The Next Illegal Scam

This scheme is nothing more than an illegal way to deprive Americans from using both private and public land, and using their money to enrich the corporate world. As part of this administration’s agenda to implement the international 30×30 plan, that is, placing 30% of land into conservation by 2030, it only makes sense to […]

Rather than who’s right and who’s wrong, the crux of the discussions revolves around the origins of these two people. Both sides claim that the tiny piece of land is the land of their origin.

Are They Trying?

On September 28, 2023 the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 4665, The Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act. Both Rep.

Look Beyond

In the movie Hidden Figures, which was about three Black women in the early 1960’s who worked for the NASA space program, one is told by the head of the Space Task Force group to “look beyond” the math, and instead towards getting a man into space. She indeed does this in her work. It is […]

Idaho Republicans are Fighting for the Soul of our Nation

Crazy Times!

Knowing The Time We Are Living In Do you ever go to bed at night and think that the world is nuts? Do you ever wonder why this is happening? The Bible has hundreds of prophecies that foretell future events, and many people are opening up the Bible to get answers. Jesus fulfilled at least […]

Idaho Republicans Defend Truth Against the Tyranny of Lies

The great anti-communist Russian dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who warned the West about the communist Evil Empire, had a maxim: “Live not by lies.” Something so simple, yet so profound, is increasingly difficult in the current era. Consider some of the lies that have been passed off as truth by our national media — the Russian […]
