    Let’s thank the politician who helped drive the Freedom Caucus out of power - WyoFile (opens the original)

    I know it’s way too early for a Thanksgiving column. Halloween is still more than a month away. But if I wait until the holiday, the person I want most to express my thanks to will have likely dropped out of the headlines after losing in the Nov. 3 election. Who will want to read about her then? Rebecca Bextel, the Constitution Party’s candidate for governor and central player in the “Checkgate” controversy, must be recognized before voting begins for the welcome contribution she inadvertently m

    Opinion | What happened to Trump’s deporting the ‘worst of the worst’? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Driving with a broken taillight should not result in a man losing his job, then being secretly taken away from his family and deported to a country where his life is in danger. But it did end that way for Carlos Montes of Cheyenne, despite not having a criminal record and doing everything he could to become a legal citizen of the United States. Montes is by no stretch of the imagination the “worst of the worst,” the type of person President Donald Trump told Americans he would remove through his

    Opinion | Wyoming doesn't want federal government interfering in state elections (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It was a week after Wyoming’s Aug. 18 primary election before voters — who were already betrayed last year when Secretary of State Chuck Gray handed over sensitive state voter data to President Donald Trump’s administration — learned of another outrageous injustice. Two U.S. Department of Justice attorneys were sent to Cheyenne to monitor the election, blindsiding officials like Gov. Mark Gordon and Laramie County Clerk Debra Lee, who are both Republicans. Gordon doesn’t criticize the president

    Opinion | Wyoming GOP lost power, credibility with wasted Bien endorsement (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    With much fanfare and at the risk of violating state law, the Wyoming Republican Party broke with decades of tradition and endorsed candidates in last week’s primary election instead of remaining neutral. It picked the losing candidates in all four of the competitive races for statewide offices. The most embarrassing misfire was Brent Bien for governor, who finished third. The far-right retired Marine colonel has never won a political race. He finished a distant second to Gov. Mark Gordon in the

    The Wyoming Freedom Caucus can blame itself for its resounding defeat - WyoFile (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Freedom Caucus bristled whenever anyone, including yours truly, described it as “far right.” So, the media started using adjectives like “further right” and “hard-line conservatives.” Thanks to Tuesday’s shocking primary election results, we now know what to accurately call a huge chunk of these Freedom Caucus members, including its top leadership: “former legislators.” Please note that I did not write “losers.” I am not a cruel man, just a very happy one. And I know the political winds can
