Extremist Bullies Rule our State

For the past 4 days I have read and listened to folks in the media opine about the “deep fractures” in the Idaho Republican Party. I reviewed the press release from Take Back Idaho (TBI) implying that our new Republican Party Chairwoman is an “extremist”. Like a bully who has just been “stuffed in the […]

Follow The Science!

Governor Brad Little Hasn’t Changed J.D. Rucker summarized the news this last week that “following the recommendations of a Big-Pharma-controlled panel of “doctors” who unanimously voted to approve jabbing young children with the unsafe and completely ineffective Covid-19 “vaccines”, the FDA has approved the shots for any American over 6-months old.” Governor Little who has […]

Op-Ed: Smoke and Mirrors, Idaho’s “Little” Surplus

Over the last few months Idahoans have been receiving checks in the mail or deposited into their bank accounts from the Idaho Tax Commission along with a letter from Governor Brad Little claiming that, “The economy of Idaho continues to blow past projections, and we are leading the country in economic prosperity. We achieved historic […]

Tale of Two Candidates: Liberal Little vs Conservative Bundy

Could it be that Idahoans are finally waking up? To those who think Idaho might be changing to a more moderate state, I would say that you really can’t make that judgement with the results of this primary election. We only saw less than a third of the registered voters go to the polls in […]

Conservative Political Philosophy

My purpose for writing has always been to explain to first my family and many of my friends—especially in the medical community the logic and predicate for my political philosophy. In past columns, I have quoted Paul Ryan as saying, “My Christian Catholic faith informs every aspect of my life” Even though I became disenchanted with […]

We Have Ourselves to Blame

I’ve now had five days to digest the Idaho primary election results. I must admit that in the statewide races except for Raul Labrador winning the Attorney General’s race, conservatives took a “whipping”. But we have a few things to learn and if we don’t admit to our shortcomings, we will continue to make the […]

“Hail Mary” Idaho needs a J.D.Vance

Constitutional conservative Christians are being marginalized by establishment RINOs, a lap dog media, and now their sycophants in government agencies including a minority in our traditional ally—Law Enforcement. In Ohio thanks to the backing and endorsement of Donald Trump, JD Vance overcame a ten-point deficit in three months and won the Republican Primary by ten […]

Fight or Flight

There is a big hole in the hearts of Idaho Constitutional Conservatives four weeks before the Idaho Republican Primary Election. The emptiness and sense of despair in a State that that voted in 2020 for Donald Trump (63.6%) for conservatives who see candidates running Statewide with large margins like Governor Little in a recent poll […]

Governor Little, Please Stop the Torture of our Elderly

Dear Governor Little, I’m speaking on behalf of my elderly mom, age 88 as well as all of the elderly that are suffering the consequences of the Covid-19 responses. We are months beyond “flattening the curve” and now the focus is “positive cases”. The extreme measures taken whenever these “positive” cases are reported are destroying […]

Does Brad Little’s Tenure make him Non-Debatable?

Reprinted with permission of the Idaho Freedom Foundation There’s a certain amount of hubris that Gov. Brad Little’s campaign team had to muster up in order to issue the decree that the governor’s tenure is “non-debatable.” After all, that wasn’t some off-the-cuff remark that was released last week when Little bowed out of any debate […]

Red State, Blue State, Brown State

Thanks to Donald Trump politics in our country have been turned inside out and upside down. The Republican Party nat,ionwide that once was the pawn of large companies and intimately connected to the “corporate industrial complex” is now the party of blue-collar patriotic Americans. Our military that was once respected and honored and apolitical, has […]

Capitulation is not Progress

Brad Little is a good man. He loves his family and many of his corps values I share. He is Pro-Life and Pro-Gun. But he is not a conservative. He is Pro Big Government. He is a Mitt Romney opportunist, but like many RINOs in our State he is afraid to take off the camouflage […]
