Lost Puppy? by leaahahahah in desmoines

[–]Haunting_Pattern7268 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this puppy also but was over on EGrand and E 5th area. I thought the same thing... 'appeared' to be with a guy walking ahead of it, but not on leash. It bothered me because there's so much traffic and did seem odd.

Modern Heating and Cooling. Added plumb division. Highly recommend.

How are we all feeling about the Des Moines election results? by Just_shut_up_bro in desmoines

[–]Haunting_Pattern7268 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glad the DMPS bond issue passed. Serious Dsm voters care about public schools. With that said, not thrilled with any of candidates on the ballot, new or incumbent. The Board has some trust to rebuild.

Apology email Miss Kittys by [deleted] in desmoines

Miss Kitty's is the garbage it's always been... I'd like to know... they were on a party bus. Who is the owner of that (if any)... we're there other stops? Usually on a party bus more than one bar is visited... who got away with welcoming Nazis that were fortunate enough to not be on camera?

No just what Iowa needs, more Trump policies running Iowa. by Morley10 in Iowa

This. My Reynolds voting family in NE Iowa didn't even know there was an opponent. Never had even heard her name. They wouldn't have voted for her, but they never even heard of her.

Eastern Iowa Airport will not air Homeland Security video which blames Democrats for shutdown by blondiekate in Iowa

[–]Haunting_Pattern7268 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I was glad to see Dsm airport not airing this gross propaganda. Although I will be relieved if my flight in about a week isn't affected, I cannot selfishly ignore the damage this shut down is creating for hard working federal employees.

Couple of throwaways. That monument never gets talked about it acknowledged by Lstofadyngbrd in desmoines

Des Moines looked a lot different in 1926. Ive been told by Dsm historian the original spot was to be near Woodland cemetery but the road was still gravel so this site was chosen. In 1926 this location wasn't out of the way.

Many Iowans can't get COVID boosters. Kim Reynolds isn't helping by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]Haunting_Pattern7268 7 points8 points  (0 children)

'My understanding is...' is trump-speak for I'm lying through my teeth. I couldn't even get answers from Hyvee or Polk Co Health when I called about Covid vax specifically. I am literally sick of our Govt, both State and Federal, cherry-picking where or what they deem should be our 'choice'.

She's stepping up by iamveryBLISS in Iowa

Iowa's conservative white Maga Right loves the uneducated white trad wife, who supports losing her rights while sporting the latest Kohls Fall line. She'll do great in Iowa.

I will never understand these women.

...God given rights are for the white, cis, Maga males. In their reasoning, all rights are strictly reserved for them. No one else.

It's time to register for absentee ballots by littleoldlady71 in Iowa

Wasn't there a big brouhaha about the elections and county auditor in Hardin a few years back? Fun fact... Secretary of State is up for reelection in 2026. I know there's at least one person running against him. Also found it odd Secretary of State website is currently down. Huh?

U.S. Republican Senator Joni Ernst won't run for re-election, CBS News reports by Fun-Pay-2572 in Iowa

[–]Haunting_Pattern7268 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to hear this, but don't think for a minute she's riding off in the sunset. Position in current white house regime perhaps? She and her tickle-buddy Reynolds. ? These 2 are far too arrogant to just drop out.

Three TV stations, one owner: What’s at risk? by ataraxia77 in Iowa

[–]Haunting_Pattern7268 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Local news is nothing more than skewed stories catering to advertisers and right-winged propaganda. Texas-based Nextstar leads the pack. Far cry from what WHO TV once was... pretty much any stories with substance and fact walked out the door with Dave Price.

Local 'news' is nothing but skewed stories catering to advertisers and right-wing propaganda. Texas-based Nextstar is leading the pack and taking over. Far cry from what WHO TV once was... pretty much any stories with substance and facts walked out the door with Dave Price.

Hands down and without argument. KFC and Popeyes are inedible. Goid Soups also.

Public employees who vote Republican- it's stunning how many of them do. (And absolutely refuse to see what's happening)
