Just a guy in Idaho

Idaho guy navigating life amongst the red potatoes and the blue mountains. Daily life is serious, so I’m here for the funny. Also, Go Cubs!

A list of a few things 'Christians' have fought against over time. And now, to see them add 'English language' to that list is insane. Please read the instruction manual!! Jesus said to simply love one another. You're failing!!

I'm encouraged by the national changes, but saddened by Idahoans, still letting the church skew their ideas of good vs bad instead of just reading the Bible and learning for themselves that their religion is supposed to be one of love and support and acceptance. So frustrating.

Jim Risch's media team overbought spots on SNL. After 18 years as Idaho's senator, Jim just keeps reminding me that the ONLY thing he's done is argue with a Utah senator about public lands. Hey Jim Risch...public land is a socialist program. Jim Risch is a socialist?!

The defunding of USAID is going to cause twice as many deaths worldwide as the number of abortions performed annually in the United States. If you’re concerned about protecting human life, shouldn’t those lives matter, too? Keep religion out of our laws. Vote YES on Prop 1

Brad Little's 'Fairness in Women's Sports Act 'might as well be called the "UFOs Cannot Land in Idaho Act." Both address problems for which there's no documented Idaho case. It's political theater: invent a threat, pass a law against it, then congratulate yourself for protecting everyone.

Raúl Labrador claims he fought to protect Idaho's youth, but that lawsuit was spearheaded by Phil Weiser (Democrat), Colorado Attorney General, and Jonathan Skrmetti (Republican),Tennessee Attorney General." Raúl just added his name to their lawsuit and their hard work. DON'T VOTE FOR RAÚL!!!

OMG - I just heard the ad for Cresta AI support and had a corporate PTSD flare up. "Transform the customer experience with real-time tools at your fingertips." Watch my mother, 84, interact with an AI agent and once you stop laughing you'll see how AI is better at selling Advil than at support.

Jim Risch has served almost 18 years, and his TV ad's onlyl message is that he fought to not sell public land (vs Utah Rep). He doesn't mention his personal wealth went from $20M to $52M. He's pro school prayer, “Religious Education Week,” and supports homeschooling. Go away Jim. Time to retire.

The anti-prop 1 folks are bending language in the prop. It does not legalize abortion up to 9 months - it allows it to be a medical option if necessary. There were less than 2 abortions at or beyond 21 weeks (5 months) in Idaho in 2022. (CDC data) Keep religion out of our laws. Vote Yes.

Jim Risch is running ads about how much he's defending Idaho's Public Lands. Jim Risch is also supporting the BLM leadership nomination of Steve Pearce. This is like proclaiming the health benefits of a vegetarian diet while eating lamb chops with your hands. Either defend them Jim, or don't.

Mike Simpson - who looks like he died 5 years ago and nobody told him - used the words 'Idahoans are tired of status quo in Washington DC' in his TV ad. Mike Simpson has been in DC for 27 years. TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS!! Mike Simpson IS the status quo in DC.

It is sad to me that the NCAA and Dr Pepper talk about providing one student with tuition (she threw footballs at a target) while LSU is using $54M in actual Louisiana tax dollars to fire their last coach. $54M would pay 4-year tuitions for 1,083 students at LSU. Priorities, NCAA.

The commercials on the channel I'm watching have offered me 'vibrational therapy', 'full body repair', and 'peak masculinity'. Three things - for just 3 payments of $49.99 - that I'M SURE would make my life better!

Jim Risch - you coward - come back to Idaho and meet us in person. 19 years in office and all you've done is OPPOSE helping Americans - so come talk to us in person (not on the phone) and tell us why you're now just rolling over and agreeing to ideas that hurt us even more.
