The “Roast and Ride” kicks off a busy summer campaign season heading into the state's first-in-the-nation caucuses early next year.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Amid plates of sliced pork, statement-making leather ensembles and piles of political T-shirts, eight Republican presidential hopefuls descended on Iowa to pitch themselves to voters and, in Mike Pence's case, hop on a motorcycle.
The former vice president and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis were among the White House contenders appearing at a rally at the state fairgrounds near Des Moines hosted by U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst. Her annual political event, the “Roast and Ride” — a combination barbecue-rally and motorcycle ride — kicks off a busy summer campaign season heading into the state's first-in-the-nation caucuses early next year.
Former President Donald Trump, the leading GOP presidential candidate, was notably absent after spending two days in the state this past week. He has largely avoided any events that have him sharing the stage with his 2024 rivals.

‘See! We elites are just like you common folks. Where can I get me a huntin’ license?’
{whispering to handler} ‘When can we get out of here and get back to civilization? I feel like I need a shower.’
Thanks.
Yes. I was thinking John Kerry and his crisp, new, ill-fitting hunting outfit. (His handlers probably left on the tags and after the photo op returned the gear to "No Dicks" Sporting Goods.)
That’s about the size of it.
Pence looked like a little boy in a Halloween costume.
I’m not fond of the entire political spectrum. I’m am one of those who believe that this Nation has already devolved into a tyranny of the Oligarchs. Voting will never again make any difference.
Where was Trump, in his basement?
I smell a chicken. An old one.
According to your logic, I should also be outraged at the inclusion of maps, illustrations, family pages, and concordances. Those aren’t Scripture either.
Lol! Okay, okay….RINOpaLOSER!!
How’s that? :-)
How low and far you have fallen, Golden Eagle.
What part of ….
We are proud to introduce the We The People Bible. This King James bible is ideal for the patriots who believe it is time to give America back to God, and features copies of America’s founding documents.…
Is offensive to you? From their website/your link…
What is Different About the We The People Bible?
Our Bibles include copies of the United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Also from the website….
Donald Trump Jr.
Executive Vice President
The Trump Organization
“Faith is being targeted and our country’s founding beliefs are being targeted.
The “We the People Bible” is restoring what there is an attempt to remove.
Preservation of Faith, preservation of America.”
- Donald Trump Jr
I own a Founders Bible. I purchased it nearly two decades ago, because it, too, has a copy of our Constitution, Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights, as well as the Holy Bible and illustrations of our nation’s history.
Is this, also, against your principles??
Is Lee Greenwood’s Bible offensive to you, too??
And, please show us proof that the Trump Org is selling this Bible.
As I posted, above, Don Jr is listed as a supporter.
Your time spent TRYING to dig up “dirt”, on Pres Trump, could be MUCH better spent.
Spot on. See #29.
documents that are not scripture....
Copies of our founding documents. Oh my, Trump has alot of nerve.
“Our Bibles include copies of the United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and the Pledge of Allegiance.”

🙄
That’s probably your upper lip.
or Kerry in his spacesuit.
Ha! Sounds like a real RINO-PALOOSA......
It was a convention of the “also rans”. Cant see how this clown show could influence voting one way or another. And if it does, maybe the people of Iowa sholdn’t be allowed to vote.
You know I will here alot for that last line. Cant wait!
If it doesn’t purport to say that they are actually part of scripture, I don’t have a problem with it.
Mr Morality stamps his feet in a fit of moral outrage. Of course nothing in the Bible was 'modified' and no one is forcing you to buy one.
Our Bibles include copies of the United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
You have to be the most pathetic poseur on the internet. Most of US hold those included docs in high esteem, reverent even. Some have said (Our Founders included) they were documents inspired by God, only the Pledge can be arguable.
You're a weak sister standing in a puddle of weak sauce of your own stewing juices.
I doubt it. Trump is already indicating he’s not going to debate anyone, on his website and in interviews. “Why should I” he responded to a reporter last week who asked if he was going to participate in the debates or not. What’s he afraid of?
So he looks like he’s chicken. And he sure didn’t look like a “spring chicken” that day either.

It’s a fundraiser and photo op.
JONI’S ROAST AND RIDE, a joint fundraising committee established on behalf of Jobs, Opportunity & New Ideas PAC, Republican Party of Iowa, NRSC, Joni for Iowa, and Freedom Foundation (veterans aid).
Fundraisers generally preach to the choir.
Trump has already earned everyone’s vote. 😏
Of course. But placing them inside a book cover that says "Holy Bible" on it is completely inappropriate. Especially to make money.
