For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6)
U.S. Constitution Amendment XXV, Section 4, Paragraph 2, Section A
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.

U.S. Constitution Amendment XXV, Section 4, Paragraph 1
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
- Be Honest: Is Biden Still Qualified to continue as president? If the election were held today, how would Biden come out? Representative Dr. Ronny Jackson, who was White House doctor, says that Biden is in definite mental and physical decline. Is Kamala Harris the best insurance he has against removal from office?
- Otzi the Ice Man lived over 5,300 years ago in an area that today is covered by ice. It is obvious that the planet has warmed and cooled many times since this man lived. He was found on the Austrian-Italian border from the receding Schnidejoch Glacier.
- Idaho Budget Reform (Idaho Freedom Foundation)
In the last four years, government spending in Idaho has increased by 54%. The new budget process of considering base budgets separate from growth budgets potentially eliminates the waste, fraud, and abuse we’ve seen recently (see our documentary, Rogue Bureaucracy). This budget reform procedure promises lower spending and, with that, lower taxes.
A large part of the Idaho budget comes from the Federal government. The Idaho legislature must find a way to live without this federal money. Continuing to use this money could mean the death of Idaho. (Ed)
A key focus of this legislative session has been the debate surrounding government spending in Idaho. Over the past four years, spending in Idaho has increased by 54%. The legislature thoroughly reviewed only 19% of the total spending for years before budgets were finalized. Things are about to change.
- Trump Colorado Ballot Case: Justice Thomas Questions attorney about when Amendment XICV had been used against a president No examples are given because there are none. This is a new and novel approach to law.
In an unprecedented move, New York Republican lawmakers are calling on Governor Kathy Hochul to take action against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
- It appears that the money promised the world at COP28 must be approved by Congress. Hopefully they will not approve the spending.
Will COP28’s Climate Fund Promises Become a Reality? – The New York Times (nytimes.com) Billions promised by U.S. at COP28, must still be approved by Congress. Pressure Congress not to appropriate the money.

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2 Corinthians 4:4)
U.S. Constitution Amendment XXV, Section 3
Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as acting President.
- Detransitioner stories are finally coming out These procedures are not reversable and mark a child for life. They are a travesty and a tragedy and must be stopped.
- Inflation Reduction Act: Congressional Budget Office says original estimate low by 400 billion I am not sure how this bill got its name. In terms of reality this bill represents pure inflation. If the government quits spending money it does not have, prices will begin to come down.
- Senate Border Bill No new law is needed to close the border. The law is clear. Biden refuses to enforce the law. This bill would just make it easier for illegal aliens to enter the country. Why would any Republicans cooperate in crafting the bill?
- Is Michael Mann a fraud? I sure hope they appeal this tragic decision by the DC Court.
- Calm Weather dooms British wind industry In North Idaho we have had nearly daily clouds for the past 3 months. All green energy is pure folly.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: (2 Corinthians 4:3)
U.S. Constitution Amendment XXV, Section 2
Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.
- Sent to the Idaho Legislature Yesterday.
Just a reminder that voting for an Article V Constitutional Convention or a convention of the states, would be a disaster for the country. My short thoughts are below.
Thanks.
Jim Hollingsworth
Convention of the States: Background: Just to be clear, I do not support this convention. There is just too much danger: they could eliminate much of the Bill of Rights and change other provisions. Better to handle one issue at a time as has been done in the past. Plus, if the left does not follow the present Constitution, they will not follow a revised one. With the Left in control of so much of our government at the present time, this is just not the right time for a Constitutional Convention. This would be very dangerous.
- My perspective.
Jim Hollingsworth
Can we ever end our use of fossil fuels? Not on the short term. The question is not so much can we, but why should we? There is no climate emergency, and true science makes it clear that carbon dioxide and fossil fuels are beneficial so why stop using them? Having fossil fuels and not using them is like having a car with a full gas tank, but still insisting on pushing the car to avoid pollution. Wind and solar will never fill the need. Here in North Idaho we have months of cloudy weather, and the wind often does not blow when it gets real cold. You cannot build a battery that large, and batteries have a fairly short life. The solution is to recognize that this is not a climate emergency, but a matter of control. They want to control how we live and this seems the easiest way at it; control the climate.
- Is Michael Mann a Fraud? I have followed this man for many years and cannot see how a court could side with him. He is a science disaster.
- Biden will not face charges over classified papers, says ‘memory is fine’ | Reuters Too old and feeble to be charged, yet he is fine to run the country. Either it was a crime or it wasn’t.

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. (2 Corinthians 1:4)
U.S. Constitution Amendment XXV, Section 1
In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.
- Is Rafah next? In Gaza.
- Michael Mann wins 1 million lawsuit This man is wrong on the basics of science and he has misled many important international officials. There is no climate emergency.
- Michael Mann wins million dollar lawsuit against Steyn For a couple of decades Michael Mann has been preaching a false gospel about climate change. This would not be so bad except he has also convinced thousands of people in office of his false narrative. I hope they will appeal the judgment. No honest person can get a fair trial in Washington DC. Michael Mann drove Dr. Timothy Ball to an early grave with his lawsuit against him.
- Possible Replacement for McDaniels She says she is not resigning.
- Can Senator McConnell explain his support for terrible border bill This bill would not only, not control the border, it would make it even easier to get into the U.S. Why did McConnell support this very bad bill?
- Constant Calm Days bad news for wind Here in North Idaho it has been raining, snowing, or cloudy for almost three months, with few sunny days. Solar would never work here.
- Helicopter found; marines missing The press on this is pretty scanty. Was the found helicopter all in one piece, and if so were the men inside? Or was it blown to pieces and the men with it? Has anyone actually reached the aircraft?
- Hamas requests 45-day ceasefire and release of hostages This may be the offer that Israel has already rejected.

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13)
U.S. Constitution Amendment XXIV, Section 2
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
- Supreme Court to consider Trump Ballot Case Remember that both Colorado and Maine have kicked Trump off the ballot, so this is an important case.
- Michael Mann sues over climate statements Mann drove Tim Ball broke before he died. Mann and the hocky stick. He never gives up, though very wrong. Climate is just long-term weather.
- After going to Russia Carlson may not be very popular with Europe Carlson is rocking the boat, and that is always dangerous.
- A Second MAGA administration will be much wiser For one thing, Trump did have a few qualified people on staff, but they were not permitted to accomplish anything. Will Trump listen to the truly scientific conservatives and dive deeper into the deep state for changes?
- Helicopter found; marines missing The press on this is pretty scanty. Was the found helicopter all in one piece, and if so were the men inside? Or was it blown to pieces and the men with it? Has anyone actually reached the aircraft?

For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. (1 Corinthians 16:9)
U.S. Constitution Amendment XXIV, Section 1
The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.
- Speaker Johnson: Senate border bill dead on arrival How could any sane Republican have voted for this bill? It only makes it easier to cross the border, and does not stop illegal immigration.
- Fireworks in Senate over latest border Bill We do not need more laws; we just need to enforce existing law, and close the border.
- Trump mentions two possible VP Choices Personally I do not think America is ready for a woman president. We have had a few great women in politics, but are we ready for a woman for president? How about JD Vance? There are many MAGA who would make great presidents.
- Trump challenges Biden to a debate: No Answer (He said “no”.)
- Haley loses to “none of these candidates” in Nevada Trump was not on the ballot. Caucus coming.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, umoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58)

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
8. Biden Making all the Wrong Choices
9. Fox News Discusses the Senate Border Bill 26 Minutes
10. Oregon Republicans Support Texas Governor Greg Abbott at Border
11. Trump Condemns Senate Border Bill This bill would only make it easier to enter the country. We do not need any more laws, we just need to enforce the present laws and stop them at the border. We need to pick up the Welcome Mat.
12. J.D. Vance cut off in interview about Trump
13. Willis, Wade to testify at February 15 Hearing
14. Black Chicago Residents upset by Mayor’s Immigration policies
15. E. Jean Carroll giddy about Trump judgment, but will have to wait for appeals to start spending

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:22)
U.S. Constitution Amendment XXIII Section 1
The District constituting the seat of government of the United States shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct:
- Some say Trump Considering Robert F. Kennedy as Vice President Choosing Kennedy may gain a few more liberal votes, but it would destroy partisan politics. Kennedy is a breath of fresh air among Democrats, but he has a couple of things working against him: 1) He is and always will be a Kennedy, with all that goes with the name, and 2) He is still a Democrat at heart and supports most of their Marxist programs. Having him as vice president would be a national disaster.
- Judge will announce decision in Trump Fraud trial shortly. No matter what, Trump will appeal. Does not seem constitutional to take away a person’s living for a light cause.
- Migrants get $9,000 in Chicago This is a great incentive to come to Chicago.
- Election Day Voting by Midnight The intent was that all counting would be completed by midnight, though that may not always be possible. No counting ballots days after the election. The law calls for a day of voting, not several days.
