Few have heard of “BlackRock,” asset manager of over $10 trillion, and which is forcing worldwide behaviors and shaping societies in its own image. CEO Larry Fink is smart and does not push “woke” on Russia or Chin…
GUNS: Amend the Second Amendment
If the tragedy at Sandy Hook, where so many of our children were slaughtered, wasn’t enough to force us to establish some sort of gun control, what is it going to take? In my opinion, we need to amend the Second Am…

I urge our community to vote yes on the Coeur d’Alene school levy on May 16. The future of our local schools and our children’s development depend on it. Without the levy, our schools will lose critical funding for…
