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 …
COVID: Trust these sources
The mindless mendacity of politicians, the media and bureaucrats at every echelon is mind-boggling.
MASKS: Same as seat belts
Regarding the article titled “ISP Troopers remind motorists to buckle up.”
MASKS: Wisdom to our kids
I’m hearing a lot from friends and even my own kids (all in their 50s) telling me they don’t like the government, city, state or federal, mandating masks. They say it’s unconstitutional, don’t have to do it, and th…
MORTALITY: Re-ranking nations
Sandra Boynton in her rant against President Trump uses deaths from COVID-19. It is far from instructive on the subject.
TRUMP: Rise up, support him
Regarding a letter from Sandra Boynton entitled, “Trump: Rise up against him,” Boynton displays her ignorance of what a COVID-19 mortality rate is. She lists a number of countries along with their total number of d…
MORTALITY: Beware fuzzy math
Sandra Boynton in her July 26 letter to the editor seems to base her whole premise on fuzzy math when she accuses President Trump of a “huge lie.” I think the mortality rate is not just the total number of deaths p…

Masks for Mardi Gras,

HERO: Tribute hits the mark
Thank you to Dennis Doyle, an American hero and a Marine. Mr Doyle shared some of his life’s story which included his caregiving to his wife and his belief that mask wearing is important.
MASKS: The right choice
I just want to say I am so proud of Panhandle Health for voting to mandate face coverings for Kootenai County. I am a very very big supporter of Pro-Choice and this is the right thing to do to protect people in our…
MASKS: Keep this in mind
I am tired of the whole mask debate. I recently received this from a friend and I thought I would share with our wonderful community. Please take heart.
MASKS: Resistance unwarranted
Now that President Trump himself, as well as his Surgeon General, have publicly announced their support for wearing masks, I would hope many of those who have been reluctant might come on board. But I still hear a …
MANDATE: Right call, PHD
We so appreciate approving the mandate to wear a mask. Kootenai County reported 1,427 cases and three deaths. People who won’t comply are selfish and negligent for their fellow man/family/friends.
