Residents in an affluent Georgia subdivision thought they were doing their part during a statewide drought. They scaled back lawn watering, monitored showers, and heeded official pleas for conservation as wildfires raged.

If the water is for cooling, it should be constantly circulated instead of consumed, no?

Its not just the water usage, its the power requirements. The data center doesn't pay for the new power plants, grid upgrades and additional employees. The rate payers do. I live in GA and have seen my utilities double in the past few years.

An 800 unit man camp is proposed for Cheyenne, Wyoming. The workers are needed for AI and data center construction. The camp which could house up to 5,600 workers is described as temporary. But with 70 data centers in the planning stage in the Cheyenne area, ‘temporary’ seems like a relative term.

Might I suggest the Data Centers be located near the OCEAN and be required to have their OWN Desalinization Facilities, and may NOT connect to any water supply, PERIOD!

(American Political Report)—The radically racist left suffered another major blow in their efforts to indoctrinate Americans this weekend when MSNBC cancelled “The ReidOut,” a show hosted by race-baiting propagandist Joy Reid. The show and the host, which have both been featured prominently by this news outlet for their unhinged takes on pretty much every topic, will no longer be indoctrinating the left after this week.
Why Biden's documents mess could be one
of the biggest political scandals in American history

The political weaponization of the U.S. Department of Justice finally hit a wall last week as Attorney General Merrick B. Garland boxed himself into having to appoint a special counsel to examine classified documents squirreled away in multiple locations by then-Vice President Joe Biden. While many are questioning Garland and the DOJ’s handling of both Trump’s "Mar-a-Lago" and Biden’s "Car-a-Lago" possession of classified documents, it’s the content of these Biden papers that could become potentially one of the biggest political scandals in our nation’s history. For years, we’ve witnessed the DOJ dragging its feet on the investigation of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.

The DC Department of Corrections continues to exploit the Covid pandemic as a means to discriminate against J6 defendants, Peter Stager, an Arkansas man who has been detained in the DC jail for over 600 days, explains in a letter provided exclusively to The Gateway Pundit. Correction officers are using Covid as an excuse to withhold political prisoners from access to basic necessities and bar inmates incarcerated for protesting the stolen 2020 election from visitation rights, Stager notes.

Returns are not counted for days. It is intolerable for a modern democracy to wait and wait for all sorts of ballots both cast and counted under radically different and sometimes dubious conditions. The Democrats – with overwhelming media and money advantages – have mastered these arts of massive and unprecedented early, mail-in, and absentee voting. Old-fashioned Republicans count on riling up their voters to show up on Election Day. But it is far easier to finesse and control the mail-in ballots than to ‘get out the vote.’

The Two Mikes were joined about an hour ago by Lt. General Thomas McInerney (ret’d), who presented a brief report on last night’s election results. General McInerney said the election was a repeat of 2020 with widespread vote manipulation by the Democrats and their Chinese paymasters. The general pointed especially to Pennsylvania and Arizona, reporting that 330 thousand votes were shifted from Dr. Oz to Fetterman, and in Arizona about 36,000 were shifted from Kari Lake to Hobbs. This kind of thing, he said, occurred across the country.

When something is so obvious, if the outcome makes no sense, if the outcome is literally impossible, then it is what it is. Forget “proof.” You know it. You saw it. You felt it. You experienced it. It happened. It’s real. The 2022 midterm was just stolen. Just like 2020.

I spent well over 30 years of my career in higher education, and for most of that time, I enjoyed a good debate with my peers. As a conservative, I was often in the minority, but that didn’t impede mutual respect, nor did it hinder friendships. Political differences were stark, but nearly all of them boiled down to disputes over means and not ends. All of us, for example, agreed that child care was a good thing.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson will be able to weigh in on a lawsuit surrounding alleged discriminatory college admissions practices after the high court decoupled a pair of cases surrounding affirmative action policies at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina , Chapel Hill. Jackson, who was sworn in as the first black woman on the high court last month, said in March that she planned to recuse herself from the previously consolidated lawsuits during her Senate Judiciary Committee hearings due to her role on Harvard's Board of Overseers, which concluded on May 26. But last Friday, the Supreme Court made a procedural step to separate the cases,

This is not a surprise as we have noted the Trump administration continues to take apart the tentacles of Lawfare and Intelligence operatives in Main Justice, various U.S. Attorney offices, FBI Headquarters, FBI field offices and various Intelligence Community silos.

WASHINGTON — Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas lamented the delay in immigration enforcement actions until the final year of President Biden’s term — despite having testified to Congress several times while in office that the US border was “secure.” In an appearance Tuesday at Politico’s Security Summit, Mayorkas discussed aspects of the “broken” immigration system in America, acknowledging that a “low bar” for those expressing “credible fear of persecution” allowed too many migrants into the country during the Biden administration. More than 8 million entered by the start of the 46th president’s final year in office — before Biden moved to shut down the border and crack down on illegal crossings

AUSTIN — Former President Barack Obama met with U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico Tuesday in Texas, putting his support behind a campaign that Democrats see as a shot, if a long one, for the party to win statewide in the reliably conservative state. Obama lunched with Talarico and Democratic state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, the nominee running to unseat Texas’ Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, at a taco shop in Austin. The visit was meant to give the candidates a boost from one of the more liked figures in the Democratic Party. Obama has been highlighting younger leaders in the party, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani,

As New York braces for another sweaty, subway-platform-melting summer, the state is once again handing out free air conditioners to eligible residents — because surviving July without one is basically an Olympic sport. Applications for New York’s Cooling Assistance Benefit opened April 15, offering qualifying households a free air conditioner or fan, plus installation, just in time for the season when apartment living starts to feel like slow-roasting in a brick oven. [snip] For window, portable A/C units or fans, the benefit covers up to $800, including installation. Existing wall sleeve units can be covered up to $1,000.

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump won’t have to pay an $83 million defamation award to a longtime advice columnist until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal, according to a court entry Tuesday. (Snip) Smith said last week there was a “fair prospect” that the Supreme Court will find in favor of Trump, who has called Carroll’s claims first made publicly in 2019 that she was sexually attacked by Trump in a Manhattan luxury department store dressing room in spring 1996 a “made up scam.” The $83 million award to Carroll

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones (D) appears to have gotten his law license from Minnesota’s Quality Learing Center. After misspelling “Virginia” and “Senator” on a recent appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, Jones’ office fired off an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States that’s addressed to — lol — the Supreme Court of Virginia. In the first case… no spell check? The attorney general’s office doesn’t use spell check? In the second case of addressing the petition to the wrong court, I’m speechless at this level of incompetence, especially AFTER all those misspellings and when this case is 1) the most important thing on the planet to Democrats

Student visas are designed to expand educational opportunities. What’s better than studying abroad or hosting international students in the U.S. to deepen cultural ties and expand our horizons? Turns out, however, that just like we’ve seen in the massive Minnesota and California social‑service program fraud epidemic, the rampant COVID relief scams, and so much more, bad actors love to take advantage of government programs, and according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), that’s exactly what went down with a visa program called Optional Practical Training. The idea is to give foreign students with F-1 visas

At 1:06 p.m., Cambridge police received a 911 call from Boston police, who said an individual acting erratically and in possession of a rifle was in Cambridge, Ryan said.

Despite being newly empowered by the Callais v. Louisiana Supreme Court ruling, South Carolina’s Republican-controlled Senate rejected moving ahead with a redistricting plan that would have likely unseated the state’s sole Democrat in Congress, Rep. Jim Clyburn. On Tuesday, the state Senate voted by a 29-17 margin to allow for the General Assembly to work on redistricting ahead of the 2026 elections. This was short of the necessary two-thirds threshold, with five Republican senators defecting.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called the nuclear phaseout a “serious strategic mistake” that left Germany short of firm power that turned the Energiewende into the most expensive energy transition on the planet. This is an early marker for a developing worldwide retreat from policies that sidelined nuclear power and demonized coal, oil, and natural gas. Germany stubbornly closed its last three functioning nuclear reactors in April 2023 right in the middle of a crippling energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine. As pragmatists predicted, German citizens now suffer under punishingly high electricity prices and remain heavily dependent on imported energy.

Democrats have been scrambling, trying to distinguish themselves from each other in the California governor's race, but it hasn't been going well for them, especially when the top Republican candidates are both clearly better than any of the Democrats. You have to love their infighting because it shows how inappropriate all the Democrats are for the job. Former U.S. Representative Katie Porter was hard at it during an interview on CNN with Dana Bash. During that interview on CNN's "Inside Politics," Porter pointed a finger at her billionaire opponent in the race, Tom Steyer, for leaking a video of her screaming at a staffer.
