In a previous article the relationship between the Western States Center (WSC) and Jim Jones, founder of the Take Bake Idaho (TBI) group, was exposed.

Stand for Your Freedom
Immediately after taking over the House in 2018, Democrats felt emboldened to enact strict regulations and steep fines on law-abiding gun owners.

My Safer Household
This election this year is one of the most important elections we have ever had in this country. It is on par with the Declaration of Independence. It is my conviction that this is the year for us to declare our Declaration of Independence. It is not a time for deciding who holds what office […]

We feel a loss of freedom, while the federal government is growing more and more socialistic. In exasperation, many have suggested the need to call […]
In 1983, Idaho was one of 27 states that petitioned Congress to call an Article V Constitutional Convention (con-con) to add a Balanced Budget Amendment. 34 States needed to make that Call before Congress acts.

State of Idaho v. Ammon Bundy
