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 …
D-DAY: Cannot afford to forget
I wasn’t surprised to see no mention of June 6, 1944, (D-Day) in today’s paper. I am grateful that the Peanuts cartoon always reflects this historic date.
PRESS: Too much criticism of Conservatives
I am a subscriber to the Coeur d’Alene Press. Often times, I wonder why? The constant bashing, name calling, finger pointing regarding the NIC situation, Brent Regan, KCRCC, President Trump, MAGA supporters, conser…
REGAN: Common sense
The worst thing that could happen to our community is if Brent Regan suddenly became as smart as he thinks he is.
CATS: Trapping is toxic
Today humans are on the cusp of wiping the cat family off the face of the Earth. Most modern cat species, big and small, are now in grave decline, losing grounds to humans daily, even small domestics. Predator hatr…

BANDUCCI: Resignation would secure accreditation
A May 26 Coeur d’Alene Press article said the NIC board of trustees voted on a statement regarding its many no-confidence votes. Why? The board’s opinion won’t change the votes, so what’s the point? More striking w…
RESTRICTIONS AND BANS: Many ‘are wonderful’
I am responding to a letter written by Ron Boothe on April 16. There is several problems with his letter. He used to “Respect many Republican values.” Now he sees, “Republicans passing all kinds of restrictions and…
REGAN: Too clever by halfwit
Brent, my guess is you will receive a lot of criticism, “Friday Opinion.” This may be the only one that agrees with you.
LIBRARY BOOKS: What about the Bible?
While the Idaho Freedom Foundation is taking a victory lap over the community library district win, I hope Hanley and Plass get right to work restricting access or banning books with graphic violence and porn like …
REGAN: So many hoaxes
Kudos to Brent Regan for exposing some of the mendacious left-wing hoaxes afflicting our country. As a progressive, I am now utterly shamed to have ever believed any of the hoaxes that Brent so brilliantly highligh…
