High Plains Pundit is your destination for news and commentary that cuts through the noise and brings a much-needed dose of common sense to today’s most important conversations. Through the High Plains Pundit Podcast, High Plains Pundit Blog, and High Plains Pundit Weekly Newsletter, readers and listeners get sharp, independent insight into culture, current events, and politics—without the spin, buzzwords, or recycled talking points.

Founded in 2009 by Dan Butcher, High Plains Pundit was created with a simple but powerful mission: to provide an honest view of what too many outlets are unwilling to say out loud. High Plains Pundit delivers provocative, thoughtful perspectives that challenge conventional narratives and encourage deeper thinking. This isn’t commentary designed to tell you what to believe—it’s content meant to help you understand what’s really happening and why it matters.

The High Plains Pundit Podcast takes listeners inside exclusive stories and conversations you won’t hear anywhere else. With insightful interviews and direct commentary, the podcast goes beyond headlines to explore the forces shaping our world. The High Plains Pundit Blog expands on these ideas with incisive written analysis, peeling away surface-level narratives to reveal the facts and context often left out of mainstream coverage. Meanwhile, the High Plains Pundit Weekly Newsletter brings it all together, delivering curated insights straight to your inbox so you never miss what matters most.

At its core, High Plains Pundit is about clarity in an age of confusion. It peels away the narratives, questions assumptions, and gets beyond the talking points to tell you what’s really going on. If you’re looking for independent thought, honest analysis, and commentary grounded in common sense, High Plains Pundit invites you to join the conversation—and think more deeply about the world around you.
