Follow the science is what they said for the China virus but when it comes to gender they are delusional!
‘Earlier this year I was astonished to see there isn’t a single Democrat in the Iowa legislature willing to trust the science or side with basic biology.
I also was left scratching my head when soon-to-be-former State Rep. Dustin Hite said bills like the bathroom bill wouldn’t get a hearing in his committee any time soon. Hite was the chair of the House Education Committee. He said that when Republicans talk about “those issues,” they have to make sure they don’t come across as hateful.
What Hite and those Republicans who think like him obviously don’t understand is those who oppose science, common sense and reason on this issue do not care about approach — they care about the message.
The message, no matter how hard-lined or soft it is, comes across as hateful if we’re not willing to go along with preferred pronouns, fake females and make-believe men.
That’s the reality. And it shouldn’t be difficult to figure out.
I know that I lean to the right politically, and there are a few who might think of me as “far right” (I just prefer being right), but of all the issues out there, I know most Americans do not agree with the transgender push taking place across the country — regardless of their political leanings.

‘One of the RAGBRAI events in Mason City turned a few heads. A drag show followed the Sugar Ray concert in Mason City, drawing mixed reactions.
Some individuals enjoyed the show while others from the community lamented the fact it happened.
It does not appear the show was heavily advertised based on comments on social media or through the event’s website or social media pages.
On the RAGBRAI Mason City website, concerts by Don Felder and Sugar Ray are promoted. Entertainment by 13 on Seven, Brad Morgan and Danny Grause is also listed. And there’s also entertainment at the beverage garden, but nothing is listed for a drag show.
The Iowa Standard reached out to the Mason City Administrator, a person called Aaron Burnett. We asked if the drag show in Mason City during RAGBRAI was an official event put on by the city or something else as information about the event online is scarce.
Here was Burnett’s response:
“The city of Mason City was proud to be a sponsor and support the very successful RAGBRAI Mason City overnight which hosted approximately 20,000 riders and support personnel from across the world. The city was a key sponsor and the overnight was a collaboration of many entities including hundreds of volunteers, the city of Mason City, Visit Mason City and Main Street Mason City. The goal of RAGBRAI Mason City was to provide a unique experience that welcomed all of RAGBRAI to our community and offered something for everyone to connect with during the night.
“The show closed out the night and brought people into the Plaza area, and away from the Main Stage area, to allow for teardown and cleanup after Sugar Ray’s performance.”
We asked Burnett if minors were allowed to attend the drag show. We have not received a response, but will provide an update when we hear from Burnett.’https://theiowastandard.com/38226-2/
When school boards promote filth what may one then expect from the students? Garbage in; Garbage out!
‘Waukee Northwest High School has another book containing sexually explicit messaging. The district previously decided to pull “Gender Queer” from the school library due to its vulgar content, which Google calls adult sexual content and Facebook says violates its community standards for sexual activity.
‘In an interesting turn of events, United States Sen. Chuck Grassley said it would be “unconstitutional” to restrict travel for abortions after last year saying if the federal government required COVID vaccinations to travel by plane or train, then the unvaccinated would have to find another way to travel.
Here is what Sen. Grassley said last year about vaccination or testing requirements to fly.
“Well, I don’t know if that will keep people from traveling or not. I suppose if that was a requirement and you wanted to travel by airplane or I suppose it could apply to trains as well, you might not be able to travel the way you’d want to travel. You’d have to find other ways of traveling, which obviously may be by car. But I don’t see the federal government forcing people to get vaccinated.”
On Wednesday, Grassley told The Des Moines Register “we cannot stop people from traveling anyplace they want to. It’s a constitutional issue and a freedom.”

‘He never desired to be an educator, this remarkable man whose distinguished academic career spanned 68 years and eight decades. And yet, as Dr. David R. Boylan turns 100 on Friday, July 22, 2022, he is still teaching to anyone who will lend a listening ear. And he is still brilliant.
“I never expected, intended, or even thought about being in education,” said Dr. Boylan in a recent interview with Faith Baptist Bible College. “I was an engineer. I had no idea I was going into teaching.”
Boylan excelled in his career, both in research and in teaching. An oil canvas photo of him as the sixth dean of the College of Engineering at Iowa State University hangs in the conference room of Marston Hall as evidence. Advancements in the fields of fertilizer and agriculture are results of his extensive research and patents. The changed lives of those who sat under his teaching in his college Sunday school class are living testimonies. And Faith Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary in Ankeny, Iowa, has a 100-year legacy of its own whose longevity can be partially credited to the contributions of Dr. Boylan as a former president, faculty, and board member.

Early Years
David Ray Boylan was born in Belleville, Kansas, a city of 2,000 people located 155 miles northwest of Topeka near the Nebraska border. His father, an accomplished man in his own right, was an Air Force major who flew combat missions in World War I. The Boylans moved from Belleville to Kansas City early in David’s life, and he spent the majority of his childhood there.
“My young career, I picked up the idea of building things, mechanical things,” said Boylan. “I remember as a young kid in Belleville, Kansas, (I was a little kid), they dug the ditches for the pipelines by hand. I noticed they were using tree limbs to clean their shovels out, so right then, I made little shovels out of orange crates. That was the only place I could get some wood as a kid. I guess I had a desire to do things and that grew. Even until now, I still like engineering.”
Boylan accepted Christ when he was in his early teens. Both his mother and father were Christians, and he was raised in a Christian home. They attended a Baptist church in Kansas City during most of his teenage years and later attended Central Bible Hall where he sat under the teaching of Walter L. Wilson, who co-founded and was the first president of Kansas City Bible Institute, which later became Kansas City Bible College, and finally merged with Midwest Bible College to form Calvary Bible College. The spiritual nourishment David received while attending Central Bible Hall wasn’t the only positive development that occurred. It was also where he met his eventual wife, Juanita.

Engineering Career
Following graduation from high school, David attended the University of Kansas where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering in 1943. He and Juanita married on March 24, 1944, around the time she also graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Bacteriology. The newlyweds moved to the East Coast where David began his engineering career with the General Chemical Company in Camden, New Jersey. He advanced rapidly in his field, becoming a project engineer at General Chemical, then a Senior Chemical Engineer at American Cyanamid Company. David was successful and happy with his work. He had no intention of changing careers. God had other plans.
“All of a sudden, things began to happen,” said Dr. Boylan. “Some would call it coincidence. When coincidences begin to pile up, it’s no longer coincidence.”
The Boylans had settled into life on the East Coast. Mrs. Boylan was a homemaker with a two-year-old and a new baby. A young married couple with multiple children and a stable income did what most people do at that stage of life: they bought a new washing machine. By the 1940s more than half of American households had electric washing machines. Many of these featured new technology; not all of it was perfected, from an engineering standpoint.
“We bought a new washing machine with a powered wringer,” recalled David. “My wife caught her arm in the wringer. She had a new baby and couldn’t take care of the baby, and a two-year-old she couldn’t help.”
It was right at this same time that David had changed jobs to another company as a plant manager. As fate would have it, the company unexpectedly went out of business. The combination of unfortunate events all at once convinced David that these happenings were no longer just coincidences.
“I didn’t have a job,” said Boylan. “We had a baby. We had a family…but no income. I had no choice but to go home (to Kansas).”
Before they settled back into life in “The Wheat State,” David was approached by a friend who gave some advice that changed the course of the rest of his life.
Moving to Ames, Iowa; Early Years at Iowa State College
“Somebody said, ‘Why don’t you go up to Ames, Iowa, and see if you can get a job?’” recalled Boylan. “I had never been to Iowa. I went to Ames on a weekend and got a job as a graduate assistant at Iowa State College (as it was called in those days) and stayed there 60 years. I started off getting my PhD in engineering, and I taught in engineering. I enjoyed every moment.”
Boylan’s illustrious career at Iowa State began in 1948. The College of Engineering (one of the oldest and largest programs in the nation) was so impressed with his real-world experience that he was named Assistant Professor of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and a graduate assistant in Chemical Engineering. Boylan completed his Doctor of Philosophy from Iowa State College in 1952 (it was renamed Iowa State University on July 4, 1959).
By the time he finished graduate school, Dr. Boylan was promoted to Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering and eventually Professor of Chemical Engineering in 1956. The three years that followed were some of the most pivotal of his career as his reputation in the engineering field soared to new heights due to his research and development in fertilizer processes and technology.
On March 1, 1959, Dr. Boylan was named Associate Director of the Iowa Engineering Experiment Station at Iowa State University, where he oversaw 160 engineers, graduate assistants, and hourly staff. The purpose of the station was to do research and provide engineering solutions for projects that were relevant at that time, which included the digital computer, soil analysis of highway construction, the manufacturing of fertilizer, and the color television.
Spiritual Life; Impact as a College Sunday School Teacher
While Boylan was rising in the ranks of academia during the 1950s, he didn’t let his career take priority in his life. He kept his spiritual life in a condition that would have passed the strictest Rockwell hardness testing—an important trait for one who consistently taught creation in a public university, often facing resistance from colleagues. He never caved under pressure.
As the cards have poured in for Dr. Boylan’s 100th birthday, many have mentioned his commitment to creation science in a public school environment, according to his daughter, Elizabeth McKee.
‘Iowa’s highest court on Friday ruled that the state’s constitution does not include a “fundamental right” to abortion, reversing its own finding from four years ago and reviving a law requiring women to wait 24 hours after an initial appointment before getting an abortion.’https://rumble.com/v18uucc-iowa-top-court-rejects-right-to-abortion.html?mref=6zof&mrefc=2
