@vanessabucca @RandPaul Senator Paul - you have my 100% support as always, Sir!

@RandPaul The leader of the pack was 🤍 and walked away with $250M from MN. Why is there no smoke for her? Keep that same energy. 🤷🏿‍♀️👇🏿 Do your research it's free. #Minnesota #FeedingOurFuture

$1.1 million stolen from American taxpayers meant for feeding children. One year in prison. You or I would get a decade behind bars for stealing a fraction of that. My End Welfare for Non-Citizens Act stops this from happening. Call your senator and tell them to support my bill → (202) 224-3121

@vanessabucca @RandPaul Vanessa - she was the leader of the pack and only received 51 months during sentencing! Those are my and your tax dollars stolen, that were meant for under privileged people.

@elonmusk Failed state

Wow

@ChrisMWilliams Brilliant! @MurphyKeith "Murph is on the street howitzer"

@LouNewsMan They're all in trouble, Lou!

The word is out! Wish me luck!

@MCFick Good coach and Great man

A very emotional homecoming for Kyle Green this morning as he returns to Northern Iowa for a fourth stint - this time as head coach. Both son A.J. and daughter Emerson are now Panther basketball alums.

@MatthiasISU Love it! Hoping this one has even more miles than Tamin

@nickhaltermpls Who are these Twins? ;)

The doctor in this story has misdiagnosed Twins fans. They're not angry. They were angry in 2024. Now they're something much worse: Apathetic.

@mikeroweworks Mike - @jimmykimmel can't hold your jock strap! Great post

I want to apologize for not responding to any of the 22 thousand comments my last post inspired. I’ve been filming all week and just noticed my observations about Jimmy Kimmel and a former plumber named Markwayne Mullin have gone viral. I've also noticed that many of the comments are from people who genuinely seem to believe that Jimmy wasn’t belittling plumbers at all, but was instead, simply trying to point out that Mullin is not qualified to lead the DHS. Here's a small smattering... Roger Bicknell... Mikey stop. Kimmel wasn't making fun of plumbers he was making fun of Mullin. Rebecca Piatt Gonzalez... Dearest Mike, it's not anything to do with his being a plumber. It's him NOT being skilled in Homeland Security. Patrick Wise... Being a plumber qualifies you to be a plumber. Period. The issue Jimmy and the rest of us at the adult table recognize is that jobs require certain training and experience and being a plumber does not qualify you to be Sec of DHS. Had Roger, Rebecca, Patrick and all the others who rushed to Jimmy’s Kimmel’s defense actually read what I had written, they would see that I did not suggest - even remotely - that a plumber was inherently qualified to hold a cabinet position. What I said was that being a plumber should not disqualify a person from holding such a position. Big difference. Doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, fireman, and university professors are no more or less qualified to run the DHS than plumbers, electricians, or carpenters – but should they all be dismissed as “unqualified” simply because they made a living in some other vocation? As I wrote in my original post, credentials and diplomas are great ways to bolster a person’s credibility, especially if we’re talking about mastering a specific skill. I think we can all agree that plumbers, accountants, mechanics, and surgeons should all have to prove themselves competent before hanging out a shingle. But what do their credentials and diplomas have to do with their actual competency? Are we not already surrounded by a legion of perfectly qualified experts who don't know what the hell they're doing? Moreover, what do credentials and experience have to do with wisdom, honesty, common sense, integrity, courage, the ability to lead, or any other virtue we’d like to have in our elected officials? There are plenty of legitimate reasons to question Mullin’s suitability for this role. But there’s no legitimate reason to disqualify him simply because he used to be a plumber. Just as there was no legitimate reason to dismiss AOC because she used to tend bar. As for the joke itself, here’s an honest question. If Senator Mullin was a retired doctor instead of a retired plumber, do you believe he would have would made the same joke? Roger, Rebecca, Patrick...be honest. Do you really think Jimmy would have said to his audience, "So, now we have a DOCTOR in charge of protecting us from terrorism? Hey – it worked for Dr. Suess – maybe it’ll work for Markwayne!" Personally, I don't. Not in a million years. Why? Because no one would have found it funny, that’s why. Even though doctors are no more “qualified” to protect us from terrorists than plumbers are, Jimmy knows that doctors are widely respected in society, and that plumbers are not. He knows that medical degrees and doctorates are aspirational credentials, whereas plumbing certificates are not. The entire premise of his joke was based on a personal bias that he knew his audience shared – a bias that presupposes plumbers are uneducated, one-dimensional workers who never made it to college, and are therefore "unqualified" to do anything but plumb. Jimmy is entitled to his opinion, along with anyone else who believes that Mullin is unqualified to lead the DHS. The Constitution, however, says otherwise, and so does the Senate. Likewise, reasonable people can disagree as to what is funny and what isn’t. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. What I do care about, is the extraordinary shortage of plumbers and electricians our country is facing, and the longstanding stigmas and stereotypes that continue to discourage people from considering a lucrative career in the skilled trades. Jimmy’s joke – and his audience’s reaction to it – is proof positive that those stigmas and stereotypes are alive and well. PS. We have a lot of money set aside to help train the next generation of plumbers. Apply for a scholarship at mikeroweworks.org Who knows? Could be the first step on your road to President..

@WalterHudson A hero!

Very well played.

@WilliamShatner Aye Captain! (just watched Generations this evening - you are a Legend)

My Daughter came over to tell me her daughter heard that I had brain cancer. 🙄 She took this photo and sent it to me to upload to prove I'm not ill. The people who are ill are those that are spreading these ridiculous stories. I'm fit as a fiddle. You don't have to worry.

@Audra_Martin Suns out, Guns out!

When it's much warmer than you thought it was going to be, what do you do? You grab scissors from the dugout and cut the sleeves off your shirt. 😜💪🏼✂️

@IowaEverywhere @MurphyKeith @Murph_Andy @AndrewCDowns Iowa State 66-62 Iowa (Dec 11, 2025) Final Score - ESPN

@IowaEverywhere @MurphyKeith @Murph_Andy @AndrewCDowns Iowa State was in the top 15 all season. Top 10 most of the season. Iowa got lucky on a 2 week stint. No contest. This is a Cyclone State

Who had a better season: Iowa or Iowa State?

@MeatSauce1 Who? :)

The twins are a 110 loss team

@jaketapper @PeteHegseth @springsteen Jake - you have publicly admitted you dropped the ball on Biden. Wrote a book about it and made money. You have absolutely zero credibility left to judge anyone. Retire with your book money.

secretary @PeteHegseth - would you make the same decision had these pilots done the same thing to celebrate @springsteen? Or is this contingent upon folks sharing your political views?

@ScottPresler Keep kickin ass, Scott!

I’m almost there. In 4 more days, I’ll have gone 1 entire year w/o chocolate, bread, or pasta. Chicken, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, avocados, blueberries, tomatoes, bell peppers, protein powder, & hearts of palm have completely transformed my life for the better.

@LouNewsMan Ordered! Looking forward to reading it, Lou.

Release day is finally here! Mastermind is available now.

@jasonkovacs Jason - Thanks to your son for his service!

Just said goodbye to my son as he heads out Tuesday for his first deployment with the Marines. Proud of him. Grateful for him. Entrusting God to guide him and keep him.

@ChrisMWilliams Chris - I've had 20 hours to process thru the disappointment. And I've had 2 beers so far tonight :) You are our Bard. You are one of our greatest Cyclone storytellers. Appreciate you very much. August isn't far away :) Roll Clones!

Signing off on the 2025/26 Iowa State athletics season.
