But you will hate 2 years of a Democratic Congress even more, so VOTE! I needed to write this article because I’m tired of listing to the constant belly aching by so many on the right and the left about the high price of gas and diesel. I often think about how lucky America is […]
AI will be the Savior of America’s economy, not the Destroyer The billions of investment dollars pouring into American AI are by far the largest peacetime capital mobilization in America’s history or the 4th industrial revolution. Although the payoff isn’t guaranteed the setup is real and all of the pieces are in place for this […]
Who Will Pay for the Power Upgrade? A conservative doesn’t oppose growth. But a conservative does insist that the people who build private facilities pay their own way instead of handing the bill to the grandma down the road. Drive past Kuna and you can see the future being poured in concrete. Meta is building […]
The core conservative argument is economic and geopolitical. The American Enterprise Institute’s work frames AI primarily as a growth engine. In their analysis of whether AI could cause “explosive” economic growth, scholars like Tamay Besiroglu put meaningful odds-on AI dramatically raising productivity potentially many times the roughly 2% annual growth the U.S. has averaged for […]
I want to personally thank Senator Brian Lenney for making known the problems that Idahoans will face if indeed this Micron FAB is permitted to be built under the auspices of 18-year-old legislation never used for the purpose it was written. This will leave Idaho’s citizens to once again pick up the tab for Idaho […]
I constantly hear on the news from both conservative and liberal media that Americans are complaining about unaffordability and how families are struggling to make ends meet under the Trump Administration. Well, it is high time that middle America woke up and discovered that it is not Trump’s fault that things are unaffordable. The left […]
Let me start with the fact that the federal government controls 61.9% of Idaho’s land or about 32.8 of its 52.9 million acres. Unfortunately, as the players in Washington change so do the objectives for our land. We can all remember Lava Ridge where the BLM gave final approval in Dec. 2024 to a 104,000 […]
I have often written about how our education system in Idaho is doing and how it is affecting our children. Recently there has been a lot of conversations about the new interest in DSA and socialism on the news and in what direction our country may be moving. While civics is a course taught in […]
Today’s shift in young people’s views is real and large. A 2025 Cato/YouGov poll found 62% of 18–29-year-olds hold a favorable view of “socialism,” while favorability toward capitalism among young adults has fallen to around 39% in recent Harvard and Gallup polling down roughly 20 points over a decade. The question I have to ask […]
How will it affect us economically and socially? The intuition is simple: A historic border surge let millions of illegals in, so would deporting them recover the cost? The evidence is not simple. The costs and benefits fall on different governments and different timelines and the real decision was never a straight choice between removal […]
The honest answer is that it’s an unsettled legal question right now, as the courts have not definitively decided it, and litigation is actively working its way through the system as of 2026. Here’s the underlying legal framework. Flock cameras are nothing more than automated license plate readers (ALPRs). Traditionally, most courts have held there […]
How Secure Is Your Vote? Government security testers broke into election networks in hours, not months. The same declassified files that expose the weaknesses also spell out the repairs and there is still time to make them before November. A plain-language briefing built entirely from the records released by the White House Government Transparency Task […]
