Dear Iowa voters, How's it going with this Trump presidency? Best, Retiring Guy



Reported in Iowans slam reported plan by Trump administration to appeal ruling against ethanol exemptions,  (Des Moines Register, 3/6/2020)

You have 240 days to wake up, to convert your outrage into action at the polls.


1/3/2020 update, "Another day, another Trump broken promise", starts here.

Jim, wake up!  Trump doesn't care about his promises to anyone.  As president, he's spent the past 3 years shamelessly enriching himself at our expense.


Despite heavy lobbying, Iowa farmers, elected leaders say Trump's EPA reneges on renewable fuels promise.  (Des Moines Register, 12/19/2019)
Geez, Donnelle, Trump failed to keep his own fuckin' promise.  Angry and disappointed, Iowa farmers, renewable fuel producers and congressional leaders said Thursday the Trump administration failed to keep the president's promise to restore ethanol and biodiesel demand lost through waivers to the oil industry.

Reported in Poet will 'pause production' at its Iowa plant that makes ethanol from corn cobs, husks.  (Des Moines Register, 11/19/2019)




10/3/2019 update, "Kim Reynolds warbles a slavish cover version of Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man"", starts here.


Gov. Reynolds: ‘I don’t think there’s anything’ to Trump impeachment inquiry.  (Des Moines, Register, 10/2/2019)

Whoa.  Kim is in

  1. Euple Byrd (1960-1966)
  2. Lloyd Franklin Amburgey (1967-1968)
  3. George Jones (1969-1975)
  4. Michael Tomlin (44 days in 1976)
  5. George Richey (1976-1996)
Who am I standing by today?



9/25/2019 update, "Iowa ethanol crisis UPDATE:  Governor Kim Reynolds gets sold a bill of goods",  starts here.


Reported in Another renewable fuel plant closes as Iowa leaders wait for White House biofuels fix. (Des Moines Register, 9/25/2019)

"Honor" and "Trump" in the same sentence does not compute.


Original 9/16/2019 post, "GET ME REWRITE:  Trump's actions continue to punish Iowa agriculture", starts here.


Reported in With the clock ticking on ethanol plants, Iowans urge Trump to reverse damage to biofuels industry.  (Des Moines Register, 9/15/2019)

CNN Interviews A North Carolina Mother And Daughter Divided Over 2020 Election: "Vote For Joe Biden, Mom".  (CNN, 3/6/2020)

First of all, Patricia, it's 1,122 days into a Trump presidency.  He will continue to tweet.  He will continue to shame the office of the Presidency.  He is incapable of change because the only person he cares about is himself.  That's just how it goes with narcissists.

Here's the thing.  Trump as president is like having a Russian mole in the White House.

CES2020: Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure


In the $155-170 range



High-tech toys takes center stage at CES 2020.  (The Toybook, 2/24/2020)
Physical play also meets digital play with toys that encourage kids to get active. Nintendo did it again with Ring Fit Adventure, which won a Kids at Play Interactive (KAPi) Award for its combination of an exercise-ring-shaped controller and a leg band that accompany Nintendo Switch gameplay. The award’s judges said the incentives that the game levels provided really got kids to move around and exercise. The number of physical game patterns supported by the ring and leg controller combo includes skateboarding, squats, yoga, and karate-like chops.

Among Amazon customers, most everyone is a believer.

Greetings from Trump's America: Monmouth County, New Jersey, where anti-Semitism permeates a competitive, military-themed school


She Was Excited for a New School. Then the Anti-Semitic ‘Jokes’ Started.  (The New York Times, 3/4/2020)
Out of town with her parents, a Jewish student named Paige received the message on the group chat. She stared at her phone in shock. There had been other anti-Semitic slights at the high school, the Marine Academy of Science and Technology, a competitive military-themed magnet school in the seaside borough of Highlands, but nothing as blatant as this.
She’d seen classmates doodling swastikas. A group of students had been reading “Mein Kampf,” Hitler’s autobiography, during free periods. And several students, Paige said, had been calling the SAT teacher an “obnoxious Jew.” 
Feeling hurt and hated, Paige threw her phone toward her mother. Her father, horrified, sent a screenshot to the principal.
