Sunset autumnal light on the prairie at Ledges State Park in central Iowa. The golden sun rays graze the tall prairie grass. The prairie looks like a wavy sea until it met the horizon, liked by dark grey clouds. Purple and pink frayed clouds overhead. At the center of the frame, a distant grove of trees peek over the grass. Ledges Park, Iowa (USA). November 10, 2013. Nikon D700.

I stand by my statement that Charlie Kirk wasted his life.
Anyone who spewed as much racism and misogyny as he did is disgraceful.
Anyone whose legacy is getting people fired for speaking freely about his character is a terrible role model.
TJ Roberts is a clone.

In Indiana, a massive tech development sparked rare unity. From left to right, citizens rallied to protect their water — and won new safeguards for the state’s supply. A reminder that water is a unifying issue.

Political Left, Right, and Everyone Between, United Over Water
Residents of Boone County, Indiana, had a lot to be anxious about in 2023 when state authorities revealed the scope of a nearly 10,000-acre innovation and high-tech manufacturing park they were developing outside Lebanon, a half-hour drive northwest of Indianapolis. One concern was the public taxpayer cost of the LEAP project – short for Limitless Exploration/Advanced Pace – now nearing $1 billion.
