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.

Zito, Kingsley and IFF President Wayne Hoffman talk State of the State address, education, Medicaid expansion, and much more.

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.

A north Idaho student named Travis Lohr says his public school punished him for saying there are only two genders, and now he might not be allowed to walk in his graduation from Kellogg High School.

It’s not surprising that the Idaho Supreme Court ruled against a new law requiring more uniform collection of petition signatures in order for an initiative to qualify for the ballot. What is shocking is how badly the court twisted itself into knots to justify its decision to the satisfaction of the state’s leftists. Contrary to what the court said, the true story of the state’s constitutional amendment allowing for direct democracy starts in 1911. This is when the Legislature took up, in earnest, the “progressive” era’s goal to let the people propose and pass laws at the ballot box. But lawmakers got stuck on two key details: how many signatures should be required to put a question before voters, and what threshold should be required for passage. Lawmakers even contemplated an 80% threshold for passage. Read the rest here: https://IDFree.us/CourtR

In this exchange with Senator Tammy Nichols during a Senate Education Committee hearing, Idaho State Superintendent of Public Instruction flatly rejected support for Education Savings Accounts. "I am not prepared to be an advocate for public funds going to private schools. That does not take away from a parents ability to choose to send their child to a private school."

ISBA's Quinn Perry says the measure will have unintended consequences. Um, ok.

A new audit released this week confirms that the Idaho Dept. of Health and Welfare has gone completely rogue, ignoring the express wishes of the Legislature and acting as if they are completely unaccountable to lawmakers or constituents.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ron Nate is doing everything he can to repeal Idaho's grocery tax and Scott Bedke is doing everything he can to keep this immoral tax.

The Idaho Dept. of Health and Welfare is out of control. They seem to ignore legislative intent with impunity, raking in millions of dollars from Idaho taxpayers and national grants, then redistribute those to left-wing causes. What's going on?

The push to enact open primaries and ranked choice voting in Idaho sounds like a political version of an unfaithful spouse saying, "I think we should see other people."

Rep. Priscilla Giddings is a threat to Idaho's political establishment and that's largely why she was hauled before the House Ethics Committee. Giddings stopped by the IFF office to chat with our Emri Moore about the process and what the committee and media got wrong.

Rep. Tammy Nichols said Tuesday that while she supports a tax reduction bill proposed by Gov. Little, she would like to see bigger, more ambitious cuts and reforms. Nichols, in her second term, suggested the committee take up grocery tax repeal and property tax reform in the 2022 legislative session.

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.

The Idaho Dept. of Health & Welfare is in legal hot water and the West Bonner County School District is about to become the scene of a leftist uprising. Why are the functionaries so restless right now? Tune in and find out.

California governor Gavin Newsome was in Idaho recently and he has some fervent disciples in the political class and corporate media trying to help him convert the rest of us via our government schools and primary elections.

Control over how money is created, spent, and distributed is at the crux of the Left’s legal and cultural takeover of the United States. With the free market circumventing this tyrannical control through the adoption of Bitcoin, Idaho lawmakers should consider legislative action to protect this innovation in financial freedom.

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.
