For all you anti-mask folks, as of today, August 7, Idaho has 23,000 cases of Covid-19 while Oregon has 20,000. In terms of population, Oregon has about 0.4% of the population with Covid-19. Idaho has 1.4%. The virus does not care about your version of freedom. If you want this state to rec…
First, Brad Little is doing a pretty good job and does not need to be recalled especially for the foolish reasons Mr. Roske presented regarding the Covid-19 controls that Governor Little has imposed and recommended. Obviously, Mr. Roske is upset that the Covid-19 virus has impacted his life …
For seven years (1993-2001), I was honored to serve as the United States Attorney for Idaho, the chief federal law enforcement officer in the state. I have watched with growing concern as President Trump has eroded our system of justice, and politicized the Department of Justice for his own …
Even in the face of a pandemic that has cost some 150,000 American lives, it is becoming increasingly dangerous to remind strangers they have forgotten to wear their face coverings. People are getting punched, shot, threatened and more.
Trump’s signing of the Great Outdoors American Act makes him sound like he’s some sort of a friend to the environment. Nothing could be further from the truth & is just a ploy to get himself votes in November. Since his inauguration in 2017 he has removed over 100 environmental regulatio…
District 25 is providing everything "learners", formerly known as students, teachers, administrators and staff will need for the upcoming school year. This includes rabbit foot, four leaf clover and horseshoe. Keep schools closed.
The Democrat Party has lost all sense of reality. Maybe not? Check reality. The presumptive nominee for President unfortunately has little awareness of reality. Former VP Biden recently disclosed the Democrat’s radical socialist platform a few weeks ago. The party adopted a platform of socia…
Huston's update on the old Paul Harvey column "If I Were the Devil" was well done and for the most part, translated well for current times, but I take exception to his claim that being opposed to the murder of unborn humans somehow entails an obligation on the part of the anti-abortion perso…
What is it going to take to open the eyes of those uncompromising voters who refuse to accept their error in the 2016 presidential preference? Time and space won't allow me to mention the litany of transgressions, misrepresentations, lies and outright cruel decisions perpetuated by this enti…
How about instead of delaying the election, we do it 3 months earlier? I don't know if we can survive till Jan 20 under this regime.
I’ve been enjoying the weekly satires of Martin Hackworth, whose merry, ribald columns of angry OK-Boomer cliche have rivaled the snark of Mark Twain and the parodies of our true American cultural gem, “The Onion.” When he affects Soviet-style “what-aboutism” on such matters as black-on-blac…

In response to Linda Isonides recent letter in the Journal, she wrote well several concerns that I have shared. I might suggest the title, "All Human Life Matters".
Goya bean spokesperson and Senior Advisor to the President, Ivanka Trump recently visited Rocky Mountain National Park to celebrate passage of The Great American Outdoors Act. She was accompanied by mining, oil, and extraction industry lobbyist and Secretary Of The Interior David Bernhardt. …
In his July 21 letter, Bob Madsen asks how one can be a Christian and still accept Darwin's theory of Natural Selection.
The irrational and frenzied reaction of governments and experts to the corona issue is destroying America. 2020 is certainly, so far, the worst, most depressing year of my long life. And it's not over. The overreaching incompetence and purposeful mistakes are disturbing and probably criminal…
Did you know we have been denied a public comment period during regular City of Pocatello council meetings since early March?P.A.G.E. emailed Mayor Blad on 07/15/20 asking him to reconsider the decision to remove this agenda item. Covid-19 has created difficulties, but multiple other Idaho c…
After watching President Trump desperately tried to prove he "aced" the Dementia Test, I'm ready to say it; Please Sir, I'm tired of winning! Is America great again yet?
It appears that followers of the once existing Republican Party have had an epiphany of its true nature and has morphed, also in some Idaho cities, into the silent but deadly “Party of Grim Reapers”. Often remaining silent, as their response in the face of murderous racism from fanatical rig…
While the nation calls for defunding police forces (not a great idea) our city fathers vote to hire 5 additional mystery officers and drop another $160,000.00 on body cameras. The question is do we feel safer? We were wondering how last years property value increases would manifest.
