Amid many pressing events—the Charlie Kirk shooting, the passing of President Russel M. Nelson, and the tragedy in Michigan—the ongoing government shutdown hasn’t received the attention and explanation it deserves. I want to clarify what’s really happening with the shutdown, the Big Beautiful Bill, and how appropriation works. What’s Causing the Shutdown? The federal government […]
Dear Friends, After five years of litigation, Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act has finally reached the United States Supreme Court. Now, at this crucial moment, the ACLU is trying to dismiss the case entirely, not because the issue has been resolved, but because they understand the strength of our arguments. Last week, my office […]
A friend once opined that to him, the meaning of life is having the right tool for the job and happiness is achieved when you do the things you love to do. Combine those two axioms and you have the recipe for success. With the approaching election, you will be deciding who you think will […]
Do you remember where you were when President Trump declared “15 Days to Slow the Spread”? Do you remember what you were doing when Governor Little issued his “Stay at Home Order”?

The KCRCC stands as a cornerstone of grassroots conservatism in North Idaho. It comprises 73 elected precinct committeemen, representing every precinct in Kootenai County, from rural […]
I still can’t believe Charlie Kirk is gone. Even after that incredible memorial service and tribute to his life and work last Sunday, I keep thinking I’m going to wake up and find everything back to normal. But no. This is our world now, and we have to live in it. I don’t want to […]
You can’t cure diarrhea by treating the plumbing in the bathroom. If you want to truly fix something you must first understand the problem and then fix it at the source. The political assassination of Charlie Kirk has been seismic. So many, me included, are profoundly and deeply saddened by our loss, and especially for […]
What is below was inspired by Bishop Barrons reflection on the Sep 17th Gospel and the book I have been reading by SR. Angela De Fatima Coelho INSIDE the LIGHT. Let me start with Bishop Barrons reflection. “In today’s Gospel Jesus observes that the people of this generation criticize Him as a friend of tax […]
This article was republished with permission from the Idaho Freedom Foundation Well, isn’t that generous? The Group Insurance Advisory Committee (GIAC), under the Office of Group Insurance (OGI) within the Department of Administration — ever the example of fiscal responsibility — unilaterally decided to extend the GLP-1 weight-loss drugs to the employee health benefits plan […]
