Morning Reload - Racism From The Pulpit

It's bad enough when columnists don't bother to check their facts before publishing in the paper, but when they distort facts it's an entirely different story.  An article in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle is guilty on both counts.  And it turns out that the author has a blog....

Weekend Update - Cheney and Conservatism

'Sheep Lives Matter,' or so said a sign in Powell.  And, people are offended.  Also, despite everything Liz Cheney says, she is not a conservative nor has she ever been.  In this episode I explain exactly what Liz Cheney's political ideology is. 

We’re All Radicals

We have all had enough of Liz Cheney and for good reason.  Since before Jan 6, Cheney has been ignoring Wyoming.  And now that she is vice-chair of the witch-hunt, every other issue that is important to Wyoming Citizens has taken a back seat.  In this episode I explain why  Also, her challenger Harriet Hageman did an interview with Sean Hannity.  Here's part of it.

Morning Reload - Cheney and Sloppy Work

Liz Cheney couldn't help herself from parading around on January 6th.  She did so while attacking Wyoming Republicans...and so did the Red Star.

Weekend Update - Critical Racist Theory

On Wednesday, the Johnson County School District held a work-session about critical racist theory.  The board had tasked two of their history teachers to inform them about what it is.  It was a great and informative presentation. 

Bigfoot and Whiskey Glasses

On this 50,000 download celebration--sorry about your luck Redcoats--the pointed questions I asked Marissa Selvig, candidate for the United States House of Representatives.  And there is a story about bigfoot being in Wyoming!  To top it all off, it is Captain Kirk doing the story.  Okay it's William Shatner, but it's totally interesting.

Morning Reload - Dodson’s Stanford Education

Former Senate candidate David Dodson, decided to dazzle us with his Stanford education in the Red Star.  His grammar problems aside, he doesn't seem to understand our system of government.  Also, yesterday I spoke with Marissa Selvig about switching parties.  There is a piece of it in this episode.

Weekend Update - Former Liquor Stores and Kool-Aid

Happy New Year! In this episode, I discuss a few news articles from around the state.  The Red Star must have found a secret stash in their new location.  CapCityNews seems to think Israel is in Wyoming and County 17 pats the CCPL on the back for making some progress with their porn collection.

Bonus - Plans, Plans, Options and Plans

What's being discussed by the Corporations Committee really doesn't bear too much resemblance to what was presented to Wyoming Citizens.  Why?  Because everyone has their own plan for redistricting.

Call It By Name, It’s Gerrymandering

Redistricting hasn't got a lot of press--that's on purpose.  There is an attempt to redistrict conservatives out of their home districts.  And, it is being done at the expense of rural Wyoming counties.

Morning Reload - Hands in the Cookie Jar

Fresh off of the Christmas break, I discuss how much the legislature thinks you are paying attention.  The Revenue Committee made some stunning admissions in their last meeting and I show them to you!

David’s Christmas Message: The Man and the Birds

Stories are meant to be retold--especially ones concerning Christmas.  This is one that is all but forgotten but will lead you to find the original.

Christmas Special -It‘s Not Your Birthday

The first Christmas Special on Cowboy State Politics.  Even this year we are seeing secular attacks on Christmas from the most bizarre but predictable places.  And who would have thought, there were some political happenings at the first Christmas!  I hope that you and your family have a fantastic Christmas!!

Morning Reload - Warp and Warped Editorials

Scientists have been able to create a warp bubble.  Totally not joking.  And the Red Star has published a completely warped editorial in their Sunday paper.  Totally not shocked.

Weekend Update - Wyofile: A Pile of Propaganda

This week Wyofile published a hit piece on Dr. Taylor Haynes, Chairman Frank Eathorne, Boone Tidwell and Ken Pendergraft about their one-time membership in Oath Keepers.  It's propaganda.  In this episode we discuss, with the people mentioned in piece, how it's the furthest thing from the truth.  Also, Nancy Case is at it again in a hilarious new way.  This is a great episode, enjoy!

Bonus - An Evening With Rep Barry Crago

Thursday, the Patriot Conservatives of Johnson County hosted Wyoming House District 40 Rep Barry Crago.  He covered lots of topics and fielded numerous questions from the audience.  Among other things, he discussed mandates, guns, taxes and what he is going to focus on in the upcoming budget session.

Scrooge Like Behavior, Or Is It?

I think Scrooge gets a bad rap when you compare him to the actions of the Wyoming State Legislature.  He certainly doesn't waste money like they do.  In this episode, I give you the real story of Scrooge and explain why Wyoming politicians could take some lessons from him.

Morning Reload - The Governor‘s Jig Is Up

Colorado Governor Jared Polis has admitted that there is no state of emergency in his state.  Governor Mark Gordon should do the same.

Weekend Update - LCSD1‘s Hearing Problem

Parents are being ignored across the state when it comes to materials their children are subjected to.  Parents in Laramie County are being told by their school board that they don't have any input on what kids are exposed to.  I spoke with Cheyenne Attorney Darin Smith about it.

Their Real 15 Cent Fuel Tax Motive

The Transportation Committee just passed a 15 Cent tax increase on a gallon of gas.  When Wyoming Citizens are already paying more for everything, our elected officials want more of our money.  In this episode, I explain why; and it's not because our road system is going to crumble tomorrow. 

Morning Reload - Journalistic Incivility

This time the Red Star chose to talk about civility in politics on their front page.  Even when the story is "above-the-fold" they can't get the facts straight.  It's either that or they choose not to.

Bonus -2021 Liberty Summit

A Bonus presentation of the 2021 Liberty Summit held December 4 in Casper Wyoming.  In attendance were various patriot groups from across the state.  Reps Chuck Gray, Mark Jennings and Chip Neiman were also featured speakers.  Enjoy!

Weekend Update - Hills Worth Dying On

That's right, it has been ONE YEAR OF COWBOY STATE POLITICS!! In this episode I discuss how and why the Redcoats killed our runoff bill in the Corporations Committee.  There's also an excerpt from my speech to the Park County GOP Central Committee.  As conservatives we all have to identify the 3 or 4 hills worth dying for and fight for them.

Infantile Inflation Insanity

Inflation is hitting Wyoming families harder than it has in the last 30 years.  In this episode, I explain what inflation actually is and why everything we are doing is making it worse.  But, there are things you can do to protect yourself from it.

Morning Reload - Runoffs and Redcoats

The Corporations Committee is going to be taking up the absolutely essential runoff election bill on Thursday.  Rep Chip Neiman explains what the bill is and why it is so important.

Weekend Update - Dopey Congressmen and Newspapers

Politicians who try to manage pandemics are just as bad or worse than those who try to manage wars.  In this episode, we expose the charlatans in Cheyenne with audio from Dr. Robert Malone-the guy who invented the mRNA technology.  Also, my thoughts on the recent barrage of anti-Second Amendment drivel from the Red Star.

Thanksgiving Special - Pilgrims, Prevarications and the Truth

The first Thanksgiving Eve Special on Cowboy State Politics.  Hardly anyone knows the real story of Thanksgiving Day.  After this episode you will!  From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

Morning Reload - Frontier Fantasies and Dumb Op-Eds

Once again the Wyoming media has been pandering to the Redcoated Frontier Republicans.  Running to the national media wasn't enough for them. Now, they have written a ridiculous Op-Ed that, of course, our compliant media just had to print.

Weekend Update - Surprise, Leftists on the School Board

There are leftists that have infiltrated Wyoming school boards.  One such radical on the Albany County board has some very interesting ties.  Also, a visit with the Park County Republican Men's Club.

Parliamentary Procedure Perfection

Part 2 of the recap of the Wyoming GOP State Central Committee Meeting in Buffalo.  One resolution finally put the Troy Bray incident to bed in EPIC FASHION. And, the Wyoming GOP no longer recognizes Rep Liz Cheney as our Republican representative.  I also point out a staggering discrepancy that the entire mainstream media fell for--including Fox.

Sunday Special - We‘re Fed Up

The Wyoming GOP Held their State Central Committee meeting in Buffalo over the weekend.  It was a great event and their were some fireworks.  In this episode is a speech from U.S. House Candidate Harriet Hageman and State Vice-Chairman David Holland.  Also I have the perfect solution to all of this incivility the Redcoats keep crowing about...

Jackalopes and Jack...errr..Redcoats

I was invited to speak at the Converse County GOP Banquet.  I spoke about how we got to where we are at and how we can get out of it.  Here's my speech in its entirety.

Morning Reload - Fiscal Conservative Democrats?

Say it isn't so, Democrats who are fiscal conservatives?  Don't worry they're not and neither are the Redcoats.  It's all political cover.

Weekend Update - Do Redcoats Like Businesses?

The only thing we heard from the Redcoats and Democrats in the special session was business, business, business.  If it seems a little out of character, you're right.  They are just using Wyoming business to cover for themselves and Sleepy Joe's mandate.

Shiny Objects in the Legislature

We've heard a lot about the supremacy clause this past week.  I tell you what it is and what our legislators have wrong about it.

Morning Reload - The Wyoming Lobbyist Party

Many of our state legislators seem to have joined a different, older party.  The lobbyists. 

Weekend Update - Barlow‘s Being Biased

Representative Steve Harshman said some absolutely inexcusable things about Rep Chuck Gray.  Speaker of the House Eric Barlow claims he is being even-handed about the matter.  He's not--not anywhere close to fair.

News Update - 54 Republicans

There are 54 Republicans in the Wyoming House of Representatives.  But, only 18 or so even act like it.  The rest of them are Redcoats and this session has proven it.

An Interview with Harriet Hageman

My discussion with candidate for the United States House of Representatives, Harriet Hageman.  Also, some brief comments on day one of the special session.

Morning Reload - They‘re In Bed With Lobbyists

All but one of the Wyoming legislators that voted against the special session have one thing in common: they are in bed with lobbyists.  And it shouldn't come as any surprise what type of lobbyists they have been taking money from!

Weekend Update - Burning Books on Bar Stools and a Conversation With Scott Clem

Inexplicably, columnist Rod Miller is defending pornography and pedophilia materials in Wyoming Libraries.  Also, I visit with former Wyoming Representative Scott Clem about the actions of the Campbell County Commissioners, the Gillette library and the upcoming special session.

Time Travel and Rep John Bear on the Special Session

Doc Brown is that you?  The paper in Gillette published an article about a Campbell County Commission vote that hadn't happened yet.  Members of the public were justifiably incensed.  Also, Rep John Bear explains what (hopefully) is going to happen with the special session that has been called.

Morning Reload - Political Apologia and an Interview with James Barth

Politicians are always "apologizing" for something.  Really though, they almost always use a deceptive device to make you think that's what they are doing.  It's a time honored tradition that Bill Novotny used in his statement.  Also I visit with Laramie County Sheriff candidate James Barth.

Weekend Update - Novotny‘s Sentence and the Special Session

Bill Novotny finally got sentenced for his DUI but he got off pretty easy--he didn't even appear before the judge.  The legislative special session has been called by state legislators to thwart Sleepy Joe's vaccine mandates.  Also, I discuss a proposal by the Johnson County Cemetery District to waste tax-payer dollars.

Taxpayer Funded Pornography - An Interview with Del Shelstad

Del Shelstad is the outspoken Campbell County Commissioner who has said he would cut funding to his library over pornography and pedophilia materials.  I spoke with him about his role as a commissioner and what needs to be done with libraries that provide illicit materials to children.

Wyoming‘s Grace Part 2, The Interview

An interview with Grace Smith, the Laramie, Wyoming high school student who was arrested for not wearing a mask.  In our discussion she explains why she refused to comply and where our rights actually come from.  She is a very impressive young lady!

Weekend Update - Shut Up and Dance With Me!

On Friday, two groups and a number of parents in Sheridan County held a Homecoming dance for Sheridan high school Students after the Sheridan and Ranchester schools cancelled their dances.  I spoke with FreeWyoming23 and Free our Faces about their event.  Also on Friday, I was on Wake up Wyoming with Glenn Woods to talk about the arrest of Grace Smith in Laramie for not wearing a mask in school.

Wyoming Needs More Grace Part 1

Laramie high school student Grace Smith was arrested Thursday morning for not wearing a mask.  In this bonus episode, I have an in-depth discussion with her father Andy Smith.

Pedophilia Materials in Wyoming Libraries

Wyoming libraries have materials on their shelves that openly glorify pedophilia.  Though the Wyoming media has been focusing on the library controversy in Gillette, they haven't pointed out the worst of it and they seem to have missed that this is statewide.  But that's only half of the story.  In this episode I expose it all.

Morning Reload - Hageman: Mea Culpa, Sort Of

There have been several articles recently about Harriet Hageman supporting Liz Cheney in 2016.  How did she defend that?  Her response really shouldn't surprise you.
