When I began researching Tom found stories of an arrest, and several nefarious activities by this 71 year old former Iowa governor who had also served in the Obama administration from 2009-20017.

After reading several accounts of this May 2022 incident, I recall this past week signing on to the internet only to find King Charles III had died after 46 days on the throne. While I respect what Charles has done for his charities, am not a fan, however read on. The accounts intrigued as it was reported he died in his sleep, peacefully. I signed off and returned 10 minutes later. Decided to check on the King’s funereal arrangements and low and behold there he was alive and kicking in full regalia at a British event. While no retraction was made know someone took a fall on that.

I digress.. and for the record Tom was not arrested.
