“Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue.” ~ Bary Goldwater Many know of this well-known quote from Barry Goldwater at the 1964 Republican Convention, but few remember Malcolm X’s arguing in its defense at Oxford University five months later. Extremism is in the eye of the […]
When we look back at our country’s history even the pledge of Allegiance to our national flag which has been in existence in one form or another since 1892 has been attacked time and again in the courts. In 1942 President Roosevelt signed the “Flag Code” law which established rules for the display and care […]
The American justice system, once hailed as a beacon of fairness and equality, is facing a reckoning as a growing divide becomes very evident. Recent developments, including the alleged corruption within the Biden family and the indictment of former President Donald Trump, sheds light on what appears to be a two-tiered approach to justice. Just […]
I once thought that Democrats were generally patriotic Americans who just wanted different things than I wanted, but who would generally do the right thing. I worked nine years in a mine in a small town in Idaho, and almost all the men with whom I worked were Democrats. We often disagreed on many philosophical […]
Who will control government-sponsored education going forward? There are school board trustee elections across the State of Idaho and the patriots running for office need to be educated about the teacher’s union and their agenda. “It is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of […]
Why is it that so many are more outraged that Brittney Griner was stuck in Russia than they were about Americans being stranded in Afghanistan? How is it that the government can’t control gasoline prices… but the weather is something they can fix? If kids knew what they wanted to be at age eight, the […]
Lynn and I spent the better part of last Thursday at the Canyon County Fair. That county fair must be one of the best run county fairs in the country. Like the Snake River Stampede and The Caldwell Night Rodeo, these events are a celebration of life and lifestyles in Idaho. The high school Future […]
Over the years the line between exploitation, expediency and greed has become increasingly blurred throughout all aspects of our lives. Nowhere is this more evident than in big-time college sports that have become a hundred of billions of dollars Ponzi scheme where the universities, conference corporate leaders, and media moguls are capitalizing on the fruits […]
We should all thank Audrey Dutton for her extensive reporting on the Idaho Health Data Exchange as it continues to prove to us the incompetency of Idaho’s Health and Welfare Department. We have been calling for an audit of this Bureaucratic behemoth for several years, but it appears that no one in the political arena […]
Boise, ID — Idaho Republican Party Chairwoman Dorothy Moon announces the filling of the vacancy for the Idaho GOP National Committeeman position. Bryan Smith, of Idaho Falls, will serve the remainder of the term as the Idaho Republican Party National Committeeman. The Idaho Republican State Central Committee convened on July 29, 2023, for a special […]
It appears that Governor Little is not going to call a special session to deal with the need to reinstate the March Presidential Primary. This has to be a tragedy of epic proportions. Surely the governor understands that under current policy, our military and our absentee voters will have no vote. That has to be […]
Yum! What is better than having a pizza delivered by Pizza Hut for those fall football games. How about when planning a picnic or Mom is getting off late from work, dropping by and getting a bucket of that Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) with all the trimmings to feed the family, everyone loves that. When […]
