We would have to say thanks but no thanks to Representative Mike Moyle’s proposal to cut the top two individual income tax rates and cut the corporate rate from 7.4 to 7.3 percent. As far as the grocery tax goes why are we going to give the hard working citizens of Idaho a $10 dollar […]
Idaho Can Regain Sovereignty America’s greatness used to be really great and today, not so much. Actually we are almost already a second world nation in global competitiveness. Remember, Thomas Jefferson said, ‘The government you elect is the government you deserve.’ The inundation of the socialists’ agenda in schools and universities, the big media and […]
The simple answer is yes we are a nation of laws, but the caveat is were those laws imposed on us by bought and paid for politicians without our consent. Many of our laws are now made and enforced by the bureaucracies like the EPA, the BLM who can have you arrested or fine you […]
PART I The U.S. Gov’t is at war with the American people. Their chief weapon: intimidation. Assisting the government are your foggy-headed, indoctrinated neighbors and co-workers who in essence police each other through shunning those who do not conform – to a paradigm made of misinformation.

The contest, throughout human history, is between those who wield power and those who are subject to it. Once again, we see the monster of power raise its naked head above those it deems to be its subjects. This time it happened within the Republican Party. The ruling elite of the Republican Party no longer […]
“Wind power is devastating populations of rare birds and bats across the world, driving some to the point of extinction.” – Clive Hambler Laced with lies and fueled by delusional dreams of a return to Shangri–La, modern environmentalists and green energy gurus are creating a crisis of epic proportions with the wholesale slaughter of birds […]
Tribal Water Rights There have been long standing disputes regarding Tribal water rights with most court decisions upholding Tribal rights. Some of those cases are outlined in this article. However, there are a few court decisions that have determined the principle of Tribal water rights. The 1908 Supreme Court decision, Winters v United States, was […]
We were all horrified this past summer and fall to see news stories of Planned Parenthood doctors and officials selling the body parts and tissue of aborted babies over salad and glasses of red wine. As if the first video exposing Planned Parenthood were not enough, something like a dozen others revealed ever darker aspects […]
Idaho homeowners are now, today, facing a drop in value of our homes because of oil/gas leases granted by the State in residential subdivisions. As a career executive in the mortgage banking/insurance industry, a key part of my job was determining factors that would cause a mortgage to decline in value and then establishing rules […]
