Every now and then, we reach a moment in history that causes us to stop and recognize its significance. I can still vividly remember celebrating America’s 200th birthday in 1976. It was my senior year of high school, and my Southern belle dress won top prize and landed me on the front page of the Springfield […]
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJune 30, 2026 Boise, Idaho — The Idaho Republican Party today hailed the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Little v. Hecox, which upheld Idaho’s Fairness in Women’s Sports Act and affirmed that states may maintain women’s and girls’ sports teams for biological females under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth […]
The partisan arguments now raging between left and right in America differ not merely in policy preferences but in their grounding assumptions and their political philosophy. Yet the vocabulary now used to describe political protest, and political violence has become alarmingly imprecise. Even the terms found in the nation’s own constitutional and legal inheritance—”rebellion” and […]
Received a thoughtful and compelling email today from one of my closest lifelong friends. Fritz and I played junior and senior league baseball together, and we were teammates in football from eighth grade through high school. He was a great player on a great team. I was good, but not great. He sent me a […]
Half the country is sure America is sliding toward socialism/communism; the other half is sure it’s sliding toward authoritarianism. The evidence says the nation is moving in both directions at once and that the feeling of a clean ideological slide itself is the thing most worth explaining. I do admit to using a high-end AI […]
0:01 A Clearer Way to See Policy The episode opens by trading the week’s political complaints for a teaching segment that promises to trace what policies actually do, rather than how they appear on the surface.

As everyone is relentlessly distracted by the daily chaotic events, the movement towards a digital control grid continues to silently be put into place. The Internet of Things (IoT) is essential for feeding the beast known as the artificial intelligence agent (AI Agent) which replaces human problem solving. However, IoT is really a conglomerate of […]
Dear Friends, This week, the United States Supreme Court struck down a Hawaii law that made it a crime for concealed carry permit holders to walk onto private property open to the public unless the owner had first given express permission. In a 6-3 decision in Wolford v. Lopez, the Court ruled that the law, […]
BOISE, ID – Attorney General Raúl Labrador led a coalition of states to a major Second Amendment win today at the United States Supreme Court in Wolford v. Lopez. In a 6-3 decision, the Court struck down Hawaii’s law, known colloquially as the “Vampire Rule,” which barred concealed carry permit holders from entering private property open to […]
BOISE, ID — As Idahoans book flights and hotels for summer vacations, Attorney General Raúl Labrador is warning families to watch for travel scammers looking to steal their money before they ever leave home. Scammers often buy fake online ads that mimic well-known airlines and hotel chains, listing phony customer service numbers or linking to fraudulent […]
As the United States marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the celebrations have been plentiful—parades, flyovers, concerts, and public spectacle. Yet amid the pageantry, something essential is missing: a serious national conversation about the ideas and antecedent principles that shaped our Founding—particularly the role of religion and faith. This omission is not […]
There is a quiet illusion that haunts modern leadership: the belief that authority is self‑justifying. That to possess the right to act is to possess the wisdom to act. But this is a confusion as old as political philosophy itself, and one that every serious thinker—from Aristotle to Aquinas to the Stoics—warned against with remarkable […]
