Elon Musk and his “band of merry guys and gals” has created controversy and consternation in the hearts of the entrenched political bureaucratic deep state in Washington DC. We need the same thing to happen in Idaho State Government, and the entrenched Republican establishment in Boise is doing everything within their power to not let […]
I find it interesting that as President Trump celebrates his First 100 days, his detractors in the media and those progressive politicians on the left have nothing of substance to offer in the political debate. As President Trump takes actions, secures the boarder, strengthens our military, engages magistrates and mayors who fail to obey the […]
J. R. R. Tolkien the great writer of novels (THE HOBBIT and LORD OF THE RINGS) are just two examples, was also a great Christian Apologetic who is credited with helping C. S. Lewis in his faith journey. Like so many great authors and astute observers of everyday life, they possess the gift of great […]
According to The American Medical Association (AMA) Master File and The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) the supply of physicians who are actively participating in patient care is 9.3% higher in 2020 than it was in 2009.

WE have now had a week to think about the proceedings of the Idaho Legislature over the past 14 weeks. Going into the session, many of us had high expectations that a new “order of the day” would prevail, and that issues that were important to WE THE PEOPLE would be able to be debated […]
We live in an age where anyone located on any place on earth—or even in outer space, can communicate with almost anyone at any time. This situation changed dramatically 40 years ago. I remember being on The USS Virginia, returning from many months at sea, and pulling into Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. I then had to […]
Elon Musk and the Chief Operating Officer of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Steve Davis—both rocket scientists, and the six DOGE executives running the DOGE-XAI software reconciliation of government accounts, were interviewed by Bret Baier on Fox News yesterday. A couple of observations and then some comments about the media narrative surrounding DOGE. First […]
I have only met Brad Little a few times. He is a gentleman and a good family man. He has grown a family business and made a home for he and his children and grandchildren. These are all great accomplishments that are far more important than anything one can accomplish in the world of politics. […]
Dateline Whidby Island Washington and Strait of Georgia. WE are visiting Whidby Island Washington for maybe the fortieth time in our lives. I first flew into The Naval Air Station on Whidby Island in 1979, landing at midnight. I was met by my father-in-law Captain Jerry Thummel who had commanded a P-3 Orion squadron on […]
In her book TEAM OF RIVALS Doris Kearns Goodwin describes how a group of petty, jealous, ambitious, men with extraordinary and unique talents, was able to be corralled by President Abraham Lincoln. He used his own unique talents at critical times and by the skin of their teeth they helped to save our Republic. Lincoln […]
The hate and rage that is being demonstrated today by those on the political left and in the mainstream media against Donald Trump and Elon Musk has reached new ends over the past two weeks. Hate and rage are emotions. They are never ever grounded in logic or reason. The reason for the rage and […]
Mass psychogenic illness—also known as “mass hysteria” has occurred throughout history. Notable examples are the Salem Witch trials, the Covid faux pandemic, Y2K, the Ukrainian phone call, Russian collusion by Trump and the “peepee tapes”, and yesterday the partisan “signal chat” dump of a strategy session between our Vice President and our National Security team.
