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 …
DRIVERS: Is polite extinct?
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all you polite and courteous drivers on the road. You know who you are. You’re the ones who know a yellow light is to slow down and stop instead of accelerating to jeopard…
SAFETY: Water worries everywhere
I read Rich Landers’ article in The Press Thursday morning about water safety and fatalities on Washington and Idaho waters, which seemed so on target with something I experienced last week.
TRUMP: Learn from mistake
We all know “The Trumpster” is a fraud, a pervert, a womanizer, a coward, an ignorant SOB who has no clue how to run this country or the White House. He’s a liar, and from what the experts have been saying, has a r…
GOP: Never better, folks
Reports of the GOP’s death are greatly exaggerated. As Chairman of the Lincoln Day committee for the KCRCC, I am happy to report that our latest Lincoln Day, “Making America Great Again Begins In Idaho” set both at…

AIRPORT: Runway to complaints
In the future, after the airport expansion is complete, readers write:
GOP: One man's view
One has to sympathize with Christa Hazel. She makes some good points, but she lacks perspective.
NEUHOFF: The cat's meow
I just finished reading Tom Neuhoff’s Press column, “In Defense of Cats,” for the third time and it gets funnier each time! I’m a cat person too and his description aces it!
CONGRESS: Tax reform time
“Repeal and Replace” Obamacare was a campaign pledge which obviously didn’t have enough support to pass, at least until after the midterm elections.
POLLUTION: And Trump, too
Congratulations to Ricky Lin on your great letter about pollution. At age 13 you are smarter and have much more common sense then some adults around here.
ART: Let decency prevail
Last time I checked, I lived in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — not New York City, not Los Angeles. I thought I lived in a town that respected decency and good will toward your neighbor. A town where you can take your kid f…
ART: Beliefs under attack
Ali Shute defends the grotesque caricature of Our Lady of Guadalupe at Art Spirit Gallery in an odd way. She claims that the point of art is to “create some sort of dialogue.” Defaming someone’s mother at the outse…
