Socialism has been a part of our government structure since FDR who was the first president to introduce social programs in the nineteen hundreds. Let’s take a look back into his history and see some of the social programs instituted by him and other past presidents. In the first New Deal, FDR introduced the Agricultural […]
In Retrospect, this was probably one of the most momentous State of the Union speeches ever given by a President, and I say that because we have never had such a dichotomy of radical forces within our country in modern times. We have also never been more prosperous as a nation in terms of our […]
Rep. Sue Chew is a pharmacist and she should stick to filling prescriptions and stop medaling with economics, which she has just proven to us that she knows nothing about with her introduction of a minimum a wage bill in the Idaho legislature. There are several states that have increased their state minimum wages to […]
Dear President Trump Who will Replace Zinke? There has been a lot of debate lately since Secretary of Interior Zinke’s pending resignation and who might replace him. We would like to add our two cents on the two potential candidates from Idaho, Governor Butch Otter and Congressman Raul Labrador. When you look back at the […]
I would like to personally admonish all of those supposedly conservative Idahoans who voted to bring more government intrusion into our state through Medicaid Expansion. I guess you haven’t learned anything from my quotes like the one from Alexis de Tocqueville, “We get the Government We Deserve”. So let’s try one from Thomas Sowell on for […]
A Lesson for all Precinct Committee People in Idaho This article is in response to Eva Gay Yost’s comments on the Kevin Miller Show 580KIDOam and 107.5fm about me not being part of the crony republican process of working to help politicians win their elections when I don’t agree with their policies. Eva is still […]
In a recent article posted Idaho Politics Weekly otherwise known as the “Zions Bank Weekly,” Mr. Jim Jones took on the task of justifying Medicaid expansion. You can read it here. He tried his best to tell his readership how it is unfair that everyone else’s insurance is paid for by the government, so why […]
We took the time this past week to attend an open Ada County Commissioners’ hearing for Priscilla Giddings, a state representative from Idaho County. What we found out was quite interesting and somewhat confusing. The lawyer for Mrs. Giddings presented a very cogent case stating all of the necessary requirements under Idaho law on what […]
On the subject of Medicaid expansion: I would just like to reiterate that you will not solve our medical problems by throwing more money at them. It has already been tried in many states and in every one it has failed, however; it has significantly expanded their debt to the point where many of those […]
Let’s me start off with the statement that the “Media Doesn’t Need Solidarity, It Needs Accountability” Jim Acosta of CNN is nothing more than an irrelevant, loud mouth circus barker who wouldn’t know a good news story from one of Grimms’ fairy tales. The more Acosta speaks out, the less relevant he becomes. It is a sad […]
If you have a business built on the backs of cheap labor performed by illegal immigrants, you have a bad business model which is doomed to failure and all the complaining in the world is not going to change that. When you build a business that requires cheap labor, you run the risk of not […]
I just finished reading Idaho Freedom Foundation head Wayne Hoffman’s proposed solution to the Medicaid expansion problem, and all we can say is you might as well be whistling Dixie while drowning in quicksand. We have written many times about how we need to change the way we look at healthcare in Idaho and in […]
