Johnson County colors are at half staff today in honor of Ahmed Osman, who was lost at Lake McBride Tuesday. On Monday, our flags will be at half staff in honor of Hannah Jorgensen, the teacher who sacrificed herself trying to save him. Please keep the families in your hearts.

MEMO TO SELF: Since this keeps happening, perhaps you should transfer your cache of spare plug wires from the garage to the truck.

A Fair Queen plug wire. The plug side jacket has exploded, leading to an unshielded connexon at the number five jug, less than an inch from the exhaust manifold, leading to terrible spark misfires and badly fouled plugs.

Here's what happened. It matches dozens of ICE's other car-smashing apprehensions, others of which ended with a shooting. “an unmarked black truck sideswiped him.” “He didn’t know it was ICE, and he did a U-turn under the highway. The truck chased him and sideswiped him again." Then ICE shot him.

Lincoln-Goldfinch shared Garcés Pérez’s account of the shooting, saying he was making a delivery when “an unmarked black truck sideswiped him.”

“He didn’t know it was ICE, and he did a U-turn under the highway. The truck chased him and sideswiped him again, and the agents came out and shot him in the back of the neck and pulled him out of the car,” she said.

If someone posted this about a Jewish Senator, it would be rightly condemned as anti-semitism. El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan, but because he is Muslim he is perpetually foreign and under suspicion.

"Succession planning," in this context, is really "wealth management" or more plainly, "dodging the inheritance tax." These no-longer-Iowan crybabies go on and on about death taxes, but they have CPAs to hoard money — and land.

Just tuned in to the Iowa game and my only complaint is two dumb penalties. The first was a wash (UNI had an offsetting offensive holding) but that roughing the passer was undisciplined.

I look forward to seeing whoever at Homeland Security posted the meme and issued this statement at the defendant's dock as we send them to prison.

When asked about the Wyoming attack, DHS said the agency will not speculate on motives, adding, "Any attempt to blame DHS for an unrelated attack is RECKLESS and FALSE."

I am not the least bit surprised, and despite the hypocrisy it might just work. Republicans have done a great job of weaponizing identity.

This was done on behalf of Iowans for Tax Relief. Not thrilled that the tax supermajority amendment looks as popular as it does, and that Chris Jones hasn't broken through. It's almost as if there's a lot going on.

Chuck Gray is a coward and a jackass.
Even by he most generous standard, the vast majority of Wyoming voters reject his shallow positions and want someone else to represent them.
Chuck Gray is relying on voter ignorance to propel him to Washington, and that is why he won’t debate! Every time Chuck is forced to perform in front of the people he claims to want to represent, he looks even more like a jackass.
Less than a quarter of the vote does not give this little wimp a pass to avoid the people’s scrutiny!
