Editor: The news that a former President illegally removed extremely sensitive and classified documents from the White House is shocking. Even more shocking is just how much there was, at last count following the recent execution of a search warrant, somewhere between 25 and 30 boxes. We will almost surely never know much detail about what is contained in those papers, but we do now know they included nuclear and SIGINT secrets. Of all the kinds of information this country gathers, those two subjects involve the most sensitive and closely guarded.

Women need to stick together to protect our Montana constitution to prevent extremists from chipping away at our rights.

I recently have been studying some data showing how the economy does during Democratic tenures in the White House compared to Republican presidencies. This is for the period following World War II, during the Truman administration, with the latest numbers coming from 2020, just prior to Biden taking office. The information is unexpectedly interesting. For example, 10 of the last 11 recessions have started under Republican presidents. Democratic presidents create more than twice as many jobs per year as Republican presidents.

Please forward this to the FBI: In regards to your search for things stolen from the White House, keep your eye out for the Bully Pulpit. I think he swiped that too.

It’s time for The Enterprise to cut off this guy’s gluttonous appetite for attention. Assign him to yesterday’s news and free up front page space for your fine state and local coverage.
