Follow The Money — Remember The Names

If Mitt Romney ran against Donald Trump in Idaho, Trump would receive upward of 60% of the vote from Idahoans in a one-on-one election—UNLESS—the vote was taken in the Idaho legislature where the results would be reversed. This is just another way of saying that the elected Republican majority in our State is very much […]

Spiritual Economics

We live in a material world and because of that we live our lives in the context of scarcity. We are called on to work by the necessity of having to provide for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. In the creation story in Exodus God himself is seen as “working”, ultimately creating His greatest […]

Bend over Taxpayers, Here it comes Again

So once again Governor Little and his puppet masters at IACI have screwed the taxpayers of Idaho. As I had said a couple of weeks ago, this was a done deal lame-duck session of the legislature and there was no changing it. If the citizens of our state don’t realize after this special session that […]

RINOs & Progressives vs The Deplorables

Liz Cheney is a wife and a mother. For that she should be respected. I try to find good in everybody and that is all that I got for Liz. She is also her father’s daughter. Like John Kasich, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, George Bush, and Brad Little she is a political “legacy”. Her access […]

Insurrection or Deception to stop Trump’s Reelection

When the Democrats woke up the day after the 2016 presidential election and realized that Donald Trump was the next president of the United States they were not only in shock but fearful that he would expose their terrible corruption in Washington. Trump was the first president that the Washington establishment was afraid of because […]

IACI II

When I woke up Wednesday morning after the election, I was dejected for a couple of hours. Except for Raul Labrador winning the Attorney General Primary, conservatives running for statewide office took a shellacking. We lost much influence in the Idaho House, however, I believe Mike Moyle as Speaker will be a big positive for […]

“Hail Mary” Idaho needs a J.D.Vance

Constitutional conservative Christians are being marginalized by establishment RINOs, a lap dog media, and now their sycophants in government agencies including a minority in our traditional ally—Law Enforcement. In Ohio thanks to the backing and endorsement of Donald Trump, JD Vance overcame a ten-point deficit in three months and won the Republican Primary by ten […]

Time to just take a shower?

Who are we more likely to follow, the smartest person in the room, the cleverest presenter, or the most attractive person? What makes people believe what someone else says? Is it a credential after their name or an association with an ideology or who they are associated with or represent? If a political, cultural, or […]

Assault on the Idaho Freedom Foundation

The fake news and “the swamp” are alive and well in Idaho. For all his faults Donald Trump had the courage and fortitude to confront the corruption in Washington DC. Like a modern-day King Cyrus who helped the Hebrews escape 70 years of captivity and return to their homeland and reestablish the Temple, Mr. Trump’s […]

Honor vs Retribution

Three things make earth unquiet. And four she cannot brook. The godly Agar counted them And put them in a book – Proverbs 30: (Author insert) I watched with sadness and disappointment the Idaho House of Representatives Hearing on the Ethics Committee recommendation for censoring Rep. Priscilla Giddings. The officious sanctimonious stench emanating from the […]

Corruption or Purnell’s Law

As organizations evolve from inception, through incubation, and then to maturity, the creative energy of the entrepreneur and the explorer is often times replaced by a middle manager who is more concerned with maintaining the status quo or market share. Sometimes middle managers become CEOs. We see this happening around us every day. The small […]

Just a Dream

The rumor mill is running full steam ahead in anticipation of the many deals that will be made at the Governor’s Cup in Sun Valley. Allegedly overheard in my dream by a colleague of mine in the steam room at the Downtown “Y” was a conversation about how naive the “Trumpers” are in our State […]
