I read with interest a news headline on April 15, 2016 stating: “Idaho unemployment rate falls to 3.8 percent.” Sounds good, right? Well, whatever database this information comes from is at best, misleading. Here is the truth as validated by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare: As of 2014, 20.2% of Idahoans are on […]
There are three main issues that affect most of us in rural District 8. District 8 includes Gem, Valley, Boise, Custer and Lemhi Counties. It is because of these issues that I find myself running for Legislative District 8B Representative. There is no place like home but our homes, livelihoods and ways of life are […]
NATO is vital to peace and prosperity in the U.S. and Europe. It safeguards the largest trading relationship in the world, ensures prosperity for Americans and Europeans alike, and deters and contains conflicts. This is something Donald Trump and Barack Obama should consider before engaging in isolationist and dismissive rhetoric about the Alliance. Such talk […]
Like most Americans, before finally engaging, I sat on the couch and raged at the television. Then I got the call to become active, and worked to get elected. I was sent to Boise for a particular purpose. First and foremost was to empower Idaho and to wrestle away from federal intrusion the rights originally […]
I’m that rarest of Republican—conservative. Like Donald Trump I’ve spent my life in the television, marketing and branding world. I understand how to message. And how to turn lemons to lemonade. The Democrats have handed Donald Trump the perfect TV ad to win the 2016 Presidential election. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe just gave voting rights […]
As I predicted we would start getting a bit more focus as we have even limited success in pushing a conservative libertarian message. In the posts Another progressive attacks the success of the American Redoubt and Chris Carlson authoritarian progressive attacks the American Redoubt I have come to believe that a lot of these people […]
I picked out a submarine sandwich from the deli along with a pint of whipping cream and rushed to the checkout. The cashier rang up $11 for the two items. She glanced at me and said, “Isn’t that awful? Eleven dollars for that!” To which I responded, “I remember getting a dime from my Dad, […]
The words of Daniel Webster ring as true today as they did over 150 years ago: “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, for if the […]
The word conservative is defined as ‘tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions or institutions.’ Precisely, that is what conservatives are all about, namely the maintaining of the Constitution, American values and traditions. Yet mainstream media constantly refers to conservatives like they are “extremists.” The label ‘far right’ is represented in about the same […]
IDAHO FREEDOM FOUNDATION CRITICIZED It appears the Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF) is doing a fine job since they are stirring the ire of the neoconservatives and progressives who believe more government is the answer to all our problems and ‘don’t get it.’ It is pathetic to see bloggers criticizing the IFF for rating the voting […]
We do not exist to serve our government. Our government exists to serve us. Many of our elected officials have forgotten this fact. My name is Sharon Ullman and I am running for the District 3 seat on the Ada County Commission against an incumbent. The district number is determined by one’s address but this […]
Presently two are running for president who are socialists. Therefore it would be well for us to understand that socialism is not the worker’s paradise that some make it out to be. Since President Obama recently visited Cuba, a socialist/communist country it is a very good example. Writing for The New American Fr. James Thornton […]
