Big news for @TowerStrategyDC.
We've opened an office in Caracas, led by our newest strategic partner Gonzalo Fernández-Tinoco, a Venezuelan business leader with boardroom-level experience across energy and telecommunications in the country.
Venezuela sits on the world's largest proven oil reserves and is in the early stages of an economic reopening. For U.S. businesses and investors looking at the opportunity, understanding the landscape requires more than market research. It requires people who have operated there at the highest levels.
That's what Tower brings together: Venezuelan business leadership, former U.S. diplomatic leadership through Ambassador James Story, and intelligence experience from my years as CIA Station Chief in Caracas.
The opportunity in Venezuela is real. We're positioned to help clients navigate it.
Thank you to @PoliticoPro for the coverage.
Any time I have the opportunity to stand before our elected leaders here in Ohio to promote, @tjclarkintl, Ohio Manufacturing and the Defense Industrial Base I take it. My counterpart in Guangdong Province is surely doing the same.
Grateful to @ohiomfg for providing me the opportunity to advocate on behalf of Ohio manufacturers.
The time to Reindustrialize Ohio and America is now!

@WeWillBeFree24 Ironic your post on banning data centers is made possible by a data center. A flight RN would know your ability to treat a patient is brought to you by a data center. Mimic the Chinese Communist Party much? US National Security depends on Data Centers. Real Patriots know that.
The CCP is pushing the data centers are bad narrative to slow our Nation’s advance. Data Centers are a National Security issue. If you oppose them you are a useful idiot for the Chinese.
We uncovered something far bigger than I ever expected. After seeing coordinated false attacks against the Utah data center project, we brought in an advanced data science team to trace where the content was coming from and the results were shocking. What we found led back to organized networks, political activist groups, and funding trails tied to massive international entities. We dug through IRS 990 filings, tracked IP data from around the world, and uncovered what appears to be a coordinated campaign targeting energy and data center projects across multiple regions.
I shared 90 pages of evidence with federal law enforcement and raised concerns directly with contacts at the White House. This isn’t speculation. The filings, funding records, dates, and connections are documented. There’s a coordinated PR war happening around energy infrastructure and data centers, and we’re not going to ignore it.

@SBA_Kelly Now revise the the SBA federal contract small business set aside size standards. Companies with revenue above $1Billion are winning set aside contracts just because they have at or less than the employees listed for that NAICS code.
The water issue is made up. The Chinese Communist Party is pushing the water narrative to naive US citizens to prevent us from achieving AI dominance. Our National Security depends on data centers, so does our healthcare and pretty much everything else we do as humans like stream movies.
Data centers aren’t stealing your water.
Even if the total water draw of data centers triples by 2030, they’d require just 8% of the water consumed by American golf courses.
@dodgeblake interviewed @AndyMasley, the man who’s been debunking AI water doomerism. Full story 👇
Not only have conservatives become vanishingly rare in academia, so have centrists. That’s how complete the left’s dominance is: Even moderates are now a fringe group in academia.

Data Centers are critical for US National Security. The electricity and water arguments are based on false information. For example the US Almond growers use 10X the amount of water that all of the data centers in the US use combined. Those who seek to ban them are playing right into the hands of Chinese Communist Party to slow US advances in AI.
How does this happen @GovMikeDeWine???
“In all, the Cordoba-owned buildings in Columbus housed 288 businesses registered with Medicaid, The Daily Wire investigation found. Together, they charged taxpayers more than a quarter of a billion dollars between 2018 and 2024. That’s in a city where only 6,273 people 75 or older are on Medicaid.”
@DaveYostOH As a Republican, CEO and Co-Founder of a manufacturing business in the State of Ohio this is what the State of Ohio has chosen to focus on? Big Yawn. Way more pressing issues.
I replied via DM and then your auto reply directed to me a web site that had a form that looks like it was created by a 1978 Soviet Politburo committee of comrades for its ridiculous complexity and number of questions. This is not customer service. It is quite frankly shameful that a company with Google’s resources does not understand customer service. The form appears to be purposefully designed to be complicated and lengthy to discourage one from completing it. We definitely don’t treat our customers this way at our company. We actually have a phone number with a live person that answers it.
It’s definitely an opportunity to supply defense companies however I stared a defense manufacturing company from zero. No VC. With an amazing team we built it into the leader in tactical fuel and water distribution for the DoW. Fubini may be right on drone manufacturers but there are a lot of other challenges to be solved.
