Most welcome news out of what may soon be Greater Idaho.
In November 2022 two more counties in Oregon voted to join the state of Idaho. Several other counties have already done this in recent years.
The reasons are pretty simple. These Oregonians are tired of being associated with the radical left that rules the city of Portland and drives policy for the rest of the state.
They feel that Idaho, a far more conservative state, much better represents their beliefs.
Conservatives in Oregon fed up with the far-left policies coming from the state legislature in Salem may have hope on the horizon. The Greater Idaho Movement, a secession movement with allies in both the Oregon and Idaho state legislatures, is making progress in its efforts to convince 15 conservative counties in rural Oregon to secede and join Idaho.
11 eastern Oregon counties have already voted in favor of joining Idaho. Due to this success, Idaho state lawmakers have introduced legislation to begin discussions with the Oregon State Legislature on relocating the Idaho/Oregon state boundary.
A Republican State Senator in Oregon introduced a bill to start talks with Idaho last month.
Mike McCarter, the leader of The Greater Idaho Movement, argues his endeavor will give eastern Oregon voters an actual voice in state affairs should the counties officially join. Unlike the urban liberal areas which dominate Oregon politics, Idaho is a rural, conservative state with traditional values.
This week The Greater Idaho bill passed the Idaho House of Representatives.
Good on ‘em. Unfortunately, I can easily imagine Oregon’s legislature stymieing them, if only just out of pure spite. We shall see.

Masturbatory waste of time, as neither the Oregon legislature, the full Congress, nor Emperor Poopypants will ever let it see the light of day, and its further chances are so low they cannot be measured with existing instrumentation.
Just to put the frosting on the cake, even if the (R)s could somehow grease the skids, it would still be torpedoed by them, even if they were actually in power, as the minute they have all the power, they wimp out and fold faster than a Frenchman at a lederhosen convention.
It’s not a waste of time even though destined to fail.
Once again. Simply kick the OR State employees out and replace them or hire them back as Idaho employees.
Let’s see OR send their divisions into Idaho to stop them.
That’ll show A Erica s what lengths they’ll go to to stop us from seeking Freedom.
