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

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. (Acts 5:29)
U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 10, Paragraph 3
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
If you live in Idaho don’t forget to vote on Tuesday November 7. Please support candidates who support America First. If you live in Kootenai County you can see some suggestions at the end of this message.
- Carbon Dioxide: Vital Plant Food – American Thinker Also see the attached. This message needs to get to every Democrat in the nation, especially in government.
- One NFL Team Shows Support for the Flag
- Judge’s Clerk Charged with Ethics Violations (Trump Trial)
- Home Schooling On the Rise: Failure of Public Schools the Primary Cause
- A New Way of Doing Things (New Speaker, New Program.)
- Democrats Would Eliminate the Second Amendment Australia has no Second Amendment like we do, so they lost their right to own guns. That seems silly for a country like Australia. Could that happen here? Only if they eliminate the Supreme Court and the Second Amendment. Just one more reason not to call for a Constitutional Convention.
- The House spent several weeks in selecting a Speaker. It did not appear that they would ever select a speaker as there were many holdouts. Then they did select a Speaker, and it was a unanimous vote; no one voted against him.
Several Congressmen who have known Mike Johnson a long time really feel good about him. We have had so many speakers in the past who betrayed the American people, so it was encouraging to have someone as Speaker who
believed in the founding and the good things in America.
Mike Johnson appears to be a Christian. He says the Bible is his platform. He appears to stand in all the right places, so that is encouraging.
Let’s face it. He hopes to balance the budget. The Senate will never go for that, so where is this headed? They have to accomplish a lot by November 17, just two weeks. Impossible!
Now I think it not good policy to follow any politician without question. One needs to be alert to what he may do. But we can judge by what he does, not what he says.
At least he is saying the right things. Here are some of those things.
Just like Newt Gingrich had “The Contract With America”, Mr. Johnson has listed what he has called “Core Principles of Conservatives” or “America’s Principles”. These are the following seven things:
- Individual Freedom
- Limited Government
- Rule of Law
- Peace Through Strength
- Fiscal Responsibility
- Free Markets
- Human Dignity
Now these sound good to me. Sure, you can include a lot of things under those titles so we will have to see what comes. At least it is something we can pray about. Remember that this man is a Constitutional lawyer who has argued cases before the Supreme Court. Let us give him the benefit of the doubt and work to help these things come true.

Alan Davis is running for Mayor of Hayden, Idaho. He lists the following groups who support him.
Luke Sommers is running against Davis. I have known Luke for many years and believe he is the best candidate. Do we always agree? Probably not, but looking at the alternative he is obviously the better choice.
Here are some of the people who have endorsed Alan Davis for Hayden Mayor.
Note where these people stand who have endorsed Alan Davis.
(You might want to save this information just in case anyone asks you about any of these groups.)
North Idaho Republicans would have you believe they are the true Republicans in our county. However, they were not elected like the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee, and have no official status. There are a few good people in the group, but most are just weak Republicans.
