OPINION: Back to College

On Tuesday it was my great honor to participate in the Electoral College as one of Idaho’s four electors. Most people have heard about the Electoral College, with the path to 270, and have heard pundits praise and bemoan its existence. But how does it all work and how does someone become an elector?

OPINION: The demise of identity politics

“Identity Politics” is a blanket expression covering elements such as Social Justice, Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), Cultural Sensitivity, Implicit Bias, Critical Race Theory, Tokenism, Structural Inequality, etc. where the focus is to classify individuals into ever shrinking groups based on some attribute. The very nature of Identity Politics dooms it to ultimately fail. The only question is how many institutions it will drag to their demise.

OPINION: Big stick energy

"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far" - Theodore Roosevelt

Now that the North Idaho College trustee election is over we can set aside the rhetoric and review the facts.

OPINION: Trump flashback

I wrote this in December 2015, nearly a year before Trump was elected the first time. How did it age?

OPINION: Democracy needs election standards

Design is destiny; the standards we set determine the quality of what we achieve. Our Constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government relies on free, fair, and honest elections to select our representatives and leaders.

OPINION: They told us

They told us that Trump’s 2016 win was not legitimate and the result of Russian interference. Turns out that the Russia conspiracy was invented by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

OPINION: Evaluating polls

In the run-up to the November election we are bombarded by polls allegedly telling us how the candidates are doing. Results often vary widely which makes it confusing and difficult to understand the true situation. If you know how polls are done and what the numbers really mean you can better evaluate the information.

OPINION: DEI would strangle North Idaho College

It is a Darwinian fact that North Idaho College, or any organization which embraces Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI) is doomed. I will explain why.

OPINION: Candidate recommendations

The Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) held a special meeting on Tuesday to review the candidates for the November election and then to vote by secret ballot on which candidates the KCRCC would recommend.

OPINION: Why RCV is BAD

Ranked Choice Voting will be on the ballot in November as Proposition 1, but what is RCV and what will it do to Idaho and you?

OPINION: Prop 1 fact check

About a third of all the visitors to the Republican tent at the North Idaho Fair had no idea about Proposition 1 and were unaware it was going to be on the November ballot. So what is Prop 1 and why should they or you care.

OPINION: Ignorant, brainwashed or lying

When I hear a progressive say something that is obviously untethered from the truth I consider whether that person is ignorant, brainwashed or lying. Ignorant if they simply do not know the truth. Brainwashed if they have been convinced their fiction is fact. Lying if they know the truth, but simply chose to ignore reality.

OPINION: True cost of Prop 1

Do you want Idaho to spend $40 million dollars on new electronic vote tabulation machines made by Dominion Voting Systems? According to the Secretary of State, Phil McGrane, if Proposition 1 passes this may be our new reality.

OPINION: Democrat democracy

From the president on down, the Democrats have been claiming that Donald Trump will “end democracy.” There are two problems with this claim. One is that they won’t say HOW Trump would end democracy and the other is they don’t tell us what they mean by “democracy.”

OPINION: Lather rinse repeat

Most of the country is brainwashed and about half are severely brainwashed to the extent that they no longer operate in reality. Of course, YOU are not brainwashed…or are you? How could you tell? Here is a test.

OPINION: Natural born leader

“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five Years, and have been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.” The Constitution of the United States, Section I of Article II.

OPINION: Trifecta of lies

Biden’s now infamous performance in the presidential debate was devastating to the media narrative and a shock to those they had brainwashed. Biden supporters were confronted with the fact that their media outlets had been lying to them for years and that Joe Biden was significantly cognitively compromised. Subsequent Biden-isms that could have been dismissed are now on full display as the supports and donors rush for the exits.
