Congressman Congressman Rich McCormick, MBA MD says data center approval goes from 21% to 52% in one minute of explanation, and that the protest movement deserves an investigation: "You're seeing communities that have maybe 200 people in them having 247 people show up to protest this data center, more...

@RepMcCormick 21% to 52% in one minute. Wild concept, I know. I've watched the same playbook on crypto panics: explain closed loop systems and school funding and the 'grassroots' outrage evaporates. Almost like it was manufactured.

@RepMcCormick 21% to 52% in one minute tells you the water argument was doing the heavy lifting. Abu Dhabi approves data centres in 12 to 18 months with Barakah nuclear behind them. Permitting is the whole game.

@RepMcCormick The one minute explanation is the part that feels too clean.

@RepMcCormick Data centers claiming 'net zero' are mostly using accounting tricks — buying renewable certificates while still pulling dirty grid power and guzzling billions of gallons of water for cooling. Real impact's way bigger than the green PR suggests. Paper zeros aren't actual zeros

James Fishback says Byron Donalds is LYING about data centers! Says this has nothing to do with China and it’s all about GREED. “There are 4,200 data centers in the United States. There are 470 in China. We've already won the AI war. My grandfather was a computer science major at Florida Atlantic University about 30 minutes south of here in Boca. And he would tell you that in the 1970s and 80s, computers were the size of Costco warehouses and now those same computers fit in our pocket. Why are we building an AI data center that in five years is going to be obsolete, is going to be one one hundredth of the size. And so I fear it's because a lot of the big land developers want to buy up cheap land, flip it for the next AI data center. So it's a greedy thing. It's a greed thing. And I don't want that to happen in our state because you know what? If you buy something and you screw up, you can return it. You could sell it. If you pave over citrus groves or the Everglades or a wetlands to build the data center, you cannot easily undo that. And so I don't want our farmers, I don't want our rural towns to be run roughshod over. My opponent, Byron Donalds, will say, well, what about the AI data center? Don't they have property rights? And I would say to him, what about the property rights of the people who live a hundred feet from the data center? Where there is EMF, where there is audible noise pollution, where there is the potential even for small radioactive waves? What happens in that case? Do they not have property rights? They don't have to live next to something like that.”

Hunt: So, who’s right on data centers? President Trump or Governor Shapiro? Fetterman: Oh, the president is actually right overall. I mean, you know, uh, we we used to be moving forward on data centers and now, I mean, he's actually scared by the polls. So I mean, what really what's really motivated by more than just the polls overall, you know, I set out I set up my message on it on data centers just a couple days on X where I'm saying it's, you know, the president happens to be right in this. You know, I think it's it's very necessary that we win the war on AI. Uh, we, I think it's necessary because AI is going to transform our world. And, you know, it can be either us be the leaders or it can be the Chinese. And we could we could live under those rules and they're going to build unlimited data centers. And they're not really, uh, really stopped by with the kind of like democracy and the kinds of rules that, that we have overall, I think it's important. And I would remind people, like a lot of the opposition is, is been driven by the ccp and a lot of a lot of influence. So I think now withwith data centers, uh, also there's the facts now that it, it consumes a very, very, maybe one tenth of 1%, you know, compared to almonds and compared to other other things, part of our economy and also our land usage as well, too. Pennsylvania, you know, we are energy rich, we are water rich. And we have we're land rich now. So I think it's an important part of our economy, not just for Pennsylvania's but also the country right now.

All over the country, I get people who say to me, "You know what I was at a dinner and there were 10 or 12 people. Two of them were Jews. And somebody said, 'oh, it's genocide, it's apartheid,' whatever it is. And the Jews, they stayed silent. So we all just went home and assumed that it was true." It's not nice to say, many of us have been in that situation. That is how they feel whether you like it or not. So I know that it's awkward to say something back to a person at dinner. I know that it's hard to make the dinner difficult. Maybe even lose a friend. But let me tell you, it'll be much more awkward for you 20 or 30 years from now, if not 20% or 30% of people, but 100% of your fellow Americans believe that you and your children and grandchildren are genocidal monsters. It'll be much more awkward then. So, It's time to wake up and nip this thing in the bud. We are the Jewish people. We gave the world not just Jesus and monotheism and the Bible — a system of political democracy. We're the first people to say, you don't need a God to be your King. You don't need to have a Queen who's divine. Every single one of you has a light within yourself to be equal under the law for our God. All political democracy stems from that. Remember who we are, be proud of where you come from. And be optimistic that just as for thousands of years, there have been cataclysmic problems brought on by much bigger and more powerful empires than a few people with purple hair on the Upper West Side, and they are all gone now. But we are still here. Know that. Internalize that. And put that into your conversations.

Data Centers are coaching their workers on how to lie to the public and their family about how Data Center water usage is actually a good thing “I work at an architecture firm that mainly does data centers, and just to give you all an idea of how out of touch the people making these things are. Today we had a meeting where we were essentially asked to defend the water usage of data centers to our friends and family in conversation at the dinner table or online. They provided them with a graph to break down water usage (included) but I’ll go over it The chart compares “domestic water usage” (toilets, sinks, etc.) for a typical-sized closed-loop data center of 600,000 gallons per year against other things of “equivalent square footage”: Cornfield: 5.85 million gallons Vineyard: 5.60 million Golf course: 5.45 million Peanut farm: 2.88 million Movie theater: 935,000 5 households: 730,000 They make the point that “Data centers aren’t the big water users you think” But that’s not really true “It's still using an incredible amount of water — and the key piece of evidence here was when someone gets pissed at a data center's water usage, ask them if they like golf. And when they say yes, let them know that a golf course uses 9 times as much water much water as a data center. That'll shut them up, because no one disapproves of golf courses using an exorbitant amount of water…” Not to mention, this is incredibly misleading The 600,000 gallons is mostly just building operations of things like sinks and bathrooms. It downplays or completely excludes the main water use, which is cooling the servers More fake propaganda

There is a major concern about Data Centers that are using closed loop cooling systems that’s not being talked about There are a lot of chemicals being put into the water used in these systems. That water has to be flushed out every couple years Whistleblowers say that chemical water is being pushed into our streams and waterways and may have extremely limited cleaning requirements depending on state “I'm getting whistleblowers on the inside saying that they're taking all that waste and they're just running it down into the sewers. They're wanting to go to more closed cooling systems, and in those closed cooling systems, you still are gonna be using chemicals. There's no regulations about every 2 years when you have to clean out a cooling closed system, where are you gonna throw all of those chemicals?” “Taking polluted water and running it through system and dumping it into a river and it flows downstream, that will have a natural dilution, would resolve the issue, and it's not. Even if it's a closed cooling system, that water that's recycling in there, eventually they have to clean those systems. They have to release that water. And are there any regulations to look at what chemicals aren't in that water before we release it into the environment and just create another pollution issue?” “Right now it's a free-for-all out there.” It’s not a complete free for all, it depends on the states and general federal regulations. Discharges from cleaning, blowdown or maintenance are subject to environmental rules There should be compliance reporting but whistleblowers are saying none of this is being followed, they’re saying it’s a “free for all” and the data centers are just planning on the chemicals being diluted as they flow down our waterways We need investigations

Philadelphia Officer Says The City Is No Longer Putting Up With The Crime Wave “The mayor, the commissioner and the governor said we gonna do something about the theft. They passed new legislation that they're going after people” “That's not gonna happen anymore. Not the city of Philadelphia. You're gonna get prosecuted, and it's gonna be a felony. It ain't gonna be on misdemeanor.” Interviewer “Can you say something to the youth, please, about all this morning?” Officer “Well, all I have to say to the youth is put down the gun because if you come here with a gun, the chances are you're not gonna make it home. I hate to say it like that, but we have to keep it real. This is killing us. I've never seen it like this before where young people shoot up a bus depot station, 40 rounds, and shoot innocent people. Something must be done. I say this to the parents. Go in your children's room, tear it apart and find that gun. Because when they kill somebody, that's on you. You can't say, well, my child ain't you know what your children are doing. It is your job. That's your house. You own it. You are the commander in that chief in that house. Go to your children's house your room and look for these weapons. Stop it before it's too late. Either you're burying your child or you're going up to prison every month, visiting your child. It takes a community to stop this. It's not just on the police department. That's why we are out there. But it's not all about locking people up. You have to educate these people. You have to educate these young people. Guns is not the way. But there's a group of them that believe in robbing and stealing and killing. And those are the ones we have to capture and put away.“
