@aaronflint This is exactly what the Helena Commission is trying to prevent - immigration detainer holds for people like this - with their anti-ICE resolution. Montana Democrats want to defend rapist illegals against ICE deportations.

Today, with great humility and sincere appreciation, I shared the below letter with President Trump. It has been a profound honor to serve the American people as DNI.

@soupcanarchist Bring back cooking in junior high/high school. Home Ec was great for life skills.

My grandmother, who lived through the depression era as a little girl, had a saying: "Do what you can until you can do what you want." Yes. The grocery prices are high. Yes. Yes. Its a difficult burden... You still have to navigate the problem. Even if its completely unfair. You still need to eat. So, maybe some of the home cooking advice is the best of a set of bad choices. Is it not better than doing nothing to effect your own situation? And why the hell is everyone above peanut butter and jelly all the sudden?! Is it as good as sushi? No. Is it food, is it cheap? Didn't you just say you were broke?

@aaronflint @realJeremyCarl WHEN you win for us Aaron, please go after these shady foundations and NGOs. My students and I are working on a list of all the weird pass throughs that are really hard to follow in tax docs like foundations to donor advised funds (zero disclosure) to NGOs. It’s sick.

Grizzlies met their recovery target under their recovery plan 23 years ago (the indicators for this were the numbers of females with cubs, female spatial ecology, mortality numbers). So they should have been delisted from the federal endangered species act and turned over to the state fish and wildlife agencies in the state of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho. Why haven’t they been delisted? NGO lawsuits! The NGOs who’ve kept this issue tied up in the courts for 20 years (effectively vetoing federal law with limitless lawsuits and limitless money) are bankrolled by private foundations based in the following places where you cannot be mauled by a grizzly bear: 1. NYC (Ford Foundation, Earth Justice), 2. Palo Alto (David and Lucille Packard Foundation, Earth Justice), 3. Chicago (MacArthur Foundation, Earthjustice), 4. San Francisco (Sandler Foundation, Center for Biological Diversity), 5. DC (Wyss Foundation, Center for Biological Diversity (actually this guy who owns the foundation is Swiss), 6. Seattle (Wilburforce Foundation, Wild Earth Guardians). So you have these opaque private foundations based in coastal cities who’ve basically figured out that if they just donate to these activist NGOs, they’ll sue the Fish and Wildlife Service forever, and they can keep grizzlies listed as endangered forever and never hand their management over to the states. I know people in these NGOs and they’ll tell you over a drink that they don’t want us to control our wildlife because they see us as backwards and bloodthirsty. In reality, the best grizzly bear scientists and managers on earth live out here. Many of them have been trained in my lab and in colleagues’ labs. Why should the MacArthur Foundation and the Packard Foundation set predator policy in America against the laws Congress has set?

The need to delist is long overdue

@RodeoProfessor Grizzlies have been spotted near Big Sandy, Winnifred (Upper Missouri River Breaks), Canyon Creek, Little Belts, Elkhorns, Shields Valley, Bangtail Range, Livingston and the Pryor Mountains. They are well outside of the GYE and NCDE. The goal posts keep moving.

Current grizzly population (More than double the targets for recovery): GYE: 1040 NCDE: 1092 Original targets to remove them from the Endangered Species list (1982 plan): GYE: 300-400 NCDE: 440-680 That changed in the 1993 plan to: GYE: 500 NCDE: 500-700 Based upon Demographic data, distribution, and mortality limits

@theSOURCE406 I won't vote for Reilly but I do admire her campaign, mostly. She is at least willing to drive around and talk to people (albeit mostly voicing platitudes and tropes). She does not seem to have any heavy hitter support though, which I find curious. Why is that?

It's The Montana Democrat Party that allows this BS. They need to be tarred & feathered and run out of the State. A real Party would tell her..... " look Reilly, you ran for Governor... zilch. Ran for Congress...zilch. Hell, you couldnt get reelected after one term in your little State sistrict. Are you seeing a pattern here Reilly? You've been campaigning for 5 years, you're not very likable and your a bogart, it's time for a new fantasy." Apparently, there isn't a single person in the Democrats party with any sand in their pocket to do that. #Butte #Helena #Bozeman #Kalispel #WhiteFish #hamilton #Billings #Missoula

@theSOURCE406 "Bipartisan" - because it's endorsed by Marc Racicot, who voted for Tester and Biden? Trump is a bridge too far for Racicot but Biden was A-OK. Republican 20 years ago doesn't count as a Republican in 2026.

@brim006 Drove through here last fall. Nice place. I very much enjoyed North Dakota, but only saw the I-94 part of it. Want to go back (but not end up in Minnesota again, lol).

Why are cities liberal and rural areas conservative? I thought I knew the answer, but discovered that it's a new phenomenon. The rural/urban divide occurred in my lifetime. Here's what happened ...

@RodeoProfessor The mountain states are supposed to be a giant park for wealthy out of staters and foreigners to enjoy, not a place for people to live and work. No grazing, mining, logging or energy production should be allowed, according to them.

Wildlife posts go mega viral like this every week. Their premise is always something like “we’ve killed all the buffalo and wild horses in America.” Obviously written by people who don’t live out here because wild horses are one of the biggest land management challenge in the West, there are way too many of them and they eat all the food, the landscape turns to dust, and the public would lose their minds if we “managed them” or “drove down density” in any way that involved mortality of any kind. Every Western state has BLM corrals full of wild horses looking for adoption for this very reason. This isn’t just my opinion either, the federal agencies have run the numbers for the carrying capacity of public range (how many wild horses can public rangeland reasonably feed) and there are 3x the wild horses vs what we have to feed them on public range land. BLM deals with this through removals from public and private land (when they wander onto your property you can call the Feds and get them taken to a corral to be adopted). Each year the plan is to remove about 12-14k but it’s hard to do as the scale out here is so large and they cross the mosaic of public and private. But like lamenting wild horses being gone is like lamenting pigeons are gone from whatever city you live in. Then with buffalo, I mean Americans have orchestrated the most comprehensive scientific recovery of that species maybe in the history of the field of wildlife conservation, we now have herds on public, private, and tribal land that reflect the huge investment in buffalo conservation that we’ve made as a society. Yes, we don’t have pre American settlement wide open frontier, but do we actually want nobody living out here just to bring back entirely free moving herds of animals? Or is the new system where herds live on private, public, and tribal land and continue to be recovered by scientists, Feds, ranchers, tribes make sense for the modern age. Grow up Peter Pan.

@ChefGruel Labor is more expensive than when I was starting out - but the expectations people have are so much higher now. I couldn't afford fast food or going out to lunch in my 20s. Now people expect to be able to pay for it when they also can't afford it.
