Trump Nomination Of Matt Gaetz Raises Eyebrows buff.ly/4hQFYnV

This is super true, but should Gaetz's nomination fail — and based on the reactions of GOP senators, it could — no one will be wearing a bigger shit-eating grin on their face than one Kevin McCarthy.

The person most excited about Gaetz for AG? Mike Johnson.



He was Bob Cole. He started life as a son, brother and farmer. Later, he became a husband, father, businessman, town leader, golfer and grandfather. In between all that, he was a sailor in the South Pacific. After that, he bore one other title: United States Veteran. #VeteransDay

Something I don't say in this column: The only reason Kamala had a chance in the first place is because her opponent was the obviously-not-universally-but-still-widely-hated Donald Trump. It's all right to admit it: GAWD, she was a terrible candidate. thegazette.com/staff-columnis…

Leading up to the Presidential election, people are already “taking sides and prepping for violence,” according to one sociology professor. Average Americans are stocking up on toilet paper, buying Taser guns, and armoring their cars. nyer.cm/vMx7X09



Biden can still run again in 2028



I am not at all disappointed that we won't be havung to hear that cackle over the next four years. #Election2024


LINN COUNTY EARLY VOTERS: I just got a text from someone who told me the line at Lindale Mall was pretty long at the moment. If that continues and you want to vote elsewhere today, the Jean Oxley Public Service Center is open until 5pm. We're currently running a very short line.


If only he knew someone who used to work on the National Security Council who could tell.

The timing, right before the election is very troubling. This can be an effort to silence critics of @realDonaldTrump and Elon. Can someone tell me if this is legit?

The trans issue comes down to liberal and feminist women backing feminine liberal men who want to be women. Blaming this on "conservative MALE misogyny," or something, is just a bizarre take.


Decades ago when my family was on one of our many drives from Marion to Story City to visit my grandparents, my dad mused that Highway 30 would likely be wholly four-lane between Cedar Rapids and Ames by the time my brother started at ISU. Rob's 36 now. Better late than never!

Oh my goodness it’s finally happened. Everything from Ames to CR is finally all four lane🥹



Just three hours until the deadline for you to submit mail ballot requests or register in time to be found in your Election Day polling place register. After that, you can still register and vote with the proper documentation. #Iowa #Election2024 thegazette.com/staff-columnis…


Dude tweeted this with 30 seconds left and UCF having the ball, and for a hot second I thought we were screwed by the jinx. Phew.
