Congressman Simpson has been in Congress from Idaho for the past 24 years and that “magic R” after his name has kept in office along with campaign contributions from the corporate interests. He spent 14 years prior to this in the Idaho House of Representatives so for nearly 40 years he has been living at […]
As conflicts continue to pop up around the world, the United States has vowed to take sides with the oppressed victims of the aggressors. Promising “no boots on the ground”, many other types of assistance are given to these countries. Pretty much everyone has heard the old adage, “Those who cannot remember the past are […]
I want to bring your attention to another significant win as my office continues to defend Idaho’s new student bathroom privacy law. This case concerns Senate Bill 1100, a law enacted by the Legislature during the 2023 session to protect students’ privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms. More specifically, Senate Bill 1100 requires that every […]
Like you, we watched the events in Israel over the past week with sadness and horror. Such demonic barbarity is a reminder of the fallen nature of mankind and the absolute necessity of resolute strength in a dangerous world. Unfortunately, the last three years of national leadership has been the opposite of strength. The Biden […]
Several years ago, my father, my brother, and I were camped along a small stream in the middle of Utah, near the town of Moab. Not far from us another family was camped. The family was a mother, a father, and a pre-teen boy. One evening about dusk the boy must have done something dreadful […]
This scheme is nothing more than an illegal way to deprive Americans from using both private and public land, and using their money to enrich the corporate world. As part of this administration’s agenda to implement the international 30×30 plan, that is, placing 30% of land into conservation by 2030, it only makes sense to […]
Boise, ID – The United States District Court for the District of Idaho denied a motion for a preliminary injunction and upheld Idaho’s SB 1100 as lawful. On Thursday, Judge Nye of the US District Court denied the plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction that would have barred the implementation of Senate Bill 1100. Brought […]
I want to bring your attention to a recent victory we have had in the Attorney General’s office. This case concerns House Bills 124 and 340, laws enacted by the Legislature during the 2023 session to impose certain criteria for voting. Specifically, these laws do not recognize student IDs as valid voter identification. To fortify […]
We are hearing a revised history not based on fact. Anti-Semitic sentiment has infiltrated many American churches, both Mainline Protestant and Catholic, with leakage starting to seep into Evangelical churches too … allegedly as part of promoting “social justice,” “anti-racism,” and (lately) “decolonization.” That last one is just a fancy word for ethnic cleansing, aimed […]
The current conflict between Israel and Palestine (or Hamas) prompted several conversations I have had. Rather than who’s right and who’s wrong, the crux of the discussions revolves around the origins of these two people. Both sides claim that the tiny piece of land is the land of their origin. But, both claims cannot be […]
On September 28, 2023 the United States House of Representatives passed H.R. 4665, The Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act. Both Rep. Fulcher, and surprisingly Rep. Simpson, voted yea. It now heads to the Senate so there is no guarantee it will survive there. While the whole appropriations bill itself is […]
In the movie Hidden Figures, which was about three Black women in the early 1960’s who worked for the NASA space program, one is told by the head of the Space Task Force group to “look beyond” the math, and instead towards getting a man into space. She indeed does this in her work. It is […]
