For two years now since President Trump’s election, I’ve chronicled the violence, threats of violence and just plain hysteria and unhinged mental illness by Democrats with “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The liberal-biased mainstream media, of course, doesn’t bother to report it.

But how elected officials make judgments and actually vote according to our U.S. and Idaho Constitutions is what matters. Government should be run like a business, with objectivity, a balance sheet and most importantly by following […]

Letter to the Editor: Do not throw away the solid and proven representation Rep Zito provides

Time the truth is out. Rep. Megan Blanksma used Oscar Evans as a substitute to fill her spot in the last session of the Legislature. Rep Blanksma then persuaded Oscar to run against her seatmate.
