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. This is what our republican system of government is supposed to look like. The American people […]
It may be confusing to understand how a U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) proposal in Montana, the Missouri Headwaters Conservation Area (MHCA), has anything to do with Idaho. Rule one, understand that federal agencies share the same ideological bed with non-governmental organizations (NGO). Rule two, they all share the same objectives and mission. And […]
Four weeks ago, my office led a coalition of 20 states in filing an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court urging the Court to grant a writ of certiorari to review the Ninth Circuit’s widely criticized decision in Johnson v. City of Grants Pass. The decision controversially asserted that the Constitution allows individuals to […]
It’s election season yet again. Early voting starts on October 23rd, leading up to Election Day on November 7th. There are many important races on the ballot this year, so make a plan to go vote! Races for mayor, city council, school board, and other municipal offices are technically nonpartisan, so you won’t see party […]
Congressman Simpson has been in Congress from Idaho for the past 24 years and that “magic R” after his name has kept in office along with campaign contributions from the corporate interests. He spent 14 years prior to this in the Idaho House of Representatives so for nearly 40 years he has been living at […]
As conflicts continue to pop up around the world, the United States has vowed to take sides with the oppressed victims of the aggressors. Promising “no boots on the ground”, many other types of assistance are given to these countries. Pretty much everyone has heard the old adage, “Those who cannot remember the past are […]
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 […]
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 […]
Boise, ID – The United States District Court for the District of Idaho denied a motion for a preliminary injunction and upheld Idaho’s SB 1100 as lawful. On Thursday, Judge Nye of the US District Court denied the plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction that would have barred the implementation of Senate Bill 1100. Brought […]
I want to bring your attention to a recent victory we have had in the Attorney General’s office. This case concerns House Bills 124 and 340, laws enacted by the Legislature during the 2023 session to impose certain criteria for voting. Specifically, these laws do not recognize student IDs as valid voter identification. To fortify […]
