Morning Reload - The Marxists and Labor Day 9/5

Labor Day really isn't about barbecues and fishing.  It really started as a Canadian idea that was picked up by a marxist.  It was fueled by a nationwide riot and ended with the Democrats negotiating with unions.

Weekend Update - The Democrats’ Rank Hypocrisy

The Democrats never fail to supply ample amounts of hypocrisy.  Joe Biden's Thursday night speech is no exception.  In fact, he presided over objections to elections himself.  But those objections weren't a clear and present danger now were they?!

Where We Are Now 8/31

We have been told so many lies over the past two years.  Every single one of them seemingly extends the power of the Administration.  To what end?  Author Mattias Desmet argues that that end is totalitarianism.  I discuss his article with author Charles Cole.  This is a great discussion.

Morning Reload - Misplaced Education Arguments

The WEA (Wyoming Teacher's Union) has filed a lawsuit against the Wyoming Legislature claiming, laughably, that we aren't giving them enough of our money.  Their argument is really pointed in the wrong direction.

My interview with Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe.  His response to the guilty pleas of the couple that provided Ashley Biden's diary and a discussion about Liberty.  Also, the Corporations Committee is up to their old tricks.  With the majority of that group not returning to the legislature, they are trying to strip the Secretary of State of his election oversight duties.

Sesame Street Meets Medicaid Expansion 8/24

Once again we have to put up with yet another medicaid expansion bill.  There are a ton of reasons this is a horrendous idea.  Also, I briefly introduce you to the fight of a young Wyoming boy from Riverton with cancer and what doctors in Utah are trying to do to him and his family.

Morning Reload - Circus Side-Show Magicians 8/22

What really happened in the 2022 Wyoming Primary is not what the media is telling you.  They would like to dismiss conservative victories as, simply, Liz's fault.  As usual, they are insulting your intelligence.

The Wyoming Primary Election is in the bag.  Some thoughts on the outcome and a quick wrap-up.

Morning Reload - Follow the Money 8/15

In politics, most of the time, all you have to do is follow the money.  In this case, the incumbents that Wyoming Hope PAC gave money to are the same people that Western Conservatives are campaigning for.  They're all Redcoated liberal Republicans.  Not a coincidence.

Weekend Update - A Conversation with Rod Miller

Rod Miller and I don't agree on very much.  In fact, there are only a few things.  In March, we decided to have a debate right before the Primary Election and here it is.  Also, a brief discussion of the recent polling by UW and the dumb campaign mailing of Crickets Cheney.

Morning Reload - Keith for Mayor 8/8

Dayton, WY stripped their mayor of most responsibilities last year.  The details of which are still a little fuzzy.  Keith Reichert is running for that office this election season.  He has a plan to save the town millions and he knows how to do it.  We had a fascinating discussion.

Morning Reload - Dumb School Districts and Wacky Weed 7/25

Liz Cheney has a long list of leftists that support her--some truly spooky people.  In this episode I expose them for you.

Ink By The Barrel 6/1

Democrats never let a good tragedy go to waste and Sleepy Joe never misses an opportunity to talk about gun control.  Rod Miller thinks that we need more regulation on guns.  Rex Rammell should have listened to Mark Twain and not picked a fight with a guy who buys ink by the barrel or has an infinite supply of electrons.
