🔎📹They’re not watching the birds anymore.

Flock Cameras have landed in Idaho – popping up around the Treasure Valley, the Magic Valley, and other locations across this state.

But serious questions remain:

Who authorized them?
What data are they actually collecting?
Where is that data being shared?
How much surveillance should Idahoans tolerate?

Today, Idaho Freedom Foundation is launching an investigative look into Flock cameras and what they mean for privacy, property rights, and the freedom of Idahoans to live without being constantly tracked.

👇Help us investigate: Drop your story, photo, or location of these cameras in the comments.

We find it fitting today to reflect on the words of Dr. Joseph Warren, who fell at the Battle of Bunker Hill during the third and final assault by the British. Though commissioned as a major general, Warren elected to fight alongside his men where he believed the battle would see the heaviest engagement, and maintained his position against the relentless opposing forces until his men had exhausted their powder and ammunition. He was 34 years old.

“Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of. Our enemies are numerous and powerful; but we have many friends, determining to be free, and Heaven and Earth will aid the resolution. On you depend the fortunes of America. You are to decide the important question, on which rest the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.”

Just over one year later, on a hot July afternoon in Philadelphia, fifty-six men put their hand to parchment and declared their independence.

Two hundred fifty years ago today, those ordinary men pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to secure liberty for themselves and their posterity. This Independence Day, as we commemorate America’s semiquincentennial, let us endeavor to remember the courage, sacrifice, and conviction that answered the question of whether a free people could govern themselves.

May we prove worthy of the inheritance they secured.

Happy 250th Independence Day.

May God bless you and keep you. And may God continue to bless these United States of America. 🇺🇸

🗳️🩻A primary election autopsy that you cannot afford to miss!

📰In his latest article, Fred Birnbaum, Senior Policy Analyst for Idaho Freedom Foundation delivers his after-action report regarding the May primary.

In it, Fred takes a look at the broader national context of elections and conservative governance, how the word “conservative” is used in the primary season only to be abandoned when the legislative session rolls around, and poses some deep philosophical questions around what it will take to turn around the ship already moving in a leftward direction.

[Idaho Freedom Foundation @idahofreedom]

⚾🏀🎾Thank You SCOTUS for doing the right thing today by upholding that men have no place in women's sports! Idaho led the way by being first in the nation to ban men from women's sports, and was one of the two cases, along with West Virginia that were instrumental with being heard before the Supreme Court.

👋Bye Felicia!

⏰On this week’s episode of Ron’s Weekly Wind-Up, Ron takes a trip down to the old Planned Parenthood, which shuttered its doors after Idaho’s Trigger Law went into effect.

👶This week marks the 4 year anniversary of the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and Ron uses the occasion to talk about Stanton Healthcare, a group dedicated to helping women and babies in need of natal care, and to talk about the need for vigilance in the face of the impending ballot measure seeking to bring back abortion up until the moment of birth.

Nowhere To Hyde -- The Reality of Idaho's Restroom Law https://t.co/712wxDs1PG

[Idaho Freedom Foundation @idahofreedom]

Four years ago today, The United States Supreme Court, in a landmark 6-3 decision, ended the federal government’s role in supporting abortion. So it’s now illegal in Idaho. Prior to this, 4 legalized killings were carried out on children in-utero EVERY DAY in Idaho. Today that number is effectively zero.

The work is not done; women now cross state lines to execute their little ones, democrats have pivoted their attention toward championing abortifacient drugs and have effectively turned every mailbox into little Planned Parenthoods, and a new ballot measure is being added to this November’s election which would allow expectant mothers to summarily execute their children up until the moment of birth.

We must be vigilant, we cannot rest on our laurels, the children are counting on us.

📰The second installment is here!

Wayne Hoffman, President-Emeritus of Idaho Freedom Foundation and guest columnist, has just released Part 2 of his series examining Medicaid’s history and impact.

🧑‍⚕️This installment explores what was lost as government programs expanded into health care, tracing the evolution from local benevolence societies, church networks, and neighbor-to-neighbor assistants to today’s government-centered system.

Wayne also examines how New Deal-era policies and employer-sponsored fringe benefits transformed the way Americans pay for medical care — and what this meant for the community institutions that once helped families in need.

If you’re interested in the history of health care, public policy, and the changing role of community responsibility, this is a fascinating read.
