Last week while Governor Little was out of state, Lieutenant Governor Janice McGeachin, acting as Governor in Little’s absence, signed an executive order that prevented cities, local school boards, and other local government authorities from mandating masks. Upon his return, Little immediately rescinded McGeachin’s executive order. Now local governments can once again mandate masks. Little […]
Janice McGeachin showed what she is made of by signing an executive order forbidding the state, municipalities, and public schools from requiring masks while Governor Little was attending a republican conference in Tennessee. Governor Little never ordered a mask mandate for the state but there were many dictatorial types Like Mayor McLean of Boise who […]
As the conservative candidates line up for Idaho’s gubernatorial primary I have to think back to the 2014 primary election when Otter beat out Fulcher by less than 8% of the vote and eventually won a third term. That was the year that Labrador said he was going to run and held up Fulcher’s campaign […]
I have been writing for a year about Governor Little and how he has made a sharp turn to the left and no one seems to accept that fact. Well, citizens of Idaho, you must read a scathing article written by Blaze Media writer and senior editor at Conservative Review Daniel Horowitz. He backs up […]

Patriotism is alive and Well in Council Idaho: I had the good fortune to be able to attend the annual Lincoln day Dinner in Council this past Saturday and to sit at a table with Congressman Fulcher and former Constitutional Attorney Christ Troupis. This was one of the most encouraging gatherings I have attended in […]

This group is described by Jeff Taggert in his most recent Idaho Politics Weekly post as being “wacky and extremist at best”. The group met with and posed […]
“There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there.” — GK Chesterton As many people work to escape states that have wandered far from the well-known American foundation, we are fortunate to already be right here in Idaho—our home built on traditional values and solid conservative principles. I want […]
Representative for the 1st Congressional District: The Gem State Patriot proudly endorses former State Senator Russell Fulcher. We feel that Russ has been a guardian of conservative values during his 10 years in the Idaho Senate and indeed looks out for the little guy with his bill to enact the grocery tax credit to help […]
Serving as a State Representative in the Idaho House was an awesome experience. It was an honor to serve in the opportunity to help protect the liberties and freedoms which our Constitution bestows and which so many of us hold dear as Republicans. As one of the more conservative members of the House, we helped […]
Taking pride in inducing serious mental anguish with legislatures that do not honor their oaths of office ABOUT THIS BEING SO LATE PUBLISHING Writer’s remarks: This meeting was held one week before Russ Fulcher withdrew as a Gubernatorial Candidate and announced his candidacy for the First Congressional District, Raul Labrador’s current seat in the U.S. […]
