Arizona’s Banana Republic Voting System
It’s truly insane what’s going on in Arizona in November Two Thousand and Twenty Two!
Update (by Kate)
Colorado BREAKING: Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has taken the lead in Colorado’s 3rd, by a few hundred votes. 98% reporting. Tolerant left hardest hit.
CNN Unhinged: Ron DeSantis won big in Florida because “he gamed the system.”
An Explanation for the Vaccine For Children madness?
Given that children have statistically 0.00% chance of dying from Covid, it appears to make zero sense why there is such a huge push by the usual suspects for children to have mandatory Covid vaccines. Until now.
According to Dr. Drew Pinsky, on a recent podcast, if the Covid vaccines get added to the mandatory vaccination regimen, then the pharmaceutical companies will escape all liability from lawsuits.
I can’t find a second source for this. The only thing I’ve found so far is this Standards of Responsibility law.
Definitely tapping into the collective research capabilities of SDA readers. If you find something related, please share.
The Romans Would Be Outraged
The progressive elites that control America and Canada, encourage mental illness. Why, we even have a prime minister who attends Drag Shows.
It’s Thursday On Turtle Island
Trudeau’s Canada: CBC is outraged that a Christian college is Christian. Winnipeg gets another white elephant building. Apparently indigenous protests are unique. I guess partying in Asia is more important than Remembrance Day. Climate Justin burns jet fuel to Cambodia.
Woke Britain: Leftists are never violent. The eco-terrorists are still busy.
China Virus News: Covid amnesty. The sheep are ok with the return of mask mandates. And Covid fascism.
Today In Islam: Death cult protests in Mali. Muslim outreach to gays.
Global Warming Scam News: COP27 still pushing climate change reparations. A climate meme for Canadians.
Biden’s America: Victor Davis Hanson on the midterm election. Your morning meme.
Awkward
Former NDP MLA pleads guilty to breaching Alberta’s Health Information Act:
Between Sept. 19 and 23, Dang’s computer program made 1.78 million queries using Kenney’s personal information. Dang admitted to RCMP the queries were randomly generated guesses aimed at revealing the premier’s health care number.
Court documents also refer to Dang’s attempts as a “brute force attack.”
After uncovering a woman’s healthcare number, Dang informed NDP chief of staff Jeremy Nolais and NDP director of communications Benjamin Alldritt of his findings, court documents show.
One month after informing Alldritt of his actions, the NDP promoted Dang to the party’s Democracy and Ethics critic role.
Emphasis mine.

WTFTX?
As my grasp of crypto could perform the Nutcracker on the head of a pin, I reached out to old friend Melinda Romanoff for a summary (via email).
This all started months ago, when Coinbase changed its Terms of Service to declare that all customer funds would no longer be considered “segregated” but as “general unsecured creditors” in the event of bankruptcy. This revelation exposed two things, that management was pooling customer monies and probably were borrowing against them to boot, so as to maintain their “Exchange”.
FTX was being run in a similar matter, it seems, just that the CEO went from billionaire Heavy Democrat donor to owing $650 million in just under 48 hours. Investors wiped out, BlackRock and the Ontario Teachers Pension being 1 & 2 in the second seed funding. This is OTP’s 3rd hit of similar size in as many months, I believe.
Bottom line? Crypto markets can use UNLIMITED Leverage in their trading schemes. There is no regulatory body in place, yet. Just this week, SCOTUS ruled that ANY crypto trading in the US or territories is considered a “security”. An earlier ruling declared it a “commodity”, a more specific security subset, and is regulated by the CFTC, who is super strict on credit creation (excess leverage) in that space.
Needless to say, “Contagion“ will be the next “Word Of The Day”, as any minority leveraged investors try to get out of the way of the collapse of the the maximally leveraged. Like everyone trying to hit the door at the same time when the police come by for a raid. It doesn’t work except one at a time, if that.
Still digging for a succinct encapsulation, but it’s an old fashioned bank run all the same.
So all the usual suspects dragged the fan bois and wannabes into a blind alley and they all got pantsed?
This interview epitomizes @CNBC obsession with #crypto pumpers. Watch @Kr00ney gushing all over @SBF_FTX like a school girl with a crush. Just imagine CNBC doing an interview like this with Bernie Madoff less than two months before his Ponzi Scheme blew up.https://t.co/O9KzbwSqvI

This is a strange development for a nation supposedly fighting for freedom. Seizing private property on a vast scale without compensation sounds a lot like something Robert Mugabe would do. The current owners may have to wait a long time for payment, considering that the purchaser is bankrupt.
Ukraine government authorities vowed in the Monday statement that “After martial law is lifted, these assets may be returned to their owners or their value may be reimbursed.” And further, “These enterprises must operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the needs of the state’s defense.”
“In connection with military necessity, a decision was made to expropriate the assets of strategically important enterprises into state ownership,” the Secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, explained further in a joint presser.

Arizona
As day of voting ballots are counted, momentum seems to be shifting to favour the Republicans, according to Charlie Kirk.
Masters!
So there is now a MINIMUM CONFIRMED
600,000 outstanding ballots. I think there are at least 650,000 maybe more
If it's 650,000 and Blake wins 58%, he wins by 14,000.

Another high profile race largely given up last night, Lauren Boebert is now at a dead heat with her Democratic opponent in Colorado.
He Doesn’t Think Much About Monetary Policy
If the US is anything to go by, he’s cruising to re-election:
According to Statistics Canada, consumer bankruptcies have surged 22.5% year-over-year.
The Q3 increase in consumer insolvencies was the largest percentage increase since 2009, when Canadians were being hit by the global financial crisis.

Four times a week on average, an e-bike or e-scooter battery catches fire in New York City.
These bikes when they fail, they fail like a blowtorch,” said Dan Flynn, the chief fire marshal at the New York Fire Department. “We’ve seen incidents where people have described them as explosive — incidents where they actually have so much power, they’re actually blowing walls down in between rooms and apartments.”
As of Friday, the FDNY investigated 174 battery fires, putting 2022 on track to double the number of fires that occurred last year (104) and quadruple the number from 2020 (44). So far this year, six people have died in e-bike-related fires and 93 people were injured, up from four deaths and 79 injuries last year.

NDP take on Sask First Act
Is it window dressing? Is it constitutional? Aleana Young wants to know.
At 12:30 a.m. this morning, Alberta got just 3 megawatts out of its 3,076 megawatts of wind. Again
Again and again and again, Alberta’s wind power totally collapses to effectively zero. It got really low at supper on Tuesday, dropping to around 15 megawatts, which is pretty much nothing since their nameplate capacity has grown, again, now to 3,076 megawatts.
But by 12:30 a.m., it dropped to just 3 megawatts. That’s out of hundreds of turbines costing many billions of dollars.
Oh, and you have to look at how much the $100 million or so worth of batteries have contributed in the last month. Take a guess.
But hey, Microsoft just signed on to buy a whole schwack of wind power. Does your Azure server rely on Alberta wind?
Wednesday On Turtle Island
Trudeau’s Canada: He admires their basic dictatorship. The most famous transgender activist in Canada. Today Trudeau gets his fourth or fifth jab. Then he discusses how Canada can get involved in the Haitian hellhole. Right wing Christians running rampant in Canada. 54% of Canadians think Trudeau is doing a wonderful job.
Woke Britain: Math is racist.
Global Warming Scam News: It has always been about wealth redistribution. UN tells rich countries to pay. A treaty against fossil fuels? Climate Barbie at COP27.
Islamic Caliphate Of Australia: A Muslim dad is upset.
Biden’s America: My take on the election. The election turned out exactly how I thought it would. And not for the reasons the pundits are ranting about right now. People in North America have been seduced by socialism and the allure of free stuff. Canada is no different from the States. That is why we have a Liberal/NDP coalition in this country. Other factors include a media cartel controlled by leftists and an educational system designed to pump out loyal little comrades. And of course the billions in dark money. However the main reason continues to be the voters. Until voters wake up and realize that the U.S. and Canada are on a steady decline, nothing will change. Things are only going to get worse, as they starve and freeze in the dark.

@ScottAdamsSays – What’s more dangerous than having election results that don’t match polls?
Races across the country are much closer than expected. Many have yet to be called. Chances are that the House will flip to Republicans, and Senate control will depend on the outcome of Adam Laxalt’s race in Nevada and a probable December runoff between Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker in Georgia. It may be a month before we know for sure, but Joe Biden can still become the fifth straight president to lose Congress in a midterm election.
A smart take from John Hayward on “the strangest election I’ve ever seen.”
What’s the point of talking about “momentum,” late-breaking events, or even how candidates perform at debates when a huge chunk of the vote is banked by mail before the debates even happen? Robotic party-line voters and harvesting matter more than campaign skill.
