Montana is a western red state with a strong Conservative presence. That presence however was has been thwarted in the opposition of two-term Democrat, Jon Tester. Tester was first elected in 2006 and took advantage of a weak Republican showing(thanks Mitt) in 2012 to remain in his seat. Trump won Montana by around 20% making the Senate a priority for the Conservative movement in the 2018 Election. Fortunately, prominent Conservatives have recognized this opportunity, much like in West Virginia, as an opportunity to put a reliable Conservative in a safe seat. Matt Rosendale may just be the guy.
Best Pick: Matt Rosendale
Worst Pick: Russ Fagg
MT Sen
Jon Tester is a typical Democrat in the Senate. However, he finds himself in a red state and a seat that the Republicans are salivating over. With the Democrats abandoning Flyover Country, the Republicans have a good opportunity here. But there are four challengers facing off first. Like Indiana, Montana went for Trump by about 20 points. Unlike Indiana, the options aren’t so pitiful. The two heavyweights in this bout are Russell Fagg and Matt Rosendale. Rosendale has the Endorsements of Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, and Rand Paul. Rosendale has a lot of Conservative support and organizational backing that make him a very formidable candidate. Russ Fagg is a former State Rep. with a lot of state official endorsements. Fagg is campaigning as a conservative at times. He is most focused on contrasting himself with Rosendale.
Montanans deserve a US Senator that believes in law & order, not an east coast transplant like Matt Rosendale who is soft on crime.
Right and wrong are black and white. Judge Russ Fagg has been & will be tough on crime, and Matt Rosendale is wrong for #Montana.

In this ad, Fagg is campaigning on the death penalty which is a state issue for the most part. The death penalty isn’t the only policy, Fagg is actively emphasizing, he is also attacking Rosendale’s funding.

This could easily be seen as whining about how he’s not the recipient. As proven many times before, money does not buy elections. It helps, but in the end, good campaigners win. Bad campaigners lose winnable elections. Fagg is a bad campaigner, and he’s opposing a Democrat incumbent. Fagg is highly likely to blow this opportunity if given to him. Outside resources are necessary to assist Conservatives denied such by their state parties, and on principle, we should not bat an eye. Voters are responsible for researching their candidates.
Other candidates include Albert Olszewski, a state Senator with an outstanding Conservative record and more authenticity than Rosendale who has embellished his rancher status. Olszewski is a really likable Conservative. The unfortunate fact seems as though he doesn’t stand the best chance in the primary. The last candidate is Trey Downing. He is the least interesting candidate that has some residency issues. Rosendale stands the best chance to win this race. He has solid Conservative backing. We can only hope this means he doesn’t intend to join the swamp.
Conservative Pick: Matt Rosendale
District 1
After a year in office, Greg Gianforte has shown he has some potential. He voted against Omnibus and other fiscally irresponsible measures. Hopefully, he remains strong in the swamp.
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
