Shawn is trying to take back a bad decision made by her and the other RINOs in the legislature to put more tax burdens on the taxpayers who could least afford the gas tax hike and registration fee hikes passed last year. It’s time for the voters of Dist. 1 to retire Shawn Keough before […]
We would have to say thanks but no thanks to Representative Mike Moyle’s proposal to cut the top two individual income tax rates and cut the corporate rate from 7.4 to 7.3 percent. As far as the grocery tax goes why are we going to give the hard working citizens of Idaho a $10 dollar […]
The simple answer is yes we are a nation of laws, but the caveat is were those laws imposed on us by bought and paid for politicians without our consent. Many of our laws are now made and enforced by the bureaucracies like the EPA, the BLM who can have you arrested or fine you […]
Thank you Greg Ferch and Audrey Dutton for bringing this special privilege of non-disclosure by our major health insurance companies to the attention of the citizens of Idaho. I find it appalling that we allow this to take place as Idahoans insurance premiums continue to climb 20 to 40% a year and deductibles rise at […]
Why is it that government has to stick their nose into picking winners and losers by subsiding companies with our money when they have shown time and time again that they are unaccountable to the public for the money we give them?

Lots of talk from Governor Otter’s State of the State message about education and improving our technical and vocational education efforts, but no talk about how they are going to fund these programs.

According to the Idaho Freedom Foundation’s Freedom Index, we aren’t even close to being a red state. The […]
Has District One Gone Mad? Can someone please tell us what the heck is going on in the District 1 Bonner and Boundary Counties? Republicans won two seats for strong conservatives Sage Dixon and Heather Scott in the last election. The last piece of the puzzle to complete this transition is to dump Senator Shawn […]
This appears to be the Camel is sticking his nose under the government welfare tent to try to get Medicaid expansion into Idaho. We already depend on the Federal government for 36% of our state budget. This will just put us deeper in the Fed’s debt. Where does it stop? We have a Governor who […]
Why is it that Government says “NO” to perfectly good medicine? Because Big Pharma can’t patent it? Because Allopathic Doctors don’t understand it? Because there is no money to be made on it? Because Insurance doesn’t cover it? Because it does no harm, but the FDA won’t approve it to protect Big Pharma? The answer […]
This meeting was to allow the public to comment on what they would like to see in a new Superintendent We have received a fair amount of feedback from our readers on the new West Ada School Board and would like to thank you on behalf of our readers who live in the West Ada […]
We had an opportunity to meet with Congressman Labrador this past week and to hear his story on why the Freedom Caucus chose to elect Paul Ryan speaker of the House of Representatives. Many conservatives including ourselves were a bit upset with Ryan being seated but there is a bit more to the story as […]
