Yes yes and yes!
We live in the country because, by God’s grace, we can choose this lifestyle. Stop telling us the 8 million sq ft Data Centers on AgLand won’t ruin our country way of life.

[Chip Roy @chiproytx]

The real issue on data centers, transmission lines, flock cameras, FISA, beef imports, Islam, immigration, “safety” regulations, healthcare, & pretty much everything… 

AMERICANS WANT TO STOP BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO BY GOVERNMENT & CORPORATE A$$HATS WHO SAY JUST “TRUST US.”  They don’t.  And shouldn’t. 

They cannot afford healthcare, they can’t afford a house, they can’t live in a safe & secure community of trust and shared values - while they see yet another strip mall or concrete box data center funded by private equity bros… who are working with the real estate bros who are in bed with local government to hike their local bonds for another mega school filled with teachers telling their kids that they are racist and should be gay or another sex…

All while they bulldoze 100 year old oak trees and suck up water and electricity - forcing prices up while we watch power come in on transmission lines from some ugly solar panel or wind farm covering up farmland… that only exist because corporate subsidies to cronies getting rich from those government subsidies….

To be told that we HAVE to do AI… because China and prosperity… to have our kids look at screens dotted with pornography, sports betting, and eye-crushing addiction… when no one can tell them that we can control AI to maintain a moral society and a Republican form of government, which as sh*tty as it is… is the worst form except for all the others… or that AI is not going to take their job… but just “trust us,” there the tech oligarchs will definitely “provide” for them as benevolent despots with universal wealth… because… you know, yeah - history is dotted with such experiences.

This rant is on behalf of all the Texans and Americans I know who are NOT idiots… who are fine with technology… fine with profits… and aren’t conspiracy theorists… but who are tired of all the society crushing, soul-crushing bullsh*t built in the back of corporate whores who don’t give a crap about them and while they want modern advancement…

…They simply want to recognize America again.  Whether they can articulate it or not… they want joy, time, family, conversation, a safe Christian-based western community without Islamic prayer calls…  and they would like predictability for more than 5 seconds - with the dignity of a job they can maintain and count on to go along with it…

So – the elites and the government officials can please stop lecturing the people on how “stupid” they are and instead… stop destroying America with debt, unlimited immigration, and empowerment of corporate board rooms over people… and then telling them you’re not doing just that…

@johnennis The data centers knew we would fight to protect our AgLand and that’s why they’ve been so secretive about permitting and plans. We will fight for our country way of life and encourage developers to build in industrial areas.

[KM @The_KoKoMo]

@BlueBoxDave And what happens to 8,000,000 sq ft of data center in our lovely rural community when this technology becomes obsolete? Grazing land is replaced with concrete, steel and toxic waste. Rural Texans are being asked to sacrifice too much for someone else’s gain.

[Alex Fasulo @alex_fasulo]

The destruction of the land that feeds us, rural heritage, history, animal habitat, and surrounding property values… all viewable from one photo.

To put this into perspective, ORES is trying to site over 18,000 acres of solar in Montgomery County alone.

Local tourism, retail stores and diners, nature trails, bird watching, farm stands, agrotourism… it’s all destroyed.

And for those that didn’t sellout, their property values take a substantial hit. Why? Industrial desecration is being allowed on zoned agricultural land. When a corporation is allowed to deviate from the zoning everyone else has to follow, the properties take a financial hit. That’s why zoning exists in the first place.

There’s no farming going on at these complexes. Just compacted, mutilated land that’s been stripped of its topsoil. The land that once fed us, now blanketed in Chinese-made solar panels installed by foreign corporations.

[KM @The_KoKoMo]

@RonDeSantis Precisely. Many existing data centers are size of a large Costco. The ones they’re proposing in rural Texas are 8,000,000 sq ft: FIFTY Costcos. Big sacrifice to ask of rural Texas — we love our country way of life.

[KM @The_KoKoMo]

@SamLyman33 They need to be built in industrial zones and not in the middle of our irreplaceable AgLand. Our land is worth the fight.

[KM @The_KoKoMo]

@juliew38138 @KevinRobertsTX Precisely! Those of us in rural communities can understand the need for data centers AND not want them to ruin our country way of life. Developers are choosing unincorporated ranchland so they don’t have to comply with city zoning/building codes.

[Julie H Wright✝️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥋 @juliew38138]

@KevinRobertsTX A simple solution is putting them in vacant factories that are already zoned for this

[KM @The_KoKoMo]

Moral panic? Rural Texas countryside is worth fighting for. When you get an 8,000,000 sq ft data center put in your backyard we’ll talk. We want to preserve the Texas country way of life.

[Brit Hume @brithume]

The data center resistance is a moral panic that is now causing a political stampede. It is based to a great extent on misinformation, as Noah Rothman points out here.:

[KM @The_KoKoMo]

Hard to compare apples to apples …. These data centers appear to be 400k to 700k sq ft. Texas data center proposed next to us is 8,000,000 sq ft on 2850 acres. AI is asking rural Texas to give up so much

Well, this is truly horrifying. A new study found abortion drugs in US drinking water.

In 2025, 25 Republican lawmakers “signed a letter calling on the Trump administration to determine whether the abortion pill mifepristone has an environmental impact on the U.S. water system.”

Mifepristone is the first in a set of two drugs that end the life (are used to murder) of an unborn child, typically early in pregnancy (up to about 10 weeks gestational age). This drug is basically an antiprogestin, blocking the woman’s body from receiving the hormone progesterone that allows the uterine lining to accept the baby’s placenta. Unable to receive nourishment from mom due to the lack of progesterone, the baby dies and a second drug induces contractions to deliver the dead baby’s tiny body.

About 63% of abortions today are these chemical abortions (642,700 babies killed in 2023), and an increasing number take place at home. But what happens to the mifepristone after the woman takes it and kills her baby? The baby and the mifepristone leave the woman’s body and are flushed down the toilet to presumably be removed by the wastewater treatment plant—except no one was testing if conventional water treatment removed drugs like mifepristone from drinking water. Turns out, according to a new study, it doesn’t.

This study published in Issues in Law & Medicine found “a statistically significant amount of mifepristone was found in all but one of the nine water sources” that were tested (water came from Austin, TX; Blacksburg, VA; and Carbondale, IL). The study authors write:

“Conventional water treatment was not effective for removing this EDC [endocrine-disrupting compound] from water in all cities we tested. Two cities showed significant mean concentrations even in tap water.”

What impact does this have on the health and fertility of the people drinking the water or the plants and animals that live in or around the water? No one knows because it’s never been studied! But the study summarizes what we do know about these kinds of compounds that disrupt the endocrine (hormone) system:

“Past research has shown that endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), including steroid hormones, synthetic estrogens and progestins found in oral contraceptives, are present in water supplies. This problem remains an environmental and health concern, especially given the widespread use of contraceptives and the increased prevalence of medication abortion in recent years. These compounds have a number of deleterious effects on human and animal biology, particularly aquatic animals. Small amounts of these chemicals (parts per trillion) can affect the endocrine system of animals and humans. Progestins, including specifically the anti-progesterone synthetic steroid hormone mifepristone, have been found to have disruptive effects on the fertility and reproduction of fish. Moreover, further highlighting the potential for environmental toxicity and contamination, the FDA recommends treating any unused mifepristone pills as hazardous waste.”

In other words, we don’t know the effect on human and environmental health yet for sure, but it’s probably not good!

According to an article reporting on this story:

“The EPA relied on studies that were done . . . in 1996 . . . to make sure that the excreted chemicals in the wastewater and the thrown away pills . . . would not reach a level that would hinder U.S. fertility rates,” [Vice chairman of the Committee on Health and Human Services in the Kansas House of Representatives Ron] Bryce said. ‘Since then . . . up to 63% or more of abortions are done by chemical abortions. Maybe—who knows—a million a year. And so the levels of mifepristone in our wastewater have grown dramatically.’

“Infertility has skyrocketed . . . 84% between 1990 and 2021 globally. . . . The abortion pill was first approved in the U.S. in 2000 and approved in many European countries in the late 1980s and early ‘90s. In 2021, the study found that more than 110 million women faced infertility, and one in 10 women within the reproductive age range were infertile.

“Bryce . . . is calling for a study to be done that analyzes infertility in light of mifepristone in the U.S. water system.

“‘[A] study that was done about a year ago on female frogs [found that] when they were exposed to mifepristone that is considered the level that is in our drinking water today, they had half as many babies,” he said. “And so we’re looking at fertility rates that are very low in the United States and in the Western civilization. . . . It’s either environmental factors or it’s behavioral factors. It’s probably a combination of the two. . . . We really need to get to the bottom of the environmental factors that might be contributing to this, and it’s just obvious that we need to look at the levels of mifepristone in our water.’”

Abortion advocates love to say that what a woman does with “her body” (but really, we’re talking about a woman’s body and a totally separate body, her unborn child, which is not part of her body but has his or her own DNA—a unique combination of information different to any other human being) is a medical decision between her and her doctor. But abortion doesn’t just impact a woman and her baby, who loses his or her life. This new study highlights yet another way abortion impacts everyone as millions of un-consenting Americans ingest harmful compounds that may wreak havoc on their own endocrine system and their future fertility (not to mention the environmental considerations that also impact everyone in one way or another!).

Abortion harms everyone, babies first and foremost, but also men and women—even those not involved in any way with abortion. This new study is just another example of the consequences of a culture that has abandoned God’s Word as the foundation for morality and has legalized and commercialized the slaughter of the unborn.

Oh, and it’s a good reminder to filter your tap water! The study suggests, “Maximum removal requires tertiary treatment, such as membrane bioreactors [like a reverse osmosis system], oxidation, or ozonation.”

As a rancher in the Big Bend area, we know the facts on the ground. In real time, limited border-security work inside Big Bend National Park has become the newest spectacle spooled up by mainstream media and partisan politics—exactly like the COVID jab, pronoun rules, men in women’s sports, Iran, Israel-Palestine, and gender-surgery stories. Before jumping in to take a side based on sensationalized journalism meant to gain clicks and likes—and looking like a fool—be very careful with the sources: what outlets broadcast and what is actually happening remain two different things.

Approximately 100,000 Californians move to Texas each year and bring their liberal values with them. California remains the top state-to-state feeder into Texas, accounting for roughly 14% to 16% of all out-of-state newcomers moving to the Lone Star State. "Wondering Woman" is one of them. This is why we must vote in November.

[Mary Talley Bowden MD @MaryBowdenMD]

I doubt I can persuade any Democrats to vote for @KenPaxtonTX ... but I hope I can at least convince all the Texans who follow me to vote in November. Texas is in trouble - COVID was a harbinger of the liberal takeover of our state.

With >37,000 active suits, Paxton is the most prolific AG in the country who has consistently defended medical freedom rights. Next Monday, he's fighting the Texas Medical Board on my behalf. I'm very grateful for his support.
