Week in Review: Medical Freedom and Informed Consent Are Fundamental

By Sarah Clendenon

December 13, 2025

Health and medical freedom, and the issues debated under this umbrella, speak directly to the overarching principles the Founders were so passionate about. You have the right to access holistic healing modalities, practitioners of your choosing, and treatments to heal in the ways you choose. The state and federal governments have no place interfering in […]

The Battle for Health Freedom Isn’t Over: Let’s Fight for Children

By Sarah Clendenon

December 12, 2025

Idaho’s “Medical Freedom Act (MFA)” protects adults from employers, businesses, government agencies, or other entities imposing medical interventions on them, including vaccines. Enacted this past July, the MFA protects adults from being coerced into using medical products, devices, substances, injections, or any technology, in any form. It’s simple — bodily autonomy is a fundamental, God-given […]

Look Up: Your Bodily Autonomy and Property Rights Are Being Attacked From the Sky

By Sarah Clendenon

December 11, 2025

Want to have some fun at your holiday family gathering this year? Ask your fellow party-goers what they think about cloud seeding. Are those lines in the sky merely contrails, or signs of weather modification, or some sort of atmospheric experimentation? You’ll soon find a variety of answers, speculation, opinion, and theory — from genuine […]

It Should Not Be This Difficult to Be Healthy — Especially in Idaho

By Rachel Hazelip, M.A.P.P.

December 10, 2025

Do you think it has become increasingly difficult to maintain good health in America in 2025? Does it ever feel as if the natural or traditional approaches to wellness — such as using holistic medicine, consuming raw milk, eating chemical-free foods, and toxin-free living — are the most regulated, while allopathic (Western) medicine, highly processed […]

In a Stunning Turn of Predictability, the Ford Idaho Center Goes to the College of Western Idaho

By Rachel Hazelip, M.A.P.P.

December 9, 2025

Like Bill Murray waking up to “I Got You Babe,” the Nampa City Council found itself re-living the Ford Idaho Center (FIC) vote last Monday, courtesy of an alleged open-meeting violation. The Council voted 3-3 (Bills, Jangula, and Reynolds voting yes; Griffin, Haverfield, and Rodriguez voting no) on the conveyance, and, shocker, the Tie-Breaker-in-Chief (Mayor […]

Week in Review: The Invasion of Idaho

By Samuel T. Lair

December 7, 2025

The United States of America is in a crisis. For nearly five decades our nation has been under invasion from hordes of foreign nationals who have introduced crime, suppressed domestic wages, driven up the cost of living, overwhelmed our public services, and undermined our culture. Our Founding Fathers warned against the threat mass immigration posed […]

Sanctuary Schools: Illegal Immigration’s Toll on Public Education

By Samuel T. Lair

December 6, 2025

In October 2025, a law enforcement operation at a horse track in Wilder, Idaho, turned into the state’s largest immigration raid, resulting in the arrest of 105 suspected adult illegal aliens. Subsequently, the day following the raid, nearly 20% of students in the Wilder School District were reported absent. This incident reveals how mass immigration […]

Illegal Immigration and Elections: Only Idaho Votes in Idaho

By Ronald M. Nate, Ph.D.

December 5, 2025

And now for some good news on the immigration issue in Idaho. Our laws and our constitutional amendment prohibiting anyone but U.S. citizens from voting in Idaho elections seem to be working. Recall, in 2024, House Joint Resolution 5 (carried by Rep. Kevin Andrus), referred to as "Idaho's only citizens vote measure," passed the Legislature and […]

Idaho's Costly Burden from the Border

By Brett Farruggia

December 4, 2025

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare recently released data showing that outlays for emergency medical services for illegal aliens totaled over $19 million in Fiscal Year 2025, all paid for by Idaho taxpayers. This is just a small portion of the overall medical costs incurred by the state of Idaho, let alone the cost […]

Should We Be Concerned About Idaho Elections?

By Rachel Hazelip, M.A.P.P.

December 1, 2025

Idaho elections look sketchy. The November 4th election seemed to be the gift that kept on giving, and now that it's finally over, we’re officially at the point of questioning whether “free and secure elections” actually means anything at all. Not only did we watch the unfolding of events that looked strikingly like political targeting […]

Week in Review: Make Idaho Sovereign Again

By Rachel Hazelip, M.A.P.P.

November 30, 2025

State sovereignty is a fundamental principle of Americanism and it should be reclaimed by our executive and legislative branches. The 10th Amendment made this principle unmistakable: powers not explicitly delegated to the federal government were reserved for the states and the people. The Founding Fathers instituted a federal system in which state sovereignty serves as […]

Idaho Lands in Idaho Hands

By Rachel Hazelip, M.A.P.P.

November 29, 2025

Is Idaho your “adopted” state? If so, why did you move here? Most people list Idaho’s relatively conservative culture, smaller population, and access to public lands among their answers. Idaho is a state renowned for its vast landscapes, rugged mountains, abundant natural resources, and accessible outdoor recreation; however, we have one of the highest percentages […]
