Dear Friends, This week we honor the men and women who have worn the uniform in service to our Republic. Veterans Day is a moment to pause and acknowledge the depth of sacrifice that makes our freedoms possible. It’s a debt we can never fully repay, but one we must never forget we owe. For […]
“The Great Reckoning” is a phrase that conjures a decisive moment—a juncture when accountability can no longer be deferred, and the record of promise and performance stands exposed. In literature and in life, this reckoning often signifies the moment when justice, clarity, and consequence converge, forcing institutions and individuals alike to confront the uncomfortable truth. […]
Popes, political pundits, politicians—and most importantly, WE THE PEOPLE—have railed against institutional corruption since the beginning of time. A brief survey of my Concordance will serve the purpose: The Bible addresses political and institutional corruption in many passages, warning of the dangers when leaders and systems become unjust, exploitative, or self-serving. While it does not use […]
Caring for those less fortunate is one of our God-given responsibilities, as Americans and as human beings. The American people—especially Republicans—have always been generous. Surveys consistently show that conservatives give more money to charitable causes than progressives, and I think there’s a simple reason for that: unlike liberals, we don’t see government as the answer […]
As we all complain about the Government shutdown, I often wonder how many people actually understand why it is shut down. The answer is simply, “It’s the democrats being stupid again.” There are only a handful of presidents who have actually had ideas that have propelled our country in the right direction, and the two […]
This article courtesy of the Idaho Freedom Foundation As the shutdown of the federal government extends beyond 30 days, the key reasons become apparent: it is about healthcare costs and who pays them. The debate over temporarily expanded healthcare premium subsidies and Medicaid eligibility is really about who pays what. You see, the notion that […]
My name is Brian Lenney, and I represent you in the Idaho State Senate. I took an oath to defend Idaho and America, and I refuse to watch our state be transformed while staying silent. I came to Idaho because it represented everything America used to be. A place where hardworking Americans could raise families […]
Tuesday’s election had some very interesting and positive results, along with a little negative. The grassroots conservative candidates recommended by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) swept most of the offices in the county with the exception of Coeur d’Alene and Hayden. Turnout was 28%, which is lower than we would like but more […]
Dear Friends, For over a century, America has operated under an interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause that many now believe is the only constitutionally permissible reading. Automatic citizenship for anyone born on American soil, regardless of their parents’ legal status, has become so accepted that courts have treated it as settled law. Even […]
BOISE, ID — Attorney General Raúl Labrador secured a settlement that voids predatory contracts MV Realty tricked Idaho homeowners into signing. The company lured families with small cash payments, then trapped them in 40-year agreements with hidden penalties—even binding their children to the contract. MV Realty offered homeowners a few hundred dollars in exchange for using them […]
What Unites Great American Presidents? Roosevelt, Trump, and the Triumph of Principle As I revisit Bret Baier’s To Rescue the American Spirit for a second time, the lessons of American leadership—and the parallels between Donald Trump and Theodore Roosevelt—resonate more strongly than ever. In our age of uncertainty and polarization, the nation’s course depends on leaders willing […]
Though I was never a professional fisherman, I have spent thousands of hours at sea. It began with a year on the USS Virginia, where I completed my qualifications as Officer of the Day Underway. Although I never formally received my S.W.O.S. badge after passing the written and oral exams, the skipper honored me with […]
