Is the State of Idaho being complacent, manipulated, or purposely implementing a plan to relinquish our State sovereignty? Idahoans are, and have always been, a different type of people. Rugged, self-sufficient, and independent, we love our beautiful state and believe it is the best place in the country to live. We believe in law and […]
“Bubbles we buy with a whole soul’s tasking” Speaker of The Idaho House of Representatives Scott Bedke and the majority leadership in the Idaho House offered an editorial in Idaho Politics Weekly entitled “Medicaid Expansion is throwing thousands off their insurance”.

It has been obvious to many that the lobbyists in the […]
In the first Reimagining the Rural West (RRW) article, the Western Governors Association (WGA) panel discussions were reviewed for what this “project” intended to execute on rural communities. The second WGA workshop was held on November 5 & 6 in Santa Fe. Nothing like getting luxury trips while discussing how to destroy our Republic. The […]
The words that seem to permeate the vocabulary of Lauren McLean are sustainability, social justice, environment, climate, anti-discrimination, conservation, diversity, and inclusion. My friends, these are the same words that are prominent in comments made by the more radical factions of the current democratic elected officials in congress. Some will say she could not be […]
There is no doubt, your freedom is under attack. What is your line in the sand? Do you have one? Can we draw a “line in the sand” when we may not even be sure where it should be? How many rights are we willing to lose, rather than stand up for truth? For example, […]
