MPL boardroom antics

My rejected November statement of concern contained a petition with nearly 200 signatures/numbers of patrons asking for placement of The Epoch Times and The American Rifleman, on the main shelf. Board contempt towards the public was displayed in Pres. Gaffney’s comment that some of the signatures were even gathered in the Walmart parking lot. The once proud Marshalltown Carnegie Public Library, has been highjacked and transformed into a copy of agenda driven libraries throughout the US. It succeeded with a rogue administration, bent on defrauding the public and its million-dollar ...

Trump is an idiot

Trump wants to deport illegals. The same Trump said he pardon people who attack the Capitol and yelled kill Mike Pence. It is Trump who marries foreign Bimbos and bring them here. It is Trump who pays porn star over $100,000 to keep her mouth shut. Republicans face facts Trump is idiot. That is why Trump been divorced multiple times.

God is an electioneer?

Of all the foolish letters published by the Times-Republican in an effort to make sure every delusional nut has an equal opportunity, the letter from Jerry Waterman proclaiming God as the unseen hand behind the Trump victory is the bozo award winner. I am a Christian and for (full of) Waterman to state that God created a miracle for Trump is blasphemous and insults all voters and elections. Perhaps if Waterman meets God, God will judge him for taking his name in vain. I hope when I move to Marshalltown, Waterman never crosses my path because I may take God’s name in vain.

My church is sketchy over the voucher school

The church I attend, the Meskwaki Church on 5th school, is gearing up in big way to support Fisher’s voucher school. Recently there have been several state courts declaring similar endeavors illegal. At least one Iowa former judge regarding this republican octane driven sketchorama is unconstitutional. At a meeting I mentioned the cookie drive, especially since in the church in question has a banner of a eagle clutching a constitution, to be illegal and given the banner is not only unconstitutional but illegal for the tax-exempt status of our church. I was shouted down as a trouble ...

Thankful people

America has chosen November as a time to remember our blessings. Just as God created and blest Israel, He did that for America too. Who can deny that a miracle happened on November 5, 2024. Surviving two assassination attempts Donald Trump became our Next President, handily. He also survived the lies, the nasty misquotes by the over-zealous news organizations. They surely must have known they were printing misinformation. For four years now, this world could be a better place to live. Many anti-religious folks angrily say that their “Abortion rights have been taken away.” God ...

Turn checking account alerts on

My wife wrote a check to our granddaughter for her birthday at the end of September and mailed it to her in her card. She never received it, stolen mail! Monday of this week, in my email, my bank sent a notice that I had a check coming through the system for several thousand dollars. That notice was generated from my setting up alerts on my account. I went to the bank right away and they stopped the check. They had an image of the check the next day, the bad guy(s) had washed the check and rewritten it to one of their accounts. I had set an alert on my account (you can do this ...
