Have We Lost The Culture War? The Long March Won

In the last article that ran recently we went back in time to lay out the complete takeover of the critical institutions that establish truth and morality in our culture. That included education, main stream media, colleges, law, entertainment and popular culture. If you thought that was a stretch you only had to look at […]

Heart of Hope Health – Where the Heart Matters

There were meetings locally and throughout our state that were a direct result of the lockdowns and lack of caring for patients and families during the Covid spread. Relatives, pastors and priests could not see those who were sick and dying in the hospital. Churches and schools were prevented from opening and when they did […]

Truth to Power

Is Idaho still the “Gem” State? Do we as adventure lovers, farmers, hunters, ranchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and transplants really grasp the serious state of peril Idaho faces?

Republican Cancel Culture

Some small but powerful Republican groups across the state are demanding absolute loyalty to their choice of candidates for the upcoming Idaho primary.

Does Brad Little’s Tenure make him Non-Debatable?

Reprinted with permission of the Idaho Freedom Foundation There’s a certain amount of hubris that Gov. Brad Little’s campaign team had to muster up in order to issue the decree that the governor’s tenure is “non-debatable.” After all, that wasn’t some off-the-cuff remark that was released last week when Little bowed out of any debate […]

To Debate or Not to Debate

Reprinted with permission of the Idaho Freedom Foundation Republican lieutenant governor candidate Priscilla Giddings is 100% correct to not subject herself to a debate run by Idaho’s leftist news media. Her position is defensibly different from candidates who outright refuse to debate. It’s all about the venue and media bias. I’ve never understood why the […]

I’m Running for Senate in District 28

What has compromising given us? And – is it wise to keep giving up more and more of our freedoms? How far will we go before enough is enough, and we recognize that there are God given principles such as the Constitution – that we don’t compromise? Our country is in a mess and we […]

The Democratic Takeover Of Boise Continues

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. Upon taking office in 2019, I highlighted the increasingly radical bills being put forth by Democrats in Washington; but at that time we had a President who respected the Second Amendment rights of […]

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 […]
