Dear Editor, Heard Trump is coming to Iowa to campaign. You can go and listen to Trump bash Kim Reynolds. Dennis Benda Toledo
Every now and then, a window of opportunity opens up that won't open for another 1,000 years. With the dismal Democratic Leadership of Senator Boulton, we're passing legalization of marijuana. The Meskwaki are poised via their vape industry to take full advantage of poisoning our kids. The ...
