This must never happen again.

As Congressman Matt Rosendale has stepped out of the Senate race, there are two things we the people need to do at this moment:

• First, wait, pray, and be careful of what we say. Wait until Matt makes his decision about running for Congress again. And, if you have heard other rumors don’t pass them on without proof.

• Second, we should be Lazer focused on working to hold those elitists responsible - who have taken away your opportunity to vote in this primary. We must focus on returning the decision to the people. We must work to ensure that this can never happen again – i.e. “Four Horsemen, you don’t vote for us.” This is not the first time these players have done this, but it must be the last.

Bringing clarity:

• Let me state clearly that my previous three articles are still relevant even though Matt is not in the senate race. In the second article Who Will Decide… this senate race, Daines calls Tim Sheehy “a rising star Republican” even though he has done nothing in the party. Daines also threatened Rosendale saying that “he had Billionaires willing to spend a lot of money to defeat him.” We need to confidently ask these elitists - these Four Horsemen of Montana Republican Party - why they feel crowned to choose for us. We need to resolutely say, you have chosen for at least the second time. No More! And who are these four horsemen? Senator Steve Daines, Governor Greg Gianforte, Congressman Ryan Zinke, and radio host Aaron Flint who has worked for Gianforte in the past.

• We need to ask Tim Sheehy to convince us – to make a compelling case for him being a true conservative that should replace Tester. And, to do that without his surrogates doing it for him. We certainly respect Tim’s service, but what are his qualifications and his vision for Montana? Convince us without all the military rhetoric. Tim still has not explained how his positions on Climate Change, DEI, and ESG were not compromises. (See p 11)

In a recent TV interview in Bozeman, Senator Steve Daines described who you will now be allowed to vote for in the U.S. Republican Senate primary. He said, “Now that Rosendale has dropped out of this race, this allows Republicans to unite behind Tim Sheehy.” Senate candidate and former Montana Secretary of State Brad Johnson is just cannon fodder to Daines. In this article (p.12) you can see that Steve Daines, Mitch McConnell and the establishment have been involved in picking winner and losers before.

The pilot of this power-ship is Senator Steve Daines who is obviously now focused on becoming the new Republican leader in the Senate as reported by Aaron Flint on Montana Talks.

Ryan Zinke, while still Secretary of the Interior under Trump, jump-started his Navy Seal friend Sheehy’s business just a year after the Sheehy’s moved to Montana in 2014. His department awarded Sheehy’s company it’s very first contracts. It is my understanding that businesses usually don’t get huge government contracts without a previous, impressive resume – something Bridger Aerospace did not have before the Zinke factor. (Much more on pages 7 and 8.)

This article on Rumble happened before Rosendale got out of the race, but it is now even more relevant because, unless Brad Johnson can beat Sheehy in the primary, Tim will run against Tester and probably lose. The best info I have says Tim is down about 9 points to John Tester.

Take about 6 minutes and listen to the first part of this, these are things Bannon said:
Steve Bannon on the War Room (1:30 minutes) calls Steve Daines Mitch McConnel’s bitch, hard wired into the money of the NRSC. He said Trump’s group did not think well in endorsing Sheehy… “Anybody in Trump’s orbit that advocated for Tim Sheehy is not MAGA – is not America First (3:15 min.)” Steve Daines was in bed to get money for the war in Ukraine… he is a globalist… friendly with the CCP. Steve Daines does not represent the values of the patriots of Montana. Sheehy is another of these political Seals who is going to do exactly what they tell him to do. You can listen for yourself.

Steve Daines and Greg Gianforte worked - and helped to finance - the defeat of Dr. Albert Olszewski in the Western District Congressional primary race in 2022 as you can read here (under Picking Winners and Losers p.12) As I state clearly, Daines and Gianforte had their fingers in this race and likely influenced the outcome. Meanwhile, they received constant support for Ryan Zinke from Aaron Flint’s statewide radio program. No matter what kind of a case you made about Zinke’s residence, his issues that made him have to step down as Secretary of Interior, etc., all you heard from Aaron was denials. Never stopping for a second to consider your point, he would just spin away from the issue.

If you read and think carefully you will realize that these two letters are bombshells. Interestingly, the Flathead County Republican Central Committee wrote a letter to Steve Daines asking why his communications director published a letter which accused Rosendale of being a plant/spy for the Democratic Party.

But the bombshell is in Mike Berg’s response where he gave the middle finger to the Flathead group and all of Montana. Essentially, he said we are going to do this and we don’t care what you think. In his response, Mike Berg, Daine’s Communications Director used rhetorical arguments about things Matt said, essentially quoting him out of context, to justify their accusations. And of course, no apologies. More importantly, no apology for VOTING FOR YOU in this primary. If you listen regularly to Montana Talks, you heard one side of this story!

Aside from all the noise, I encourage you to stay focused on working wisely, judiciously, honestly, and with resolve. You will not vote for me again must be our battle cry.
This must be done strategically. Our worst enemies will be our own who refuse to think before they speak.

After this original piece was published, sources informed the Montana Sentinel that not only did Daines invest in $1M in attack ads on Rosendale, but that there was an additional $20M ready to go.
