OBAMA: Check out 'dhimmitude'
Obama stated he is a Christian? He had to claim to be a Christian in order to be elected as the president of the United States. Then why would Obama put in the health care bill this word: Dhimmitude. It is placed i…
Help light the fuse to the Fourth
Coeur d'Alene's tribute to the birth of our nation is a little like freedom itself.
DOLEZAL: Parents second to none
I’ve just read the Rachel Dolezal story. She’s a good fictional storyteller. She might have written a book!?
WOLF: Guilty - so live with it

The article dated June 8 regarding Rathdrum Mountain states, “For years the city heard little vocal opposition to the development of the city property on Rathdrum Mountain.” That is not true! I attended two meeting…
HEY!: Someone stole my ass
We have lived in this beautiful town for more than 55 years. More than 35 or so years we have had a donkey cart in our front yard that my 80-year-old wife plants with flowers in the cart. You probably have noticed …

I see that Mr. Mize got screwed by our politically correct, and intellectually challenged legal system. I guess common sense doesn’t count anymore in the courts. It is all legal trivia and what “deals lawyers can m…
BOOK: Just who is the bully?
