Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)
U.S. Constitution: Article I, Section 2, paragraph 5 The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
I am not going to pretend to have answers here this morning, but I am going to invite everyone to consider that the next time you denounce the “environmental ramifications” of something, that you consider what life would be like without the thing you denounce, not just for yourself, but for mankind generally.
Many things are condemned by the present administration in which they have no idea what they do and how we might live without them. There are really good reasons for things being as they are. Ed.
- What would life be like without all our modern inventions, conveniences? There have been literally millions of inventions to provide us with all the things we use on a daily basis. We do not even think about them. We just take all this for granted. Then we join forces to have all this eliminated. This is a modern tragedy.
- Senator John Fetterman in trouble Notice that the article says he had a stroke last May. The date was actually May 2022. This error has been repeated many times.
What is clear is that Fetterman hid the severity of his stroke from the voters in Pennsylvania because he was afraid if they knew the truth it would cost him the election.
His fear was well founded. Ed.

Crazy Times!
Knowing The Time We Are Living In
Do you ever go to bed at night and think that the world is nuts? Do you ever wonder why is this happening? The Bible has hundreds of prophecies that foretell future events and many people are opening up the Bible to get answers. Jesus fulfilled at least 300 prophecies in the Old Testament and over 400 are yet to be fulfilled in the second coming. Many people disregard the Bible saying “it is just a bunch of stories”. I would disagree- it is “One Story” that describes creation through the end time events. Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple before that generation had passed away but then gave an astounding prediction that Israel would become a nation again and He would return before that generation passed away. Since Israel became a nation in 1948 and my wife and I are “baby-boomers” that is a very interesting statement that grabs my attention.
But there are many prophecies in the Bible that could apply to many times in world history. For example in 2 Timothy 3:1 it states that “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” That is followed by a list of human failures that clearly mark the parade of human breakdown that we see today. “For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” Sure that seems to describe our world exactly and we could add some more that describe the crazy times we live.
We read the Bible in an English translation that doesn’t always give us an accurate meaning. The word “perilous” in the above quotation is from the Greek word “chalepos” meaning “fierce, or harsh or difficult”. But this doesn’t get to the heart of what Paul is trying to say in this prophetic warning. What does, in fact, illustrate the power of his statement is that this Greek term is used only once in the New Testament. It is found in Matthews gospel, where Jesus and his disciples sail across the Sea of Galilee and are confronted by two insane men, who are possessed by demons and extremely aggressive. They are described in the following sentences:
When He had come to the other side, to the country of the [a]Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way. And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”
Here the expression, exceedingly fierce is a translation from the same Greek word that Paul used in his letter to Timothy. Again we find the word “chalepos” used to describe two insane and aggressive madmen coming out of the tombs in a state of horrifying aggression. In other words, Paul is warning Timothy (and us) about a coming age that is possessed by “raging insanity”! It seems that we are already there.
Remember several decades ago that we are told that we had to recognize homosexuality because folks were “born that way” and couldn’t help who they were sexually. Some how this didn’t apply to kleptomaniacs or serial killers – only to sexual proclivities. Now we are told that they were born with the wrong sex. Now they needed us to change their pronouns while they had meatball surgery and a double mastectomy along with drugs to make the transition to the real person they were meant to be. Sounds crazy? Yes it is.
We were told that pedophilia and sexual crimes against children should be punished. Capital punishment, according to a civilized society would be too kind. Now we are including sexual instruction for elementary children in schools and libraries to prepare them for a smorgasbord of sexual proclivities. We now celebrate mentally deranged men dressed up as women reading books to little children and asking them to celebrate with them as they and their teacher decide which gender they are. Not content with grooming children there are groups like LAMBDA who want to drop the age of consent to age 12 or younger. This is raging insanity.
If you want to put in a septic tank on your property – do a perc test and get a permit.
If you want to live in a tent on a city sidewalk and defecate on the sidewalk or street – that is your right of course according to the courts, no permit required. Open borders that allows all comers to come and live in our country is just fine. In just four years this invasion will be a least three times the population of Idaho – maybe four or five. We have no idea. The family definition that we lived by for millennia is gone, the state will take control of parenting. Two winos in a boxcar or a group of mentally ill people living in a tent in the park are defined as “family”. All of this is insane. Predicted by the Bible? In detail. Maybe time to read the rest of prophecy about pandemics, world government, digital banking and control of the population and more. We are going to see more control and insanity. Place your faith in the author and creator.

- The Story of “The Blind”
Long before Phil Robertson became a reality TV star, he fell in love with Miss Kay and started a family, but his demons threatened to tear their lives apart. Set in the backwoods swamps of 1960s Louisiana, “The Blind” shares never-before- revealed moments in Phil’s life as he seeks to conquer the shame of his past, ultimately finding redemption in an unlikely place. This stunning cinematic journey chronicles the love story that launched a dynasty, the turmoil that nearly brought it crashing down, and the hope that rose from the ashes to create a foundation for generations to come.
- Hi friends,
After knowing and working with Brent Regan (on Burt Rutan’s SkiGull airplane) beginning almost a decade and a half ago, I really did not know much about him or his resources until today’s “Opinion: Fact Check” article in the Coeur d’Alene Press.
That’s because Brent didn’t talk about himself. Rather he immersed himself in the project at hand and proved to me that he was an out-of-the-box innovator, capable of exquisite design work carried out in record time that worked.
If you haven’t seen his article yet, look below.
Regards,
Mike Satren
OPINION: Fact check Coeur d’Alene Press
“The mission of the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) is to enhance freedom and prosperity by promoting fiscally and socially conservative candidates who will implement the Idaho Republican Party Platform as policy.”
— KCRCC Mission Statement My job as chairman of the KCRCC is to run the meetings toward the objective of our mission; maintain decorum, and ensure the minority has its say while the majority has its way. Those that claim I am a “would be dictator” or fascist, racist, monarchist, etc., are either epically ignorant or deliberately mendacious. The fact that the KCRCC functions so well with a high degree of cooperation proves this.
Republicans, especially conservative Republicans, have an adverse reaction to being told what to do or how to think. The only management style that works well with them is to be a facilitator, not a dictator. I help members of the committee do those things they want to do because people tend to be good at the things they like doing. By working together we can tap the consensus intelligence of the members.
While one member may be the smartest person on the committee, nobody is smarter than the entire committee.
We have empirically demonstrated that the “wisdom of the crowd” is real.
As for the “crowd,” each member of the KCRCC hails from a different precinct making the committee the most diverse and representative political organization in the county. Other groups like DART, NIR, Chamber of Commerce, and the Realtor Association have memberships that are self-selecting. They do not require that each member is from a separate area or precinct within the county.
Progressives are often mystified when Republicans work together. In their experience, cohesion only happens when directed from authority so when they see others working together their only conclusion is there must be a dictator with an iron fist whipping the members into conformance.
Psychologists call this phenomena “projection,” where the subject projects their life experience onto others. It is not in their experience to build consensus from the bottom up.
You can’t expect a fish to understand fire.
This also explains why Biden supporters accuse Trump of the crimes Biden appears to have committed.
Similarly one would not expect unsuccessful people to understand how successful people operate. If they did, they would be successful too.
Criticism of successful people invariably comes from people who are less successful.
Psychologists call this the Dunning-Kruger Effect; where low proficiency individuals have an inflated sense of self-confidence.
They don’t know enough to know they’re incompetent.
When these two effects combine, Dunning-Kruger and Projection, you get some interesting, even laughable criticisms. A local Biden supporter and political gadfly characterized me as a silver spoon trustfunder carpetbagger white supremacist. Wow.
Anything else?
Brent Regan
Common Sense
Well, it is true that I was born into great wealth and opportunity.
I’ll explain. When my parents met they were Canadian Nationals of Italian descent. At that time, Italians were considered in the bottom ethnic class, definitely not supreme. In the late ‘30s, my grandfather was struggling to provide for the family so he had my father drop out of high school, change his name from Zamboni to Regan and go to work in the family blacksmith and machine business. By operating under the name “Regan” they were able to secure contracts that were otherwise unavailable to someone named Zamboni. Facing discrimination and wanting more for their children, my parents sold the Vancouver, B.C., house they themselves built and with $1,500 in hand packed my brother, sister, and all their belongings in the family car and immigrated to South San Francisco where my father had secured a job at the Schlage Lock as a supervisor on their electroplating line. The day they arrived, my parents applied to begin the five-year process of becoming U.S. citizens.
Soon I arrived, the first American in the family and born on the Fourth of July. My father left Schlage after nearly being killed in a boiler explosion and while recovering in the hospital from third-degree burns, decided to start his own business. His new company and I would grow up together.
Silver spoon or mop handle? My father worked 10 hours a day, six days a week and when I was old enough I would go with him to work on Saturdays. At 7, I got my first paying job with a time card to punch. I was paid the princely sum of 50 cents per hour to mop floors. When I was off the clock he would teach me how to use a lathe, mill, welder and other tools.
My father insisted that no matter what I was doing I should strive to be the best.
At 13, I started my first business, turning scrap lead into weights for the local scuba diving shop. At 17, I built a road licensed electric car. At 18, I earned an associate’s degree in electronics and decided to start another business setting the goal of being a self-made millionaire by 36. I married at 27 and co-founded a robotics business which quickly grew to over 70 employees and 90% of the world market in subsea telemanipulators. At 33, I had a seven figure net worth, three years ahead of my goal. At 35, we sold the robotics business and I started Regan Designs, specializing in mechatronics. Since then we have helped several successful startups, creating hundreds of jobs. For example, in 2008 we helped start Liquid Robotics, which sold to Boeing in 2016 for $300 million.
Trust funder or trustee? My mother is 96 and still gets a few dollars monthly pension from the Canadian government for my father’s service in their army. My older brother, who passed away in 1993, appointed me as trustee for his orphaned daughter’s trust. I managed that trust for 22 years, never taking a dime. My niece is now happily married with two daughters living in a house her beloved father, through me, was able to buy for her.
Carpetbagger? I have lived in Kootenai County for over 25 years, twice as long as anywhere else.
There is no evidence that the ZIP code of your birthplace imparts any local wisdom.
I was born into great wealth, but not the monetary kind. I was born a citizen of the greatest country on Earth to parents that loved me. My father was the personification of the American Dream and he taught me perseverance, hard work, and the value of being the best you can be. He taught me the true secret to success.
It’s just common sense.

In Matthew 24 Jesus warns us “Take heed that no man deceive you. For many will come in my name and shall deceive many.”
There are powerful people who believe the mission of the Church should be to save the planet rather than the Great Commission in Mathew 28.
How is it that environmentalism has crept into the Christian Church worshipping the creation rather than our Creator?
Why is it that the globalist rulers of the world are promoting this?

Jim,
Idaho has laws forbidding everything but your #1. Your #8,9&10 are covered by our parents are primary stakeholders bill passed last year which Senator Toews & I carried in our respective chambers.
Federal Judge Winmill has blocked our no boys in women’s sports law which is your #5. Your 2,3,4 are in a law last year which has also been blocked in federal court.
Your 6&7 was passed last year.
