Though the vote didn’t go the way we had thought today. I want to sincerely thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who showed up. Until next time Utah. Congrats to Congressman Kennedy on his reelection.
Tomorrow kicks off Pride Month, an entire month dedicated to celebrating sexuality above all else.
What was sold as tolerance has become one of the most destructive forces on the
American family especially our children. It’s fueled the deepest polarization in our country, pushed anti-family policies, and turned sex into a public idol.
I miss the America I grew up in, where we didn’t put sexuality on a pedestal. Strong marriages, moms and dads raising kids that’s what built this nation.
Most Americans are fed up. They see the damage clearly now.
I’ve spent years fighting to protect the sanctity of marriage because everything in our society only works when strong families are having and raising children.
We need to get back to that.
@VoteTrevorLee@BenMcAdams Get em Trevor! It too makes me disgusted. No LDS member should be allowed to have the positions and be a priesthood holder or practicing member of the church.
INTRODUCING: The No Immigration Without Assimilation Act.
This bill is simple: if you hate America, you don't get to come here or stay here. Period.
Before anyone receives any immigration benefit, the Department of Homeland Security will conduct a full screening to determine:
Do they hold views incompatible with American principles?
Are they unlikely to assimilate into American culture?
Would their presence be detrimental to our culture and cultural cohesion?
If the answer to any of those questions is yes, they are inadmissible. If they are already here, they are deportable. America has every right to protect its culture, its laws, and its people.
Our bill is crystal clear about what disqualifying views look like:
◼️ Belief in religious law replacing or operating parallel to U.S. law, such as Sharia law
◼️ Belief religiously or politically motivated violence is justified
◼️ Belief constitutional rights should not apply to individuals
◼️ Belief authoritarian government is superior to representative democracy
◼️ Refusal to learn the English language
This is not hypothetical. This is already happening on American soil. Sharia tribunals have been accused of masquerading as legal courts in Texas. Dearborn, Michigan has been accused of operating under Sharia law. The Muslim call to prayer has been broadcast through the streets of New York City whether residents wanted to hear it or not.
The days of rolling out the welcome mat for people who despise this country are over. We are not a dumping ground for the third world. This bill puts America first and we will not apologize for it.
Say No to AI Data Centers. Time to revoke them all from Utah. And all from the USA. Our lands aren’t for sale. Our lands aren’t yours to be polluted. You have no place among our state and the mountain west.
This whole AI data center debacle has me believing that Utah Republicans are no better than Democrats. They are yet the same feather of the same beast. It’s disgusting what our politicians are doing here.
Showing his true colors. Data centers do not belong in Utah. They are harmful regardless of what any Politician will tell you or what someone else has been paid to taste the Kool-Aid of bringing them in.
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.
There is no place on this earth for those who rape children.
We introduced the Death Penalty for Child Rapists Act to make sure those who prey on our most vulnerable face the harshest consequence we can deliver.
Child rapists don't get second chances. They get the death penalty.
We will never apologize for protecting America's children.
There’s no vote you idiot BECAUSE the legislature draws them. Not the people. WE THE PEOPLE elect our representatives in the states. They are ENDOWED with the power to do so by the people. Thus no votes needed you ill educated twat.
No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)
No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP)
No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP)
No vote in Texas (+5 GOP)
Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.
MAGA has rigged the system.
