Farmers & Firefighters are working hard to save the wheat fields for harvest.    

“The religious exemption is the only place in the child protective act that places the parent’s right before the child.” This is factually untrue. Every abortion puts the parent’s “rights” before the child’s. There are roughly 1,400 abortions in Idaho every year. I’m not supportive of the faith-healing religions, but they do far less damage

As I read this, my first thought was “and if literacy keeps declining, are you going to remove the funding?”  The education-industrial complex has done a great job of marketing themselves as just needing more money. Funny, education was better when per student spending was significantly less.  The legislator who sponsored this year’s signature literacy

It’ll be interesting to see how the Idaho Legislators deal with this.  Dan Sevy, a member of the Followers of Christ and a practitioner of faith healing, told lawmakers today, “I want to point out that we believe in freedom of health care.

Campaign officials said that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will be traveling to the Pacific Northwest within the next month for rallies and fundraisers. Republican Sen.

Idaho’s religious exemption from charges of child abuse, neglect, child injury and manslaughter, passed in the 1970s to accommodate faith-healing groups, came under close scrutiny at a legislative hearing Thursday. “The religious exemption is the only place in the child protective act that places the parent’s right before the child,” Mary Jo Beig, an attorney

Whoops! Sorry about that. Back to our hole… An Idaho environmental group that accused a nationwide plastic bag producer of violating federal laws on reporting toxic waste says it made a mistake. The Idaho Conservation League in a joint statement Monday with Novolex says that after reviewing information it now understands that a facility operated

Imagine that. Surprise, surprise!  A year ago, Washington became the first state to substantially lower tuition since the recession. The Legislature poured nearly $160 million directly into the coffers of colleges and universities and capped how much they are allowed to charge students. Some called it a “historic” effort to pull skyrocketing tuition rates back

It cracks me up when people tell me that they are being generous to charity with *my* money.

D.N.C. staffers have confirmed that they were woefully unprepared for the masses of desperate Republicans who have shown up at the D.N.C.’s door, looking for safe harbor.

They are blocking positive educational options because they are “for the kids”. Uh-huh.
