The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld a controversial six-week abortion ban, leading to outcry from pro-choice supporters. The ban, which blocks abortions once a detectable heartbeat is present, makes exceptions in cases of rape, incest, or to protect the mother's life. Critics believe the law infringes on women's rights, predicting it may lead to a health care crisis for women in the state. The…

The CBS Evening News has now entered into the national discussion over the disparity in pay between the NBA and the WNBA, bringing advocacy to the discussion of whether female athletes are automatically entitled to the same compensation as their male counterparts while ignoring market dynamics. 

The top left corner of Monday’s New York Times tackled the “book bans” in Idaho and Iowa. Conservative activists were disparaged over 2,600 words. But the same reporter, Elizabeth Williamson, filed a shorter story on leftist censors in Maine opposing Abigail Shrier's book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters. It didn't make the paper. 

Cassidy Kraus, a former teacher at IKM Manning School in Iowa, pled guilty to sexually abusing one of her 13-year-old students.

U.S. Navy Veteran Michael Cassidy has been charged with a hate crime for beheading a statue of Satan at the Iowa Capitol in December.

You can’t make it up. Former President Donald Trump wins the Iowa Caucuses in a blowout, winning 51% of the vote. But when he arrives to give the traditional televised thank-you victory speech, MSNBC blacked him out. CNN gave him a few minutes before dumping out. Usually, they're not that generous. 

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich appeared on Fox News Monday night as Iowa voters caucused and delivered a decisive victory for Donald Trump in his quest to win the Republican presidential nomination and a second term as president.

Trump currently leads in the polls in New Hampshire, South Carolina and every other primary state. Get ready for “Trump vs. Biden II: Electric Boogaloo.”

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel took the air on Tuesday to disparage the Iowa Caucus as “the polar opposite of MLK Day” and the way they count the votes because, to Kimmel, putting votes in a paper bag is hilarious, but the DNC’s 2020 app fiasco is something worth memory-holing.

Several Washington Post stories reported from Iowa this week by Meryl Kornfield display an interesting double standard in proof. Republican concerns have been "debunked" that Christians have been persecuted like never before, but Republicans say "without evidence, that transgender people are a threat to children or have a mental health disorder."

Reacting to Monday’s results in the low-turnout Iowa caucuses, Tuesday’s CBS Mornings opened its second hour by demanding 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley to not only drop out, but haranguing her with the usual issues that only the liberal media care about as opposed to, you know, real Americans: the 2020 election and demanding Republicans say Donald Trump is “unfit” to…

On Tuesday’s installment of MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports, the eponymous host defended the media’s decision to project Donald Trump as the winner of the Iowa Caucus even before all precincts and started voting by claiming voters couldn’t change what they were going to do. Meanwhile, correspondent Vaughn Hillyard blamed modern technology for the media’s decision as if it was somehow…

Rachel Maddow often announces MSNBC won't air live speeches from Donald Trump because "There is a cost to us, as a news organization, of knowingly broadcasting untrue things." But that never stops the Madcow speeches about the "rise of fascism in this…
