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 …
ADLER: Paving way for Paulette
The guest opinion Feb. 12 by Dr. David Adler on praising Romney is extending the left media jawing. Dr. Adler is disavowing evidence and carrying the torch of the broken down narratives against President Trump.
SOTU: Crayolas for Nancy
My take on the State of the Union address while it’s still fresh in my mind: If you’re a liberal, socialist, Democrat, you might want to turn to the comic page and stop reading this — right now! Here goes.
COLUMN: Romney was showboating
Regarding David Adler’s opinion piece on Mitt Romney, in our legal system of jurisprudence, a man is innocent until proven guilty. It was not up to President Trump to prove his innocence. Romney’s vote being predic…
DEMOCRATS: Don't follow Pelosi
How sad to watch Democratic Party members wait for the green light before applauding for a 100-year-old war hero, a 4-year-old girl wanting a better education or a military family’s surprise when they were reunited…

TRUMP: Corruption continues
Trump now has two FOREVER scarlet letters, the big “A” (with porn star) and the big “I” (impeachment). He was the first to have a member of his own party vote guilty (true Republican Mitt Romney).
INMATES: A major gamble
Before an inmate is housed in a jail/prison, they go through a classification system to determine where in that facility they will be housed. A very important aspect of that classification system is their prior cri…
URDs: Let people vote
I’m going to keep it to the point. The citizens of Kootenai County are being denied an opportunity to vote by Commissioners Bill Brooks and Chris Fillios.
TRAFFICKING: Give police their due
Sunday’s article on the new Human Trafficking law is a great opportunity for raising awareness of the dangers to young women in Idaho — and I’m glad for it.
MONARCHY: Maybe inching closer
Reference Mike Buzga’s request for facts regarding the word “monarchy.”
STANDARDS: Unwarranted, unwanted
In “Are School Core Standards Dead: Educators Weigh In On Uncertainty” (Feb. 21), both Post Falls School’s Jerry Keane and Scott Maben of Coeur d’Alene Schools blithely opined that some replacement for Common Core …
BROOKS: Get to know him
This upcoming May will host a primary election for a number of important and significant positions in our local government. While most of us go about our daily activities trying to ignore all the political signs, t…
