Roe v Wade – Good v Evil

We are in a great cultural war. The battle between good and evil has been part of the human experience since Adam and Eve. As Christians we are called on to love God, love each other and reject sin and evil “in all its forms”. As we reject the many evils that confront us, we […]

Great Politics, Poor Government

In 1964 Dobie Grey came out with his hit song called I’M IN WITH THE IN CROWD. The opening line goes: “I’m in with the in crowd, I know what the in crowd knows.” I know who is in the “In crowd” in the Idaho Republican Party. The heart and soul of our party is […]

Fear and The Hole in Our Hearts

I love the picture painted by Blaisé Pascal of THE HOLE IN OUR HEARTS. A great scientist, theologian, and philosopher this word picture helps explain the need of man for God. “What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in man a true happiness, of which all that now […]

A Positive Challenge to Christians

How are we to be salt and light? Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify […]

Follow The Science!

Governor Brad Little Hasn’t Changed J.D. Rucker summarized the news this last week that “following the recommendations of a Big-Pharma-controlled panel of “doctors” who unanimously voted to approve jabbing young children with the unsafe and completely ineffective Covid-19 “vaccines”, the FDA has approved the shots for any American over 6-months old.” Governor Little who has […]

Insurrection or Deception to stop Trump’s Reelection

When the Democrats woke up the day after the 2016 presidential election and realized that Donald Trump was the next president of the United States they were not only in shock but fearful that he would expose their terrible corruption in Washington. Trump was the first president that the Washington establishment was afraid of because […]

An Open Letter to My U.S. Senator Re Abortion, Rights, and Our Own Bodies

Dear Senator Murray: In a recent email to your constituents addressing what you call the “right to abortion,” you ask, “do you support a woman’s right to make her own decisions about her own body?” I regret that I cannot answer that question with the simple “yes” or “no” requested as the way it is […]

Rent Seeking just another form of Corruption

I have received many e-mails and read the posts on articles I have written regarding my charges of corruption in Idaho Politics. Corruption doesn’t have to be illegal, but the longer it is allowed to occur, the less transparency there is in government, and the more likely it is to become illegal. Conservatives need to […]

Faith and Families

My wife is a great debater. She was on several debate teams in high school, and I have been told she was formidable then, and I can attest to the fact that she is formidable in debate today. She always seems to have the facts in hand. She never asserts more than she can prove. […]

It’s Your Choice Faith, Family & Freedom or Benevolent Corruption

Mr. Bundy has an almost impossible task before him in trying to become Governor. He cannot pull off this campaign by himself. The media will continue to create a narrative about who he is and what he stands for that will have to be addressed throughout the campaign. Until I got to meet and talk […]

Vainglory

I learned a new word today. VAINGLORY. It was used by Karl Rove in describing Beto O’Rourke’s opportunistic use of the Uvalde shootings to further his own campaign for Governor of Texas. Here is one definition: “Extravagant pride or boastfulness; tendency to exalt oneself or one’s own performances unduly; inflated and pretentious vanity; vain pomp […]

Guns are not the Problem

Every time we have one of these shootings everyone points their finger at the gun and not the person who pulled the trigger. We don’t have a gun problem we have a people problem and no one wants to admit that we have failed at helping those who have mental instabilities. I would be happy […]
