For the past four years several times a day I have prayed that we have another GREAT AWAKENING IN OUR COUNTRY. WE have had several such religious revivals. Faith, has always informed our political philosophy and politics in our country, starting with the words of our GREAT DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.—’WE are endowed by our Creator […]
Lynn and I are Westerners. Lynn was born in Caldwell, spent most of her childhood years in Havre Montana, and raised her family in Eagle Idaho. I was born in Minot North Dakota, followed our military family in several States and then I was raised through high school in Ohio. For the last 36 years […]
Any follower or disciple of the great philosopher and Apologetic L. Marvin Moorehead, who practiced his craft like a mid-20th century Socrates in classrooms and on football fields in Central Ohio, has forever “imprinted on their brains” the words “ALIBIS DESTROY CHARACTER”. 2000 years earlier the greatest of all teachers and The Son of God […]
I certainly hope and pray that this will not be the last election, but as we all know, the Lord works in mysterious ways. I must admit that our country is at a crossroads and it is certainly a time for prayer. Being a member of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, I recently received a letter […]
Idaho legislators are on the verge of becoming the highest-paid part-time lawmakers in the country. If the Compensation Committee approves the 43% pay increase and legislators do nothing to stop it, it will be clear that priorities in the Statehouse need realigning—toward the true needs of Idahoans, not higher pay for lawmakers. Leadership’s proposal (read […]
Over the last two decades, many so-called conservatives seem to have forgotten one of the most important, bedrock principles of conservatism — fiscal conservatism! Another forgotten principle is the one President Reagan famously espoused: “Government is the problem.” I cannot stress this point strongly enough. More government is never the solution to whatever problem you […]
November 5th as Liberation Day? I like it. The Left going mad? Absolutely. Harris a pathological liar? Obviously. Her campaign a dumpster fire about to be extinguished? I fervently hope so. I hope that 11-6-24 dawns as gloriously as 11-6-16 did. I remember that day well. Trump had been given pretty much a zero chance […]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Congressman Russ Fulcher led a letter to U.S. Forest Service (USFS) Chief Randy Moore, alongside U.S. Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, demanding the federal agency take prompt and decisive action to address forest management and post-fire recovery in Valley County, Idaho. The letter comes after recent and ongoing wildfires […]

This may be my last post at the Gem State Patriot before the November Presidential Election. I have attempted to present reasons for voting for President Trump based on political philosophy and Biblical and Natural Law Principles, but today I want to present a very practical and very real reason for supporting DJT—MILITARY READINESS is […]
I am writing this post on the morning after the Donald Trump/Tucker Carlson town hall meeting in Arizona four days before the presidential election. The presentation by the speakers was exquisite. For me, the best speaker was RFK Jr. He has an obvious speech impediment and speaks with a graveling forced expiratory effort, but his […]
In Idaho, the best time to select conservative candidates is typically the Primary Election, where voters often have a choice between an establishment RINO and a true conservative. Once we get to the General Election, the choice (when there is one) is usually between a Republican and a Democrat, and voting for Democrats is simply […]
