In America today, one of the rites of passage that marks the transition to full adulthood is paying your own phone bill. By this standard, many people — even those well into middle age — are stuck in an extended adolescence.

On my first attempt to find Bernardo de Gálvez in 2015 in Pensacola, Florida, he was difficult to spot. I eventually found him at Fort George, in the form of a small stone bust with the words “Yo Solo” (“I Alone”) carved underneath.
Electric vehicles drivers should help pay for roads, but not more than other motorists
Ukraine is faring better on the battlefield. Russia’s costs are surging even as its military gains shrink. If Ukraine can sustain this trajectory, perhaps it can finally force Moscow to make a decent peace.
The private sector is cutting parental leave benefits. The U.S. fertility rate is at sub-replacement levels. Republicans in Congress seem rudderless in the face of affordability concerns.

The Trump administration’s embrace of coal power is a timely and essential response to a three-headed energy emergency. The U.S. is facing an electricity supply crisis shaped by rapidly eroding grid reliability, soaring power demand and ballooning prices. The coal fleet is critical to tackli…

Long gone are the days where impulse buying meant grabbing an unplanned candy bar or magazine in the checkout line. Now, social media makes it quick and easy for us to purchase just about anything with the click of a button, whether or not it’s in the budget. And for some Americans, it’s hurting them...
Black Friday is fast approaching, and shoppers are gearing up. The National Retail Federation expects more than 183 million people to shop over the weekend spanning Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday this year. But fraudsters are preparing for Black Friday too, looking for opportunities to steal your money or personal information. Before you dive into holiday...
Holiday shopping season is upon us, and the pressure is on, or at least it feels that way for some parents. A new NerdWallet survey, conducted by The Harris Poll, finds that 48% of parents with children under 18 feel pressure to spend more money on holiday gifts than they’re comfortable spending.According to NerdWallet’s annual...
The MAGA U.S. senators have just proved to me that the so called White House Correspondents Dinner shooting was fake! They are proposing a bill that would use $1 billion in taxpayer money to fund Trump's gaudy, unwanted ballroom because of the so-called "secret" presidential bunker. News flash: It's not a secret! We all know Trump doesn't know the meaning of the word secret. The bunker isn't needed. There has been a presidential bunker since at least the Cold War, if not WWII. He doesn't like it because its not all new and shiny! Trump said the ballroom was going to be funded completely by private donations and no taxpayer money. Plus the cost keeps going up. First it was $300 million, then $400 million, and now apparently $1 billion. I couldn't have seen that coming. Oh wait, I could.
I continue to be amazed by the confusion surrounding what public comments means during City Council meetings. The First Amendment does protect freedom of speech, but it does not give any individual the right to make accusations or derogatory comments toward council members or the mayor during a council meeting in violation of decorum and council procedures.
Republicans sit in Des Moines and wonder why people leave Iowa. They just need to look at legislation passing to the governor. State overreach is becoming ridiculous; restriction of local IDs, controlling high school curriculum, limiting screen time and foot stomping about flag lowering for pro-assault rifle sexist racists. Add in the dumb ideas of passing out horse dewormer and requiring supermajority to pass tax hikes for the rich. They eliminate police officer bias training while insuring no diversity programs in the state and take food assistance away from refugees. Make Iowa white again? Still not as bad as what we are seeing federally. Everything I told you MAGA morons about this administration is true. Every campaign promise a lie. Trump wipes his behind with the Constitution, most recently changing what he calls war. Your pedophile protector now wants a $1 billion for his free $100 million ballroom while you pay higher gas prices, more expensive utilities, groceries. Airlines are going broke midflight. Now we have our new pandemic on the horizon. CDC is gutted. Kennedy is useless. Oz is not a credible doctor. Passengers from the hantavirus-infected ship in five U.S. states. Déjà vu over again.
I am writing to express concern over the University of Northern Iowa's request to the Board of Regents to raze the former Alumni House. In recent years, we've seen a troubling pattern of historic campus buildings being allowed to deteriorate to the point where demolition becomes the only option. The 2024 demolition of the historic West Gymnasium is a clear example.
