“War is hell,” as the saying goes. Every war comes with costs on and off the battlefield, especially wars fought when there is no intention of ever winning. President Lyndon Johnson’s “war on poverty” is such a war. It’s a welfare monstrosity with a 57-year history of collateral damage including families it was supposed to […]

A well-known line and popular meme from a popular movie read “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” In many ways, this line from the Princess Bride perfectly describes the politics of today. The popular words of liberal and conservative have taken on different meanings for […]
Proverbs 22:5 tells us: “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” I am sure we have all experienced times with certain of our children when they wanted to do things that were foolish. Things like running into the street or standing by […]

We Have 100 Years of Attacks to Undo The 1964 presidential election between Johnson and Goldwater was the first major election that I was all in on. As a college student that wasn’t yet 21, I couldn’t vote but with my “Goldwater ’64” bumper sticker on the back of my ’55 Chevy I became a […]
U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R- Idaho) has morphed into just another career politician and Washington insider. The reason he should not be re-elected this November includes his direct support of the new “green energy/infrastructure” bill railroaded through Congress by Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. This mislabeled bill is one example of Senator Crapo’s many failures […]

In coming e-mails, I will focus on my plan for Keeping Idaho IDAHO. If you haven’t read it yet, I always provide a link to it […]
Ammon Bundy mystifies many Idahoans. To them his opposition to authority is over the top. The media has presented him as a troublemaking, radical, gun-toting, militant, criminal, anti-government buffoon – or at best an ignorant cowboy. Whatever he is, he is tiring. One may ask: What could motivate a person to behave as he has? […]
