Nationally, we’ve lost many of our freedoms, privacy and are being overrun with people who are not American and will over time change our culture, values and way of life. Whether you live in the city or county, it...

MOSCOW, Idaho (Oct. 26) — Sporting events are rarely decided on a play here or there. Eastern Washington, however, might look back at Saturday’s 38-28 Big Sky Conference football loss at Idaho and wonder how things might have played out had it not been for a pair of notable instances inside the Kibbie Dome? What if the Vandals had not stopped the Eagles on the opening drive of the second half at the 1-yard line for a potential go ahead score? Idaho instead went 98 yards for a touchdown and a 24-13 lead, the first of bac...

When President Biden warned FEMA does not have enough money to finish the hurricane season let alone the entire year, it was surprising. Suddenly, we discovered federal disaster relief money may be insufficient for future hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes relief. The frequency of major hurricanes and massive wildfires is draining federal accounts, and replacement funds only add to our soaring national debt. That debt is weighing on our ability to operate our national...
A vote for Harris is a vote for communism We know President Trump’s four-year track record — no wars, secure borders, energy independence (selling oil instead of buying from our enemies), lowest unemployment in decades, highest employment of black persons, fulfilled promise to bring U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, built up our military, initiated Space Force to help protect America and still fighting for America despite getting shot and a second attempt on his life by Democrat operatives.
