The power-seekers and opportunists agitating for Ranked Choice Voting and an Open Primary claim to be the adults in the room. What does that say about how they see us?

Turns out the the rumors we've heard about RINOs roaming freely through the Idaho Statehouse are true. And apparently it's happening in a number of other Red states as well.

From covid reporting to labeling everything "racist" or "disruptive," we must be willing to push back against the narrative ourselves. Because corporate media isn't going to do it.

The uproar over a boy with a Gadsden flag on his backpack and the recall of two school board members in North Idaho have a common thread. They both illustrate how committed left-wing ideologues are to having unfettered access to our kids' minds.

Somewhere beneath that benevolent façade of teaching "tolerance & inclusion" is a much darker agenda being forced on Idaho school children. This episode explores why the leftists are desperate to maintain their grip on Idaho's education system.

Why do the elected officials and people who favor freedom find themselves labeled as "extreme" by activists and the media? It's the frustration of people who need to be in control of others.

How can you tell a leader from those who are simply being led by the nose? Look at who is being attacked and who is being supported by the corporate media.

From hate crimes to providing obscene material to kids in school and public libraries, there's a real problem with individuals in authority who cannot tell the truth.
