Last year, Ammon was wrongfully convicted of trespassing at the Idaho […]
We are now nearing the fourth quarter in the run up to the Republican Primary Election in May. Much of the preparation that should have happened before Christmas is only now being done. Remember Sun TSU? “Most wars are won before a battle is fought”. If the three conservative candidates in the Governor’s race had […]
Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars during the 2020 election giving grants to County Clerks for PPE, education, and other unassuming items in every State of the Union. Over $500,000 came to Idaho, most to Ada County. Twenty Counties in total took the “free” money at that time of “need” during the COVID […]
I have been thinking lately about our age of conformity. Two episodes in my life seem to have influenced my thinking on this subject. I went to college in Ohio in the late 1960’s and early 70’s and one Saturday morning I watched a civil rights demonstration in the Hollow of Wittenberg University. Thousands of […]

Reprinted with permission of the Idaho Freedom Foundation One lesson from the so-called pandemic that should have been learned is that the government’s involvement in healthcare is not making things better for patients. As I’ve pointed out previously, mismanagement by Idaho’s hospital systems over many decades contributed to lack of staff and hospital beds. In […]
Operatives deep within Idaho are bringing division and hate to our communities. The Western States Center (WSC) is a left-wing extremist organization that wants to “create a world…free from bigotry and fear”. Eric K.

Several years ago, in one of my first articles in the Gem State Patriot, I told the story of my Quaker grandmother being “shunned” at her Sunday Swarthmore Meeting by members of her congregation because her son was a Navy Fighter Pilot in the Korean War. Since the beginning of our country, many but not […]
There is a difference between “self-interest” and “selfish interest”. The difference can be found in the word “selfness”. Today we are watching captains of industry, leaders in academia, our Ecclesiastical leaders in The Church(s), and special interest corporate lobbyists like IACI/IMA/IHA, and the CofC proceed in their own “selfish” interests.
