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.

FAST FIVE Stephenie Kimener: Life is better in the country

Meet Stephenie Kimener of Long Mountain Meadows. She is a doting wife to Brian and mother to five wonderful children: Christopher, Timothy, Josephine, Benjamin and Gabriel.

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.
