Someone tell me again why we should vote for this houseplant...?

President Joe Biden halted a large shipment of aerial bombs to Israel last week in an effort to force the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to bend to his wishes as he faces backlash from the anti-Semitic forces within his own party.

The Associated Press reported that the shipment was supposed to include 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs. The administration is also holding off on providing Israel with Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits, which turn bombs into precision-guided smart bombs.

Biden stopped the shipment to protest Israel’s decision to go forward with trying to eliminate the Hamas terrorists that remain within the Gazan city of Rafah.

The administration claimed that its concern had to do with providing Israel with large explosive ordnance that could be used in Rafah where Palestinians are densely packed into small spaces.

No weapons to them...

Are you a high school senior from the state of Iowa who has been involved in wrestling or know someone who is? It is my pleasure to let you all know about the newly formed Kirk Hageman Memorial Scholarship. We will be giving a $500 college scholarship annually to a high school senior from the state of Iowa who either wrestled or was heavily involved (manager, cheerleader, etc…) in the sport of wrestling in high school and plans to attend college after high school graduation. We are also looking for a candidate who plans to stay involved in our great sport in the future in some capacity.


Kirk Hageman was an avid wrestling fan who graduated from Decorah High School in northeast Iowa. He continued to be heavily involved in wrestling after high school and it was a great passion of Kirk's for his entire life. Kirk was involved in the sport in many ways but most notably, and his favorite, was as a volunteer high school wrestling coach at Richland Center, WI as well as Cedar Rapids Prairie High School in Cedar Rapids, IA. In 2009 Kirk passed away much too young, but his exuberance for wrestling lives on with his family and friends. We have now created the Kirk Hageman Memorial Scholarship to be awarded every year in his memory.


If you are truly passionate about wrestling and want to continue your education then we are looking for you! Please write a short essay about how wrestling has impacted your life and how you plan to continue to be involved or give back to wrestling in the future. You do not have to be a wrestler in college but can plan on being a wrestler, manager, cheerleader, plan on getting into coaching, or just being an avid supporter. Essays should also include your contact information as well as the email for your high school guidance counselor or athletic director should we have any questions.


Please include a copy of your high school transcripts so we know that you are serious about continuing your education. Recipients will be expected to maintain a 3.0 grade point average in their first semester of college and the $500 scholarship will be awarded during the second semester.


All essays and transcripts can be emailed to kirkhagemanscholarship@hotmail.com or mailed to:

to a very aggressive form of liver cancer. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

The U.S. EEOC alleges that Sheetz has a practice of screening all applicants for records of criminal conviction and then denying them employment based on said record. The EEOC's charge claims that Sheetz disproportionally screened out applicants who are black, Native American and multiracial.

The lawsuit does not allege that Sheetz was motivated by race when making hiring decisions.

"Federal law mandates that employment practices causing a disparate impact because of race or other protected classifications must be shown by the employer to be necessary to ensure the safe and efficient performance of the particular jobs at issue,"


They want all minority applicants who were denied a job to:

A) be offered a job
B) receive lost back pay
C) gain the seniority they would have had if they had been hired

Seems reasonable...fvcking liberals have lost their freaking minds.

Q&A with Mount Ayr running back Dyson Thompson
How did the high school football season go overall?
“The season went well. We had our ups and downs but we were a very young team. Overall we made so much progress by the end of the season and it amazed me. Unfortunately I was hurt halfway through and had to sit out a couple of games though but the team still played great.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“As for workouts, I’ll be in the weight room at least 4 times a week at 6am training with the team. For sports I’m currently in track which is going great and will be starting baseball here shortly.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“Madrid and Lyndville or even ACGC will be tough to beat next year. Definitely a game worth watching. They lose a ton of seniors but still have younger kids coming up with great potential.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“Madrid has a good returning quarterback who is an all-around athlete on the field and will be hard to stop.”

..............................................
Q&A with Gladbrook-Reinbeck wide receiver Hudson Clark
How did the high school football season go overall?
“It was a great season, being able to bring our school’s football team back to the Dome was an amazing opportunity. We obviously wanted to win those last two games but in the end it was an incredible season.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“I’m involved in both soccer and track so continuing those hoping to make state appearances again in both respective sports. I am also doing AAU basketball so I have a pretty full schedule. I try to not let that stop me from getting in reps to whether that’s with playing pass with teammates or in the backyard with my family getting coached in specific aspect.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“We are returning a lot of guys, we do lose big pieces of our team that will be a big loss but also we have a lot of guys working hard in the weight room and we have a lot of guys confident in themselves to make that jump to starters. I think next year will be another successful year and hopefully we can get back to the dome.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“We have a pretty strong conference, all the teams have good players and good enough to win games. Clarksville gave us a tough time last year and I bet the same thing this next year. Also Janesville had a young hard nosed group last year and they return big players for their team so we have to watch out for them. We play a lot of good teams and don’t want to overlook anyone or be too confident.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“We played a lot of good players this past year and many gave us trouble. I think Appleby is a great player and a hard runner, he will have a good line to play behind so he will be tough. Also Burns from BGM had a really good year and a lot of accomplishments and stats, he will be hard to stop.”

..............................................
Q&A with Independence middle linebacker Cameron Roth

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“The toughest player is definitely Brent Yonkovic.”

..............................................
Q&A with Ankeny Centennial defensive end Isaiah Bassett
How did the high school football season go overall?
“I think the football season went pretty well last year. I think we should’ve won some games that we didn’t and to be honest I feel like we were one of the top teams in 5a. We didn’t execute how we should’ve and the mistakes on both offense and defense and special teams held us back from being state champs.”

What are your plans now with sports and workouts?
“For plans, right now I’m just focusing on track and lifts with my team. I want to build a bond because we are going to have some new players up on varsity this year and I want to know who they are and create a good bond with them.”

How do you feel your team will do next football season?
“For next season I genuinely think that we are one of the best teams if not the best team. We have lots of returning starters and plenty of young talent. I really think that we could win it all if we just fix some minor mistakes that we had last year. We have one of the oldest coaches in the game and I don’t mean that in a bad way but he has seen a lot and knows a lot and as long as we listen to him and the other coaches and are disciplined then I believe that we can hoist up that trophy come the end of the season.”

What team do you feel will be the toughest competition on your schedule?
“I think that our toughest competition next year is going to be Dowling or Ankeny. We have Ankeny week one and it’s a rivalry game so it’s already honing to be a hard game. They have lots of good players and some good coaches as well. Dowling has just always been good and since they are bringing back a lot of good players as well I believe that they are going to be a challenge if we want to win the championship. I don’t want to forget about Valley High School as well since they have lots of talent on their team and have always been a good playoff team.”

Who is the toughest individual player your team will face off against?
“I can’t really say which players we think are going to be the toughest cause not one player makes a team but we’ll have to see how this summer goes.”

Somebody ought to be arrested for putting this senile old man on stage...

President Joe Biden received an endorsement the North America’s Building Trades Unions on Wednesday, and a major flub made in remarks at the organization’s legislative conference in Washington was actually met with applause.

At the end of a 30-plus minute speech, Biden read a little too much on his teleprompter, saying, “Four more years. Pause.”
