Republicans And The Big Tent Why Platforms And Standards Matter By Bob Shillingstad The local Coeur d’Alene Press and their various liberal minions that claim to be Republicans have been hollering about Brent Regan and the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee. They accuse the local Republicans of being narrow-minded, radical, traditional conservatives who actually expect those running under the banner of the party to have some adherence to the standards, aka “the party platform.” The latest column in the paper on Saturday, April 24th was written by former State Senator John Goedde. He would like you to believe that no […]

The Florida-based firm that’s overseeing the 2020 election audit in Arizona’s largest county on Friday accused a court of releasing its security plan to the public despite knowing it was meant to be shielded from public view. Cyber Ninjas submitted a slew of documents to the Maricopa County Superior Court in response to a recent ruling by Judge Daniel Martin, who rejected an attempt to file the documents under seal because of their sensitive nature and ordered them filed by 12 p.m. on Thursday. But even the plaintiffs in the case, the Arizona Democratic Party, agreed that one exhibit, which […]

The leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee vowed to “get to the bottom” of mysterious directed-energy attacks dubbed “Havana syndrome,” which are reportedly on the rise and have been linked to brain-damaging injuries. Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and vice chairman Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) confirmed in a joint statement Friday that there is an apparent rise in the incidence of directed-energy attacks on U.S. personnel. “For nearly five years, we have been aware of reports of mysterious attacks on United States Government personnel in Havana, Cuba, and around the world,” Rubio and Warner wrote. “This pattern […]

Michigan is Now a Vaccine Prison Camp by Shari Dovale Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) said this week that she will allow citizens a little freedom only after enough residents submit to receiving a deadly bioweapon being called a Covid Vaccine. This is considered COERCION, forcing people to submit to deadly medical experiments, and goes against the Nuremberg Code. The very first line of the Nuremberg code states: “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.” These deadly injections are experimental treatments that cannot be mandated or forced onto people under U.S. law and FDA regulations. Coercion is […]

Govt Colluded With Big Tech On Election Censorship By Mike Huckabee While we wait for the results of the Maricopa County election audit, there’s more being revealed about how the 2020 presidential election was conducted that should concern us all. This story relates to the hair-splitting some do when it comes to categorizing social media censorship as actual CENSORSHIP; that is, the denial of constitutionally-protected free speech rights. Virtually everyone would agree that if the government does this, it’s censorship. But if a private company such as YouTube or Facebook does it, the argument goes, it isn’t. That’s their business, […]

Critical Race Theory and Carrots by Rep. Karey Hanks It’s an age-old trick: dangling the carrot in front of the donkey to get him to move; in other words, to induce desired behavior. Presently in Idaho, the “carrot” is the millions of dollars in federal grants, which induces acceptance of the accompanying ideologies within the Critical Race Theory and other “social justice” agendas. Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a relatively new term, an addition to social justice (SJ), and is an academic discipline based on Marxist ideology, which was formulated in the 1990s and was mostly constrained to universities until […]

Tomorrow, May 1, Nye County will officially assume control over nearly every aspect of the mitigation and management of the COVID-19 pandemic within its boundaries, with one very notable exception. Despite Nye County commissioners’ unanimous vote to rescind the requirement that its citizens wear masks when interacting with others in a public setting, the statewide mask mandate still stands and Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak has made it clear that any endeavor to sidestep that mandate is null and void. “Nye County received a letter April 27 from the governor’s office thanking Nye County stakeholders for the work invested in developing […]

President Biden addresses Congress (Getty Images via ABC) Joe Biden graduated law school 76th out of 85 students in 1968. Maybe he hasn’t bothered to keep up with the status of jurisprudence since. During his remarks to a joint session of Congress Wednesday evening, he declared, “And no amendment to the Constitution is absolute. You can’t yell ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theater.” Maybe those words with improvised on the fly, because they do not appear in his prepared text. Yes, in 1919 in the case of Schenck v. U.S. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes declared, “The most stringent protection of free […]

An opalescent pendant, the Milky Way cuts a colossal path through the night sky. It is the nebula of our galaxy that has inspired a sense of awe and mystery in humankind throughout history. It was this sense of wonderment that photographer JP Metsavainio hoped to capture with an extreme long-exposure composite image of the Milky Way. But he didn’t want just any picture of the galaxy overhead. The photographer was aiming for something extraordinary. It took Metsavainio 1,250 hours of exposure and nearly 12 years, as reported on his website, to map out in high resolution a vast celestial […]

A new gender discrimination lawsuit claims that Nye County District Attorney Chris Arabia and Commissioner Leo Blundo “began a campaign of harassment and intimidation” against a former prosecutor. Before Ronni Boskovich was fired in 2019, Arabia and Blundo targeted her “in part, because of her father’s political aspirations and her father and step-father’s status as homosexual males,” according to the federal lawsuit. Boskovich also claims that she was fired after she reported sexual harassment against Blundo, who is a close friend of Arabia’s. An ethics complaint was filed against both officials before she was terminated, the court document states. Also […]

Episode 21-13 Vaccine Dangers and USPS Spy On Patriots   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 […]

A Segment Of The Public Does Not Support The School District… By Grace Steward On March 30, The Beacon printed a letter entitled “The levy dilemma.” In it the author stated, “There is a segment of the public that does not support the district…” Actually, an attendee of the March 17 school board meeting said it better. She said “…who don’t like public school.” The reason is not mentioned in the letter. Public schools are being pushed by the National Education Association and the government to teach things that local parents do not want their children taught. A big one […]

Jalon Peters Brings Diversity to Library Board Do you own property? Have you noticed your tax bill increases? Part of the growth comes from “taxing districts.” Those districts house boards whose members are elected by voters. And they hold the power to place tax-raising levies on ballots, and they make blanket policies that may or may not reflect our values. And that’s why participating in the May 18th election is vital. If you’ve been paying any attention to the events of the past year, you’d know that the library board has imposed a mask mandate; that is, anyone who wants […]

Kangaroo Court, Part 2: Idaho Swamp Violates Constitutional Rights  by Shari Dovale The upcoming ethics probe into recent conduct of Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger has all the earmarks of a fascist dictatorship. The Chairman of the Ethics Committee, Rep. Sage Dixon, has signed a letter outlining the Rules of Procedure for the upcoming hearing, scheduled for next week. The Rules are supposed to be based on Rule 45 which govern the committee, yet they have changed enough of the rules to raise alarm. Beginning with the original complaint, it stated quite clearly that the House Leadership waited to file the […]

Make America Good Again by Pete Ketcham Our nation is now suffering the effects of Illogical legislation, riots, mass shootings, degenerate sexual practices, stolen elections, homelessness, child abuse, open border, abortions, pornography, and the list goes on and on. All of these degenerate issues originate from a common source, and that source is the national abandonment of God’s guidance and Christian principles, perpetuated by the Godless indoctrination of the national education system. In the face of all that is going on today, it is important to remember that this nation was founded on the precepts in the constitution, which itself […]
