Nobody in the ’90s had “Roseanne Barr ages better than Madonna” on their bingo card. And yet here we are.

This is why you vote @ZachLahn for governor right here.

"I came to Iowa to support Zach Lahn because I think he's a special candidate... I think Zach is different. I think Zach represents an independent-minded Republican."
"There is no way Rob Sand is a moderate Democrat... He's telling you stuff to try and sell you a bill of goods. He's a Manchurian candidate."

JOHNSTON, Iowa – Rob Sand first pulled out of the third scheduled gubernatorial debate for Iowa Press on Iowa PBS after the tragic death of his brother-in-law, Walter Lauridsen. That decision made sense at the time, and Republican Zach Lahn responded with understanding and offered to work on a new date.
The two candidates had already agreed to 4 debates total, something Sand himself had pushed for earlier in the race. When a rescheduled slot on October 29 became available, Lahn quickly accepted it so Iowa voters could hear both sides one more time before Election Day. Sand then turned around and refused, leaving the October 27 KCRG debate as the only remaining matchup.
See Zach Lahn’s Response Accepting the Offer Here:
See the Des Moines Register’s Announcement After Sand Rejected the Offer: nitter.cf/DMRegister/status/2113…
At this point, Sand’s refusal looks less like a scheduling conflict and more like an attempt to limit how often he has to stand next to Zach Lahn. Lahn has shown up ready for every debate, defended his record, and kept pushing for the full slate of 4 forums so voters could clearly see the contrast between his conservative vision and Sand’s liberal approach.
By walking away from the extra debate after Lahn agreed to the new date, Sand is cheating out Iowans who deserve as much discourse information as possible. The Tuesday, October 27 debate will now be the last chance for voters to watch the 2 men go head-to-head, and Lahn is the one who has consistently shown he’s willing to do the work.

FYI: Giving illegal aliens a driver’s license was never about driving, it was always about voting.

lol. This is why I never do interviews because clips are always taken outa context. First of all my career has been amazing and I’m not unhappy about anything. This was a light hearted conversation before a Nebraska game in my suite box about how “BACK IN THE DAY” some corporations wouldn’t hire some people they deemed “controversial” or “offensive” but yet they would hire other people that were controversial and offensive. That was it. That was the conversation Then here comes the news doing what they do best.. getting clicks by taking the 2 hour podcast outa context. Also, use a better pic than this one. Im much hotter now. lol
Larry the Cable Guy is calling out what he sees as a double standard in corporate America, questioning why some entertainers land major advertising deals while others are considered too controversial.
The comedian says DirecTV missed an obvious opportunity to feature him in a commercial, suggesting his Southern accent and edgy humor may have made companies hesitant.
But he points to rappers landing major endorsements, including Snoop Dogg, and questions why the same standards don't seem to apply.
See the commercial idea Larry believes could have been a huge hit and why he thinks it never happened: foxnews.com/entertainment/la…

Larry the Cable Guy clarified his MeatEater Podcast comments were light-hearted remarks about past ("back in the day") corporate practices in a casual 2-hour conversation, not current grievances, and that his career has been successful with no unhappiness.

.@RobSandIA wants to dig into private schools’ books because, as he puts it, they might be misspending ESA money. Iowa City schools literally ARE misspending millions in taxpayer funds. But now it's suddenly not his problem.
📸 PICTURED: Rob Sand in 2023 presenting his "PIE Award" for fiscal efficiency to Iowa City Public Schools.
Since then, we've learned that they violated state law by moving $38M without required board approval.
They also overspent their capital projects fund by $45M over the last four fiscal years.
They've now had to take out an $8M loan just to meet their cash-flow needs in the current school year.
Our state's third largest school district has spent years wasting our money and the 'Auditor' gave them an award for it.

Today I am proud to announce $1.3 billion of investment in domestic fertilizer manufacturing, starting right here in the state of Nebraska.
This investment wouldn't be possible without the leadership of @PeteRicketts. Nebraska, let's make sure we re-elect Pete this November!

🔥 WATCH: Zach Lahn calls out CNN for repeating billionaire Rob Sand's lies about his family:
"What you're reporting on is $15 million in attack ads spent by a Democrat candidate... Yesterday, some of his more deranged supporters were actually tracking my plane, which only had my minor children on it— something that, in many cases, would warrant a restraining order, but in this case, it's actually warranting a question from CNN."

In 850, a Christian priest named Perfectus was living in Córdoba, the capital of Muslim-ruled Spain.
One day, several Muslims asked him what he thought of Muhammad.
According to St. Eulogius of Córdoba, Perfectus initially refused to answer because he knew that criticizing Islam could cost him his life.
But after the men promised that he could speak freely, he openly criticized Muhammad.
They reported him to the authorities, and Perfectus was arrested.
He was executed in Córdoba that same year.
His death was one of the first in a series of Christian martyrdoms under the emirate.
In his account, Perfectus declared:
“I have cursed and I curse your prophet.”
ISLAM is the most peaceful religion on earth.

This statement is false. The Quran contains many verses that encourage violence against infidels. Many Muslims all over the world have used these verses to justify Jihadism against non-Muslims.
