Quote for the Day…

Extremes to the right and to the left of any political dispute are always wrong. ― Dwight D. Eisenhower

In today’s column, I take a quick look at these people/issues:

• 2022 Montana GOP Platform Convention
• The Western Word Poll
• Flight Over the Falls 2022
• NFL Training Camps

2022 MONTANA GOP PLATFORM CONVENTION:

After reading the report from the Montana Free Press (MTFP) about the 2022 Montana GOP Platform Convention held last weekend in Billings, it appears that moderates are no longer wanted in the Montana Republican Party.

MTFP reported:

A majority of the delegates repeatedly approved amendments to the platform that steer the party further to the right at a time when it already enjoys near-historic control over the state.

Then, MTFP reported the delegates approved the most extreme abortion language:

On abortion, the convention approved language stating that the party supports an outright ban on elective abortion without exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the mother.

This is not the Montana Republican Party that moderates like me can associate with.

Beam me up, Scotty…

Read the complete report from MTFP HERE.

THE WESTERN WORD POLL:

This week’s poll question asks, “What should happen to the law enforcement officials who failed to properly respond to the mass shooting at Uvalde elementary school?” (Background)

The results will be posted later this week.

FLIGHT OVER THE FALLS 2022:

Just a reminder that the USAF Thunderbirds will be performing in Great Falls, Montana, this weekend, July 23-24. The event will be held at Great Falls International Airport. It’s free!
