We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Michael Snyder, a candidate for Idaho’s first congressional district seat. Michael is 47 years old, married with one child, and a former resident of Washington D.C. who now resides in Bonners Ferry. He has a Bachelor of Science degree and a Law degree from the University of Florida […]
A couple of quick political comments on Luke Malek and Governor Otter. Malek’s entry into Idaho’s first district congressional race is nothing more than a way to dilute and redistribute the vote by the crony establishment in an attempt to keep Russ Fulcher from winning. It’s no different than the payback comment that Otter threw […]
Losing our Freedom of Speech A few days ago, the Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF) was forced to change the venue for their dinner because of threats or pressure from the left to the Riverside Hotel management, presumably about their guest speaker Charles Murray. Governor Otter keeps telling us that we are the reddest of the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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. In June, the Associated Press’ Kimberlee […]
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. […]
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 […]
