The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is the annual gathering of the modern movement within the Republican Party. While the conference was formed in 1974, in recent years it has transformed alongside its party to become a breeding ground for the MAGA movement. Donald Trump continues to hold a tight grip on the GOP and every guest in attendance this year is quite happy about it. From Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-NY, to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, all of them spoke in the echo chamber of the modern Trump view of the world. The main goal of the weekend for many of the speakers was not just rallying the movement of Republicans before November but making a grab for the still open spot as Trump’s running mate. Whether you like it or not, he’s here to stay and isn’t letting go of the Republican Party anytime soon.

This summer, my family and I took my grandma on a road trip to Montana to see her childhood best friend. While we were out there, she took us to a few of her favorite places to visit and photograph wildlife.
The bison range is located on the Flathead Indian Reservation. At the beginning of 2022, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes assumed complete management over the nature reserve. It is home to a variety of species, some of which I was able to photograph. My favorite to photograph were the bison, especially when a bison stopped to lick right in front of the car.
While at Glacier National Park, we spent two days driving around and stopping at various places for the scenery and the wildlife. There is only one way through the entire park called Logan’s Pass also known as the Going to the Sun Road. Due to the high altitudes and tremendous amounts of snow during the winter, there was still some snow on either side of the roadway that had been plowed off to get the park open. The photos of the fox and ground squirrel are my favorite ones I have taken. The little ground squirrel had wandered out of the brush while I was trying to watch the red fox climb down the embankment and stood up looking for the fox, too.
