OPINION: Junkyard in the sky?
Your views of the havens at night might be interrupted by non-heavenly objects passing by your binoculars.
FUHL: She did it again
You have outdone yourself this April 1. White Flight cracked me up, but your second joke on A6 though more subtle was also fun. It wasn’t attributed to April Fuhl, but it could have been. Love your humor.
THANKS: Vital lesson learned
Last week on the way home from the gym, I stopped at WinCo for a few needed items. Made my selections and entered Gwen’s checkstand. She checked me out, then using my debit card for payment, it failed four times. F…
SB1159: Constitutional mockery
Idaho GOP legislators’ arrogance is breathtaking. Legislators aren’t kings invested with unanswerable, unlimited power to rule. Government should represent ALL its citizens. But, one-party-rule has so stifled Idaho…
MUELLER: Trump's time is coming
No one that I know has been “rooting deliriously” for the Mueller Report to “slam dunk President Trump into oblivion,” as The Press editorial, March 27, so subtly and metaphorically puts it. But there are those, ap…
SPEECH: Trump is right
Another nitpicking arrow aimed at a silly comment made by PRESIDENT TRUMP. He says them all the time and people love to latch onto them. When’s the last time a bunch of bikers attacked ANYONE? I’ve seen pictures of…
CONCERNED: Three key issues
On March 8 and March 15, I emailed Representatives Barbieri and Green asking why they voted NO on the “Child Marriage” bill. As of March 30, I have not received a response. I am assuming my correspondence wasn’t im…
OPT-OUT: A dirty done deal
Would or could you ask the county commissioners why they held the public hearing last week when the decision had already been made by Commissioners Fillios and Brooks! They had already decided to nix the opt-out pr…
Idaho's New Budget for Red Tape
Hitting the ground running, Governor Little recently signed two executive orders taking aim at unnecessary regulations affecting Idahoans. His actions are part of a growing trend, as states and even the federal gov…
SMOLLETT: Broaden the search
While O.J. Simpson tirelessly scours the Earth looking for the real killer of his wife, perhaps he could keep an eye out for the two guys in MAGA hats who mugged Jussie Smollett in Chicago. Just thinking.
STAR: More info, please
Would it be possible to have your Consumers’ Advocate revisit the articles about the STAR Card?
2020: The Democrats' dream
Allen Mazur’s letter, Democrats Deserve 2020 Support, is a joke. Mazur and his liberal ilk want you to accept open borders, late and after birth abortions, dismantling our Constitution’s protection of free speech, …
The draft resolution that changed the world
The Press last week intercepted the first draft of a Kootenai County Republican Central Committee resolution. It’s April Fool’s Eve, so with strict adherence to political protocol (and a discreet wink), we now shar…
PIKE: War against anglers
What’s next after pike? First lake trout, now walleyes and pike. By the way, anglers cannot keep bull trout or cutthroat trout, including hybrid cuts (the red slash rule). Hey, Fish and Game, circle up, draw your w…
REPORT: More mud ahead
Now that the famous, much-waited Mueller report is out, you might think that would be the end of it. No, it’s just the beginning all over again.
DEMS: Put up or shut up
Why is it when the Dems do wrong it is swept under the rug? Now if the GOP do wrong the Dems have a witch hunt trying to discredit the GOPs. American voters get your head out of the sand and ask yourselves is this …
