HEARING: THE SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE SECURITY OF THE U.S. REFUGEE ADMISSIONS PROGRAM
Looks like city hall more or less gave up all the way on the whole Human Rights thing. Not a big surprise, considering the effort most of the council and Eric went through to put it down and fill it with board members who they could trust to do the little things to make sure it never functioned. They barely even post agendas and meeting minutes anymore.
I feel sorry for Emily. She is only doing what they told her to do. Its management and not the reporters fault. She does a good job with what they give her to report on.

What a tasteless interview that KIMT had Emily Boster do last night with that RETARD Harrington. He beat a dog to death and KIMT did an interview on it, he tried to shed a tear bur heartless assholes cant do it. I cant believe that KIMT couldn’t find something else to put on the news. Man who is running the show up there?
You can tell a lot about someone when they “ban” you, lock you out, cover things up, won’t respond to questions. Really, it says more about them than if they simply were honest and open. It still seems that some of our elected local officials fail to understand this concept. And that is a shame.
Not knowing why he is mad, the modern black man has been baptized into this world by democrats lies, anarchistic video games, television programming and social media. He attempts to be politically correct in the absence of a political IQ. The resulting pathology has created a disorder of personality, always inpatient with his life as it is, and blaming forces outside himself for his self-induced lack. Thinking himself blameless, he holds others culpable for his suffering, indicting the Establishment and citing the age-old Luciferian liberalism of grievance justifying insurrection. The black man’s life is filled with angst, the protagonist of his own personal revolution, in which anything that stands in his way – that questions his autonomy, hinders his self-expression, slows his ambitions, convicts his moral or ethical being, affronts his sensibilities, and stands in the way of his immediate gratification – can be vilified as racist, unfair, unjust, intolerant, and therefore intolerable.
Matt, you should only allow paid subscribers in the Whiner’s Den. That’s where the juicy stuff is. I’ve learned more about Mason City from this site than any other. Just do it. You’ll have more subscribers than you can handle.
I was wondering why a local business (breakthrough webdesign) wouldn’t host their own website (or the ones they design and sell) in the same state?
Something must be going on with Whiners Den, as I got a different looking page yesterday when trying to post.
Did older Whiner’s Den comments get wiped or did they all get reported?
Katie I know a few and they are above the law just ask them, and oh look out for them when they are not in uniform/badges they are smart asses looking for trouble. Jailers are the same.
Issue after issue involving the Cerro Gordo County Sheriffs Dept. Time for a change at the helm. I think they seem to think they are above the laws they are enforcing.
