Let’s put pressure where pressure needs to be put on the people who would starve half the planet.

I never want to see the number one sponsor of terrorism being able to threaten the United States or take more U.S. lives, including our own soldiers.

Here’s the reality: when Washington spends more time making themselves rich, they spend less time taking care of the country.

Iowa is ground zero for election day success.

If there’s an opportunity to be proactive on this, to be able to find ways to help both droughts and floods, while at the same time monitoring things that are important to all of us — water quality, nitrates, phosphates, helping to have…
