From the time I was five years old until I went to college, I spent several weeks each summer on the Ojibwa Indian Reservation at Cass Lake Minnesota. We lived on Norway Beach in the Chippawa National Forest. We held Title and Deed to our home, but the property immediately surrounding our home was on […]
I spent Memorial Day 2025 on Whidby Island, Washington. Our new family vacation home is in Oak Harbor, the home of Whidby Island Naval Air Station. It was good to see so many young military families at Mass on Memorial Day Sunday. It reinforces my belief that we are hopefully at the beginning of a […]
We have all heard the story of “Alibi Ike” in one form or another. I learned the lesson on a football practice field in Marion, Ohio, when I was 16 years old. Upper Arlington—The good guys, were scrimmaging the team from Marion. It was at the end of the scrimmage, and the second teamers were […]
I was asked by a group of concerned citizens to give my opinion about the actions that have been taken against Dr. Ryan Cole by both the Washington State Board of Medicine and The Idaho Board of Medicine. I have not recently reviewed the allegations made against him, nor have I reviewed all of the […]
On May 1 Hiliary Clinton spoke at the Newmark Civic Life Series in Manhattan at the 92nd Street Y, New York. She argued that there is a “very blatant effort to basically send a message, most exemplified by Vance and Musk, and others, that, you know, what we really need from you women are more children… and […]
The greatest war in the history of the world was fought and won without a shot ever being fired or a soldier or sailor having been killed in battle. Three men leveraged and then deployed their moral fiber and virtue, and their profound belief in God, that was the bases of the moral pillars they […]
What an incredible 115 days Donald Trump has had. Trying to pin down a central theme with so many accomplishments on the national security, economic, and with DOGE is tough to do. Even as his administration confronts the virtue signaling-nihilistic, “dummy scrimmage Wanta be heroes” on the political left and in the mainstream media and […]
It doesn’t matter if you are talking about the Federal Government in Washington, DC., our State Government in Boise, or Municipal government in Garden City or many other Idaho small towns; the single biggest problem and threat to governance everywhere, is the co-opting of the governance process itself by special interests and lobbyists. In Washington, […]
So many progressive liberals invoke the concept of “social justice” when they discuss political and policy narratives about a variety of issues including everything from race and income inequality to welfare and immigration. I have recently heard an argument from a former BSU professor that included “social justice” as one of the foundations for invoking […]
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 […]
