Most people take police for granted and give little thought to the fantastic ‘value’ they are for our taxpayer dollars. Because, inside that symbolic uniform is a multi-talented individual that must ‘perform’ daily to impeccable standards and unfortunately for a pittance compared to his worth. Incidentally, let me digress a moment. If a female officer […]
What is it about Trump that he always seems to hit the proverbial nail on the head? Our lame duck president took another trip to Europe for a visit with the NATO Alliance only to tell them what Donald Trump has been saying since April of this year. The President chided the many members of […]

Part of the Answer lies in an open letter to the Board from Russ Joki The Gem State Patriot received this very interesting letter to the West Ada School District (WASD) Board of Trustees. We decided it should be shared with all of our readers and we hope they will distribute it to all of […]
Multiple non-governmental organizations (NGO), also known as non-profits, promote United Nations (UN) goals and objectives and they have been very successful at it.

Once again we see the genius of the Clinton strategy to deflect public attention from […]
The establishment media is bought and paid for by the corporate lobbyists and establishment politicians. Everybody should be irate at the local news media and how they handled this Refugee incident in Twin Falls, and what is more abominable is the reaction of the city officials.
