Wireless Industry is Going Local The Wireless Industry is approaching local municipalities to update their wireless ordinances to allow small – in size, not power output – wireless telecommunication facilities (sWTFs) to be located as close as 5 feet from people’s homes. Priest River’s current ordinance requires an offset of 1/10 distance/height in residential ares, and these facilities can be as low as 35 ft high, on lightposts, or even on your neighbor’s home. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules that cap the maximum effective radiated power (ERP) that a Wi-Fi router can output at 0.1 Watts ERP. But these so-called “small” Wireless […]

Dr. Seuss Parody, As He Is Canceled By Laura Ainsworth Happy Birthday to the late, beloved children’s writer, Dr. Seuss! Actually, his birthday was Tuesday, March 2, which in 1998 was dubbed in his honor “Read Across America Day.” So, you’d think this would have been a good day for the memory of Dr. Seuss, author of HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, THE CAT IN THE HAT, GREEN EGGS AND HAM, HORTON HEARS A WHO! and other classics. In stories like THE SNEETCHES, he directly addressed social issues such as racism and tolerance at a time when these concepts were […]

Idaho HB 226 – Preschool Development Grant by Karen Schumacher In the flurry of activity during the current 2021 legislative session, eyebrows were raised over background information that was presented on HB 226 during debate on the House floor, the bill ultimately failing.  This bill would have provided a federal grant in the amount of  $5,980,500 to the Office of the State Board of Education (ISBE) to support development of Idaho’s early childhood care and education system (birth to age 5) with the money being allocated to ISBE partner, Idaho Association for the Education of Young Children (IDAEYC).  Why was […]

Do the Republicans Even Know They Are Losing? A New Strategy Needed by Pete Ketcham In a critical war or battle, the last thing the losing side normally wants to do, is acknowledge that they are  losing. Yet ignoring the reality of losing prevents the losing side from adopting new tactics and strategy to change the situation. Sadly to say, that is the situation the Republicans find themselves in as they battle the godless socialists Democrats for control of this nation. If this situation is to be changed, the first step is the realization that it will be necessary for […]

Conservative nonprofit Heritage Action for America is on Monday expected to announce plans to spend $10 million on a wide-ranging election integrity campaign to strengthen voting laws in eight swing states, according to reports. According to Fox News, the campaign will target Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, Texas, and Wisconsin, with the effort involving such initiatives as digital and television advertisements, as well as direct lobbying of state lawmakers. “Fair elections are essential for every policy debate in the future,” Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson told the outlet in a statement. “We are working to help state lawmakers […]

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday launched a program that would deploy state national guard troops and other agencies to respond to the burgeoning crisis at the southern border. Abbott announced that his office has launched Operation Lone Star, which will deploy air, ground, and marine, and tactical border security assets to prevent Mexican criminal organizations from smuggling drugs and people into Texas. The operation will be launched in collaboration with the state’s Department of Public Safety. “Texas supports legal immigration but will not be an accomplice to the open border policies that cause, rather than prevent, a humanitarian crisis […]

On Wednesday, Democrats in the House passed H.R. 1, the For the People Act of 2021, which was introduced by Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.). The election reform package, if passed by the Senate, would transfer authority over how elections are administered from states to the federal government, subject private citizens, to intimidation and harassment for their private and political beliefs, and make permanent many voting rules that opponents say lead to voter fraud. The 791 page-long H.R. 1 legislation package, which was marked up by members of the 116th Congress, was adopted without much debate. Some provisions, like ensuring that […]

Though I’m a New Zealander, I know America and its people well. I’ve travelled to every state in the Lower 48 and have addressed more than 500 audiences across this amazing nation. My message has always been the same: The United States is heading toward a brutally tyrannical socialist revolution—and if America goes down, every free country follows. Well, now it’s here, people, unfolding before our very eyes. So, what can be done? Can the Republic be saved? Honestly, I don’t know. However, I can suggest some steps that would at least give this country a fighting chance. Continue reading […]

Video: Giddings: ‘You’re paying for social justice to be given . . . to our little ones.’   Rep. Priscilla Giddings, R-White Bird, took a courageous stand on the House floor this week. Giddings revealed that House Bill 226 would have given millions to a left-wing nonprofit that pushes social justice ideology on young kids. Take a moment to watch her compelling House floor address. For background on the spending bill, read IFF Education Policy Analyst Anna K. Miller’s write up on the Association for the Education of Young Children here: https://IDFree.us/H226AM Additionally, please read the Idaho Spending Index analysis […]

30 x 30 – Third of Land and Oceans by 2030 by Karen Schumacher The Colorado Wilderness Act of 2021, H.R. 803, also known as Protecting America’s Wilderness and Public Lands Act, was just passed by the House in Congress and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources by the Senate. This bill includes eight previous individual measures for public land and water protections in Arizona, Colorado, California, and Washington, a total of 1.49 million acres of public land and more than 1,000 river miles.  1.2 million acres of public land would also be withdrawn from new oil […]

Why Readers Don’t Trust the Liberal Media Which Road Is Taken? by Jeremy Conlin Has the Hagadon Corporation, the Daily Bee’s parent company, gone the direction of the Washington Post and the New York Times? A few years ago, the Bee ran an article on a woman touting ABC, NBC, WPO, etc at the top of her reliable news source ratings. Unfortunately for her, shortly after the Covington Catholic High School incident occurred and then Savannah Guthrie attempted to guilt-trip Nicholas Sandmann. Subsequently, we learned that the early press releases were grossly incorrect and that out-of-court settlements were awarded to […]

5G: Citizens Of Idaho Just Say NO! by Karen Schumacher As technology continues to advance society forward with better smart phones, smart appliances, and cars that can drive themselves, satellite broadband internet is one of those technologies raising more questions.  This is the case in Bonner County where citizens have raised objections to the placement of what is called “satellite broadband” that is designed to provide faster internet speed. One individual investing in this newer technology is Elon Musk who has been launching “Starlink” internet satellites into space through his SpaceX program.  In order for these satellites to work efficiently, […]

Preparing For The Hand Wringing As summer in the southern hemisphere is nearing an end, we in the northern hemisphere can expect the traditional onslaught of claims that the ice in Antarctica is decreasing at an alarming rate and coastal cities are endangered by an existential threat. A February 2 article in CFACT, citing an article in “Nature” by scientists at Columbia University and the University of Victoria, British Columbia, who stated “The Antarctic continent has not warmed in the last seven decades…” and “Antarctic sea ice area has modestly expanded.” Of note is the phrase “The Antarctic continent”. Not […]

Prosecuted For Sharing Stickers in Soviet Moscow, Idaho by Shari Dovale We previously told you about the Marxist leaders in Moscow, Idaho, which harassed a group of Christians for psalm-singing in public. Christians Standing Strong in Moscow Idaho Moscow’s liberal-controlled city council gave extended emergency powers to the Democrat Mayor in response to Covid 19(84). They imposed a mask mandate that has been repeatedly extended, with additional rules seemingly designed to simply harass the citizens. For example, the city has threatened to arrest a young student for standing too close to his cousin, published the police department’s non-emergency number as […]

The House Oversight and Reform Committee reissued its subpoena seeking to gain access to President Donald Trump’s financial records, according to a court filing. The subpoena renews a request to Trump’s accounting firm Mazars USA to hand over eight years of financial records involving the former president and his business as part of a probe into allegations about the president’s financial statements. Trump went to the federal court to challenge the original subpoena to block its enforcement shortly after it was issued in April 2019. That subpoena expired in January when new lawmakers took office. Attorneys for each party in […]

Trump Encouragement, Plus Our Action Items One of the most significant demographic shifts in the United States today is the movement of people with fundamental American and Judeo-Christian value systems moving into the inland Pacific Northwest. Particularly, this retreat to higher ground encompasses Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Eastern Oregon, and Eastern Washington. It’s hardly visible, as a strong current under the surface. But it’s there. That, my friends, is the American Redoubt. A stronghold. A safe haven. A refuge. -JJS Listen to more episodes at: Radio Free Redoubt The views, opinions, or positions expressed by the authors and those providing comments […]

Is There a Path to Victory? by Pete Ketcham The political spectrum, stretching from the local school board to the presidency of the United States, is a complex system of laws, policies, and agencies. The local citizen in many cases realizes that there is considerable corruption embedded in this political system, but feel there is little they can do to impact it. Years past the Tea Party movement provided a local conservative public forum for these people, who in some cases were motivated to run for office, testify at senate/house hearings, write & publish articles, campaign for conservative Republican candidates, […]
