YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

I was wondering what would happen if I brought my 1952 Ferguson tractor, normally battleship gray, to the Mount Pleasant Iowa Old Threshers' Reunion of antique farm equipment painted instead in green and yellow. The tractor would be better received if it were painted pink with multicolored tulips.

More than 40 years ago we gave the rich tax breaks with the promise that it would grow the economy and benefit the poor with its "trickle down" benefits. It's time to recognize that this was a lie. It hasn't worked. It won't work. Vote as though your life depended on it.

Our group was delighted to work with the @bohannaniowa.bsky.social crew for a third time to canvass Fairfield. Meanwhile, I went to a gorgeous part of SW Jefferson County. People agree Iowa needs stronger rural schools & hospitals, clean water & safe care centers. Join us! Odonnellforhouse87.com.

Twenty-five years ago today, I awoke at 2:30 a.m. to a phone call from my former wife. She had been arrested for DUI and had legal questions. It was a long conversation, the second-to-last before she died. I called my office at 8 to say I wasn't coming in. The receptionist told me to turn on the TV.

Got an LG tv? Disconnect it from the internet. It's spying on you and connecting to other wireless devices to spy on you more. When did this become socially acceptable? www.pocket-lint.com/i-stopped-my...

I stopped my LG TV from spying on me by adjusting these 5 settings
Your LG TV does a lot in the background that you might not be aware of.

When the neighbor's cedar tree dropped a limb onto our roof, puncturing the family room ceiling, my daughter and her friends decorated the limb as a Christmas tree and sent this out as their holiday card.
