HATE: Press, others perpetuate it
You asked for thoughts … I think Coeur d’Alene Press has an unhealthy fixation on the Aryans. Give it a rest, it’s been decades now. It seems to be Coeur d’Alene’s claim to fame.
PUBLICATION: Pen leaves ink stains
Just received a copy of The People’s Pen, an interesting paper supported by the KCRCC and far right cartoonists and writers. However, it never says who writes the opinion pieces other than saying it’s backed and pu…
MASTERSON: Deep roots in community
Yes the competition for Dist. 1 commissioner is keen this year. But there is one shining star in that race and that is Bat Masterson.
DARAKJY: For GOP central committee
Vote for Damon Darakjy, Precinct 522 Committeeman! With 30 years of military experience, work under Idaho Republican governors, and as a student body vice president at the University of Idaho, Damon Darakjy is the …
ELECTION: Back the Blue
We have a primary election May 21 where four key races will have a direct effect on the immediate future of whether or not the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office and Prosecuting Attorney’s Office keep pace with the g…

NWCCU, the accrediting agency for North Idaho College, is a DEI supporting and embedded organization. Just look at their website.
PROTESTS: Something to think about, kids
After reading about the recent shutdown of various roadways and bridges around the Bay Area by domestic economic terrorists, and the attacks on innocent rental car visitors to Oakland Airport, I cannot say I’m surp…
ABORTION: Here’s the real choice
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was a book that dramatically changed attitudes toward slavery in the 1850s. It illustrated to Northerners, who had no personal experience with slaves, what it was like to be a slave in the South.
HOUSING: Inflation blames goes to Joe
A lot has been said about how we can get affordable housing which of course would tie into affordable rentals. It’s certainly a fine and noble endeavor. The American dream has always been to own our own homes, rais…
PLASS: Does not rhyme with class
I have been hesitant to write this letter, but I believe it is important for the citizens of Kootenai County to hear my story about the Community Library Network. Last year in July, a friend of mine posted on a pop…
TOLERANCE: Consider meaning of that word
As newer arrivals to Kootenai County, we are discovering that there are many here who are not as welcoming and tolerant of others’ beliefs and ideals as they espouse we all should be.
DRUGS: Letter doesn’t represent reality
As I read (and re-read) Steven Reynalds letter published April 19 “Drugs — Time to Nationalize Them” I couldn’t decide if Mr. Reynalds was trying to be sarcastic or not.
INFORMATION: Don’t trust ‘corrupt media’
Great synopsis on Communism April 17, Keith. Thank you!
HERNDON: In one word…ick
One of the creepiest exchanges in Idaho history occurred in January 2023 and Idaho needs to know about this before the primary election: Idaho State Senate Minority Leader Melissa Wintrow asks Scott Herndon (curren…
HEADLINE: Reader takes issue with wording
Words matter. The words chosen for last Tuesday’s headline “Supreme Court lets Idaho enforce transgender care ban” makes it sound like the big bad Supreme Court has allowed Idaho to abandon the care of children who…
