MY TURN: Project 2025 — Presidential Transition Project

I see from Mr. Regan’s most recent article that he thinks the Coeur d’ Alene Press should be a mouthpiece for his perspective, rather than a voice for the broader views of the community. That doesn’t surprise me. The first thing authoritarians want to do is take over a free press. Democracy dies in darkness, and that’s the whole goal, isn’t it Mr. Regan? You’d hate to have Idahoans know what the IFF and the KCRCC are really up to. Speaking of that, every citizen should know about Project 2025 — The Presidential Transition Project.

GOOD OL’ DAYs: Plenty of good things about them

Susan Crowe’s Good ol’ Days column, June 8, is another in a long string of grievances by those who insist on keeping the memory of American wrongs and injustices, particularly, in Ms. Crowe’s case, committed by “the white middle class,” and by “white males, towns, and families” at the forefront of our history (see Communist manifestos and treatises on how to seize control of a nation). I see a deep-seated distain by her for America since its inception, i.e., founded by white Europeans (inherently wrong), and everything has gone downhill since then.

COMPANIONS: Abandoned dog met with compassion

The story of Loomie in Saturday’s Press moved me to tears. And I’m not even a dog person — I’m a cat lover. But, my heart went out to that little fur baby that someone would so heartlessly abandon and such a cruel way.

Coeur d'Alene council moves to protect history

Approves 182-day moratorium on demolition, work on historic buildings

The moratorium has been a goal of the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, particularly since the recent demolition of the E. Lakeshore Drive 1925 home of the late Dr. E.R.W. "Ted" Fox and the historic Roosevelt Inn possibly facing the same fate with a developer offering to buy the property.

I’m a vegetable gardener at heart, but I also love growing flowers. In the past, I’ve kept those areas within my garden separate — as many gardeners tend to do — having a dedicated area specifically for vegetables and another for annual and perennial flowers.

OPINION: Multiplication of division

America is divided. Ask most anyone and they would likely agree. However, you may not get consensus on the reason for the division, or where the fracture actually lays. It is as if we have a general feeling of division but among your known circle of friends and acquaintances, specific boundaries of disagreement become blurred.

HATE: Let’s not allow the racists to speak for us

I have had the opportunity to live all over this country and I have to say that Coeur d’Alene is one of the most beautiful locations in the entire nation. Well, it is one of the most beautiful locations physically. It’s not so pretty when a small handful of racists take it upon themselves to begin harassing people who are of a different color or race from themselves.
