At a time when college debt for American students is at an all-time high, is it fair for some universities to be offering financial resources to illegal aliens?

Pelosi Deserves A Noose along with EVERY other POS Who Voted FOR the Impeachment…BOTH Houses…YES Your LAME Sorry ASS Too Romney.

Hope all the corruption of the Democrats come out right before Barr testify in the house. These Democrats need to all be voted out!

Bernie isn’t gonna win over any more supporters than he already has. He has the radical left. If he is the nominee people will either stay home or vote Trump. He has the old hippie vote and the votes of millennials who graduated from schools that don’t teach economics or real history that shows what socialism and communism leads to. Trump would trounce him!

I remember the good ole days when you at least felt candidates from both partys loved America and supported basic American values.

Sanders continues to make all these ridiculous plans with OUR money. It’s a good thing that President Trump will be reelected!

Seriously Democrats want us to pay other countries to commit the murdering of children only an insane person would say something like that

And , yet will coddle MS-13 members in prison.

A bunch of democratic morons who in their right mind would stand behind socialist communist government especially in America these Democrats have lost their mind

There you have it. The left wants to destroy this nation and will support socialism/communism. I remember as a child when a Russian leader named Nikita K said that the USA will destroy themselves from within. Seems that the Left is on track to do what was predicted.

You know Dems are in trouble when NYT has coverage like this: “How the Iowa Caucuses Became an Epic Fiasco for Democrats; The problems that beset the Democratic Party’s first state caucus of the presidential race ran far deeper & wider than one bad app”.

Everyone is saying that there was/is something wrong with the app. That app worked exactly the way it was supposed to.

For years the Democratic party has been trying to get a much more liberal state as first in the nation. This just gave them a reason, now Iowa is getting marginalized, what was said here doesn’t matter at all.

The Democrats deserve it, but it is one more way those of us NOT on the coasts, don’t count.

100% Right on the money!

If you go back to the beginning you will find Michelle Obama was connected for Smollett’s legal help. He was also in pictures with Maxine Waters and Shifty. I am actually surprised he has not had an accident.

Does Schumer ever govern? The job he was elected to do! When will his constituents realize their Senator has no interest in working to make America and Americans better. His interests lie in delay tactics, prosecution and anything ANTI-Trump. This is a sad excuse for an elected official! Get rid of him in 2020.

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) “protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products. However, both manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible in much the same manner that any U.S.-based manufacturer of consumer products is held responsible. They may also be held liable for negligent entrustment when they have reason to know a gun is intended for use in a crime.”

It’s getting to the point of plain stupidity now! None of the Democratic candidates know whether they are coming or going. They are all lost. It is hilarious.

Yup creepy Joe, more tax payer money going towards a sham. Al Gore made millions off this lie and he also said the earth would be destroyed by this time. Scientists say there is no problem but people still choose to believe people like creepy Joe and others like him. The blind leading the blind. But in Joe’s case he’s blinded by dollar signs.

Like Medicare figures, HHS declined to confirm that figure, saying only that the plan “slows average annual growth” from 5.4 percent to 3.1 percent “to ensure a more sustainable program for the truly needy and gives state flexibility to reform and innovate.” The plan factors in savings by imposing work requirements as a condition of accepting Medicaid coverage for people who aren’t exempt.

A policy expert at the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, said the administration is right that the plan cuts the growth in Medicare spending without actually cutting benefits for current enrollees. But she also notes that it includes a proposal that would make it harder for some seniors to qualify for long-term care services, for an estimated $34 billion in Medicaid savings.

There is no reduction in spending because it applies to future spending plans only and budgets wouldn’t decline compared to current spending. When asked for details, the Health and Human Services Department declined to talk in terms of dollar figures for Medicare and Medicaid, offering only that the plan “slows the average growth rate” on Medicare by a small percentage over the 10-year period.Overall, HHS stated, “funding levels will be no lower each year than they are today.”

Washington Post AP 2/11/2020
We must all face the fact that Trump will win in November. Our mission is to continually hold him accountable, and impeach him again. The polls do not matter when we know it is right. We will hunt and find something to bring him down. This is about our America not the economy. Keep up the good fight. The hillbilly Trump voters will be buried in their own stupidity soon. We know what America must have, free health care, open boarders, no ICE, and a Green New Deal. We the true American’s must hold firm. We must do what we feel heals America. With our media partners the attack must be fierce.
Democrats for true America.

wow they know better then us, they speak for us. This is the democratic party in a nutshell.

Quit wasting our time and yours. TRUMP2020

President Trump leaves NH early to be at Dover AF base to welcome home fallen soldiers. WOW. the video of course never played the CNN, MSNBC or the other Socialists networks.

Probably because the WH didn’t release the video to them.

It’s on the AP service old man, that means Associated Press, go take your warm milk…..

…this one old man from Ventura does 95% of the posts on here…

Typical Democrat: cuts down dead service personal, while being honored at Dover AFB. THIS DUDE IS THE NEW WAVE DEMOCRAT.

If that is the case, they didn’t run it because they realized it was just another photo op for the imposter in chief.

your a snake , just like your lost Dem party, you joke over lost service people, your a new kind of low human.

What a comment. This man above is despicable.

I am not disrespecting those servicemen who died. I honor them and mourn their passing. This man that you admire so much said that the brain injuries suffered by over 100 soldiers were just “headaches”. If that doesn’t disrespect soldiers, I don’t know what does.

South Carolina has issued a state wide ordinance barring all girls under the age of 18 from being within 500’ of Joe Biden through the primary.

They’d be a lot safer with him than with this very long list of Southern Baptist child-molesting preachers, who’ve taken over what used to be the Republican party. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investigations/article/Southern-Baptist-sexual-abuse-spreads-as-leaders-13588038.php

lol,,,agreed. watch your daughters

No revivals for my girls..

Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg publicly claimed that cops across the country could use a “Xerox” description of minorities to identify suspected murderers. “They are male, minorities, 16 to 25. That’s true in New York, that’s true in virtually every city (inaudible).”

Bloomberg is a Elitist bigot. Out of touch billionaire trying to beguile commoners into thinking he cares and understands their struggles. He doesn’t at all. He just hates trump for helping commoners at the expense of the establishment he truly represents.

Bloomberg was asked why “another New York billionaire” was running for president. He said, “Who’s the other one?” LOL

TRUMP bagged an overwhelming 86 percent of the votes while his opponents, led by former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld, scrambled for the remaining numbers. Trump had a cakewalk in Iowa too where he bagged at least 97 percent of the votes.

Most other past incumbents have done better than that.

why does it matter (past)?

Sooner or later, YOU are the ones who will have to pay for it all. Congress and the President cannot give anything away without first taking it from someone else. That someone else is YOU. Think about the things you are voting for and the costs.
Sen. Bernie Sanders is looking for young voters who haven’t been taught the history and consequences of socialism. If they think forgiving their school loan debt will improve their financial situation, wait until retirement.

All of you young people need to remember that when you vote for people who want to give what we have away, loan forgiveness, Medicare for All, increased welfare, open borders, etc., all come at a price for someone.

We’re the ones paying for your big tax cuts.

If you are looking at those whom you feel have more, which you think you deserve some of, turn around and see those that are looking at you the same way.

So, can it be said that you didn’t take advantage of the tax cuts? I’m sure since you are against the tax cuts that you have refunded your savings from these cuts back to the government.

Please advise how the rest of us can get by with more and higher taxes.

FIgure it out. You don’t pay the government as much, but the amount you pay to those huge corporations goes up – just like they planned. They really got 2 big boosts. 1st, those huge tax cuts that as Trump says “will save you millions” and 2nd, more consumer spending to line their pockets even more than you do now.

Gotcha….the ol’ Al Gore school of fuzzy math. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I’m just struck by how our education system has failed to teach our children the history of socialism/communism. And that parents have failed to teach children our individual responsibilities to be a moral and just country. It’s the mental state of the individual that leads to murder; not the weapon used.

They should be concentrating on relearning the lessons of Nazism and McCarthyism.

a moral and just country – Anonymous
Funny that there are no morals or justice in the White House right now as our President pardons war criminals, interferes with the justice system and uses his office to purposefully insult and intimidate those who oppose him.

Sleepy Joe And Crazy Bernie will soon be playing Cribbage in a nursing home….at Taxpayers expense of course.

Does Schumer ever govern? The job he was elected to do! When will his constituents realize their Senator has no interest in working to make America and Americans better. His interests lie in delay tactics, prosecution and anything ANTI-Trump. This is a sad excuse for an elected official! Get rid of him in 2020

Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham haven’t spent a day doing their actual jobs in at least 3 years. Too busy running after Trump.

You think governing is doing whatever the President wants. That is not governing, that is bowing before a dictator. Thank God there are some people who feel a moral responsibility to the Constitution.

NOTE: your arguing with a 90 year old man from Ventura.

Americans have the chance to vote Schumer, Shiffty, and Nancy and Nadlar out of office…..lets hope all voters do the right thing and vote them out….their obsession with power over the people is dangerous!!!!!

That’s the traitor Trump and the “religious” right.

shut up democrat

you shut up, republipervert

amen, end them

Yeah Chuckles, Nutty Nancy showed us just how well the left did with the impeachment debacle by losing her cool in front of the country and even the world, when she childishly tore up the House copy of the SOTU Address speech!

Given that Trump was high as a kite and insulted her all through it, he’s lucky that’s all she did.

Your right, she could of had a heart attack. I am sure the VP would of been happy to stomp on her chest

that pussy has to have permission from his wife to even take a leak he’s a minion

While gun owners have been using the power of their local and county governments to push Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions across the country, gun control advocates aren’t ignoring the power that can be found in local governments, though they’re adopting a slightly different strategy than Second Amendment supporters. NBC News recently reported on the gun control movement’s use of local school boards to advance their anti-gun agenda, and it’s something every gun owner should be paying attention to.

They must have studied the methods used by the “religious” right, because that’s exactly how they took over the Republican party.

The next time a Leftist starts talking “democratic socialism,” ask him or her to show you a picture of the Clement Attlee poster on their wall. Their answer will let you know how “democratic” their socialism truly is.

American Leftists historically have not made figures such as Attlee their role models. Bernie Sanders in his youth did not hobnob with little known Western European Cabinet officials to discuss their efforts to reconcile an unfree economic ideal with a society that valued freedoms. Michael Moore made millions extolling the virtues of Castro, not Copenhagen style mixed capitalism.

Most American Leftists prefer to cite Western Europe as their model of what they want to impose upon the United States. On the issue of health care, for example, they love to reference the shortage plagued British National Health Service as what the United States should aspire toward, oblivious of the fact that the US has the second largest single payer system on Earth already. And no one sees the VA hospital system as a model of efficient or effective care.

One of the great tricks the American Left seeks to play is bait and switch. This old con man trick lures the unsuspecting mark with an attractive label or description. Once they sell you the item, you realize that you didn’t get what was advertised. All too often a person deceived in this way ends up paying too much for a shoddy product. The Left’s bait and switch lure is the phrase “democratic socialism” and the trick is nothing new. Historically, the “German Democratic Republic” was not the side with free elections and markets, but that with walls, barbed wire, and the Stasi.

As Americans become increasingly disturbed by late-term abortions, even those who identify as “pro-choice,” and as the courts trend more conservative, the abortion lobby is growing increasingly desperate to enshrine abortion in the Constitution. The abortion industry is about eugenics, and has exploited “women” as the prop for its advocacy. The same is true with the Equal Rights Amendment. They claim the ERA is necessary to protect “women’s” rights, but what they really mean is that it protects abortion.

Nobody likes “late-term abortions” which by the way pretty much never happen. Late-term miscarriages have been known to happen, but only slightly more frequently than “late-term abortions.”

You are copying and pasting from a site that believes homosexuality can be changed by conversion therapy

Former Vice President Biden told rally-goers in Hudson, N.H., just days before they cast their primary ballots, the government would lay waste to them with total warfare if they deemed to exercise their rights by owning semiautomatic rifles as a defense against a tyrannical government.

You know Dems are in trouble when NYT has coverage like this: “How the Iowa Caucuses Became an Epic Fiasco for Democrats; The problems that beset the Democratic Party’s first state caucus of the presidential race ran far deeper & wider than one bad app”

The bot is posting its usual copy and paste bs. Sad.

Works for me, bot hater

we should all hate bots because the only reason for their existence is to spread propaganda.

And the vast majority of companies that provide bot service are based in China and Russia.

Donald Trump is a coward.
All of his talk about being “tough” is simply that – talk.
When push comes to shove, and he has to do more than hire lawyers, lie to the press, or bully elected Republicans, he folds like a cheap suit.

Rather than face the consequences of his business mistakes, he sought Russian funding to keep his empire afloat. Rather than acknowledge mistakes and accept the consequences, he lies, sues, and blames others.

Did you, Trump supporters, know you were supporting a coward? Is it worth it so long as he is “your” coward?
Trump’s cowardice, to the rest of the world, is America’s cowardice. All Americans will share this stain,including brave men and women such as the special forces soldier who said, “I am ashamed for the first time in my career.”

Coward? Why stop there. Let’s add: buffoon, clown, fool, failure, pervert, bully, liar, ignoramus, carnival barker, Putin puppet, draft dodger, fraud, swindler, cheat, mob boss — all with the morals of an alley cat.

You don’t get it! Pull your head out lady and stop sniffing butt Crack. He’s done more for the working folks then the lying swamp crack dealers ever did. My employer gave all the employees free health insurance because of the Trump tax cuts and Iowa tax cuts. You would not have lasted 2 minutes with all the weight of the dumocrat fake news on you since day one.

What company do you work for?

the guy is retired so he doesn’t have an employer. He is just making shit up.

90 year old from Ventura

I don’t think this one is from Ventura but he does live on the north end and he is about 90. His name is LLLaarree

SNIFFING but crack is Pete Buttcracks job lady, he’s the ladyboy.

and in your world:
Schiff ( had the whistle-blower for Thanksgiving)
Nadler ( who voiced impeachment before election)
Comey ( that sold out America)
Maxine ( who is just Maxine)
Mitt ( that is a democrat today, tomorrow who knows)
FBI lovers ( that plotted)
Hillary ( who paid for a fake FISA report)
Bolton ( who’s own video killed his book)
Sanders (who’s a socialists)
Buttcrack (who’s gay)
Warren (who’s .000987% Indian and cheated college)
Biden ( who mugs women and forgot his name)
Clapper ( who’s is anti-American)
….these people are OK in your mind. YOUR LOST

I might be lost but I am not freaking delirious like you.

“might be” is an extreme understatement.

Dalena Barz is a high school dropout from Sheffield who got knocked up and had to get married and quit school. Her husband left her for somebody better looking the first chance he got, and she grabbed any little ugly man just so she wouldn’t have to be a divorced single mother. She slept her way into a good account list and got fired 3 times from the job he has now, which they finally let her keep because nobody else wants it. She’s never lived in Mason City, and says regularly that she hates it. This is who we let close down Music Man Square and plan the first concert at the brand new multi-million-dollar arena? We would have had better luck letting Max Weaver do it.

She’s so ugly she’s the only one that corporate farmer vangorkm didn’t grop.

This is true. The situation with Farmers Corp and owner was pretty dicee. Got into trouble when he grabbed the wrong women’s butt, she reported it and Barz ran the other direction, ended in settlement and shush shush…..
This woman reported it and was told to keep it under wraps, cause he was a good client.
I got this from one of Barz current employees. She is a pompous snake to women.

Not the first time a lecherous client grabbed a female employee and Barz told them they’d be fired if they did anything about it.

I don’t know who this woman is or what she has supposedly done, but I am appalled that so many people on here don’t just give their opinions but resort to personal attacks to demean this person. Lesson from the President? If so, you all learned well.

I stopped reading at ” I don’t know who his person is”

What opinion? Every word is fact. There were witnesses, and in some cases, legal paperwork. The bottom line is that she shouldn’t be on any board, since Barz of Ventura just figures out a way to line her own pockets with every one of them, and she sure shouldn’t have anything to do with Music Man Square or the new arena. MASON CITY tax dollars built those, and Mason Cityans should be the ones getting the paychecks!

Too bad about this

AOC does not ever have a clue how a true republic country works. Why is she even living in America? She is a total disaster to herself and her district. Why doesn’t she cleanup her own house before she starts lecturing the world?

He house is just fine, it’s yours that needs work. By the way, how many advanced degrees do you have? She has at least two.

And she is embarrassing those institutions every day.

You can’t stand her because she is smarter than you are, has accomplished more in the first 30 years of her life than you have in your entire life, and would kick you to the curb if you made a pass at her. Jealousy makes one sick.

It just goes to show that when you can’t converse on an intelligent level, making assumptions based on zero facts indicates what a pathetic little life you live.

“Why is she even living in America? She is a total disaster to herself and her district. Why doesn’t she cleanup her own house before she starts lecturing the world?”
You call that conversing on an intelligent level? The same could be said about you.

Like I said, you are making assumptions to something you have no facts on. You are assuming I typed the first post. Who’s the fool now.

No, you made the comment one must converse on an intelligent level. I referred back to the original poster – so what if it wasn’t you? – because intelligence was lacking in his post and yours.

You just keep proving my point, the original poster (whom you assumed was male) asked a couple of questions,(which could have been better) that you have still been unable to answer. Instead you chose to make uninformed, unintelligent comments about someone you do not know. I’ll bet that you don’t fully understand what it is she is advocating. I have seen firsthand the type of society she is proposing and believe me it will be people like you who will be crying the loudest if it happens. Anyway it has been entertaining watching you struggle in your fantasy land and I know that you will have to have the last word, so I will let you have it(don’t disappoint me).

The man who tried to kill officers wasn’t legally allowed to own a firearm. He’s also vowed to kill cops when he gets out of jail. Yet the former bartender says the problem is with law abiding citizens.

You mean the elected official who worked her way through school to two advanced degrees, without cheating and with no help from mommy and daddy?

And yet AOC (America’s Official Clown) is still dumber than a bag of hammers. Degrees or no degrees.She should go back to what she does best…….serving drinks!

Hammers have a purpose.

Yes, the one who CHOSE to attend a $50,000.00 per year tuition college then complain that they cannot pay back their student loan. The one that continues to be an embarrassment to Boston U.

She’s paying her loan.

We are paying it for her

You think that penny you pay in taxes has any effect on her loan? You hate people with college degrees? Go to McDonald’s the next time you need a colonoscopy.

If Planned Parenthood can give millions to political campaigns they don’t need our tax dollars!

THEY DON’T DONATE TO ANY POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS. They don’t have the money for that!

Bullshit! You can go to HELL for lying.

You’re the one who’ll be going to hell for lying.

I can’t fathom why taxpayers would pay for abortions in the first place ? Have one if you must but I don’t need to pay for it nor do my friends and family ? Crazy.

TAXPAYER DOLLARS DON’T AND HAVEN’T PAID FOR ABORTIONS. If you mean Planned Parenthood, they do a whole range of health services for low-income women and girls, including and especially cancer screening. I personally know of at least three women in Mason City who would be dead if PP hadn’t discovered their cancerous uterine and ovarian tumors early enough for surgery. All are in service occupations, and would never have gone to a regular doctor because they could never afford it. All have husbands and kids, and are active in church and school activities.

The stupidity of the democrats is going to backfire at the polls this year.

You’ve been saying that for 40 years.

“The impeachment political hit job lacked due process or fairness for the president, breaking all historical precedent… Their legacy of impeachment is all House Democrats have to show for their House majority.”

bullshit, like you

I support a bill to repeal the electric vehicle tax credit, & I’ve urged IRS to address the fraud in the program. Now, President Trump is building off that effort & asking Congress to eliminate the EV tax credit. It’s time we get rid of this incentive for the wealthy, coastal elites!

Nobody cares what a nobody like you does or doesn’t support.

Yah, shut up and keep paying stupid taxes.

The President still has 5 years left to drain the swamp completely!

trump and barr are the swamp

Give it up Joe you are not in the plan ! Hillary is in control and her plan includes Bloomberg !
