The only thing that rivals their level of bias against […]
Boise, ID – Attorney General Raúl Labrador joined a 16-state coalition in a letter to U.S. Congressional leadership, urging the passage of the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (“EATS”) Act. The bill prevents California from regulating farmers and ranchers across the country by preserving states’ authority to regulate agriculture within their own borders. Passing the EATS Act […]

The United States is grappling with a severe spending addiction that shows no signs of abating. Year after year, our government fails to implement responsible budgetary measures, instead opting to borrow more money to fund its excessive expenditures. The recent decision to raise the debt ceiling, while it may help us avoid immediate disaster, does […]
Earlier today, I received a message for me to sign a petition to Congressman Fulcher urging him not to vote for the Debt Ceiling, but instead “to push for a real deal.” I respect Mr. Fulcher, and I also signed the petition. Still, much about the Debt Ceiling is not understood or reported. To begin […]

Political Truth and Consequences?

Think about what has been revealed to us over the past week because Republicans finally have control over the House of Representatives. In testimony before two Congressional Committees yesterday: When Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell joined […]
Say ye not ‘A confederacy…’
“Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.” I’ve been under the impression that both of our modern political parties were rotten, particularly at the nation level and probably to the core. At the same time I haven’t quite known what to make of what […]
