PRESS: A Chinese weapon
It appears that the Coeur d’Alene Press, led by Dwayne Hagadone, has become an extended arm of Communist China’s propaganda machine by publishing Andrea Nagel’s column on the front page (not on the opinion page). Ms. Nagel propagates teaching our children about the Chinese virus (COVID-19). She propagates teaching distrust in their own government (don’t watch President Trump’s daily briefings) and instills in children the fear of being labeled a racist through the avoidance of being labeled xenophobic which she accuses our government of being. These are all poor civics lessons for our impressionable youth.
VIRUS: Calm is the key
VIRUS: Calm is the key
TAXES: Follow the money
Here are a few things to chew on, fellow Idahoans.
REED: A teacher’s insights
Mr. Craig Kerwin’s recent polemic against Democrats, and in particular, mocking our mayor, our president-elect, and our own Bruce Reed shows all the symptoms of someone who has swallowed the real “fake news” put out by President Trump and his allies.
NOVEMBER: Remember this, voters
Dear Editor and all who love America:
ABORTION: The American Holocaust
As a chaplain, I have worked with many people, but one I specifically remember is a woman in her 80s that still had nightmares because at the age of 19 she had an abortion.
WAR: Time for U.S. to walk away
It is very strange that our president is now going to give weapons to some rebels in Syria to help them fight a battle with a government that is in charge of a country, and at the same time is doing everything in its power to take the weapons away from its own citizens. Now I have heard that the Russians are going to give weapons to the government of Syria. What next?
TEA: What it is - and isn't
Re: Mr. Shriner's letter laying the ills of our economy at the feet of the TEA Party. His exposes the mindset of those opposing people who desire smaller government, less regulation, higher accountability and greater liberty and shows level of ignorance of our REPUBLICAN form of government typical of those that look to government to solve their own mess.
REFORM: See bills for yourselves
Our children will suffer as a result of Superintendent Tom Luna's plan, ironically titled Students Come First. As parents of children who attend Betty Kiefer Elementary, we were mortified by learning the direct impact within the Lakeland School District as a result of this plan. Furthermore, after researching the plan, we were even more disheartened with the wordsmithing used by Superintendent Luna. It is as if he felt that he could trick us into believing that this would benefit our children. Never have we heard of a governor or superintendent of public instruction propose that increases in class size would improve student performance or in any way put students first.
GUNS: Radical element at work
Radical Islamists have managed to infiltrate one of the most conservative legislatures in the country - Idaho! This revelation appeared to me as I pondered the effects of the bill that denies the colleges and universities in Idaho from banning guns on campuses. Idahoans, think about this. It seems so innocent!
SECURITY: It's actually IOUs
I sincerely hope there is not an adult person living in the United States who is so naïve or uninformed as to believe that there are actually billions of dollars in the Social Security fund.
Only one resolution
From this page on the last day of 2010, we issue our solitary New Year's resolution.
MORMON: And Christian, as well
I will shout from the house top, I am a Christian!
KETCHUM: Good for NIC, citizens
President Obama recently underscored community colleges as critical to our future economic success. It seems that all facets of our society are at a crossroads during this time of extreme challenge. Our local community college is not exempt. We have an opportunity to elect a highly qualified individual to serve on the North Idaho College Board of Trustees.
OPERA: A treat for grateful seniors
We would like to thank Lake City High School for a wonderful afternoon we had Feb. 4.
LAKELAND: Writer in error
I would like to write a brief rebuttal to refute the claims of letter writer Jerry Larson about Lakeland School District. Larson claimed Lakeland promised laptops for in-coming ninth-graders in its last three levies. This assertion is false. The letter writer is confusing the failed Students Come First Initiative from the state with our district goals.
ELECTION: It's about 'us'
We live in an “It’s all about me culture!” Unfortunately, too many voters view the upcoming presidential election in the context of “It’s all about me” and which party or candidate will give me the most freebies, or which candidate do I like or dislike the most. Too bad our self-absorbed culture can’t see beyond the candidates and look at what effect the next president will have on our nation.
AMADOR: Fiscally prudent
With the massive federal debt burdening our future generations, we should be proud to live in a state that often exhibits fiscal restraint and has a balanced budget. We have an obligation to vote for candidates that will ensure Idaho lives within its means. Paul Amador, Republican candidate for Idaho House Seat 4B is the one candidate that I believe will ensure Idaho remains fiscally responsible.

CRISIS: Center for humanity
Kootenai County is in the midst of an expensive humanitarian disaster, but help is on the way. Currently, those who are in mental health crisis are being warehoused in our jails at taxpayer expense. This practice is more expensive than providing proper treatment, provides terrible outcomes for society by criminalizing vulnerable people and introducing them to a criminal social network, and above all, it is manifestly inhumane. But, when law enforcement is called because someone is acting outside the norms of our society, there is no other option for protection of the public. Until now.
