The past sixty years have been an unusual blessing, thanks to penicillin, Salk's Polio Vaccine, and other Wonder Drugs. Death by disease is a normal part of the human condition. To pretend otherwise is delusional. No government's power can prevent us from being crippled and killed by nature. Tyranny cannot save us from the realities of human life. Never again must we permit ourselves to be corralled and branded like cattle. If our leaders ever again try to exploit a crisis like COVID for political gain, we must engage in a campaign of total and absolute Civil Disobedience, as did Gandhi and MLK when faced with injustice.Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Sponsors:This production of Keep Right was brought to you by Ed Bejarana from Zenith Exhibits.  Zenith Exhibits providing professional audio production, voice overs, and audiobook narration.  Call (208) 209-7170 or visit www.zenithexhibits.com to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.

We must reject the untrammeled delusional psychosis that is post-Modernism in all of its forms, as well as the notion that lawlessness is somehow normal or socially just.  Everyone who is not a predator benefits from law and order in a colorblind meritocracy rooted in traditions that celebrate human dignity and promote liberty.Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Sponsors:This production of Keep Right was brought to you by Ed Bejarana from Zenith Exhibits.  Zenith Exhibits providing professional audio production, voice overs, and audiobook narration.  Call (208) 209-7170 or visit www.zenithexhibits.com to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.

Welcome to "Idaho Speaks", where our roots run as deep as our values. Today, Ed sits down with Susan, over a cup of home-brewed coffee, amidst the serene backdrop of our great North Idaho. They share a heartfelt conversation about the profound effects a recall can have on the soul of our communities. Diving into the challenges that arise from divisive recall attempts, they reflect upon the scriptural teachings of unity and understanding. Together, Susan and Ed ponder whether these recall efforts might discourage the faithful leaders of tomorrow from stepping up to serve God and community, out of fear of being scorned for their beliefs. Join us, as we navigate the ever-winding path of leadership, faith, and community values.

As our American Republic is patterned closely on the Roman Republic, we had best take heed and learn from their mistakes. We must reclaim the jury box, and restore the ballot box and soap box. Elsewise, we will only be left with the ammunition box, which would be a calamity even if we win. If we take responsible action, we can still prevent the Fall of the American Republic.Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Sponsors:This production of Keep Right was brought to you by Ed Bejarana from Zenith Exhibits.  Zenith Exhibits providing professional audio production, voice overs, and audiobook narration.  Call (208) 209-7170 or visit www.zenithexhibits.com to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.

There is real reason to see life in America as we have known it soon coming to an end.  Most of us are worried.  Some of us still hope that these dark trends may be reversed, that a recognizable America can yet be saved.  We do not expect politicians to save us.  They can help us or keep out of our way.  We free people wish to reclaim our Constitutional Republic and build a colorblind meritocracy; a nation under fair laws that is not at the mercy of technocrats or tyrants.  This is why there is so much frustration against our local Republican Party leadership here in North Idaho.Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Sponsors:This production of Keep Right was brought to you by Ed Bejarana from Zenith Exhibits.  Zenith Exhibits providing professional audio production, voice overs, and audiobook narration.  Call (208) 209-7170 or visit www.zenithexhibits.com to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.

As before 1860, we in the United States are sundering. Our intensifying disagreements threaten to unmake us as one people. This is because unprecedented numbers of Americans have embraced the pursuit of an earthly paradise over the preservation of personal freedom. As these true believers are constitutionally incapable of live-and-let-live toleration, of traditional American political moderation, divisions deepen.Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Sponsors:This production of Keep Right was brought to you by Ed Bejarana from Zenith Exhibits.  Zenith Exhibits providing professional audio production, voice overs, and audiobook narration.  Call (208) 209-7170 or visit www.zenithexhibits.com to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.

When those who would steal our freedom to empower themselves come, if we persist in allowing our children to be prematurely sexualized, we will accept their dominion. Why? Because we each understand that no one who knowingly permits the sexual violation of children can possibly be worthy of freedom. Because of this, we will accept our own enslavement as being just.

Summary:In this Idaho Speaks episode, we discuss the positive changes brought by the newly elected conservative majority to the Community Library Board of Trustees in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. These champions of limited government aim to safeguard our youth from inappropriate literature while reducing government overreach. They're taking a responsible fiscal stand, attempting to trim $200,000 from the library's budget to shield property owners from increased taxes. Programs under review include a knitting club and a senior fitness program, viewed as beyond the library's literacy promotion mandate.
