LIFE-SAVING AMPUTATION PERFORMED IN TIGHT SPACE BY KOOTENAI HEALTH SURGEONS
Dr. Edward DeTar and Dr. Marcus Torgenson have performed more than 1,200 leg amputations combined over the course of their careers. But, until Thursday, neither Kootenai Health surgeon had amputated a leg inside the cab of a semi-truck. On Thursday morning, multiple emergency response agencies were called to the scene of a three-semi accident on icy Interstate 90 near the Rose Lake interchange. One of the men involved in the accident, 54-year-old Aleksey Tikhonov of Soap Lake, Wash., was trapped in his truck, his right leg sandwiched under a pile of logs and debris.

Trudeau Makes Emergency Call To Premiers After Trump’s Inauguration
resident Donald Trump’s “America first” inauguration speech prompted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to make an emergency conference call Friday night to his provincial and territorial counterparts. Trudeau was reportedly trying to convince Canadian premiers that his Liberal government is prepared to meet the formidable trade challenges that a Trump presidency presents, most importantly renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Calgary Conservative Member of Parliament Michelle Rempel told The Daily Caller that the Trudeau government remains a threat to the stability of Canada-U.S. relations because of the domestic policies of the Liberal Party. “Ultimately, it doesn’t matter who the players are, who the prime minister sends to Washington, not when Trudeau’s policies are the polar opposite of Trump’s,” she said.

The Split Personality of the Trump Presidency
Combining state authoritarianism with a hands-off state in domestic affairs is not viable. There is a way to make sense of this seeming contradiction. When Trump started putting together his administration, he developed two standards for his star performers: they had to share his enemies (the relevant ones of which are mainly or almost entirely on the left, as the confirmation hearings have clearly shown) and they had to be accomplished and experienced experts. That leaves the libertarians.

Which States Did Americans Leave in 2016?
Nearly two people moved out of New Jersey for every person who moved in. It's probably not a coincidence that New Jersey finished dead last in the Tax Foundation's annual state business tax climate index. Illinois, New York, and Connecticut also saw large exoduses. Migration patterns for 2016 show that Americans tended to move away from high-tax states and into states where residents keep more of what they earn.

Thank Goodness for Tax Havens!
So-called tax havens should be applauded, not criticized. According to the left-wing hack organization Oxfam, places with good business tax policy are ostensibly bad because politicians have less money to waste.

Gold dust was common target of thieves in early Boise
Sneak thieves and burglars were on the lookout for anything of value they could get their hands on in 19th century Boise City, as frequent stories in the Idaho Tri-weekly Statesman remind us. The earliest such robberies were of gold dust, when much of the city’s commerce was carried on with that preferred medium of exchange.

Globalist media can’t imagine why putting our country first would be a good thing
For many Americans President Donald Trump’s inauguration speech was a breath of fresh air, the beginning of a new way of doing things in Washington that actually puts the American people first. For others, including most of the corporate media, his speech was terrifying as it marked a stark turn in direction from one of promoting and pushing a globalist agenda to one of actually putting the American people ahead of global governing bodies like the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund.

As the corrupt corporate media continues their day long worship of the so-called Women’s March (which in reality is simply a Soros backed anti-Trump protest) details are emerging of Black Lives Matter protesters literally attacking women who tried to enter the inauguration while police stood by and refused to do their job.

National Park Service apologizes for tweets showing poor inaugural turnout
The official Twitter account of the National Park Service was restored after briefly shutting down when a staff member retweeted images implying there was a low turnout on the National Mall for President Donald Trump's inauguration. Media reports about the size of the crowd also drew a rebuke from the White House during a press briefing on Saturday.

Thousands converge for Women's March nationwide
Protesters in Washington, D.C., and worldwide gathered Saturday for the Women's March on Washington and other demonstrations following the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Thousands of people flooded Metro trains and other forms of public transportation and traveled from across the nation to gather outside the White House for the march on Saturday morning.

Trump, in CIA visit, attacks media for coverage of his inaugural crowds
On his first full day in office, President Trump visited the Central Intelligence Agency’s headquarters to express his gratitude for the intelligence community, which he had repeatedly railed against and recently likened to Nazis. What Trump delivered Saturday was a campaign-style, stream-of-consciousness airing of grievances — at the Senate for delaying confirmation of his nominees; at critics for questioning whether he is smart and vigorous; and at journalists, whom he called “the most dishonest human beings on earth” and accused of lying about the size of his inauguration crowd.
