*Pretty easy to curb; A) not everyone needs a Bachelor’s degree to make a decent wage. B) Most of gen-ed credits COULD be obtained through Junior Colleges, thusly lowering that debt. C) There is, and will continue to be, a shortage in the trades sector that pay well and are good careers. D) Students are choosing some ridiculous majors that will NEVER repay their debt, so stop taking 14th Century French Lit as your major.
*“With one-in-five jobs in Iowa being tied directly to trade, and Mexico and Canada as our state’s top two trading partners, getting this deal done is a must-do for Iowa.
Farmers want markets to sell their products. In Iowa, Canada and Mexico are our two largest trading partners. We need Congress to ratify USMCA as soon as they return from August recess to provide relief for U.S. farmers.”
“USMCA passage is critically important as Mexico and Canada combined represent America’s No. 2 export market for soybeans and soybean meal.
*Positive action on the trade front is needed for both improved morale and marketplace fundamentals. It represents a good first step toward restoring demand for U.S. agricultural products and builds momentum for resolving the U.S.-China trade impasse. USMCA maintains zero tariffs on U.S. soybeans and soy products while including an enforceable Ag biotechnology chapter to support 21st Century innovations in agriculture and soybean production.”
“We definitely need to get the USMCA agreement passed. It’s just huge for agriculture. I’m hoping both sides can work together to get it done.”
*“With Mexico and Canada being our #1 and #2 Ag trade partners we need to update our trade agreement and continue our long term relationship with them. Infrastructure is already available to ship our great Ag products, so let’s get this agreement signed.”
*“Exports are important to Iowa pig farmers like me. Twenty-seven percent of the pork raised in our state is destined for international markets. These markets generate for Iowa about $2.1 billion in total sales. Combined, Canada and Mexico is the largest market for U.S. and Iowa pork. If Congress would ratify the USMCA, it will protect Iowa pork producers from being caught in the middle as we were when the countries did not have an agreement or understanding in place.”
*“The USMCA is important to Iowa, it’s important to our company and the country. We look forward to Congress passing USMCA because we support free and fair trade.”
Wow, these are the opinions and thoughts of the people that live in mason city? the majority of you are just absolutely childish and willfully ignorant. the majority of you arent even clever enough to forge decent insults. the majority of you just use talking points and repeat things you get from the biased news sources you decide feed you a version of reality that YOU like. this thread is just a great example of why mason city is such a shit hole lol. bunch of stereotypical retards. it is amazing the ignorant stupid shit you people think and say. id love to see an average iq of mason city. its got to be bordering just above forest gump levels. half of you on this site shouldnt even be allowed to share your opinions because they are literally built on made up things, fake news or your own delusions and goofy fantasy lives. honestly if a natural disaster came and wiped out half of mason city itd hopefully be the right half and the rest of us could move forward. i really dont think ive ever been in a city where everyone can not wait to hate everyone else for anything they can find to hate them for. this town is filled to the brim with people who are so brain damaged they all think they are better than the next guy. truth is we have some real skanks running around thinking they shit gold and must be the smartest person alive. its causing problems. read half the opinions on here. they seem like they are written by folks who reside in trailer parks. towns disgusting and boring and its residents are ALL losers in one form or another. bunch of wannabe intellectuals, drunks, meth freaks and mental cases is all ive seen in mason city.
Feel free to leave at any time. Either do it on your own or we will drive you out.
Feel free to leave anytime. You can either leave on your own or we will run you out you stuckup, snobby a-hole.
Just because you were a worthless student doesn’t mean you should blame the teacher. Some people just aren’t very smart. Most of them post on here.
There are two major elements in a person’s development. Heredity and their environment. Unless you believe 50% of the people are born stupid, then a teacher is probably the reason there are so many dumbocrats.
What you don’t understand is that the teacher isn’t responsible for your education. You are. Many people don’t take that responsibility seriously and they pass that down to their children and grandchildren. Putting it all on the teachers is like saying it is the doctor’s fault you became sick because he or she didn’t make you take the medicine or do what you were supposed to do to become well. When you make a statement like yours about a teacher, some don’t realize that not all teachers are like that. Very few are actually. But, the mindset is there and if a student doesn’t do well in class, he believes it is the teacher’s fault for not cramming his brain full of useful information. Sounds simple. Tell me all the right things and I will remember them and use them The only problem is that it doesn’t work like that. Being smart depends on where you are. I wouldn’t do well in an operating room. I suspect you wouldn’t either. I would venture that in certain places you are quite smart while in others, you aren’t. I know that about myself and about others. Teachers taught me to think that way. Thank God for them.
Teacher are brainwashing our children. Look at the climate thing and how they pushed the kids to get involved. Any teacher that promoted that should be fired.
“Climate change “ is the new catchphrase?? The new and improved bandwagon?? Absolutely hilarious! Weather changes, Climate can be anywhere anytime and is DIFFERENT depending on where you are standing! Look at weather historically speaking before you jump on the “bandwagon”. A little research can give you far more information than a fake media report!
Most do , check population you fool
if you only knew who i am. im not stuck up and you couldnt run me out of town on your best day, b*tch.
If you such a tough guy, why don’t you tell us all who you are? Afraid of the backlash? Skeletons in your closet? Coming out of the closet? you are nothing but a chicken shit loser.
wow, i never said i was a tough guy or thought of myself that way. i am just very confident youre a bItch and so are most other posters here. i notice you posted anon trying to call me out… real cool lead by example cock sucker. did “calling me out” as im sure a douche of your caliber calls it make you feel like a big girl? maybe you should pick your flappy pussy lips up off the floor and get a life. defending mason city is like defending charles manson. youre wrong and everyone knows it. loser.
You do think of yourself that way. You just proved it by calling people names and saying i couldnt run you out of town on my best day. That is tough guy talk but you dont back it up. Still a chickenshit loser.
I do.
Peter, are you at it again?
the people who dont like the op comment are the meth heads drunks and skids this post was about lol. anyone who would defend mason city is a piece of shit or ignorant. anyone who would post anon and try to call another person out asking their name is a b*tch. dont see your real name, b*tch. never claimed i was a tough guy, what does that even have to do with anything, i am just very confident that the person who threatened to “run me out of town” is a weak callow ineffectual sophomoric friendless loser who probably couldnt run himself down the block no less physically remove anyone from anywhere lol. usually the toughest guys make threats on north iowa today lol gimme a break. whos the real wannabe here? me the honest person who is willing to admit mason city has problems or the as* defending this town because he is stuck here for whatever reason and needs to live in a fantasy that its a good place to raise kids or own property? i wouldnt be the least bit surprised if you where on city council or some shit. nobody else would defend this town. youd really try to fight me because this city is a shit hole? someone get crazy pants ip and turn him in as the loose cannon emotionally disturbed little fink he is. next time you threaten me try posting under your real name. i have never claimed to be a tough guy but im not gonna take shit off some half wit and ill tell you mine when you make yours publicly available. skeletons in my closet? thats a strange thing to assume about a rando screen name you can not differentiate from a hundred others dont you think you f*ckin nut? lets hear your amazing back story! i been in the same spot for over a decade doing just fine. you seem like an unhappy angry little dip shit though? maybe its your super tiny penis(look i can make outlandish baseless assumptions about randos too). can i ask why youre up at this hour? some of us get up early to fish or hunt, id imagine you just havent slept since you filled your meth pipe last week? loser small dick loser B*TCH.
Your psychotic break is coming soon. Find your meds.
All losers?
Because of THEIR NON-BELIEF that they keep getting HAMMERED time after TIME, WE started out as a CHRISTIAN NATION and along the way certain STATES have LOST all these beliefs along with the TEN COMMANDMENTS , YOU have WILD FIRES BURNING CLORIFORMIA up each year on the WEST coast and you have HURRICANES destroying the EAST coast and GULF Coast ALL of these locations are known for their corruption and now the MID- states are getting their share. ALL of these STATES have turned their BACKS on GOD . Now they are PAYING the PRICE.. IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN IT, Then WHY are all of YOU SO WORRIED about a THOUGHT OR PRAYER. I know WHY !! Because in the BACK of your mind your ( SOUL ) is telling you SOMETHING , The TRUTH. in the END DAYS the SIN shall be WIPED AWAY.
Well, it isnt a christian nation. so get over that. yours and every other religion on the plabet need to be abolished before we can move foreward as a species. we have all these mentall ill people we cant treat because they have faith, so we dont call it schizophrenia because there is a book at the center of it? you talk to people that dont exist, you hear and feel the presence of some entity you cant explain to anyone else, you think some omnipotent force exists and actually cares about you. tell me how thats not schizophrenic? i got a buddy whos schizo and occasionally when he starts gettin strange we will ask him to prove to us whatever he heard or felt was is or will be real. it helps him understand that if we dont experience it its just his crazy and usually that understanding provides the confidence to at the very least ignore the voices and urges caused by his mental illness. maybe next time you feel the lord guiding you or wanna talk to a wall you should ask a person with an intact psyche if youre just being bat shit crazy. there is no god, just an excuse for people to control and kill other people. grow up you nutcase retard.
So there were no hurricanes and wildfires in biblical times when everyone was go fearing?!?!?!?!
ARE YOU SERIOUS LOL, who are you in real life? like i have some stickers you can put on your helmet and we can even talk about loosening the straps so your brain gets blood flow. this is the single most hilarious and absolute saddest thing i have ever read or heard a jesus freak say. THERE WASNT WEATHER BEFORE YOUR CHRISTIAN GOD? do you understand that your cult is one of the younger “religions” in history? are you retarded? i mean. just…. youre a retard. gods do not exist, your god was made up on the fly and then used as an excuse to cmmit genocide all over the globe. you know the whole planet didnt believe in your stupid made up god ever at any point in time. why dont you pray for the earthquakes and the hurricanes to go away? god damn i did not think people as stupid and useless as you could even breath on their own. you are a prime example of why abortion is a good thing. i just cant can not believe an adult wrote that shit lolololol i mean REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! im done with this site for the day. you made me laugh so hard and yet made me so sad at the same time. you live in america in 2019 and you think if more people just had faith in your fake god that the weather would be more tame on the coast? you need to look at how fronts and pressure work. SCIENCE will explain weather to you. You can not be a real person, right? just the best troll ever?
THERE IS NO GOD! All made up! How do your THOUGHTS and PRAYERS usually work for you? There is no such thing!
When we die, We fall asleep! That is it! THERE IS NO HEAVEN like you think there is. There is no hell! THERE IS NO AFTERLIFE! YOU FALL ASLEEP! All this crap about people dying and not suffering anymore it is because THEY ARE DEAD!!!
So says the godless hater. You will certainly burn in HELL!
THERE IS NO HELL!!! I will not burn there! I DIE AND FALL ASLEEP! If there is, I WILL HAUNT YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!
You will piss and moan and cry oh God please help me and he will say go to hell unbeliever.
How can i say oh god, when GOD doesn’t exist! Moron!!!
where is your proof. if you can show us one shed of actual proof your god exists then maybe he can come to the table and answer some questions. its your god that gives children cancer and kills them. its your god that allows babies to be born in third world countries and die with flys crawling on their eyeballs and distended bellies. its your god that allows child molesters to exist, its your god that doesnt come down strong and smash islam and all its followers, its your god that lets disease and poverty exist. your god is a psychotic sadist and needs layed the fu*k out like the piece of shit little b*tch he is.
Proof of God? You want some? Just look out your window. See the beauty all over? See walking, talking, thinking creatures out there? See children playing? All examples of God’s work You don’t have to look that hard.
Pretty easy to curb; A) not everyone needs a Bachelor’s degree to make a decent wage. B) Most of gen-ed credits COULD be obtained through Junior Colleges, thusly lowering that debt. C) There is, and will continue to be, a shortage in the trades sector that pay well and are good careers. D) Students are choosing some ridiculous majors that will NEVER repay their debt, so stop taking 14th Century French Lit as your major.
You can’t major in 14th century French literature. You can study it and it can be your passion and your specialty, but you can’t major in it.
You Dumb Ass, you missed the whole damn point.
No, i didn’t miss the point. Your snarky comment at the end was what I was referring to. I know community colleges are a great alternative to 4 year schools if you want to go into an occupation that doesn’t require 4 years of schooling. the people who do choose to go to universities to study literature may have a passion for literature and wish to develop that passion and help the world understand itself better through looking at the past.
i dont need some ass to help me understand literature, 4 year college is for people that want to act like whores and sluts do drugs and drink alll the while wasting their parents money out of some twisted sense of entitlement then when they get their degree in some useless thing nobody cares about they move back into moms house and sit around complaining that they are over qualified and cant get hired anywhere, reality is nobody wants to be around some person who thinks they are better than everyone else because they majored in shakespearian bowel movements.
LOL
Corey didn’t need to be subpoenaed because he volunteered to go in for questioning before they even got the subpoena. He had already gone through over 20 hours of questioning from 3 other groups including mueller. It was awesome watching him make fools out of the democrats
Most Americans hold the House of Representatives in utter contempt for this goat and pony show they are putting on at our expense.
They are so unprofessional for a House Judiciary Committee. How do they expect results, when they treat citizens with disdain and disrespect, rather than trying to pose honest questions and listen to what these folks are saying. A very tacky showing from so-called, professionals.
You poor stupid sheep. That bit was a setup on a (supposed) com edy TV show. That vapid tramp Harris couldn’t duel wits with anyone, she’s not a big thinker on her feet. She, nor anyone like her, will ever “get our guns,” there will be one huge, bloody incident when you TRY…and it will be your undoing. That will start a bell ringing that can’t be un-rung, and you might see someone coming for something of yours.
Bernie, You are not going to do anything . You Demos are not going to have the chance to ruin this great Country again. We deplorables will see to that. Every Republican and every Conservative and I hope all the other Free thinking , God Loving people will get to the poles and put a stop to all the insanity that the Democrats have put on our country. We love our America , our Sons and Daughters have died for America. We are not going to hand it over to the party who is out to destroy her without a fight and I hope everyone that feels the same will vote them out including the Rhino’s like Lisa Murkowski…!!!

John Barron, the former board president of the Mason City Foundation (which oversees The Music Man Square), came to the microphone with a list of questions for both council and current Mason City Foundation members to ponder:
“Could other non-profit groups suddenly apply for a gift and expect rapid action for approval?
What would be the limiting factors for other groups?
Did Music Man provide the council members with their most recent financial statement with their gift request for your review?
What is the status of any outstanding loans? Is The Music Man Square solvent?”
KINDA LIKE IS THE HOCKEY ASSOC SOLVENT? NO BOOKS EVER REVIEWED? The blind leading the blind on this council.
This is what happens when no business minds are making city decisions. This should open the door for other non-profits or the city is asking for a lawsuit.
Sounds like he’s unimpressed with the current board president, Barz, who drove most of his board members with her pushy obnoxiousness and abuse. Replaced them with half as many people, most who just moved here and are just looking for something to put on their resumes, and pay no attention to what she’s doing. There’s no manager, just her. The scum who owns the mall just got another $30,000 of our money out of the city council, when he owes $333,320.00, $170,000.00 delinquent. What the hell are we doing here?
Weaver compared what the purveyors of the forthcoming bar and grill inside of Southbridge Mall had to go through for their loan process versus the funding request made by the Mason City Foundation which was only made public on Friday.
yep who you know is driving the town to bankruptcy…
…funny how no MC financial institutions are behind any of this…
It’s time the citizens of America have a voice and remove Jerry Nadler from committee heads of Congress and remove him from his Congressional seat ! Enough is enough of this abuse of power ! This is borderline communistic action what Nadler is doing ! He needs to be removed immediately from congress
And that’s a VERY GOOD THING.
Move to his district and vote against him. That’s the only real option.
Corey was perfect. Took no sh#t and stayed the course answering the most idiotic questions that he has already answered under the Mueller Investigation, that was precipitated by the same people that are running this scam. Great job Corey!
The depth of evil is so sad, people will say anything to try and help their cause. Democrats need to wake up and take their party back from the evil that is running it now.
It’s the Republican party that’s been taken over by an evil, false god, and his followers, wolves in sheep’s clothing. There are decent people at the local and state levels here. Hard to imagine how they can reconcile themselves to supporting him.
Corey shut those Democrats up & made them look like little children whining cause they didn’t get what they wanted…..Absolutely brilliant, he literally made fun of them on the biggest stage!!!
Your penis must be incredibly small.
thanks for being concerned about a persons size. which part of the rainbow flag do you belong too?
So, is he right? Is your penis the size of a cricket? I also wonder if your wife or girlfriend seeks satisfaction elsewhere. Pretty sure she does.
Aw, the dickless pussy thinks he is cute!
Whats wrong with you? why would penis size and gun ownership have any correlation? you realize that youre being a childish immature person? if you want to have a discussion about firearms and how they dont pose a real problem in this country we can do that, youre gonna need to put down your talking points and insults designed to impress ignorant mis informed children. when you have feelings about something wouldnt it be more productive to stop parroting tropes and catch phrases that are not rooted in reality and are basically the go to automated responses of weak minded morons? do you have any reason you dislike guns? do you have any experience with guns? have you ever held fired or even been in a room with guns? do you realize that bicycle accidents account for more deaths each year than firearms? you realize that fast food kills more people in a year than guns? you understand that big pharma kills more people each year than guns? you know that cars kill more people each year than guns? does it make you feel proud to be led around by the hook in your nose? being told what emotions you experience and why? being fed your opinions and talking points by the government? does it feel good being an automaton who just says thinks acts and feels the way they are told to? do you have any evidence that guns are actually a problem? or is it that youre a callow loser who wants so bad to be a apart of a group that they are willing to be a total and utter sheep? youdont know the first thing about firearms, why people have them need them and enjoy them, you dont know any firearms owners or youd realize they arent a bunch of hicks and half wits, you need to do your own real research not using biased liberal sources, you need to get out behind a firearm and experience it. bet if you experience it for yourself and talk to educated people and do your own research youll have a blast and youll grow up through that minor experience. the way you seem to think right now just makes you a childish immature dip shit. your statement above that you think just because someone owns guns means they have a small penis and get cheated on? really how does that even make sense to you? does that seem like something an adult says or does? not to mention its sloppy as an insult, generally insults need to be ruooted in reality and pick apart specific sensitive parts of a persons life.
habits friends family face ect. honestly anyone could do what you did, its a half assed half smart attempt at wit and humor for no reason, if a gun owner was being cheated on whom would that be with? the type of women who like gun guys do so for a reason. no glitter beards, no soy latte, no vape. they like those type of men because most well developed mentally stable succesful and driven women want men. its just a simple fact. evolution and nature push women towards men who dont sit in front of screens typing up data entry forms complaining about their carpal tunnel. the kind of women who are atrracted to your modern soy boy snowflake are usually crazy drug addicted low rent skids or diseducated dumb ass losers. liberal women generally are whores with too much tolerance for their own good. you keep dicking down chicks that have blown every nig in town to prove they arent racist and the adults will find the women with jobs that can drop a deer at 85 yds with a good ol slug. see anyone can make up shit and say it like its supposed to be witty and hurtful… even when its just dumb ass babbling. the point is until you give us reasons supported by facts that yopu have such a negative attitude towards firearms and the people who own them you need to just shut your little c*ck sucker. gun people are not your enemy, you are just an ignorant mentally unstable little jack as**. instead of trying to understand people you look for a way to divide, it is insane because youre choosing to divide yourself from others based on your own lack of knowledge and absolute surplus of ignorance. you have been brainwashed to hate firearms. you dont actually have any reason to dislike them, you just dont think for yourself. the fact that youre probably either in your early twenties or just a b*tch probably have alot to do woith you weak mind and idiotic thoughts. i really hope you can see the light seperate yourself from your liberal cult and grow the hell up.
Another threat.
Is anybody else having big problems with Mediacom? More than usual? TV, phone, and internet all out, and Mediacom saying they can’t fix it until Oct. 1? Do other towns get service this bad, or is it just the management at the local Mediacom office?
what do you expect from a company that over charges and will go to any length to screw you, they know they are the only real option, i mean you could use another locally available provider for slower speeds not even capable of online gaming or barley able to stream no less multiple screens. its the same as alliant being able to screw us and screw us and scam us and then raise their rates every 6 months. north iowa loves to allow monopolistic companies to rape its citizens financially. north iowa and especially the mason city area are absolutely the worst places to live in the state i dont care how many articles mason city pays for to say the opposite. its costs to much to live in mason city there is nothing worth doing for fun and the crime rate is outrageous compared to the lies they tell about it. section 8 is really helping turn mason city into a gutter. more black criminals and useless buildings thats all we ever get
Before the next election, be sure to research all candidates. For example: This man O’Rourke got drunk. He then decided to drive a car. He drove that car at a deadly speed & launched it into oncoming traffic. He hit an innocent person. He fled the scene. This man demonizes you & your guns as “dangerous” He’ll take them if he becomes President. He can still drive & buy alcohol. He should be Booed off of every stage wherever he goes.
Just like our governor.
Terry Branstad’s son, Eric, has been arrested repeatedly for alcohol-related offenses, starting when he was a teenager, and even killed two people while driving drunk. In 1991, he was the driver of a car involved in a crash in which two people were killed, and was ticketed for improper lane usage and fined $15. Shocker: he was also on Trump’s campaign staff. https://www.apnews.com/6dc14502b6ac4335223b2363f3e70c4d
What a disgrace to repeatedly and unjustly attempt to bring down this good man and others without cause due to false allegations and no due process. Very evil and uncalled for. The real crime is bringing committed by the perpetrators.
Even Trump doesn’t claim he’s a good man. Why on earth would you? He admits here that he’s committed crimes! https://youtu.be/2rzB7otOeHA
The power grab of the Liberal is done. America sees that World Problems allowed by them have made us circumspect of what we do, and what they have done.I don’t trust them.America can be repaired, and will be. My advice to them.Put down your Bong and face reality. Get off your butts and do something that makes sense.
We should all file class action law suits against Facebook twitter google apple news and main stream media companies. Hit them hard where they care
The minimum number of plaintiffs to file a class-action lawsuit is 100, so we can’t “all file class action lawsuits.”
Well, maybe in about 15 years that class action suit will be settled. Keep dreaming. You might get a couple dollars for your wait.
*When will we pass a law requiring sensible media control? If our 2 A rights can be subject to “sensible control” so can the 1A. Start by requiring background checks and licensing for journalist.
I’m looking forward to the day Chuck and Nancy will no longer be in their positions so Congress can actually get something substantial done.
Our government shouldn’t give one penny to other countries, illegals, or all the unnecessary government officials whose salaries are from $175,000 to who knows, best of healthcare, pensions, and other benefits!! Until we have no homeless, poor, or needy people who are legal citizens!
When people leave a state, they take their paychecks with them. This has HUGE consequences. States like Texas benefit, and states like Illinois—and New York and California—should pay attention. “People move to Texas because they’re attracted to the Lone Star State’s jobs and opportunity,” says TPPF’s Chuck DeVore, who came to Texas after serving in the California Assembly. “States that drive them away—with high taxes and ridiculous regulatory burdens—would do better to imitate what works: liberty.”
New York and California are both growing. In fact, they are both growing much faster than Iowa. So the premise of this argument isn’t even accurate. It isn’t taxes or regulations that drive away business (California is famous for both yet has the largest economy in the country). There is so much more that goes into where businesses locate and those things clearly trump tax and regulatory environment. In the case of Texas, it’s availability of natural resources that fuels its growth (taxes could be sky high and it wouldn’t matter because oil companies need oil).
“There is so much more that goes into where businesses locate and those things clearly trump tax and regulatory environment.”
Democrats run California. The DEMOCRATS HAVE A DEFACATION PROBLEM. Therefore California has a defecation problem. Would you want to live there?
I’m sure in Uncle Joe’s dementia infested mind (that’s not a joke), he really believes that story is true. For God’s sake, he still thinks he’s the VP!!
The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with self defense or hunting. It is in place to allow the people to protect against a government that does not follow the will of the people. In short we are armed against men just like this guy who are trying to take away our constitutional rights.
What is so sad about TRUMPSTERS is that: they know he is SENILE and losing it every single day he is in office and they still support him! SAD!
TYPICAL WHITE SUPREMACIST TRUMP SUPPORTER!!!
California announced Monday that it has added Iowa to the list of states on its “travel ban” because of its new prohibition against funding gender-transition surgeries under Medicaid.
This coming from a place where they have no regard for biblical law even though a majority of citizens are Christians.
They ignore the teachings that for centuries said that God created man and woman. As well, they shame and lambast those who believe in God’s words in order to get their own paradigm of right and wrong. Where there is no consequence of sin.
Yes, as Catholics we are taught to pray for and pity those with a sickness of mind, that they may find the right path in life, that they atone for their transgressions against not only the laws of God, but of the secular world.
That they have chosen to shun Iowa is good in a sense. It means that we are doing the right things, that we are sticking to our beliefs. But it also means they will target us even harder in following their Godless ways.
It’s obvious you’re no Catholic, and no religious law has any place in this country’s government. Government-imposed religion is what drove the Pilgrims here in the first place.
Insanity rules the Demonrats, and common sense is GONE. These fools are beyond help
Valarie Jarrett can stick her debt of gratitude where the sun don’t shine!
*Yet another Democrat seeks to destroy the 2nd Amendment and disarm law-abiding citizens, leaving them defenseless against evil people and a tyrannical government. Mandatory “buyback” is confiscation of guns. It is not our President moving us dangerously close to a Civil War. It is some Democrats who have abandoned the rule of law and seek to shred the Constitution to achieve their objectives, having decided their freedom-loving fellow Americans are the enemy.
1ST. ADMENDMENT: FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. ORANGE MAN TRUMP WANTS TO SILENCE THE PRESS THAT REPORTS THE TRUTH ABOUT HIM.
I have never seen the Democrats put out so many nut cases as they have in this election. I think *at one time there were about 15 of them out there. I am still looking for one that has the sense and the knowledge to run this Country, not a one of them would be a good President. If that was all I had to vote for, I would not be able to vote. There has to be one Democrat out there that is sane and stable. Not Yet. The Liberal Community is lacking because of their platform, everything free which would bankrupt our Country.
The sitting democratic party should all be charged with treasonous acts against America for the failure to secure America’s boarders
LOL yes good paying tenants are hard to find
Nadler is out of his mind once again. Trump has done NOTHING wrong. Trump is NOT a politician or dem and you Nadler can’t stand that he won’t bow to you or your damn cronies. You are a joke and maybe you need to be impeached.
I’ve never seen this party filled with so much hate and contempt. It’s all came after 8 years of Obama and the loss of Hillary Clinton who thought she was entitled to sit on the thrown because the DOJ had set it up for her. Only after she lost did we find out about the fraud and the Coup d’etat and the extent of the hate and contempt that Democrats had for this Country and the Constitution.
Nadler should be in prison for using hardworking taxes for their vindictive false accusations. On top of that, Nadler & those involved of mismanaging taxes should pay back every penny, stripped of all government pension & imprison.
The latest attacks leveled against Brett Kavanaugh are beyond the pale. What have we learned in the last few days? – The New York Times writes first and verifies later. – Republicans are presumed to be “guilty” and must prove their innocence. – Democratic presidential candidates are willing to ruin Justice Kavanaugh’s life for political gain. This is all very sad.
Will someone PLEASE publish the phone number of the Fashion Police?
There are WAY too many people wearing clothes that are not only inapropriate but grotesque. We need not have to see exposed rolls of excessive body fat in skimpy clothes!
Stay out of WalMart on hot days!
no, i agree. unless a fat chick is super funny and hangs like one of the boys…. they should be shipped to colonies where they can become presentable and respectable. its always so awkward when some fat girl or women is around and acting like you should make eye contact with them or engage in conversation with them. it is really hard not to snap and be like “how can you go out in public, how can you make eye contact with other people knowing that your not even a shape?” like for real skinny with ass and titties is hot but if youre a girl and your over 135# at 5’10…. youre a f*cking pig.
Unbelievable to watch the Judiciary Committee on CHUMPS ex campaign manager STONEWALLING and LIES! Does not want to answer questions that he knows he lied to just to protect DIRTY CHUMP!
Cory took it to the fools and showed what idiots they really are.
Trump socialism or more correctly, farm welfare to his voters.
“Recently, a second round of funding was announced, authorizing USDA to provide up to $16 billion in
additional offsets, much of which will also be direct payments to farmers affected by the trade war.”
Trump is costing you tons of money, don’t you Trumpanzee’s get it?
The guy is a loser and destroying our country.
AMEN TO THAT!
Are you really that stupid or what? That money is coming from the China Tariff’s. It is not our taxpayer money, fool.
You are more stupid and idiotic than your GESTAPO leader Trump! China’s government and companies in china do not pay U.S.tariffs directly. Importers often pass the costs of tariffs on to cuatomers-manufactures and consumers in the U.S. by raising their prices! U.S. business executives and economists say U.S. consumers foot much of the tariff bill! Research your stupidity and moronic lies that you ars use to by now under Trump before you go off on people! IDIOT TRUMP SUPPORTER!
You have to remember who this is that is posting. It is eLViS, the old guy who lives in Mason City and thinks he is smarter than the rest of the world because he was a low-level employee at a minor company in Iowa. His position was basically telling workers they didn’t work hard enough and because of that, he thinks he is part of the elite. What he has not figured out is that the upper management looked at him as a hatchet man and someone of low intelligence.
You got that wrong dumb ass. My job was to save the jobs of over 200 people and I did that. I took a bankrupt plant and turned it around in less than a year. What have you ever done with your miserable life? Joined a union?
IMT and White Farm were a long way from being low level companies. IMT went from a struggling 15 million dollar company to a over 50 million dollar company in less than two yeas. I was a good part of that improvement. I was doing that while you were sucking your momma’s titt.
For how many months did you save them? Why didn’t White re-hire you to save the plant since you were such a savior? 2800 people think you are lying.
It wasn’t my job at White. And, there were a lot less than 2800 people employed there when it closed. Of course there were people who stole from the company, delibertly destroyed company equipment and assaulted a supervisor and were fired for being a shithead employee who just didn’t Blong there. It runs in the family.
Really? do you feel happy that you used what you think is a big word? the gestapo went door to door murdering people. youre a f*cking moron. if you want to have a conversation, have one. you dont need to say extreme or hyperbolic things to make your point. the english language is filled with words to describe people and situations very very specifically. you sound like youre ten. so im assuming youre under 25, if not you have some severe emotional issues and youre way over the top and ridiculous for an adult. id suggest getting some help. moron.
Trump names his leading five candidates for Top Security job.
Not sure why he is filling a job already occupied. Putin is his National Security Director, geez people..
The position is on Craigslist and listed as ‘Temporary’.
No reason to learn the persons name and face, they will not be in the position long enough to
really matter.Trump’s dementia makes it hard to keep good people.
Anyone looking for 6 months of work under the leadership lunatic Trump,is career suicide is guaranteed.
In keeping with tradition….
none of the candidates will be qualified to do the job, but they will be the spineless yes men.
Kristy Arzberger received another reprimand from the Iowa Supreme Court July 2019.
That is because little Mattie Markwart is a loser and a douchebag.
The media absolutely is a big problem in this country: -They influence the weak minded (of which there are many in this country) through fake or misleading journalism.
They also give mass murderers a platform to infamy and give ideas to the next mass murderer.
HOW is THIS possible? A racist cop from New York City, on vacation in Nashville, Tennessee, breaks into the home of a black family at 2:30 a.m. While inside, he spews racist insults, calls the parents and kids the ‘N-Word’, and steals their stuff. And this bigot is STILL on the police force – the NYPD. What’s going on? This is despicable.
I have never seen the Democrats put out so many nut cases as they have in this election. I think at one time there were about 15 of them out there. I am still looking for one that has the sense and the knowledge to run this Country, not a one of them would be a good President. If that was all I had to vote for, I would not be able to vote. There has to be one Democrat out there that is sane and stable. Not Yet. The Liberal Community is lacking because of their platform, everything free which would bankrupt our Country.
or between those who want to go back to the 18th century and those who want to live in the present.
Are you out of your freakin mind??? People like you are the reason we have a constitution. Try and take it away, please try.
*Clueless Cortez has no right to apologize for me! I follow the law, those people don’t! She is supposed to be working for the law abiding citizens of the United States! She needs to be put out of office! She incites more problems than helps
*No Democrat, on the Judiciary Committee, deserves to be on it now after their treatment of Brett Kavanaugh. I believe all of this is setting up the next one and making people very afraid to be nominated to the Supreme Court.
**Stop this insanity. This is offensive and irresponsible. These troublemakers need to be held accountable for their deceitful behavior. The media is equally responsible for their maliciousness and lack of professionalism.
*This is a horrifying case of journalistic malpractice concerning Kavanaugh and why everyone hates the mainstream media.
* I understand the First Amendment protections of the press. But when the press is caught and proven to be nothing but a propaganda arm of a certain party or group. Those protections should be mute. The press should be held accountable.
**This renewed attack on Kavanaugh… curious. I suspect this is all a just message to Trumps next nominee-a warning. Makes you wonder if someone has put the word out that RBG is in really bad shape and the Left are starting the offensive against the next nominee now
*Minneapolis is governed by anti-gun political hacks, and these recent beatings prove the need to allow law-abiding citizens to protect themselves, and their property, from hoodlums. Instead of becoming victims of unprovoked violence, perpetrated by sociopathic thieves, let’s allow good people to take out the trash.
It would be better for families and everyone to drop Facebook. Maybe we would start talking to each other again without seeing everyone with their face glued to their phones. It is pitiful how Facebook tries to act like god, deciding what is correct only by liberal standards!
*And the Democrats displaying again their willful IGNORANCE of our PRINCIPLES: INNOCENT until proven guilty. But what is as egregious is their willingness to participate in the CHARACTER ASSASSINATION attempts which The New York Times flagrantly spews.
*So what does that tell you. My God, The Democrats will do anything to destroy our great nation. Remember these events when elections occur. Trump 2020….We need to take our nation back, from the vile occupancy of the Democrats in Congress. God Bless America

As near as I can tell they’ve never even been investigated by HONEST COPS.
+As near as I can tell they’ve never even been investigated by HONEST COPS.
2:05 a.m. Just got home from the bar eh? They have been investigated by Congressional Republicans for years.

Evidence has been discovered that was previously and apparently illegally surpressed during the confirmation hearings.

*If I thought for one minute this was just an expanded background check for private sale (which still won’t work), I wouldn’t mind as much. However, this I believe is a back door way of getting the Red Flag law passed, and then eventually confiscation. Give an inch, they will take a mile. Criminals are going to find a way regardless of what gun control is implemented.
the key to your post is the first 6 words because you never do.
* Hey, AOC ! What insurance do you have? And how long does it take to get a response from your doctor? Many American take months and months to get results from tests and back to their doctors for referrals to the next doctor they need. Doctor get 10 to fifteen minutes per patients now. How much time will they get when you do medicare for all? Where are you going to get the facilities for all these patients to go to. And just where are you going to get all doctors to run them? To care for all the Open boarder people you want to let into our country? Do you even know how long one has to go to school to become a doctor? How many doctors and nurses that will be needed? Have you even asked any of these questions? Or are you still in never Neverland?
You sound really scared of her.
I want the Dumbocrats to explain to Americans what Shall not be infringed means because apparently, my understanding and theirs is not the same.
You have no understanding obviously, so that’s probably true.
*When sworn public officials (sworn to uphold our constitution) or an individual running for public office, publicly announce their intentions to remove or prove themselves unaligned from upholding the people’s constitutional rights, liberties, this is the intent of treason and action should be taken to remove them immediately of their qualification for office or current position as an elected official. #remove beto
**Did you notice there were 0 questions about the economy from ABC? That’s no accident.
Senator Warren should host a podcast called “The Nonsense Zone.” Her entire presentation is preposterous. Yet millions of Americans are buying her overall wish list: that the government should run the economy, that men should be denied due process, and that your money and assets really aren’t yours at all – they are hers for the taking. Elizabeth Warren is a menace to traditional American society. Her vision would curtail individual freedom drastically. If she ever achieves power, climate is the least thing we’ll have to worry about.
Smoke another joint Quinn and go back to sleep
take another Clozapine lARRey
I think since weapons are a right to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government, that we had better start using them for that purpose pretty quickly.
yup, let’s go, straight to the white house

Maybe you should move to her district so you can vote against her.
Moscow Mitch McConnell is the perfect name for him, along with Con Man Don and NO neck Barr, they are tearing this country apart, they have stepped all over the Constitution.
Ever since the Cold War ended, has Russia been so much apart of our daily news, Trump, McConnell and Barr are the worst things to happen to this country since 9/11!
Anyone who hates the USA certainly loves what Moscow Mitch has done.
Obstruction and gridlock to accomplish his narrow partisan goals. Well done, Komrade Mitch!
Another soon-to-be empty retail building come November as Best Buy closes in November.
Before we chalk this up to another failure because of Amazon, I think it is more of a victim to overzealous expansion plans by the company. Big boxes like that are more suitable to larger population areas, not small towns.
I think that begs the question how many more retail outlets will depart the Mason City market because of inadequate revenues?
I thought it was to do with their lease on the building
That’s the official story, but nobody really believes it. With all the empty buildings around, they could just move and probably get a better, cheaper place. They obviously just want to leave Mason City.
Best Buy has slowly been closing other stores in Whicita and Worcester for example. The expiration of the lease is just a good way out.
The Republican Party is a cult, and right now is all about washing Trump’s feet every day.
Trump is now a lackey of the Saudi government.
Trump is also Vladimir Putin’s little bitch and Kim Jong-un’s minion.
Trump was a yellow coward dodging the Viet Nam war draft with his “bone spurs” and is a traitor to our country.
You Trump supporters are traitors, so you dumbass sons of bitches should move to Russia, North Korea or Saudia Arabia.
THEEE BEST POST EVER HERE! THANK YOU!!!
Great post you intellectual giant. I’ll bet you were a star pupil for your libuffoon teacher. Be sure to thank her.
What does a teacher have to do with this post? Were you educated by one? Or did you just stayed home and sucked on mommies titie until you were 18 and was home schooled! MORON!
How is it that we now have one of the best ice arena’s in the area. And business in Mason City is growing by the day! Great for the City!
You really need to get off the drugs!
