Dave Simpson: Checking In With My Cranky Casper Pal

Columnist Dave Simpson writes, “We both understand something about Donald Trump that eludes our Democrat friends. We don't pay much attention to his long-winded, blustery speeches, the ones that drive Democrats bat-guano crazy. But we sure like  this guy's results.”

Gail Symons: Rodeo Is Wyoming's Soul Laid Bare

Columnist Gail Symons writes: "Nearly every small town hosts its own grassroots version of the big rodeos, from Friday nights in Dubois or Kaycee to Fourth of July celebrations in Ten Sleep. These local rodeos have full parking lots, kids in the stands, and neighbors shaking hands across the fence."

Cassie Craven: Prayer Is Better Than Politics

Columnist Cassie Craven writes, “If we want to get humanity on track there’s only one way to do that, and it is through a power much higher than the Freedom Caucus.”

Joan Barron: Can We Get Rid Of Prison Gerrymandering?

Columnist Joan Barron writes, "Although the inmates are convicted felons and cannot vote, they are counted as part of the overall population. They have been called 'Wyoming’s ghost constituents.'"

Tom Lubnau: Don’t Let Sloppy Politicians Try To Blame The Legislative Service Office

Columnist Tom Lubnau writes, "Since recent legislatures are bound and determined to bring back every bad idea from the last 50 years, I expect to see the secession bill dusted off and brought out of the filing cabinet, to waste more time and effort."

Gail Symons: In Wyoming, Patriotism Is A Verb 

Columnist Gail Symons writes: "The power of patriotism lies in its ability to remind us of the common values that unite us. In Wyoming, this means more than just pride, it means responsibility."

Cassie Craven: It’s Time For The Whiners To Wake Up 

Columnist Cassie Craven writes, “To say that America is not free because you're on the losing side of political issues dealing with women’s spaces and war overseas is ignorant. It is blind to the sacrifices made by 18-year-olds who did things that still haunt their dreams, to protect people they’ll never know.”

Joan Barron: Another Party For Republicans?

Columnist Joan Barron writes, ''I doubt the idea of another party for Republicans would fly in Wyoming, where the GOP and the state legislature have been taken over by the hard GOP Christian right.''
