Donald Trump’s taxes or lack thereof are sucking up media oxygen.  Meanwhile, Bill Clinton may have done his best John Edwards impersonation and fostered an out-of-wedlock child.  Which story will media keep chasing? If you recall the Edward’s saga, the fellow travelers in media did their best to avoid covering the news of the sneaky Senator...

A woman once stopped me during a remote broadcast and told me we had met at her church some years before.  I expected a pleasant conversation when she blurted out, “I find you depressing!”  When I asked why she shared, it’s because I’m so often the bearer of bad news...

200 years ago someone who looked like you may have been nasty to someone who looked unlike you.  Does that mean you need to write a check today as an apology?  Does the federal government need to share your tax money with groups claiming aggrieved status because ancestors were held in bondage...

Scam season has returned to the Magic Valley this autumn.  Sgt. Dan Thom from the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s Department explains some of the confidence games have reached epidemic levels.  Unfortunately, some of your neighbors have lost significant amounts of money because they didn’t do their homework on offers that sounded too good or threats from anonymous people claiming to represent the gove

I love German food.  Twin Falls Kiwanis Club is sponsoring its annual October Feast on October 12th at the Turf Club.  The dinner is the club's biggest fundraiser and is for a host of great causes.  Ray Parrish joined us on Top Story (in costume) today and gave us all the details on time, cost and who'll benefit (HINT:  It's many of your children)...

Having just returned from a long weekend, I’m a little late with my debate analysis, but here we go.  Trump won the first-third.  I think he may have been told to avoid attacks to look more presidential.  The result may have been to keep him a little too cosseted and tipped the decision in favor of Mrs...

What should Twin Falls look like in 5 years?  Or 10 or 25 or 30?  We spent a few minutes this morning with Jonathan Spendlove.  He’s a Community Development Planner for the city.  In a few short days, you’re invited to a public hearing to offer your input on what you envision...

A riot is just one step below civil war.  What’s going on in Charlotte, North Carolina hints at the latter.  Let’s be honest, no one wins in these violent outbursts.  Or, the only winner will be the government, which has most of the planet’s military hardware...

Refugees and Islamic terrorists are once again at the top of the news this week.  Many of the fears across the country are magnifications of life in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Imagine prosecuting a crime when you can’t use fingerprints, confessions or eye witness testimony.  Twin Falls County Prosecutor Grant Loebs joined us today on Top Story.  This is also the day where a Presidential panel is recommending that many current prosecutorial tools be scrapped...

A sure fire way to deal with terrorism is to kill terrorists.  All this claptrap about it breeding more is a spurious argument.  It’s like saying Germany inspired the French Resistance through brutality.  What Resistance?  The numbers of Frenchmen and women violently opposed to the occupation were small...

We need to get serious about domestic terrorism.  Donald Trump may be just the man for the job.  Today on Top Story, much of the program focused on the latest terrorist attacks in New York, New Jersey and Minnesota.  I noticed I had no telephone calls or emails from whining liberals...

Hunting seasons are opening across Idaho for a variety of birds and venison.  Kelton Hatch joined us today from Idaho Fish and game.  He talked hunting, fishing and etiquette for outdoorsmen.  We also talked safety and training and fielded telephone calls about pronghorn sheep, rattlesnakes and limits...

What’s worse, a deplorable or an illegal?  Do you realize Hillary Clinton was at a LGBT rally when she called tens-of-millions of Trump voters “deplorables”?  Think about how things have changed.  Once upon a time, the transgendered folks were thought odd...

Hillary Clinton must be having nightmares about her school days.  Remember the brown-nose who sat up front and knew all the answers?  Not always a bad kid, but often drove everyone else nuts.  She was the girl who was also the tattle-tale because it scored even more points with the teacher...

This morning, I saw a comment on social media asking where all of Hillary Clinton’s defenders are. It appears many of them have gone silent after seeing yesterday’s video of the former Secretary-of-State being poured into a campaign van...

The latest highly paid athlete to disrespect the flag and national anthem is a linebacker for the Denver Broncos.  This Sunday the Seattle Seahawks as a team may follow the example set weeks ago by malcontent Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers...

Not every registered Democrat praises Karl Marx.  In a post last weekend, I mentioned it’s often far too convenient for mainstream media and liberals to label every fellow American to the right-of-center a fascist.  In heavily Republican Idaho, there are many differing factions...

One of the most prevalent theories about the assassination of President Kennedy is he double crossed the mafia.  In Chicago and West Virginia, there were mobsters who helped deliver a very close 1960 election to Kennedy.  Then, in the White House he named his brother Attorney General and warred against the mob.  Less than three years later, Kennedy was dead.

In our continuing series on firearms, permitless carry in Idaho and training we spent part of the morning with Forrest Andersen.  Forrest is the proprietor of Washington Street Pawn in Twin Falls.  This week I went to the range at Shaw Shooting in Hagerman with Forrest.  I even fired off a few rounds after 30 years of range rust.
