The Lava Ridge Project is another Climate Change Boondoggle by the Feds

This is what happens when the Feds own 62% of our land. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: To start we should discuss some of the great things that the BLM and the U.S. Forest Service have done for Idaho before we talk about these turbines.

Stop Lava Ridge! Don’t Let the Feds Make Idaho a Vassal of California

It’s an easy sport for politicians to complain about Washington D.C. After all, D.C. is where so many ill-advised ideas are dreamt up and put into federal law, regulation, or judicial opinion. It’s much more difficult to find examples of federal overreach that everyone can agree on. The Lava Ridge Wind Project, however, is one […]

The theory is that because of man generated carbon dioxide the earth is warming and it will reach a “tipping point” and the earth will […]

The implied argument is this: We all believe in science, and if science is on my side of the argument, my argument should win the day—-end of discussion. Anyone making such […]

Do Progressive Liberals Think Critically?

There seems to be one consistent flaw in the thinking of many liberals, particularly politicians, those in the media and academia.
