I have written several articles locally on school choice in North Idaho; The CDA Press had another column by the esteemed Jim Jones who, in his own mind, is an expert on everything. He is the same person four years ago said that Ivermectin was just “horse paste” in a column. Of course we know […]
America is a land of immigrants, which isn’t unique as this can be said about virtually every nation. Unless your ZIP Code is The Garden of Eden, we are all either immigrants or descended from immigrants. Beginning with the first humans, we have roamed the entire planet and now, facilitated by our technology, occupy every […]
The 2025 Winter Meeting of the Idaho Republican Party is just around the corner, taking place January 3rd and 4th at the Riverside Hotel in Boise. This event brings together members of the State Central Committee (SCC), including the County Chair, State Committeeman, State Committeewoman, State Youth Committeeman, the Executive Board, and Legislative District Chairs, […]
Much of what our government does is designed to hide the truth. The bureaucrats, lobbyists and lawyers that actually run the government act as if they don’t want you to see or know how they are performing, by design. I say “design” because if the true goal was transparency then we would see the system […]
This past weekend, the energy inside the Phoenix Convention Center was electrifying. I had the privilege of joining fellow Idahoans at Turning Point’s 2024 AmericaFest (AmFest), an incredible event that united over 20,000 patriots. Once again, it proved why it stands as the largest conservative movement in America. For young adults eager to engage in […]
Dear Friends, Christmas is almost upon us and our year is drawing to a close. We are now surrounded by the beautiful decorations of the yuletide season, along with the stress – the frantic shopping, the wrapping, the baking and cooking, the social gatherings, and all the exhausting obligations we place on ourselves. Most of […]
On Tuesday it was my great honor to participate in the Electoral College as one of Idaho’s four electors. Most people have heard about the Electoral College, with the path to 270, and have heard pundits praise and bemoan its existence. But how does it all work and how does someone become an elector? The […]
Dear Friends, I’m happy to share that earlier this month, in Texas Top Cop Shop v. Garland, a federal court in Texas issued a nationwide preliminary injunction against the Corporate Transparency Act, or CTA. Idaho joined an amicus brief with 21 other states defending the court’s decision. Ostensibly written to combat money laundering, the CTA […]
“Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far” Theodore Roosevelt We are witnessing in real time the “Trump Effect” where the implementation of Trump policies began the night of the election. It is almost as if Trump became the president on November 6th and Biden nearly evaporated from reality. Why? There are […]
“Identity Politics” is a blanket expression covering elements such as Social Justice, Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), Cultural Sensitivity, Implicit Bias, Critical Race Theory, Tokenism, Structural Inequality, etc. where the focus is to classify individuals into ever shrinking groups based on some attribute. The very nature of Identity Politics dooms it to ultimately fail. The […]
Understanding how the Electoral College impacts our elections is essential for every voter. The difference between the Electoral College and the popular vote has sparked debate for decades, particularly during elections where the two results differ. Such splits occurred in 2016, 2000, 1888, and 1876. These instances have fueled questions about fairness, representation, and the […]
Dear Friends, Last week, we won a significant victory in Idaho’s ongoing fight to protect Life. Idaho’s Abortion Trafficking law can now be enforced, which prohibits anyone from taking a minor child out-of-state for an abortion or giving them drugs for a chemical abortion without parental consent. This law was the first of its kind […]
