time and again in the U.S. House and the Senate, time and again presidents of both parties have run up the debt irresponsibly with no plan to address it,” Lummis said.

The blame doesn’t stop at the feet politicians either. It’s also the fault of the American people who have become absolute dependents of the state. As long as the people keep demanding from the government “free” education in government-run schools, healthcare, jobs, stock market highs, etc., the politicians will continue to raise the debt ceiling in order to buy your votes.

But make no mistake, this house of cards will fall. A dumbed down and entitled society is what the government needs to keep pushing forward its plans. We’ve got a rigged stock market, and massive bailouts of the banks and corporation are now the status quo. Anyone with any common sense knows this can’t keep going before a massive crash, and maybe a crash is exactly what the government wants. A default on the debt would be the only moral thing to do.

Bill Sardi, for lewrockwell.com, wrote: “The US economy is primed to fall. The Wall Street Journal is not going to tell you this. A humongous depression far greater than the depression of the 1930s, is planned…. Those in power make it appear they are sending Americans free money, they are rescuing you, from the COVID, from joblessness, from the sinking ship. In fact, the citizenry is being set up for a big fall. And most Americans are none the wiser.”

Ryan McMaken, for the Mises Institute, wrote: “What (the establishment) wants, of course, is sky-high spending, forever, and it wants to borrow huge amounts — at rock-bottom interest rates — to do it. A default — brought about by a stable debt ceiling — would complicate that goal. A failure to hike the debt would also limit the power of the regime, so we can expect most everyone inside the Beltway to be deeply opposed.”

Majority of Campbell County Board Doesn’t Want To Hear The Public

Majority of Campbell County Board Doesn’t Want To Hear The Public

By Seth Hancock

By a split 3-2 vote earlier this week, the Campbell County Board of Commissioners voted to support Chairman Robert Maul’s unilateral decision to remove the public comments portion from its meetings.

According to local media reports, residents have been addressing their concerns over the last several months over books being found in the children and teens section of the public library which promote the sexualization of kids. Residents have filed complaints with the sheriff’s office and prosecutors are determining whether to charge library officials, including Darcy Acord, the library’s children’s director.

Maul made the decision to remove the public comments portion from the Oct. 19 meeting agenda on his own and said at the meeting it was “suspended immediately” and gave no indication if he would include public comments in the future. During a board discussion, Maul had some members of the public forcibly removed from the meeting for trying to have their voices heard.

Commissioner Colleen Faber made a motion to include public comments which was seconded by Commissioner Del Shelstad which led to the board discussion. But, commissioners Rusty Bell and D.G. Reardon joined Maul in supporting his dictatorial rule making.

Ultimately what was at question is whether the public meetings, where taxpayers are forced to pay for the board’s decisions, are controlled by the chairman, or does the whole board and the public itself have a say.

Wyoming’s Open Meetings Act does not explicitly require public comments but does include a section related to “participation by public” at meetings.

Bell supported the authoritarian approach saying “it’s always been the chairman’s prerogative…. I want to keep it the way it is.” Reardon took aim at the public saying meetings have “devolved into a session of bullying and threatening our board of commissioners, the library board and library staff.”

Maul said because there’s email and social media, the public still gets to comment.

“The board is more accessible now than at any other time in the past,” Maul said. “The elimination of the public comment at business meetings will not impede this access.”

Maul went on to thank the public “for their interest, participation and contributions” as he was taking the public’s ability to participate and contribute away.

For Faber, she said ultimately the whole board should be the ones making the decision whether or not to have public comments.

“I do want everyone to realize that we are not a board of one, we are five individuals up here who do have different ideologies and belief systems and some of us do support having our public comments, and some don’t,” Faber said. “I would not want it to seem like it’s a situation that we don’t support our chairman.”

As for Shelstad, he ultimately thinks the public is the most important voice to be heard.

“I think a basic fundamental right of our people is to address their government with their grievances,” Shelstad said. “I think that’s what these people have been doing, and if we can’t represent them, the people of our county, who can we represent?”

Pastor Scott Clem, of local Central Baptist Church in Gillette and former member of the Wyoming House of Representatives, told the board before the meeting: “Tyranny, tyranny, that’s what this is. It’s completely screwed up and you know it.”

Liz Cheney Delusional And Disconnected From Wyoming Voters

The State of Wyoming will become the most watched political state in the United States during the 2022 election cycle. On one end the Democrats have Liz Cheney, the most despised and hated politician in the state of Wyoming flaunting her millions of dollars of money that she has received from out-of-state contributions from back East and the West Coast primarily from liberal Socialist Democrats whom have an agenda to flip Wyoming into a blue state. Cheney is being used, abused, and will hang out to dry, like most Democrats do to politicians that they use up and throw away. One important ingredient for Cheney to win is votes, of which she does not have.

On the other end of the spectrum, Cheney’s political challenger is the former gubernatorial candidate, Harriet Hageman. Hageman got an excellent boost from President Donald J. Trump when he anointed Cheyenne attorney Harriet Hageman to be his choice to replace Cheney. Hageman currently is behind in fundraising, but in time experts say the money will start rolling in to balance out the political war chest that Cheney has developed from out-of-state contributors. Candidate Harriet Hageman has the Wyoming votes, and that is what will tip the scales in favor of Hageman.

In a statewide poll that was conducted, 8 out of 10 Wyoming residents stated in the phone poll they would vote for Harriet Hageman hands down. Last but not least, evenly divided between Cheney and the relatively unknown Bouchard, whose chances of unseating Cheney are slim to none. Yet, the unknown Bouchard, has dreams of garnishing enough votes to over take Hageman and Cheney.

Pie in the sky? more than likely.

Cheney’s massive amounts of money does not intimidate at all Hageman because Harriet Hageman has the support of Trump and Trump in Wyoming is GOLD!

This translates out to actually having the votes to unseat the most despised and hated politician in Wyoming, Liz Cheney. Yet Cheney continues to go against Wyoming voters.

This will be the most contentious and expensive race in the history of the Wyoming politics, as Wyoming voters are determined to end Cheney’s chances of being re-elected. As a 90-year-old woman stated to the news, “In all my years, I have never observed such a dishonest woman as Elizabeth Cheney is. She is dead to us Wyoming voters.” That statement says it all. And that little old lady’s comment spoke volumes about how the state of Wyoming voters really feel about Liz Cheney.

Pay Up Or Get Cut Off Scammers Targeting Park County Residents

Park County residents being hit hard with phone scams: “Pay up or Get cut Off.”

Multiple fraudulent phone calls are being received by Park County residents, which have alerted both the Powell Police Department, Cody Police Department and the Park County Sheriff Department regarding the amount of phone scams that are taking place.

In the town of Powell, Wyoming, phone scammers were calling Powell residents, posing as employees for the City of Powell’s Billing Department, demanding instant payment or have your utilities cut off.

The calls are called “ghost calls.” A “ghost call” is where scammers using a computer and a VPN which moves the internet calls from location to location enabling the actual location of the caller to be cleverly masked, thwarting any attempt by Law Enforcement to pin point the origination of the location of the actual caller.

On or about October 20, 2021 Cody Wyoming residents were also hit with these “Ghost calls” using this same method in disguising their actual origination of the location of the calls. Any area code can be assigned temporarily to each call, never allowing the actual ID of the caller to be revealed.

The scammers can spoof the phone numbers making it appear that the call is local when it is not.

If you have a delinquent utility bill, the city will leave a automated call, the utility customer is requested to call City Hall about the delinquent utility bill. Never make a payment by phone.

The actual phone numbers are:

Cody City Hall 307-527-7511

Powell Utility Bill Department 307-754-7263

If you receive a scammer call or you are not sure, tell the scammer that you are going to hang up and call the city yourself to take care of the bill and or check on your account status. Doing this will make the scammer quickly hang up as they are now exposed.

Child Struck by Vehicle and Dies from his Injuries

North Hills: The Los Angeles Police Department’s Valley Traffic Division detectives are investigating a fatal hit and run traffic collision that occurred at Nordhoff Street and

Langdon Avenue.

On October 17, 2021, around 7:35 a.m., a fatal hit and run traffic collision occurred on Nordhoff Street and Langdon Avenue when a silver colored 2016 Honda HRV, heading westbound Nordhoff Street, sideswiped an approaching vehicle that was travelling eastbound Nordhoff Street as the Honda attempted to negotiate a left turn onto Langdon Avenue.

The approaching vehicle was a grey colored sedan, 4-door, possibly a Toyota Camry. Due to the nature of the impact, the Honda HRV changed its direction and began heading towards the southeast corner that was populated by several pedestrians. The Honda HRV drove onto the sidewalk colliding with some of the pedestrians. One of the pedestrians was a one-and-a-half-year-old child who was in a stroller. The Honda HRV pinned the stroller and victim against a brick planter. The driver of the grey colored sedan continued to drive eastbound Nordhoff Street without stopping, identifying themselves, or attempting to render aid.

The Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics arrived at the scene and transported the victims to a local hospital. One of the victims was treated and released, but the child succumbed to his injuries and died. The name of the child will not be released until next-of-kin has been notified.

On April 15, 2015, the City Council amended the Los Angeles Administrative Code and created a Hit and Run Reward Program Trust Fund. A reward of up to $50,000 is available to community members who provide information leading to the offender’s identification, apprehension, and conviction or resolution through a civil compromise.

Drivers are reminded that if they are involved in a traffic collision, they should pull over and stop as soon as it is safe to do so, notify emergency services, and remain at the scene to identify themselves.

Lack Of Logic Allows For Liberal Indoctrination Being Taught

Lack Of Logic Allows For Liberal Indoctrination Being Taught

By: Robin Berry

Due to the lack of ‘logic’ being taught in our indoctrination system we now have adults
saying the following:

High cost of fuels will ‘make’ everyone buy electric cars and the world will be saved from
climate ‘change.’ Let us look at this step by step.
1. The main power grid of our nation and the world is not on ‘renewables’ and would not
be ‘online’ to ‘plug’ in these ‘new’ cars. (nor would the internet be available or the
cellphone networks.) Most people will not be able to afford any kind of electricity,
pushing our country back to burning wood since coal ‘is bad.’ Think of the smoke filled
skies then.

2. The high cost of petroleum products is so much more than ‘fuel.’ (i.e. plastics, fabric,
rubber, most packaging, etc.) Killing the extraction and production thereof will cause our
lives to be changing dramatically due to shortages and it has nothing to do with the
automobile.

3. At the moment, because some of our government officials have slowly moved almost
all of our manufacturing to China and other third world countries with regulations and
non-manufacturing ‘climate,’ we have few raw materials being processed or made into
products in out country therefore We the People will have very few goods to consume.
(Time for that American ingenuity to spring forth and self starters to begin ‘new’
businesses.)

4. Because of the above there are no ‘cars’ electric or otherwise to purchase.

5. If We the People do not stand up, throw out of office those who would destroy our
country and deprive us of our God given freedom, we will fall into the OWO of the CCP
and ‘poverty for all’ with no one ‘allowed’ to exercise their God given freedom or talents
or life. (And NO I do not believe a ‘weighted’ electric ballot counting machine will allow
a fair election in the world ever.)

Demand Voter ID, same day voting in person only, with manual paper ballot counting.
Volunteer at your local County Clerk to count the ballots. Otherwise the world loses.
