It has been reported that some Iowa lawmakers have been rolling some reefers full of that Wacky Tobaccy. Now they are pondering the possibility of hashing out a new law that would legalize the herb, marijuana that is, in Iowa. "Are they high?" you might ask. But alas, it is reported that the lawmakers are stone-cold sober, but I smell a skunk!According to some of Iowa's lawmakers, in the pot of ideas, Iowans are not out in the "weeds.

Don Lemon. I probably don't need to say more. Can anyone say, that women in their 50s are not in their prime? Oh, that's right, Don Lemon can. Why can he say that? Because he's an idiot for one, and secondly, because he "googled it." He declaring that women only between 20 and 40 are in their prime. For the rest of us, we are dunzo. We are past our expiration date.

Dear Editor, I imagine everyone knows what a Swan Song is.  This is mine!First, I want to thank GB and DC for their opinions which were "great" because they match mine.  Too bad that some people with obvious disabilities couldn't see they were true!!  Keep going, Gents...As for me, I am weary of over-inflated egos [Anyone got a pin?].

Dear Editor, It wasn't a tornado or a hurricane...just toxic materials that East Palestine, Ohio has to deal with.  [NO BIG DEAL!!]  Right??  Pete Buttigieg-Biden's Secretary of Transportation-says train derailments happen 1,000 times a year.  So...He's NOT going there.  One thousand times a year??  Funny, I don't recall 1,000 train derailments last year dumping toxic waste in any American cities.

I've been digging around on a couple of stories and that usually keeps me up until the wee hours of the morning. I kept hitting dead ends in finding what I was looking for. So I thought I'd try ChatGPT. It's supposed to be able to dig up information older than the last couple of years. So I gave that a shot to no avail. Another job hazard is that I see all kinds of information across my desk.

Dear Editor, Yawn...Ho-Hum!!  Sorry, I've only had three mugs of coffee and a shower to blast me out of my stupor after watching the "low-lights" of the State of the Union event on GMA this morning.As many of you know, I said I would not watch Biden's on stage performance.  I weighed the positives and negatives, and I made the wise decision to watch a horror movie on my laptop.

Dear Editor, Sustainable Development, what they aren't telling you.Here is what Agenda-21/Agenda 2030 really looks like. This video was recorded in 2013, watch it & you'll see how how many of these things Vinton, & other cities around the world, are already doing. https://youtu.be/ebccLWZ08fUMaybe now you'll understand why property rights are so important.

Hey, Joe...Looks like you've got an unhappy NYC Democratic mayor.  You know him, right?  [Eric Andrews]  It seems like 42,000 illegal immigrants have sought asylum in  New York City since last spring.  He stated, "We continue to  surpass our moral obligations with shelter, food, health care, education, and a host of other services.

Dear Editor,Life begins at the point of conception. No one can deny that after a human being is conceived it will develop into the very same being as those debating this issue. What astounds me is that those who favor abortion went through an identical development stage as the being they are condemning to death. Would these very same people agree that a similar choice should have been made about their own existence? How many human lives have been lost that could have added to our society in so many ways?Abortion today is used primarily as a birth control of convenience because people are too self-centered to take precautions.

"Build a Bridge and get over it" was the line used by Supervisor Rick Primmer in a campaign letter in support of the former Benton County Attorney, David Thompson. Quoting a line he said that came from his own father, Primmer addressed what he thought were reasons that people had for not wanting to vote for former County Attorney David Thompson...oh and also the lone supervisor who welcomed huge campaign signs on his property in support of Thompson.
