I want to give you my opinion on the Meridian Library controversy. This is not so much about the books in the library, but about which books are accessible to children. Everyone should realize that Both Boise and Meridian are in the throes of cultural change as more moderate and left-leaning citizens move into our […]
Idahoans are pretty independent, not only in mind but in survival as well. The strength of these characteristics varies depending on where they live, rural or urban. Regardless, no Idahoan can escape the train that is coming down the track towards them. There are many primary issues being dumped on Idaho that are being fought, […]
We are being lied to and have become numb to deceptions. We have allowed this misguidance to lead to the abuse of our free will and have become complacent in our acceptance of the lies being peddled before us. Rather than accepting these lies, let us follow the truth. The truth is marriage is an […]
Idahoans have been suffering from increases in property tax, especially over the last few years. The cost of people moving here from out of state, and the impact that has on our city infrastructures has only added to this burden. There are two bills currently being held in committees that would help ease the burden […]
My Quaker grandmother told me to always be careful of ones’ thoughts. There is a cycle from thoughts to words to actions and finally habits develop, and habits can be hard to break and can define a life. The chain from words to habits can be good or bad. Sometimes we have bad habits that […]
It seems to me as a non-lawyer that two very important issues are misunderstood by citizens but also by our elected and appointed officials in government. The open meeting laws and requirements for disclosure prior to discussing business between several members of a committee or council even though the meeting was spontaneous and not about […]
Helen B. Taussig was one of the greatest individuals I have ever met. She was a pioneer in her field of pediatric cardiology and was one of the founders of the Taussig—Blalock—Thompson shunt. She was a true classical feminist. We had a relationship that traversed two generations within my family. My father was a family […]
There are numerous problems with our country and how the government runs today which need fixing. At the federal level, in particular, many problems are most easily recognized. What to do to fix D.C. are various and wide ranging. Here, I wish to address the idea of an Article V convention of the state’s idea […]
It is amazing to us that we are considering a $25 million dollar levy for the Coeur d’Alene School District in a vacuum with no context of what has transpired over the last three years. We are nearing the anniversary of the Covid-19 panic and in hindsight one of the worst mistakes made by leaders […]
I would like to offer a “tip of the hat” to my friends at The Idaho Freedom Foundation. In an article published two days ago, the authors Fred Birnbaum, Ronald Nate PhD., and Niklas Kleinworth outline in a policy paper entitled MEDCAID IN IDAHO: A POLICY PRIMER the predicate, the unfulfilled promise, the financial house […]
Many Idahoans are actively engaged in the fight against a world that is being deliberately transformed into one that will eventually be under the dictates of corporate technocrats. The current legislative session has brought forth some very significant bills to protect Idahoans from these attacks, such as the protection of children, protection of state assets […]
The new Education Freedom Bill, which has garnered a fair amount of support and opposition, has passed the Senate Education Committee with a do pass recommendation. S1038 would essentially create an Education Savings Account (ESA) of roughly $6,000 per child, giving the parent more options in choosing an educational setting for their child, K-12th grade. […]
