(Radio Iowa) – Former Vice President Mike Pence says Republicans have a winning message and he’s urging Christian conservatives to “buckle up” for the 2024 presidential campaign. Pence was the closing speaker at a day-long summit in Des Moines sponsored by The Family Leader and he listed his own frustrations with the political scene. “We’ve been through a lot in the last year: a global pandemic, civil unrest, a divisive election, a tragic day in our nation’s capitol and now a new admin intent on transforming American into a European style secular welfare state,” Pence said.
Pence ran through a litany of complaints about the first 177 days of the Biden-Harris Administration. “The damage they’ve done in such a short period of time,” Pence said. “We know what our job is.”
About 1200 people gathered in a Des Moines convention hall Friday morning to listen to more than a dozen speakers, including South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — two other potential 2024 presidential candidates. The crowd stayed for Pence as the closer seven hours later and applauded throughout his speech, but without the whistling and loud bursts of cheering others received. Pence acknowledged this was an easy time to get a little down and appeared to indirectly address those in the G-O-P who believe he should not have certified Joe Biden won the Electoral College on January 6. “We ought to keep the faith in the founders of this country, in the timeless wisdom of the Declaration and the Constitution,” Pence said. “We need to be the movement that keeps our oath, even when it hurts.”
Noem, who spoke earlier in the afternoon, shared pieces of her biography with the crowd — growing up on a farm and the name of her new granddaughter. “I hate this America that we’re giving her. I don’t recognize this country that we had the opportunity to grow up in. I just don’t,” Noem said. “When I grew up, people were proud to have a job. They weren’t confused on the difference between boys and girls…We honored our flag and we were a country that was proud of our history and that is not Joe Biden’s America.”
Noem acknowledged the first time many Iowans heard her name was as she was criticized for not closing any businesses or implementing lock downs during the pandemic. “But I do want you to know that my people are happy,” Noem said, “and they’re happy because they’re free.” As she has elsewhere, Noem emphasized that she did not close a single business.in South Dakota. “I was shocked by how the media and liberals used fear to control people and how people gave up their freedoms,” Noem said. “They just rolled over.”
Iowa Democratic Party chairman Ross Wilburn denounced what he called the “hateful agenda” of The Family Leader, which organized Friday’s event. Wilburn says it was shameful for Governor Kim Reynolds and other Republicans who approved at the event to support an organization that discriminates against L-G-B-T-Q-plus Iowans.”

Winterset ace pitcher Justin Hackett struck out 12 of 16 he faced on Friday night and led the Huskies to a 10-0 win over Atlantic in 5 innings of play. The Huskies took command of the Substate 8 District 16 contest in the 2nd inning, erupting for six runs on six hits in the frame. That was more than enough for the TCU commit Hackett to seal a win. Hackett only gave up one hit, a Garrett Reynolds single up the middle in the third. The Huskies added 1 in the 4th and then ended the game early with 3 more in the fifth. Jensen Kalgenberg was able to squeeze in an infield hit to allow Hunter Devine to come home and invoke the 10-run rule.
Lane Nelson took the loss for Atlantic, credited with 9 runs on 9 hits with 3 strikeouts. Dayton Templeton came in to pitch the fifth and gave up the final run on two hits with 1 strikeout and a walk. Atlantic ends their season just below .500 at 12-13.
Winterset improved to 16-10 on the season and they will host Denison-Schleswig in the District Final on Monday night at 7:00 p.m.

(Radio Iowa) – The family of a U-S Marine from central Iowa will be the beneficiaries of a charity golf tournament this weekend. The event is scheduled for Saturday at the Briggs Woods Golf Course south of Webster City. Dennis Schnathorst, with the Hamilton County Peace Officers Association, says every year, the tourney honors the memory of a fallen police officer, firefighter or veteran.
“Staff Sergeant Kelling passed away on July 25th of 2019,” Schnathorst says. “Staff Sergeant Kelling served our country on seven deployments overseas, including Afghanistan and Iraq and as a combat war veteran.” Kelling was from Ankeny and was 41 when he suffered a fatal heart attack. He leaves behind a wife and several children, who will be recognized at the benefit.
“This year’s recipient is Amber Kelling and her four sons, Braeden, Caleb, Jace, and Liam, ages 12 to six,” he says. Following the day of golf, there will be an auction and dinner, with all proceeds to benefit the Marine’s family. Learn more on the organization’s Facebook page.
