Dear Friends,
Here are a few articles for your consideration.
Thanks

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)
- Success of Sound of Freedom May gross over 100 million.
- Kelly: DeSantis made best showing at Iowa Forum. Some candidates made it clear they are going nowhere. When you answer questions by talking in circles you have doomed your campaign as people want real answers, not political double talk.
Earlier this month, Cao stated, “My family and I came to this country for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The U.S. gave us a home, a flag to stand under, and countless opportunities. We have been committed to returning the favor ever since
- Biden Administration Continues Student Loan Forgiveness This clearly violates the law, but who cares?
- Democrats believe abortion okay up to delivery Both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments protect the life, liberty and property of every “person” in the United States. If a person is a person at birth, then he is also a person before birth. And that goes back to conception. From conception on there is no change until delivery, and that is just a change of location. Before that it is just a matter of development and growth. It makes sense that anyone who cannot get the issues of life right ought not to be trusted in any other matter; abortion is that important to the national discourse.
- Open Primaries
Primary elections are the program where each party chooses who they want to represent them in the general election in November. As such the primary is usually only open to those who belong to the particular party. Allowing others to vote in your primary would be like allowing your neighbor to help you set your family budget; it would just make no sense.
Jim Jones was Chief Justice of the Idaho Supreme Court. He has been involved in Idaho politics for many years. He understands the political process. What he and many others are wanting is a primary where they can vote for the most liberal Republican candidate, or a Republican in Name Only (RINO). This was a problem in the past; Democrats voted in the Republican primary, so the primary was closed.
Ranked Choice voting is similar. You vote for your first choice, then your second etc. As we saw in Alaska this has worked against the Republican Party.
There is just no reason to support open primaries, unless you are a Democrat living in a major Republican state. This allows you to enter the election process through the back door. It is just a very bad proposal.
Thanks
