Over the past month, I have had the distinct opportunity to visit the Treasure Valley Classical Academy which opened my eyes as to how we can restore our country. Upon entering this old rehabilitated school in Fruitland, Idaho, I was reminded of the grammar school I attended when I was a child. Upon entering I […]
I would like to give special thanks to some of the people who have been on my mind as of late. First and foremost, I want to thank our President for his climate change program and the huge increase it has caused in the price we pay for fuel for our homes and cars. I […]
Looks like the taxpayers of Idaho just got shortchanged again as the special legislative session yielded nothing but a resolution condemning President Biden’s vaccine mandates. IACI wins again as 30 bills were presented to the legislature in this special session and as usual, all these bills were either killed by committee chairman or killed in […]
Brad Little is not the Leader Idaho Needs Brad Jay Little was born and raised in Emmett, Idaho where he and his family still reside. He is a graduate of Emmett High School and the University of Idaho in Moscow where he earned a degree in agribusiness. His Grandfather was known as the “Idaho Sheep […]
Enter Butch Otter – A 12 Year Payback to his Faithful Before we start this history of Butch Otter it is necessary that you understand who IACI is as they have been the most influential force in Idaho’s political arena for decades giving them a say in every important policy decision made by our legislators. […]
Part 1 — in the Beginning For almost a decade, we at the Gem State Patriot have been trying to get Idahoans’ attention to the fact that too many of its government officials have been growing more corrupt every year they remain in office. The challenge has been to wake them up so that they […]
Did you ever wonder how we have gotten to the place we are in America? It seems that our country has been turned upside down. We are just about evenly divided when it comes to the political arena. I like to call this “American Drift” or the transition of our country to something that our […]
Well folks has everyone received their covid vaccine yet? What! You said no to the vaccination? Keep in mind that our Governor used to be in the Sheep business and it appears that he is trying to get back into it by trying to herd all Idahoans to get vaccinated. Let us make our point […]
Hundreds of millions of federal dollars have flowed into our two major hospitals yet they were unprepared for this crisis and have had to institute a “Crisis Standards of Care Emergency”. We know that these hospitals were letting nurses go during the past year and that there was a shortage so to make matters worse […]
(With special credit to Pastor Matt Henry) I was inspired by a sermon at church last week and it is very appropriate for what is happening in our world today. Psalm 146 is about putting our trust in the proper place and not in princes who in today’s world would be considered those who we […]
One has to wonder what is behind the government’s big push to get everyone vaccinated. We know that the vaccine is not effective in stopping the transmission of this virus and that the only people who are in real jeopardy are those over 70 with comorbid conditions. So why aren’t we protecting the most vulnerable […]
Why anyone was surprised at the speech given by Governor Little about the desperate problem we have with Covid cases is beyond me. This governor has to be one of our least logical elected officials who’s been thrust upon the people of Idaho after winning his primary by a plurality of just 37% of the […]
