Managing the checkout at a Dollar General is infinitely more honorable than providing legal aid to illegal aliens in Texas

They will never take enough of your money until they get to 100%.
If Democrats win the Senate and the House next Tuesday, one concrete goal should be estate tax reform that:
1) lowers the exemption from $15M to (say) $5M per person, and
2) ends "step-up basis," which lets capital gains built up over a lifetime escape income tax entirely at death.
My very rough estimate is that this could raise around $100B a year more than current law (happy to be corrected if the number is off).
My goodness we don't hate the liberal elites enough.
If you go to bed on election night and don't know who won a midterm congressional race, that's normal. And if you wake up the next morning and find that a candidate who was behind hours earlier has since pulled ahead, that's normal, too. (via @PolitiFact) to.pbs.org/4zqnWBa

In the name of Christian unity on Reformation Day, I think we should all agree that Martin Luther was right about the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

I don't hate this guy because he's a Democrat. Or a Muslim. Or a pretend doctor. I hate him because he's a condescending, arrogant prick who talks down to everyone. Only an imbecile would vote for him.

For the 100th time: Lindsay James, on a rare occasion she actually showed up to work for a change, also voted for those tax credits.
They were used to build hundreds of homes in the community for hard-working Iowans-- one of which I purchased at market value.
I'm a builder. Lindsay is a liar.

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

Ms. Rachel genuinely doesn’t deserve a platform. She doesn’t possess any sort of critical thinking skills, so truth in her eyes is whatever fits her social agenda.
In reality, this is such a non-story. Some 3yr old kid (Nevada) was reportedly hogging the ball, not being rotated, & pushing other kids around on the field. And when one of the parents went to a ref to complain, Nevada’s parents caused a huge scene and got into loud verbal altercations with other parents.
The police got called. The police declared it a civil matter & left. So the league asked Nevada & his parents to leave, & they left.
But of course, Nevada’s parents couldn’t leave it there. They went to social media and claimed Nevada, a 3yr old child, was kicked out because he was “too good”. And Ms. Rachel, being the abject moron she is, bought the story and amplified it. Shame on her.
Ms. Rachel invites a 3-year-old Black boy to her show and calls on sports teams and soccer stars to step up, celebrate his talent, and help him after a viral video shows him being kicked out of a soccer game by police for being too good ❤️👏
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Police were called by the league director about the mother’s behavior. In the 911 call he described her as unruly, following him and calling him names while filming. The “too good at soccer” claim is the parents’ account of the dispute.

In other words, Josh Turek will do and say anything to get elected.

While @iowademocrats are contemplating rolling @turek4iowa into the Des Moines River for his ad that men shouldn't play in women's sports the @IowaGOP is united. We are ready to vote, ready to win and no wonder why with responses like this they lost the caucuses! Elect Repubs!

So this Alex Cooper chick is just an actual demon sent to tempt women into ruining their lives, right?

Lahn and Sand each made one article for the Iowa State Daily. Notice how one of them is about having something to pass down to the next generation (the cornerstone of civilization) and the other is about wanting to let potheads run amok.
Great to know where their priorities are...

Men are not allowed to have a single space to themselves anywhere at all ever
"where all-male fraternities play an important role..there are just too many horror stories waiting to happen. Forcing these organizations to admit women, as well as trans &nonbinary students, can make campuses safer for all...whatever their gender" nytimes.com/2026/10/16/opini…
