The City of Palouse is considering an increase to the nightly rate at the RV park for the 2018 fee schedule to go into its yearly budget.

There is a new machine being tested in Montana which could decontaminate toxic mine tailings while recovering valuable precious minerals for everyday use. Gold, silver and other metals are essential for our cellphones, computers and electronic devices and their sale could offset the processor’s purchase and operational costs. If pilot tests are successful, the inventors envision building them in the United States. The potential market is worldwide because there are over 3,500 tailing ponds awaiting treatment. For now, it is a South Africa c...
Different view I read Nicolas Kiessling's statements against Coach Leach last week, and I must state a different view. If what Kiessling says about what Leach said, is accurate, (and I have no reason to believe that it is not) then I must applaud Coach Leach. I think it is ridiculous for millionaires and multi-millionaires to take-a-knee and somehow claim that the USA is oppressing them because of the color of their skin. Are they so ill-educated that they can knowingly and purposefully disrespect the flag that approximately 650,000 Union...

Brian Williams of MSNBC wondered whether the repeated use of the word "sovereignty" was a "dog whistle." CNN's...
