With the enormous influx of new residents in the great state of Idaho, I thought it would a good idea to welcome all of the newbies to our state but also to inform them of how Idaho has been changing over the past two decades. I myself was a transplant to this wonderful state from […]
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 […]
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 […]
