Yes, folks Cronyism is alive and well in Idaho and while they tell you this is for the Kido’s we must wonder why Governor Little pushed so hard to get this bill passed. I would venture to say that this bill was the brainchild of Idaho’s largest lobbyists the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry (IACI) as they have more to gain than even the children getting these grants. You only need to see who is on this Workforce Development council to find out that this is clearly a way to pay back those who saw fit to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to both Governor Littles campaign and The Friends of Brad Little Pac along with many of the RINO establishment candidates.
This bill lacks accountability and is more geared toward the needs of the corporate elitists than for the benefit of the students. Market forces should be the determining factor for students making career decisions not a give away program which favors those industries of people who have been appointed by the governor to sit on the Workforce Development Council. Why should this council of government cronies be able to pick and choose which careers High School graduates should be steered to. It should be market forces that dictate where these students should be guided for future employment opportunities not big brother or in this case “Little brother”. The biggest problem with this program is there is no real oversight except by the office of the governor and we all know that it will be farmed out to some underling who is in Governor Little’s hip pocket. This is nothing but central planning. What is to keep our tax dollars from going to these private interests who make up this Workforce council?
It was Republicans who voted for HB24: This bill passed by a very slim margin in the senate, and we want you to know who the socialist republicans are who populate our legislature. The following is a list of those legislators who voted to pass House Bill 24 the Idaho Launch Grant, along with their party affiliation, and the latest Idaho Freedom Index Score. These are the Socialists pretending to be Republicans that are part of the problem with our legislature. These are the people who are turning our state Blue and if you continue to vote them into office you will continue to be disappointed by their performance as conservatives. If you want to know why there is no relief for those who pay property taxes these people are a big part of the problem. They continue to spend your tax dollars to support the lobbyists that keep them in office. There are only two republicans who crossed the 50% mark for conservative voting by the Idaho Freedom Foundation and they did it by one percentage point. The numbers in Red are their scores on the Freedom Foundation Index. If you want to bring conservatism back to Idaho, you need to stop voting for these RINOS who squander our tax dollars on socialist programs like this Idaho Launch.

Indeed!
But WHY is that the case in Idaho and in all of the other 49 states?
Could it have something to do with Article 6’s Christian test ban by which mandatory biblical qualifications were likewise eliminated? Once adopted, it was inevitable that America would be ruled by nothing but nincompoops, scoundrels, incompetents, immoral reprobates, and outright criminals. Sound familiar?
Take nincompoops, for example. Exodus 18:21’s qualifications begin with the fear of Yahweh. Kings David and Solomon point out the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Thus, without the fear of Yahweh, you end up with, at best, nincompoops as your alleged leaders.
The best you can ever get from the Constitutional Republic’s unbiblical election system is the lessers of two evils. Sometimes, the worst of the worst. And always, the evil of two lessers.
For more regarding Article 6’s Christian test ban, see Chapter 9 “Article 6: The Supreme Law of the Land” of free online book “Bible Law vs. the United States Constitution: The Christian Perspective” at http://www.bibleversusconstitution.org/BlvcOnline/biblelaw-constitutionalism-pt9.html.

Public apathy has provided us with the abusive public servants & dictatorship by Lobbyists we deserve.
President Trump did his best to help us unite & flush our political toilets & is making yet another attempt to help us help ourselves.
America desperately needs a Patriotic Forum to help us welcome our lawful & civic constitutional obligation as Oath Enforcers to purge our rogue political outlaws & restore representative government before we’re disarmed & it’s too late.
Whining without a solution to promptly & lawfully purge America’s political criminals solves nothing.
I believe the solution will be made in the next election. A lot is being done to ensure that it’s a fair election, but more is needed. The internet is now open to “both” parties…no more censorship or one- sided opinions. As soon as we get rid of the clown show we are currently living, the sooner our lives will be back to some normalcy. Be careful who you vote for!
