Last Saturday, I announced that I’m running for Congress to replace Mike Simpson in the United States House of Representatives. For over 20 long years, Simpson has been in Washington where he’s voted for amnesty for illegals, massive spending increases, bigger government, and gun control. And now he’s joined radical environmentalists to destroy four dams […]
When news of COVID lockdown orders began to be reported back in early 2020, my immediate concern was not over the virus but the lawfulness of the orders. Yes, the virus matters and should be researched by doctors so they can advise their patients as to the best methods of prevention and/or treatment. However, without […]
“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.” -Deuteronomy 6:6-7 If nothing is more […]
Published with permission of the Idaho Freedom Foundation Actions of local school boards are currently at the forefront of many parents’ minds. Families and voters all over the country have been angered over school boards’ mask mandates, curricular choices, and unnecessary school closures. Ironically, voter turnout for school board elections is low. Parents who want […]
A trusted friend wrote that a friend of his, who is a contractor from Texas, is being sent to Idaho to build camps for immigrants. This news was upsetting to my friend, as that action, building camps for immigrants was being viewed as a step toward bringing unwanted change to Idaho. France His concern is […]
Of all the issues facing us as a nation president Biden has made fighting climate change number one; more important than fighting terrorism, national security, international relations or anything else. The theory is that because of man generated carbon dioxide the earth is warming and it will reach a “tipping point” and the earth will […]
Similar to Germans infiltrating American lines during WWII, private property owners are being targeted with renewed tactics to manipulate and bribe them into accepting and practicing conservation goals outlined in the current administration’s non-authorized 30×30 plan. In fact, behind the scenes groups have been working on this for some time. As a Republic, we have a […]
Maybe the best two years of my 14 years on active duty in the Navy I spent at Camp Lejeune with the Marines. My operational billet was with THE FLEET SERVICE SUPPORT GROUP. My medical unit was assigned to Marine Recon—the equivalent of the better-known Navy Seals. I only deployed twice with “recon” both times […]
There is a common thread that runs through the thinking of liberals when it comes to issues as disparate as sexual harassment and Covid vaccinations. Neither deductive nor inductive constructs in logic underpin their arguments. The ideas of “due process” and the “scientific method” require a discipline in thinking and subsequent actions based on those principles […]
I lived with my Quaker grandmother the first 5 years of my life. I am now 70 years old and that single blessing seems to me to be the most important element in the formation of my character, my thoughts and my beliefs. My younger brothers did not share that same experience and they look […]
Several years ago, at the request of my wife I participated in a career day at Chaparral Elementary School. Several events happened during that day that should have been a harbinger for things to come. I today look back on those events and smile and say—well of course. Kids always get it. Kids can understand […]
Did you ever wonder how we have gotten to the place we are in America? It seems that our country has been turned upside down. We are just about evenly divided when it comes to the political arena. I like to call this “American Drift” or the transition of our country to something that our […]
