Cowboy State Politics

Politically motivated prosecutions also happen in Wyoming.  On Wednesday, I'll bring you the story of two of them..

LCSD1 Superintendent Margaret Crespo is finally done in Laramie County.  But she shouldn't have been allowed to resign.  After what she has done or not done in Cheyenne she should have been fired.

The big arguments never really change--what are men and women and who should have religious freedom.  Joey Correnti joins me to discuss his complaint to the Secretary of State.  And I finally reveal the email that Rep Clark Stith sent to me regarding his debate challenge.

Replay - Cowboy State Politics Live from August 3, 2023.  Guest Joey Correnti for the entire hour.  Hunter and Joe Biden, Aliens, the Fremont County Library board and more!

Chairman of the Wyoming Freedom Caucus, Rep John Bear joins me to discuss his call for the State of Wyoming to disassociate itself from the American Library Association.  We also discuss a curious but very important passage in the Wyoming Constitution--Article 7 Section 20.

There are still places in Wyoming where your phone won't work.  It's important that you find them.  Here's why...

The Wyoming Freedom Caucus wants the Governor to cut ties to the American Library Association.  There's a good reason for it--the ALA really is a radical political organization.  And a member of the ALA's leadership has her roots right here in the Cowboy State.  And Governor Gordon NOW says we need to be cautious about spending...after he demanded a supplemental budget.

The governor says we have to be cautious with our spending...after he signed a multi-hundred million dollar supplemental budget.  And some of the most radical members of the American Library Association have their roots right here in the Cowboy State!

Cowboy State Politics Live for July 27, 2023.  The numerous public/private partnerships in our country.   Are they all what Dwight Eisenhower was wanting about?

One year ago, Buffalo resident Alison Williams joined the program to talk about Intervarsity, a group that ministers to fraternities and sororities.  She just returned from a mission trip to Kenya.  She explains what life is really like for some in Africa and weighs in on the UW sorority controversy. 

Laci Schiffer responding to a question during the public comment period of the July 17 Joohnson County Commissioner's meeting.

It's rodeo time in Johnson County.  It's also time to take a look at how the fairgrounds is run.  According to the 2022 financial statements, it's a disaster.  Numbers always tell the story.

Rep Clark Stith wrote a response to 2 letters published in the Cowboy State Daily.  One of them was mine.  I thought I would respond the the numerous distortions in Stith's piece.

The legislature voted to spend $10 Million on a shooting sports complex.  It's a little more complicated than just a big shooting range.  Reps Rachel Rodriguez-Williams, Mark Jennings and Ken Pendergraft join me to discuss it.  They also respond to allegations that it was the conservatives who tanked property tax reform.

UW finished their report on free speech.  It turns out they really aren't interested in it at all.  They are setting up the thought police.  The Fremont County Library board isn't all that interested in free speech either.  They disregarded board candidates merely on their own political biases.

Preview of Wednesday's Cowboy State Politics.  UW really doesn't care about free speech, they're setting up the thought police!

Two weeks ago, hosts on Sheridan Media completely misrepresented council members Kristen Jennings and Andy Patceg.  Last Thursday, the two got their chance to respond.

There are thousands of head of missing head of livestock in Wyoming.  Until now, there has been 1 article about an investigation.  It happens in every Wyoming county why isn't law enforcement conducting more investigations?  There are way more questions than there are answers.

Wyoming State Auditor Kristi Racines put the entire state checkbook online--every last red cent of it.  She joined me to talk about that project and the importance of government transparency.  Also, the Wyoming State Library is training people to fight against the far right.

State Auditor Kristi Racines will join me to talk about transparency in Wyoming.  She put the state's entire checkbook online.  Every singe red cent is open to the public.

There is no possible way that 26 representatives control anything in the Wyoming House.  Yet, there are people in leadership trying to convince you it is.  What exactly is a Redcoat and how do you spot one?...

Rep Crago wrote an op-ed in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle about "Inconvenient Truths."  What is inconvenient about it is he left out a few facts about his own voting record.  He and the Redcoats could have fixed property taxes anytime they wished and they didn't do it.  Rep John Bear joins me to discuss it.

Replay of Cowboy State Politics Live July 7, 2023.  Coke in the White House, Men can "chest feed."  An op-ed in the Red Star advocating for "stable revenue sources," and much more.

Our elected officials are mathematically challenged.  None of them ever pencil out what their proposals actually mean.  There is no better example than climate change.  Mark Gordon and now, Nancy Case are the worst offenders. 

Happy Independence Day! Our Declaration of Independence is unique--it's different than any other political document for one main reason.

The Revenue Committee discussed taxes on energy Tuesday in Sheridan.  Nancy Case has found a new way to try to fleece you.  Sen Bo Biteman calls it "pixie dust," which is exactly what it is.

On June 27, 2023 Johnson County Commissioner Bill Novotny and HD40 Representative Barry Crago held a property tax forum at Buffalo High School.

Representative Barry Crago and Commissioner Bill Novotny put on a property tax forum on Tuesday.  The results were not what they expected.  Though the entire event remained civil, hard questions were posed to both politicians.

Sheridan Media doesn't think the Constitution is important if you are a city council member.  On their "Open Line Friday," 3 hosts explained that in Sheridan you shouldn't pay attention to it.  Council Members Kristen Jennings and Andy Patceg join the program to respond.

The 2022 Audit has revealed some shocking facts about Johnson County's finances.  In short, our books are a mess.  Law Enforcement in Johnson County is on the receiving end of it.  Also, the audit shows that one of the biggest events of the year loses money.

Would you have crawled into that submarine run by a game controller? Some people did. The Red Star is carrying water for EarthJustice. Who are they? And much more!

Johnson County has a big audit problem and has for 6 years.  But evidently nothing has been about it.  UW set up a free speech task force that ignores free speech.

This administration is not concerned with actual job ability.  They fill positions just because people fit a particular profile.  And we wonder why our country is in the shape it is...

While on vacation in Texas, I had a chance to sit down with Chad Prather from BlazeTV to talk about the University of Wyoming.  I had a great time and its an interesting discussion.

Cowboy State Politics Live for June 8, 2023.  Gillette's dumb new hate crime ordinance, AI, drug dogs can now sniff your vehicle without a warrant.  But is that Constitutional??

Do companies really believe all of this woke stuff that's being shoved down our throat?  Former Levi's CMO Jennifer Sey joins me to talk about woke capitalism and the costs of it.  She's also written a book about being cancelled from Levi's called Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job But Gave Me My Voice.  It's a great discussion. 

Wyoming has sued the feds over grizzlies.  The USFWS doesn't care about bears or people for that matter.  It's about controlling what the state does and listening to environmentalists.

You paid for a pair of radicals to travel the state and talk about how terrible the Constitution is.  The Wyoming Humanities Council helped Sanford and Cynthia Levinson--two left-wing authors--distribute and talk about their book "Fault Lines in the Constitution" in several Wyoming towns.  To them, the Constitution is a terribly dysfunctional document.

Replay of the June 1 Live Program.  The Utopia they're trying to turn us into.  Alex Soros is a frequent guest of the White House and woke capitalism. 

Last month, the Wyoming State GOP re-elected their leadership.  State GOP Chairman Frank Eathorne, Vice-Chairman David Holland and Secretary Donna Rice join me to discuss their elections and the direction the party is going to take in the coming two years.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  My thoughts on what Memorial Day really is.

Susan Stubson penned an op-ed claiming that Wyoming is being overrun by Christian Nationalists.  But she never presents a real definition of what that term means.  What she does claim is completely and historically wrong.  I spoke with Pastor Jonathan Lange about her article and the reason she wrote it.
