HOTEL: What it is — and what it isn't

I appreciate Joan Woodard's concerns that "Urban anywhere USA" Marriott has arrived in the form of a Branded Marriott product. It would be a bonus to see integrated use of materials to fit our brick and stone facades nearby on Sherman Avenue.

CLIMATE EXTREMISM: A distraction

Biden’s foremost Defense Department’s policy is attacking climate change, not terrorism. Climate extremism takes our focus off from our real problems. I recently watched chunks of ice fall into the ocean from a glacier in Glacier Bay, Alaska, a thrilling experience. I read where glaciers in Glacier Park may disappear within 200 years because of global warming. My response… So what. These melting glaciers would have about as much effect on our planet as adding one drop of water to Lake Coeur d’Alene. Climate is continually changing and to think that mere man can change weather patterns, (start/stop a Category 5 hurricane or even thunder showers) is beyond comprehension.

I couldn’t agree more with Diana Braskich’s opinion in “My Turn: An open letter to our Sheriff,” published Oct. 5 in The Press. “If we want to protect children, perhaps the time would be better spent policing the community, not the library.”

MY TURN: Idaho GOP caucus ignores voices of men and women fighting for freedom

As a retired Navy Chief Warrant Officer who dedicated over two decades of my life to serving in the military, I find myself deeply troubled by recent developments in Idaho's political landscape. Idaho's transition from a primary election to a Presidential caucus system, purportedly to encourage voter participation, is not only causing confusion but is also disenfranchising an important portion of our electorate — our men and women in uniform, currently deployed and sacrificing for our nation.

MY TURN: Journalistic integrity versus propaganda

Our journey in life can bring us front and center with individuals who seek to injure others, oftentimes, being injured individuals themselves. They burden other people with mean-spiritedness, dishonesty and cruelty, sometimes, because they’ve yet to heal their own psychological injuries. Such people will present mischaracterizations of others, while they present a biased and colored version of reality in general. These individuals lack integrity.

IMMIGRATION: A takeover

Time to wake up folks. Our country has been fundamentally changed since Biden took office. There have already been over six million souls added to the U.S. over our southern border in just two years. To put that into perspective, that is as more people than live in Idaho (1.9M), Montana (1.1M), Wyoming (580,000), North Dakota (775,000) and South Dakota (900,000) combined.
