Week one began with the Legislative Session being officially opened and the Governor delivering his State of the State address to a joint session of the Idaho Legislature.

The last three years of a supposedly conservative, yet ineffective, Republican majority in Congress has made it abundantly evident that Congress will never rein in the power and scope of the federal government or end its wasteful spending.

Today is February 12, 2016 and it’s the day after another attack by those quintessential Americans that are woven into the very fabric of America and without whom, George Washington would only be known for growing hemp. You know the ones, those refugees from Muslim nations. Yeah, the ones President Obama said Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin […]
Agenda 21, Chapter 26 is titled “Recognizing And Strengthening The Role Of Indigenous People And Their Communities”. That was in 1992.

We would have to say thanks but no thanks to Representative Mike Moyle’s proposal to cut the top two individual income tax rates and cut the corporate rate from 7.4 to 7.3 percent. As far as the grocery tax goes why are we going to give the hard working citizens of Idaho a $10 dollar […]
Idaho Can Regain Sovereignty America’s greatness used to be really great and today, not so much. Actually we are almost already a second world nation in global competitiveness.
