In a previous article, the plan to rebuild Gaza was revealed. Those same players have now released an updated version and what they are doing should be understood as a warning to the world.

You know, people are always asking me how to tell a real Republican from a fake one, or how to identify a true conservative. Are there Democrats masquerading as Republicans? Libertarians? As chair of the party, I can’t unilaterally declare who is or isn’t a “real Republican”—that’s ultimately up to the voters—but I can tell […]
Every two years, the Idaho GOP grassroots come together in one of our state’s great cities to ratify a platform. That platform reflects the zeitgeist of the grassroots—a continuing commitment to defending faith, family, and freedom in a rapidly changing world.

Dear Friends, A few weeks ago, the 2026 legislative session wrapped up, and I want to share some of what my office accomplished alongside the Legislature. My role as Attorney General is not to make policy. That belongs to your elected representatives. But when legislators have questions about their legislation, how it might affect my […]
Many years ago, following the initiation of Agenda 21 in 1992, many warned of its various threats, one being that it promoted the concept of “stack & pack” housing.
