February 26, 2021
It’s hard to believe this, but several lawmakers have confirmed for me that there’s a plan to raise gas taxes on Idahoans during this legislative session. The word is that the proposal is to raise the tax by as much as 10 percent on the state’s already-high assessment of 32 cents per gallon. The good […]

Lawmakers cannot avoid responsibility to defund leftist extremism at Idaho’s public colleges and universities

By Wayne Hoffman
February 22, 2021
Idaho lawmakers have only one job each and every year: deciding how much money to take out of the economy to run whatever government program they decide to fund. Media distractions to the contrary, this is the job, and lawmakers aren’t very good at it. They’re focused on evading responsibility so they upset no one […]

Idaho’s universities discriminate based on sex, foster tokenism, harm successful women

By Anna Miller
February 17, 2021
A number of programs and scholarships at the University of Idaho and Boise State University appear on their face to discriminate on the basis of sex.

Fact check: Tromp claims Boise State is not a Social Justice University

By Anna Miller
February 12, 2021

By Wayne Hoffman
February 5, 2021
Yet again, it’s time for the Statist of the Week! Now remember, a statist is someone who believes that government is the answer to all our problems.

GOP head honchos run oligarchy, keep conservative ideas at bay

By Wayne Hoffman
February 5, 2021
Here’s a state with big Republican supermajorities in the House and Senate and an all-Republican executive branch. And in this state, every bill is guaranteed a committee hearing and a floor vote. Every last one. I’m, of course, not talking about Idaho.  It’s North Dakota. Idaho’s Legislature is an entirely different beast, though its political […]

How social justice silences

By Anna Miller
February 2, 2021
Higher education is a unique institution founded on the ideal of genuine commitment to unfettered intellectual exploration.  Over the past decades, though, activists on college campuses have diverted university resources toward  enforcing complete intellectual and ideological conformity to social justice theory. This ideology has grown enough to infect the procedural workings, administrative culture, curriculum, and […]
