I accept the premise that China is a threat to our elections.
I reject the premise that you can claim to care about that and then turn around and grant hundreds of thousands of visas to Chinese elites, ship AI chips to China, and praise Xi, all because some billionaire donor friends have business relationships that require it.
Sec. Rubio: "In one 18 month period between 1971 and 1972, the FBI counted some 2,500 bombings on American soil—a rate of nearly 5 a day. The overwhelming share of that violence came from Left-Wing extremists... these are numbers that would shock most Americans today because we've been taught to believe that this kind of political violence, it simply doesn't exist or it's being exaggerated—but it does exist, and we're actually underestimating it."
I have never seen an issue more polarized by IQ than data centers. Not even vaccines. It’s a reminder that many people are basically medieval peasants that think witches poisoned the local well
MUST WATCH 🚨: Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): “When Saddam [Hussein] fell there were celebrations. 20 years later not so many celebrations.”
Bill Maher: “20 years later, Iraq is actually in a pretty good place. People don’t talk about that. Iraq is a much better country than it was… That kind of goes unnoticed that Iraq is not a failed state anymore. They actually have elections. They have opposition parties. They have a media.”
“It would still be torture rooms and Saddam Hussein and his kids would be in charge right now.”
NUKED!
It's too bad JD Vance is just some random podcast guest -- if he had any sort of real access to power he could get to the bottom of this once and for all
Tennessee❤️
When people told us at the beginning of our road trip that people in the South are different, we didn’t really know what they meant. But after spending several weeks here, we finally understand.
The hospitality here is just something else. Everyone knows everyone, and it feels like people are living one big shared life. Someone is always stopping by, doors are always open, and everyone is welcome.
One guy told us he hasn’t locked his house in 23 years. When we were out on the lake, we met some people who immediately invited us to their lake house to hang out. They offered us drinks, chicken wings, and made us feel completely at home. It’s a kind of hospitality I’ve never experienced before.
When we got back to the dock late that night, one of the guys on the boat said something that really stuck with me:
“You don’t have to live in some big, exciting city. What matters is the people who live there. That’s what makes you happy. I’ve lived in many places around the world, but nothing comes close to Ocoee, Tennessee. And you know the best part about living here? We’re going to do the exact same thing again tomorrow.”
We will be back.
Data centers haven’t been raising residential bills.
The sharpest increases are found in states that have pursued the country’s most aggressive climate policies, not those with the most data centers.
California, with some of the nation’s fastest-rising electricity rates, has seen relatively modest data-center growth. Virginia, where data centers consume more than a fifth of the state’s electricity, has experienced price increases near the national average.
