“Success” or “Failure” It’s up to You

If you’re not part of the Solution, you’re part of the Problem Where do you think America is today? I ask that question because I’m not sure most Americans have an answer.

No Pain, No Gain

I have been listening to the latest comments on the Trump tariffs and the continued DOGE purge of corruption in Washington’s multilayered bureaucracy.

“Kill Bill”

No, Kill Bill is not about the movie but about how our legislature is hamstrung by a group of committee chairmen who hijack good bills and make sure they are never voted on. This is nothing more than a legislative veto and should no longer be tolerated. This is not a one-off but a consistent […]

Is Idaho and our Country Heading in the Right Direction?

There was lots of cheering this week as Governor Little signed a very minimal School Choice Bill. Let’s face it folks, the only reason he signed this bill is because Trump gave him kudos for our legislature getting this bill passed.

Trump Flexes His Political Muscles

As President Trump gets his team approved by the Senate, some Democratic members have been vocal, often turning questions into monologues. Democrats seem more concerned about potential retribution from Trump’s picks than their qualifications.
