I had the opportunity last week to interview my former high school principal who is well over 90 years old. Truly a great man who had a significant impact on my life. His mind was keen as ever and as always, his wisdom was piercing and provocative. The article that I interviewed him for appeared […]
This week marks the beginning of March Madness 2022—The NCAA Division 3 Men’s basketball tournament. I was one of three boys and I raised three boys of my own. Sports were always a big part in the lives of both families. My father like myself saw sports as a “means to an end” and not […]
My wife and I have an ongoing debate about the best romantic movie ever made. She is torn between GONE WITH THE WIND, Dr. ZHIVAGO, and OR ABOUT 35 Hall Mark movies. For me, the best romantic movie is either TOP GUN or BULL DURHAM. Last night after watching the NCAA Wrestling tournament on ESPN […]
This is a complicated situation that needs to be defused. I stand 100% behind Diego and his family. The only people that know all the medical facts in this case are the doctors and they have not come forward with these facts when at the end of the day these will come out. I believe […]
There is so much to learn by listening. Everyday people have more common sense than most of our political leaders. Being nuanced regarding issues of public policy, taxes, health care, and corruption in government should never take the place for applying common sense. When I listened to Rush Limbaugh I listened because of his commonsense […]
I’m sure many of our readers are aware of the Baby Cyrus story which has been circulating on TV and in the press. This taking of baby Cyrus is pure and simple abuse of power by Dr. Aaron Dykstra of Functional Medicine of Idaho, Child Protective Services, and the Meridian Police Department. This child was […]
While on the campaign trail, I have been privileged to meet many Idahoans. Inevitably, the topics of education, Critical Race Theory, and gender identity come up. I have pledged to support a School Choice Program. I am opposed to CRT and similar ideologies. Interestingly, some continue to say that CRT and gender identity are not […]
Sex and love are complex issues that have been addressed Biblically since Adam and Eve. A legislator two days ago threatened to read “Biblical smut” on the floor of the Idaho House as he debated against what Betsy Hustle Russell (HR) called the “anti-trans bill”—though the words “anti-trans aren’t found in the bill. Nobody that […]
Children are extremely impressionable. They are easy to persuade. They lack an understanding of the moral predicates that should become the foundation for the philosophy that will determine how they make decisions as they move through life. Sexuality is a complex issue that requires an understanding of biology, genetics, psychology, and most importantly a spiritual […]
Rain! Rain all day and all night. And cloudy weather for weeks on end. When the sun does not shine there is no power from solar panels. And, often when it is quite cold there is little wind to run the wind turbines. I have often thought that within the present administration there surely must […]
Friends, WE JUST MADE IT OFFICIAL! I will make this announcement brief, but first I have a question for you. Remember when people had hope? Our economy soared to new heights, and our nation’s enemies respected and feared us thanks to bold conservative leadership during the Trump administration. We all remember the pre-Biden grocery prices and our leaders’ support for […]
