Less than three weeks to go until the election. I cast my vote this week at the Eagle Public Library, and I hope you have a plan to vote as well, whether early or on Election Day. I think Donald Trump is going to win the presidential election, and I think Idaho voters are going to reject Prop 1, but take nothing for granted. Go vote, make sure your family and friends vote, and let’s do some good.
Don’t be like the guy from this George Alexopoulos comic:
As you know, I am entirely reader supported:
- Paid subscribers via Substack get bonus notes with most articles, giving me an opportunity to share behind-the-scenes thoughts with supporters, as well as early access to podcasts and significant discounts in the merch store.
- Do you have a small business you want to advertise? I’ll put your ad on the top of the Chronicle homepage, on the article sidebar, and will shout it out on any podcasts I release during the sponsorship. I’ll also write an article on behalf of sponsors, whether about a particular issue or just sharing their story. Send me a message and we’ll get it done. Take the time to visit this month’s sponsors: the iLuvIdaho.org Voter Guide as well as Lynn Bradescu’s Keller Williams Realty!
- Finally, I also offer freelance writing and editing services. Reach out to me if you have a project you’d like me to consult with you on.
Have you been catching the Daily Minute? It’s a one minute long summary of some piece of news that I think you’ll find interesting, published most every weekday. (Okay, so it’s been awhile. I’ll get back to publishing this week!) You can find the Daily Minute on YouTube, Rumble, Facebook, X, and even TikTok!
Last week at the Chronicle…
On Tuesday, I looked at the history of public libraries and asked if they still serve a purpose in the 21st century. Should taxpayers still be on the hook?
On Wednesday, I examined the progressive agenda, which inevitably leads to dystopia. Conservatives must present a better vision.
On Friday, I shared the story of the 1948 presidential election, when Republican Thomas Dewey took victory for granted and ended up losing to Harry Truman. Don’t let up!
The Idaho Freedom Foundation announced this week that it is bringing back the Center for American Education. This is great news for Idaho and for the cause of school reform.

Finally, Rep. Heather Scott explained the difference between grassroots and AstroTurf.
In other news…

Tim Pool invited several experts to discuss weather modification and cloud seeding. What is actually possible, what is actually plausible, and what is fanciful nonsense? The whole show is worth your time:

Finally, I’ve been teaching history to a homeschool pod this fall, and we just arrived at World War I. This 1964 documentary based on Barbara Tuchman’s The Guns of August is a great introduction to how the war started and why the grand old empires of Europe decided to destroy themselves in a destructive and bloody conflict:
