Fair. It’s one of the most debated words in the political lexicon, and one that can be used as a euphemism to dupe unsuspecting listeners into supporting policies that hurt. Case in point: Later this month, Idahoans for a Fair Wage, a left-wing group led by a Democratic community organizer, will launch a ballot initiative […]
I’m taking up a collection. We need to send Idaho lawmakers to school. I’m not talking about college, but rather Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, which teaches wise fiscal management.

This week, the Post Register’s Editorial Board wrote an article calling me out by name saying, “Who do they think they are?” I have a question for the Board, “Just who do you think you are?” Your editorial shows you have contempt for our Constitution, disdain for those who assert their constitutional rights, and a […]
A Bonneville County democrat operative, precinct captain, and state committeeman recently wrote a letter to the editor using the parable of the “Good Samaritan” to push for Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion.
