Across the country, care for veterans is an afterthought. This is especially true in rural states like Montana where veterans may live hundreds of miles away from the nearest Veterans Affairs location. Oftentimes, veterans face long wait times and frequently rescheduled appointments. This is unacceptable care for the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms!

As a kid I spent more time outdoors than in. I swear there isn’t an inch of the Whitefish and Flathead Rivers I didn’t row, a trail in Jewel Basin I didn’t hike, and a campground in Glacier I didn’t overnight. But today, it’s becoming more difficult to find a spot to camp, hike, fish or hunt – and that’s a problem.

I would Like to thank Congressman Zinke for his continued strong support to secure our borders. It only takes a couple of conversations around the community to hear about how the Southern and Northern borders being wide open is a threat to our country.

I saw a headline last year about Zinke leading the efforts to impeach Secretary Mayorkas and hold President Biden accountable for the drugs and crime that have come into the country.

Tuesday, March 5 - Two Republican lawmakers are calling for the removal of a Veterans Affairs official responsible for a since-rescinded memo that directed the removal of the iconic V-J Day in Times Square photograph from VA health care centers.

Montana Sen. Steve Daines and Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont. wrote to VA Secretary Denis McDonough after an X account, "End Wokeness," published a memo sent from Assistant Under Secretary for Health Operations RimaAnn Nelson last week.

Zinke on Newsmax
January 9, 2024

Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., told Newsmax on Monday that Republicans have “evidence” that appears to show a “bribery streak” on the part of President Joe Biden.

“All roads lead to Rome,” Zinke said on “Newsline” when asked about Biden’s alleged connections to his son’s businesses.

“You’ve heard the saying,” he added, “and all roads lead to Biden.”

Medicare cuts

Thank you, Congressman Ryan Zinke.

I am a physical therapist who is honored to have the opportunity to go to work each day to improve the health and quality of life for the residents of the Flathead Valley.  

Montanans know, and can surely feel, that costs for everything have increased greatly over the past few years. This burden has been felt at the gas pumps, grocery stores and when a Montanan looks into purchasing a home.

The University of Montana (UMT) is taking heat from Republican lawmakers in the state after defending a program that allows groups tied to the Chinese Communist Party to host and pay for student trips to China.

UMT is offering a controversial study abroad program in China, referred to as the "CUSEF cultural exchange," that has raised national security concerns from state lawmakers who say the groups that fund the trips are "an organ of the CCP’s approach to influence operations."

Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., told Newsmax Monday that Congress is going to flex the “power of the purse” to demand substantive changes in border security.

“Ukraine is a war that most Americans see on a TV, and it's atrocious,” Zinke said during an appearance on Newsmax’s “National Report.” “But the border? We see it every day. We see it in New York; we see it in Billings, Montana. We see it everywhere.”

We need legislators like Rep. Ryan Zinke to protect our country from a terrorist-supporting group of people like the Palestinians. They are the ones who voted for Hamas to run their country.  They are the ones who protect and supply the recruits that make up this terrorist organization.  

And you want to call Zinke (a military veteran) a racist for denying them entry to this great nation. Zinke deserves our respect and praise for his stand on this subject and not the disrespectful rhetoric put out by the haters.
