This article is courtesy of the Idaho Freedom Foundation One of the favorite phrases of conservative budget hawks in the Idaho Legislature is “starve the beast.” What they mean is that if you want to control or even reverse outrageous government growth, then you need to stop appropriating (spending) so much money. Government agencies will […]
This article is courtesy of the Idaho Freedom Foundation Governor Little recently issued a press release claiming that since assuming office in 2019, his administration cut taxes paid by Idaho residents by $4.6 billion — cumulative through 2025. This figure includes income tax cuts, property tax reductions, one-time rebates, an increase to the grocery credit, […]
Another week, another set of untruthful statements from Reclaim Idaho and its allies about Proposition 1. In recent mailers and text messages, they claimed that Prop 1 will “restore Idaho’s voting traditions” — an outrageous lie. Prop 1 does not restore anything; rather, it creates a brand new system with a Top-Four Jungle Primary and […]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Russ Fulcher (ID-01), Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), and Congressman Dan Newhouse (WA-04) released the following statements after introducing the Securing America’s Midstream Critical Materials Processing Act, which will establish a National Roadmap to provide a pathway to reshore domestic critical material processing facilities away from foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist […]
On Tuesday I sent a letter to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), demanding their cooperation with an investigation into the advice they continue to offer doctors and patients across the country relating the dangers of puberty blocking hormones and transgender surgeries. Twenty other attorneys general joined me in this effort, as the AAP has […]
I am a big fan of J. D. Vance. I grew up in Central Ohio and went to college in Springfield Ohio 12 miles away from where much of J. D.’s bestselling book HILLBILLY ELEGY took place. The single biggest message to me from that book was that every person needs at least one person […]
I correspond regularly with about 30 doctors and nurses, most of them still in practice. Most live in Boise, but a few of them I spent time with on active duty in the Navy. The perspective that they have given me as they have looked into their own practices, their own concerns about the direction […]
Many wonder who is running the country as Biden slips into the world of senility. Actually, America is being run behind the scenes by groups of technocrats. Without any congressional authorization, these technocrats are taking actions in multiple government sectors, making policy through executive fiat, one of which is on natural resources. Although first announced […]
The first question that comes to mind when I listen to Kamala talk is are the American people that gullible? Well this question will be answered on November 5th as we go to the polls to elect our next president of the United States. Why have so many been sucked in by Kamala’s Hope and […]
It is a Darwinian fact that North Idaho College, or any organization which embraces Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI) is doomed. I will explain why. The advice I give when counseling students seeking a career path is to find something they enjoy and then get good at it. Success and competency go hand in hand […]
Celebrating the 237th Birthday of the World’s Oldest Constitution “Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, because if the American Constitution should fail, there will be […]
I’m incredibly disappointed by the recent vandalism of our signs opposing Proposition 1. Over a dozen signs in Meridian and Eagle were defaced, with some even marked with swastikas. These illegal actions don’t just violate the law — they undermine the democratic process, which relies on voters hearing from all sides before making informed decisions. […]
