“That light still shines. But it’s up to us to keep it alive.”
We’re trying Becky. Lord knows, we’re still trying.
I think a copy of this excellent guest column should be sent to every IFF member and anyone else on the far right who fancies himself or herself a patriot. And while you’re add it, include copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Thank you. Your words specifically stated what our Founding Fathers hope for in the Declaration of Independence and designed in Constitution and Bill of Rights to ensure the country “of the people, by the people, and for people, shall not perish from this earth.”
Our State and the Nation are in GREAT PERIL, when on Video/ audio recorded the Occupant in the United States White House, after having Taken the OATH of THAT OFFICE, Spoken by the CHIEF JUSTICE of Our Supreme Court, Then tells a Journalist that HE DOES NOT KNOW ? HE doesn't know if he must uphold Constitution, Plus another Journalist Terry Moran ask him what the Declaration of Independence means to him, and His Answer is Beyond DISTURBING. IDAHO Population and its Government are "NOT REPUBLICANS" ! That Party, Whether you like it or NOT is gone; WE ARE in the ERA OF TRUMPISM, and LOYALIST to TRUMP ! And it is TURNING to FASCISM Very Quickly. Trump's Bill has "PASSED", Copying and pasting a disturbing part of this Bill ,
*********“This is the $175 billion that goes to ICE for these mass deportations, the detention centers, all of that,” Joe says. “We've talked about this, I think, on the pod, but put that in perspective for folks. The Russian government spent $145 billion on its entire military budget … for over a year — spent $145 billion on its military in the midst of a war.” ********* (Joe Trippi & Alex Shashlo )
This is NOT REPUBLICAN, GOP, Independent, Libertarian This is NOT WHO WE "WERE",
YET we are NOW, UNDER TRUMPISM ! Our State is DEPENDENT on our Immigrants, always have been, even if it was just during Harvest Season. When are we GOING to OVERCOME this TRUMP ADDICTION?
As Becky Funk has so Grandly Said= We don’t have to be perfect. But we do have to be brave.
Today, as we attend parades, grill hamburgers, light sparklers and firecrackers; let’s commit ourselves again to the work of freedom. Let’s raise our voices, not in anger - but in faith, in hope, and in gratitude for the greatest country the world has ever known.
Thank you ; BECKY FUNK; May this 4th of July 2025 BE A SAFE, and SANE ONE !
Mary and I are just asking who you were referring to - Becky or a writer who commented on her piece, so we can better understand what you wrote. That’s all.

Maybe they’ll learn something.

Thanks for the reminder.
I hope when you have experienced enough life to have a modicum of empathy you understand the hatefulness of your position.
I don't understand your post. What do you mean?
I was commenting on the total lack of empathy exhibited by the writer.
Lack of empathy toward…?
I really think if I have to explain , there is no point. Have a good day.

It is clearly stated I was referring to the writer.
