- Civil Forfeiture – Illegal Theft (7/12/2016) - Civil forfeiture is a process by which the government can take and sell your property without ever convicting, or even charging, you with a crime and that leads to one of the greatest threats to property rights in the nation today. Civil forfeiture is a legal bunch of fiction that tries inanimate objects for their involvement […]
- The Man – Making a Case for Better Police Pay (7/12/2016) - Most people take police for granted and give little thought to the fantastic ‘value’ they are for our taxpayer dollars. Because, inside that symbolic uniform is a multi-talented individual that must ‘perform’ daily to impeccable standards and unfortunately for a pittance compared to his worth. Incidentally, let me digress a moment. If a female officer […]
- ‘Trumpo Right Again’ Obama Chastises NATO to Pay Up (7/12/2016) - What is it about Trump that he always seems to hit the proverbial nail on the head? Our lame duck president took another trip to Europe for a visit with the NATO Alliance only to tell them what Donald Trump has been saying since April of this year. The President chided the many members of […]

- Justice Delayed on Lawsuit over Water Compact? (7/10/2016) - Below is a letter-to-editor that I wrote regarding a long-overdue court ruling on the legality of the Montana Legislature’s vote approving the CSKT Water Compact. The State legislature voted on April 11, 2005 by simple majority, instead of a State Constitutional requirement of a two-thirds majority vote. We’ve all been waiting a long time for […]
- Why Obama’s Two Terms of Hope and Change will end in more Racism (7/9/2016) - As our nation mourns the death of five Dallas Police Officers, many of us think back to 2008 when President Obama was elected on a slogan of “Hope and Change” when many of those who voted for him expected great things of the first black president. They thought this was a chance to bring the […]
- How can the West Ada School District make up its Budget Shortfall? (7/9/2016) - Part of the Answer lies in an open letter to the Board from Russ Joki The Gem State Patriot received this very interesting letter to the West Ada School District (WASD) Board of Trustees.

- Open Letter to Dick Armstrong Director of Idaho Health & Welfare (7/4/2016) - Mr. Armstrong, you are just another of the crony bureaucrats who want to expand big government and the budget of the Dept. of Health and Welfare. I have yet to hear you stand up and complain about the continuing accelerating cost of medical care or the huge escalations of premiums for health insurance. Instead you […]
- The Fix is in for Hillary (7/4/2016) - What is it about the Clintons that they are always one step ahead of the law? Does anyone really believe that Bill Clinton and his happenstance meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch in Phoenix was not meant to be publicized? Once again we see the genius of the Clinton strategy to deflect public attention from […]
- Attempts by Media to cover up Twin Falls Refugee Problems tells us ‘Journalism is Dead’ (7/4/2016) - The establishment media is bought and paid for by the corporate lobbyists and establishment politicians. Everybody should be irate at the local news media and how they handled this Refugee incident in Twin Falls, and what is more abominable is the reaction of the city officials. It was almost as if everyone wanted to cover […]
- Essential Tasks of Conservative Leaders (7/4/2016) - We are on the back side of our 7-part series and it is time to bring it home to those who lead in an area of our conservative movement.

- Media Muppets Fail to get Gun Facts Straight ‘Again’ (7/3/2016) - In a feeble attempt to be funny, the Mistakesman once again prints a Lewiston Tribune article on Idaho’s changing gun market Page 2C Opinion 7/2/2016. They attempted to berate the fact that our legislators finally listened to the people of Idaho and not the “Muppet Media” by passing legislation this year allowing permit-less carrying of […]
