America is in crisis. Our borders are open to human traffickers, drug smugglers, violent criminals, and terrorists. Thanks to “Bidenomics,” the American dream is out of reach for millions while the far-left tries to enact draconian gun control laws and a federal takeover of elections. Folks, we’re at a crossroads. The battle to save the […]
Since there are multiple fronts of attacks occurring that are leading us to destruction, none any more or less important than another, it is easier to provide a quick snapshot of issues of which to be aware. Censorship will advance even further as the World Economic Forum (WEF) has declared disinformation at the top of […]
It is sometimes easy to write about all the issues elected officials get wrong by not stopping the tremendous damage being done to our state, and country. However, this time a tremendous thanks is owed to Attorney General Raul Labrador for joining twenty four state attorney generals and objecting to a Securities and Exchange Commission proposed […]
It is a big lie that socialist George Soros and liberals oppose a Convention of States call from Idaho. If you believe that, then I have some beachfront property to sell you at Filer, which is west of Twin Falls along Highway 30. Soros and leftists would love to get their hands on our US […]
Dear Friends, This week, another issue with Idaho roots was added to the docket of the Supreme Court of the United States. SCOTUS will be hearing the case of City of Grants Pass v. Gloria Johnson, which deals with local government’s ability to regulate public spaces relating to homeless camping. I led a coalition of […]
(BOISE) – The Idaho Office of Attorney General announces the appointment of Alan Hurst as the Solicitor General effective January 22, 2023. The reinstatement of the Solicitor General position by Attorney General Raúl Labrador has led to an active defense of consequential challenges to Idaho law. The Office of Solicitor General serves as the State’s […]
“I’m a lifetime Republican and I’m really worried I won’t be able to participate in the Presidential Caucus” said Jim, an 89-year-old combat veteran during a call with Idaho GOP Chairman Dorothy Moon. Jim called the state party headquarters after reading Sandy Patano’s “Opinion: Idaho GOP’s Presidential Caucus confusion,” an Op-ed full of misleading information, […]
During the COVID years, the State of Idaho accepted $22.9 billion of federal money, including billions of dollars of Federal American Rescue Plan money. The legislature outright admitted in the bill that “ARPA funds are borrowed from our grandchildren.” Idaho is now channeling these funds into substantial new government programs while offering very little tax […]
Like many of you, I watched Governor Brad Little’s State of the State address this afternoon hoping to hear him promote smaller government and fiscal responsibility, values that conservative Republicans hold dear. I regret to say that I was left mostly disappointed. Governor Little began his speech with how Idaho has become one of the […]
The Idaho Republican Party held its 2024 Winter Meeting last weekend at Harvest Church in Meridian. I am proud to say it was one of the best run meetings I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending. The Rules and Resolutions Committees worked hard into Friday night, and their work paid off when the State Central […]
In 2021, concern was raised about the Idaho K-12 Civics and U.S. History standards, adopted in 2016. “Lack of specificity is both cause and consequence of a more general lack of rigor” (whatever that means). However, “Enormously broad injunctions and thin, disjointed, thematically scattered content” does describe one defect of these standards. In December, 2023, […]
Dear Friends, I want to share some great news. Last Friday, I was informed the Supreme Court accepted our emergency application and stayed the erroneous ruling from the Ninth Circuit on Idaho’s criminal abortion law in Idaho v. United States of America. In addition, SCOTUS is also granting an uncommon writ of certiorari, taking the […]
