overstepped his authority. As attorney general, I will
continue to fight to protect all Montanans from federal
overreach.”
Attorney General Knudsen filed a lawsuit against
the Department of Education’s rule in April.
The rule expanded Title IX, which prohibits
discrimination in education on the basis of sex, to include
“gender identity.” This unlawful rule will ultimately
prohibit schools from distinguishing between males
and females in athletic and educational opportunities,
which will put women at an unfair disadvantage. It will
force boys and girls to share bathrooms, locker rooms,
dorms, and even overnight lodging while on a school
trip. Further, it will stop the progress toward equal
opportunity for women in education programs and
activities across the country and in Montana.”
Montana and the other plaintiff states Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Idaho are the first to receive an
injunction on the rule.

Elks Lodge, Glasgow, MT 10 am - 4 pm Sat.

Tired of constantly being broke and stuck in an

unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve
both problems by taking out a large insurance policy
on his wife, with himself as the beneficiary, and then
arranging to have her “done away with”.
A ‘friend of a friend’ put him in touch with a
nefarious, dark-side underworld figure who went by the
name of ‘Artie.’ Artie explained to the husband that his
going price for snuffing out of a spouse was $10,000.
The husband said he was willing to pay that
amount but that he wouldn’t have any cash on hand
until he could collect his wife’s insurance money. Artie
insisted on being paid at least something up front, so
the man opened his wallet, displaying a single dollar
bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes
and reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down
payment for the dirty deed.
A few days later, Artie followed the man’s wife to
the local Costco Warehouse. There, he surprised her
in the produce department and proceeded to strangle
her with his gloved hands. As the poor unsuspecting
woman drew her last breath and slumped to the floor,
the manager of the produce department stumbled
unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to leave
any living witnesses behind, ol’ Artie had no choice but
to strangle the produce manager as well.
However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings
were captured by the hidden security cameras and
observed by the shop’s security guard, who immediately
called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before
he could even leave the premises.
Under intense questioning at the police station,
Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his
unusual financial arrangements with the hapless
husband who was also quickly arrested.
The next day in the newspaper, the headline
declared, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it... (You’re going
to hate us for this...)

 his parents had received as a wedding present. “I’d watch
my mom sew, but I had never sewn…and since making
the flag of our country, I’ve never sewn again.”
What’s even more astonishing, however, is the
fact that Heft didn’t score a perfect grade for his school
project. His teacher was unimpressed and gave him a
B-. It’s believed that Heft discussed the grade with his
teacher, and the two joked that if Congress selected
Heft’s design, his grade would be changed to an A. “If
you don’t like the grade, get it accepted in Washington,
then come back and see me.”
Two years later Heft received a call from President
Dwight D. Eisenhower who invited him to Washington,
D.C., for a ceremony adopting his 50-star flag. To the
surprise of both parties, Congress did, in fact, choose
Heft’s design. Since then, Congress has continued to
recognize Heft’s design as the official American flag.
