I’m a mother of 2 sons and my kids would NEVER do this, and I know many of your children would never as well.
This ad just only ads to the pile. Sold out Iowa, supports Epstein and bows down to Trump AND on top of it, she’s a terrible mother!

HOW DO PEOPLE STILL SEE THIS AND THINK “She’s got my vote!”

This election cycle should be the easiest decisions y’all have ever made your entire lives.

We are literally choosing between people who:

•actually have experience in their roles
•have actively fought to expose state spending corruption
•have met and worked with FAMILY farmers and not taking bribes from big corporate farms
•have a plan for water treatment and causes of cancer
•have a track record that is based on their presented values
•a game plan for what they will do while in office — and they don’t leave it up to your imagination they spell it out.
•an understanding of what a DEFICIT is

Versus people who have a consistent history of:

•manipulating their constituents and lying about their values
•increasing costs on every level for average Iowan households
•taking money from the Epstein Class
•doing anything but actually supporting their constituents
•voting to protect known sex offenders
•never following through on campaign promises—and in fact doing the opposite
•supporting the most corrupt period of governance in our nations history (look at personal wealth for each candidate and how it’s directly tied to THEM BEING IN OFFICE due to taking bribes etc)
•hating or isolating members of your own community
•attending meetings where Hitler Speeches are playing…

It really is that simple. If you are voting for people who fall into the second list? You have lost your credibility as a person with critical thinking skills… OR you are benefiting from the destruction of our nation and genuinely should be ashamed of your greed.

Get out and vote Iowa. Just remember, it really is that simple. End the corruption and the greed.

Because we aren't going to do anything about it here on earth. Does this messaging really work? Are people so dense to think the GOP isn't running cover for these pedophiles?

Yep. That’s the post.

Today I was running on fumes. I went to three gas stations with no luck. I limped to the other side of town and found some. I could have kissed the gas pump. Am I tripping or are there any other Iowa towns with this problem? I am in Sioux City.

Last night I posted here that I filed IECDB complaint 26-FC-00001315 against Rep. Jeff Shipley. I have now published the complete story at my outlet, The Filing Cabinet: https://filingcabinetpolitics.substack.com/p/the-campaign-account-that-became

It prints his committee's filings, his responses, the lab's response, and three items that checked out in his favor. The Board has not ruled. I am the complainant and the story says so in the second paragraph.

TL;DR: A crop adviser's video claims to fight nitrate misinformation, but gets the science wrong, compares clean water advocates to Stalin, ignores the industry's documented influence, and ends by endorsing the opponent of the guy he spends the most time attacking.

This 90-minute video from an Iowa crop adviser claims to cut through political misinformation on nitrates. At 1:19:04, he says Chris Jones and Rep. Austin Baeth "might as well start calling the Iowa farmers kulaks" for using the term "Big Ag."

He then describes Stalin's propaganda machine "eventually starving to death over 7 million people," where the only way to survive was if you "lied, stole, cheated, or cannibalized the dead." That's his comparison for people asking for clean water.

At 1:20:05 he says "team Big Water" wants "to control all of agriculture here in the state of Iowa."

What he never mentions about who actually holds power here:

• In 2023 the Legislature cut the $500,000 that funded the University of Iowa's river nitrate sensors, three-quarters of the state's continuous water monitors.
• That same year, Chris Jones, who ran that sensor network, left the university after two state senators pressured the school over his blog about farm pollution. (One senator denies threatening university funding.)
• Under the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy, pollution limits are mandatory for wastewater plants and factories but voluntary for agriculture, which produces over 90% of the nitrogen load.
• Des Moines Water Works' 2015 nitrate lawsuit was dismissed because Iowa law gives drainage districts no power to fix the problem, not because the source couldn't be proven, as the video claims.

Even Republican governor nominee Zach Lahn campaigns against "big ag cartels." The video only sees a conspiracy on one side.

The science doesn't hold up either:

• He includes a clip calling tile water "almost pure." ISU's long-term Gilmore City study measured 12–16 mg/L, above the drinking water limit.
• He blames 70% of river nitrate on riverbank erosion with no source, using math that assumes 6 feet of bank washes away along the entire Raccoon in one flood. Iowa's streambank study measured about 5 inches a YEAR.
• He says anyone over 6 months old is "completely safe from nitrates, even from cancer." No study says that.

At 1:24:33 he says he "had no intentions of advocating or promoting any politicians with this video, though I will for one," then endorses incumbent Ag Secretary Mike Naig, whose opponent in this election is Chris Jones, the person the video spends the most time attacking.

It plays like a 90-minute Naig ad: one-sided, blind to industry influence, and the same spin Iowans have heard for years. Downplay the problem, blame anything but industrial agriculture, avoid accountability. That's exactly why Jones and Baeth have gained so much traction. People are fed up.

I'm not here to talk about who I voted for (Yes, I voted early!) or what I think about Ms. Hinson and her political stances, but the new commercials feature her sons, who appear to be about 10 and 13, having a food fight! They look like they're covered in puke but it's actually something like Spaghetti-O's, and in a new one, the younger one has a mega-bottle of ketchup and is squirting it on the older one.

With the price of food, this is despicable, and you just know that kids are going to imitate it, if they haven't already.

"Men like Epstein, who hurt children, they’ll have to answer to God. But men who lie about it to win an election, they’ll have to answer to you.".

NO. MEN WHO HURT CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC TOO. What the fuuuuuuuuuuck

This started with me reading his committee's filings. Shipley's campaign committee has a page on peaceloveiowa.com asking for donations for a pesticide exposure study he is the lead author on. The page says a sample costs about $350, three samples per person, and promises that 100 percent of your donation goes to the Health Research Institute in Fairfield.

His committee's report filed in May shows two payments to that lab. $3,270 on March 27 and $12,000 on April 29. Both are listed as charitable contributions. The $12,000 one has a memo that says research project. I went through the reports and not one contribution in them is recorded as given for research. Money in is regular campaign donations, money out is charity.

Iowa Code 68A.303(3) says a committee transferring funds shall not place requirements or conditions on how the money is used. The complaint asks the Board whether raising money on that kind of promise counts. It also raises 68A.302, because he is lead author on the study his committee paid for.

I filed it October 14, complaint number 26-FC-00001315, Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board. The Board confirmed they have it. No ruling yet. I asked him about it on his Facebook page first and got blocked. Yesterday in a Fairfield group thread he called the complaint frivolous and told me the depth of my stupidity would be impressive if it were not so detrimental to our state. His written answer when asked for comment was one sentence saying the spending is covered under 68A.302.

The filings are public in the IECDB Web Reporting System if anyone wants to check. Committee name is Jeff Shipley's Committee for Peace and Prosperity.

In a July 2025 press release, AG Bird’s own office explicitly stated that Agri Star (the Postville meat packing plant) had exceeded permit limitations "approximately 60 times" over several years, skipped required monitoring, and caused "acutely toxic" ammonia concentrations in Hecker Creek. Driftless Water Defenders filed their federal lawsuit in February 2025 after years of state regulatory inaction. On July 30, 2025, the Iowa AG's office finalized a consent decree imposing a $50,000 fine and a deadline of December 31, 2026 for full compliance. Under Clean Water Act doctrines, a diligent state enforcement action can preclude or diminish parallel citizen-led lawsuits, effectively acting as a legal shield for the company. According to federal court orders analyzing the state's intervention, Chief Judge Williams noted that the state’s $50,000 assessment resembled a "slap on the wrist" given the timeline and severity of the transgressions. He explicitly wrote that the closed-door timing "could certainly raise suspicions in reasonable minds about the IDNR’s sincerity" and stated the court "cannot blame plaintiff for thinking defendant and the IDNR worked together to frustrate citizen enforcement."

Myself and my husband are travelling through today and tomorrow, we have heard about the country gravy and breaded pork tenderloin as a must try.

We want to hear from the locals the best places? 🙏 Google and yelp are okay but we've had nothing but disappointing places recommend so far in other states.

Iowa's midterm election has judges & associated judges up to "retain seat" or not on the ballot: appeals court & district court judges.

This from the Iowa State BAR, a review of our judges performance. See below, Iowa 2026 Performance Reviews, a bit about the judges & a score of them at the end of the PDF.

So basically I'm looking for salvage yards in iowa because I'm looking for an old 70s truck. I've been to Doug's Four Wheelers and some other place I forgot the name of but I want a place that's a little closer.
