After our parents died, Verna Mae, Hollis, and my Aunt Nell supported Darline and me in every way possible. We would not have made it without them and so many others.
Verna Mae was full of life and never met a stranger. She was loving, caring, and made a positive difference in so many lives. She always made Christmas special for all.
We have all lost someone very dear to us, and my Aunt Nell has lost her best friend.
The people of Iowa are well served by Senator @ChuckGrassley. He is a consistent conservative, independent-minded, and a true gentleman.
I am proud to call him a friend and proud to support his reelection to the Senate. #IASen
Senator Grassley is a humble public servant, the exact opposite of his Democratic opponent. While I respect Mr. Franken’s service, I find many of his statements to be condescending and beyond the pale.
➡️ He was offended by the idea that he would be the junior senator to Joni Ernst, who was a mere Lt. Colonel.
➡️ He suggested the Governor of Iowa, Kim Reynolds, should fly away on a broom.
With all due respect to Elon Musk - and I do respect him - I would suggest he needs to understand the facts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Suggesting we end the Russian invasion by simply giving Russia parts of Ukraine - after all the suffering - is dumb.
It is also an affront to the bravery of the Ukrainians fighting to defend their homeland.
In 1994, through the Budapest Memorandum, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons arsenal — the third largest in the world — in return for assurances their territorial integrity would be protected.
