Dear Friends: We at the Gem State Patriot are a not-for-profit service for the people of Idaho. We have been serving Idahoans for nine years and we seldom, if ever, ask for donations. Unfortunately, like so many other conservative organizations, we suffer from time to time from a lack of recognition of the services we […]
A conversation with Reverend Bill Roscoe & Tea Party Bob I spent an hour talking to the president of this mission who has dedicated 22 years of his life to bringing hope to those who are less fortunate. This rescue mission truly serves the Treasure Valley helping those who are addicted to drugs or alcohol […]
Design is destiny; the standards we set determine the quality of what we achieve. Our Constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government relies on free, fair, and honest elections to select our representatives and leaders. Federal elections are conducted by the states and each state has different election laws. In Idaho, you must show a government […]
Dear Friends, Today is Veterans Day and we recognize the brave men and women who have taken the oath and put on the uniform to serve our Republic in the armed forces – the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and our National Guard. Generations of our citizens have answered that […]
[BOISE] – Attorney General Raúl Labrador and a bipartisan coalition of 46 Attorneys General called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to improve their Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD) and close what has effectively been an unmonitored loophole that bad actors exploit to access the U.S. telephone network. “Idaho citizens are no strangers to the plague of fraudulent […]
[BOISE] – Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador filed a friend-of-the-court brief today with the U.S. Supreme Court, along with 17 other states, to protect students’ First Amendment free speech rights in the case of L.M. v. Town of Middleborough. A middle school student in Massachusetts wore a t-shirt to school that had the message, “There […]
Growing up I looked forward to receiving two magazines in the mail every month. Sports Illustrated (SI)—especially in January with the Swim Suit Issue, and Scientific American. I stopped subscribing to (SI) in 1992 because of the incredible slanted articles they wrote regarding issues that today would be considered “social justice” centric. The same thing […]
Today has been a great day. First Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are given portfolio and title to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. CNN certainly has a different take on what is about to happen than the new directors themselves: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/politics/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-department-of-government-efficiency-trump/index.html https://nypost.com/2023/11/13/news/vivek-ramaswamy-vows-to-fire-federal-workers-based-on-social-security-numbers-nothing-will-break Classical business governance dogma—I must admit that it has over the […]
We would like to thank Ron Nate for taking the time to give us his take on Idaho, its legislature, and the challenges ahead. Topics: The Idaho Freedom Index giving us an inside look at who are the rinos and squishy republicans in our house and senate and how they are graded on their legislative […]
A Mandate for Change: Trump winning this election will change the course of America back to its original premise of Freedom, Justice, and Prosperity for all. We have seen the enemy and it was us. Fortunately, Americans saw how they were being manipulated for the past 4 years under Biden/Harris and said very loud and […]
Traditional Main Stream Media has committed suicide, but the corpse will be with us for a while. We have elected the modern-day equivalent of Hitler, a fascist dictator who will end democracy, force women to have babies, has unlimited powers granted by the Supreme Court, will jail his political opponents, has called white supremacists “fine […]
Dear Friends, It’s been a busy week for us! Obviously, there were tremendous political victories at the state and federal levels that dramatically affect the people of Idaho. But our office also delivered legal victories in federal court on two important issues regarding illegal immigration and a federal minimum wage for contractors. Both resulted from […]
Dear Friends, Last week, I joined 26 other states in filing a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, urging it to allow Virginia to continue removing non-citizens from its voter rolls. The Biden-Harris Department of Justice sued Virginia to halt this process, insisting that non-citizens remain on the rolls through the upcoming presidential election. Unfortunately, […]
