Urban renewal is typically portrayed in a positive manner. After all, who doesn’t want to eliminate run-down areas of our municipalities? Even though urban renewal sounds like a great idea, it requires much more scrutiny than it has been given by the citizens of Canyon County. Urban renewal first became a reality in Idaho in […]
Last week, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) reminded Congress that in matters of war, they have the authority and the responsibility to speak for the American people. Most Senators were not too happy about the reminder, which came in the form of a forced vote on whether to allow a vote on his amendment to repeal […]
All apologies to the hard-working street-walkers and penthouse prostitutes who, unlike the modern-media harlots and rent-boys, have no illusions and offer no excuses about what they do and why. For well over 75 years, Americans have naively trusted that the people who bring them the news every night—and today, 24/7—are highly informed, deeply sincere, remarkably […]
We recently published a story on Gem State Patriot News panning Betsy Russell’s article in the Spokesman Review regarding a link to a story on White Nationalism which Rep. Heather Scott shared on Facebook. We wanted to bring our readers’ attention to another story printed in the Bonner County Daily Bee which tells the true […]
Idaho Democrats and media folks will be making much this week of Cecil Andrus, the recently deceased former governor of Idaho. And, honestly, there is much about Andrus’ career which is very noteworthy. There is no doubt, for instance, that he is one of the state’s most effective politicians. With his time as Interior Secretary […]
Gary Raney said he is bothered by the Joe Arpaio pardon on “…the law enforcement front, the constitutional law front, and the presidential pardon authority front.” Okay… Raney is far from a constitutional scholar. We know that because as Ada County Sheriff he is on record answering the hypothetical question about standing in the way […]
I am an S.O.B. (son of a butcher). I see every issue through the eyes of my beloved butcher father David Root. That’s how I knew Donald Trump would win the election when few others did. It’s because I clearly see the attack on middle-class America. I see the dramatic decline of middle-class America. I understand […]
Many of President Trump’s conversations with world leaders have been leaked. Just days ago, we saw an exact transcript of his conversation with the president of Mexico. This is something that has never happened in America’s history. Did you even know anyone listened in and recorded the private conversations of the President of the United […]
Perhaps it’s time the “loser snowflakes” of the world started recognizing the real source of their problems. Stephen Hartgen is a Republican Idaho State Representative from Twin Falls. This means he spends 3-4 months every year in session in Boise, Idaho, voting on laws and budgets. He also serves as the Chairman of the Commerce & […]
I recently read Fearless: The Undaunted Courage and Ultimate Sacrifice of Navy SEAL Team SIX Operator Adam Brown. It is a story of overcoming failure. A story filled with sadness and triumphs. A testament to the strength of God’s saving power and the plans He has for us when we open our hearts to His […]
The history of mankind has been a spiritual & physical war between the forces of good (individual freedom) versus evil (mankind enslaved). The Declaration of Independence brought a unique beginning to America which states that Man’s rights come from a Divine Creator and that government was to serve man not enslave him. The Constitution limits government, […]
THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN: ECCLESIASTES 1:9 While the above phrase was written over 2,000 years ago, the author of Ecclesiastes composed one of the most profound truisms in history. There really is nothing new under the sun when it comes to human beings and that predictability has often been used by unscrupulous […]
