Time for Rep. Kelley Packer to Pack her Baggage and Find a Real Job

Why is it that we have so few truly conservative candidates running for office in this reddest of the red states? When we look at the list for Lieutenant Governor, I have to cringe, bow my head, and pray that the bad ones don’t get elected. Let’s examine Representative Kelley Packer a three-term member of […]

History Needs to be Remembered

There is an old quote by George Santayana, and in its original form it read, ‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’ As we continue to tear down the monuments of our historical past and refuse to teach this history in our schools, our children will surely forget these terrible mistakes […]

Editorial Opinion on the Charlottesville Tragedy

If you’re looking for a cause to the Charlottesville tragedy, you don’t have to look any further than the liberal media. This hatred we saw yesterday has been fostered by the liberal media were the ones fostering this hatred we saw yesterday each and every day in their broadcasts and daily tabloids. This goes back […]

Setting an Example – Kevin Miller’s Quest: ‘Changing Your Lifestyle’

Kevin Miller is setting an example to anyone who has a weight problem or, as many might say, an addiction to food. I’m not sure if I was an inspiration to Kevin in this quest but maybe I played a small part in his decision to get back to his body building weight. We all know […]

Where the Rubber Meets the Road in Healthcare

The Senate will vote today on proceeding to decide if they will vote on repealing Obamacare or repealing and replacing Obamacare. Either way, they need to get off dead center as we have waited a long time to fix our health care system and get things back to some normalcy where it doesn’t cost more […]

Response to Rep. Brian Zollinger’s Comments on the Kevin Miller Show 580KIDO

Zollinger’s comments on the grocery tax and election were spot on. The real shame in Idaho politics was allowing Governor Otter to win a third term. He is and always will be a crony establishment politician. He takes care of the lobbyists and those that keep him and the rest of the establishment in office. […]

First You Say You Do and Then You Don’t

We were doing a little more homework on Mr. Ahlquist and read an article written by Kevin Richert in Idaho Education News. After reading the article and listening to a one-hour interview with Mr. Ahlquist, we once again need to question Mr. Ahlquist about his platform on Common Core.

Does Anyone Know the Real Cost of Health?

We’re spending a lot of time talking about the cost of healthcare these days, so I was a bit shocked yesterday when I received a bill for my wife’s emergency room treatment at St. Luke’s Hospital in Meridian back in November of 2016. This is where much of our problem lies—in the transparency of costs. […]

Will the Real Tommy Ahlquist Please Stand Up?

When we first received this letter in our inbox, my first reaction was shock and awe, but then I remembered it was sent out before Tommy Ahlquist had made up his mind which party to run for. The fact that Mr. Ahlquist had to decide which party to run for is in itself very disturbing […]

Doctor – Builder – Governor?

A New Direction for Idaho? Maybe. We had an opportunity this past Friday to meet with Tom Ahlquist’s campaign manager David Johnson to discuss some of his candidate’s positions. I have to admit I was impressed that he had any number of decent answers to our questions, although without much detail. The broad strokes looked […]

Down and Dirty Look at the Senate Healthcare Bill

Not Perfect but a Good Start What’s staying the same is the government-managed individual insurance market exchanges will continue, as will the subsidies for people based on income, age, and where they live. For another two years, Washington will continue to pay insurance companies to cover the out-of-pocket costs incurred by lower-income policyholders. Currently, individuals […]
