Dear Friends, This past Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would not hear a Utah public lands lawsuit filed in August of 2024 to move undesignated Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands to individual state control.

Let’s give the governor his due on […]
Dear Friends, 2024 was a great year for the Office of the Attorney General and I want to share some of the accomplishments we have delivered for the people of Idaho over the last year.

I have written several articles locally on school choice in North Idaho; The CDA Press had another column by the esteemed Jim Jones who, in his own mind, is an expert on everything. He is the same person four years ago said that Ivermectin was just “horse paste” in a column. Of course we know […]
I have been a big admirer of Peggy Noonan’s since the time she was writing speeches for Ronald Reagan.
