Restoring Election Integrity

Dear Editor, The 2022 General Election has been concluded. There are still unsettling questions in Americans’ minds, such as: the red wave that should have taken place, Republican control of the Legislature, and the Arizona gubernatorial race. There is one more question though. In a recent statement, Kari Lake said that she would continue to […]

Right Before Your Very Eyes

My father fancied himself an amateur magician. He was always practicing and performing magic tricks not just for his children, but for anyone that would watch. As I grew older, he would tell me that all the great magicians told a story that at its core was hope. Hope that the bunny would disappear but […]

How Powerful is Big Tech’s influence in our Elections?

I have been saying for years that if we put the right restrictions on big tech there would be a much different outcome in our elections. Since the advent of big tech in around 2000, it has become more difficult for pollsters to call elections as was the case in the current mid-terms. The big […]

Will Idaho continue to move “Left”?

We would like to thank Ammon Bundy for making this important run for governor as it takes a lot of courage and faith to go up against a political machine as powerful as the one, we have in Idaho. The media will never acknowledge that Ammon has done something very important for the independent voters […]

The Christian Vote

Analyzing The Turnout and The Issues This past election was called by many as “the most important election of our lifetime”. We’ve heard that before and maybe it is true.

How Demographics Affect Elections

As reported by both Fox News and MSNBC, there have been some very interesting insights found in the exit polling after last Tuesday’s midterm elections. One of the most interesting is that the most “Blue” group of people—60% voted the Democratic line—were single working women. The strongest two groups for Republicans were mothers with more […]

Luna – Idaho’s Tuna

There has always been something fishy about Tom Luna and we should all know what it is by now. Let me first say that Mr. Luna is a patronizing hypocrite who is still upset he lost his election as chairman of the Idaho GOP. This is a position he should have never been voted into […]

Luna continues to mislead readers, GOP

I would like to say that I’m surprised by defeated GOP chairman Tom Luna’s last-minute op-ed attacking me, Bryan Smith, and Brent Regan regarding our donations to Idaho Freedom PAC. Unfortunately, I’m not. Tom has borne false witness against us, and now it’s up to us to set the record straight. Apparently his peace offering […]

Official Idaho Republican Party Statement on Constitutional Amendment SJR 102

In Great Britain, the king could control when Parliament could meet and when it could be dissolved. Our Founding Fathers knew British history, and they knew that no king or executive should be able to choose when the People’s representatives could meet. They gave Congress the power to meet without the President’s consent. Unfortunately, Idaho […]

What SJR 102 would do for Idaho and why it’s on your ballot

If Idaho’s framers wanted the governor to write laws and spend Idahoans’ money, they would have written those responsibilities into the Idaho Constitution—but they didn’t. Indeed, a major virtue of Idaho’s government is how it separates the executive and legislative branches with the principle of the Legislature as the law-writing and appropriating branch, and the […]

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, […]
