I have been slow to post these thoughts because many of my fellow Idahoans and many of my coreligionist will take offense, but I have never let controversy get in the way before, so here goes.
Scientific American reported last fall, the drop-off in flu numbers was both swift and universal. Since then, cases have stayed remarkably low. “There’s just no flu circulating,” says Greg Poland, who has studied the disease at the Mayo Clinic for decades. The U.S. saw about 600 deaths from …
Summer is here and like many Idahoans, my weekends are spent camping on Idaho’s vast public lands. The state is blessed with some of the world’s best outdoor adventures, whether it is riding dune buggies in the St. Anthony Sand Dunes or hiking to high mountain lakes to fish.
Wow! It didn’t take Criminal Joe and his gang of Marxist in the White House long to destroy our economy, less than six months. Prices of everything are starting to go through the roof. Even the big Wall Street banks say we are now headed into hyperinflation.
The obvious fall out of months of riots , defunding police, skyrocketing murder rates, and printing money beyond anything in America’s history has been the mass exodus of millions of people to better run states like idaho. Simply ask any realtor. The effect is skyrocketing home values as mor…
As a hunter, I normally keep my eyes on the mountains. In May, however, my focus turns to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s big game proclamations in search of the best hunting tags, which are offered via lottery each spring. Anticipation of the hunt reaches its crescendo each fall, bu…
Soon, we will arrive at the great patriotic day in July, with hopefully a sigh of relief.
People are forever concerned with “change” to any individual or social situation that they’ve been comfortable with in their life patterns of daily living since birth. Often times becoming too reluctant to accept any aspect that may shatter their comfort zone of complacency and disrupt their…
Four years ago, I announced my intention to file for election to the Pocatello City Council. With this letter, I am announcing my intention to seek re-election to that position.
It is important to know the facts that led to the creation of our National Anthem by Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812. The flag is a standard by which war battle victors are determined. That was evident with the British War ships cannon fire assault on Fort McHenry for many hours.
On Friday, May 28, 2021, Gov. Little rescinded an executive order that was issued by Lt. Gov. McGeachin while Gov. Little was out of state. Lt. Gov. McGeachin’s order prohibited any government entity to enact or enforce a mask mandate in the state of Idaho.
If all the Powers That Be approve the creation of a Greater Idaho, taking in the dissident rural counties of Oregon and northern California, there will need to be adjustments to the Idaho legislature. My count of the population of the rural Oregon counties is some 700,000 people. If they we…
My job has me wearing dress shoes more often than boots these days, but that makes me no less appreciative of Senator Mike Crapo’s recent action on behalf of Idaho producers. As the son of a farming family, I want to thank Senator Crapo for choosing to cosponsor the Growing Climate Solutions…
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same”…..this is the oath Senator Risch and Senator Crapo both swore to uphold when they took offi…
Should governments ban thoughts? Usually not. But the rare exceptions are disingenuous thoughts, ideas that commit fraud or deceive. “Try a little meth, you’ll love it.” is a thought we criminalize, for good reason. So what “lie” justifies the Idaho Legislature banning “critical race theory?”
At the Corpus Christi House, our mission is to offer hospitality and refuge to everyone in need. We try not to turn anyone away and rely on the generous support of Idahoans of faith who believe in service to others.
On May 28, 2021, Governor Little issued Executive Order 2021-08, replacing Executive Order 2021-07 which stated that the Idaho State Government cannot require face masks. The Governor also criticized the replaced Executive Order. He said that a mask mandate was never issued on a statewide le…
The May 28 vote in the Senate was a perfect example of how a majority can lose an election. By a vote of 54 to 35 Americans watched as a silent minority was able to block a majority without most of the no votes not having to explain why they voted that way. The filibuster has too long allowe…
I would like to believe that this is the last time I write about COVID-19 and facemasks, as the number of folks getting vaccinated has grown and those infected has dropped dramatically. I want to thank all the local health care personnel that worked tirelessly throughout the past year and a …
So many things have changed in the last five years that the most profound occurrence in American history may be something that some even today deny has happened. It seems that one man had become so full of “Power” he enraged his own political Party and Urban Terrorists that listened to his s…
