Public service announcement! Do you hate guns and want them out of your life, for good? I have decided to take a stand and help out in the best way I can think of. If you or your friends have a pistol, revolver, shotgun, or rifle looking to be removed, I will take it (permanently) and ensure that it ends up in a safe place. I normally charge for this kind of service, but I am willing to waive my fees because I care. Free pick-up service is also available within a 100-mile radius.
Private message me today so that your home can be a gun-free safe zone. I will give $10 gift cards to Starbucks (they are gun-free, as well!) for semi-automatics, pre-WWII military fi****ms, and pre-1964 Winchesters. As a final safety precaution, I will take the ammo, too!
Thanks in advance.
If you're local and have any old ammo lying around please message me and I can come get it!
Glad to be of service, this is my Public Service for all who need it!
Private Message me, please!!
If you stand behind the 2nd amendment copy and post!!

Kevin Wiemers and Kim Wiemers, thanks for your help tonight! Not a lot of people would drive 20 minutes after just kicking off your shoes for the day to help a guy out in a pinch, but you did. RESPECT!!

I am thinking of you, now, my fellow Americans.

We have always been a unique union. America, the fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and common sense must ascend and bring us back together as one.

When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron’s life, were on the brink of devastating change. I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband.

To the families of the innocent victims who are now suffering from this heinous act, I humbly offer my sincerest sympathy. Your need to summon your inner strength for such a terrible reason saddens me.

A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald’s passion - his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration. The core facets of my husband’s life - his human side - were buried below the political machine. Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times.

Let us not forget that differing opinions, policy, and political games are inferior to love. Our personal, structural, and life commitment - until death - is at serious risk. Political concepts are simple when compared to us, human beings.

We are all humans, and fundamentally, instinctively, we want to help one another. American politics are only one vehicle that can uplift our communities. Love, compassion, kindness and empathy are necessities.

And let us remember that when the time comes to look beyond the left and the right, beyond the red and the blue, we all come from families with the passion to fight for a better life together, while we are here, in this earthly realm.

Dawn is here again. Let us reunite. Now.

This morning, ascend above the hate, the vitriol, and the simple-minded ideas that ignite violence. We all want a world where respect is paramount, family is first, and love transcends. We can realize this world again. Each of us must demand to get it back. We must insist that respect fills the cornerstone of our relationships again.

I am thinking of you, my fellow Americans.

The winds of change have arrived. For those of you who cry in support, I thank you. I commend those of you who have reached out beyond the political divide – thank you for remembering that every single politician is a man or a woman with a loving family.

A few things I've learned from owning a business...
* Your business is only as good as its employees and their manager.
* If the team won't speak up, you've failed as a leader.
* Don't just set the pace, set the standard. Excellence is contagious.
* If your actions don't inspire, your words won't either. Lead by example.

Does anyone remember all the talk about beef prices going up last year when so many momma cows were being butchered because the ranchers didn’t have feed for them due to the drought? That time is here.
I was sent a price sheet from an auction here in Iowa where 300 pound calves were selling for $4 per pound!! Now the farmer has to put another 1,100 pounds on them before being able to market them.
If you are in the market for beef so you can enjoy it this summer without going broke, BUY IT NOW!!
Give WEST RIVER MEATS a call at 515-361-6846 to book your 1/4, 1/2 or whole beef now!!
