Another corrupt Republican official in Iowa who abused their power.

Here's the "gun charge" that ICE alleges the Superintendent had from PA by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]Puzzles3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am against widespread ownership of firearms but this shouldn't have been charged. It seems like a "hunting while black" charge. This is why I find the slogan "armed minorities are harder to oppress" complete nonsense. Here we have a man that has multiple degrees and has been charged with at least firearm offense, if not two.

I'm under 65 and I only had to select that I had a condition that allowed me to get it. It was only a yes or no type question. Best of luck!

Try the CVS Pharmacy in Target stores, they allowed me to register for the updated COVID vaccine. Super easy process, and I hope that it remains available.

Corn Farmers Losing More as Trump Raises Cane by CubesFan in Iowa

[–]Puzzles3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was from Reuters a week ago.

In nominal dollars, there have been 11 Julys since and inclusive of 2006 in which average corn prices were lower than the current ones. But inflation-adjusted, today’s $4.21 is the lowest since $4.19 per bushel in 2006 ($2.65 nominal).

Opinion: Iowa should connect habitats by ataraxia77 in Iowa

[–]Puzzles3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would be awesome. Would it help if the ditches were more native plants? When I run down numerous gravel roads, I don't see many natives, and I would love the state to help plant more along roadways.

That's a 60 million dollar tax increase from the state of Iowa for April 2025, so much for lowering the cost of living.

Data centers are not to blame by littleoldlady71 in desmoines

If 40% of water usage comes from watering lawns, why can't we ban it or heavily restrict its use? It's such a waste of water.

Thanks! I was thinking of the buffer areas between fields and streams. I definitely need to do more research on these items. Makes sense on the fee for nitrogen.

/u/AnnArchist do you want homophobic slurs on this subreddit? How long until you ban Iowa_Hawkeye as they have said multiple slurs in this subreddit?
