GOP: Sad transformation
As a young and conservative college-educated voting millennial, I am appalled at the way the GOP has changed over the last few years. This party no longer reflects the traditionally conservative values of smaller g…
TRUMP: The great alienator
If Jim Hollingsworth needs to convince Idaho’s Republican choir to vote for the Democratic mole Republican nominee, then say hello to an HRC landslide. Donald Trump is trailing in every poll in every battleground s…
LIBRARY: Beware 'the policy'
I am writing to inform any resident who uses the Hayden library. If you do not know about “the policy” you might just get stuck with fines for materials you have checked out.
FAIR: Clerk on right track
Kootenai County employees who draw their pay prior to having earned it. Certainly, Commissioners and other elected officials do not “draw” in advance, do they?
FIRES: And fire fighters
On Sunday afternoon I witnessed something incredible. Not the heroics at the Ironman competition, and I’ll never diss that. No, it was wildfires west of the state line with Washington.
TRUMP: My kind of narcissist
I found Mr. Black’s article in Tuesday’s Press “Donald Trump: A study in narcissism” most interesting. First of all, I think the writer needs to tell us which party he supports because the article sure sounds like …

FAIR: Audit, indeed
What did I miss?
TRUMP: He's a fool
Some letter writers attack Hillary. I agree with them. Other letter writers attack Trump. I agree with them also, with one exception: Trump is not a traitor; he is just a novice (i.e., “fool”).
Nothing conservative about job growth
Idaho leads the nation in year-over-year job growth, and many of those new jobs actually pay well, with good benefits.
LIBERALS: To be feared
I’m writing in reference to Arnie Anton and her liberal jargon and knocking Mrs. Vonda Kerr’s highly intelligent statements on the criminal Hillary Clinton.
HEALTHCARE: A painful gap
Don’t we all just love it when the well-to-do (Republicans) rave on about how good it is to be able to get the best health care? Do they ever think that the average American can barely afford the cost of even moder…
