"It’s got me thinking: @NikkiHaley, as a former governor of South Carolina, is a lot like Iowa’s current governor, @KimReynoldsIA. And just as our governor has built up Iowa, Nikki could lead a great American comeback." — @elschmitt3g

This is just the 12th editorial I've published at the @IowaTorch (which seems hard to believe since it's been going for over a year). I like to focus my writing on news, but felt like we needed to make a statement about this bill. #ialegis #iapolitics

Clean water is a priority and clean water protections are not contrary to economic development, but they don't have to punish rural Americans.

We confronted the CCP — the party is doing so much destruction to the Uighur Muslims & its own people, who want to practice their faith. When we called them out, they sanctioned me. I guess we won’t take any family vacations to China — and that’s fine. iowatorch.com/2021/07/16/pom…
