For philosophers from antiquity through the Enlightenment and into our own unsettled age, “the people” has never meant a mere aggregation of individuals. It has meant something far richer: an organized community bound together by shared political and economic experiences, a common moral vocabulary, and a recognizable way of life. Without that shared core, there […]
America’s political divide is no longer merely about policy; it is about first principles. On one side stands a tradition rooted in ordered liberty, personal responsibility, and the dignity of productive labor. On the other, a growing movement—often identified with Democratic Socialism—that increasingly questions those very foundations. In its most strident expressions, this movement calls […]
How Secure Is Your Vote? Government security testers broke into election networks in hours, not months. The same declassified files that expose the weaknesses also spell out the repairs and there is still time to make them before November. A plain-language briefing built entirely from the records released by the White House Government Transparency Task […]
The abortion initiative headed for Idaho’s ballot leads this week’s episode. Per the announcement cited from Secretary of State Phil McGrain, the measure to re-legalize abortion has enough signatures and is expected to appear as Proposition 1. The episode frames the next 100 days as all hands on deck to defeat it, citing figures that […]
Our failed, teacher’s union-led, largely socialist “education system” has left Americans wholly ignorant of some simple truths of economics (no surprise there): Marxism actually comes in three flavors, all leading to tyranny, and suppressed liberty for non-elites. 1) Democratic Socialism is the “training” phase, like a “drug dealer” giving away “free samples,” knowing you will […]
Dear Friends, In the first six months of 2026, my Consumer Protection Division returned $956,000 to Idaho consumers, without a single lawsuit or court order. That pace puts this year on track to beat 2025, when the division recovered a record $1.1 million through the same voluntary process. Together, the last eighteen months have returned […]

I’m sure you’ve heard that the so-called “Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act” has qualified for the ballot. That means you, the voters of Idaho, will face a clear choice this November: bring abortion back to Idaho, or maintain our state’s status as a sanctuary for the unborn.

A free press that hides the truth from voters may still be constitutional—but it has betrayed the Madisonian ideal it was given to serve. The Fourth Estate once named something noble: the public press and journalists as a distinct power in society, standing alongside clergy, nobility, and commoners in early modern Europe. The press emerged […]
There is an old saying about the trials and tribulations the people of Israel faced during their forty years in the desert. On at least three occasions, they turned their backs on God and on their leader Moses, begging to return to Egypt and its grinding slavery and servitude. They preferred the familiarity of chains […]
“Wake Up, Idaho, You are Getting Screwed Big Time” Here is the fundamental truth that both Democrats and Republicans refuse to say out loud. The entire immigration debate is framed around “benefits vs. costs” but that framing hides who gets the benefits and who pays the costs. The data makes this crystal clear. The $500 […]
