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: Continues to astonish us
Nancy Pelosi continues to stun any thinking person. She objected to President Trump’s calling the MS-13 savages “animals” because, as she said, they all have a “spark of divinity” as human beings. Of course, her re…
VOTERS: Democracy about to be lost
There are those who’ll continue to rationalize and explain it away, but the fact remains: In the year 2000, our politicized U.S. Supreme Court, with utter contempt for the voters and the Constitution, rolled out th…
BULLYING: It takes a village to stop it
Here we go again, another school shooting, more thoughts and prayers, then what? It seems in all of these cases of school shootings that somewhere along the line the school shooter was bullied. Bullying is a major …
PATANO: Visit central committee meetings
We are told that Sandy Patano is the chair of the Republican North Idaho Political Action Committee. These are all significant members of the community, are at heart good people, but who differ significantly with t…
SCHOOLS: Be more like airlines
Why does the department of homeland security protect social security offices but not our schools? The SSA wasn’t up to the task of dealing with denied disability applicants that showed up armed and angry and neithe…

TRUMP: Simply the worst

THANKS: Roger that, friends
I would like to thank all the people who believed in me and supported me. I would also like to thank and congratulate Paul Amador for being so gracious in victory and sharing this campaign with me. Despite being ne…
TRUMP: The beat goes on
Come on, France, if you wanted Trump to stay in the Iran deal, you should have just invested $500 million in one of Trump’s projects like China did; “Make China Great Again” or maybe you could have given millions t…
CLEAR-CUT: A neighbor's lament
Perhaps you have seen the repugnant scar on the south side of Hayden Lake. High up on 50-60 degree slopes, it is a disgustingly obscene scab upon an otherwise tranquil mountain side of evergreen pines, firs and ced…
UTOPIA: Not here, folks
I was watching KHQ mourn their inability to fight drugs in Spokane. Talking about fighting their troubles in the Brownes Addition. Guess they never lived there, any of those pansy reporters. Maybe they never had th…
HISTORY: Devils Tower region
My wife and I just returned from the fabulously geologic-rich states of Montana and Wyoming. We even got photos of a grizzly bear. Fortunately, the bear was minding his own business!
THANKS: Good for Idaho
I just wanted to send a note to say thank you again for your support and help with the campaign along the way. Words cannot express my appreciation for all the support.
