To Debate or Not to Debate

Reprinted with permission of the Idaho Freedom Foundation Republican lieutenant governor candidate Priscilla Giddings is 100% correct to not subject herself to a debate run by Idaho’s leftist news media.

Dirty Politics

It’s been encouraging to see the enthusiastic support from conservatives across the state as I have been campaigning for Lieutenant Governor.

Idaho’s Do Nothing Legislature

Looks like the taxpayers of Idaho just got shortchanged again as the special legislative session yielded nothing but a resolution condemning President Biden’s vaccine mandates. IACI wins again as 30 bills were presented to the legislature in this special session and as usual, all these bills were either killed by committee chairman or killed in […]

The Legislative Witch Hunt has begun

After listening to the Ethics Committee hearing for Priscilla Giddings, it is my opinion that there was no real evidence presented that was so damming us tax payers should be spending $100,000 on this Kangaroo court.

Why is ARPA money being offered to Idaho? ARPA money is (Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act) and accepting and spending this money threatens Idaho’s sovereignty. Once we take this money we are committed to abide by the federal rules attached to these funds. This is borrowed money by the federal government which will have to be […]
