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 […]
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, […]
The United Nations Environment Program Initiative: in the Freshfields Report in October 2005 was the first organization to coin the phrase “ESG” an acronym which stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance.

I have always been interested in “process”. One of my organic chemistry teachers Howard Curry whenever a student asked a question, would go […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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.
