Requiem for a Conservative State

This past week, Ammon Bundy, a candidate for governor of Idaho, was arrested and is now being subjected to a total of 10-days in jail (with no bail option) and a $3,000 fine.

“Self Interest” vs “Selfish Interest”

There is a difference between “self-interest” and “selfish interest”. The difference can be found in the word “selfness”. Today we are watching captains of industry, leaders in academia, our Ecclesiastical leaders in The Church(s), and special interest corporate lobbyists like IACI/IMA/IHA, and the CofC proceed in their own “selfish” interests. Does IACI now control our […]

State of Idaho v. Ammon Bundy

This story begins on Mar 13th 2020 when Governor Little put the State of Idaho under emergency order. In my opinion he only used this power to get federal money and arbitrary authority. Idaho at the time only had one COVID case according to the governor’s official website. I began looking at what other states […]

Liberal Trojan Horses set to Turn Idaho Blue

Why is it that even the most conservative of people like Kevin Miller use Facebook?  Don’t they realize that they are aiding and abetting the enemy who is trying to take away our freedom of speech?  The story about Facebook coming to Idaho was first broken by Kevin Miller host of 580KIDO radio. https://kidotalkradio.com/kuna-braces-for-facebook-big-tech-invasion/  The […]

Where’s the Beef?

Every night I read the EYE ON BOISE review post edited by award winning journalist Betsy Russell. I am amazed at how many bills are brought up before legislative committees that remind me of the famous Wendy’s add from the early 80’s. A little old lady gets a burger from a drive in and bites […]

Why President Trump didn’t Endorse Brad Little for Governor

The Biden administration continues to move illegals by bus, train and plane to cities throughout the U.S, inflation is raging, our major cities are saturated in a crime wave, and all they want to do is to warn us about Omicron. Americans should be more worried about the virus that has infected our once conservative […]

When Fighting a Worthy Opponent

A tip of the hat to Governor Brad Little. I have lived in Idaho for almost 40 years, and I have not watched a more effective State of The State Address. Lacking the retail political skills and charisma of his predecessor or the ability to connect with the people like a Cecil Andrus or the […]
