In a groundbreaking decision, the United States Supreme Court has handed down a monumental victory for property rights with its ruling in the case of Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on May 25, 2023. The ruling, which has far-reaching implications for property owners in Idaho and across the nation, represents a significant victory for […]
Our thanks goes out to those men and women who made it possible to have liberty and freedom today that came forth from the Founding Fathers. They produced the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution including The Bill of Rights. They pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor and sacrificed much so that we […]
There are going to be a number of post-election critics and analysts with their opinion of who won and who lost and why. What we know for sure is that the divide is real in our communities. The local paper’s summation that some “engaged in ridiculous culture wars” in a recent editorial confirmed that they […]
When reason, morality, ethics, and the law are replaced with feelings and emotions; humanistic diaphanous solutions that never can stand the test of time replace sound policy and fill the void. Those willing to “sell their souls to the devil” will many times win in the short run—but not in the long run. When a […]
Two young men on an “Outward Bound” college vacation were dropped off in the middle of Montana at the edge of Yellowstone. One was a political science major who had applied to several Ivy League law schools and as a backup plan scheduled himself to go to sociology grad school. Work was not on the […]
For the past three years there have been calls from the left to defund our police by many leftists’ organizations as we have seen crime numbers increase at an alarming rate. Crime is soaring in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York as marauding gangs are roaming the streets striking wherever they […]
It is that time of year when Mr. Kevin Miller of KIDO radio begins his weeklong adventure at the Walmart at Garrity in Nampa to raise funds for the Boise Rescue Mission. I don’t know of anyone in Idaho who is more committed to helping those who cannot help themselves than Kevin Miller. So, this […]
Recently, while lamenting the sad state of our Uni-Party system, where Republicans and Democrats often seem to be just two sides of the same Twix bar, my mind flitted back a few years to the halcyon days of the 2014 Idaho primary campaigns. These days the rancor, rampant dishonesty, hypocrisy, and general disregard for the […]
It is often difficult to explain something that doesn’t make sense in a way that it does make sense. Starting with the foundation of the insanity may be the place to start. It was previously revealed that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) adheres to international standards for conservation. Although “fragmentation” and “habitat” are frequently […]
I finally got around to reading the John Durham CROSSFIRE HURRICANE conclusions after reading through 350 pages that would make anyone’s skin crawl. Idaho’s Frank Church is rolling over in his grave and if you can listen closely in a peaceful and quiet place you can hear his voice softly saying, “I told you so.” […]
A group of well-intentioned people, several of them my friends have formed an organization with the purpose of finding as one of them said on a radio show last week “the common ground between well intentioned people who represent disparate political factions”. I believe that everyone should try to get along and find “common ground”, […]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman John Curtis (R-UT), alongside Congressional Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse (R-WA) and Congressman Russ Fulcher (R-ID), introduced legislation to halt the proposed Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands rule that undermines the agency’s approach to federal land management by upending decades of multiple-use administration. With more than 90% of BLM’s 245 […]
