White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we go—through our words, our actions, and our systems. We don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious.
ENTIRELY fake news! At no point since President Trump was sworn back into office has the Trump EPA authorized the release of ANY genetically modified mosquitoes into Florida or anywhere else for that matter. So much fake news BS being peddled on social media for RTs, Likes, and engagement.
The Senate to now lose an exceptionally brilliant and creative mind, an MD who chairs healthcare, and a person of character. Bill Cassidy’s departure is a loss for the country.
IT’S OFFICIAL
Incumbent Senator Bill Cassidy has been DEFEATED after coming in 3rd place.
Cassidy voted to convict President Trump, voted for red flag laws, & voted for Senate Majority Leader Thune.
Louisiana will elect a new Senator this November.
Data Center in Box Elder County
I am fully supportive of the data center project in Box Elder County. When I first learned of the project, I had some of the same questions you might have. I, too, worry about people, water, power, the health of the Great Salt Lake, and why it would be good for Utah.
I had an opportunity to meet with the people bringing the project here and to get those questions addressed. I was impressed by their answers so I introduced them to my friend, Kevin O’Leary, who later decided to move forward with the project.
I believe it is going to a be huge net positive for the State of Utah. Here’s what was shared with me and why I’m excited about it:
Energy
· This project is not taking anything out of the existing power grid.
· The price Utahns pay for power should not go up because of this development.
· More than a decade ago, a 42” pipeline from Wyoming called the Ruby Pipeline, with Natural Gas, was constructed. It’s already there - permitted and installed underground. Regulatory standards are already in place at the state and federal level.
· The data center may even feed surplus power back into the grid and other renewable power sources may be deployed.
Water
· When the developers put the private land under contract, they agreed to paying a premium price, multiple times greater than market rate for the area. They were candid about the potential. The project uses the existing private water rights that were in use by the previous landowners.
· It doesn’t need additional water beyond what already belongs to that property.
· The water they’ll be using currently does not feed into the Great Salt Lake.
· There might be a net increase of water going into the Great Salt Lake by using the water supply and flowing it down to the Great Salt Lake rather than being used for agriculture.
· The water available to that property is currently low quality and brackish.
· Water put into the Great Salt Lake would need to be higher quality and treated.
Those are the concerns. But what is most exciting are the opportunities.
Tax revenue
· The 40,000 acres was generating roughly $250,000 annually in taxes for Box Elder County.
· When fully implemented, it’s anticipated the county will receive more than $100 million annually in tax revenue from those 40,000 acres. Today the Box Elder total budget is less than $80 million.
· The state, via sales tax, will receive hundreds of millions of dollars annually when fully developed. All Utahns benefit from that. This is all new revenue to the state.
HAFB
· The proximity of the data center makes Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) a more attractive asset for the Pentagon.
· That accessibility may protect Hill from future BRAC closure threats. In a rapidly changing world, data centers in the USA are safer for Americans. Having them in Utah helps with jobs, viability long-term for Hill, and providing a national security asset.
· The data center supports the mission of both HAFB and the Utah Test & Training Range (UTTR).
· ”Top of Utah” is heavily dependent on Hill for a whole ecosystem of jobs and businesses. Keeping our economy vibrant in northern Utah is an imperative.
That’s good for Utah jobs (thousands of new jobs in Top of Utah), our economy, and national defense. We have to be able to process data. This facility will do so with minimal disruption to the taxpayers who benefit from it. It’s off the beaten path in an area that is hard to make productive. It will also bring additional private sector companies and advanced manufacturing our state can not support because our current energy supplies are not big enough. It can be done cleanly, supporting our state with jobs, revenue, and making Utah a leading place to do business while supporting our quality of life.
Democrats in Utah drew a black Republican Congressman out of his district while complaining about not having “Black Districts” in other states.
You can’t make this up…
Rep. Burgess Owens: “Marxists want to divide us in any way they can… want blacks to feel that they are not worthy or unequal.”
“It’s been far too long that Democrats have gotten away with this… dividing people up, putting segregated groups of blacks and make them feel so miserable, so uneducated that they can control that process.”
It’s important for everyone to understand that President Trump rolling into China with the better part of $20 trillion worth of CEOs of American companies,
Is a bigger projection of power than sending a fleet of aircraft carriers.
Spent a little time in DC, from meetings in the Capitol Building to the White House. There is much to be done. Especially around regulatory reform. The consensus seeming to be... less regulation and making sure that congress codifies all that they can. Cutting red tape is a huge part. Especially out here in the west, NEPA reform should be at the top of the list. @BasedMikeLee understands that. Looking forward to the SPEED Act moving forward. Lets get it done!
The next time the Dems scream that the price of gas is Trump's fault, show them this video of Joe Biden's Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm saying, “The president does not control the price of gasoline.”
Whoever Spencer Pratt has putting together his commercials, every Republican running for office in the midterms needs to hire them today!
Here's another banger!👏
