Taxes, Taxes, Taxes.  It's usually a pretty good sign that we are being taxed too much when the government decides to give us some of our money back.  For breakfast, Rep Mark Jennings and Mike Arzy joined me to discuss possible solutions to the giant tax notices we all received.

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.

Breaking News Update - $334,000 for What? 4/28

The county assessor is required to attend yearly courses to make sure your taxes are assessed accurately.  There is one county assessor in Wyoming that has made no attempt to do that--her entire term.  Elected officials must be accountable to their voters--they must uphold the law.  And this assessor has not done that.

A Constitution Bee 4/27

Schools across the country are refusing to teach the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.  The Sons of Freedom, a group in Park County, has decided to do it themselves by starting a "Constitution Bee."  If we aren't satisfied with our government it is up to us to do something about it.

Morning Reload - Nancy’s Latest Literature 4/25

Sen Cale Case published a ridiculous op-ed over the weekend.  He wants you to believe that the vast majority of Wyoming Citizens agree with him.  He goes on and on about how extreme the WY Republican Platform is.  But he doesn't mention how many times he has tried to push medicaid expansion through our legislature.

Over the Easter holiday, the Cow Pie published an article about the new abortion clinic in Casper.  In it, the authors try to convince you that the killing of innocent human beings is somehow "reproductive healthcare."  It's not.  I explain in detail why this claim isn't anywhere close to the truth.

Weekend Update - Elites and the Rest of Us 4/16

Over the past 2 years many of the folks in Cheyenne have shown us who they really are--a group of elite Redcoats.  One of the people trying to change that is my friend Ken Pendergraft.  He's running for House District 29 in Sheridan County.  He's the first to sit down and discuss his candidacy with me.
