This should say a lot about this year’s elections. If this is the best a pac has for an attack ad, I think Sand has a good chance.
Watch via the link, feel free to discuss below.
Dubuque county farmers that own approximately 425 acres south of Dubuque have been approached and agreed to selling their land for a data center. This land in question is along Old Davenport Rd. between Feeney Rd. and Laudeville Rd. We need to stop this from happening to protect our community and farmland. Please support our neighbors in Dubuque and sign this petition plus attend the county zoning meeting TONIGHT 6 PM. Tell officials NO to data centers in our backyard!

I feel like this person was failed and getting 20y is crazy high she was a victim and they are not treating her like a victim at least imo.
After The Gazette asked Gov. Reynolds whether Iowans would eventually get more information about the IPERS investigation, her answer was: “No, no.”
That matters because the public discussion has mostly been framed as a personnel matter: who left, who resigned, who was removed, and who will lead IPERS next.
But that is not the same thing as answering whether Iowa reviewed the separate investment-governance allegations already pending in court.
To be clear: this is not a claim that IPERS benefits are at risk. The solvency question is not the issue here.
The issue is whether anyone independently reviewed allegations involving investment-risk reporting, benchmarking, management-fee disclosure, and bonus-related information raised in the Wiggins court filing — or whether the public is simply being told that personnel changes closed the matter.
A personnel explanation may account for who left. It does not answer what was reviewed.
I wrote this follow-up because that distinction matters for public employees, retirees, lawmakers, and taxpayers:
A Resignation Is Not an Audit: Why Iowa Still Owes its Public Employees Answers
Have friend who had storm damage in April. I can only suggest who NOT to use because our roofers we have used twice were terrible. Near Des Moines.
If you have suggestions or info on who to avoid please post. Prefer a local or Iowa based entity, but an honest, competent contractor is most important. (I know, difficult to find)
Thanks in advance.
Here's my bio, sorry it's in the third person: Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.
Used turbo tax. Got my federal refund in 2 weeks. Still waiting on my state. Says it’s been accepted (on April 20), but says it’s still processing.
Anyone else? Or any information you can give me?
TIA!
Drey’s diagnosis comes amid national attention on Iowa’s cancer crisis, which experts believe could be tied to a “toxic mix” of environmental and health risk factors.
The phone in question is a [Droid 4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid\_4?wprov=sfla1), and the problem is that the screen turns off when the keyboard is pulled out.
I want to get it working again (even if it can't be used as a phone) so I can use it for on the go writing. A digital keyboard is a pain to use from the backseat of a moving vehicle on roads that I swear are bumpy on purpose. I want the physical keyboard back.
Good timing just as farm bankruptcies climb.

A coupla three weeks ago I posted asking if the new tint law was actually signed or not, and it looks like on Friday Kimmy just got around to writing her name down on it in sharpie.
There was some confusion in the last post so I'd like to clarify what this new law means.
This doesn't start until July 1st.
The front side windows can now be as low as 50% Visible Light Transmission (VLT). Front windshields cannot have any tint applied except for a sun strip at the top down the AS1 line on the windshield. Rear windows can still have any level of tint.
50% VLT is pretty subtle, so this means that most of the dark tint you see on cars around Iowa are still breaking the law.
This also means you cannot install 50% VLT window film on your modern car. Modern cars all come with factory tint in the 70%-80% on the front glass (With VLT the higher the number, the LESS tinted). If you add a 50% film to a 70% VLT window this will result in roughly 40% VLT.
To get close to 50% VLT with factory tint you can apply roughly 55%-60% VLT film. There are calculators online that can help you calculate this.
What remains to be seen is how much leeway cops will give you when they measure your tint in a traffic stop. I imagine there will be a de facto buffer of 5%-ish but that's pure speculation and will depend on the ego and mood of the cop.
