There was a time in American history when human beings were not considered to be fully human. Southern plantation owners saw African slaves as property, having the same value as an ox or horse. Southern politicians did their best to avoid talking about the actual horrors of chattel slavery, preferring instead to use euphemisms like […]
Proponents of abortion, and of Proposition 1 here in Idaho, want to steer the conversation toward vague concepts of healthcare, freedom, choice, and rare edge cases while avoiding the obvious: abortion is the deliberate destruction of a human life. Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg of a deep sickness in modern culture. […]
In just a few short months, Idaho voters will be asked if they want to legalize abortion in the Gem State. In spite of all the rhetoric you’ve heard about Proposition 1—how it’s about reproductive freedom, about choice, about saving women’s lives—in the end, it comes down to abortion: the willing destruction of an unborn […]
You’ve surely seen them by now—thousands of signs popping up throughout the state proclaiming a simple yet profound truth: Idaho values life. It seems so obvious, but this November Idahoans will be asked once and for all if we truly value all human life, including the unborn. I’ve been traveling the state these past few […]
Last Saturday, the unthinkable happened. A gunman opened fire on guests and employees of a Twin Falls In-N-Out Burger, as well as a nearby Tesla charging station. Now, three people are dead, many more are injured, and a community has been shaken to its core. Ashley Garibay was just 23 years old. In-N-Out was her […]
This summer, Idaho has once again been reminded of the awesome power of wildfire. From the devastating Big Grass Fire in Owyhee County to the fires that have scarred central Idaho in recent years, we have watched homes destroyed, livestock lost, wildlife displaced, and entire communities threatened. Families who have worked the land for generations […]
This November, Idahoans have a choice to make: keep the Gem State a sanctuary for all life, including preborn babies, or adopt a radical abortion regime even darker than the days of Roe v. Wade. With less than two months until absentee ballots arrive in mailboxes, we have no time to lose when it comes […]
I’m sure you’ve heard that the so-called “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” has qualified for the ballot. That means you, the voters of Idaho, will face a clear choice this November: bring abortion back to Idaho, or maintain our state’s status as a sanctuary for the unborn. Supporters of the initiative, now called Proposition 1, […]
Well, it’s all but official. Word is that pro-abortion activists found enough signatures to get their radical and deceptive “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” on the November ballot. I’ve never seen such a dishonest title. Abortion is not about freedom, it’s not about privacy, and it’s certainly not about reproduction. Abortion is the deliberate destruction […]
Every now and then, we reach a moment in history that causes us to stop and recognize its significance. I can still vividly remember celebrating America’s 200th birthday in 1976. It was my senior year of high school, and my Southern belle dress won top prize and landed me on the front page of the Springfield […]
Can you believe it’s been two years already? I told a story at the 2024 Idaho GOP State Convention in Coeur d’Alene about getting a personalized license plate with the number 2024 to remind me and everyone I drove past just how important that year was going to be. And what a year it was! […]
