Having visited Minnesota and Minneapolis over the years for both business and pleasure, I can say that the current events are far removed […]
When we look at the constant turmoil and civil unrest that is taking place in our country, we must say to ourselves, how did all of this come about and how do we rectify it and become a united nation once again? I have written many times about the dangers of succumbing to the leftist […]
Overview Idaho remains one of only thirteen states to tax groceries and is one of just three—alongside Alabama and Mississippi—that applies the full state sales tax rate to food purchases. At 6%, this tax costs Idaho families $406 million every year. Although the state returns $251 million through a grocery tax credit system, it still […]
Ongoing Fraud Investigations and Local Concerns Allegations of billions of dollars in fraud continue to surface in states such as Minnesota, with investigations now beginning in Maine and Ohio. These developments suggest that further abuse in misusing U.S. taxpayer money is likely to be uncovered. It would be naive to assume that Idaho is immune […]

As we hear the cry from many Americans about how unaffordable America is, we need to ask ourselves how this came about. Well, I would suggest that opening our borders and allowing 10 or 15 million illegal aliens to migrate and scatter to every congressional district in the country has caused a serious strain on […]

If you’re not part of the solution, you are more than likely part of the problem, and certainly that is the junction that we are at today. I can’t remember a time in the 80 years I have been on this earth where there has been more discourse in America. Last week, I wrote about […]
