The agenda to eliminate fossil fuels will result in starvation as wind and solar are NOT 24/7 sources of electricity. Production agriculture and industry cannot exist without fossil fuels. […]
Design is destiny; the standards we set determine the quality of what we achieve. Our Constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government relies on free, fair, and honest elections to select our representatives and leaders. Federal elections are conducted by the states and each state has different election laws. In Idaho, you must show a government […]
Dear Friends, Today is Veterans Day and we recognize the brave men and women who have taken the oath and put on the uniform to serve our Republic in the armed forces – the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and our National Guard.

[BOISE] – Attorney General Raúl Labrador and a bipartisan coalition of 46 Attorneys General called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to improve their Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD) and close what has effectively been an unmonitored loophole that bad actors exploit to access the U.S. telephone network. “Idaho citizens are no strangers to the plague of fraudulent […]
