May God Bless America Is it possible that America is seeing the rebirth of the silent majority? Well, it would seem so after the public’s reaction to Budweiser’s latest commercial promoting Bud Light with a transgender spokesperson. Not to be outdone, Target has also seen the plush back in their stores that were featuring transgender […]
Wow! Have we ever been hit with attacks on our culture! What do we mean by “our culture” or a “culture war”? Day by day, year by year, what once was unthinkable has now become celebrated, and even protected by law. Meanwhile, what was once virtuous or admired is seen as hateful and backwards. The […]
Five days ago, a Boise junior high teacher and basketball coach was charged with the rape and sexual battery of a minor child. Eric McDermott first groomed his victim in class and then over a social media “dating site,” where he asked the boy to send sexually explicit photos. Sadly, McDermott’s conduct has become all […]
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 […]
In July of 2022, the Republican Party gathered in Twin Falls for our summer convention to elect new leadership of the party.

Violent activists entered the capitol building — vandalizing public facilities, threatening legislators, assaulting law enforcement, and interrupting official proceedings. Some readers might be thinking of January 6, 2021. But the sentence above actually describes events that took place this week, at the statehouse in Nashville, Tennessee. Radical leftists, some wearing satanic garb, stormed the Tennessee […]
Christians and those who follow traditional Hebrew theology understand very basic principles. God made us. God made us in His image. We cannot change the form or spirit in which He made us. To think otherwise would be to put ourselves above God and put us at odds with His Will. I spent the last […]

Someone has defined education as “that which is done to prepare a child for life”. If that is truly the definition, then our schools are doing a terrible job. Many kids graduate from school believing somehow that the world owes them a living; that they have a right to a good income, whether they happen […]
The Redefining of Gender Dysphoria Across Idaho there has been much consternation over the inclusion of LGBT policies in schools, parental rights not being upheld, children being able to access literature on LGBT issues, and activities promoting an LGBT lifestyle. Many Idahoans believe all of this is an act of grooming for inappropriate behavior, a […]
CRT = Can’t Rely on Teachers Our country has done very well for the past 247 years without the Wokeness, CRT, and Transgendreism being introduced into our public education system, colleges, and corporate culture. Since its inception, it has done nothing but cause a huge amount of angst among parents, students, educators, and school board […]
The Governor’s state of the state speech was full of platitudes with a large part devoted to talking about Idaho’s education system. Unfortunately, Idaho still ranks number 43 in education.
