I’ll believe it too when I see it..remember, KF is still in charge and calling the shots.
I wish judges would stop with the threats and take definitive action..threats mean absolutely nothing to him and minimal fines certainly will not keep his mouth shut.

So true 👍.. her goal was always to destroy public schools!

I absolutely could not agree more and have said exactly that many times..her goal has always been to destroy public schools and I’m daily surprised at the number of people who agree with her attempt to do it.

Refreshing admission of a mistake rather than doubling down with endless spin. The coverup is always worse than the mistake..fess up and move on.
People are criticizing the umpire for not watching to make sure he touched home plate. I guess after 713 previous, the ump figured he knew where it was 🤷♂️!
If your lawn is in desperate need of fertilization, there’s more than enough bullshit in this one post to adequately do the job.
If you’re still on the fence about @KimReynoldsIA, this article is a must read. She has done more to destroy the sane Iowa in which I have spent my entire 75 years than any other single individual..especially public ed., but not limited only to it! desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/…
Bill Barr showed us who he was when AG..he only changed his rhetoric to save his ass..his legacy will forever be: “when you can’t stand the heat, get the hell outta the kitchen.”

I’ve noticed people who don’t like what I post have no counter opinion..they only know how to attack. I have a strict rule never to comment back to a negative or vile post..so if you’re out there and read this, save your breath, or fingers on the keyboard more accurately.

Not a good look Kristi..but hate of things not personally valuable to you is logical with your stance on most if not all things..shame on you for taking the life of a helpless young puppy that well could have made someone a nice pet..this disgusts me beyond words.

Predictable..as were all bad things happening because of the ridiculous attacks our Governor @KimReynoldsIA and the Republican legislature @IowaGOP have made against public schools.

Someone on here, in an attempt to be critical, surmised I get my news from the MSM..Imagine that, the gall of me to rely on news from the “MAIN STREAM MEDIA”..and that’s really where the MAGA camp is folks!
My favorite line in this story: “…contract only includes $90 million in guaranteed money!” ONLY $90 MILLION..ONLY! 🤷♂️ so sad huh? cbssports.com/nfl/news/2024-…
34 years in the HS/JH classroom, now 20 years retired..absolutely no desire to ever sub and didn’t..this meme pretty much says it all 👇👇👇!
Did #3 get some bad advice from NFL draft predictions? Did a broken leg cost him a spot in the first round? He has all the tools needed to be a great one..speed, strength, athleticism plus a special team gem in addition to ability to be either a corner or safety. Time will tell!
The so called quote “conservatives” on the US SC scare the living hell outta me..and if you really care about democracy, they should scare you as well. Thomas and Alito will blow this thing up if they can..delay justice for now at the very least.

Donald Trump has been held in criminal contempt for violating the gag order. It’s utterly ridiculous that this guy is running for president. He’s a stain on our country. A shit stain, if you will.
Over my dead body will I ever let the Commonwealth of Virginia monitor my girls like this.
Woah. Trump tells @TIME he would “let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans.” This is the future we’re looking at if he’s elected in November. time.com/6972021/donald…
@IAStartingLine How convenient for Rep. Fisher. He votes in favor of school vouchers and then starts his own Christian school using those very funds. Conflict of interest?
@KrauseForIowa Why does Governor Reynolds and the Republican legislators hate ordinary Iowans?
MSNBC is a network that exposes the truth about Trump and the threats he poses. Everyone should be watching MSNBC, 4 pm est. Nicole Wallace and 10 pm est. Lawrence O’Donnell.
Thanks to Nicole Wallace for pushing back today on Elizabeth Neumann's absurd notion that domestic terrorism is a "both sides" thing. It's ONE GUY who's responsible for where we are. It's ONE GUY who's infected our nation with his toxic, violent and incendiary rhetoric. TRUMP.
@don_banning @KimReynoldsIA Finally! DMRegister editor and its editorial board expose the damage Reynolds and the GOP legislature have brought on Iowa…in my opinion, a little too late…still baffled the business and corporate leaders have not protested.
She is ALL-IN on Project 2025 and the white supremacist/Christian Nationalist agenda

You are paying for rich families’ kids to go to private school while your neighborhood school has fewer resources. In 144 districts, property taxes will go up to pay the difference. The voucher scheme is a win for special interests while the rest of us foot the bill.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who remembers vividly how Hillary Clinton WARNED us about trump, how she was 100% right about everything, and is taking her warnings about him very SERIOUSLY in 2024. There's WAY too much at stake.
The Gilbert Activities department would like to wish @TroyBanning a very happy birthday. We are so thankful for all of Troy's hard work highlighting our Gilbert students. Happy birthday, Troy!
Hillary Clinton Appreciation Post! She was right about everything and she would have made a far better president than Trump! Drop a 💙 and Repost if you agree!
@JMeanypants They need giant flags. They need to make a spectacle of themselves. It’s a clown show and Trump is the biggest clown America has ever produced. All we need to do is vote. All of us. No one stays home for this one.
@DMRegister Arming teachers is like pouring gasoline on the fire of gun violence. Reynolds is the most destructive governor I can remember in Iowa’s history.
