OP-ED from Idaho Freedom PAC – Protect freedom: Vote yes on SJR 102

Imagine for a moment that an emergency comes up in Idaho. The governor of the state decides to wield unilateral power — to shut down the state’s economy, change laws with the stroke of a pen, and even appropriate millions of dollars from the federal government.  Imagine also that some local government agencies — cities, […]

Op-ed: Ammon Bundy sends shock waves through the political establishment

Ammon Bundy’s recent campaign ad that took on the “woke cult” has sent some shock waves through the political establishment. Bundy calls out the culture warriors who are systematically working to tear down the institutions and ideals on which our nation was founded. The ad has drawn strong reactions, including the predictable disapproval from the political left. […]

Keep It Simple

I watched “The Idaho Debates” Public Superintendent of Scholls Debate on Idaho Public TV two nights ago and I came away with two big questions: From what I was able to ascertain during the hour-long discussion was that it serves as a conduit to distribute taxpayer monies from the Federal and State to local school […]

The Last Stand RINO Rendezvous

In all the Western States surrounding Idaho, we are seeing a surge in the fortunes of conservative Republican candidates running in Statewide and local elections. I predict we will see a similar surge in Idaho with Raul Labrador. It does seem that Idaho will be the last “toe hold” for the Bush brothers, Boehner, Kasich, […]

Why I support Ammon Bundy

As most of my readers know I was raised in the early years of my life in the home of my Quaker grandparents in Philadelphia. Particularly my grandmother, but also my grandfather had a very strong influence upon my faith, my philosophy of life, and as I reflect in my later life—my politics. My grandparents […]

Did Brad Little Really Cut Regulations?

The Big Lie On January 31, 2019, Brad Little held a press conference to sign Executive Order 2019-02 the ‘RED TAPE REDUCTION ACT’. This act was intended to require state agencies to issue administrative rules to identify at least two existing rules to be repealed or significantly simplify every one rule they propose.

Political Grudges Run Deep

Former Speaker of The House Paul Ryan is not one of my favorite politicians. His one quote that “my faith informs every aspect of my life”, is a statement that I can admire. I have always been interested in “process”. One of my organic chemistry teachers Howard Curry whenever a student asked a question, would go […]

When the Right goes Wrong

There has been a lot of talk and speculation about the cadence and tenor of the upcoming Idaho November General Elections. Specifically, the lack of engagement by establishment Republicans, affectionately known as THE DEMOCRATIC WING OF THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN PARTY (DWIRPs)—they feel RINO is disrespectful, it is in my most humble opinion an affront to […]

OPINION: Mike Crapo should not be reelected to the United States Senate

U.S. Senator Mike Crapo (R- Idaho) has morphed into just another career politician and Washington insider. The reason he should not be re-elected this November includes his direct support of the new “green energy/infrastructure” bill railroaded through Congress by Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. This mislabeled bill is one example of Senator Crapo’s many failures […]

When the RINOs see the Elephant in the Room

We find it interesting that 50 supposedly Republicans including some prominent former officeholders are supporting Tom Arkoosh who is running as a democrat for attorney general. We have to ask the question why would these people who claim to be staunch republicans be supporting a democrat? The answer is quite simple my friends these are […]

Congressman Russ Fulcher Endorses Raul Labrador for Attorney General

In a recent conversation on the Kevin Miller show, I asked Congressman Russ Fulcher if he would endorse former congressman Raul Labrador for the position of Attorney General of Idaho. Well to many Idahoans’ surprise. Congressman Fulcher said he would be pleased to endorse Raul for that position. The 50 geriatric RINO Republicans who recently […]
