Iowa midterm and governors race. I did some estimates with the help of @grok. We are guessing there is $300-350 spent per ballot cast considering all candidates, races and PACs. Nearly $80 million on the governor race alone, @RobSandIA accounting for ~$54 million.

Socialism has been forbidden in the Ten Commandments, confirming that this idea has ancient origins, or it would have never been in that list of prohibitions.
The LEFT has always been atheists, following in the footsteps of Marx. When they go to church, they pray for God to smite the rich and hand them the spoils of this class warfare.

I met a nonbinary bass player this weekend. Very inclusive. No such thing as a wrong note, just misunderstood voicings and harmonies.

This may BECOME a major international incident...
Major explosion(s) heard on a Canadian Forces Military Base Wainwright in Alberta Canada.
This is a military base I am VERY familiar and have attended joint American and Canadian military training exercises with and have deployed to previously.
This occurred on the SAME week that the province of Alberta is supposed to hold a referendum on its independence and its future with Canada.
This is a referendum encouraged, and funded by the American Embassy in Ottawa, Canada which is supported by the US government and endorsed and encouraged by Trump.
Given the number of causalities at the base, it has been classified as a MAJOR incident and I have not seen anything like this in the past 40 years on the base or in the Canadian Military.
Based on my contacts on the ground, the explosions may have been caused by explosives from a drone which lead to fatalities, injuries and a massive fire...
The Department Of National Defence in Canada was unable to deal with the causalities at the military hospital they had to evacuate the number of the causalities to civilian hospitals.
This is an interesting development...
More to come.
Signal, not noise!

My brother and I are researching this disaster.
Here's some notes from our reseaech:
1. Canadian parliament member is reporting a media blackout (grrr)
2. Approx ~5 aircraft appear to be associated with this event.
3. Current reported fire zone is ~2.5mi SE from Wainwright explosives storage. NASA FIRMS shows historical hotspots between current reported burn and explosives storage
4. Local resident reports seeing potentially up to ~150 casualties
5. Wainwright hospital is overwhelmed. Hospital is small, only ~25 beds.
6. Local school is currently being used as a triage center per local civilian
7. Photo evidence of ~5 civilian ambulances, at least 1 ISV, and other military vehicles being used to transport casualties
8. Local trucker reports support convoy heading to Wainwright ~1.5hr ago
Notably:
Edmonton hospitals (all of them) are currently operating between 97-105% capacity prior to incident, meaning the volume of casualties to overwhelm is relatively low (they have total approx 2500 beds). Wainwright would be overwhelmed by ~20+ casualties.
This appears to be an ammunition explosion during a training exercise resulting in a large, rapidly spreading fire that is current burning in a southeastern direction, with multiple agencies responding. There appear to be 100-200 total casualties with limited triage support available, exacerbating the emergency.
Hospitals across Alberta, Canada are reportedly being overwhelmed by the number of injured from the ongoing major fire at CFB Wainwright, the cause and extent of which is still unknown, with details being kept very quiet by the Canadian Ministry of National Defense. Some sources place the number of dead in the dozens with hundreds of injuries, though nothing has been verified by officials in Canada.

Friendly reminder that the most ISIS recruits in the entire country during the height of the caliphate came from this cluster of buildings in Minneapolis.
If you have males in you life under 20 that you need gift ideas for, I suggest a decent digital multimeter. Checking batteries, electronics, building, repairing and use for years to come. This is the one I keep in my vehicle, $30 to $35. lowes.com/pd/Klein-Tools-Dig…
