Skeptics prevail We realize there is an enormous amount of skepticism out there on the validity of using medical marijuana, but the more research that is done, the more we have to respect the findings of the researchers. Most people don’t realize that what we call marijuana or Cannabis Sativa dates back 10,000 years and […]
The Bad The Good & The Ugly: The Bad news Russell Fulcher, the only true conservative candidate in the race for governor, has decided to discontinue his run. The Good news is that he has decided to run for Congressman for the first congressional district. The Ugly – We understand from reputable sources that our […]
(Click to play) Monday, I spoke with Raul Labrador on the Kevin Miller Show 580KIDO and asked him point blank why he didn’t endorse Russ Fulcher until the last week before the primary election in 2014. Unfortunately, I never got a straight answer even after telling him he did not give me an answer to […]
Idaho is a state of great beauty that has huge natural resources and plenty of clean air and water (except during our fire season.) What we don’t have is a way to help 20% of Idaho’s citizens get access to adequate healthcare services and incentives to keep themselves healthy once they are well. For those […]
Originally Broadcast on the Kevin Miller Show, 580KIDO on June 6, 2017 Just for everyone’s edification, the term “radical Islam” was coined back in 1979 by Senator Henry (Scoop) Jackson in reference to the rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran. Everyone wants the answer on how we can stop Islamic radicalism, but I’m not […]
Congressman Labrador said on a local radio show that he decided to run for governor because he wanted to, not because the political bosses asked him. He said he is in control, not the political bosses. That is a very interesting statement since we believe it was Congressman Labrador who was responsible for the citizens […]
Idaho’s problem with its healthcare system didn’t start with Obamacare; it started long before that. The insurance companies and medical groups — or as we call them, the medical mafia — have been sucking the life out of Idahoans for years, and no one has said much about it until the decision to institute a […]
How much money do you think it would take to be sure you won an election for Governor of Idaho — 3, 4, maybe 5 million dollars? I believe we are going to find out in the 2018 election as Tommy Ahlquist pulls out his rather large wallet and all the stops in his bid […]
It appears that Brad Little decided to try playing Governor by issuing an Executive order on March 19 designated the “Licensing Freedom Act”, which is supposed to be a review of State Licensing Requirements. Now does anyone really think that this order was issued while Little was acting Governor without the ok of Butch Otter? […]
Legalization of medical marijuana use has been fought by Big Pharma for years because it cuts into their profits. You only have to look at the campaign contributions to state and federal legislators to see how much influence they have in decisions made by government. Recent studies show that painkiller abuse particularly opioids overdoses are lower […]
Most Health Sharing Ministries have been around for a few decades and there are only six that we know of in the U.S. They must have existed and been in practice continually since December 31, 1999. The interesting attribute of these ministries is that they only seem to attract those people who are healthier than […]
The Editorial Board of the Gem State Patriot decided to do this poll for the 2018 gubernatorial race because of a poll published by the Idaho Freedom Foundation taken Feb. 6 – 8. While we have enormous respect for the Idaho Freedom Foundation, we felt their poll presented a slanted result because of the narrow […]
