Cowboy State Politics

Cowboy State Politics

Conservative politics from Wyoming and the nation. The media doesn’t report the truth and they are always playing for the left. Politicians lie and it’s my job to prove it. The only way that we set our country back to Constitutional principles is by exposing those who are trying to destroy it.

Monday, Trump issued a Presidential Proclamation changing the name of Columbus Day back to Columbus Day.  The breadth and scope of everything Biden changed in four years, is really incredible.  But why is this significant?  Why change it back?  Easy.  If the left can convince you that Columbus slaughtered a whole bunch of people, it's pretty easy to say that's how our country started.  Also, I completely forgot to celebrate the 950...

Admit it or not, in education, Wyoming has a lot in common with California.  We like to claim that we're different but when you look at policies, Wyoming does many of the same things as the left coast.  Leslie Sawyer is the California Legislative Chair for Moms for Liberty.  She has been right in the middle of some of the high profile education fights in California.  In education, we aren't becoming California, in many ways, we are...

Yesterday it was revealed that Jack Smith's investigation spied on U.S. Senators.  In talking with Rep Hageman, it turns out that it wasn't just Senators; there was at least one member of the House who was surveilled.  Rep Hageman has her own thoughts about this.  We discussed that breaking news, the government shutdown and a few other items.

A shock poll says that 2/3 of Democrats view socialism more favorably than capitalism.  My friend Ovie Muntean lived through real communism and socialism in Romania.  He's going to be in Sheridan this weekend to attend our Reagan Day dinner and to tell Wyoming young people what socialism really looks like.

Conservatives have a really hard time understanding why Democrats and their less honest counterparts in the Republican Party can lie so easily.  It doesn't really have anything to do with what they're telling you at the moment.  It's that they are trying to get you to believe ALL lies.  The government shutdown is a perfect example: several democrats will swear that this isn't about illegal immigrants.  Why, when it so obviously is?...

Weston County Clerk Becky Hadlock single-handedly messed up the 2024 election in Weston County.  She tried to cover it up; made multiple conflicting statements to the media and maintained that she didn't do anything wrong.  Since then, she's been subpoenaed by a legislative committee investigating her actions.  True to form, she blew that off.  Last November I published an extensive episode about the entire affair.  I even intervie...

Senator Lummis weighed in on the Jimmy Kimmel controversy.  While she was referring to FCC licenses, her comments about the First Amendment were in-artful at best.  Susan Stubson too full advantage by penning a piece in the Cow Pie conveniently leaving out the whole FCC part of the quotation to score political points.

Reps Karlee Provenza and Mike Yin, both Democrats, held an event in Sheridan this week.  Both of them dropped by the studio to discuss what they are doing as well as a whole bunch of other topics.  We didn't agree on much of anything, but we were able to have a civil discussion--something we seem to be lacking right now.

A Teacher in Sheridan was caught calling all of us who mourn the death of Charlie Kirk a name--a not so flattering one.  Also the school board in Natrona County is protecting a male custodian in an elementary school who dresses as a woman.  They're not too worried about the kids in the school, it's the janitor.  Rep Jaime Lien joins the program to discuss the school board meeting where this was brought up.

Peter Cozzens is the author of new book Deadwood: Gold Guns and Greed in the American West.  It's a fascinating look into a town with a lot of Wyoming connections.  Wild Bill Hickok wasn't quite the celebrity in Deadwood we all think and Calamity Jane wasn't really the person all her pictures make her out to be.  It's a fascinating history read that feels more like a novel than anything.

The Wyoming Democrats and the WY media are  working overtime to portray conservatives, and specifically Charlie Kirk, as racist.  State Sen Rothfuss said that MAGA is "racist at is core."  Their charge is based on claims that aren't true at all.  In the case of Kirk, that claim is based on things that he said about Martin Luther King--things that are true.

Gabe Saint, the President of Turning Point USA in Casper spoke at an event hosted by Liberty's Place for You.  He spoke for about an hour and covered a wide range of issues.  Coming a few days after Charlie Kirk's assassination, what he had to say was enlightening and uplifting.  Also, a special announcement that I have been dying to tell you about!!

All of us are in a battle of free speech.  The best way to counter vile and hateful speech is with more speech.  It's worth remembering when the University of Wyoming rescinded an invitation to an admitted domestic terrorist.  It's a good example of what not to do.  The question is what should all of us do instead?  Call a spade a spade.

Happy Birthday to Me!!  The Wyoming Democrats wasted no time calling Charlie Kirk a racist.  Provenza, who shouldn't be talking about violent rhetoric decided to denounce it.  And, Rothfuss showed his expertise in taking Charlie Kirk entirely out of context.  And, of course, the Cow Pie went right along with all of it.

Harriet recently visited Grand Teton National Park for an onsite committee meeting.  Not surprisingly, the federal government has problems federal permitting for projects on land that it owns.  We also discussed the Clinton era "roadless rule."  It's not a law but a rule that was adopted by the the U.S. Forest Service.  According to Harriet that is the reason for many forest fires and beetle kills in the west.  It's a great discuss...
