Last Friday The CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics published its daily update on the current Covid-19 pandemic statistics. Much has been written and discussed in the media of the finding that 96% of Covid associated deaths were caused by underlying medical conditions. This fact in and of itself should be placed in proper context. […]
I see great disappointment with Governor Little and the recent actions he has taken to grab power in the face of an emergency. He has run roughshod over our legislature and eliminated any participation by the people in the governing of our state by not allowing our elected representatives to voice the people’s concern for […]
President Trump gave a message of hope at the RNC convention, a message that rings clear with the marvels of our country and the people who helped make it great throughout history. He spoke of a bright future for all its citizens filled with opportunity for anyone who is willing to grab for that brass […]
Idaho’s special legislative session produced a giant victory over interest groups. The interest groups desperately wanted businesses to enforce government mandates in exchange for the coveted prize of immunity from lawsuits. However, the lawsuit immunity bill that ultimately passed — on mostly party-line votes — instead says: No one may sue an establishment under the […]
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own […]
As the COVID pandemic and Governor Little’s overreaction have persisted for 5 months now, citizens are voicing a need for the legislature to be involved. They want to address Governor Little’s “emergency” orders. It finally appears the Governor is willing to involve the legislature in these crucial life-or-death and prosper-or-perish decisions. Not so fast! Instead, […]
Enough is enough already! I have heard it said by many in the news media and then repeated by family members mostly millennials, that we are in the midst of the greatest pandemic in our country’s history since The Spanish Flu”. Maybe in terms of absolute numbers, but not on a per capita bases. And […]
The overwhelming incontrovertible scientific evidence demonstrates that we should absolutely reopen our schools for pre-K to 12th grade and yet the Nation’s second largest teachers union The American Federation of Teachers is encouraging its membership to go on strike should schools reopen. Throughout the entire world and documented in the world’s medical, public health and […]
It looks like Chicken Little who is pretending to be Idaho’s governor is trying to figure out how he can clear himself and his administration of all liability for the blunders he has made during this emergency he has declared. He has finally realized what so many attorneys have been talking about for the past […]
Idahoans should promptly tell lawmakers and Gov. Brad Little to reject a civil liability proposal that is expected to become the centerpiece of a special legislative session planned for the week of Aug. 24. The proposal would basically allow the government to do whatever it wants in the event of a disaster or emergency declared […]
In a recent article in THE GEM STATE PATRIOT, the Rev. Phil DiGregorio presented an excellent discussion about “Natural Law” and its fundamental relationship to our founding principles. Early theological discussions about “Natural Law” can be found not only in the ancient Judeo Christian papyrus-for Christians most notably the New and Old Testaments, but concepts […]
A Cry for Sanity and a Call to Arms We live under various levels of martial law, on the account of a viral epidemic perceived, purported, and propagandised as a new ‘Great Plague’. Many of us now wear masks, and a fairly large number [certainly not a majority] wear eye protection and gloves as well. […]
