How You Can Write and Publish Articles for Idaho Falls and Southeast Idaho
Writing articles at IdahoFallz.com is free, easy, and pleasantly surprising how your ideas can kick start asynchronous interactive discussions among local people you’ve never met. I encourage anyone and everyone to write and publish their own articles that you feel relate to Idaho Falls and southeast Idaho.
Why write anything at all here? I said long […]
County Commissioner Dave Radford Asleep On the Job?
(submited by user: “Sharpie the Pen”)
Politics is an interesting profession. You campaign to get people to like you and give you free money to get you elected, then you work for the government, which appears to me to be a much less results oriented operation than any place I’ve ever worked for.
With all the work […]
IdahoFallz.com - New Ownership Information (it’s about TIME!)
O.K., here it is, finally - Information on the sale and new owner of idahofallz.com.
Some months ago I was researching some information on the internet, and I came across a website dedicated to discussion in our home town of Idaho Falls. I was very impressed with the some of […]
Paper Checks Belong to a Bygone Era
I saw the flier when I walked into Smitty’s recently, and I read the message, but it did not hit me until I read it again when paying our bill and leaving. The Idaho Falls Smitty’s restaurant will no longer accept personal or business checks!
I think it did not register in my mind at […]
Should Authorities be Separating Mothers from their Children in the San Angelo Polygamist Community?

Admin Note: IdahoFallz.com has for some time has had a “no religious discussion” policy. It is a good policy to maintain. Let’s keep this the discussion away from religion and keep in on the legal accusations and police involvement – and what should and should not take […]
Three Steps to End Our War on Drugs
I am surprised nobody has yet written an article at IdahoFallz.com about America’s decades-old War on Drugs. I read many comments where site users express their desire to read and discuss the Drug War. I personally waited to write about it because people who bring up the topic tend to be quickly smeared as “another […]
Grass Roots Libertarianism
I am a registered Democrat, which has been a losing proposition in Idaho (especially Eastern Idaho) for me these past 25 years.
I started out as an ardent conservative Republican, but before my third presidential election I found I could no longer toe the party line. I couldn’t continue to support the idea that […]
Hostility to Homeowners-Why Bailouts Are Bogus
The agreement in the US Senate last Thursday to create new bipartisan housing legislation reflects pressure in Congress to tackle the mortgage crisis. Despite the emerging consensus among the parties in favour of more government intervention in the housing market, the final shape of the bill has been influenced by a curious coalition opposed to […]
Let the wolf hunts begin
The reintroduction of wolves thirteen years ago began a long-arcing circle that has finally made a turn the other direction. Pro-wolf forces enjoyed thirteen years of watching the reintroduced wolf packs multiply and grow a population far larger than the original plan. Finally, the wolves have been removed from the endangered species list, Idaho can […]
Local News Station KPVI Stole My Work
This morning I discovered that our local NBC news affiliate KPVI published a news story on their website, and the graphic they used was stolen from my website, the IdahoFallz.com blog. You can see clearly from the attached images that they used my “IFPD” picture taken of an IFPD truck, originally published on IdahoFallz.com as […]
