Throughout the country, leftist activists have successfully infiltrated all aspects of government, media, and business with claims that America is irredeemably racist, and such racism is baked into our political and economic systems. These extremists believe that to combat this “systemic” racism, American systems and ideals must be scrutinized and dismantled. This dismantling includes the elimination of private property, capitalism, and the curtailment of freedom of speech. It means replacing our free society with socialism. Of course, the radical Left and their allies in the media don’t portray it this way; they instead rant and rave about “diversity and inclusion,” believing somewhat accurately that it’s hard to argue with such happy sounding words.

Everyone in Idaho – especially lawmakers, the governor, and members of the State Board of Education – should read Sarah Jo Fendley’s damning $10 million tort claim against Boise State University, which she filed Thursday. Members of the House of Representatives should certainly read Fendley’s complaint before they vote on a budget for Idaho’s colleges and universities, which would pluck a measly $409,000 from BSU’s budget as punishment for its continued institutionalized bigotry. Read the rest here.
Idaho’s legislative budget writers are being dishonest when they say a proposed higher education budget combats the leftist indoctrination happening on college and university campuses. It does not. Not even close. It is true that the Legislature’s budget committee voted to restrict the use of state funds for social justice. But that prohibition does not preclude the schools from accessing other pools of public money to keep funding such programs, rendering the restriction wholly meaningless. Read the rest here.

What if I told you that leftists in our country were busy trying to develop their own version of a utopian government in America? You wouldn’t be terribly surprised. In fact, that’s fairly obvious, right? But what if I told you that the Left had already successfully developed and implemented their warped system of government? And they did it right here in Idaho? It’s happened. It happened 3 years ago, right under everyone’s noses, on the campus of Boise State University.

In a weak attempt to appease Idaho leftists on Tuesday, Gov. Brad Little called for a special legislative session to provide modest tax cuts and dump buckets of new money into Idaho’s broken government school system. At the press conference, Little urged action to help Idaho’s families deal with the effects of inflation. That’s a noble aim, but the governor’s proposal falls woefully short. He and lawmakers should return to the drawing board and come up with some far better solutions for families. Little’s plan, the only bill lawmakers can consider at the September 1 special session, represents a full and complete surrender to Luke Mayville and his socialist activists at Reclaim Idaho. Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin joins IFF President to break it down. Read IFF's response to Little's proposal here.
Gov. Brad Little has surrendered his power to Luke Mayville, the leader of Reclaim Idaho. Wayne talks about the governor's special session, and explains why it will be a total disaster.
