BOISE — Attorney General Raúl Labrador filed a motion for summary judgment asking a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit challenging Idaho’s Defense of Life Act. The motion reveals that Dr. Stacy Seyb, the physician bringing the challenge, never understood Idaho’s law nor read the January 2023 Idaho Supreme Court decision clarifying the state’s abortion laws […]

I have to admit I’m of two minds on the federal government shutdown. On one hand, our government is too big, too pervasive, and too entwined in our daily lives. Our Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves if they knew that the federal government now employs millions of people and regulates nearly every […]
We are blessed in Idaho to have truly remarkable doctors, nurses, and technicians—the people who touch the hearts and souls of those entrusted to their care every day. They continue the long slog forward despite, all too often, being disrespected by those who sign their paychecks and by legislators who permit the continuing arbitrage in […]
Thank you, Charlie Kirk I have written many articles on the decline of Christianity and the consistent drop in church attendance since the 1960s, but today I get an opportunity to tell our readers that “Christ is Back”. The assassination of Charlie Kirk was both devastating and religiously enlightening to the youth of our nation. […]
This upcoming legislative session, we have a rare opportunity to protect Idaho families, children, and communities from the toxic sprays and chemicals that threaten our health, our water, and our way of life.

I walked into the “God Country” vigil for Charlie Kirk with hesitation. Events like this are not usually my style. I am more reserved, and there has always been a certain unease for me in large public gatherings where faith and politics intertwine. Inspired by Faith and Country: But being there changed me.

If you only watch the so-called mainstream media, you might not have heard that the Democratic candidate for Attorney General, Jay Jones, in Virginia sent text messages wishing death not only on his Republican opponent, Attorney General Jason Miyares, but also on Miyares’ wife and young children. Why haven’t you heard about this? Because the […]
F. A. Hayek once observed that while you can have capitalism without liberty, you cannot have liberty without capitalism. The moral foundations for both are remarkably similar: rule of law, enforceable contracts, the sanctity of private property, and the core virtues of justice, charity, prudence, and courage. For centuries, some have said that liberty and […]
Everyone seems to have their own definition of fascism, but trying to define fascism is like trying to nail jelly to a wall: Just like everyone has their own definition of Communism and Socialism, we appear to be in a name-calling contest in America, but no one has a clue as to what most of […]
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Boise is living proof. On the surface, Mayor Lauren McLean’s gestures look noble, promoting inclusion, accountability, and progress.
