The adults who oversee many of our institutions that historically have held the keys to the kingdom of the promise of hope and advancement in our society, have proceeded in a world and with hearts that are void of virtue. The predicate for all actions in a civil and ordered world must be a foundation […]
Virtue vs a Cycle of Oppression
Does it seem to anybody else that we are being ruled by a group of people who no matter how one measures their “virtue” they are weak and not very accomplished in their own right? Back in the second century BCE the Greek military hero and Roman historian Polybius, wrote about. The “Kyklos”—cycle of governance. […]
So, the question is has our country changed, so much that we have crossed that line in the sand? Is America no longer the leader of the free world? We have been under constant assault from the neocons and the left for the past 2 decades and things look pretty grim politically and economically for […]
In July of 2022, the Republican Party gathered in Twin Falls for our summer convention to elect new leadership of the party. The grassroots came together and overwhelmingly voted for change from the top down, setting a mandate that the party return to conservative principles. When I took the gavel, I made a commitment to […]
Common terms, like conservative and liberal, with traditional meanings may not mean the same things today. Still, there are definitions of conservative even the liberals have to accept because they are unchanging. Just as some want to abandon the term conservative, many Christians wanted to stop using the term “born again” that was popularized by […]
Idahoans probably remember the 2014 standoff that occurred between Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at Bunkerville, Nevada, and also involved Americans from across the U.S. coming to support Bundy. The press described the scene as a law-breaking rancher and inappropriately labeled supporters “domestic terrorists” and other derogatory names. These “terrorists” were blamed […]
One Perspective
This is a perspective by one person who was at the Bunkerville incident in 2014, and having concerns about the similarities with the Lava Ridge Wind Project. So what happens if the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decides to allow LS Power to move forward with the Lava Ridge project? Once the BLM approves and […]
I haven’t seen so many Democrats this mad (and scared) since the Republicans freed the slaves. I haven’t seen so many people hate a President like the various progressive and RINO factions in our country today hate Donald Trump, since the Democrats, Peace Democrats, and Copperheads expressed their hate for Abraham Lincoln from 1858 until […]
My Doctor, My Lawyer
I was involved in a litigation conference several days ago. My entire adult professional life was in the world of operating rooms and intensive care units. Sitting in a room with attorneys and the various parties involved in litigation is something that is part of their everyday lives, but the process is almost surreal from […]
Idaho’s Uni-Party of Legislators screws Idaho property owners again. The headline reads: Property owners once again get screwed on their property taxes. Idaho’s legislature overrode Governor Littles’s veto on property taxes relief. “hip hip hooray”, don’t cheer until you realize that this 13% cut will be insignificant for the majority of Idaho’s property owners. The […]
America in Decline?
With this indictment of President Trump, America has hit a new low in the political and legal arena. We now know that the left will stop at nothing to keep Trump from running for office in 2024. America has become the laughingstock of the world as Joe Biden eats his chocolate chip ice cream while […]
Another sad story of a school shooting this past week that could have been avoided along with another call from stupid politicians for a ban on assault rifles, what a bunch of jerks we have elected to office. Had the teachers been armed chances are this tragic event would never have happened. When there is […]
