Medical freedom is more than women deciding if they are going to abort a pregnancy. It is a person’s decision if they want to waive resuscitation. It’s ending untreatable painful suffering. It’s choosing to take a riskier healing path than what’s recommended. It’s deciding what drugs to take. It’s deciding on vaccinations. The trio of COVID vaccinations was not welcomed by everyone. Some people decline to receive them. It used to be we had a right in Washington to decline medical aid. I guess that doesn’t count if a lot of pe...
It’s shaping up to be the year for conspiracy fans. UFOs are confirmed by the U.S. military and now government censorship through social media platforms is acknowledged. “We are in regular touch with social media platforms … We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during a July 15 press conference. She was speaking alongside Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy about information provided about COVID, treatments and vaccinations. Psaki outlined steps the Biden Administr...
Memorial Day is not to honor living veterans, but the military personnel who died in the line of duty. “We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic,” said U.S. Army Maj. Gen. John A. Logan in 1868. It was three years after the Civil War ended. Logan was the head of...
Whitman County was placed in Phase 2 restrictions three weeks ago and we waited for a return to Phase 3, but now that isn’t going to happen. Gov. Jay Inslee chickened out. Facing a massive rollback to Phase 2 for Western Washington, meaning Seattle, Everett, and Olympia, he announced his decision to take a two-week pause on changes to counties’ COVID restrictions. Instead, all 39 counties in Washington will continue with their current phase designation. It means Whitman County remains stuck with Phase 2 restrictions unt...
SPOKANE – The research into a new genetic test for beef tenderness may have been stolen by Washington State University, according to Selah-based Tenet Beef. A federal lawsuit was filed against WSU and professor Zhihua Jiang by Tenet Beef in the U.S. District Court of Eastern Washington on April 2. They are asking for injunctive relief and a jury trial to determine if WSU violated federal law to protect companies’ trade secrets and the state’s Public Records Act. An amount of money for damages was not specified, but the compa...

The 19-year-old was allegedly spotted on College Hill running through a stop sign on Colorado Street and driving the wrong way on Thatuna Street, said Operations Commander Jake Opgenorth. De Laura was stopped at 2:13 a.m. He failed a field sobriety test and refused to take a Breathalyzer, but otherwise followed law enforcement instructions. "He was very c...
A new proposed law smells like tyranny. House Bill 1283 would make it illegal for three people or more to open-carry firearms if someone else “feels threatened.” It would be a gross misdemeanor. If a person in “any way participates” in threats or the use of “such force” against a person or property while open-carrying a gun in a group of three or more, then they face a Class C felony. That means the state strips them of their right to own firearms as a convicted felon. The bill seems to be targeting the groups of legal firea...
