I watched a 7 minute clip a few days ago that reminded me of Montana’s role in harboring some of the alleged Christians who make up the network involved, I believe, in covering up Israel’s role in the Charlie Kirk assassination, so after yesterday’s post asking why Montana is a safe space for demons, today I’ll be trying to answer the question about why Montana ALSO appears to be a safe space for Zionist Christians.

Before we get to the shills, though, let’s look at Robert Shillman, the man who made media mouthpieces out of James O’Keefe, Ben Shapiro, and Laura Loomer for his favorite blue and white country. And that’s just what I was able to glean from Wikipedia!

Shillman sits on boards of The Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, and the David Horowitz Freedom Center. In May 2008, President George W. Bush appointed him to serve on the Honorary Delegation to accompany him to Jerusalem for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel.

He has funded Brigitte Gabriel’s ACT for America, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, FrontPage Magazine and Rebel News, and has argued against the US accepting Syrian Muslim refugees.

He has been described as a counter-jihad “elite” and high-profile financier. In and around August 2017, he funded several far-right counter-jihad activists who were appointed “Shillman Fellows”. Among these fellows were Laura Loomer, Raheem Kassam and Katie Hopkins.

While Shillman made the shills, a pair of billionaire bros from Texas made the platforms to amplify the shills. For more on that front, here’s some context about how the Wilks brothers, who own LOTS of land in Montana, provided the seed money for The Daily Wire:

Like the Koch brothers, the Mercer family and other conservative billionaires, Dunn and Wilks want to slash regulations and taxes. Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule. “It’s hard to think of other megafunders in the country as big on the theocratic end of the spectrum,” says Peter Montgomery, who oversees the Right Wing Watch project at People for the American Way, a progressive advocacy group.

Texas, which has few limits on campaign spending, is home to a formidable army of donors. Lately Dunn has outspent them all. Since 2000, he and his wife have given more than $29 million to candidates and PACs in Texas. Wilks and his wife, who have donated to many of the same PACs as Dunn, have given $16 million. Last year, Dunn and his associated entities provided two-thirds of the donations to the state Republican Party.

The duo’s ambitions extend beyond Texas. They’ve poured millions into “dark money” groups, which do not have to disclose contributors; conservative-media juggernauts (Wilks provided $4.7 million in seed capital to The Daily Wire, which hosts “The Ben Shapiro Show”); and federal races. Dunn’s $5 million gift to the Make America Great Again super PAC in December made him one of Donald Trump’s top supporters this election season, and he has quietly begun to invest in efforts to influence a possible second Trump administration, including several linked to Project 2025.

To emphasize the power of money to TPUSA, Robert Shillman showed Charlie Kirk he wasn’t fucking around with his loyalty to Israel just days before Kirk’s assassination by yanking some of that money, as reported by the Grayzone.

Catty-corner from the Freedom Center is the Pearson Building. According to a TPUSA insider, this structure was to be emblazoned with the name of one of Kirk’s largest and most committed backers, the tech mogul Robert Shillman. A pre-eminent funder of right-wing Zionist and anti-Muslim causes across the Atlantic, Shillman’s millions helped transform Kirk from a young age into one of Israel’s most effective gentile assets.

However, as Kirk drifted from the official, Netanyahu-enforced line on Israel in the past year, expressing frustration with onerous demands from Zionist donors and hosting the leading conservative critics of Israel at his TPUSA events, Shillman apparently grew resentful.

A TPUSA insider has told The Grayzone that Shillman recently cancelled plans to erect the plaque bearing his name inside the conservative organization’s office complex. Those who contribute $1 million or more to TPUSA become eligible for an honorary plaque, but Shillman’s donations were said to be considerably higher.

A decade before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, and five years before Robert McCoy came to Montana to do damage control for the Potter’s Field Ministry, the Wilks money was helping to establish McCoy and other men of the faith for political involvement, according to this Reuter’s article:

One Sunday two years ago, Pastor Rob McCoy, who believes in banning abortion and gay marriage and putting prayer back in schools, stood at the pulpit of his California mega church and announced he was endorsing a political candidate: himself.

“Every single person in this room has been inculcated and trained to think that any time a pastor opens his mouth to talk about politics from the pulpit, somehow that’s wrong,” said the 51-year-old McCoy. “You’ve been taught incorrectly. There should be no other place that you should speak of it but from the pulpit.”

McCoy lost his bid for the California State Assembly but, with the help of 650 volunteers, mostly from his church, he later won a seat on the Thousand Oaks, California, city council.

The shift to politics that McCoy represents got noticed by the billionaire class, who helped grease the wheels to maximize this new political influence with an organization called the American Renewal Project, where a Republican operative by the name of David Lane got down to work with thousands and thousands of pastors (and their wives) across the country:

In the runup to November 2016, Lane says he is holding conferences in hotels across the country nearly every week, bringing together thousands of far right pastors and their wives for two-day, all-expenses paid retreats. There are lectures on running political campaigns, turning out voters, and injecting sermons with a healthy dose of politics.

They are lessons pastors such as Beryl Amedee put into practice after attending one of the gatherings over the summer, where she learned how to deal with the media and fend off attacks on her religion. In November, Amedee won a seat as a Louisiana state representative, beating out an 8-year incumbent.

“In the 1970s, our attitude was, ‘We are not of this world, Jesus is coming, so why bother with government?’,” said Amedee. “Now, we know we are the government.”

Helping fund the events are political donors like the billionaire Wilks brothers, who have given up to $10 million according to sources close to the family. The Wilks, together with their wives, have also given $15 million to a Super PAC supporting the presidential campaign of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a favorite of evangelicals.

What does this money buy? Does it buy weird opportunities for Robert McCoy to use his proximity to Hollywood stars, like Brittany Spears, through people that look more like mind-control handlers than managers?

Or maybe this billionaire Zionist Christian money trickles down to accomplish more practical things, like deploying the damage control services Robert McCoy brought to Montana to help quiet down what was emerging from Potter’s Field:

A new allegation against Potter’s Field Ministries founders Mike and Pam Rozell has surfaced from the owners of a Whitefish area ranch who claim the ministry leaders operated in bad faith and failed to make lease payments on the ranch property.

“They were the cause of our financial ruin,” said Amy Ericksen, who rented the property known as Potter’s Field Ranch—formerly the Whitefish Equestrian Center—to the Rozells from June 2018 to July 2019 when the ministry suddenly closed. amid allegations of abuse against interns.

“We suffered financially from their shenanigans and we still are suffering to this day.”

…

When the ministry came under fire for widespread abuse allegations, Ericksen said she was approached by Rob McCoy, who told her the ministry was shutting down, they were selling all of their properties and there was no money left to pay her. In 24 hours, and following a police raid on the ranch to check on the Potter’s Field interns, Ericksen hastily drew up the paperwork to terminate the lease, hoping to avoid any potential liability for wrongdoing that might have occurred at the ranch property and to recover any amount of money possible from her supposedly financially strapped lessee.

The key phrase in the above quote to consider is “abuse allegations” because I believe, due to the prevalence of “abuse allegations” from sex-trafficked victims across the globe, controlling (not helping) alleged abuse victims has become the BUSINESS INDUSTRY that many churches have allowed themselves to become a part of.

Now that I can see how Wilks cash has been sloshing around the Christian salvation-circuit for years, the Christian anti-trafficking LARP run by Lowell Hochhalter and family, called the LifeGuard Group, is making A LOT more sense…even their interest in horses and the trend of providing EQUESTRIAN THERAPY is coming into sharper focus!

As prey animals, horses have an awareness about the subtlest changes in their environment that makes them incredibly mindful of strong human emotions. Horses see insight into people in a way that people often do not see for themselves, which is why around one year ago, Kirsten Pabst decided to organize wellbeing workshops on her property in the Miller Creek area.

Pabst’s home, Sunridge Ranch, now acts as a wellbeing discovery center that offers a variety of workshops and events that promote team building, resilience and inspiration, and are aimed to reduce anxiety, burnout and feelings of being overwhelmed.

Kirsten Pabst? Yep, the former Queen Prosecutor of Missoula County, who started laying the ground work to play the victim card for prosecutors many years ago (covered here most recently last November), is finally cashing in on the vertical integration strategy for the predator class of running ALL the games in the abuse cycle, even the therapeutic recovery ones.

If you want to see a fictional depiction of this strategy at work, watch the movie Inherent Vice, where the problem of heroin junkies losing teeth is seen as an opportunity to infiltrate the dentist industry (didn’t Jeffrey Epstein pay for one of his girlfriend’s to attend dentist school? Yeah, he did).

Any little bit helps.

Tomorrow’s post will be a deft dismantling of a propaganda documentary about the Ravara housing development that I don’t have to see to know is propaganda, and it’s the kind of propaganda that a compromised media outlet, like the Montana Free Press, will happily amplify while conveniently forgetting to disclose their own close financial ties, so stay tuned!

And, as always, thanks for reading.

While idly scrolling Insta this morning I came across an unfamiliar name who is ALL OVER the Epstein Files. Who is Jeff Koons, I wondered, and why are people spending millions of dollars on his shitty art?

When I added “Montana” to the mix I discovered Jeff Koons and his “muse”, Lady Gaga, came to Montana over a decade ago for a little shindig at the Yellowstone Club.

If you read the comments to the right you will read that, according to “tatanga.co”, Montana…”has a way of pulling the right people in.“

“There’s nothing like it,” she says.

Five years before Gaga and Koons flew to Montana to talk about art, Koons was in Missoula talking about art. I wonder if laundering money for human traffickers who fuck children was a part of the polite conversation that evening?

What Koons talked about at the Yellowstone Club never made it out to the public, as this society piece coyly notes:

The Daily Mail reports that Jeff Koons and his muse Lady Gaga (or was it the other way around?) went on a little vacation last Friday. Not too shocking to hear, except they didn’t head to the Hamptons, Aspen, or some Mediterranean island, but rather to Montana. While the tabloid was largely concerned with a certain nipple-bearing selfie Gaga posted to her Instagram account while en route, we’re far more curious as to what the art stars were doing so far afield.

It seems the destination was Big Sky, where Koons was giving a talk at the Yellowstone Club, a luxury residential community. Gaga also brought along her pup, Asia, who posed for a picture with the pair.

Unfortunately, this mysterious “group chat” that Koons participated in doesn’t appear to have been documented anywhere other than Gaga’s Instagram feed, so we’ll just have to take her word for it. And while Montana isn’t exactly known for its bustling contemporary art scene, The Yellowstone Club is an exclusive resort and residential domain that charges an estimated $250,000 just to join (plus the cost of a $5–35 million mountainside home, as well as annual dues), so we imagine the duo felt right at home.

Yeah, I bet they did.

Before I get to the Epstein File excerpts I’ve curated for this post (art people love the word “curate”), let’s see what the current exhibits at the Missoula Art Museum look like to get a feel for where the art hosts of Jeff Koons in 2009 are at in 2026:

If I had to choose one word to describe what I’m looking at that word would be death because I see buffalo skulls, a pyramid-shaped skull, and an ugly hammer shaped blob that makes me think of the guy who brutally murdered a woman with a hammer two years ago, then drove her corpse to a gas station where he was arrested, something that rarely seems to happen to members of the Epstein network.

The Koons references in the Epstein files range from casual dinner plans to more formal invitations to the privileged spaces where rich Russians and Saudi royals co-mingle. I’ll start with the more formal description of Koons’ work, then show the more friendly side of these “art lovers”:

To answer the question posed by the title of this post, Montana is a safe space for demons because they appear confident nothing bad will happen to them here. Since the only figure local media seemed interested in writing about was the dinosaur guy, Jack Horner–and since the best writing on the Big Sky connections to Epstein is coming from a blogger with an ankle monitor (me), it makes sense that Montana is a very popular destination location for the rotten wealth destroying this country from within.

Speaking of wealth (or the lack thereof), the money crumbs I’ve been soliciting from readers through my GoFundMe page is apparently giving one reader this result:

If you are seeing this “Bad Gateway” result, feel free to email me at willskink at yahoo dot com, or let me know in the comments. I wouldn’t be surprised if this meager effort at raising funds was also somehow being targeted.

The most entitled generation in all known history, the Baby Boomer generation, aren’t going out like previous generations. Instead they’re bucking trends, like NOT downsizing their homes, according to this Wall Street Journal article:

Well-off boomers are increasingly upsizing their homes as they age, either buying bigger ones or financing additions to their existing properties. They are building guesthouses for family members and gourmet kitchens for entertaining, alongside such features as high-end grab bars and first-floor primary bedrooms for aging in place.

In the process, they are rewriting the rules of retirement and aging, when people are expected to move into smaller homes to save money.

Owning a home–often referred to as “The American Dream”–is more out-of-reach for non-Boomers than it’s ever been, but despite percentages plummeting for those in their 30’s, the overall home-ownership-rate has risen. Why?

A recent post on X by MacroEdge, an economic data organization, was at once jarring and unsurprising. From 1960 to 2025, the number of 30-year-olds who owned a home and were married has dropped from 52% to 12%. But the overall home ownership rate has risen, going from 62% in 1960 to 65% now, while home sales are up, due largely to Boomers buying multiple homes. This discrepancy is not an accident, but the outcome of a protectionist system that Boomers themselves have built.

The Boomer generation has for decades been lead architects of land-use policies that restrict home supply. This creates an artificial shortage that renders housing as a good investment – albeit one that only Boomers can afford. This fuels the rather jarring generational difference in home purchasing statistics.

Further down we get some more numbers highlighting how the engine of Boomer wealth is driving home sales:

According to a recent National Association of Realtors report, Baby Boomers made 42% of all home purchases despite comprising only 20% of the population. Millennials represented 29% and Gen Xers 24% of all purchasers. Overall, there’s a 44-point gap between homeownership between Boomers and Millennials, which is all the more notable given that those younger groups are in their prime home-buying years, while Boomers would, theoretically, be downscaling or moving into retirement complexes.

Much of this is due to Boomers buying multiple investment properties, avoiding high interest rates via all-cash purchases. These cash purchases, according to the Realtors Association, account for nearly half of all Boomer purchases.

My own father reflects this trend, I found out recently, when he bought my brother a house in Lawrence, Kansas. Not only was this probably a smart financial investment, it’s also a smart social investment for a 70 year old man in cognitive decline because it ensures that at least one kid might be around to switch out the dirty adult diapers when the time comes.

Here’s a good question for Boomer’s to think about: how much Boomer wealth will go to paying strangers (who will likely be on amphetamines) to do the diaper changing and other “in-home care” duties in those big, empty houses?

As someone who worked at Missoula Aging Services for 3 years, I can say that A LOT of the 93 trillion in Boomer wealth will make it to the black market via those diaper-changing tweakers going back and forth between suburbia and the pawn shop.

Baby boomers hold roughly $93 trillion in assets, but only $36 trillion could reach Gen X and millennial heirs over the next 20 years, according to new data.

The estimate, released last week by Visa Business and Economic Insights, is far below Cerulli Associates’ widely cited projection that as much as $124 trillion could change hands through 2048.

The gulf between the headline figures offers a sobering picture of the Great Wealth Transfer and exposes a basic problem with the way inheritance is often discussed: Assets held today are not the same as wealth available to heirs tomorrow.

A lot of assumptions about money might need to be reconsidered as the old world the Boomer’s knew gives rise to a new, more hostile one. To help, let’s consider two examples from my own “truly sad” life (mom’s words).

After providing descriptions of my behavior to the director of Winds of Change, my father was rebuffed at getting information about my mental health condition. Seeing a clear example of my perennial claim that this man uses money to control the people around him, I expressed these things called “feelings” about this paternal conduct, and his response was to claim that since he’s paying, he has a right to talk about me to my mental health provider.

Another example of diminishing returns for my father recently emerged when the Volkswagon dealership sold him a lemon, then refused to acknowledge the influence of his money when he threatened to take his business elsewhere. I can’t imagine how traumatic that must have been for him.

In the above article, the blackhole called “long term care” is projected to gobble up TRILLIONS of that Boomer wealth before the “heirs” see a dime.

Visa estimates boomers will draw down about $16 trillion over the next 20 years to cover housing, food, healthcare, prescription drugs, and other living expenses.

Those burdens will be especially acute for families with the fewest assets.

“Their position is different from previous generations because the retirement itself costs more, and more of that wealth gets eaten up before it ever reaches an heir,” Mills says.

Long-term care can accelerate that drawdown.

“Long-term care, healthcare, housing costs, and taxes on retirement account withdrawals can reduce an estate faster than families expect,” explains Zachary Sahar, CPA and managing director at Capital Tax.

Yep, this is 100% correct, and I saw more than my share of awful conversations happen at Missoula Aging Services every day, over and over again, because nothing destroys a family more effectively than family members jockeying for position over a quickly evaporating inheritance pay-out.

Back in March, before I started writing explicitly about the dysfunction of my own family dynamics, I was trying to claw myself out of the financial hole I dug for myself, but the advice I got from the man who bought his other son a house was pretty simple: declare bankruptcy.

“This is a zero-sum game,” he told me, referring to the fact he was no longer working, which meant that any dollar I got from him would be a dollar he couldn’t use for himself. He said this explicitly so that I understood exactly where he was coming from.

If Gen X can just step back from their feels, maybe we can see there’s an opportunity lurking in the Boomer’s brains going collectively soft, and that’s the unfiltered honesty you might get, and can document, so that the relevant agencies can be made aware of things that could harm minors, like parental alienation.

To wrap this post up, here’s a little screenshot from Montana Code Annotated about the kind of rights I have NOT relinquished in anyway whatsoever to a manipulative family member who really does use money to control the people around him.

Thanks for reading.

After putting a lot of time and resources into prosecuting Jason Ellsworth the guilty verdict has been thrown out. Why? Because accidents happen.

The guilty verdict in the official misconduct case against former Senate President Jason Ellsworth has been thrown out following revelations that jurors were exposed to sealed exhibits concerning communications with a potential key witness.

Lewis and Clark County District Judge Christopher Abbott said in a Wednesday court hearing that he learned Wednesday morning that jurors deliberating in the misdemeanor trial were inadvertently given exhibits by court staff regarding the scheduling of potential key witness Bryce Eggleston.

…

“The state does believe that there should be a new trial,” said Dan Guzynski, an assistant Montana attorney general, speaking at a mistrial hearing Wednesday. “I also want to make a brief comment that everybody makes mistakes, and this whole process, and what we’re all involved in, is subject to the human condition.”

Does the “human condition” that Montanans are subjected to, via actions taken with their tax dollars, mean we have to pay for how retarded people can be? I guess so.

For Jason Ellsworth the tossing out of his guilty verdict is an unexpected gift because his evasion of the bidding process when awarding a lucrative contract to his buddy was pretty obvious. I also find it interesting that the work that would have been done by his buddy was tracking legislative bills “curtailing the powers of Montana courts“:

Eggleston is Ellsworth’s longtime friend and former employee, who in 2024 pitched the senator on tracking the state’s progress implementing 27 legislative bills created by lawmakers with the purpose of curtailing the powers of Montana courts. Ellsworth signed two contracts totaling $170,000 for the proposed services on Dec. 26, 2024.

The work was to be performed by Agile Analytics, a then newly formed company for which Eggleston was the registered agent. Prosecutors allege that Ellsworth circumvented competitive bidding requirements and signed the contracts without a required review by state procurement agents.

Eggleston informed the Legislature in early 2025 that Agile was no longer interested in the work after Ellsworth’s handling of the agreements drew public attention.

While this effort blew up in Ellsworth’s face, holding this retarded state legislator accountable will now have to start over at square one. How embarrassing.

Speaking of embarrassing legislators who are so cognitively deficient they can’t even press the right button on a critical vote, who remembers what Tom Jacobson did 13 years ago with Medicaid expansion in Montana?

Yep, retarded Tom was so retarded that even the Washington Post had to marvel at his cataclysmic mistake:

Some states have declined to expand Medicaid because they oppose Obamacare. Others worry about the financial burden of expanding the entitlement. But there appears to be only one state where the Medicaid expansion failed due to a Democratic legislator accidentally voting against it.

Congratulations, Montana.

“We’re tremendously sorry about what happened,” Minority Leader Chuck Hunter, a Democrat, said of the mistaken vote. “Montanans are the losers in this outcome.”

The reporter continues with how unbelievable this idiocy appeared to be:

When I first read about this in a local Montana paper, it sounded unbelievable. How did a legislator get the vote wrong? And, if the vote was a mistake, was there some mechanism to change it? This was, after all, a vote deciding whether 70,000 Montanans would gain health coverage — and whether the state would massively expand an entitlement program.

So I started making some phone calls to Montana. Turns out everybody knew about this mistaken vote — and that the story was even more complex than I had thought.

The complexity about how legislative sausage is made doesn’t change the fact that, at the critical moment, Tom Jacobson fucked up so significantly, tens of thousands of regular Montanans were impacted. Impressive.

Nothing I’ve seen from local government since this vote has given me confidence that cognition deficiencies aren’t a continued threat. From police investigations to cleaning up homeless camps, when local government gets involved, everything just seems to get dumber and more expensive.

If you’d like to help me offset the cost of identifying cognition deficiencies in local government, which includes loss of paid work from the lawfare blowback, then please consider donating to my new GoFundMe page. The recent $20 dollar donation I received, for example, is MUCH appreciated.

Who is Penny Ronning and why do I think her work fighting human trafficking ensures Montana will remain a mecca for human traffickers?

Great question, let’s take a look at Penny’s supposed “credentials“:

Penny Ronning is a nationally recognized anti trafficking advocate and policy strategist known for turning survivor informed insight into laws that dismantle exploitation networks and strengthen public safety. The daughter of a trafficking survivor, Penny brings personal perspective and more than three decades of leadership advancing protections for victims and accountability for offenders.

She is co-founder and president of the Yellowstone Human Trafficking Task Force, Montana’s largest anti trafficking coalition. Through her policy work, Penny has helped pass 13 state laws and 5 federal bills strengthening anti trafficking and exploitation statutes and expanding investigative capacity.

While serving on the Billings City Council, Penny authored and led passage of a landmark ordinance targeting illicit massage businesses operating as fronts for trafficking. At the time, Billings had more illicit massage businesses per capita than New York City. Within one year, the ordinance shut down all known illicit massage businesses in Billings and remains a powerful tool for closing new operations as they emerge. The ordinance has been cited as a model for how local governments disrupt organized exploitation.

Penny is a national speaker, former congressional nominee, and recipient of the FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award. Her leadership has also been recognized with two invitations to the White House.

If Penny Ronning wasn’t a Democrat partisan engaging in narrative control around the Epstein Files, I might be inclined to take her work more seriously, but that’s what I see coming from this Democrat in her recent Facebook post comparing Seth Bodnar to Donald Trump while ignoring the Clinton/Epstein legacy, highlighted by the fact Bill Clinton was just recently spotted in Big Sky country.

Why does Montana seem like a safe space for high-profile abusers? Is it because we have “advocates” like Penny Ronning entering the political fray with shit like this?

Before we get to the non-English speaking teenager who stabbed a minor in the parking lot of Planet Fitness on Monday, let’s see what the liberal white ladies predominantly commenting on Penny’s FB post think about her brave advocacy:

Was it the “white, male patriarchy” who decided Missoula was a great place to relocate refugees to from around the world? Or was it virtue-signaling liberal white women, like Mary Poole?

While this white woman who only hires women (discriminate much?) smiles the smile of toxic empathy, it appears one of Soft Landing’s little experiments in schismogenesis learned how to wield a knife before acquiring the ability to speak English:

A Missoula judge set bail at $50,000 for an 18-year-old accused of stabbing a 16-year-old in the back of the head outside the Planet Fitness on Reserve Street on Monday.

Hussein Al-Ali was arrested Monday evening and charged with felony aggravated assault involving the use of a weapon.

Missoula County Justice Court Judge Landee Holloway informed Al-Ali through an interpreter in court Tuesday of the allegations made in the charging documents, including that Al-Ali stabbed the victim with a knife and continued active pursuit of the victim after the victim attempted to flee Al-Ali on two occasions during the altercation.

Al-Ali denied having a knife, after which Holloway informed Al-Ali that initial appearances are not the appropriate time to dispute details of charging documents.

While Hussein Al-Ali doesn’t speak English or understand the judicial system, he DID manage to somehow get a car and a driver’s license so that he could chase his stabbing victim with another potentially lethal weapon:

One witness allegedly described the punching as a downward motion, stating that she believed the victim was being punched until she saw blood and heard him saying he had been stabbed.

Witnesses also reported seeing the victim throw a water bottle at Al-Ali to get away from him, at which point Al-Ali allegedly returned to his vehicle to continue his pursuit of the victim.

With Missoula enjoying the benefits of this intentional multiculturalism, let’s return to Penny Ronning’s political post about human trafficking, Donald Trump and Seth Bodnar:

This comparison is pathetic. These 18 women had their moment in court, they got money for the alleged discrimination they experienced, but now they want MORE? Why? Because Seth Bodnar “just said no” to running as a toxic, self-destructive, virtue-signaling Democrat who must defend chemically castrating children and transplanting refugees to rape and stab people in their host communities to gain acceptance?

Here’s another question: how does any of this illuminate the EPSTEIN NETWORK and the power of non-partisan wealth indulging in unimaginable depravities across the globe?

For Penny Ronning there’s a “dangerous turn” coming that she describes after acknowledging Bodnar’s achievements “deserve consideration”, but the danger has nothing to do with the implosion of the Democratic party in Montana, which was the catalyst for creating the political environment where an independent run by a candidate like Seth Bodnar became possible in the first place.

No, instead she claims the danger is “idolatry” because I guess it has to be something religious-sounding, like alleged hero worship, that could be so dangerously standing in the way of 18 women being able to continue playing their victims cards to destroy the candidacy of Seth Bodnar.

This pathetic political post isn’t just a disservice to victims of human trafficking, of which BOYS are also victims, it’s also a text-book example of using the straw man fallacy to win an argument, which, in this case, is the argument posed by Bodnar supporters that he’s the stronger candidate.

If Penny Ronning would like to be more effective at her supposed job of combatting human trafficking in Montana, here’s a suggestion: click and read ALL the links in this post, then donate money to ME because, unlike Nick Shirley, I’m an actual citizen journalist taking actual risks by looking at local power without partisan blinders on and reporting back what I see.
