BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A new report from the U.S. Department of Justice shows that youths are sexually abused more frequently in juvenile detention centers that are understaffed, have more gang violence and more offender complaints. The report, released Tuesday by the department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics, examined the impact juvenile facilities have on sex […]

All it takes is for the State of Idaho to invoke the 10th Amendment, just like Washington State, Colorado, Oregon, etc. have done with recreational marijuana laws. Idaho tells the Feds: we don’t care and you have no jurisdiction here.  To all the anti-abortion rights activists roaming the Idaho Capitol, the U.S Supreme Court has

John Brennan says suicide bombings could happen here in the USA. U.S.-led military efforts to contain violent Islamic State radicals in the Middle East have not yet succeeded, and the group’s engine of worldwide terrorism “still has a lot of momentum,” CIA Director John Brennan said Wednesday. “We cannot rest at all. We have to

What fool said a vote for Brexit would trigger a stockmarket crash and economic armageddon? Well, some of the brightest minds in the Square Mile actually. In fact, it was pretty much accepted in the City that a ‘Leave’ vote would kill demand for equities, certainly in the short-term. It did, for 10 minutes on

Seven refugees with active tuberculosis were resettled in Idaho between 2011 and 2015, but none of them were contagious, the state Department of Health and Welfare said Tuesday. “While that is accurate (that they had TB), it’s important to note that those refugees were not infectious and could not spread the tuberculosis infection to other

A Supreme Court ruling Monday that struck down Texas laws limiting access to abortions is raising new questions about efforts to regulate the procedure in Idaho. Like Texas, Idaho is a red state where the governor and a solid majority in the Legislature are against abortion, and bills seeking to restrict the practice further have

Christians should repent, register to vote and run for office if they want to save America, evangelist Franklin Graham told some 4,300 people gathered on the Capitol Campus Wednesday. “I believe God’s hand of judgment is coming on this nation unless we repent for our sins,” Graham said. The son of Billy Graham ticked off

Newt Gingrich responds to President Obama and Hillary Clinton’s approach to fighting radical Islamic terrorism.

LP Platform 1.9: We affirm the individual right recognized by the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms, and oppose the prosecution of individuals for exercising their rights of self-defense. 

Oh, the irony.  PORTLAND, Ore. – Authorities say they have arrested a man on suspicion of driving while high on pot after he crashed into a Happy Valley marijuana dispensary. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that the 18-year-old suspect was arrested Sunday. He faces DUI, criminal endangerment and several other charges. Police say he hit a parked

The contradiction here is stark. Had she only gone to an abortionist an hour earlier, she would be celebrated by progressives as a liberated, enlightened, empowered woman. You can’t have it both ways.  A former college student who gave birth in her sorority house was sentenced Monday to life in prison without parole for killing

It’s time for conservative states to stand up against the federal government by using their 10th Amendment rights. Colorado and Washington State have done it with marijuana laws. Every state has the right to do the same.  Today, the High Priests of the Supreme Court waved their royal scepters and summarily abolished a reasonable and

If it’s not racist and prejudicial to exclude college applicants based on race, I don’t know how anything can be called racist or prejudicial. Affirmative Action is the very definition of systematic racism. And it pulls off the trick of being racist against everyone all at once. It’s racist against white and Asians because it

Remember that for the Progressives, it’s not important that something actually happened, but that it could have happened… An openly gay YouTube star claiming to be the target of a hate crime may have faked his own assault. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said Tuesday that Calum McSwiggan’s claims of assault were unsubstantiated and that he injured

A new study released earlier this month in the journal Depression Research and Treatment contributes to mounting evidence against the “no differences” thesis about the children of same-sex households, mere months after media sources prematurely—and mistakenly—proclaimed the science settled. One of the most compelling aspects of this new study is that it is longitudinal, evaluating the same people over a long
