Idaho Swamp Trying To Unseat Another Conservative by Shari Dovale The Saga of the Idaho Legislative Swamp continues with accusations being made against Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger by Ms. Jasmine Vega, a former page for the Idaho House. Let’s start with the background info for the current allegations: Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger Rep. von Ehlinger is serving the people of Nez Perce and Lewis Counties. He is unmarried. A young single adult woman, 18 year old Jasmine Vega, initiated a dinner date with Rep. von Ehlinger. The date took place on March 9, 2021. During this date, Vega relayed stories […]

Vilification and Demonetization of the Police by Pete Ketcham Law and order in large Democrat controlled cities across the nation is crumbling as the protest rioters (BLM & Antifa) have now determined that the local police force will be defunded, reduced, and stripped of qualified immunity (the protection of being sued or prosecuted for individual police action). The immediate response to the preceding statement by most people, would be:… these criminals marching in the streets have no legal or legislative authority to determine anything concerning city government, and that would be true, but they have successfully used their violent and […]

Chauvin Trial: Prosecution Withholds Evidence From Defense by Shari Dovale After watching multiple Federal criminal trials, we have seen repeated cases of prosecutors pulling shenanigans on the defense in order to win their cases at any cost. These scheming prosecutors are not concerned with defendants rights, the Constitution or even Due Process. The multiple Bunkerville cases in Las Vegas are a prime example of the unethical and illegal tricks perpetrated by the prosecution. These games led to the cases being thrown out of court by the very judge that was doing everything in her power to assist the prosecution in […]

Enough! This Is What Domestic Terrorism Looks Like By Mike Huckabee The people who attended President Trump’s January 6 rally, some of whom got out of hand and entered the Capitol Building –- and a few of whom got WAY out of hand and confronted Capitol Hill police –- have been labeled “domestic terrorists.” This narrative is now used as pretext for virtually everything the left wants to do to take control, including all-out assaults on free speech (at least for conservatives), election law and the Second Amendment, even though not one firearm was confiscated among the rally protesters. Proudly […]

Biden Administration Directly Aiding & Abetting Hamas Terrorists   by John D. Guandolo Sources inside the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report to Understanding the Threat (UTT) that FEMA and DHS officials participated in a private webinar last Friday (April 9th) hosted by the designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) Hamas, doing business as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) which was attended by leaders of prominent U.S. Islamic jihadi organizations. The purpose of this webinar was for these government officials to give precise details to the hostile U.S. Islamic Movement on how to obtain U.S. government grant money […]

The Coming Government Avalanche by Rep. Heather Scott Idaho folks are generally less fearful than others around the country, but even Idaho citizens are getting jittery about whether the majority of their elected officials will step up and defend those rights and liberties we hold so dear. The overt and covert governmental and globalist assaults on our nation, state, and citizens, has been staggering, and there is good reason to be jittery. If you are depending on your elected state and local politicians/leaders to protect you, you could be making a big mistake.    The coming avalanche is churning with federal gun restrictions; forced vaccines;  immunization […]

Vote for Thomas Fletcher for the board of Northern Lights. You may have noticed campaign signs scattered along the roads from Sagle to Athol stating that the NLI employees support the reelection of Dave Pemberton. I think it is appropriate for an employee to personally endorse a board member.  However, for a collective of employees to announce to the public their support implies something very different.  The board of directors represents NLI customers, not the employees.  Consequently, one of the cardinal rules of the relationship between a board of directors and management of a company rests in a strict separation […]

“No Harm No Foul”? By Jeremy Conlin The February issue of “Imprimis” contains a lengthy commentary by Scott W Atlas, MD about the effects of the shutdowns and about masks. A question arises concerning a physician’s mandate to “First do no harm”. Given what we are continuing to learn about the COVID-19 virus there is room to ask: Was the cures worse than the bite? “Those who insist that universal mask usage has absolutely proven effective at controlling the spread of the COVID virus and is universally recommended according to ‘the science’ are deliberately ignoring the evidence to the contrary.” […]

Simpson Should Put Idaho First and Do No Harm Editorial by Bryan Smith The expression “first do no harm” is a popular phrase often attributed to the Hippocratic oath taken by doctors. The idea is that it may be better to do nothing rather than intervening and causing more harm than good. The Hippocratic oath taken by dentists includes a similar promise to do no intentional harm to patients. That’s why it’s so surprising that Congressman Mike Simpson, a dentist, would seek to do intentional harm to Idahoans with his plan to remove four hydroelectric dams on the Lower Snake […]

  The Next Wave of Segregation Various corporate franchises are touting their plans for a Vaccine Passport. This passport will be awarded to the patrons who go along with whatever the medical elites recommend. Right now, they are recommending that all need to get the current experimental COVID Vaccine. There will be no exceptions. Since when do the corporate elites get to dictate medical decisions? If they can do this, what else will they be requiring? Governor’s DeSantis of Florida and Abbott of Texas are not putting up with the Vaccine Passport plan, and have set in motion plans to […]

Vaccine Passports Were Always The Goal by Shari Dovale It seems that every time the Left spews their “Conspiracy Theory” rhetoric, we just get proven correct. And it has happened Again! We have warned about the vaccine passports being used against the citizens, brandishing it as required for travel, commerce and even gathering in public. We have been told that it couldn’t happen and it wouldn’t happen. However, as is also normal, the left begins to admit the truth as we have said it. Pretending as if they haven’t denied this goal, they are now admitting that vaccine passports have […]

Pay-To-Play is Okay For Newsom by Shari Dovale ’60 Minutes’ highlighted their Leftist Bias and Propaganda recently when they attempted to stir antagonism toward Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. As is typical, they didn’t bother with facts, they just spewed innuendo and created rumor, and they got caught. Even the Leftwing radical MSM had to admit that CBS fell flat on their faces, though they tried to spin it as just a “sloppy moment”, it was proven to be intended as a serious Hit Piece. The story centered around DeSantis campaign contributions, and whether he engaged in the highly unethical “pay-to-play” […]

More New Normal: Omnichannel Living by Shari Dovale If you have never heard of the term, look it up and find some very long definitions that don’t really explain much of anything. Omnichannel (also spelling as omni-channel or omni channel) is defined as a cross-channel sales approach that companies use to connect the multiple sales channels and fused them in one to provide their customers a seamless & consistent shopping experience regardless of shopping in a bricks and mortar store, by the telephone or on an online website or mobile app. Basically, this is moving the world to life as […]

Victory Against Social Justice Indoctrination! By Rep. Ronald Nate Wednesday, the House of Representatives sent a thunderous message about purging Social Justice indoctrination and activism from Idaho public university campuses by voting down the Higher Education budgets bill (S1179) on a 13-57 vote.  A prominent theme throughout this legislative session is what to do about the Social Justice (Critical Race Theory) indoctrination polluting Idaho public universities. While the State Board of Education is charged with over-seeing our universities, the Idaho Legislature controls the budgets and spending on higher education.  That is our tool for protecting students and institutions. The House […]

Biden Nominates First Muslim to Federal Bench by John D. Guandolo Joe Biden announced the nomination of Zahid Quraishi, a practicing muslim, to be a magistrate judge for the District of New Jersey. If confirmed, Quraishi will be the first muslim federal judge in American history. All authoritative Islamic doctrine, from the highest levels of Islamic jurisprudence to the most widely used text book in U.S. Islamic junior high schools (What Islam is All About) states the purpose of Islam is to wage war until “allah’s divine law”/sharia is imposed on every human on earth. What Islam is All About […]

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita said on Wednesday that he will be scrutinizing five big tech companies that might have potentially caused harm to Indiana consumers through “abusive, deceptive and/or unfair” practices. The five companies to be scrutinized by Rokita are Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Twitter. The attorney general is particularly looking into procedures that allegedly restrict consumers’ access to specific content, referring to the deletion or obscuring of conservative posts. “In a free society, few assets are more important to consumers than access to information and the opportunity to express political viewpoints in meaningful forums,” Rokita said. “It […]

Critical Race Theory Did Not Suddenly Arrive In The Classroom by Rep. Judy Boyle As many of you know, the legislature has been learning about and focusing on how the Marxist movement of Critical Race Theory (CRT) has infiltrated American public schools. CRT is being used to divide our nation and create great distrust and even hate among the races of people who make up our “melting pot” of Americans. Students are being taught to feel guilty and ashamed of their identity, race, family, and ancestors instead of valuing and respecting the individual regardless of race, gender, religion, or economic […]

America’s Frontline Doctor: Simone Gold by Shari Dovale Covenant Church in Spokane, Washington recently hosted the founder of America’s Frontline Doctors, Dr. Simone Gold. Gold, along with the other doctors, came to the attention of the country after holding a press conference in front of the US Supreme Court Building. The press conference was referred to as the “White Coat Summit.” Dr. Gold spoke of the “Wuhan Virus”, and explained that science has always referred to diseases through the locations where they are discovered. Reference the “Spanish Flu,” “West Nile Virus,” and “Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever” as well as dozens […]
