Left-leaning state Supreme Court gets initiative wrong, endangering Idaho
It’s not surprising that the Idaho Supreme Court ruled against a new law requiring more uniform collection of petition signatures in order for an initiative to qualify for the ballot. What is shocking is how badly the court twisted itself into knots to justify its decision to the satisfaction of...

Education officials plot COVID-19 tests while showing little concern for academic performance

Vaccine mandate should be viewed as assault, invasion of privacy

Socialism will be 2022's defining issue

BSU law firm report is more media ploy than investigation into indoctrination
It should be obvious that Boise State University’s “independent” investigation into problems with the school’s mandatory racism and intolerance class known as University Foundations 200 was just a public relations ploy. Launching the investigation got lawmakers temporarily off BSU’s back while…

Teachers, parents, and kids need Idaho lawmakers to put an end to public school indoctrination

Episode 38: Could acceptance of federal money derail tax relief?
It’s the middle of March, and the Idaho Legislature still hasn’t done anything to provide meaningful tax relief to Gem State residents. And now, there’s a possibility that waiting this long means the state won’t be able to collect $1.89 billion from the federal government’s COVID relief package…
