Dave Simpson: Don't Look Now, But Eggs Are Down

Columnist Dave Simpson writes, “We should be whipping up tasty omelets for breakfast, baking cakes and feasting on egg-salad sandwiches in celebration. Maybe Trump had something to do with it. Maybe not. Whatever.”

Cassie Craven: Wyoming's Stable Token Is In A Race

Columnist Cassie Craven writes, “The argument goes that the more people use the Wyoming stablecoin, the more the state's schools should potentially benefit. Some critical analysts believe that, WYST stablecoin might also be in direct competition with the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial USD1 stablecoin.”

Gail Symons: Just Who Benefits From Ousting Lobbyists?

Gail Symons writes: "The next time you hear someone rail against lobbyists, take a moment to ask who stands to gain from that outrage. It might not be you. In fact, it might be the person trying to make sure your voice is no longer heard."

Bill Sniffin: Grads, We Gave You Roots And We Gave You Wings – Now Grow And Fly

Columnist Bill Sniffin writes, "Bill Sniffin writes: “Grads, timing is the single most important thing in getting ahead.  You must stay on top of trends and always, always check which way the economic winds are blowing.  You must be a man or woman of action."

Joan Barron: Although Flawed, Wyoming Has Best System For Independent Judiciary

Columnist Joan Barron writes, "It is heartening to see so many people standing up for Wyoming’s method of selecting an independent judiciary. Although flawed, this is the best system there is for maintaining an independent judiciary."

Dennis Sun: What’s Your Beef?

Columnist Dennis Sun writes, "Better management practices and technology, along with genetics, are just some of the reasons consumers want more lamb and are still buying beef at record-high prices at the meat counter and at restaurants."

Jonathan Lange: Wyoming’s Constitution Demands Election Purity, Not Voter Turnout

Columnist Jonathan Lange writes, "Wyoming has long required documentary proof of residency to qualify voters. But, oddly, nobody has to show them unless a county clerk officially asks to see them. Such unequal treatment of voters was remedied by HB 156."

Tom Lubnau: Analyzing The Freedom Caucus’s Excuses For Keeping Their Secrets

Columnist Tom Lubnau writes, "Rep. Rodriguez Williams' column does not deny the existence of daily text messages coming from a puppet master. Her column does not tell who the puppet master is. She does not offer to disclose those text messages."

Cassie Craven: Lawsuit Challenging Wyoming Voter ID Law Treats Women Like Idiots

Columnist Cassie Craven writes, "The Left appears conflicted on women, as if we were only a means to an end: Take our sports, our definitions and our dignity – but moralize about women’s rights when we’re asked to get our voting documentation in order."

Gail Symons: What I Actually Mean When I Say 'Fourth-Generation Wyomingite'

Columnist Gail Symons writes: "We’re fiercely protective of Wyoming’s identity because we’ve seen how hard-won it is. But that perspective, if not tempered with humility, can come across as arrogant. As if being born here makes someone more Wyoming than anyone else. That’s not how it works."
