In 1860 when the Colorado territory needed a name, mining lobbyist George M. Willing presented the name “Idaho” to Congress, claiming it was a Native American Shoshone word meaning “Gem of the Mountains.” Days after Congress agreed to call the area now known as Colorado, “Idaho,” they found the word Idaho wasn’t actually Native American so they scrapped the name.
By July 3, 1890 when the area now known as Idaho became the 43rd state, there were enough dummies who still believed George M. Willing without doing any checking and adopted the name. This example of the population’s inability to employ critical thinking, still rampant in the state’s residents explains why they buy into the stolen election and radical left baloney.
Along with its “Famous Potatoes” the state has an abundance of white supremacists, guns, conspiracy theories and natural beauty.
And don’t forget to visit the Potato Museum in Blackfoot; positively spellbinding. Did you know a potato is a tuber and a nightshade?
Mind blown!
