OPINION: GOP’s outrage is Trump’s gain
Idaho Republican Party Chairwoman Dorothy Moon is fired up, and for good reason. At least, that seems to be the co…
A big win for Osburn
Congratulations to Osburn Chief of Police Jason Woody
MEDICAID: Who are our representatives working for?
Both Senators Crapo and Risch voted to gut Medicaid which is how many children get health insurance, gut SNAP, gut food stamps, gut WIC, but still voted to allow those making over $500 million a year to get a tax c…
SAVE ACT: Suppresses the vote of women
Sen. Crapo has co-sponsored a bill making it harder for married women to vote. He claims this new law is to affirm that only citizens can vote in federal elections. There are some non-citizens holding green cards a…
TRUMP: The irony of it all
It is pretty ironic that the richest man in the world tells some of the poor that they have or are spending too much money. He’s chainsawing the veterans’ health care and social services in Idaho while our state le…
IRS: Cuts benefit the wealthy
Trump just cut the number of IRS agents, making them unable to continue collecting billions in back taxes from wealthy tax slackers. Those IRS agents were bringing in a lot more revenue than they were costing in wa…

I think people expect legal and ethical behavior from legislators and the voters of District 2 can be assured that they will get that from me when I am elected in November.
LETTER: Dist. 2 Voters lucky to have Hearn as candidate
District 2 voters are fortunate to have a candidate such as Tom Hearn running to be their state senator.
REGAN: Uncommon sense
Mr. Regan criticizes George Orwell’s advice to “reject evidence of your eyes and ears” and proceeds to tell us to reject the evidence of OUR eyes and ears by not believing what we saw and heard these last couple ye…
HARRIS: High time for a woman president
I’ve been thinking that it’s high time for a woman president in our country. Hillary Clinton came close to it in 2020, getting more popular votes than Trump, and now Kamala Harris is very capable of fulfilling that…
PRESIDENTS: Characteristics of the best
The United States has had 46 presidents since George Washington took office in 1789. With presidential elections coming up soon, it is wise to go back in time and document the positive characteristics of the best p…
TRUMP: Jury decided his guilt
TRIAL WAS RIGGED? PURE FALLACY! Ralph Ginorio writes in a June 5 letter that Trump’s trial was rigged. A jury of carefully chosen peers, both male and female, justifiably decided his GUILT! Comparing this trial in …
MARGASON FAMILY: Thank you for support during difficult time
