Two events in recent years had a profound impact on my life.
The first was COVID-19. I watched government overreach impact individual freedoms, small businesses struggle or close, communities become divided, and people feel increasingly silenced and disconnected from one another.
The second was the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk. Charlie was delivering a message of hope, faith, personal responsibility, and encouraging young people to get involved and engaged in the future of our country. God rest his soul.
What I learned through both of these events was the importance and power of grassroots involvement — what can happen when people unite, stay informed, and make their voices heard.
They reinforced for me the importance of getting good people elected at every level of government, especially at the local level where decisions often impact our daily lives the most.
Those experiences are what motivated me to step off the sidelines and get involved.
I was appointed as your Precinct Committeeman (PC) for Precinct 1412 in December 2025, and since then I’ve focused on doing the work rather than waiting until election season to become visible.
Precinct 1412 has approximately 1,250 registered Republican voters, and my goal has been simple: help keep our precinct informed, connected, and engaged.
Since being appointed, I have:
· Completed Idaho GOP Precinct Committeeman training
· Attended the Idaho GOP Winter Meeting
· Participated in Ada County Republican and Legislative District meetings representing Precinct 1412
· Connected with State Representatives and Senators serving our area
· Met with Mayor Simison and established a City liaison contact for Precinct 1412
· Built social media communication pages focused on sharing local information and updates
Neighbors have already reached out to me for help with local issues, including:
· Questions regarding the Spurwing fence along Chinden Blvd/Hwy 20/26
· Boise Co-op development questions at Black Cat & Chinden
· How to participate in the public hearing process for the Basque Ranch project
One thing I’ve learned is this:
People want information. They want to know what’s happening in their community, how decisions are being made, and how they can participate if they choose.
If elected, my goal is to continue building a stronger grassroots network within Precinct 1412 by:
• Improving communication
• Helping neighbors connect with elected officials and government resources
• Creating better ways to share important local information
• Encouraging involvement at the neighborhood level
Your Voice. Your Connection.
Grassroots Leadership. Local Focus.
Because strong communities stay connected.
Vote in person on May 19, 2026, at Willow Creek Elementary.

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.
One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.
Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.
You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.
The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.
And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.
To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.
You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.
Enjoy.

Congressional Reform Act of 2026!
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A member of Congress collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when out of office. No more perks follow them.
2. Congress (past, present, and future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. These funds may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise at the same rate as the COLA for monthly Social Security recipients, minus 1% if there is a budget deficit.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system (Medicare) as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e., NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).
7. All contracts with past and present members of Congress are void. The American people did not make these contracts with Congress. Congress made them by and for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators who serve their term(s), then go home and return to work, not receive all kinds of freebies. Term limits of 2 terms, and treat them like regular citizens!
Thoughts?
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security.
If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved!
This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.
That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact).
And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.
Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer.
But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it.
Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't Cut and Paste this to their timelines. Will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, Copy & Paste. It's important.
I have never heard a presidential moment as powerful as, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," until last night:
"If you agree with this statement, then stand up: 'The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.'"
That is the EASIEST applause line ever presented in American politics. Yet, the Democrats stayed seated and showed us exactly how UN-AMERICAN they are.
The TRUMP Rules: Congressional Reform Act of 2025!
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And no more perks go with them.
2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise at the same rate as the COLA for monthly Social Security recipients minus 1% if having a budget balance deficit.
5. Congress loses their current care system and participates in the same health care system (Medicare) as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career.
The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies. Term limits of 2 terms and treat them like a regular citizen!
