Reader SPD sent us a link to a point of view piece on “geospatial division” from a Red Ice TV commentator: Outlawing White Neighborhoods & Freedom of Association. Idaho is specifically mentioned at the 7:40 mark. JWR’s Comments: Personally, I lean toward separation on religious lines. Many of the black Christians that I know would be great neighbors. But atheists or Muslims of any skin tone? Not the best neighbors. Choose your neighborhood carefully.

“The State of Montana will create a new 5 member commission to administer the sales tax.” As a Californian, I’m warning Montana, don’t agree to a sales tax!! This is how it starts: pretty soon that 5 member commission will morph into 10 people, with paid salaries, full benefits, and a pension plan. And that will be just the beginning!
I agree with Sandra T. In California we have enough “commissions”, “committees” and “oversight boards” to repopulate a City the size of Spokane. These mostly appointed and seldom elected “citizen volunteers” are an economic drain and seem to exist solely for the purpose of having meetings and developing regulations that choke small businesses and tax everything from water to air. Now our recently departed governor set in motion more oversight and we have hundreds of regional water boards with the sole mission of installing meters on our wells as yet another source of revenue. Stand strong Montana and read my lips “No New Taxes”.
Best wishes from the land of fruits and nuts. JP
The CB shop in Boise Is a great place. I live about 6 hrs away and so I mail work to him and he ships it back. Great guy, great work and a fair price. You can trust Al to do a great job.
As another lifelong Californian…I agree that Montana would be best advised to stay away from anything Sacramento has implemented. We hear the words “commission”, “committee”, “council”, etc. all the time and only hear the whooshing sound of our dollars being sucked from our pocketbooks. Life here in CA has become a never-ending game of discovering ways to dodge or mitigate the countless fees, taxes, and regulations foisted upon us every year.
I chuckle at the prospect of *only* five people overseeing something in MT. Here in CA, it ain’t considered a real project unless the five people in charge have all their friends and relatives lined up as paid “advisors” to bloat the budget.
Unfortunately wolves are still the protected cute little darlings here in Ea. Wa. as mandated by the Socialist Kingdom of Washington powers in Olympia.
Got word Monday that the last Caribou in Ea. Wa. was shipped back to Canada due to predation by wolves decimating the herd. Well isn’t that just special! Now they have no caribou for lunch, so they will turn their attention and gangster ways upon cattle, calves, and sheep, with the occasional kid or hiker thrown in just to keep things interesting. A rancher in Ferry Co. is reported to have lost 73 due to wolves in the past 3 years. @ roughly $1,000 a pop that’s an entire years (or more) income simply been spent for some critters lunch.
But to let them run rampant on Bainbridge Island or the Snohomish watershed – well we can’t be having that – it “might” be dangerous. As usual, the Eastern half pays through the nose for the coastal elites folly but garners nothing but contempt for it. We badly need the State of Liberty, would be a great asset to “Rawles Land”…. Where God, Country, and Constitution are the norm.
N S,
We have the occasional wolf kill in our part of Eastern Washington, young steers and goats. Wolves are a problem, no doubt. Liberty does make sense to me but, it is a long process and most of the sheeple are totally asleep.

As per the the law against all white neighborhoods, would I be forced to move to an all white neighborhood? The root word of liberal is liberty. Yet it’s always white ‘liberals’ telling me I can’t do this, I can’t say that, and that my rights have to be infringed because of “them” people…..
