Glenn Robinson isn’t afraid to exercise freedom of speech in a very public way. No, he isn’t a social media influencer. Robinson prefers to use an old-fashioned reader board, which just so happens to be located on a busy intersection in Coeur d’Alene and has received national attention more than once. 
By Sandra White of Hayden, Idaho Imagine if you will, a governmental board where the head has a tool at his disposal where he could instantly pass anything he wants simply by putting it on the agenda. The item could be a bill, a contract, an appointment. This tool forces...
On August 18, 2023, Ariel Mahoney started the day full of life and excited to take the leap into marriage with her long-time love Kurtis. “We went to the courthouse and got our marriage certificate,” shared Ariel. “We decided to celebrate by joining friends in Pinehurst.” The couple enjoyed their visit, then started the return trip home. They hadn’t even made it out of Shoshone County on I-90 before being struck from behind by an intoxicated driver.

Perhaps they would gain...
Like Amsterdam, Hague, Rotterdam, London, and Brussels, how soon before America citizens are the minority in their own cities? This may sound far fetched to those living in the bubble of normalcy in Kootenai County, but if you look at how the influx of interstate migration into Idaho has heavily impacted local communities, consider what it would look like if these newly arrived people were not Americans, but were instead foreign nationals who do not speak our language, do not share our values or our Christian faith, and do not understand or respect our way of life.

The party platforms are the baseline for determining where a person falls on the broader topics and issues. In a perfect world, a person’s integrity and...
Mercurio was isolated from physical contact with ISIS networks, had no means to travel, and had little access to anything beyond online “jihad.” In fact, messages in the affidavit clearly state that his father closely monitors the finances which makes things difficult. The affidavit also notes that Mercurio had little to no knowledge of firearms, had no transportation as he does not have a driver’s license, and had not visited or “conducted any in person activity” at the churches.
I mentioned soteriology in my last column, which is the study of the salvation provided by Jesus' complete, perfect, redemptive work at the cross. This breathtaking sacrificial gift tells us so much about God and not much about ourselves, which is proper because God is fascinating and we are deplorably common and dismal.
