Animals
Cozy Baby Platypus
I like the duck-billed platypus
Because it is anomalous.I like the way it raises its family
Partly birdly, partly mammaly.I like its independent attitude.
Let no one call it a duck-billed platitude.
There’s nothing cuter than a baby platypus snuggling in for a snooze (video 0:26).

Mercifully, the 2026 Idaho Legislative session has ended. We followed and wrote about many bills during the session. Look here 👀

Idaho Politics & Political Events
Idaho Republican Primary Elections — Who’s Who on the Campaign Trail. Idaho Freedom Caucus (IFC) Members Poised for Another Win. By Idaho Freedom Caucus (04/02/26)
The disappointing 2026 legislative session proved that Republican primary votes matter! We had some great legislators, and some truly awful ones.
Not all “Rs” are conservative, though many make conservative claims during campaigns. In fact, most candidates in Idaho have a Republican “R” after their names. However, many “Rs” vote closer to Democrats and the left.
… Efforts to turn Idaho purple then blue are relentless. Conservatives MUST stand together to keep Idaho strong and traditional. Re-electing the most conservative Idaho Freedom Caucus incumbents can help us do that.
🚨Idaho No Kings 3.0 — Radical Left in Boise is Crazier and More Virulent than Ever (posted 04/03/26) The Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF) and Boise State University Turning Point USA (TP USA BSU) teamed up to check out the NO KINGS 3.0 RALLY held at the Idaho State Capitol on April 2, 2026.
IFF and BSU folks calmly tried to interview leftist attendees, but were ignored or screamed and sworn at. Those willing to speak gave nonsensical talking-point answers to sensible questions — all while “Censorship Karens” shadowed the team to shut down communication.



Idaho Politics & Beyond — Op-Ed: Voters Must See Through the Lies. By Dorothy Moon, IDGOP Chairwoman (04/02/26)
Everybody has an opinion, and that is especially true around election time. Voters are bombarded with signs, texts, mailers, and social media ads designed to change their views on one candidate or another. Some of these messages are substantive—sharing an incumbent’s voting record or explaining what a challenger will do differently—but others are nothing more than dirty, ugly mud.
…
When you see an ominous-looking mailer denouncing your lawmaker, take a moment to think. Do your own research. Pick up the phone and have a conversation.
The ultimate power in our state belongs to you—not PACs, political nonprofits, or special interests. That’s why they work so hard to influence your vote. Guard that power wisely.

COVID, Shots & “Vaccines”


“VACCINE” Injections — Asking Informed Questions, Making Informed Decisions (posted 04/02/26)
Mothers often make decisions about whether to inject children with “vaccines.” Dads do too, of course! And sometimes, even grandparents, other family members, guardians, school officials, and others decide.
It’s imperative that people ask hard questions and make informed decisions.
Doctors and other medical advisors often are clueless about what’s in disease-targeted shots, what adverse events can occur, what treatments are available for each targeted disease, and both short- and long-term benefits of each shot.
Shouldn’t we have the best information before making an irreversible decision — a decision that cannot be undone, a decision that could affect an entire life if something goes wrong?
We bring readers two recent items that should make everyone think before they jab others or take one for the team:
What about that Tetanus Shot, Doc?

🔥TAKE ACTION: A New Diagnosis Code for COVID-19 Vaccine Adverse Effects Needs Your Support: CDC’s New ICD-10 Code T50.B25 Open for Comment — a Message from React19 (posted 03/26/26)

CDC Lied, People Died — CDC Buried COVID Vaccine Death Data in Lancet Study, Internal Documents Reveal. CDC researchers altered their own study on COVID-19 vaccine adverse events to downplay deaths linked to the shots, according to documents obtained by Children’s Health Defense. CHD sued the CDC in 2023 to obtain the documents after the agency failed to respond to CHD’s Freedom of Information Act request. By Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D. (03/19/26)

Weather Engineering / Cloud Seeding / Geoengineering / Whatchamacallit

Idaho lawmaker leads fight against geoengineering. Clayton J. Baker, MD interviews Clint Hostetler (03/27/26)
Idaho State Representative Clint Hostetler’s memorial bill HJM018 urges the federal government to end solar geoengineering. The memorial separates small-scale cloud seeding from large-scale stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and solar radiation management (SRM), calls for federal prohibition of unauthorized atmospheric chemical releases over Idaho, and invokes state sovereignty under the 10th Amendment.
