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 …
GARCIA: Cd’A is paradise
To bad you feel that way Ms. Garcia. I’m from SoCal. I was born and raised there. I lived there until 2006. I moved here in 2006. I moved here before California and the whole west coast became a rathole.
OPEN PRIMARIES: Vote no
Do not be fooled. This initiative is not what it seems. It is ranked choice voting. Ranked choice is as unfair (socialistic) as it can be. How it works.
LAWYERS: They should be defunded
The anger we all feel every time a criminal gets away with an obvious injustice, or a politician goes on destroying our democracy without consequence, is just. It isn’t the law that let’s these people go but the la…

In response to Juanita Garcia’s letter published 9/10. Perhaps it’s a parody.
PATTERSON: 'Farcicle dribble intended to incite'
This morning I read with great sadness the political opinion piece regarding NIC.
PATTERSON: False information
I don't know what is worse — the fact that Anne Patterson can't spell Brad Corkill's name correctly or that she believes Art Macomber can give an accurate history of the backstory of NIC's issues?
GRATITUDE: For Sen. Risch’s staff
I would like to thank Charles Adams with Sen. Risch’s Washington, D.C., office and Elizabeth Coppess with Sen. Risch’s Coeur d’Alene office for helping me with Social Security problems that stretched to 13 long mon…
PRIMARIES: Should be closed
One potential pitfall of the open primary system is that it enables party crashing. Party crashing is a form of political sabotage that occurs when members of one political party take part in the primary of the opp…
USA: Some items missing from list
In response to USA: More than one disruptive man, I felt compelled to point out a few items that were missing: Did you ever think an American president would work so hard to destroy the very fabric upon which this …
CDA: You can have it
I give up and will move back to San Francisco this week. I sold my home in S.F. for a little over $800,000 and moved to Coeur d’Alene during the COVID epidemic during the winter. I rented an apartment near the Kroc…
