As the Israeli and Ukraine wars rage on, and protests by a minority receive inflated media attention, there is a more ominous story brewing that is not in the media spotlight. BRICS is the acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South America. Goldman Sachs first used the term BRIC in its Global Economics Paper […]
KAMIAH, ID – At the conclusion of a crowded Congressional Town Hall in Kamiah, Idaho, Congressman Russ Fulcher reiterated his support for the approval of the Gas Transmission Northwest XPress Project (GTN Xpress) by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to benefit his constituents in Idaho.

Carbon dioxide has been called a poison, yet it is actually the sustainer of all life on Earth. Plants grow from the carbon in carbon dioxide in the air, and animals grow from the carbon in the plants they eat. So, carbon dioxide cannot be a poison. Turn on the television any day of the […]
After three weeks of deliberation, negotiation, and nominations, in which conservative and moderate candidates were elevated and then rejected, every House Republican voted to elect Mike Johnson of Louisiana as the 56th Speaker of the House on Wednesday afternoon.

I want to bring your attention to another significant win as my office continues to defend Idaho’s new student bathroom privacy law. This case concerns Senate Bill 1100, a law enacted by the Legislature during the 2023 session to protect students’ privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms. More specifically, Senate Bill 1100 requires that every […]
Like you, we watched the events in Israel over the past week with sadness and horror. Such demonic barbarity is a reminder of the fallen nature of mankind and the absolute necessity of resolute strength in a dangerous world. Unfortunately, the last three years of national leadership has been the opposite of strength. The Biden […]
Several years ago, my father, my brother, and I were camped along a small stream in the middle of Utah, near the town of Moab. Not far from us another family was camped. The family was a mother, a father, and a pre-teen boy. One evening about dusk the boy must have done something dreadful […]
