Podcasts about idaho republicans

It's been a week.The headlines we've read, the videos we've watched and the sadness we've felt. With every passing minute it seems there has been more bad news that floods our feeds, and if I'm being honest it's been too much to deal with.Los Angeles continues to face turmoil as the city burns around us, our President-elect solidified his freedom by receiving no jail time for his hush money case, DEI programs were rolled back and dismantled from many organizations, Meta confirmed they will no longer be fact checking or censoring posts on their platforms, misinformation was rapidly spread about the leadership in Los Angeles, and Idaho Republicans introduced legislation that asks the Supreme Court to reverse its decision on marriage equality. With all that continues to happen, all I have are more questions to which I fear I will never get the answers.In eight days we will have a transfer of power to a man whose name I personally never want to hear again. But with Donald Trump now entering into the presidency once again, the one question I have is: when will accountability start to matter? When the next person set to lead this country is a convicted felon, how are we not sending the message that people can be and are above the law? We all know that social media is a blessing and a curse. It allows us the opportunity to engage with one other, obtain information and consume content. But with changes in how social media will be consumed and shared, how can we trust the news around us when one of the biggest sources of information has now committed itself to not allowing fact checking for “fear of being politically biased?” If no one is committed to the truth how can we ever know what's real?How are we still combatting marriage equality? It's 2025! When will people let go of this obsession to what the LGBTQ community does or doesn't do? Why can't people love who they want to love and be who they want to be? The need to control other people's lives because of what you believe is archaic, and still having to battle the issue is exhausting. When will politicians put energy into something that actually affects their constituents everyday lives instead of wasting time with unnecessary moves like marriage equality and who can use what bathroom?Thanks for reading #WeNeedToTalk! This post is public so feel free to share it.Will empathy and compassion ever be in the room with us? How many tragedies do we have to encounter as a society before we start focusing on solutions rather than pointing fingers about who or what caused the problem?We aren't even a full two weeks into this year and I'm tired. Our society is crumbling, and common sense, decency, humanity and love are becoming foreign concepts in a world that needs them the most. Sooner or later we are going to have to get a handle on this or we will keep spinning in this never-ending cycle of tragedy.Malynda Hale is a multi-hyphenate content creator in Los Angeles.

Stephanie Mickelsen discusses her recent censure from her legislative district central committee, and Idaho Republican Party chairwoman Dorothy Moon gives her take on the presidential caucus, recent election bills and divisions within the party. Plus, Ruth Brown talks to Idaho Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Bevan on how a judicial salary bill could affect court administration.

Trump has actually been indicted, and to no one's surprise has pleaded not guilty on 34 counts of felony "bad book keeping". Meaning now Americans have changed their expertise of the month to "Legal Theory" and "Grand Jury Power". Is Trump guilty of a fraud crime here? Almost certainly, yes. Is it also a flimsy felony case that galvanizes his base and degrades the integrity of more serious cases in the near future? Even more likely!Idaho Republicans wage a war on Tampons as "Woke Derangement Syndrome" hits a new level of unhinged. Dylan Mulvaney and Budweiser do Capitalism together and Cultural Conservatives are using Cultural Lefty tactics to combat "depravity". What The Right doesn't understand is that they love trans ideology as much as Rachael Maddow loves Donald Trump. They just can't live without it. There was a "raid" on the Tennessee Capitol recently, by anti-gun lefties. Who covered it? Was it and "Insurrection"? And have we gotten so politically lazy that instead of collectively demanding better representation at the State and Federal level...we just raid Capitol buildings when we're pissed off? IF YOU LIKE:The Free Press Dan Carlin Breaking Points With Krystal & Saagar The Fifth Column Reason Magazine The Reason Round Table Dave Smith's "Part of the Problem" Blocked and Reported NPR Based Politics The Daily Wire The President's Daily Brief The Jordan Harbinger Show The Jimmy Dore Show The Joe Rogan Experience Useful Idiots "Pushback" With Aaron Mate "Honestly" With Bari Weiss Matt Taibbi Glen Greenwald

Kevin Miller covers the move by some Idaho Republicans to get grant amnesty foreign born workers.

Joe Biden hit with online ridicule after claiming he had an 'epiphany' in support of gay marriage in 1961. BIDEN: "My executive order directs my Attorney General to take every lawful action possible to move us...to universal background checks without legislation." On Monday, President Biden flew to San Diego to discuss a submarine deal with British and Australian Prime Ministers. However, Biden literally almost fell to his death because he nearly missed the first step going down the stairs. Republicans in the Idaho legislature are looking to approve a resolution that would ask President Joe Biden, as well as Congress, to flood the United States labor market with more foreign workers as well as to grant an amnesty that would give green cards to millions of illegal aliens holding American jobs.

There will be a prayer vigil held tonight in front of the Meridian Library Director's house. Some have asked if using prayer as a way to get your point across is the correct thing to do. What are your thoughts? There could be new rules for Idaho Republicans wanting to vote in closed party primaries. Do you think that we should close our primaries even more, or should we open them up to conservatives of all kinds? Yesterday it was reported that the man who is accused of murdering the New Meadows couple who owned the Hartland Inn has been deemed unfit for trial and is going to spend time in a psychiatric facility. Nate discusses this, and asks: since others knew about this individual's potential to harm others, how much are they responsible for it? (12/21/22)

At the beginning of the show Dorothy Moon, The Chairwoman of the Idaho Republican Party, joined Nate to discuss an event they are holding tonight. She also weighed in on what is and isn't an important issue for the Idaho Legislature and what her thoughts are on Republicans supporting and endorsing non-Republican candidates. After that we discussed something completely different, child marriage. The Idaho Supreme Court chose not to weigh in on a case where a parent agreed to marry off his sixteen-year-old daughter in order to get out of custody hearings with his ex-wife. Do you think that the Idaho law should say no one under the age of eighteen can get married? How safe do you feel in the Treasure Valley? Nampa Mayor Debbie Kling reported, that while some crime is down, violent crime in Nampa has increased. There is also a story that the Boise Police are looking into involving a group of teenagers ganging up and going after adults in Downtown Boise. (10/20/22)

There is controversy stirring up in the City of Eagle. There is a group that is gathering signatures to recall the mayor and all of the city council members of Eagle. Eagle Mayor Jason Pierce joined Nate Shelman to discuss that situation. If you live in Eagle what are your thoughts? GOP Candidate for Attorney General Raul Labrador joined Nate Shelman to discuss his campaign, and recent news that known Idaho Republicans are backing his Democrat challenger. This lead us to this question: How do you define conservative? What about Republican? Nate took your answers to those questions and briefly discussed Alex Jones having to pay nearly a billion dollars to Sandy Hook victims' families. (10/12/22)

Another update on the blacklisting of Americans from author and historian Robert Zimmerman of behindtheblack.com.Blacklisted Americans is Zimmerman's term for victims of what is currently called “cancel culture.”In this episode we look at blacklisted Americans and those who are fighting back against this tyranny. We also discuss the sad patterns we find in all of this including an unwillingness to put a stop to such.Stories discussed include: Black playwright blackballed because he honestly told the story of racism in the Jim Crow south The rising federal Gestapo UNT professor fired for making joke wins $165K settlement from university Arrested in 2020 for letting her kids play in park, a mom is still being prosecuted by Idaho Republicans  www.PrattonTexas.com
