Idaho has its Own Swamp that Needs Draining

Even though the grocery tax is one of the most regressive taxes we impose on Idaho’s citizens, there is no appetite in our legislature’s hierarchy to grant any relief to those hurt most by this egregious tax. Mike Moyle has introduced a tax bill that would exempt the first $750 of income from exemption but […]

Who Are all These Idaho Legislators Calling for A Con-Con?

I’m writing this in reply to an article run in the Idaho Statesman on January 21, 2017. Marv Hagedorn hasn’t got a clue about the possible implications of a Constitutional Convention nor do any of the other legislators backing this idea. Mind you this is a man who wants to be Lt. Governor of our state […]

Will the Demise of Obamacare Solve our Healthcare Problems?

The simple answer to the question is “NO”. What it will do is hopefully is to give a reprieve to most people on the cost of their annual premiums but even that is somewhat sketchy since we don’t know what they will replace it with. The more serious problem to solve is how we will […]

The Truth about CBD Oil – Alternative Medicine Works!

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 and must follow AMA codes of conduct? 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 […]

More Tax Breaks for Corporations? When will it stop?

Once again we see government reaching into our pockets for tax dollars to secure more jobs from corporations that are not located in Idaho. Why is it that we allow these bureaucrats to spend our money on outside firms instead of giving tax breaks to in-state businesses and who are they hiring for these jobs? […]

Liberal Media is like a Malignant Cancer

The real loser in this presidential election wasn’t Hillary Clinton but the entire Western Mainstream media. Just in case anyone hasn’t noticed they aren’t letting up on their criticism of our president elect although I hear they took a good dressing down at Trumps meeting with them.

Trump is a Default Third Party Candidate

The promotion by Glenn Beck and others pushing Evan McMullin as an independent candidate is about as unrealistic as you can get. Beck is still upset with Trump for not acknowledging him and appearing on his program. When you look at things in perspective, isn’t Trump a default third party candidate? He is only recently […]

We had an opportunity to interview Senator Mike Crapo this week to find out the reason why he withdrew his support for Donald Trump and then reversed himself and said he would vote for Mr. Trump. Mike has been a supporter of conservative values for as long as we have known him and was even […]
