  • We are not participating in an October 7 debate opposite a candidate who has publicly described supporters of Israel as members of a “demonic cult,” alleged that “Israel uses dogs to rape hostages,” invoked “Nazi Germany playbooks,” and called Israel a “death cult.” Those are Ms. May's words. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance specifically identifies comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis as an example that may constitute antisemitism, taking the overall co

  • Every single No vote on Iowa's Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act came from a Democrat. The bill bars warrantless gun seizures and creates a $50,000 penalty for any agency that violates it.

See my op-ed in The American Spectator below in the first comment, and please sign my petition in the second comment.

  • I filed the strongest anti-Flock bill in the Iowa Legislature this year. It banned the cameras outright - no state agency, no city, no county, no law enforcement, and no hiring a private company to do it for you. Cameras down. Data destroyed in 30 days. Personal liability for officials who broke the law. It never got a subcommittee hearing. It died at the funnel. I am filing it again - and this time I want to walk into that committee room with a list of names behind me. Government has no busi

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
