It's not surprising that a high school would be sent into lockdown over a student not wearing a mask. We've seen it happen before. But we've seen it happen in the socialist paradise of California. Wyoming is supposed to be a red state that is pro-freedom and unlike Joe Biden and the people who control Joe Biden, believes in science. School mask mandates aren't science. They're barely even "the" science. Yet Laramie High School in Wyoming was shut down because Grace Smith, a junior, didn't mask up.

A 16-year-old Wyoming high school student was arrested for refusing to wear a mask, resulting in an hour-long school lockdown. Grace Smith, a Laramie High School student, said in an interview with Wyoming Sen. Anthony Bouchard about her arrest that she had received three separate two-day suspensions. She was also allegedly fined $1,000 for trespassing after she refused to leave the school's premises. "It makes me angry," Smith said. "It makes me feel unwanted by the school system. It makes me stressed out that I have to fight this battle as a 16-year-old. Right now, I should be playing sports...

A man from Laramie, Wyoming was out in the wilderness archery hunting when he stumbled across an old GoPro. After taking it back to his camp and charging it, he found several minutes of footage that appeared to be captured by a bear. Dylan Schilt was out in the wilderness when he stumbled across the camera that he says had likely been there for several months. He described the situation on his Facebook. “Last week when I was up archery hunting, I stumbled across a GoPro that was lost while snowmobiling. When I got back to camp I charged it...

The Wyoming U.S. Attorney's Office has charged a Laramie man with vandalizing and burning the Albany County Republican Party headquarters last month, according to the statement supporting a criminal complaint filed in federal court on Tuesday. Kellen Michael Sorber is charged with one count of using fire to commit a felony, which is punishable by at least five years to 20 years imprisonment, according to the complaint written by an agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The agent's statement did not say if Sorber had been taken into custody, but the Wyoming U.S. Attorney's Office...

In 2009, Barack Obama honored dead gay man Matthew Shepard by putting his name on some silly-ass federal hate crimes act. Now Shepard’s gay corpse will join other luminaries as Woodrow Wilson and Helen Keller by being interred at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. Ever since Shepard’s 1998 murder in Laramie, WY, his legacy has become sanctified to a nigh untouchable level. We are led to believe that two homophobic Wyoming rednecks met Shepard at a bar, then lured him to the outskirts of town, where they cracked his skull by pistol-whipping him and then tied him to a...

The metaphor "the War on Christmas" can be mocked -- as if Santa and his reindeer are dodging anti-aircraft fire. But many of our public schools have church-and-state sensitivity police with an alarming degree of Santaphobia. Anyone who's attended a school's "winter concert" in December with no traditional Christmas music -- not even "Frosty the Snowman" -- knows the drill. The vast Christian majority (that funds the public schools) is told that school is no place to celebrate one's religion, even in its most watered-down and secularized forms. There are real-life stories of Scrooge-like school administrators, like the one at...

"Our message and passion is Christ. Our delivery is visual, direct and in your face," reads the company's...

STANWOOD, Wash. - A teenager accused of planning to supply a Somalian terrorist group with night vision goggles and bulletproof vests foreshadowed the charges in his high school yearbook with a note that mentions Somalia in his "plans for world supremacy." Mark Robert Walker, 19, was arrested Nov. 6 in El Paso, Texas, and on Friday was charged with attempting or conspiring to contribute goods or services to a global terrorist organization. A more serious charge filed earlier was dropped. Months earlier, Walker caused a stir when he left a cryptic note next to his senior portrait in the 2004...

Expect terror attack - Cohen Former defense secretary speaks at UW forum By Becky Orr rep6@wyomingnews.com Published in the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle LARAMIE - Americans should expect more terrorist attacks on United States soil, a former secretary of defense says. William S. Cohen said Thursday that future attacks are inevitable given the country's size, its uncontrolled borders and other factors. "We may foil most of them," Cohen said. "(But) we have to be successful 100 percent of the time." Those plotting against America have to be successful only once, he added. "The question becomes, 'What do we do?'" Cohen is a...

Henderson wants his rights back If the man convicted of murdering Matthew Shepard is granted post-conviction relief, he could ask for a sentence reduction. By Juliette Rule rep9@wyomingnews.com Published in the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle LARAMIE - Russell Henderson's rights were violated when the state public defender's office failed to discuss the pros and cons of appeal with him, an attorney writes in a motion for post-conviction relief filed Friday. Henderson pleaded guilty April 5, 1999, to the kidnapping and murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard. Now Henderson wants to go back to that day and reclaim those limited...

Laramie Democrat running for House John Hanks said he thinks Bush is a suspect behind the Sept. 11 attacks. By Jessica Lowell rep5@wyomingnews.com Published in the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle CHEYENNE - For John Hanks, his bid to run for Congress is David v. Goliath. He's David, and he's pretty sure Goliath is going to win. "Sometimes," he said, "you have to do the impractical." Hanks, a Laramie Democrat, identifies himself as both a thought criminal and a conspiracy theorist. "The main reason I am running is that I want the Democrats to take a stand on 9-11 and look for an...
