Hello, friends! Today is Friday, August 11, 2023, and here are the things that I am commenting about today:
- Rosendale & PACT Act
- U.S. Senate Montana 2024
- Iran and USA
- One More Thing
ROSENDALE & PACT ACT:
Maybe I’m missing something here, but yesterday U.S. Representative Matt Rosendale (R-MT) posted a message on social media saying, “It has been one year since the PACT Act was signed into law, and I was proud to vote in favor of this legislation to ensure our veterans receive the care they deserve.”
Back in March after the passage of the PACT Act, Rosendale issued a press release saying, in part:
Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3967, Honoring our PACT Act, which would dramatically increase the workload of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), creating an estimated claims backlog of 1.5 million, and would result in unspecified and undirected use of precious VA resources. Representative Rosendale voted NO…
Is Rosendale lying about his vote?
U.S. SENATE MONTANA 2024:
It seems that almost every week something negative is disclosed about U.S. Senate candidate Tim Sheehy. This week, Business Insider published a story saying:
The GOP’s top US Senate recruit in Montana plans to steer a portion of the revenue from his forthcoming memoir to an industry group that lobbies federal lawmakers, adding to existing conflict-of-interest questions surrounding the wealthy first-time candidate.
It’s becoming apparent that the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), headed by Montana’s own Steve Daines, has failed to properly vet Sheehy. If outsiders keep finding dirt on Sheehy, the NRSC may beg Matt Rosendale to enter the race.

IRAN AND USA:
There’s a proposed prisoner deal for five Americans being held by Iran. The deal would be in exchange for billions of dollars frozen in South Korea – Iran’s money.
The deal is not yet done, but already several Republicans have come out against it mostly because President Biden is doing it.

ONE MORE THING:
Don’t forget to stretch…
The Western Word 
With Rosendale and Daines making bad choices and misrepresenting their positions, maybe we can get Gianforte out of the Governors office and into a losing campaign. Might kill two birds with one stone!
Jackie you can start a grassroots campaign right here on the Western Word.
Nice idea, but Gianforte will probably buy his election for governor again. -JmB
No question Rosey lied.
Here’s the actual vote:

If Matt wasn’t talking about some other iteration of the bill and that’s it, he voted no but now says he voted yrs, then Matt has gone full Republican swamp rat – just lie your ass off and create your own reality.
After all, they all know no Republican voter is ever going to fact check anything any MAGA politician spews.That’s just how much respect they have for the R voters’ intelligence.
