WALKOUT: California stroll?

I think the adults are the adults and kids are the kids. I don’t think the adults were doing a “counter protest” at the fairgrounds. They were doing their Second Amendment rights. Seeing this state is a pro Second Amendment state, or was, I was very surprised to see how many kids participated in the walkout. I’m sure that a lot of these kids have moved from the West Coast with their parents and have brought their left-leaning views with them. I made sure before I moved here from the West Coast that I left “stupid” behind.

'Old Timers' of the Northwest

From an historical perspective there is no getting around it the Washington state wine industry is an "infant" compared to other appellations around the world.

HUNTING: No to auction tags

We oppose the sale of any Governor’s Big Game Auction tags for Idaho’s wildlife. Recently Idaho’s legislators and IDFG are talking of selling 12 more “Governor Auction Tags.” The selling of these tags is for only a special interest group of people. This plan would be an abuse of Idaho’s hunting heritage, of Idaho’s wildlife by Idaho sportsmen and would create additional resentment and distrust for the legislators and IDFG.
