Legislators should not be taken in by professionally prepared hype based on ‘doctored’ information […]
An editorial in the Coeur d’Alene Press by professional engineer David E. Bruderly on Sunday (June 4) made some interesting points. He says that CO2 levels were about 320 ppmv when his grandparents were born, and they are on track to soon double (in the lifetime of his grandchildren). We usually think of soon as […]
Tea Party Bob was unable speak on the Kevin Miller Show 580KIDO this morning, but we felt this was such an important message on Immigration that it deserved comment. If you missed the Kevin Miller show this morning, you missed a good one as he had an honest talk with people who have had actual […]

You would lie about everything from illegal immigration to the dangers of Islamic Terrorism. Illegal immigration was up 57% in 2015 according to the (U.S. Census Bureau). Yet the […]
Every issue of Gem State Patriot News includes the phrase “Knowledge is Power as Silence is Consent”. When I read that phrase, I find myself nodding in agreement and at the same time feel my blood pressure rising. Why? It’s because finding information in order to be that knowledgeable and vocal citizen is extremely difficult. […]

This very large political action committee has been collecting signatures to “reform” Idaho’s Sunshine Law — the statute governing campaign finance.

As if we all don’t have enough problems with making ends meet now, our sex health insurers are telling the Director of Insurance that they need an average premium rate hike of 27% to fill the gap of their losses sustained last year.
