Nearby: Washington, IASoo Line by Soo GreimanIt’s been four years since two local veterans took part in an Honor Flight that departed Waterloo’s airport Sept. 22, 2022, but both are still talking about the amazing experience they enjoyed. For many, the trip was the first opportunity they had to visit the memorials in our nation’s capital that were built in their honor. Others discovered the rousing welcome-home celebration they received sharply contrasted with the disrespectful moments they’d been subjected to years before as young soldiers.Among the veterans aboard the jet headed to Washington, D.C., early that September morning were friends Dave Rousselow and Dalton Uhde, classmates who had grown up together at Orange School.

Nearby: Washington, IAIowa has spoken. We are tired of being defined by political parties. We are Americans and Iowans who deserve to be respected, represented, and heard.Iowans are exhausted by partisan rhetoric, political division, and the unwillingness to work together. The support for Ashley Hinson and Zach Lahn alongside the election of governor-elect Rob Sand suggests that some Republican voters also supported Rob Sand.Voters are not always defined by party labels.As an Iowan, I regret voting for President Trump in 2016. I hoped his business background would bring a fresh perspective to Washington, reduce division, and encourage cooperation. That is not what I witnessed.Iowa’s currant senators have equally disappointed.

Nearby: Washington, IAThis story originally appeared on The Advocate. Isaac James took in last week’s election results from a bar in Washington, D.C. The victories of pro-LGBTQ+ candidates across the United States struck him as more than cause for excitement. “It felt like a vindication,” he told The Advocate. That’s because James spent months coordinating a voter outreach campaign as executive director of OutVote, a group founded in 2024 to strengthen voting among LGBTQ+ young people. His team organized meetups and campaigns nationwide, focusing on swing districts in Iowa, Michigan, and North Carolina. “We had a big watch party with a lot of OutVote supporters in D.C. Over 100 people joined us,” James said. “The excitement, I hadn’t seen anything like that. It felt like something I’d been waiting for for a long time.” During the November 3 general election, pro-LGBTQ+ candidates won in each race. Christina Bohannan claimed victory in Iowa’s 1st congressional district.

Johnson Elementary Veterans Appreciation Assembly: Thanking those who served By Victor Joecks Special to the Pahrump Valley Times November 11, 2026 - 4:20 am Republicans’ dismal showing in 2026 has made their 2028 presidential primary much more interesting. It has long seemed likely that President Donald Trump’s support would decide the 2028 GOP presidential nomination. He has dominated Republican Party politics for a decade. His ardent base adores him for bucking the amnesty-pushing GOP establishment and for numerous accomplishments. This seemed to suggest that Trump would endorse a presidential candidate, putting him or her on a glide path to the nomination. The most likely candidate was Vice President JD Vance. His position made him the obvious successor. He’s extremely intelligent and well-spoken.
