Before you jump to any conclusions after reading the title, NO, I am not dissing the good people escaping third world countries like California or Washington. I have made a lot of new friends with the recent arrivals to the promised land. What concerns me is the latest attempt to turn us into California or […]
Since I started my time as chairwoman of the Idaho Republican Party, I’ve put a lot of miles on my rig. I’ve crisscrossed the state to attend Lincoln Days, county GOP meetings, and community events. I’ve also had the opportunity to travel out-of-state for Republican National Committee events. Just last week, I traveled to Oklahoma […]
Just like the unsuspecting City of Troy was taken by surprise by a gift horse so we are seeing Idaho taken over by the Uni-Party or as we call them the political Trojan Horse. I refer to the recent announcement by “The Idaho Leaders United” declaring a purge on anyone or any group they think […]
It was back in 2015 that we along with the Idaho Freedom Foundation warned Idahoans about the problems with containing costs if Medicaid Expansion was approved in our state. It was eventually passed by referendum and is now chewing up tax dollars beyond belief. Why are we subsidizing those who are capable of paying for […]
Recently, the City of Boise announced that it would spend nearly $2 million to continue using a hotel as a homeless shelter. Never mind that local shelters, like Boise Rescue Ministries, said they had the capacity and resources to assist with certain homeless demographic groups, including women and women with children. Boise Mayor Lauren McLean’s […]
Op-Ed by an anonymous Mental Health Professional practicing in Idaho. Below is a letter written to some conservative legislators during this last session. It was written and given anonymously with the “ask” to read it into the record either during a committee hearing or during floor debate on House Bill 71. To our knowledge, that […]
The 2024 Republican Presidential Primary is shaping up to be one of the most consequential primaries of the last forty years. Selecting the delegates who will decide the next Republican nominee can seem a complicated and arcane process. Across the country, state Republican parties use different procedures to select delegates to send to the Republican […]
At the risk of sounding provincial or even parochial I would like to share my feelings about what is going on in Garden City and specifically the Plantation neighborhood. We are trying to fight off the development of our golf course. My wife and I like 256 other homeowners are very concerned as are neighbors […]
Those who had an opportunity to listen to our new Attorney General Raul Labrador this past week either in person or on Idaho Freedom TV should have been impressed with the speech he made on Capital Clarity. You can hear his speech here: It has been 20 years since the people of Idaho have had […]
National news outlets have recently taken an interest in Idaho’s prohibition on elective abortions. It’s not surprising, but it is further proof that the radicalization of our state is being coordinated by far-away organizations and out-of-state money. Idaho’s prohibition on elective abortions went into effect after the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in […]
Why do we continue to listen to “experts” who have continually proven to be wrong in their predictions and prognostications? Last week I wrote that “bigger is not better” in many cases. How often have the “experts” in the fields of medical education and public health missed the mark over the past 10 years? The […]
I want to give you my opinion on the Meridian Library controversy. This is not so much about the books in the library, but about which books are accessible to children. Everyone should realize that Both Boise and Meridian are in the throes of cultural change as more moderate and left-leaning citizens move into our […]
