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 North Idaho Republicans group. (See the Idaho section.)
Idaho
The Idaho GOP’s recent changes, as reported by the liberal Idaho Statesman newspaper: Former GOP heads say party needs ‘course correction’ after divisive changes. JWR’s Comments: The truth is that a few disgruntled RINOs are tasting sour grapes, after being pushed out by genuine conservatives. In North Idaho, some RINOs have tried to raise funds to weasel themselves a new branch of the Republican Party, calling themselves “North Idaho Republicans”. But that group was quickly and definitively censured by the GOP. Don’t be fooled by their rhetoric and their feel-good website. They want to push the Republican party politics in Idaho back toward centrist and “bipartisan” acccomodation/capitulation to the liberal agenda. Beware! The “North Idaho Republicans” group is in alignment with the Liz Cheney school of Republican party politics.
