The first week of confirmation hearings opened with significant moments for Idahoans and conservatives across the nation. On Tuesday, Pete Hegseth, nominee for Secretary of Defense, took center stage, delivering a powerful and captivating opening statement that underscored his commitment to restoring America’s warrior ethos. Hegseth’s poised and resolute demeanor was evident as he addressed […]
Dear Friends, This past Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would not hear a Utah public lands lawsuit filed in August of 2024 to move undesignated Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands to individual state control. This decision was made without consideration of the constitutional merits of the case. I filed an amicus brief […]

Sadly, We Told You So
This article is compliments of the Idaho Freedom Foundation Monday, we gave a rundown of what Gov. Brad Little should say and what he likely would say in his annual State of the State address for Idaho. Unfortunately, we got very little of what he “should say,” and we were mostly correct on what he […]
This article is compliments of the Idaho Freedom Foundation “Idaho was DOGE before DOGE was cool.” That was Gov. Little yesterday in his State of the State address, and subsequent press conference, invoking the now “infamous” DOGE, the Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy led Department of Government Efficiency.

School Choice
I have written several articles locally on school choice in North Idaho; The CDA Press had another column by the esteemed Jim Jones who, in his own mind, is an expert on everything. He is the same person four years ago said that Ivermectin was just “horse paste” in a column. Of course we know […]
Immigration Sanity
America is a land of immigrants, which isn’t unique as this can be said about virtually every nation. Unless your ZIP Code is The Garden of Eden, we are all either immigrants or descended from immigrants. Beginning with the first humans, we have roamed the entire planet and now, facilitated by our technology, occupy every […]

This event brings together members of the State Central Committee (SCC), including the County Chair, State Committeeman, State Committeewoman, State Youth Committeeman, the Executive Board, and Legislative District Chairs, […]
Government Opacity
Much of what our government does is designed to hide the truth. The bureaucrats, lobbyists and lawyers that actually run the government act as if they don’t want you to see or know how they are performing, by design. I say “design” because if the true goal was transparency then we would see the system […]
This past weekend, the energy inside the Phoenix Convention Center was electrifying. I had the privilege of joining fellow Idahoans at Turning Point’s 2024 AmericaFest (AmFest), an incredible event that united over 20,000 patriots. Once again, it proved why it stands as the largest conservative movement in America. For young adults eager to engage in […]
