Just one day after smearing
@Potus
with a bullshit "foreign bribery" story, letter, and subpoena, Iowa's own Republican Senator
@ChuckGrassley
admits his allegation "may be untrue."
It's a lie, Senator. A flat-out lie.
The Russian spy who sent packages of disinformation to
@SenRonJohnson
and
@ChuckGrassley
about imaginary dirt on Hunter Biden was just charged with money laundering by the DOJ.
Seems like Grassley and Johnson were even bigger fools than we realized.
@GovMikeHuckabee
@whca
Now we know where
@PressSec
Sarah Sanders learned to lie so well and so often.
April Ryan did NOT say "Sarah's head should be lopped off."
Ryan said "heads should be lopped off" as in fired, dismissed, let go, no job, unemployment. And April is correct.
But you knew that.
So a student could attend a private school for a week using a $7,000 voucher, then enroll in public school and the private school gets to keep all $7,000.
What a deal,

Hunter and James Biden never worked for the government. They were never President of the U.S. And they didn't have cushy nepotism jobs in the White House while grifting off the government and making millions.
FBI possesses significant and voluminous evidence of potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden; what hv the FBI and Justice Department, to include U.S. Attorney Weiss, done to investigate??? Transparency brings accountability
Hey,

We're a middle-income family. Our federal tax bill is $2000 higher for 2018 than it was for 2017.
I'm paying more taxes so billionaires can pay less.
Two thirds of Iowa students receiving school vouchers this year were already attending a private school. Their parents were already paying private tuition.

With Reynolds' history of misappropriating federal pandemic relief funds, Iowa needs a state Auditor like Democrat Rob Sand to ensure accountability.

The Governor of Minnesota is 10x the governor the state of Iowa is stuck with.
Iowa used to be a welcoming, peaceful place.

Corporate profit. Corporate greed.

Markup (noun): What a corporation charges consumers on top of production costs, to generate profit.
Example: The biggest recorded year for markups was 2021.
