Government spending needs an Ozempic regimen at all levels. Looking forward to seeing what IDDOGE comes up with. Tks for serving on the committee.

I have heard this same argument from good lawyers wanting to apply for judge positions. There is a deep swamp in Boise Idaho and the creatures are running the show and the bureaucracy. Not sure of the perfect fix but i have some ideas...
The FIX IS IN on Boise State's Prez search? External candidates for BSU president are calling me worried that the search process has a predetermined outcome. They are telling me that they will not apply because the fix is in for an internal candidate. BSU's search firm is…
Has the search for a new president at Boise State been predetermined?

Harsh but fair take from the Sound Money Defense League about how Idaho missed the boat on gold and silver. kitco.com/news/article/2…
I’ve been asked to serve on Idaho’s DOGE Committee and our first meeting is this Friday. One of the most surprising things I learned in my first legislative session was how politicians talk about your tax dollars. For example - when I proposed cutting a $30 million/year program…
