2.5 minutes  – Been looking for a spot to play this video of a couple of left handed b-ball players:

The state of Iowa is turning. Iowans are anxious to vote for Democrats. They are also anxious to feel what it is like to actually be represented in the halls of government again, rather than being ignored by their elected representatives. Iowans want to see their representatives work on issues like inflation, healthcare, the cost of living and corruption rather than “cultural” issues that hide the real problems.

In just a few weeks, Iowans can begin to let their MAGA representatives how mad that they are for being ignored and made the fool by Trump and company.
