A Moral Dilemma for Idaho

We have just been presented a case in point demonstrating the differences in the values between the elites in the ruling corporate classes in Idaho and the “We the People” everyday citizens.

Another Way

So much of history can be captured in a moment. It is unfortunate that so much today is taught with a political narrative in mind.

The Fix was in and Idaho Lost

What can We the People do about China?

Last July, I was privileged to attend the Idaho GOP Convention. While there, I met many good people. One, in particular, asked me about the Resolution that we would support Israel if it were attacked. My simple response was that the United States had an agreement with Israel, and we should honor it.
