Welcome to Heartland Diary USA, the new website of Montana author Frank Miele, the former editor of The Daily Inter Lake. Frank’s weekly column on national politics is now published on Mondays at realclearpolitics.com and will also be linked here. “After 14 years of writing my Editor’s 2 Cents column for the Daily Inter Lake
The tone-deaf left doesn’t understand why conservative Americans have chosen President Donald Trump as our leader. It’s easy — because he is the only politician who consistently and courageously calls out the radical left for their assault in American freedoms and on common sense. Four minutes of President Trump’s rally speech in Rio Rancho, NM,
My column today at Real Clear Politics hits on a theme I have pondered for a while — why am I and so many others confident of Trump’s re-election when the polls all have him down by 10 points even against a lightweight like Beto O’Rourke? Maybe it all comes down to faith in the
The Fake News Media won’t give up in smearing conservatives. The question now is when will America give up on the Fake News Media? This morning we woke up to the outrageous story from the New York Times that the FBI didn’t investigate yet another sexual assault allegation against Justice Brett Kavanaugh. This the equivalent
This story says it all about why our nation needed a truth teller like Donald Trump to become our president. For the most part, the mainstream media are not going to tell you what happened outside Target Field in Minneapolis on August 3 when a man was savagely beaten by a dozen other men after

Kennedy starts out by reminding viewers that we don’t
On the anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, I always want to look back and remind myself of what this country has been through, and to strengthen me for what is still to come. Here is a column I wrote in the Daily Inter Lake to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the terror
UPDATE: not sure how it happened, but with 99 percent of vote counted, Republican Dan Bishop has apparently pulled out a victory against Democrat Dan McCready. My earlier reading on the vote count made it look impossible, so I’m gonna call it a minor miracle! Either that or the stats I read at the New
Unbelievably reckless reporting from CNN has put in danger the lives of a Russian defector and his wife. Either that, or it has put in danger the last shred of credibility that CNN had as a news organization. CNN’s Jim Sciutto on Monday reported that the CIA had in 2017 extracted a high level covert
