Vaccine Mandates Should Be Banned   A Guest Opinion by Ed Humphreys GOP Candidate for Idaho Governor Idaho’s Legislature will resume the session on November 15th. My most sincere hope is for the Legislature to pass a bill to protect Idahoans from big corporations and “special-interest science.” Our elected leaders need to make vaccine-mandates illegal! We are inundated with hordes of subject matter experts who are so arrogant in their beliefs they feel entitled to make medical decisions for other individuals and families. It’s deeply disturbing to see these experts refuse to accept any remote probability they could be wrong. […]

Idaho Education Officials Plot To Hide Racist ‘Social Emotional Learning’ From Parents   By Wayne Hoffman It’s not a tax increase. It’s a “revenue enhancement.” It’s not massive new government spending. It’s an “investment.”  It’s not critical race theory. It’s “culturally responsive teaching.”  This politician is not a liberal. He’s a “common-sense conservative.”  Folks in government have a horrible habit of conjuring up all sorts of euphemisms to describe the things they know you won’t like.  The latest bit of word sorcery comes from an Idaho state agency that has some expertise on political spin: the Department of Education, which […]

Hamas Again Threatens John Guandolo and UTT by John D. Guandolo The designated Foreign Terrorist Organization Hamas doing business as CAIR stepped out again and threatened UTT President John Guandolo.  They must be getting bored with harrassing and threatening UTT Vice President John Bennett these days. Monday, Hamas’ National U.S. office (CAIR), along with their Dallas affiliate, identified John as an “Islamophobe,” and specifically called for a local group in Dallas to cancel tonight’s scheduled presentation by Understanding the Threat. When a representative of a sharia adherent jihad/terrorist group – Hamas – identifies a person as being an Islamophobe, that […]

As part of a homeschool civics class comprised of students in the 7th through 10th grade levels, students were asked to write opinion editorials on topics of their own choosing which reflect current themes in governance and policy-making.  Over the course of the next few weeks the class will be tracking the views of and commentary on their op-eds with the goal of generating as much meaningful community engagement as possible.  A prize will be awarded to the student who is most successful at generating meaningful community engagement with their op-ed.

Sandpoint Local Option Tax When the previous, 5-year Local Option Tax expired last December, we suspected it would be only a matter of time before a new one would surface.  Less than a year later, here we are. As in 2015, Mayor Rognstad rushed this tax proposal through at record speed.  Some Council members voiced concerns about why now, and why so fast? The Mayor and City Administrator were ready with an answer: get in line for more federal funds; fight COVID; and improve mental health.  In other words, digging deep to find something, anything, to justify a $13 million […]

Local Option Tax: Not Right Now The Local Option Tax of 1% for seven years is a totally inappropriate use of our taxpayer finances at this difficult time. The $13 million to be raised will go into City accounts, while the personal budgets of many taxpayers are already as lean as possible. Burdened by business closures, job losses, record high housing prices, and rampant inflation, everyone’s income takes a hit if this newly finished 2020 Sandpoint Parks and Recreation Master Plan becomes a reality. Although worthy in a better economy, the recreation-centered plan for more parks, trails and waterfront projects […]

Peters Will Bring Accountability to LPOSD Board After the permanent school levy was “won” via an illegal ballot, a few concerned citizens and I formed Idaho Tax Watch to help support a legal challenge to the “win.” We sat in a courtroom watching as the school board incumbent fought to keep it, sending a message to students that cheating is ok as long as you don’t get caught; and if you do get caught, fight to keep what you illegally obtained. Fast forward to a recent forum where he claimed he doesn’t support relying on property taxes, even though he […]

Idaho Voter Integrity   by Rep. Heather Scott In a day and age of ever increasing societal moral rot, it is certainly possible and highly likely that voter fraud occurred in the last election cycle.  While the national debate on forensic audits and voter integrity continues to make the headlines, many are searching for answers and solutions from government to address problems and discrepancies in our election system.  Thanks for watching my recent video to hear my thoughts on this issue.  Helpful links related to the video above: * Here is a link to an article discussing Mark Zuckerberg’s $400 […]

Much Misinformation About Suppiger Examining the website of Gary Suppiger, who is running for a second term on the LPOSD school board, I found a number of discrepancies in his statements, easily identified with minimal research. Here are some of the glaring examples: * His website unequivocally states, “I do not support a mask mandate in our schools.” His track record proves the opposite: time and again he voted for an LPOSD mask mandate. Last year, it was in the unanimous vote of the board of trustees to impose the original mandate, followed by at least one other unanimous vote […]

Return To The Founding Principles by Pete Ketcham For many years the conservative Republicans have consistently exposed the unconstitutional criminal actions of the liberal Democrats. They have formed conservative political pacts, conservative websites, movements such as MAGA, TeaParty, etc in their fight against the criminal Democrats. As the result of all these efforts over the years, logic would indicate the Republicans would be in control of at least one of the three (Senate, House, Presidency) today, but as we know they are not in control of any of them, and we now find ourselves submerged under the illegal, illogical agenda […]

U.S. Air Force Promotes Rep. Priscilla Giddings to Lt. Colonel Rep. Priscilla Giddings has demonstrated a great trust among the people of Idaho. She continues to fight for the issues that are most important to the people of her state. The United States Air Force has also shown their confidence and trust in this outstanding example of integrity. Boise, ID – State Representative Priscilla Giddings (R-Dist.7), a White Bird resident and veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, has been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force Reserves. Currently, Lt. Colonel Giddings is attached to the U.S. Air […]

St Lukes Staffing Falling Short – Mandate is a Factor By J.D. Pitt On Monday, Oct. 18, Idaho Governor Brad Little visited St. Luke’s Magic Valley Medical Center, where he found a hospital fairly well staffed. Except that, according to hospital personnel, the staff he observed included off-duty personnel who were given incentive pay to be on site, and also FEMA personnel. The staffing shortage is no secret. The St Luke’s website states, “Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has activated crisis standards of care statewide” and patients “may experience delays in ERs, hospitals and clinics.” The shortage has been […]

Covid Authoritarians Are The Cause Of America’s Problems, Not The Unvaccinated By Brandon Smith It’s an odd dynamic – One would think that if the covid vaccines were a generally benevolent program that actually “followed the science” then there would be no need to pile drive the public with an endless barrage of vax propaganda. After all, if science and morality are on the side of the covid cult then the rest would naturally take care of itself and the overwhelming majority of Americans would have already voluntarily taken the experimental mRNA cocktail without any threats required. And, if some […]

Vice President Kamala Harris used the white ring around Lake Mead as a visual for her claim that the federal government must spend trillions of dollars to combat climate change. In reporting on the Monday event, the morning newspaper flatly stated, “Over the past 20 years, Lake Mead’s water level has declined by about 150 feet amid climate change-fueled drought conditions.” Or might the current conditions be a return to normal after about of century of wetter than normal? According to a 2006 University of Arizona study of 508 years of tree ring data, the past 100-year period was wetter […]

Coming Mandate Disaster by Pete Ketcham Each and ever major policy decision of the Biden administration invariably turns out to be a disaster for the American people. It is very possible that the coming repercussions from the vaccine mandates could be a greater disaster than the present border disaster. Thousands of vital personnel (who reject the vaccination) and are being dismissed from their jobs in law enforcement, medical care, transportation, factory manufacturing, food production, and many more areas of production. This could create a health and economic crises (combined with other ongoing crises) that could possibly equal the Great Depression […]

A Desperate Biden Administration Turns to Terrorism by Daniel McAdams For Americans watching the shocking re-Nazification of Germany – where once again the ability to even buy food depends on a person’s physiological/medical status – it may be tempting to downplay the re-emergence of a nasty German political virus and scoff that, “it can’t happen here!” But it is happening here.  The Biden Administration is sinking under the weight of its feeble figurehead, who is clearly living in a world of his own creation rather than living on planet reality. As Biden’s approval ratings plummet to near-historic depths, the people who […]

Why I’m Voting for Frytz Mor   I have had the opportunity to hear Frytz Mor speak on several occasions and have also spoken with him directly. I am heartily supporting him for a number of reasons. One of the most compelling reasons is that Frytz is against public/private partnerships. I have seen these abused in our city. The “business incubator” is a prime example. The city obtained grant money to open a business incubator and commercial kitchen. This allowed innovation and entrepreneurship in our town. Unfortunately, the city was wooed by a business whose parent company was in Buffalo, […]
