The Idaho-Maine potato feud goes way back in the history books. Here's our senators Borah and Pope in 1937 presenting a box of Idaho potatoes to VP Garner before "a potato eating contest which will be staged... to test the relative merits of the spuds from the two states."

Why can’t liberals just write the truth instead of writing a slanted version meant to evoke negativity? Disingenuous and sad. It addresses all sexualization material in appropriate for minors.

Hot take: That Idaho Statesman column from Deeds was utter garbage. If heterosexual men are feeling so left out of 'the culture' they want or need a place to gather and bond over it, they should be able to, and (ironically) in the process they demonstrate why Pride exists.

This is in response to a local school district changing its mascot from the Redskins: "There is an agenda to destroy local heritage, so long time residents no longer have an identity and so generational traditions become extinct.”

The hospitals affected by this declaration have not required vaccinations for their employees. Healthcare worker shortages have been a factor in the US long before the pandemic.

Are you just going to ignore that the healthcare worker shortage was caused, in large part, by hospitals imposing a mandate that violates the most basic principles of bodily autonomy?
