Fort Meade, Florida resident says hundreds showed up to their meeting to oppose a Data Center The town is already on water restriction, they can’t wash their cars, they can’t water their plants, because of toxic water crisis Their City Commission voted unanimously to approve the data center anyway “On today's episode of Taxation without representation in the small little rural town of Fort Meade, Florida, central Florida, one of the very few small towns we have left in Florida, the city council had a meeting last night. Hundreds of people showed up against the data center that's wanting to be placed in this tiny, small, rural town. Everyone spoke against it. Literally, none of the locals want it — Mind you, the area is already toxic from mosaic and the phosphate mine — everyone is on a water restriction right now. We can't water our grass, we can't wash our cars, but we're gonna put a data center that nobody asks for — Every single one of those city council members need to be recalled right now. It's time to fight back. It's enough. This sh*t has gotten outta hand” They voted yes, unanimously 5-0. The Fort Meade City Commission approved a 20-year development agreement with the developer for a massive hyperscale AI data center project. The vote occurred after a packed meeting with hundreds of residents, standing room only, who overwhelmingly spoke against it during public comment We are not governed, we are ruled

“Big immigration update from the City of Los Angeles. Mayor Karen Bass just signed an executive directive that does 4 things” Here’s the full breakdown - First, every single city of LA department has two weeks to create and implement a preparedness plan that tells city employees what to do, what their rights are, if federal agents come to any city building or facility state. - Second, there's going to be a new working group with lapd, the mayor's office, and immigrants rights organizations, essentially to inform LAPD police officers on, on what to do and what's really happening when they're responding to immigration enforcement calls. - Third, and this is a really big one, the city of LA is filing a Freedom of Information act request with the federal government. And essentially, what it is they're asking the federal government, they're essentially demanding, saying, you need to release every single name of every single person who has been detained here in the city of LA over the past month since these, since these raids all began. They're asking for names, where these people are being held, why they were detained or arrested in the first place. They're also asking for the federal government to release the policy of why so many of these agents have been seen wearing masks, essentially concealing their identity, and why many of them haven't been making their identification clear. They’re either their badge or their ID card oftentimes, the mayor says has been concealed. - The fourth thing, the city is going to work with their departments to better give out information in multiple languages to families who have been impacted by this, to families who have had a loved one taken or detained or deported. “A reminder, this is happening at the same time that the city of LA is suing the Trump administration for the ongoing immigration enforcement that's happening here”

🚨What Are You Doing at the Migrant Shelters, Eric? Here’s the truth , sources state. ⚠️ New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been quietly moving migrants from HERRC (Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers), funded by the city, into Department of Homeless Services (DHS) shelters, which are backed by federal dollars. This shift, confirmed by sources at multiple migrant shelters and hotels, appears to be Adams’ strategy to ease the immense financial burden on New York City as the cost of the migrant crisis soars to $5.6 billion annually. HERRC, operated by Health and Hospitals, is funded by New York City taxpayers, while DHS facilities receive federal funding. By moving migrants into federally funded DHS shelters, Adams is aiming to shift the financial burden away from the city and onto federal programs. For more than a year, Adams and his staff have publicly complained about the overwhelming expenses tied to the migrant influx, repeatedly asking the federal government for help. Having spent time at City Hall, I witnessed firsthand how frustrated Adams and his team became—if Adams had hair, he would have pulled it out from the stress of dealing with this crisis. The rising costs have led to deep budget cuts across the city, impacting key agencies and essential services. New Yorkers are feeling the effects as resources are redirected toward managing the migrant situation, leaving other critical areas underfunded. Now, Adams finds himself at the center of a federal indictment, which he claims is politically motivated. According to the mayor, the indictment is retaliation for his vocal criticism of the federal government's handling of the migrant crisis. Former President Donald Trump has even come out in support of Adams, backing the claim that the federal probe is linked to Adams' outspokenness on the crisis. While Adams' decision to move migrants to federally funded shelters may offer some financial relief, it raises bigger questions: Is this a short-term fix or a way to deflect growing criticism? With figures like Trump weighing in, the spotlight on Adams is only getting brighter, and the pressure to find a long-term solution continues to mount.

VIDEO: Trinidad City Council fires municipal judge who dropped charge against police protestor FOX 4 NEWS ... TRINIDAD, Texas - Trinidad City Council members fired the city's municipal judge after she dismissed charges against a protestor, but the water issues the city has been experiencing were not discussed during Thursday's city council meeting. It was the first time Trinidad's city council had met since two people, Jennifer Combs and Winston Noles, were arrested for speaking about the water issues the city is experiencing. Combs has since filed a lawsuit against the city, as have Alex Estrada and Colby Reyes, two former Trinidad employees who say they were wrongfully terminated in connection to Noles' protest. C.J. Grisham, an attorney representing Combs, spoke directly to Trinidad Police Chief Charles Gregory, telling him: "You have dishonored your badge, this department, and every good officer who wears one." Gregory, who made his first public comments since FOX 4 initially reported on the story, said he has "nothing to hide." "I don’t care anymore. I’ve kept my mouth shut for a long time now. News, are you listening? I want everybody to let me speak," Gregory said. "He made a comment on the news that he wanted the Texas Rangers to come in here and investigate — I welcome them because I have nothing to hide." Gregory was referring to Trinidad Mayor Dennis Haws, who had previously suggested the Texas Rangers investigate the city's issues. During the meeting, the city also voted to fire Municipal Judge Shellena Bivens, who had dropped the charge against Noles last week. "I will reiterate to the whole world watching now. I’ve been a good judge," Bivens said. "A damn good judge, I believe, is what I told y’all last time. I’ve done nothing illegal, immoral, unethical." The water issues at the heart of this story that are still affecting Trinidad residents were not brought up at the meeting. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) confirmed to FOX 4 it received a complaint regarding the water quality in Trinidad, and that an investigation is ongoing. The law firm representing Estrada and Consumer Wellness Center Labs are organizing free independent water testing for people on Trinidad's water supply as the TCEQ investigation continues. The drama at the city council meeting comes after several weeks of arrests and lawsuits stemming from water quality concerns in Trinidad. On May 20, FOX 4 reported that Combs was charged with felony false alarm by the Trinidad Police Department after making an April Facebook post concerning the city's water issues. Her post stated that people had been hospitalized after drinking the city's water. Gregory responded by saying Combs’ post "creates fear, panic, or unnecessary emergency response within a community." A Henderson County grand jury declined to indict Combs, who has since filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Trinidad and Gregory which alleges she was arrested in "an act of deliberate political retaliation." One day after FOX 4's initial report, Noles protested outside Trinidad City Hall with a sign with expletives targeting "bad cops." Noles was arrested and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct for the sign. A municipal judge has since dismissed the charges against Noles. On Wednesday, May 27, two former Trinidad employees filed a lawsuit against the city, claiming the city administrator fired them without cause. Reyes, the former Trinidad Water Clerk, says in the lawsuit that she was fired because she "refused to lie" on behalf of Gregory and City Administrator Cynthia Dosier. Reyes' lawsuit claims Gregory publicly fabricated a story that Reyes was frightened by Noles last week in order to arrest him, in which Reyes says she put in writing she was "never offended" by Noles.

Mayor Zoran Mamdani Says Migrants Will Receive Free Childcare — Benefits They’ve Always Had While some people are losing their minds over Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani Zohran Mamdani saying migrants will get free childcare and insurance, let’s be clear — this has always been the case. Under NYC’s Sanctuary City policies, everyone has access to free insurance and services. Let’s also not ignore the cost: according to multiple city and federal budget sources, the migrant crisis has cost NYC and federal taxpayers over $7 billion per year. According to multiple insiders familiar with the shelter system, large-scale fraud was allegedly committed by individuals holding migrant shelter contracts. At the moment, according to housing and DHS sources, some migrants are receiving free or heavily subsidized apartments, paid for by city and federal tax dollars. Before President Trump took office, the city also began moving migrants into DHS shelters originally used for migrants, then added American homeless families to those same locations. According to shelter and hotel staff sources, several former migrant hotels were simply rebranded as DHS shelters to make it appear these facilities were serving all homeless New Yorkers. According to multiple hotel and shelter staff sources, when certain migrant shelters were “closed,” the migrants were not removed from the system — they were simply relocated to other DHS shelters around the city, effectively playing musical chairs with placements. Sources familiar with DHS operations say this restructuring was done strategically — so if President Trump cut federal funding, it could be framed as harming homeless New Yorkers, not just migrant programs. Because of the massive costs tied to the migrant crisis, according to City Council sources, key NYC agencies were later hit with budget cuts. Some Council members now acknowledge the city had the money and those cuts never should have happened. Below I'll add some of my reporting that touches on this.

Did Mary Sheffield Violate City Ethics in Fling With Suspended Demo Contractor? She and Brian McKinney may have been “just getting to know each other,” but the mayoral candidate voted to award him huge contracts By Charlie LeDuff Charlie LeDuff Detroit — Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield—the leading candidate in next week's mayoral election—carried on an intimate relationship and took at least one trip with a contractor who was awarded tens of millions of dollars from the city since 2017, a Sheffield aide confirms. Sheffield never disclosed the relationship or the trip, nor recused herself from voting on those contracts, the aide confirmed in a written statement. “They were getting to know each other but weren’t in a committed relationship while he had business before City Council,” wrote Brian White, chief of staff for Council President Sheffield. “However, because she had no pecuniary or financial interest in the contracts or matters before Council, she was obligated to vote when present.” That statement flies in the face of city rules and ethical standards, however. The city ethics ordinance clearly states: “A public servant shall not accept gifts, gratuities, honoria, or other things of value from any person or company doing business or seeking to do business with the city.” Then there is Executive Order 2012-1: “Any employee, as defined in this Executive Order, who exercises significant authority over a contract is prohibited from having a personal relationship with the contractor or any person who provides goods or services to the City of Detroit under the contract.” (A city councilperson is defined as an employee under the executive order.) According to the 2019 Board of Ethics annual report, Sheffield asked in early April about disclosure requirements for a personal relationship. The board advised that the public servant “should exercise caution that her/his judgment and action on behalf of the City remain independent, and refrain from sharing any confidential information with any outside entity.” Making the situation more odious, the contractor with whom Sheffield had the relationship is the subject of a sprawling criminal investigation into whether he bilked the city and poisoned the people. Brian McKinney, owner of the Gayanga demolition company, stands accused of using toxic dirt from the old Northland Mall and other sites and dumping it into demolition holes in the city of Detroit. McKinney was suspended last month from further work in the city of Detroit pending a final determination from the Office of the Inspector General. McKinney, whose career in Detroit was nurtured by current Mayor Mike Duggan, received at least $64 million in city contracts since 2017, demolishing nearly 2,500 abandoned houses. According to city council minutes reviewed by Michigan Enjoyer, Sheffield has voted every single year on McKinney contracts. McKinney, who did not respond to requests for comment, has contributed more than $13,000 to various Sheffield campaign funds over the past year, according to the Detroit Free Press. The nature of the relationship between the politician and demolisher came to light by way of an anonymous letter. That letter detailed an April 2019 trip to Miami and a weekend stay at the Four Seasons hotel, where a standard room costs more than $500 a night. “She doesn’t recall the specifics of the trip which took place over six years ago,” wrote Sheffield’s chief of staff. “However, in our opinion, the details of her private life in this instance are inconsequential because she did not have a duty to disclose or recuse herself from any vote based on the City’s Ethics Ordinance and the advice she sought and received.” The ethics ordinance clearly states: “All public servants and contractors must be vigilant in promoting and safeguarding ethical practices in the conduct of government business.” If Sheffield is elected mayor, she will join an inglorious list of predecessors who comingled public funds and private relationships. Kwame Kilpatrick was found guilty of perjury, which led to his resignation in 2008, after he lied under oath about an affair he had with his chief of staff. Mike Duggan was investigated for steering money to his former gal-pal and now wife and then destroying emails documenting the fact. The inspector general found that the Duggan administration had abused its office. Attorney General Dana Nessel declined to file criminal charges, however. Election day in Detroit is Nov. 4th.

#WATCH | Washington, DC, USA | On being asked how Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to India is being viewed within U.S. policy circles, Former Pentagon official Michael Rubin says, "It is being perceived in two different ways. If you're Donald Trump, it's being perceived through the lens of "I told you so" that this embrace of India towards Russia is affirming what Donald Trump wants his spin to be. Because Donald Trump isn't going to admit that he is the one at fault. If you're the 65 % of Americans who dislike Donald Trump, according to the recent polls, then what we are seeing now is the result of Donald Trump's gross incompetence...A lot of us are still flabbergasted at how Donald Trump has reversed US-India ties. Many people question what motivates Donald Trump. Perhaps it was the flattery of the Pakistanis. More likely, it was bribery on the part of the Pakistanis or their backers in Turkey and Qatar towards Donald Trump...This is one disastrous bribe that is going to saddle America with a strategic deficit for decades to come..."

🚨 THE FIGHT FOR TEXAS IS ON - MUST-SEE MILITARY HERO STANDS UP AGAINST THE ISLAMIZATION! "I FOUGHT ISLAM & JIHAD MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE" - HERO LT. COL. LARRY BROCK (RET.) at Frisco City Council Mosque Vote The Frisco City Council just got a gut-punch from a true American hero. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Larry Brock - 29-year combat veteran, A-10 Warthog pilot, reconnaissance pilot, and a man who lived under brutal Sharia in Saudi Arabia for seven years while feeding intelligence to the U.S. government - stood before the Council last night and unloaded: “I have fought Islam and the jihad my entire adult life… Islam believes the world is theirs to rule… We would not have allowed the SS to build a recruiting center… nor should we allow Islam to build the same here in the United States.” He warned the Council they could be violating federal law (18 USC 2339A & 2339B) by giving material support to a terrorist-linked operation and demanded they answer whether any CAIR or Muslim Brotherhood money touched this project. Then the emotional hammer drop: “Are you willing to stand up to this hostile ideology… Will Frisco be remembered as the city that stood up and turned the tide on the Muslim invasion, or will you choose the path of appeasement?” This is the same coordinated Sharia machine I exposed in March - strict Sharia constitution, Mufti Imam issuing fatwas, $2.4 million raised from global Muslim crowdfunding in under five months, and tight alignment with the radical EPIC Mosque! Frisco residents packed the room and refused to back down. They are done watching their city get reshaped. This vote will define Frisco. This is the moment patriots said ENOUGH. God bless Lt. Col. Larry Brock - a real American hero who just reminded every elected official what courage looks like.

Then the emotional hammer drop: “Are you willing to stand up to this hostile ideology… Will Frisco be remembered as the city that stood up and turned the tide on the Muslim invasion, or will you choose the path of appeasement?” This is the same coordinated Sharia machine I exposed in March - strict Sharia constitution, Mufti Imam issuing fatwas, $2.4 million raised from global Muslim crowdfunding in under five months, and tight alignment with the radical EPIC Mosque! Frisco residents packed the room and refused to back down. They are done watching their city get reshaped. This vote will define Frisco. This is the moment patriots said ENOUGH. God bless Lt. Col. Larry Brock - a real American hero who just reminded every elected official what courage looks like.

#WATCH | Washington, DC: On US President Donald Trump's statement regarding tariffs on India, former National Security Advisor of the United States, John Bolton, says, "It shows why Trump doesn't have any strategic sense at all for what's in America's best interest... We need to be working with India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and others against the threat. But Trump is just obsessed with these tariffs and the oil sales. He has added a tariff on India, but not on China, which purchases considerably more Russian oil, or on other countries like Turkey that buy a lot of Russian oil. It caused real trouble in the US-India relations... I wish there were some way we could get him and Modi talking directly again and see if they could find a solution..."

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Kristin McGough, the radical leftist wife of Stanley Woodward, the Trump appointed nominee for Associate Attorney General at the DOJ, testified in 2023 in support of the domestic terrorists in Black Lives Matter, and advocated for the criminal system in DC to be reformed because she said it was akin to “Jim Crow Laws” and she argued our laws are “racist” toward Blacks. In the video, she said, “On June 4, 2020, we painted “Black Lives Matter” on the street in front of the White House to send a message that our city stood with Black lives around the country, and especially here in our city.” McGough took responsibility for painting the large BLACK LIVES MATTER mural in front of the White House in June 2020 during the Summer of Love when Trump was President during his 1st term. Notice her Zoom name in the video says “Kristin McGough she/her”. She willingly chose to use PRONOUNS, which suggests she supports the trans agenda. None of the other Zoom participants used pronouns. Why would we want an Associate Attorney General at the DOJ who is MARRIED to a Marxist lawyer who sued Trump in 2020 on behalf of BLM? Some of President Donald J. Trump’s advisors are deliberately trying to sabotage his agenda by placing a Progressive Democrat in the role of Associate AG at the DOJ, whose wife is a progressive Marxist lawyer in DC. Stanley Woodward’s nomination for Associate AG needs to be killed off by the Senate Republicans. Senate Republicans This is an abomination and a slap in the face to MAGA. I am going to tell President Trump and JD Vance about this. Clearly some of their own staff are trying to sabotage the Trump admin by placing radical leftists inside the DOJ. Donald J.

🚨 WOW! President Trump just invited a White House reporter to tell her story about being ROBBED in DC She thanked him PROFUSELY for making the city safer for her and her family. "Two years ago, on a Saturday morning, in broad daylight, I was on my way to work and a young man with a black ski mask pointed a gun in my face and threatened me too hand over my phone, my wallet, my laptop and everything else. And when I refused, he used the butt of his handgun and struck me across the face, the cheek... or what some people call pistol whipping, before running away. Ever since I have never dared to walk the streets of D.C. At night ever. And my family was extremely worried. So Mr. President, thank you so much for what you are doing." 🇺🇸

NEW: Parts of downtown Seattle and Chinatown-ID are on life support. Drug addicts and criminals have taken over entire street corners. Look at the situation on the ground right now in Little Saigon. It's devastating this Asian American community. That's why today, the Stay Out of Drug Areas (SODA) and Stay Out of Areas of Prostitution (SOAP) ordinances will be in front of the full Council for a final vote. If enforced properly, these could be game changers. Neighbors and business owners hope common sense prevails. And just to be clear, what you are seeing on the streets is NOT an affordable housing issue. This is ALL being fueled by hard-core drug addiction. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. The current plan is not working. Mayor Bruce Harrell Sara Nelson Bob Kettle Tanya Councilmember Rob Saka Councilmember Tammy J.

“Show me what insanity looks like!” “This is what insanity looks like!” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 These insane liberal protesters were in DC on Thursday chanting absurdly against President Trump’s 250-foot “Triumphal Arch” after its designs secured initial approval from a federal arts panel. But it gets even better. The head of the fine arts commission says that President Trump shouldn’t stop at one arch—he should make THREE!!! 😂🤣😂 He said three because that would be consistent with Pierre Charles L’Enfant’s original architectural plans for the city of Washington, modeling it after Paris which has three arches. This is just too hilarious. Whenever leftists protest something Trump does, it signals that he’s on to something great. (GriffJenkins on 𝕏)

Seattle didn’t just elect a mayor — it elected the next blueprint for democratic socialism, giving Katie Wilson 61% of the vote in a city already collapsing under its own policies. She’s Mamdani 2.0, West Coast edition. 👉Her husband doesn’t work, her parents pay $2200 a month for her healthcare and paid her Oxford student loan for dropping out six weeks before graduating. Way to pick a winner Seattle! Her platform says the quiet part out loud: • Massive public-housing expansion paid for by higher taxes on homeowners and businesses • A city-level capital gains tax to replace federal funds cut under Trump • Permanent renter protections that make it nearly impossible to evict violent or destructive tenants • “Non-police” response teams while violent crime is already 20–30% above pre-COVID levels • “Trump-proofing” the city with taxpayer-funded legal shields, immigrant services, and climate-activist spending • Transit expansion bureaucracy in a system that can’t keep riders safe right now This is the exact same playbook we just saw with Mamdani in New York: Punish landlords, reward activist nonprofits, tax the working class, grow bureaucracy, shrink policing, and insist that “capitalism” is the problem as the city decays. Seattle already spends over $1.2 billion a year on homelessness — and tents haven’t gone down one bit. This is how cities die: Promise utopia → attack police → raise taxes → explode bureaucracy → drive out the middle class → blame everyone else. Seattle didn’t elect a reformer. It elected a test pilot for the next wave of democratic socialism — and the rest of the country should pay attention.

It was my pleasure to join Independent candidate Orli Degani canvassing in Dún Laoghaire. Orli, like me, is part of the 20% of Dubliners who are immigrants working in IT, Education, Healthcare and the Food and Service Industry and contributing greatly to Ireland’s economic success. Orli is Jewish (I’m Muslim). We both come from an immigrant, minority backgrounds and have been welcomed in our home of choice - Dublin. Orli and I both share a strong belief in promoting peace and reconciliation, at home and globally. Like me, and like the majority of Irish people, Orli advocates for the Two-State Solution and calls for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. It was surprising therefore that Orli faced discrimination by the @SocDems when she was removed as their candidate simply because of her background. Orli’s misfortune can still be Dublin’s good fortune if you decide to elect her to the Council. Discrimination has no place in Irish society or politics. Once Catholics were the subject of discrimination. Today or tomorrow it may be another class of people. People like Orli and I have been warmly welcomed in Ireland. Some 1-in-5 Dubliners are immigrants who share this positive experience. Join us in saying no to discrimination, promoting diversity, working towards inclusion and making Dublin the best city it can be. Please vote for Orli Degani in Dún Laoghaire Council and me, Umar Al-Qadri for MEP in Dublin on June 7th. Together, we can build a great and inclusive future for our great city! #Dublin #IrelandForAll #Peace #Reconciliation #Elections #Umar4Dublin #Immigration #Gaza

VIDEO: Texas Gov. Abbott calls for regulations on data centers, contrasting previous stance FOX 4 NEWS ... AUSTIN, Texas - Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday called for sweeping regulations on data centers to be passed by the legislature in the 2027 session. It's a change in stance for Abbott, who previously worked to make Texas the epicenter of the data center buildout. In a letter to the Public Utilities Commission of Texas and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Abbot laid out his ideas to hold data centers accountable and ensure the costs of their growth are not passed on to taxpayers. Abbott called for new centers to add power generation to the state's power grid while paying for their own infrastructure costs and connection to the grid. The letter also calls for the mandated use of closed-loop water systems and annual reporting on electricity and water use by data centers. The governor is also calling on lawmakers to repeal sales tax exemptions and "other outdated or unnecessary incentives" for data centers. Data centers would also be required to consider the communities by reducing their impact through measures such as reducing noise. "As Texas continues to welcome innovation and investment, we must ensure that growth strengthens our people and their quality of life without placing undue burdens on Texans and local communities," Abbott wrote in the letter. In the letter, Abbott directed PUC and ERCOT to submit a joint memorandum by July 17 outlining actions they've taken to prevent risks and added costs to taxpayers because of data center development. At least one lawmaker applauded the move as state Rep. Helen Kerwin praised Abbott for "protecting Texas ratepayers." "As these projects are proposed across Texas, we must PROTECT our water resources, rural communities, and state parks while bringing greater transparency and accountability to the process," Kerwin said on X. Kerwin has come out against the explosive expansion of data centers in the past, calling for full impact studies before development. "Economic development matters. Innovation matters. Jobs matter. But our water and our power are not negotiable," she said in February. Cal Jillson, a political scientist, tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey that Abbott's recent comments are at odds with his past stance on data centers. "The Governor has worked very hard to make Texas the epicenter of the data center buildout," Jillson said. ERCOT delivered a warning in April that Texas power demand could quadruple by 2032, mostly driven by data centers, population increases and oil production. Jillson also believes Abbott, who is seeking re-election this November, sees the potential for political backlash for other Republican campaigns. "He is sitting on $130 million, he’s gonna win easily but he knows that there are some races down ticket. Maybe even the U.S. Senate race, certainly the Texas Railroad Commissioner race, which have weaker Republicans that he needs to worry about," Jillson continued. "He’s got to try to be sure that Republicans hold the Texas House and Senate by large margins. So that’s what he’s trying to do, just position the Republican Party more than himself so they’re not taking blame for the data center buildout." The move comes as communities and local leaders push back against the rapid expansion of data centers in the state. Last month, Hill County officials placed a moratorium on new data centers in their county. The move was met with a lawsuit from developers. Officials rescinded the moratorium last week in response to the pressure from the lawsuit and issued a checklist for new large-scale development in the county. The Angelina County Commissioners Court advised residents to contact state lawmakers during Tuesday night's meeting after hearing public comments about a proposed data center located outside the Lufkin city limits. "We have no authority to do a moratorium or to stop any type of development in the county," Angelina County Judge Keith Wright said. "The Texas legislators have consciously limited what we can do, and they've done it on purpose."

WATCH: Kayleigh McEnany nails it on what Mamdani’s win means for NYC and what Republicans need to do between now and 2026: “This is one of the bluest places in the country. I mean, that’s a fact. The last time there was a Republican mayor that won was Mike Bloomberg going back to the early 2000s...It’s deeply blue. It’s getting bluer. People are leaving the city. There has been a decrease 2% in millionaires in this city. There’s been a decrease of 10% of those making $10 million or more...We already have in this city the number one welfare and education spending anywhere in the country, very few results to show for it.” “But I like what The Economist said. They said the goal of affordability from Mamdani is worthy, but not his methods. His methods, as I just played out do not work. But Donald Trump’s methods do work on this issue. Donald Trump gave Joe Biden — this is a fact — 1.4% inflation. You had Joe Biden that drove that up to 9.1%. Hand you 1.4, drive it up to 9.1.” “Donald Trump is successful nine months in at bringing down prices. A dozen eggs, the price has dropped 79%. National average of gasoline dropped $3 a gallon in the first week of November. He beat market expectations in September with the inflation rate at 2.5. Remember, it used to be at 9.1. Inflation-adjusted private sector wages increased by over 1,000. 30-year fixed mortgages, the nation was 6.7 at the end of October, 12% lower than when he took office.” “Donald Trump’s policies are working. Last night, blue politicians won in blue cities. Do we need to get the messaging right heading into the midterms? Yes. But Donald Trump’s methods, again, are working. Joe Biden took us to 9.1% inflation. I’ve got the data. I’ve got the facts. And, President Trump, I guarantee you, is going to share those facts.”

The main reason for this continued investigation is because data centers are destroying rural communities by siphoning natural resources, contaminating and consuming water for surrounding communities, driving up power costs, creating noise and light pollution, destroying habitats, wildlife, animal health, human health, and impacting fertility, as discussed in one of the show’s recent reports. The list goes on. For many, it’s making it impossible to continue living in the rural communities they fled to during COVID because they could see the playbook coming down the pipeline. But if you live in the city, these developments are going to impact you too, possibly in ways you can’t even begin to imagine yet. Maria’s theory, what she calls a common-sense one, is that there is a direct correlation between data centers and the AI control grid. Furthermore, she believes there is a direct correlation between data centers and smart cities. Before presenting the evidence, we want to walk you through key information on Erin Brockovich’s website, The key concerns include energy consumption, water usage, e-waste, location risks, scalability and efficiency, and noise. Anecdotal evidence suggests the noise itself may be impacting fertility, with farmers near data centers reporting that their livestock are no longer falling pregnant or giving birth. The website also highlights: • 15+ moratoria and pauses passed at the local, county, or state level. • 66% voter approval for Port Washington’s nation-first referendum. • 4 council members ousted in Festus, Missouri, after a data center vote. • 19% of community submissions mentioning NDAs, secret deals, meetings, or no public voice. • 25+ projects canceled due to local opposition in 2025 alone. • 69 active moratoriums across U.S. jurisdictions as of April 2026. •$156 billion in investment stalled by community opposition since 2025.

🚨 WARNING, TEXAS: AUSTIN CITY HALL HAS BEEN CAPTURED, AND YOUR LEADERS HAVE SURRENDERED! Yesterday, Texas "Leaders" put on a full-blown political obedience ritual to CAIR - a group Governor Abbott has designated as a foreign terrorist-linked organization - carried out by Austin’s far-left City Council like trained operatives. Krista Laine (District 6) stood at a taxpayer-funded podium and declared that Austin will defy the State of Texas in the name of “inclusion,” while praising CAIR for “civic engagement” and “justice” — the same CAIR currently suing Abbott and tied in federal court records to Hamas support networks. Let’s be clear about what just happened: 🔴 Krista Laine vowed her office will “work with CAIR-Austin” to expand reporting pathways and protections - code for embedding a radical advocacy group deeper into city governance. 🔴 Mike Siegel (DSA activist), Vanessa Fuentes, Harper-Madison, and Mayor Kirk Watson stood shoulder to shoulder endorsing an organization the Governor has warned every public entity to avoid legitimizing. 🔴 Shaimaa Zayan (CAIR-Austin) used the podium to smear Abbott’s terror designation as “unconstitutional,” accuse Texas of “discrimination,” and claim school choice policies and facility bans are part of an anti-Muslim conspiracy. 🔴 She openly admitted CAIR is mobilizing Muslims politically, training them to lobby lawmakers, and using government platforms to grow institutional power. This wasn’t about heritage or democracy. This was a coordinated defiance operation against the State of Texas — staged inside City Hall — to launder CAIR’s image, normalize Islamist grievance politics, and build a protected pipeline of influence using YOUR tax dollars. And the most disturbing part? They didn’t hide it. They celebrated it!!! They proclaimed “CAIR-Austin Day.” They pledged ongoing collaboration. They vowed institutional support. They framed Texas law as “hate.” They framed scrutiny as “bigotry.” They framed radical activism as “civil rights.” This is what ideological capture looks like. Austin’s City Council didn’t just dishonor Texas. They didn’t just spit in Abbott’s face. They didn’t just betray public trust. They formally aligned a U.S. city government with a terror-linked political pressure group and called it “inclusion.” VOTE OUT THESE RADICALS TEXAS - START RUNNING FOR CITY COUNCIL! 🔥 SHAME on Krista Laine 🔥 SHAME on Zohaib Qadri 🔥 SHAME on Vanessa Fuentes 🔥 SHAME on Mike Siegel 🔥 SHAME on Kirk Watson 🔥 SHAME on every silent Texas Republican letting this metastasize This is state defiance + ideological subversion + institutional capture. Texans - this is your warning shot. If Austin can do this today, your city is next tomorrow. HOLD YOUR LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE. ENOUGH! SEE MY FULL REPORT:
