Truth requires understanding that the power-seekers and opportunists around us are carefully omitting crucial information you'll need to make informed decisions.

Fiscal Fridays is back after a short break. Niklas explains how the federal government, by supplying more than 40% of our state budget, is literally buying Idaho, forcing us to bend to the will of DC bureaucrats.

Nothing upsets members of the corporate press like being upstaged by mere "citizen" counterparts willing to report unpopular truths. We' share some notable examples in today's episode.

Government roadblocks have created a shortage of good doctors in Idaho. Deregulation will not only help aspiring physicians achieve their dreams, but improve costs and availability for Idaho families.

Trust in science, education, corporations and media is falling, yet the narrative managers can't quite understand why.

Protests against Brandon Durst's appointment to school Superintendent in West Bonner County. Teachers unions pronoun work kits. A federal civil rights commissar for Idaho. All are examples of leftist solutions desperately looking for a problem.

Under a shroud of good intentions, government regulations often hurt the very people they intend to help. This is because the bureaucratic hurdles created by regulations cause the free market to become lethargic, which stunts simple solutions to large-scale problems. Today, we look into how Idaho has successfully used deregulation by expanding the prescription authority for pharmacists.

Too much of the legacy media exists to elevate narrative over facts. Learn how to see through their deception in today's episode.

Nothing triggers disciples of the woke borg like someone refusing to be assimilated. A high school senior and a bus driver in Shoshone County recently learned this the hard way.

On Friday, June 2, 2023, Kellogg School District bus driver Dakota Mailloux brought his American flag to a protest in support of high school senior Travis Lohr, who had been sanctioned for saying "guys are guys and girls are girls". Mailloux was summarily fired by district leadership. Despite the district maintaining that this action had nothing to do with Mailloux's freedom of speech, this audio that Mailloux recorded shows that he absolutely was fired because he took a stand for Travis.

How much money would be enough for government-run public schools? How much does the truth need to be controlled to protect the official narrative? For statists, the answers to both questions is, it's never enough.

For families and businesses, reaching the limits of your budget means cutting back on spending. For government, however, it means digging into the taxpayer trough. Niklas takes a look at how government bureaucrats hide spending increases under cover of "supplementals".

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.

Wayne Hoffman sat down with Jason Pierce, mayor of the city of Eagle, to discuss how conservative philosophies guide the way he leads the city, and how city leadership must balance the demands for amenities with the need to maintain individual freedom.

Why are increasing numbers of Americans starting to see the media as an enemy of the people? Maybe it's because the media is busy portraying advocates of limited government as public enemies.

From out of control spending to propping up the pride movement to regulating what you can or can't do with your property, statists love to force their values on the rest of us.

Niklas is back with another episode of Fiscal Fridays.

Every time you see corporate media types using words like "extremist" or "far-right" to describe someone, know for certain that they're expressing frustration at not being able to control or censor that person.

Anna Miller, director of the Idaho Freedom Foundation's Center for American Education, explains how the K-12 LEAD Map gives parents the tools to hold their local public school districts accountable. The LEAD Map combines student achievement data with social justice or "woke" incidents in public schools to give you an idea of which districts are educating, and which are indoctrinating.

A central bank digital currency (CBDC) threatens the privacy of every American. Idaho has an opportunity to advance the fight against financial tyranny by promoting solutions developed in the free market.

As our schools and libraries become cultural battlegrounds, it's time for parents to take seriously our role as gatekeepers.

When it comes to spending the hard-earned dollars of Idaho's taxpayers, too many bureaucrats and their corporate media sycophants believe that money is no object. By which they mean YOUR money.
