OPINION: Just like everyone else, Idaho’s Attorney General must comply with the law
Three years ago, I joined five other former Idaho Attorneys General in describing that important position as “the …
DEMOCRATS: All they talk about is abortion
According to www.npr.org on March 19 there were 1,026,700 legal abortions in the United States in 2023 after the Supreme court overturned RvW, weird? The most in over a decade!
SNYDER LAKE: More articles like this should be published
I just read the Snyder Lake article by Bill Buley. As a lifelong outdoorsman, fellow mature runner, writer and avid reader I was truly impressed at his ability to put a reader there. Out on the trail, legs whacking…
NIC ATHLETICS: Focus should be on education
Athletics at a junior college level is at best of minimal value to the college or the athletes that compete. As you describe so well, it is beyond reason and comprehension to even consider supporting any junior col…

Wow Mr. Regan and the Republicans are so scared of Kamala that they’re already putting out the birther narrative they used on Obama.
TRUMP: He wants to create an autocracy
I’d like just a few words to address the Trump voters in North Idaho.
HARRIS: Birther claims debunked
Fake news or true story? You be the judge.
SECRET GARDEN: What a wonderful performance
I probably should have waited to write as I am still a bit teared up from The Secret Garden. The voices were superb! I know Little Shop of Horrors will be even better! See everyone there!
HURTFUL WORDS: Help me to understand
I wish you could understand the hurt in your words.
FAITHFUL K9: Dogs were always barking
I’m so grateful that Faithful K9 boarding was shut down. Our business shares a fence with them. Those dogs in their care were outside most of the time, barking, crying, whining, NOT PLAYING with each other. JUST pl…
OPEN PRIMARIES: Voting system is not broken
Kudos to Jenny Holmes on her editorial (July 28) re open primaries and ranked choice voting (RCV). Most all “journalistic” articles on this subject hardly ever touch on the second half of this initiative, as this i…
