  1. President Trump is trying to fix the problems that Biden and Obama created and he’s doing a damn good job…

  2. Trump supporters are blind ignorant sheep who think their master can do no wrong.

    President Obama for all his faults he may have had at least he acted with class and didn’t spend his time on tweeter talking crap about people.

    The Clintons I don’t have any use for but the amount of crying people do about them is pathetic. She was investigated and grilled for hours nothing was found but old Trump will have something to worry about when he is out of office.

    1. Here are a few scandals from the Obama years that must’ve slipped Joe’s mind…
      BENGHAZI – 4 Americans killed, countless others affected.
      IRS SCANDAL – The IRS intentionally targeting conservative organizations.
      FAST & FURIOUS – The illegal sale of guns to drug dealers, resulting in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
      HILLARY’S EMAILS – The former Secretary of State’s mishandling of classified information.
      BOWE BERGDAHL – Released for five Taliban prisoners under suspicious circumstances.
      IRANIAN PRISONER SWAP for $400 million cash payment.
      HILLARY PAY TO PLAY during her tenure at the State Department
      VETERANS ADMINISTRATION – Long wait times and poor conditions that resulted in the deaths of countless veterans.
      LORETTA LYNCH and her tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton
      UNMASKING of private American citizens for political purposes.
      SOLYNDRA- The funneling of funds by Obama administration to private companies.
      SECRET SERVICE prostitution scandals during presidential overseas trips.
      HURRICANE SANDY relief funds that never found their way to New York and New Jersey.
      OBAMACARE WEBSITE that cost over $600 million and didn’t work….

    2. She was “investigated” by dirty cops, e. g. Comey, McCabe, Strock, Page et. al. What a joke the LIBUFFOONS are. They just want power, NOT justice.

  3. Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The democrats version of the three stooges.

  4. Sedition is the crime of saying, writing, or doing something that encourages people to disobey their government
    18 U.S. Code § 2384 – Seditious conspiracy
    If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.

  5. It’s called weather, it’s been happening for 100 Billion years…it rains, it snows, it’s windy, it’s cloudy … it’s called an “Act Of God”, not an act of Government

  6. The greatest threat this country faces are these leftist democrats. Anyone supporting them is supporting the downfall of the USA.

    1. I would say the greatest threat are those who do not believe the laws of the land apply to them. Those who give lip service to the Constitution while not knowing what the Constitution says. Those who set new records for lies told to the public. And those who believe the lies because the lies support their anger and hatred.

  7. First of all, it is not a democracy! It is a constitutional republic! And the greatest threat to our constitutional republic is the democrat party!

  8. Congress is blatantly overstepping in their never ending, borderline psychotic obsession with overturning an election loss that they cannot come to terms with. They need to grow up.

  9. Let’s see the records for the Clinton foundation ..how about Nancy Pelosi financial records or Bernie Sanders-how does Creepy Joe spend his money ?

  10. Do the Demoncraps have even the remotest clue how sick & tired Americans are of their never-ending hate-Trump agenda? I’m sure they do, but I’ve seen many, including me, who will NEVER vote for a Dem again. The silent majority out here will give them a shock in 2020.

  11. We should subpoena all of congress tax and bank records …. you know the ones who have made a career out of our tax dollars and became millionaires. That is whose tax records I want to see.

  12. Look at Jussie Smollett and College scams that two stars getting away from crimes that make me angry. Nothing new that Clintons will get away from real crimes ,,, best way is to go after them by ourselves to finish them.

  13. I want the Clintons to dance to the music of the Piper–and I want the Obama’s to also be arrested and pay for their crimes on the US–It is time that the EVIL DOERS pay the Piper–and for George Soros to be arrested and pay his price of Puppeteer–

  14. Islam is not the religion of peace!! There have been bombings, killings all over the world!! They’ve got to be joking!!!!

      1. The crusades happened way before your time, so that picnic doesn’t affect you. The radical muslim bombings are going on now, in real time, and could affect you.

  15. Economy booming look to Trump. He is bringing the USA into victory winning prosperity, jobs, safety, strong military. What a great leader we have…

  16. remember going into massive debt after 8 years of Obama, fast forward to now, I work two jobs, all my debt paid off, bought a brand new car, a huge bank account. Thank you so much President Trump!!!! MAGA2020!!!

    Promised made and promises kept… A concept I almost thought waa dead…Thank God for President Trump.

    Can you believe the crap the Dems are campaigning on? They have nothing, except their hate. Trump’s Economy, Unemployment, GDP, Immigration, China, ISIS, Veterans, Military, Healthcare, Tax cuts, will eat them alive. And he hasn’t even gotten started on destroying the theory of socialism! It will be fun to watch.

    President Trump was SPOT ON with the nickname SLEEPY JOE!!! Just 2nd day on the campaign trail and he’s napping already. Hey Joe YOU SNOOZE…YOU LOSE!!!

    1. What a bunch of racist worthless ignorant white trash people on here.

      Bunch bib overall wearing Busch light drinking morons who have no common sense or know how to research and most likely never been in a library.

  17. Anyone who would voted democrat is delusional, blind, and or ignorant.

    Progressive Democrats are destroying America!

  18. ‘IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT… Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.

    We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

    ‘This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, ‘THE RIGHT TO LEAVE’.

    ‘If you aren’t happy here then LEAVE’. We didn’t force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted you…

  19. Yeah tell us all about those Liberals that can’t find a job to match their useless basket weaving majors that they went into major debt for at those universities run by Socialist morons.. Also along those lines you can expound on how Bernie Sanders wife caused a college to go belly up. In this case what message is the school sending? How about they just use the statue as an object lesson and tell the students to try not to repeat the mistakes of the past? I wouldn’t doubt that the faculty of that school has at least one member that has a Che poster or t shirt in their collection…

    1. Bernie Sanders’ wife did not cause a college to close. She and the Board of Trustees saw that the school was not profitable so they tried something that didn’t work out. They bought a large plot of land and it failed to attract more students and the college went broke-after she stepped down. Tell the whole story or shut the hell up.

  20. The Demoncraps want as many Americans as possible dependent on the government. Obama created joblessness on purpose. WAKE UP PEOPLE. Wake up .

    1. All the joblessness during Obama’s term was because of the huge mess the Republicrooks caused, which hit right when Obama took office. The RepubliCONS headed for the hills to let him clean up their mess, which he did.

  21. Chuck Schumer is an UnAmerican Lier, a Corrupted Politician and a threat to all Americans with his deceitful ranting!

  22. Demoncrap voters don’t want jobs, they want as many people relying on taxpayer funded “free” stuff as possible.
    Taxpayer funded “free” stuff = dem voters

    1. All the joblessness during Obama’s term was because of the huge mess the Republicrooks caused, which hit right when Obama took office. The RepubliCONS headed for the hills to let him clean up their mess, which he did.

  23. The Demoncraps don’t want more Jobs ,they want everyone Dependant on the government so the government can Control the Populus . What it is they have been fighting so hard to accomplish is A New World Order Agenda that they have been working on for many yrs , be thankful we have the President we have because if Hillary would have accomplished her fraudulent scheme we would more than likely be in internment camps right now

    1. All the joblessness during Obama’s term was because of the huge mess the Republicrooks caused, which hit right when Obama took office. The RepubliCONS headed for the hills to let him clean up their mess, which he did.

  24. What can Schumer say? Dems have no platform outside of entitlements, socialism, and freebies for all. Employment goes against their agenda.

  25. The top Environmental scientists who aren’t living off of government grants have already said that Climate Change/Global Warming is a big hoax.

    Based on this past winter, for the Midwest, where temperatures dropped to -50°, and just had a snow storm come through last weekend. I don’t think Global Warming is the cause. It’s all part the earth’s cycle

  26. Climate change is natural part of Earth’s cycle. Man doesn’t influence it nor can they stop it. Adjust and move on. That doesn’t mean , however, we can’t be good stewards of the Earth and take care of our planet and not be wasteful. We could start by making all of Congress having to pay for their own flights and private jets beyond coach class. People, if the Democrats in power we’re really concerned about the effects of climate change and thought it was a “real” thing humans could influence they wouldn’t be flying around in private jets everywhere. It’s just a talking point to deflect their desire for power. LOOK at their actions, not their words. The thought that you can change climate if you do this or that with a dollar is just the Dems biggest money making scheme ever.

    Bahahahahaha! Hey, we only have 12, or less years left ,so what does it really matter? At least that’s what AOC and other psycho leftist say. I’m still waiting on the new Ice Age we were warned about in the 70’s. Oh, then there’s al gore’s warning that Central Park will be underwater by 2016. Frauds, all.

  27. What a joke Joe Biden is:
    Here are a few scandals from the Obama years that must’ve slipped Joe’s mind…
    BENGHAZI – 4 Americans killed, countless others affected.
    IRS SCANDAL – The IRS intentionally targeting conservative organizations.
    FAST & FURIOUS – The illegal sale of guns to drug dealers, resulting in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
    HILLARY’S EMAILS – The former Secretary of State’s mishandling of classified information.
    BOWE BERGDAHL – Released for five Taliban prisoners under suspicious circumstances.
    IRANIAN PRISONER SWAP for $400 million cash payment.
    HILLARY PAY TO PLAY during her tenure at the State Department
    VETERANS ADMINISTRATION – Long wait times and poor conditions that resulted in the deaths of countless veterans.
    LORETTA LYNCH and her tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton
    UNMASKING of private American citizens for political purposes.
    SOLYNDRA- The funneling of funds by Obama administration to private companies.
    SECRET SERVICE prostitution scandals during presidential overseas trips.
    HURRICANE SANDY relief funds that never found their way to New York and New Jersey.
    OBAMACARE WEBSITE that cost over $600 million and didn’t work.
    Yeah, zero scandals DURING President Obama’s office.
    I believe Obama was the best president Iran ever had!!

  28. MEDIA LIES FOR DEMOCRATS BOYCOTT ABC CNN NBC MSNBC CBS NEWS N.Y. TIMES USA TODAY WASHINGTON POST,
    The Obama administration pretty much shredded the Patriot act with their massive unmasking of Americans and making it easy to pass the info around to be leaked to the press…ONLY when it was beneficial to their side, of course.
    Obama/Biden had plenty of scandals, but the part everyone who was collecting a paycheck loved the most was that they virtually had an 8-year paid vacation with on-going bonus stipends for everything they did outside of their assigned job, all expenses paid… on us! On top of that, they got investment trading information before the public got any of that news, all with the administration’s blessing. For you and me, that would be called insider trading and we would be in prison.

  29. AOC: “I don’t care if you’re documented, I don’t care if you’re undocumented.”
    Didn’t she take an oath to uphold the laws and constitution of the United States? Americans care!!!

  30. Rising Fraud in Minnesota Somali DHS programs: State Auditors Uncover Widespread Childcare Assistance Fraud.
    “Jay Swanson, manager of CCAP’s Investigations Unit, said fraud is pervasive and estimates it reaches the $100 million range, or half of the $217 million paid to childcare centers in 2017.” …. This “makes you wonder about the other programs,” Crockett said in an email. “Minnesota is on track to spend $37 billion on health and human services in the next biennium.”!

  31. Trump won, he put America first. And will win again on the same thing. The democrats don’t listen. Biden’s calls from abroad did
    not impress me one bit. In fact, they warned me.
    Trump 2020 the man who will defend America interest in the world not others. Joe Biden you’re a big government globalist we don’t need you or you socialist party in Washington DC.

    Biden’s election is supported by multiple foreign governments and he welcomes it? Congress should hold hearings!

  32. The only thanks Obama deserves is to finally be brought to justice for the many crimes you & your administration committed against our country.
    We owe Obama and his wife nothing but a prison cell and that’s too good for them.
    Obama,,,You can kiss Trump’s butt ! Trump is busy saving the USA from your administration’s 8 years of destruction …!

  33. A Saul Alinsky tenet is to always accuse your opponent as to what you are doing. So the Democrats tried to tie Trump to Russia. Under Obama the entire government was weaponized against Republicans. Hillary destroyed emails under subpoena, and more. Then the corrupt FBI and DOJ exonerated her while falsely accusing Trump of Russian collusion. The only collusion was Hillary selling Uranium to the Russians as well as hiring Russians to draw up a fake dossier..

  34. HELLO: not one of your posts will ever convince the other side to switch political parties, so why do you keep trying on here. Hillary/Comey/Brennen were corrupt. Trump needs to be more presidential. Dems better start working and stop bitching or they will be crushed in 2020. Jeff Sessions was a joke. Benghazi/bleach bit is all on Hillary 100%. Trump needs to move forward. Brett Cavanaugh hearing was a circus. AOL is a nut job. MOVE ON PEOPLE

  35. Based on this past winter, for the Midwest, where temperatures dropped to -50°, and just had a snow storm come through last weekend. I don’t think Global Warming is the cause. It’s all part the earth’s cycle

    1. Why should we pay attention to what you think? What degree do you have? How long have you studied the earths climate?

  36. The top Environmental scientists who aren’t living off of government grants have already said that Climate Change/Global Warming is a big hoax.

  37. Bahahahahaha! Hey, we only have 12, or less years left ,so what does it really matter? At least that’s what AOC and other psycho leftist say. I’m still waiting on the new Ice Age we were warned about in the 70’s. Oh, then there’s al gore’s warning that Central Park will be underwater by 2016. Frauds, all.

  41. MONDAY 4-29-19
    MEDIA LIES FOR DEMOCRATS BOYCOTT ABC CNN NBC MSNBC CBS NEWS N.Y. TIMES USA TODAY WASHINGTON POST,

  42. AOC: “I don’t care if you’re documented, I don’t care if you’re undocumented.”
    Didn’t she take an oath to uphold the laws and constitution of the United States? Americans care!!

  48. Looks like shopko is closed they took the words off the building except the ‘o’ and not too soon there were no deals in that store I paid $199 for a comforter.

  49. IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT… Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.

    We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!

    1. Where I grew up, most of the people spoke Polish or Slovak, we did not. Yet to a person, they also could speak and understand English if the chose to. Yes, it was their choice, and most times, even in public, it was other than English.

      Walk around Brooklyn, you will hear more Yiddish than English.

      I never had any problem with the signs on the markets and shops on the main street being in their traditional tongue, they still accommodated us who did not speak the language.

      Nor would I want them to alter the traditions they held over generations. And that’s the beauty of our country, we all came from different places, and different cultures. We came here, made money and established ourselves, just like the generations before us. We assimilated, yet kept our identity.

  50. ‘This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom, ‘THE RIGHT TO LEAVE’.

    ‘If you aren’t happy here then LEAVE’. We didn’t force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted you.

How about they just use the statue as an object lesson and tell the students to try not to repeat the mistakes of the past? I wouldn’t doubt that the faculty of that school has at least one member that has a Che poster or t shirt in their collection.

    1. Well, at least it wasn’t Trump U which defrauded a large number of students into spending huge amounts of money to line Trump’s pockets.

  52. Can you believe the crap the Dems are campaigning on? They have nothing, except their hate. Trump’s Economy, Unemployment, GDP, Immigration, China, ISIS, Veterans, Military, Healthcare, Tax cuts, will eat them alive. And he hasn’t even gotten started on destroying the theory of socialism! It will be fun to watch.

    President Trump was SPOT ON with the nickname SLEEPY JOE!!! Just 2nd day on the campaign trail and he’s napping already. Hey Joe YOU SNOOZE…YOU LOSE!!!

  53. Economy booming look to Trump. He is bringing the USA into victory winning prosperity, jobs, safety, strong military. What a great leader we have.
    I remember going into massive debt after 8 years of Obama, fast forward to now, I work two jobs, all my debt paid off, bought a brand new car, a huge bank account. Thank you so much President Trump!!!! MAGA2020!!!

    Promised made and promises kept… A concept I almost thought was dead…Thank God for President Trump.

    1. You have all that after 2 years of Trump? That is incredible. What kind of jobs do you do? WHere were those jobs before Trump?

  54. I am an American, I fly the Flag of the United States of America & not any other Flag. Talib is a Palestinian & displays their flag outside her office in the United States Congress. She is NOT MY FELLOW AMERICAN.

    Islam is not the religion of peace!! There have been bombings, killings all over the world!! They’ve got to be joking!!!

  55. Why are taxpayers dollars supporting ANY private business? What does Planned Parenthood have over our local and Federal politicians that is forcing the public to back murder?

    Odd how the media refers to killing babies as sex education.

  56. Any elective surgery should not be on the shoulders of the heavily taxed public. Everyone should be able to go see a doctor if needed, Should also be able to get medicine help if they need it. Even though some will argue that transgender issues are important. Having the surgeries to change physically from one sex to the other is a choice and not a surgery that has to happen for one to physically be alive. It is a elective surgery, and should not be paid for by the taxpayers. Myself it does not matter to me how anyone else lives their life. if you are a female and want to be male or vice versa, go do it. Get a job, save the money needed and have it done. Just do not make other people pay for your life choices…

  57. Why is it that the group who actually does the terror can get away with going around saying THEY are the victims? Why is it ok for their target to be afraid, but not them to be? Isn’t this akin to saying we should feel sorry for a murderer because they are now afraid of the repercussions of their actions? That’s ridiculous… she should be standing against Muslim violence towards Christians… which is usually how it goes. Then again… perhaps they are thinking about the history of the Crusades… you know… that time when after 450 years of SEVERE Muslim persecution of Christians, the Christians finally stood up and tried to fight back?? Yeah… maybe. But it is perfectly reasonable to think that they were completely justified in doing so after enduring so much carnage…

  58. Muller (dirty cop)was the Director of the FBI when the Obama Administration sold 20 % of our Uranium to Russia. This Investigation was to cover up and overshadow their corruption in the sale of 20% of our Uranium to Russia. That is the real scandal.

    President Trump never did anything wrong it was a witch hunt we all know Obama and Hillary and Comey etc are the guilty ones

    Democrats need to stop crying like little school kids and start doing for the American citizens. They have held Congress for over 100 day and have done nothing for us.

  59. There is something to be said about uniformity.

    However there is nothing uniform about the look of downtown Mason City. What sparked my curiosity was a drive through downtown this morning, and noticing the new traffic standards they’re installing on Delaware Avenue.

    There are more than eight different styled light standards in the downtown area. You would think that the powers that be would want some sort of uniform look to the downtown area. But as it stands it’s a hodgepodge of different kinds of Lights.

    Where was the planning? Or did they just go shopping at Benny’s Bargain Basement and picked out the leftovers from somebody else’s project?

    Take a drive through some other town that is successful and growing you won’t find that kind of thing. No, they have a uniform look, clean, neat, and above all,bright.

    Those people know that first appearances are very important. They draw Commerce and new residents. Not to mention confidence.

    Then again perhaps our city leaders trying to capture the Rube Goldberg look?

    1. My mind not being a sharp as it used to be just remembered that a certain city councilman almost a decade ago spoke to this very subject. Of course as you can plainly see his idea was largely ignored.

  60. Economy booming look to Trump. He is bringing the USA into victory winning prosperity, jobs, safety, strong military. What a great leader we have.

  61. Islam is not the religion of peace!! There have been bombings, killings all over the world!! They’ve got to be joking!!!

  62. I am an American, I fly the Flag of the United States of America & not any other Flag. Talib is a Palestinian & displays their flag outside her office in the United States Congress. She is NOT MY FELLOW AMERICAN.

  63. Why are taxpayers dollars supporting ANY private business? What does Planned Parenthood have over our local and Federal politicians that is forcing the public to back murder?

  64. Any elective surgery should not be on the shoulders of the heavily taxed public. Everyone should be able to go see a doctor if needed, Should also be able to get medicine help if they need it.

Just do not make other people pay for your life choices.

    1. Medicare/Medicaid does not routinely recognize the need for nor automatically approve the payment for sexual reassignment surgeries. Each case is reviewed on an individual basis and very few in fact are authorized. Your posts are much to do about nothing, although its great red meat for the hungry NIT wits who need to get a life.

  65. Why is it that the group who actually does the terror can get away with going around saying THEY are the victims? Why is it ok for their target to be afraid, but not them to be? Isn’t this akin to saying we should feel sorry for a murderer because they are now afraid of the repercussions of their actions?

      1. President Obama had to combat the recession the Republicans created and yes, his deficit early on exceeded $1 trillion. He also inherited a $1 trillion deficit from President Bush. His last year in office (2017) the deficit was between $585-666 billion. Trump has increased the budget every year without having a financial crisis to add to it, just his spending and tax cuts. The estimates have it at $1.1 trillion in 2020.

        1. Do you have any investments? Either personal or retirement plans such as a 401K? My investments have gone through the roof under President Trump. It was 8 years of stagnation under Obama.

          1. I have a lot of investments. Yes, they have risen, but they haven’t gone crazy. They increased a great deal during obama’s tenure as President. A better percentage growth than with trump. Obama got me out of the hole that the Republicans put me into with the banking scandal that was on Bush’s reign/
