I cherish several great pictures of LaVoy. My favorite is LaVoy sitting astride his horse with his flag stretched out in the wind above the Bundy Ranch standoff.

The first three weeks of the 2016 legislative session are in the books. As usual, it is a very busy time. Week one began with the Legislative Session being officially opened and the Governor delivering his State of the State address to a joint session of the Idaho Legislature.

Hello! This is Darrell Castle. Today we’re going to continue our discussion of “how the rule of law in Western civilization met its demise in the west, and how that’s a terrible thing from which the United States may never recover.” I was going to use the president’s State of the Union speech as a […]
