The Earth Brokers: Power, Politics and World Development is a book co-authored by Pratap Chatterjee and Matthias Finger, and written in 1994 just after the Rio Summit was held in 1992. It was the “first critical analysis of the Earth Summit and its mission document Agenda 21“. Unfortunately, most countries did not heed the warnings from […]
This summer, Idaho has once again been reminded of the awesome power of wildfire. From the devastating Big Grass Fire in Owyhee County to the fires that have scarred central Idaho in recent years, we have watched homes destroyed, livestock lost, wildlife displaced, and entire communities threatened. Families who have worked the land for generations […]
Dear Friends, Last week I toured the newly completed execution chamber at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution (IMSI) in Kuna. I want to thank IDOC Director Bree Derrick and Division of Prisons Chief Liz Neville for taking the time to walk my team and me through the new facility and answer our questions. What struck […]
My federal lands management survey is now open, and I want to hear directly from Idahoans. Approximately 62 percent of the land within Idaho’s borders is owned and managed by the federal government, and from 2020 to 2025, nearly 2.7 million of those acres experienced some sort of closure to the public. This extensive federal […]
The topic of eliminating Property Tax has been brought up. More than one elected official that I respect has raised it. Personally, I like the idea. I like it from the Constitutional and Liberty point of view. The argument is simple and powerful: if our real property can be taxed, then we, the citizens, do […]
Dear Friends, Last August, an illegal immigrant named Harjinder Singh, licensed to drive by both Washington and California, attempted an illegal U-turn across the Florida Turnpike in an eighteen-wheeler. He could not read or understand the road signs warning him against it and it led to the death of three people. Idaho did not issue […]
This November, Idahoans have a choice to make: keep the Gem State a sanctuary for all life, including preborn babies, or adopt a radical abortion regime even darker than the days of Roe v. Wade. With less than two months until absentee ballots arrive in mailboxes, we have no time to lose when it comes […]
Our failed, teacher’s union-led, largely socialist “education system” has left Americans wholly ignorant of some simple truths of economics (no surprise there): Marxism actually comes in three flavors, all leading to tyranny, and suppressed liberty for non-elites. 1) Democratic Socialism is the “training” phase, like a “drug dealer” giving away “free samples,” knowing you will […]
Dear Friends, In the first six months of 2026, my Consumer Protection Division returned $956,000 to Idaho consumers, without a single lawsuit or court order. That pace puts this year on track to beat 2025, when the division recovered a record $1.1 million through the same voluntary process. Together, the last eighteen months have returned […]
BOISE, ID — Attorney General Raúl Labrador released a warning today about rental and property scams, along with tips at spotting this type of fraud frequently occurring in high-growth areas where there is fierce competition for available housing and high prices. Potential renters may overlook the signs of a scam in the hopes of securing a […]
I’m sure you’ve heard that the so-called “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” has qualified for the ballot. That means you, the voters of Idaho, will face a clear choice this November: bring abortion back to Idaho, or maintain our state’s status as a sanctuary for the unborn. Supporters of the initiative, now called Proposition 1, […]
