Happy 4/20 Day! Here are the topics for today’s common sense commentary:

2026 MONTANA CAMPAIGN NEWS: 

Candidate profile… 

The Montana Free Press (MTFP) has published a candidate profile on Republican Christi Jacobsen, who is running in Montana’s Western Congressional District (MT-01) to replace Ryan Zinke. 

One part of the profile of Jacobsen was interesting:

Only one politician can claim to have shared a Montana ballot with Donald Trump and received more votes — twice — and that’s the state’s top elections official, Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen. 

Check it out HERE. 

Lander Busse…

Last week was not a good week for Congressional candidate Ryan Busse. The New York Post reported the following about his son (Lander):

A wannabe congressman has been slammed for his son’s abhorrent social media posts that frequently expressed anti-Semitic views, including a “Heil Hitler” reference and “f—k Israel” comments.

Lander Busse — whose father Ryan Busse is running to replace Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke in Montana — is a self-proclaimed “anti-Zionist” who has mocked political support of Tel Aviv and responding to a rabbi seeking a conversation to talk out their differences with “f—k you.” 

It did not take long for the Montana media to pick up the story, HERE. 

NEW FACEBOOK PAGE:

One of my faithful readers pointed out there’s a new Facebook page called “Tryon Rick,” and the description says, “I am one of the Great Falls Good Ol’ Boys, I failed to make Great Falls great again.”  

It’s full of laughs. Check it out HERE. 

MONTANA STATE FAIR:

Ah, spring in Montana: when the state fair headliners are announced and everyone on social media suddenly becomes a talent scout. 

Here is the lineup:  

  • Third Eye Blind (Saturday, July 25)
  • Kansas (Sunday, July 26)
  • Ian Munsick (Monday, July 27)
  • John Crist (Tuesday, July 28)

As a baby boomer, I would love to see REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, and Styx every year, but it’s not going to happen. They only have so much money to spend. 

ONE MORE THING:

You guys…I’m beginning to think the “Board of Peace” was a giant scam.

  1. Whoever made that Tryin’ Rick fb page sure nailed the “rage-baiting” nature of his posting style.

    The other day he was busy inflaming his followers with a frothing attack on those godless leftists who, he asserted, were doing all the complaining about Trump’s portrayal of himself as Jesus. It was in fact the complaints of right wing Christian types that forced the slob to take it down. It it bothered only leftists it would still be up.

    Typical nonsense day in the posting career of Tryin’ Rick and his little echo chamber.

  2. It’s all so confusing.

    CORRECTION: According to the New York Post, Lander Busse responded to a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming “Free Palestine is today’s version of Heil Hitler” with a video clip from the popular TV show Breaking Bad, in which a character declares “Well, Heil Hitler, b—h!” Lander Busse did not make those remarks in a comment as previously reported.
