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 […]
The left calls them the Dictator and the Hillbilly, but it doesn’t matter what they call them — they may have to live with both these gentlemen, who could run the table to run this country for the next 12 years! The Trump train is rolling and with JD Vance now on board as his […]
Dear Friends, There are critical moments and images in American history that we remember clearly. For many before us, it was the bombing of Pearl Harbor or the assassination of JFK in Dallas. For the next generation, it may have been the moon landing or the Challenger disaster that many of us watched in classrooms. […]
‘Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive’. Sir Walter Scott Biden’s now infamous performance in the presidential debate was devastating to the media narrative and a shock to those they had brainwashed. Biden supporters were confronted with the fact that their media outlets had been lying to them for […]
What a week! I’m writing to you from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where Idaho’s 32 delegates proudly cast their votes for the next President of the United States, Donald J. Trump! America is in a rough place right now. The American Dream seems further out of reach than ever before. Inflation has […]

Like many Republicans, I have been bathing in the afterglow of the Republican convention. “Kumbaya”. We should celebrate for a day or two and then get back to work. Where are the voices from two years ago from the corporate mercantilist wing of our party that preached from the pulpit of Tolerance—not acceptance? Mitt, Romney, […]
Since the assassination attempt on Mr. Trump last Saturday, I have had several conversations about the absolute lack of competency that we have witnessed over the past three and a half years in the Biden administration. When Kamala—aka, Ms. Willi Brown was given the title “Border Czar,” was it because she had ever been competent […]

While most Americans assumed that President Biden was running the country for the past 3 ½ years in actuality we had a core group of democratic bureaucrats making the important decisions. Even more scary is that Sleepy Joe hasn’t had a cabinet meeting since last October and even then it was scripted as the cabinet […]
Did you know that most laws passed by the Legislature took effect on July 1? Several key pieces of legislation, carried by our dedicated Republican lawmakers, are now in place, and I want to share a few of them with you. Remember when the Biden Administration called concerned parents “domestic terrorists” because they dared speak […]
Dear Friends, This past couple of weeks saw a whirlwind of activity in the Supreme Court on several issues where Idaho played both large and small roles in many of these landmark decisions.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Congressman Russ Fulcher introduced the Keep Every Extra Penny (KEEP) Act to address the ongoing labor shortage by eliminating income taxes on overtime pay. This legislation, which has never been attempted at the federal level, comes as inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s target rate for the 38th consecutive month. […]
