They posed with Rex Ingram for an awareness post just days after settling yet ANOTHER harassment lawsuit. He’s our highest paid employee, and he’s costing extra with all the settlements. What a joke. They’ll protect anyone except a victim.
Who will give the best prices for buying guns?
Boise area not really interested in going private party. What shops buy at decent prices? I’ve heard cabellas is the worst and buckhorn is okay? Thanks!
What non Boise metro, non Moscow, town has the best environment for a political progressive?
And I'm realistic, I know it's still Idaho and I'm fine with that. I'm getting priced out of Boise and just want to know who has an actual moderate mix of people, and most importantly is TOLERANT of all people. Thanks!

In the House today, both Fulcher and Simpson voted No, which means they wanted Bayer to have liability protections on pesticides. They care more about their money than protecting Idahoans. Sad.

Why Do Idaho Politicians in the Republican Party Have Such Disdain for The General Poulace?
Why do most all of the Idaho Republican lawmakers appear to show such disregard for the public’s constitutional authority? The Idaho Constitution clearly states that “the people reserve to themselves the power to propose laws and enact the same at the polls independent of the Legislature,” yet measures like Rep. Bruce Skaug’s HJR 4 seek to remove that power specifically on issues like marijuana and other substances. By restricting citizens’ ability to use the initiative process in this area, it raises a fair question about whether elected officials are upholding the spirit of voter sovereignty or selectively limiting it when outcomes might conflict with their policy preferences. By the way this bill had unanimous Republican support.
Best sunset or sunrise hikes within ~1 hour of Boise?
Hey all, looking for some good hikes/views within about an hour drive of Boise for either sunsets or sunrises. Trying to find spots that are actually worth the trip and have solid views.
Sunset hikes:
Would love places where you can watch the sun drop over the valley/mountains. I already know about Table Rock and Camel’s Back, so bonus points for less obvious spots
Sunrise hikes:
Looking for spots where the early wake-up is worth it. East-facing views, mountain overlooks, lakes, whatever.
Open to literally any hikes, long, short, high elevation gain or not, just trying to build a good list for summer. Thanks!

Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles headline Turning Point USA tour stop at University of Idaho
MOSCOW, Idaho – Hundreds of local residents and students lined up more than an hour early Tuesday as Turning Point USA brought its national tour to the ICCU Arena on the University of Idaho campus, with Daily Wire commentators Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles headlining.
One person in line was Julian Gossard. Gossard is a student at Whitworth University in Spokane and wanted to show support to TPUSA.
“I came to this event because I really love America and I really want to make sure this country is heading in the right direction,” Gossard said.
Across the street, protesters held signs reading “Bigots off our campus,” “God hates fascists” and “Be courageous, oppose all tyranny.” University of Idaho student Chloe Belfer Sanford said she came to draw attention to the university platforming a far-right group.
“We oppose the University allowing TPUSA to be here at all because we feel that they represent a fascist movement and that they shouldn’t be allowed to speak on campus,” Belfer Sanford said. “We believe in the rights of all people including immigrants, queer people, people of color, disabled people and we believe TPUSA is opposed to that.”
Belfer Sanford acknowledged both sides are exercising free speech but her problem is with the university hosting them.
“We don’t believe that the university, our tuition, should go to platforming these people,” Sanford said. “We believe that people should be allowed to speak but they are anti-pluralist, they don’t want people like us to speak or to be allowed our freedom of religion or freedom of expression.
Inside the ICCU Arena, Walsh and Knowles took the stage before a sea of white hats embroidered with “freedom” or “47,” black curtains framing the crowd behind them. Within minutes, both mocked the protesters outside.
“Did you see the protest outside?” Knowles said.
“It was a little low energy, I was kind of disappointed. I want more, put some energy into it,” Walsh said.
He used this as a launching point into how the left has become too radicalized. The introduction portion touched on topics including political violence and transgender ideology. During the Q&A portion both fielded questions regarding transgender representation in mass shootings, their support for Trump despite his affiliation and appearance in the Epstein Files, abortion and religion.
Tuesday’s event was the final stop on TPUSA’s “This is the Turning Point Tour,” which also visited George Washington University, the University of Georgia, Ohio State University and Baylor University this spring.

The national debt when Crapo was elected to Congress was $5.6 trillion; it's now $39 trillion.
Yet, he would tell us he's a financial conservative. I don't know how this guy goes to sleep, leaving all of us, including his many descendants, with mountains of debt and a superheated planet.

Do you plan on moving out of Idaho within the next five years? Why or why not?
A lot of people coming in, but also a lot of people getting priced out.
