The New Year brings a sense that there are new opportunities. One of those opportunities could give you the ability to shape our local, state, and even national politics.

Will 2026 be the year AGI reveals the truth about “Climate Change”? Twenty years ago, Al Gore’s Power Point presentation turned film “An Inconvenient Truth” opened the door to massive societal and economic commitments to battle the existential threat of global warming. Anyone who dared to question the climate model predictions was labeled a heretic […]
The North Idaho “Republican” PAC (NIR) uses Democrat tactics to harm the Republican Party. How many times have the Democrats leveled accusations against conservatives that later turn out to be a big nothing burger.

What we don’t see are any effective corrective actions to address these problems. If a […]
There is a divide in the Republican Party. You have the establishment, Neocon Republicans like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Lindsey Graham, and Nikki Haley. Then you have the common-sense conservative “MAGA” Republicans such as Donald Trump, J. D. Vance, Ted Cruz, Kari Lake and Elon Musk. This divide runs all the way from the presidency […]
Tuesday’s election had some very interesting and positive results, along with a little negative. The grassroots conservative candidates recommended by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) swept most of the offices in the county with the exception of Coeur d’Alene and Hayden. Turnout was 28%, which is lower than we would like but more […]
