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 —

Our New Ungracious Immigrants

The Traditional Immigrant
Silicon Valley was energized by legal immigrants from all over the world who founded eBay, Google, Nvidia, SpaceX, Stripe, Sun Microsystems, Tesla, Yahoo, and a host of others.
The Greek American Elia Kazan’s 1963 film America, America is a fictional account based on the Herculean struggle of the director’s uncle to immigrate to the United States from an impoverished and hostile Turkish Anatolia. The film summed up Americans’ traditional view of immigrants: They had risked everything for the chance to reach America, and once there, became hyperpatriotic in their gratitude for the magnanimity of their new hosts.
An excellent example is the recently released memoir from Encounter Books, American Trojan,

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

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.
The Jihad-Adjacent Journalists

We’ve grown used to the media’s joining with the Democrats to attack every move by the President, but it is still something to watch the lies and distortions about the war in Iran where the press smears the troops in the middle of battle. Using the latest technology and working closely with the IDF and IAF, our military has achieved the most remarkable, unpredicted achievements in a matter of days. On the other hand, most major media coverage denigrates this accomplishment and regrettably advocates for our enemies.
State legislators recently pelted Greg Lucas, the leader of the California State Library, with questions about the funds during a budget hearing on education, the New York Post reported on Friday.The issue is connected to a foundation started by Parton called Imagination Library, which delivers free books to children. The program was set to be statewide in California in 2023, according to WJHL.
The outlet noted Parton created her library in 1995 to provide free books in her home county in east Tennessee.During the hearing, state Sen. Shannon Grove (R) told Lucas he did not have documentation to show where the money went.
The Republican Party is not split over the Iran war — but that doesn’t mean it can simply ignore the crank fringe bewailing and assailing President Donald Trump’s actions.
Polls show that 85% of Republicans back the attacks, and doubts are even more rare among the MAGA wing.
That should shock no one: Since the start of his second term (at least), the prez has enjoyed very high levels of support and approval within his party, and Epic Fury doesn’t change that.
Opinion could well shift if the war turns into a disaster of some kind, or a quagmire “forever war,” of course.
Oil pumping operations are expected to begin imminently off the coast of California after President Trump issued an executive order Friday to resume oil drilling operations near Santa Barbara, The Post has learned.
Officials for Sable Offshore Corp. informed local fire officials of their intent to “resume pumping operations within 24 hours.”
The notification is a standard protocol for industrial activities involving hazardous materials pipelines.
“This coordination allows the department to maintain readiness for potential emergency response, including resource staging, personnel alerting, and collaboration with other agencies, in the event of any incident such as a leak, spill, or fire,” Fire Chief Garrett Huff said in a statement to The Post.

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.

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]

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. Gholam Reza Soleimani, the head of the Revolutionary Guard's all-volunteer Basij force. Iranian state media did not immediately confirm either death. (snip) The killings again strip away top leaders from the Iranian theocracy after the Feb. 2 strike that killed 6-year old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini.
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:
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.
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' 12 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
In March 2021, California principal Jesus Becerra was confronted by a clear and present threat to his school.
Standing before him was the culprit — a student apparently so dangerous that Becerra had to act without delay to protect the entire Viejo Elementary School in the Capistrano Unified School District. The little girl is known only as B.B. in federal filings, but her actions were so heinous that a parent alerted Becerra to take all necessary action. Beccera showed B.B. the incriminating evidence: a picture of children holding hands with the words “any life” written under “Black Lives Matter.”
Confronting the little girl, Becerra allegedly called the paper “racist.”
More than 600 service members and crew members aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford are without a bed after a fire aboard the ship Thursday, The New York Times reported.
The fire took upwards of 30 hours to douse, according to the publication, and it damaged sailors’ sleeping arrangements so badly that they’re having to sleep on floors and tables.
The Navy announced Thursday that the world’s largest aircraft carrier experienced a non-combat fire that originated in the main laundry room, but the service did not provide further information as to the source of the fire.
“There is no damage to the ship’s propulsion plant

President Donald Trump declared Monday that Iran’s military has been “literally obliterated” by the U.S.-led Operation Epic Fury campaign, while revealing that Iranian officials have been reaching out seeking a deal even as he questioned whether those making contact actually have the authority to negotiate on behalf of a regime whose leadership he says has been largely wiped out.
Speaking to reporters ahead of a meeting with the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees, Trump said weeks of U.S. and Israeli strikes have shattered the Islamic Republic’s military capabilities.

A Christian couple’s years-long fight to regain custody of their daughters from the Swedish government was dealt a major setback last week after a top European court rejected their plea for help. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) ruled the case brought by Daniel and Bianca Samson "inadmissible" on March 10, a final decision that cannot be appealed.
According to Alliance Defending Freedom International, which is supporting the family’s legal effort, the children have been separated from their parents since December 2022.
ADF International said the case began after the couple’s eldest daughter, Sara, then 11, made a false abuse report at school
