Historic drop in cattle prices leaves ranchers desperate for answers
A crisis is quietly unfolding in one of Montana's most important industries, but because it's mainly a rural issue and the election is hogging the headlines, it's been largely ignored. Cattle prices have dropped off a cliff "faster and farther than at any other time in history" – in the words of one expert – over the last two years, and thousands of ranchers all over Montana are scrambling to try to save their livelihoods.

Standoff at church ends in suicide
Worship services at Real Life Ministries in Post Falls halted Sunday morning when an armed, suicidal veteran appeared on the campus of the large, non-denominational church. Dale Belieu, 59, of Craigmont, Idaho, called 911 at 9:37 a.m. to let law enforcement personnel know his location, and his intent to kill himself. The call began a standoff that lasted nearly three hours, during which churchgoers were safely inside one of the buildings on the campus, that resulted in Belieu taking his own life.

Carl Schmitt: The Philosopher of Conflict Who Inspired Both the Left and the Right
Carl Schmitt had attacked liberalism incessantly before the Nazi period, enthusiastically served the Nazi state, and then brooded after the defeat and spent decades developing and promulgating anti-libertarian thinking across the political spectrum. His influence on the political thought of the last century has been subtle, but his core idea came to permeate the thinking of both the left and the right. His thorough and uncompromising rejection of classical liberalism has inspired both “left wing” and “right wing” attacks on toleration, the market economy, limited government, and peace. This Nazi philosopher retains his stellar reputation. The truth is that he despised liberty. Be aware and don't be fooled!
