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 …
PELOSI: Simply laughable
Maybe my granddaughter’s humorous response to my criticism of Nancy Pelosi’s tearing up the president’s State of the Union speech before the world’s undignified, vulgar, churlish, indecent and childish revenge:
TRUMP: Some advice
Philippians 3: 13-14.
PELOSI: Adults in politics?
The way Lil Miss Pelosi (acting like a child) ripped up President Trump’s speech at the State of the Union reminded me of my childhood. If you did that in school, you would have been punished. If you showed disresp…
TRUMP: Quotes to live by
“I could walk down main street and shoot someone and not lose any votes! Amazing!”
AP: Embarrassment to journalism
I have never read such a piece of hatchet-yellow “journalism” that was in your Feb. 5 issue on the president’s State of the Union speech. Obviously the “journalist,” and I use that term very loosely, was from the l…
ROMNEY: Confidential note
You claim that your faith has guided you to impeach our president. I ask that my faith forgive me for voting for you and for believing that you are a migratory northeastern jackass.
ROMNEY: He did his duty
With his speech and his vote to convict President Trump of “abuse of power,” Senator Romney has forever obliterated the Republican Party’s attempts to cast these impeachment proceedings as a purely partisan exercis…
ROMNEY: Stands above peers
Never having been very fond of Mitt Romney, I did not expect that he had the courage and backbone to stand up to the narcissist in the White House in contrast to his Republican colleagues.
STEWART: Has my vote
Former Kootenai County Commissioner David Stewart will have my vote if he decides to run again. I have known David for more than 30 years. He is a protector of the Second Amendment right to bear arms and believes i…
SPEECH: Talk about hair loss
I watched the State of the Union Speech and like many was pulling my hair out. No, it was not over what President Trump had to say.
INITIATIVE: Reasons for rejection
In The Press article on Feb. 4, Mr. Mayville in the very first paragraph declares “… initiative, isn’t tax those who have more money…” then four paragraphs later tells us who it does tax. The rich! People with more…
ROMNEY: The man is right
I admire Mitt Romney and believe his conclusion. We cannot expect God to bless America when there is such a lack of truth and righteousness both in the land and in the White House.
PELOSI: Petulance not appreciated
It’s a sad day when the Speaker of the House reacted as she did. I understand that the Democrats hate Trump but at least they and the women in white could have stood when honoring the young woman killed, the child …
BROOKS: Deserves re-election
I am a Realtor with Windermere Coeur d’Alene Realty and an ambassador for the Rathdrum Chamber of Commerce. I would like to say a few words on behalf of my friend and colleague Bill Brooks.
STARS: At licensing department
I had to go to the Driver’s Licensing Department to get my STAR card. The women and one man who helped me were very kind. I think they went above and beyond their duties to help me understand. A big thank you to th…
