From the president on down, the Democrats have been claiming that Donald Trump will “end democracy.” There are two problems with this claim. One is that they won’t say HOW Trump would end democracy and the other is they don’t tell us what they mean by “democracy.” Can the President of the United States “end […]
“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” Antoine de Saint Exupery There has been a lot of talk about the need for unity in the Republican Party. The […]
Ever since President Obama left office there has been a coordinated effort to open our borders to illegal immigrants in hopes of inundating the U.S. with a huge mass migration of illegals that we cannot possibly cope with. This process started by Obama before he left office and was his way of changing the face […]
An accountant friend would tell a story of the 1980 Savings and Loan collapse. He attended a meeting where the board members watched a presentation recommending that they upgrade their corporate jet to the latest model for several million dollars. After the presentation ended the chairman stood up and announced their S&L was insolvent and […]
I once thought that Democrats were generally patriotic Americans who just wanted different things than I wanted, but who would generally do the right thing. I worked nine years in a mine in a small town in Idaho, and almost all the men with whom I worked were Democrats. We often disagreed on many philosophical […]

Today’s Media Tries to Rewrite American History The common saying that the news today becomes the history of tomorrow is probably only partially true. History has a context. The news in real time substitutes a narrative in the place of context. One would think that because there are so many sources of news today, it […]
I wrote in my most recent post about the fact that the Democratic Party through all its iterations has always been the party of subjugation. Beginning with its founding by Thomas Jefferson through the growth of the southern agrarian tobacco and cotton economies that were dependent on slavery, and beyond the civil war with “The […]
In a previous article the relationship between the Western States Center (WSC) and Jim Jones, founder of the Take Bake Idaho (TBI) group, was exposed. While the relationship between WSC members and other groups was touched upon, the extensive range of those relationships is disturbing. WSC is clearly part of a terrorist network of groups […]
When I worked at the Bunker Hill Mine in Kellogg, Idaho, most of my associates were Democrats—good Americans. They were family men, hard-working, clean living and reasonable. I don’t recognize them anymore. During the Trump Administration, immigration was under control, we were producing more energy than we needed, and America was bouncing back after the […]
