...few have described wokeism as the cruel creed that it is.Wokeism’s natural logic is to destroy the lives of people of both genders, of all races, and—if need be—those of every age, all to leverage an otherwise unworkable ideological agenda. It is nihilist and destroys everything it touches. It tears apart foes and friends alike, whether by fueling media-driven hatred of Donald Trump or faux-deification of the disaster that is now Joe Biden.

Ranchers say they will 'shoot on sight' if endangered wolves from Colorado cross state lines into Wyoming. Last week Colorado Parks and Wildlife released five gray wolves onto public land in Grand County as a part of the state's voter-mandated reintroduction plan. The predators consisted of two juvenile females, two males and one adult male and are classed as endangered - but the animals lose their 'protected' status as soon as they end up in the state of Wyoming where they are classed as predators. There is every likelihood the wolves may end up in Wyoming given that the canines...

Donald Trump and former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney have been engaged in a war of words over her new memoir, in which she criticizes the former president and other Republicans. Among Cheney's claims is that then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Trump became depressed and stopped eating after he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, which Trump has denied. Trump has since hit back in a series of messages including one that said she lost her Congressional seat by the largest margin in history. A post by Donald Trump on Truth Social on Wednesday, December 6, stated that Liz...

Liz Cheney is bitter. Terribly bitter. She lost her seat in Congress, lost support of her party and now has lost her mind. What does someone like that do? They write a book. In her rounds on left wing networks, Cheney has jumped onto the "Trump is a threat to the democracy" bandwagon. In this web exclusive, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney talks with CBS News' @jdickerson about fellow Republicans who once objected to Donald Trump but who now "embrace him," and says that is the path towards the destruction of democracy in the United States. You can see it for...

Anti-ESG hysteria driven by online hate platforms has disproportionally eroded portfolios of color and sabotaged our planet's future. Call it what it is: terrorism. The anti-wokes are celebrating yet another dubious victory as new data shows that global investments in ethical companies have nosedived by nearly $5 trillion over the past two years. The Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (GSIA) on Wednesday reported that the total value of sustainable assets has shrunk from $35.3 trillion in 2020 to a mere $30.3 trillion in 2022. S&P Global Clean Energy Index reports a 30% fall so far in 2023. The United States alone...

The truth is starting to work its way to the surface and it does not bode well for Liz Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, and the fake news media. Recent footage released by InvestigateJ6 reveals police officers started firing on an unsuspecting crowd without warning. The Trump supporters had no idea they were going to be fired on by heavily armed police. The Trump supporters also had no idea that federal officers, and undercover police had invaded the pro-Trump crowd that had worked its way to the US Capitol. This video below by Investigate J6 is devastating. It shows police firing on...

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) released all the 44,000 hours of Jan. 6 footage. Immediately, the release blew apart the Jan. 6 Committee's narrative about the event. . The video release showed why they were likely suppressed. They included police escorting peaceful protesters walking through the Capitol, even shaking their hands. There was even a video showing one "protester" who appeared to have been cuffed, then taken to an area by the Capitol Police, where he was released and fist-bumped one of the officers. ... That raised many questions about whether the man released was an undercover officer, which then...

Two alumni members have been removed after speaking out against the inclusion of men in the women's group. When Artemis Langford, who stands at 6'2" and weighs in at 260 pounds, declared he was a woman and joined a sorority at the University of Wyoming, he was backed by the national policies of Kappa Kappa Gamma, which had a self-ID policy in place for males to join the women's group after saying they are female. Now, two alumni members have been removed after speaking out against the inclusion of men in the women's group. Since Langford's admittance, sisters in the...

A 71-year-old investor who bought an old Wyoming coal mine sight-unseen for $2million has learned that it may contain $37 billion worth of 'rare earth' minerals. Randall Atkins, the CEO of Ramaco Rescources, bought the Brook Mine in Sheridan 12 years ago - but it wasn't until years later that researchers checked if the ground contained elements that are used for semiconductors, missiles and solar cells. He was shocked to find out that his mine may contain the largest rare-earth deposit in the United States - and the materials may be worth 18,500 times what he paid for the land....

A Laramie preacher has won a federal lawsuit against the University of Wyoming (UW). He had sued the university for infringing on his constitutionally protected free speech rights. Last December, Laramie Faith Community Church Elder Todd Schmidt displayed an anti-trans banner in the UW student union, identifying an individual transgender student by name. The university banned him from tabling for one year, alleging that he was harassing the student. Schmidt sued UW on First Amendment grounds. He won a preliminary injunction that has already let him return to the student union. Last week, both parties agreed to a judge's order,...

In a not-so-surprising twist in the presiding judge’s life of the ongoing sham Trump trial in New York City, unhinged Judge Arthur Engoron has taken to an unconventional pastime—posting half-naked photos of himself on an alumni newsletter he oversees. Research group Marco Polo first reported this revelation.

Uranium enrichment and the nuclear fuel industry make up a globally integrated complex concentrated in the hands of a few key players. A geopolitically-driven divorce is on the horizon, however. At the outset of the invasion of Ukraine last year, US Senator John Barrasso, a Republican of Wyoming, led an effort to ban Russian-origin uranium and nuclear products following the West’s break with the fossil fuel industries that had been filling the Kremlin’s war chest. The bill stalled, but it highlighted America’s reliance on Russian nuclear imports and the need for a comprehensive supply chain rework. When countries are already...

Republican Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon is facing criticism for his recent comments pledging to reduce his state's carbon emissions and saying there was urgency to addressing the "warming climate." Gordon made the comments during a talk at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics in Massachusetts Monday, promoting the "Decarbonizing the West" initiative he established in his role as chairman of the Western Governors’ Association. In 2018, Gordon ran for governor on an all-of-the-above-energy platform and has since promoted green energy development. "It is clear that we have a warming climate," Gordon remarked Monday, according to The Harvard Crimson. "It...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said Sunday that she is not ruling out a White House bid and vowed to help elect leaders who will fight against future challenges to election results as seen in the 2020 election. Cheney initially dodged a question about her 2024 plans, telling CNN “State of the Union” anchor Jake Tapper: “I will tell you what I’m definitely going to do — I’m going to spend the next year, between now and the election, certainly helping to elect serious people, helping to elect sane people to Congress.”

Liz Cheney has slammed ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for 'elevating white supremacists and anti-Semites' as part of his leadership. Cheney was defeated in a primary in 2022 by Harriet Hageman in a race that was heavily influenced by her criticism of Donald Trump. The daughter of ex-Vice President Dick Cheney said McCarthy has muddled the party by following Trump's lead. 'I wish that it were surprising,' she told CNN. 'You know, what we've seen is a result of really the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6.' 'And, you know,...
