As an Idaho voter, I’m glad that I don’t have to choose between Sauron and Saruman.  Skeptical Republicans are warming to Donald Trump after all, and he’s cut Hillary Clinton’s once-sizable ABC News/Washington Post poll lead to 2 points, a new survey released Saturday found. The survey reflects voter sentiment over four nights ending Thursday, before Friday’s […]

The FBI is between a rock and a hard spot — a spot that they themselves created by not indicting her originally for mishandling classified documents.  If they don’t announce this new finding, it looks like they are continuing to cover up for Hillary. And when it comes out after the election, it’ll be worse

More than a dozen years ago, Tami Silicio, a native of Edmonds, Wash., took a photo of the tunnel-like interior of a cargo plane that held more than 20 flag-draped coffins of U.S. service members killed in Iraq and soon to be flown home.

Obamacare premium increases.  This is what she pays monthly for Obamacare with a $10,000 deductible.  This is why so many people are opting out of healthcare coverage for cash-only options. You can talk doctors and hospitals down to 30% by paying with cash.  What we really need is catastrophic insurance options. 

And we still have three days of rainfall to go, with rain predicted each day.  Pullman is already experiencing its wettest October ever.  The National Weather Service is reporting that nearly 4.5 inches of rain has fallen in Pullman so far this month.  That smashes the old record for October Pullman rains set back in

Berglund says he will vote on principles, Jordan to focus on education, infrastructure Carl Berglund, a Kendrick Republican, wants what incumbent Paulette Jordan, a Plummer Democrat, already has – a seat in the Idaho House of Representatives.

From the same people who said “you can keep your doctor”, they now tell us “we can fix Obamacare with just a few tweaks.”  The administration admitted on Monday that ObamaCare premiums are set rise an average of 25 percent on November 1st. However, many states will see premiums soar far, far, far above that number.

They’re highly organized and extremely motivated. They have biker gangs and deep ties in many neighborhoods. They’re ruthlessly polite and unfailingly nice. They’re the Mormon mafia, and they’ll stop at nothing to ensure Donald Trump is never president. That, at least, is what Fox Business anchor and outspoken Trump supporter Lou Dobbs thinks. With two

More on militarizing the peace officers in the USA.  Sometimes you find a deal that’s too good to pass up. If it has 4-foot knobby wheels, is encased in armor with a windshield so thick it barely makes a sound when you rap it with your knuckles, all you have to pay is shipping and

Via the AP:  A small group of Idaho lawmakers did not come to a consensus Monday on the best way to provide medical care for the estimated 78,000 Idahoans without health coverage, and decided instead to submit a long list of recommendations to be considered during the 2017 legislative session. “Chances are better than ever
