This weekly column features news stories and event announcements from around the American Redoubt region. (Idaho, Montana, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Wyoming.) Much of the region is also more commonly known as The Inland Northwest. We also mention companies of interest to preppers and survivalists that are located in the American Redoubt region. Today, we focus on the impact of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. (See the Region-Wide section.)

A report from the left-wing Inlander tabloid: New data from Idaho and Washington helps debunk some myths about who’s moving here, and whether they came as self-identified political refugees or for the quality of life. Here is an excerpt:
“We can even get into the demographics of folks coming from each city. Like the single voter who moved to Kootenai County from Ontario, Oregon, isn’t affiliated with a political party and is between the ages of 30 and 49. Or the two voters from San Martin, California, who are both older than 70 years old and registered as Democrats in Kootenai County.
Because of this we can debunk a myth while telling you something you probably could’ve guessed. All these new Idahoans aren’t Democrats coming to liberalize the Gem State. In reality, most of the people moving to Idaho are Republicans. In the case of those Californians, almost 80% of them registered in Idaho as Republicans. (By contrast, only 58% of the state’s nearly 1 million voters are registered as Republicans.)”

An interesting biographical sketch: William F. Jasper, Idaho Native: A Man for Our Time. JWR’s Comments: I met Bill Jasper when I was living near Orofino, in the 1990s. He had by then already moved to Sacramento, but he fairly regularly came home to visit his parents, Morris (“Gene”) and Dolores (“Rusty”), and they were friends of mine. I have a lot of respect for Bill and his principled approach to journalism.

Tester, Sheehy locked in a tight race for Montana Senate seat: Poll. JWR’s Comments: I heard from a SurvivalBlog reader in Montana that Tester’s campaign is using every trick imaginable. The latest is a fake news “newspaper” called The Montana Independent that is published in Washington D.C. and mailed out as a “non-profit” organization publication. It is “a project of American Independent Media“. Well, that is just a Democrat mouthpiece that weaseled its way into 501(c)(4) tax-exempt status. From a fact checker: “True Blue Media publishes The American Independent, using content from The American Independent Foundation, a non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization, and other sources. The website also fails to disclose that Democratic political operative David Brock owns a 35% share of True Blue Media.” The Montana Independent is laden with pro-Tester articles. It is neither published in Montana, nor is it independent. They recently started a big election cycle round of hard copy “newspaper” mailings to Montana residents. Hopefully, most Montana voters won’t be fooled.
