          If you spend enough time watching cable news, scrolling social media or listening to political consultants, you could be forgiven for believing Americans agree on almost nothing. Every debate seems to reinforce the same message: The country is hopelessly polarized along partisan lines.

                      LETTER: A $1 billion to fund Trump's unwanted ballroom

                      LETTER: A $1 billion to fund Trump's unwanted ballroom

                      The MAGA U.S. senators have just proved to me that the so called White House Correspondents Dinner shooting was fake! They are proposing a bill that would use $1 billion in taxpayer money to fund Trump's gaudy, unwanted ballroom because of the so-called "secret" presidential bunker. News flash: It's not a secret! We all know Trump doesn't know the meaning of the word secret. The bunker isn't needed. There has been a presidential bunker since at least the Cold War, if not WWII. He doesn't like it because its not all new and shiny! Trump said the ballroom was going to be funded completely by private donations and no taxpayer money. Plus the cost keeps going up. First it was $300 million, then $400 million, and now apparently $1 billion. I couldn't have seen that coming. Oh wait, I could.

                      LETTER: With Trump, every campaign promise is a lie

                      LETTER: With Trump, every campaign promise is a lie

                      Republicans sit in Des Moines and wonder why people leave Iowa. They just need to look at legislation passing to the governor. State overreach is becoming ridiculous; restriction of local IDs, controlling high school curriculum, limiting screen time and foot stomping about flag lowering for pro-assault rifle sexist racists. Add in the dumb ideas of passing out horse dewormer and requiring supermajority to pass tax hikes for the rich. They eliminate police officer bias training while insuring no diversity programs in the state and take food assistance away from refugees. Make Iowa white again? Still not as bad as what we are seeing federally. Everything I told you MAGA morons about this administration is true. Every campaign promise a lie. Trump wipes his behind with the Constitution, most recently changing what he calls war. Your pedophile protector now wants a $1 billion for his free $100 million ballroom while you pay higher gas prices, more expensive utilities, groceries. Airlines are going broke midflight. Now we have our new pandemic on the horizon. CDC is gutted. Kennedy is useless. Oz is not a credible doctor. Passengers from the hantavirus-infected ship in five U.S. states. Déjà vu over again.

                      LETTER: UNI should preserve Alumni House

                      LETTER: UNI should preserve Alumni House

                      I am writing to express concern over the University of Northern Iowa's request to the Board of Regents to raze the former Alumni House. In recent years, we've seen a troubling pattern of historic campus buildings being allowed to deteriorate to the point where demolition becomes the only option. The 2024 demolition of the historic West Gymnasium is a clear example.
