U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman says we need term limits, but not for members of Congress. No, Wyoming’s GOP freshman lawmaker has identified another group she said must have its power held in check: federal employees.

I’m like the person who said, “If I were lost and all I had was a compass, I would remain lost.” We were in Florida visiting our kids when COVID was winding down. Gar and I decided to get a few groceries and remembered we’d seen a small market in a strip mall not far away. I pulled in and as I got my purse from the back, Gar came around and got into the driver’s seat.

I want to encourage our constituents to take a few minutes to help us continue to get the word out about both the rate increases proposed by Rocky Mountain Power and the proposed changes to the BLM’s southwest Resource Management Plan (RMP) for multiple use. Both of these entities have failed to consider the long-term and short-term repercussions from both of these poorly thought-out decisions.

Autumn is a beloved season. A time often thought of as cozy; filled with blankets, pumpkins, and hot chocolate. The weather isn’t the only thing that changes as September kicks off the fall season though, so do many people’s mental health. As days get shorter and colder, autumn is the open door to seasonal depression. During a season so often romanticized on social media and TV shows, how can one find their wellness in the midst of the reality of fall?

Last January, Gar went to Texas for the winter while I stayed home and worked, because I don’t know how long we’re going to live and I like to eat regularly. Wintertime where we live sees 90-120 nights below zero and an average of 39 days of below-zero weather.

What’s it like to try to organize a union in one of the reddest states in the country? When Starbucks employees in downtown Cheyenne first took their complaints public June 25 at a one-day strike to protest working conditions, one woman carried a sign on the picket line that read, “If baristas are out here, something is WRONG in there!”

Modern political campaigns have given rise to a new breed of politician: the performance artist. This type of candidate is known less for their ideas or qualifications and more for their attention-grabbing antics. Whether it be through bombastic statements or through policy proposals with no basis in reality, this type of candidate is far more concerned with performance over policy.

When I told a new client that I use so much hairspray the mop on my head is more hairspray than hair, she gave a hearty laugh, thinking I was jesting. Then she witnessed a fascinating, transfixing phenomenon.

The American people want our nation to be energy-independent. They know increasing production of American energy is the best way to achieve that. Pres. Joe Biden is telling the American people to pound sand.

Nobody knows. That’s what lawmakers and experts said over and over again earlier this month when asked if a proposed voucher system that would use public funds to educate kids in private and religious schools violates the Wyoming Constitution. It’s an illogical question because the Wyoming Constitution specifically prohibits such uses. So why are we even talking about this? The plan’s blatant unconstitutionality is all we really need to know.

Gar has never liked water, but at our birthed doctor’s request, he started drinking less iced tea and more water with powdered flavors in it. As the summer wore down, he got tired of the taste of the additive in his drinks and went back to tea, which he’d been making in the form of sun tea. He’s aware that I’d like him to drink more water too, so our morning conversation was as expected.

The federal government shouldn’t be in the business of picking winners and losers. The Biden administration ignores this principle by proposing rules that would effectively require all new cars to be electric by 2032. The president is trying to force all American drivers to purchase expensive electric cars many don’t need, don’t want, and can’t afford. He’s committing hundreds of billions in taxpayer money on this single technology. He’s also costing consumers their right to pick the vehicles they drive.

The 3rd Annual Bridger Valley SWOT OHV Poker Run will be taking place on Saturday, Aug. 19. The poker run is a joint event sponsored by the Town of Mountain View, American Legion Fort Bridger Post 36 and Southwest Wyoming Off-road Trails (SWOT).

Is there anything glorious about growing old? I recently saw a sign stating, “Don’t grow up. It’s a dang trick.” Why didn’t somebody tell us, like a really long time ago?

Republicans are making big decisions right now. The presidential campaign is in full swing, Republicans in Congress are struggling to find consensus amid a divided caucus and narrow votes, and Republican voters are watching and evaluating which direction we want our party to go. As we make these choices, we Republicans must keep a proper mindset if we are to build a party that endures into the future.

Let’s say you agree with the Wyoming Freedom Caucus on many issues. Let’s say you prefer small government, few regulations and healthy support for religious views in the public sphere. Even then, you should be worried about the Freedom Caucus’ lack of practical solutions for Wyoming problems. The rest of us, including more traditional conservatives, plus moderates and progressives, should be motivated to keep the caucus from obtaining the relatively few seats it needs to take control of the House.

“In the eight years that my father was President of the United States I never once sat in the room with business associates and called him on the phone. If I had, the Democrats would have skewered me.” When I posted that tweet the other day, it got a huge response.

John Kerry, President Joe Biden’s climate envoy, was in China eager to revive joint U.S.-China efforts to tackle climate change. Chalk this up as another episode in the Biden administration’s fumbling foreign policy to placate the Chinese Communist Party. China is playing Biden officials for suckers.

I’ve often read that to be successful you must commit to something you know and stick with it. Well, I’m no singer, but I still sing. I know nothing about singing and I don’t plan on learning, but I know I like to sing so I do.
