This Friday marks the 249th birthday of the United States of America. On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress ratified a document declaring that thirteen British colonies in North America were henceforth independent of Great Britain and absolved of all allegiance to King George III and his Parliament. For our Founding Fathers, that day […]
It’s that time of year again, when Idahoans turn out for parades, light fireworks, and celebrate the greatest country on God’s green earth. Two hundred forty-nine years ago, John Adams declared that we should commemorate America’s independence with pomp and parade, shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent […]

After four disastrous years of the Biden regime, the American people chose to return power to the one man they trusted to finally do what they’ve been demanding for years. Donald Trump is a fighter, and he triumphantly returned to the White House with an audacious plan to bulldoze the bureaucratic rot, challenge the D.C. […]
America is a nation of pioneers and immigrants; a land of opportunity for those willing to work hard to pursue their dreams.

When most people think about elections, they think of presidential contests, gubernatorial races, or seats in Congress. These big, flashy campaigns dominate the headlines. But some of the most consequential decisions affecting our communities don’t come from Washington, or even from Boise. They come from local boards and commissions elected in so-called “off-cycle” elections. Less […]
This week, Idaho received a special visit from the strange world of Blue America. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York seem to be pretty popular on the left, despite promoting a tired, discredited ideology with rhetoric lifted straight from the 1960s. They parachuted into Nampa to deliver a sermon […]
The rule of law is the foundation of western civilization. More than 800 years ago, Englishmen forced the tyrannical King John to sign a document respecting their natural rights, including the right to a trial by jury. Two hundred and fifty years ago, our Founding Fathers declared independence from another tyrannical king, standing on the […]
Bodily autonomy is perhaps the most fundamental natural right we have. Without control over what goes into our own bodies, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” become impossible. The Idaho Legislature has passed a bill guaranteeing that right to every citizen, and it now awaits Governor Brad Little’s signature. Senate Bill 1023, the Medical […]
This week, a legislative committee held a hearing on a bill that would have allowed more Idaho families to raise backyard chickens. While the bill ultimately failed to advance to the floor, it was yet another example of how Idaho families are responding as inflation continues driving grocery prices through the roof. Here in Idaho, […]
The Idaho House overwhelmingly rejected House Concurrent Resolution 10, aimed at petitioning Congress to call an Article V Convention of States. This is a decisive victory for Idahoans by safeguarding America’s Constitution. The resolution failed by a significant margin, 44 nays to 26 ayes. This rejection occurred despite Convention of States promoters who have spent […]
