Next Club Meeting: Monday, May 16th, 2022
*********************************************
ATTENTION:
Due to the fact that our normal meeting date falls on Primary Election Day, we have rescheduled the next meeting to be held on MONDAY, MAY 16TH 2022. This is in consideration of all that active Republicans must do on election day.
The Ronald Reagan Republican Club Meets in May at The Star Riverhouse Community Center, 960 S. Main St., Star ID at 11:45am-1:15pm (Please note: We are meeting on a MONDAY due to Election Day falling on our normal meeting day which is the 3rd Tues. of the month.)
We have engaged the services of Scotty's Hot Dogs-Food Truck who will be serving Hot Dogs, Chip's & a Drink for $10. Please take advantage of their services. We need a minimum of 60 lunches purchased to cover the cost of the Food Truck.
This should be an exciting event giving you the opportunity to see a variety of candidates before you vote on Tuesday!
(Ample Parking Provided) We are still searching for a permanent meeting location, although this facility can accommodate our membership, it is pricey. All suggestions for alternative locations are very welcome.

Have you heard the latest? According to the Biden Administration and Kamala Harris gas pump prices and most other items that we all need will continue to see inflationary increases in prices. Their reasoning is based on the Ukraine situation and Russia's likely invasion of the Ukraine.
So you should be asking yourself, "What is the next excuse for increases in inflation?" You know there will be lots of them given. The truth is the current administration will blame it on anything but their own mismanagement.

And now, just two weeks later, gas prices are up about 8%. And so far the Biden administration has done little to prevent these increases.
Here's a look at Idaho gas prices as of 3/10/22:
Boise – $4.37.
Coeur d'Alene – $4.11.
Franklin – $4.40.
Idaho Falls – $4.18.
Lewiston – $4.20.
Pocatello – $4.29.
Twin Falls – $4.42.
As of 3/30/22 gas prices are up another $.12 to $.15 per gallon throughout the state. Diesel is even worse.
As of 5/1/2022: Gas prices are still rising to an average of $4.53 per gallon. Diesel continues to rise as well to around $5.22 per gallon . . . OUCH!
Thank President Biden today for these recent gas price increases.

Idaho CONVENTION of STATES:
All politicians at the federal level are liars – and I say that with no qualifiers. Every one of them has promised at some time to stimulate the economy with government spending. It’s always their first instinct when faced with an employment shortage or a recession. Both parties have done it, and it has always been a scam. “Shovel Ready Projects” spent a lot of money, but failed to fix stagnant economic growth. COVID relief went right into the pockets of large corporations, not to the American workers it was supposed to help. And now, our leaders in Washington are telling us that “Build Back Better” (BBB) will fix everything from inflation to toenail fungus. It will certainly be the most expensive boondoggles of all time – but count me as skeptical about it being a cure for anything. All of these programs promised to stimulate the economy. All have failed (or will fail in the case of BBB). The notion that the government can spend its way to a better economy is a fundamentally flawed concept. And yet, every couple of years we have politicians telling us that it will work this time. Economic activity is the result of people spending money. They spend it to buy products, or to hire employees. Those who receive the money then in turn spend it to buy more products or hire other employees. The cycle continues over and over. The economy grows when people spend more money on those products and services today than they did yesterday. But any money given to us by the government, must first be taken from us. There is a limited number of ways for the government to get that money, and they all involve taking from us by some means. The government can tax us and take the money directly from us. We find taxation objectionable, but it’s actually the most honest means of government taking. The government can borrow the money. Of course, then the taxpayers are stuck with paying the interest – forever. The Fed can crank up the printing presses and the government can flood the country with new money. But that creates inflation and robs us all of purchasing power. It is the cruelest of the government’s methods of taking. Nobody escapes it, not even the poor. The government could sell property to generate revenue. It has access to oil reserves, timber reserves, and intellectual property from research. But any such property has already been paid for, by us, through one of the other methods of taking. The bottom line is this: If the government has something, it got it from us. That’s why the claim that government spending can stimulate the economy is a total scam. It is impossible to stimulate the economy by taking money away from us, giving less of it back, and then acting as though it’s free money. There’s nothing free about it. Our politicians always bill stimulus as a temporary measure. It never is. It always grows the size of government, and that bloat must be supported forever. As of 2020, the federal government has grown to almost 3 million employees. Have you ever heard of a reduction in workforce at the end of one of these “temporary” spending measures? Neither have I. In fact, our government has stimulated its way to about $30 trillion of debt. That’s $90,000 of debt for each man, woman, and child in America. The average family of four is paying more interest on the federal debt (in their taxes) than they are for their home mortgage. Explain how giving them a little money back stimulates the economy more than letting them keep the money to start with. Government spending does not stimulate the economy. It throttles it. The only thing that “stimulus spending” stimulates is government growth. The next time a politician runs on a platform promising “stimulus,” don’t be fooled. Recognize it for what it is. He is offering to pick your pocket, give you the loose change back, and suggesting that you should be grateful for it. Our politicians are addicted to money and in desperate need of an intervention. We are long overdue for a constitutional amendment imposing fiscal restraints on Washington.

Gun Control On the Horizon?

We did not have to wait long for this development. President Biden will announce new executive action on gun control on Thursday, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki.
There are no certain details on what the action will include, but speculation is that it will cover assault weapons, high capacity magazines, ghost guns, imported weapons and other guns.
But to be sure, the President will try to push this action as far as he can and it will be interesting to see the response of American citizens, conservatives and various 2nd Amendment organizations. The uproar may be deafening and the backlash brutal. Only time will tell.

Gun Control On the Horizon?

In spite of President Joe Biden's commitment to unity, America continues to wallow in distrust and political rage. The Democrat's push their radical left agenda and insist that unity and trust can only be had by following their rules and their demands. "Its their way or the highway."
The American government, social networks and news agencies are no longer trusted to get anything right, nor to serve the people of this country. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are working very hard at unity, balance or anything else positive in the past month. It started way back when Barack Obama was president and it has gotten worse and escalated since then. Why? Biden, Pelosi Clintons, Obama and other Democrats thrive in their hatred for anything that hints at conservative thinking, Republican ideals and freedom in general. They hate everything that opposes their power and control of the people of America. This hatred drove the second impeachment attempt of former President Trump and it fuels everything they do.
When will it end? Only when the people of this country take back the control with their vote. We must vote in those people who will stand for balance, unity and the freedoms that this county is formerly famous for. We will take back control when we quit allowing media, social networks and news agencies the control they currently have over the truth.
It is time to take back control with your vote and you involvement. Decide who you can trust and who you can count on to do the right thing. Then insist that they are truthful, balanced and, above all, working for the citizens of this country.
We should also hold our new President to what he said. He said he wanted to unify all Americans. Well Mr. President . . . get to it.

The first three words of the U.S. Constitution are "We The People" not we the government. If we don't wake up soon to the forces that are working to rob you of freedom and rights, you will soon be a slave. You will be working for the government, working by their rules and you will be facing a life that ideologies like liberalism, socialism and communism force on people.
Wake up. Read the platforms. Then decide which one you think is better for you and the future of your family.
We The People is a conservative stand that Democrats battle against. Democrats want it to say, "We the government and we the Democrats know what is best for the people." They want it to say, "We the Democrats, in order to form a more perfect dominion." WAKE UP. Get out and vote the platform. Vote Conservative. Vote Republican.
