Wyoming Is Ground Zero For RINOs’ War
Against Conservatives
Posted By: FlyRight, 3/17/2026 9:29:37 PM
Wyoming bears all the hallmarks of a “red state.” Its executive offices and legislature are dominated by Republicans, and Donald Trump won it by more than 40 points in the last three presidential elections. But like many “red states” in America today, Wyoming’s Republican rule is in many ways a mirage. So-called “Republican” elected officials have often gone out of their way to stifle and kill conservative priorities. The state’s recently concluded budget session perfectly illustrates this problem. Despite Republicans possessing supermajorities in the state House (56-6) and Senate (29-2), the House rejected six bills containing provisions —

Sen. Dick Durbin's replacement has become the focus in the Illinois Democratic primary elections on Tuesday as 11 candidates run in an effort to win his seat.
Durbin, 81, and two other longtime members of the state's congressional delegation are retiring this term, Reuters reported.
Illinois, a heavily Democratic state, is not expected to be competitive for Republicans in November's midterm elections.
Some of the top candidates in the Democratic Senate primary to replace Durbin include Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi and Robin Kelly, and Illinois Lieutenant Gov. Juliana Stratton.
President Trump has never been afraid to say what career politicians won’t: America has been getting ripped off by foreign freeloaders for decades, especially when it comes to prescription drugs. While U.S. patients and taxpayers foot the bill for the world’s most advanced medicines, wealthy nations have been freeloading off our innovation.
Last year, Trump took a major step toward fixing that imbalance by forcing the United Kingdom to come to the table and pay more for breakthrough treatments. Past presidents could only dream of a win that big. Now, it’s time to do the same with Japan.
This is the second in a series of articles written by former Sen. Jim DeMint. Read the introduction and the first article of the series here and here.
Societies are social constructs where people live together in community. Politics is the process of deciding how people live together. The larger and more diverse a population becomes, the more difficult the politics. In America, where shared values and assimilation have become anathema to Democrats and Democrat-aligned institutions, our diversity has exploded into disharmony and division.
How can federal policies restore national unity and love for country?
As the war surrounding Iran enters its 18th day, the country stands at a moment of historic uncertainty. Missiles and drones have struck military installations and strategic infrastructure across the country, while the regime’s leadership struggles to project an image of authority. Yet the most important battle may not be unfolding in the skies above Iran or in the waters of the Persian Gulf. It is taking place on the ground, inside the country itself. Even as explosions reverberate across the region, Resistance Units linked to the Iranian opposition movement, the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK), have intensified their campaign against the theocratic regime.
The concept of freedom of the press isn't ruined by criticism of the press. But when liberal TV hosts roll out their lectures, they sound a little like the president they routinely attack. Any criticism of their work must be Fake News. MS NOW host Ana Cabrera expressed indignation on March 16 after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr tweeted that broadcast stations should watch what they're airing on the war in Iran: "Freedom of the press has been such a huge, huge underpinning of the democracy in this country, right? In order to hold people in power accountable to be that government watchdog."

In Milton Friedman’s classic book, Free to Choose, he describes the vision that accounts for America’s political and economic success: The true essence of freedom is when individuals can make their own choices about the things they value. And people have very different opinions about valuation. Free societies must respect the fact that people have very different views about what they want. By contrast, the notion that everyone should have the same things is a core principle of socialism.
Liberty flourishes when millions of people are free to choose between hundreds of products and services offered by many competitors.

in the Middle East, as Macron prepares
for postwar talks 22 replies
France’s government is bolstering the country’s military presence in the Middle East, dispatching its aircraft carrier and other warships, while President Emmanuel Macron engages with key players in the conflict, including Iran, in a bid to position Paris for future diplomatic talks.
Macron said that France’s military involvement is strictly “defensive” and aims to avoid making the country a party to the war.
He reaffirmed that position after one French soldier was killed Thursday in a drone attack in Iraq.
“We are not at war with anyone,” Macron said.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss billions of dollars in energy deals that were secured.
Secretary Burgum attended the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum in Tokyo this weekend.
“Joining me now from in this Sunday Morning Futures exclusive, live from Japan for talks about energy security with Indo-Pacific allies is the US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who has just locked up some 57 billion dollars in some 20 new deals with Asian partners around energy security,” Bartiromo said.
“Let me ask you about the Strait of Hormuz.
Ric Grenell Serves Up a Savage Schooling

to Sheldon Whitehouse About Trump Kennedy Center 14 replies
President Donald Trump anounced that Ric Grenell was moving on from heading up the Kennedy Center.
Trump praised the work he had done to improve the Center. Grenell explained that things were a mess when he came in. That's one of the reasons it's now been closed for renovations. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) tried to attack Grenell. But the response from Grenell was savage. I think Sheldon is not used to being so completely upended. He's likely to remember this one. Now that's a satisfying drubbing of the execrable Whitehouse, who certainly deserved it.
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a trend, and four times is CNN.
CNN staffers have spent the past few weeks worrying about a potential merger that could hand editorial control of the network to CBS editor in chief Bari Weiss. They have good reason to be scared — especially after several CNN employees this past week bungled the basic facts of the recent ISIS-inspired bombing attempt in New York City, leading staffer after staffer to issue the same shamefaced, totally avoidable correction. (These high-profile embarrassments, by the way,
The Trump administration will receive about a $10 billion transaction fee from investors involved in the recently sealed deal to take control of TikTok’s U.S. operations, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Friday.
The payment stems from an agreement in which a group of investors with connections to the administration took control of TikTok’s U.S. operations from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, according to sources cited in the report.
The fee will be made separate from the capital investments related to establishing a new U.S.-based entity to operate the TikTok app domestically.

Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has announced his resignation. Director Kent outlines his decision as driven by opposition to the war against Iran.
Kent, a senior deputy to Director of National intelligence Tulsi Gabbard posted his resignation letter on the X platform, writing: “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran.” … “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” (image)This is quite a remarkable development.

U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts said on Tuesday that hostility directed in personal terms at judges is "dangerous and it's got to stop," commenting just days after President Donald Trump's latest social media broadside against judges who have ruled against him and his administration. Roberts did not mention the Republican president by name in his remarks at an event at Rice University in Houston. But Roberts, who has led the U.S. Supreme Court for more than two decades, said that while criticism of judicial decisions is welcome and often healthy, attacks of a personal nature against judges cross a line.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett insisted she “followed all protocols” in hiring a fugitive security guard who had a criminal history and was under federal investigation when he was fatally shot in a standoff with Dallas SWAT.
Crockett (D-Texas) confirmed in a statement on Monday that her security guard, Diamon-Mazairre Robinson, whom she knew under the alias of Mike King, was shot by police in Dallas on Wednesday night — blaming “loopholes” in the system for his ability to circumvent the vetting process. [snip]

After They Turn Down Trump Request for
Ships for Strait 19 replies
As we reported, President Donald Trump called out European countries that rejected his request for ships to help out in a coalition to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. It was a much-deserved mic drop scolding. How many times have we saved Europe's bacon? How many decades have we provided them protection from Russia, only to have them not pay their fair share until Trump forced them to do it? Yet they can't even be bothered to provide us help now, to protect their own interests. Here's Germany's Boris Pistorious saying they didn't start the war. So much for such an "ally."
Despite CNN being forced to walk back their fake news over the weekend where they suggested the U.S. military and the Trump administration didn’t have a plan to protect the Strait of Hormuz, ABC News program The View still pushed it during their Monday episode. The news show then went on to encourage people to vote for Democrats in the November midterms. Chronically aggrieved co-host Sunny Hostin pushed the false claim there was no plan for dealing with Iran’s efforts to close the Strait, then suggested the national average price of gas was $8-per-gallon because of it:

It wasn’t long ago that millions and millions of American kids heard their parents’ best advice: “The only way to get ahead is with a college education.” And millions took their advice. Today’s parents and the kids themselves are skeptical college is worth the cost, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The national online poll, taken Feb. 24 to Feb. 27, asked 1,456 adults: “Do you believe a four-year college degree is worth the cost for most Americans today, or not?”
The answer indicates serious erosion in how Americans view the value of higher education. Overall, of those responding, 59% selected “Not worth the cost,” while just

'troubling' sexual allegations against
civil rights leader 17 replies
Celebrations for what would have been civil rights activist Cesar Chavez's 99th birthday are being canceled ahead of what's being described as "deeply troubling allegations" against the historic figure.
Across the country, several local organizations began canceling their upcoming celebrations in anticipation of an upcoming story that is expected to share concerning reports about the former labor union advocate.
As cancellations grew, the United Farm Workers (UFW), an organization co-founded by Chavez, released a statement on Tuesday confirming allegations were being made, including ones involving abuse of young women or minors. In response, the UFW announced it would no longer take part in any Cesar Chavez Day activities.
The Senate on Tuesday afternoon voted to kick off what could be a dayslong debate over the SAVE America Act, the controversial voter-ID bill backed by President Donald Trump.
“We’re not going to let it pass. We’re going to fight it tooth and nail,” Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., said on Tuesday morning ahead of the vote. “We’re prepared to stay here all day and all night, or multiple days and multiple nights and even multiple weeks , if necessary, to make sure the SAVE Act suffers the death that it deserves.”
The legislation, which advanced out of the House in February, would require proof of citizenship to register and photo ID
Victor Davis Hanson weighs in on how the war with Iran is going after two weeks for "The Daily Signal."
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: We’re just completing the second week of the so-called Iran war — this effort of the United States to bomb the theocracy into submission so they will cancel their missile and nuclear programs and to champion the popular protests on the streets that have some potential to get rid of the regime itself.
But it’s a very surreal war. I haven’t seen — I don’t think any of us have seen — anything like it. It’s only been two weeks and we’re told that it’s dragging on

increase in Walz's Minneapolis: 'Deterrence problem' 15 replies
The city of Minneapolis has seen a dramatic increase in auto thefts so far in 2026, causing rising pressure on Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey to address the situation. The worrying trend was highlighted by Crime Watch Minneapolis, a volunteer-operated news organization, which shared a graphic on X showing how widespread the problem has become throughout the city. More than 1,000 auto thefts were reported in January and February of this year in Minneapolis, a city of approximately 430,000 people. This represents an increase of nearly 35% compared to the same period last year, according to Crime Watch
The Israeli defense minister said Tuesday that the Israeli military killed top Iranian security official Ari Larijani in an overnight strike. Israeli military also announced it killed Gen.

Cuba has extended an invitation to Cuban Americans and other exiles living abroad to invest in and own businesses on the island, saying the “doors are open” to a community that has traditionally agitated for harsh economic sanctions against the Communist government.
Cuba also said on Monday that it was removing impediments to US businesses and other foreign investors, but noted that United States law still prevented trade and investment under the long-running economic embargo aimed at punishing the government in Havana. “There are no limitations,” Cuban Deputy Prime Minister Oscar Perez-Oliva Fraga, who also heads the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment, told state television in an interview.
