If you watched Donald Trump's cabinet meeting on Wednesday, you may have seen Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins hold up a photo of the Maude family of South Dakota. I'd heard a little bit about the fifth-generation ranching family before that, but I decided to learn more because I couldn't believe the story Rollins told about how the Joe Biden administration treated them. It's unbelievable. Or maybe it's not, given all we're learning about the last four years. ... Trump Admin is reversing Biden-era failures in 100 days! The U.S. Gov has dropped charges against the Maude family, victims of...

A poster on the FBI Reddit thread warned FBI leakers on evading DOGE and his team (see post below). It’s unclear if the poster is connected to the FBI or just trying to be helpful to any agent stupid enough to leak this carelessly. The Reddit poster also shared information on this link. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/remove-hidden-data-and-personal-information-by-inspecting-documents-presentations-or-workbooks-356b7b5d-77af-44fe-a07f-9aa4d085966f In other news, there are rumors online that the FBI plans a protest today and will walk off the job. The posts are drawing mockery after the way the FBI handled Antifa and Black Lives Matter compared with their handling of J6 protesters. People aren’t mentioning...

FBI Director Christopher Wray has a curious set of priorities. He bailed out of a Senate hearing in August to use a private jet to take him to a very important personal vacation in the Adirondacks. Wray doesn't like answering questions- especially the critical ones. And so it was once again last Tuesday that Wray refused to answer rather important questions. FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to answer multiple questions Tuesday from a Republican congressman concerning whether FBI sources were embedded among Jan. 6 protesters during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Worldwide Threats to the Homeland. Republican Louisiana...

It’s November 2023, and, following the October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists that killed some 1,400 Israelis and at least 31 Americans, thousands of demonstrators march through New York City, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. Chants of “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” echo through the streets, along with “there is only one solution: intifada revolution.” Among the crowd is the infamous Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour, who warns through a megaphone that a cabal of wily Jews has conspired to place “their little posters” (of kidnapped Israeli civilians) across the city, seeking...

The Biden administration has continued the modern Democrat tradition of perverse federal land use policy. It comes as a surprise to most Americans that the federal government owns nearly one-third of the nation’s land mass, in excess of 640 million acres. (It also owns 1.7 billion acres of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), but that is another story.) Most know of the National Park Service in the Department of the Interior and its 80 million acres of parks, preserves, reserves, monuments, memorials, historic sites, battlefields, and recreation areas, in every state. Many Americans may be familiar with the 141 national...

(Coeur d’Alene, Idaho) — Bombshell new documents have recently come to light revealing how the U.S. Government illegally spied on and entrapped citizens during the 2014 “Bundy Ranch Standoff,” and beyond. The document, which was authored by Larry Wooten, a former Special Agent with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), reveals the terrifying extent to which the Federal Government is willing to go to ensnare patriotic Americans who stand up to government overreach. Wooten first made waves in 2017, after sending an 18 page whistleblower document (available in full here) to Washington State Representative Matt Shea chronicling “a widespread pattern...

The brutal killings of four University of Idaho students have captured the attention of the nation as suspect Bryan Kohberger awaits his trial. But two survivors of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy warn his murders bear an eerie resemblance to the FSU sorority house killings. “There have been a lot of mass murderers, but [Kohberger] seemed to almost pick a murder that mirrored one of Bundy’s murders. Is that a coincidence? I don’t know,” survivor Karen Pryor said on Fox Nation’s “Parallels of Evil: The Bundy and Idaho Killings.”

On March 25,2020 Goveror Brad Little issued a state-wide stay-at-home order, requesting Idaho Sheriffs, City Police Chiefs and Idaho State Police to enforce his lockdown order. Many Idahoans were arrested, jailed and suffered through state prosecution. People like Sara Brady are still being prosecuted by the state of Idaho today. What was her crimes? Taking her children to the park. Christians were arrested for holding church service outside. Hundreds of concerned Idahoans were cited or arrested for attending public meetings without masks. Robert Jones is still in jail today, wrongfully sentenced to 6 months for peacefully demonstrating on a public...

"The vast majority seemed to hang on to what seemed like hate, and fear, and almost warmongering, and I don't want to associate myself with warmongers."For more than six years Ammon Bundy and his family amassed hundreds of followers and supporters willing to pick up a gun at a moment's notice and rally to their side for a confrontation with the federal government.Bundy led two armed standoffs against the feds in Nevada and Oregon, and his family quickly became the face of a growing militia movement, bringing a national spotlight to armed groups eager for a conflict with what they...

Ammon Bundy Speaks In A Newspaper Interview 10/5/2022 As He Campaigns To Be The Next Governor Of Idaho As An Independent There have been so many characterizations of Ammon Bundy in the last six plus years one tends to lose track of them.

<p>An Idaho man who served more than four years in federal custody for his part in an armed 2014 standoff against federal agents near states’ rights figure Cliven Bundy’s Nevada ranch is suing the U.S. government and prosecutors for damages.</p>

Ammon Bundy, a leader of the 2016 armed occupation at a federal refuge, has announced his candidacy for governor of Idaho. Bundy, in a video posted on Saturday, said he is running for governor because he is “sick and tired of all of this political garbage just like you are.” “I’m tired of our freedoms being taken from us, and I’m tired of the corruption that is rampant in our state government,” he added.

BOISE, Idaho — Ammon Bundy has once again been arrested, along with two other men, following a Monday morning confrontation outside the Ada County Courthouse. Bundy and another man, Aaron Schmidt, were arrested Monday morning outside of the courthouse after failing to appear for their jury trials, according to a news release from the Ada County Sheriff’s Office. Both men refused to wear masks, which are required to enter the courthouse by order of the Idaho Supreme Court....

When one talks about the Bundy Family, the first thing that springs to mind is the standoff in Nevada in 2014. However, perhaps even more important is the standoff and occupation at Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. Indeed, the two events are often conflated because Ammon Bundy is the son of Cliven Bundy, the man who stood up to the federal government over “grazing fees” on Bureau of Land Management land. The occupation was a highlight for both the militia and the sovereign citizen movement as well as proponents of states’ rights. The main argument from those occupying...

Boise Idaho--Boise Police and Boise Mayor Lauren McLean requested the Central District Health meeting be postponed due to protests outside CDH and board member's homes. Due to large crowds outside of CDH offices and at least three board member's homes, CDH Director Russ Duke and Mayor McLean and Boise Police requested the meeting end over safety concerns...

Summary The panel affirmed the district court’s judgment dismissing with prejudice, due to violations of Brady v. Maryland, an indictment charging Cliven Bundy; two of his sons, Ryan and Ammon Bundy; and Ryan Payne with obstructing federal law enforcement officials carrying out lawful court orders. The indictment followed a well-publicized effort by the Bureau of Land Management to impound Cliven Bundy’s cattle for a twenty-year failure to pay federal grazing fees. Cliven Bundy and hundreds of armed supporters from around the United States forced federal officials to abandon the impoundment plan. Days into the defendants’ trial, the government began disclosing...

In 2016, a group of right-wing extremists took over a wildlife refuge in Oregon. That group believed the federal government was constitutionally required to turn over most federal public land to individual states. After a long standoff of more than a month, federal law enforcement finally moved in and arrested most of the militants. Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan — a former U.S. Attorney — was absolutely in favor of the government moving in and forcefully ending the standoff. She told NPR in 2017: DURKAN: If there was ever a conspiracy, this was it. WILSON: From 2009 to 2014, Jenny Durkan...

The Bureau of Land Management, ironically going by the acronym BLM, with help from Federal agents, shut down the Bundy range land protest and killed LaVoy Finicum. A far worse group takes over a section of Seattle and NOTHING happens? Really? This raises and insurmountable number of questions.

Interesting how so many people forget things. What about the Cliven Bundy standoff? A lot of people (mostly white) showed up to protest about the impending arrest of the Bundys and were very poorly treated. I don't remember anyone going out on the streets and rioting, do you? We left it to the courts (probably a mistake). They even ambushed and killed La Voy Finicum for no reason and we didn't even blink an eye. Now we wonder why all of this is happening and no one does anything about it? I guess no one cares about standing up for...
