Nuclear Power Plants Far More Popular Than AI Data Centers For Local Areas

 Forbes   

"Americans are so against the construction of artificial intelligence data centers in their local areas that they'd rather see a nuclear power plant built nearby, according to new polling data released by Gallup."


Key Facts

"A Gallup survey released Wednesday shows 71% of Americans are somewhat or strongly opposed to the building of AI data centers in their area, mostly out of concern for their environmental impact.

That number is much higher than the 53% of respondents who said they'd oppose the building of a nuclear energy plant in their area (more than one-third of the U.S. population lives or works within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant).

Seventy percent of respondents said they were worried to some degree about how the centers, infamous for their massive energy and water consumption, would impact the local environment, and other respondents cited concerns about quality of life, economic impact and general worries about AI.

Only 7% of people said they strongly favor the building of data centers nearby, and those people, along with the 20% who responded they're "somewhat" in favor, said they think the centers would benefit the economy, create jobs and increase tax revenue.

The majority of all major demographic groups and political parties said they would oppose having a data center built where they live, but women and Democrats were much more likely than Republicans to be strongly opposed." . . . More...

Middle East War Turns AI Data Center Security Into Its Own Boom

"The AI data center boom put American-funded, America-based data center projects on Middle East soil. Here’s how the war—and Iran’s drone attacks on Amazon data centers—is impacting how these capital-intensive projects are thinking about security.

Britain Hands Out Guides to Illegal Migrants Reminding Them Not to Rape Women

 The Gateway Pundit  

Well, we did see what Hamas did to women in Israel that October 7th. TD

"The Home Office has just issued a booklet to illegal immigrants advising them not to commit rape and sexual assault, including of children. This tells us all we need to know about the kind of people illegally entering our country " Chris Philip, MP

"The British government is handing a nine-page guide explaining that rape, sexual harassment, domestic abuse and controlling women are unacceptable in the United Kingdom.

The government booklet lays out basic rules on sex, consent, relationships and behavior in public, while explaining that in liberal democracies like the U.K. women have the right to work, study, travel and choose whom they marry." . . .

“Women do not need permission from a husband, father, brother, or any other man to do any of these things,” the guidance states.

Remember the megaphone lady Angie Nixon?

"Stand up! Stand up for Col. Vindman!", said Joe Biden for no discernible reason.

 CBS’s Gayle King floored by DSA candidate’s claim she isn’t familiar with Hasan Piker: ‘You don’t know who he is?’ 

"Nixon, who has experience as a union organizer, now has the support of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and DSCC Chair Kristen Gillibrand (D-NY)."

 Yet she is a fellow Democrat Socialist with Piker.




Florida state rep. says Angie Nixon’s bullhorn protest during redistricting vote left her with possible ear damage   
"Another question is how much establishment Democrats in Florida will rally behind Nixon. Democratic gubernatorial nominee David Jolly created some distance between himself and Nixon, saying that he rejects socialism."

Hasan Piker and the Democrats Who Embrace His Violent Rhetoric (Extreme language advisory)

"From attacks on the Constitution to praise for Hamas and Mao, Piker’s rhetoric has not stopped prominent Democrats from appearing with him." 

His language ranks with that of Rashida Tlaib and mule skinners. If you like Hamas and what they did to Israeli families that Oct 7th, you will like this man. TD

The American Spectator  Warning: This opinion piece directly quotes the abundantly profane Hasan Piker. Piker’s acceptance among Democrat officials and candidates makes his horrid comments newsworthy. Reader discretion is advised.

"The fact that a Rose Parade of similar figures has not mustered behind Carville and marched away from Hasan Piker with all deliberate speed speaks terrifying volumes about the shambolic state of the modern Democrat Party."


"“Man, you can fuck and suck me from the back, okay. I fuck the Constitution. I wipe my ass with the Constitution. It’s a fucking piece of paper, dude. Shut the fuck up. Motherfuck the Constitution and motherfuck this country, okay. You stupid bitch.”

"Most people who heard such comments would walk (or run) away in disgust and hope never again to encounter such verbal sewage.

"'Left-wingers, liberals, you need to be fucking showing your opponents’ guts on there, you need to be gutting them,” this man roared. “You need to be shanking these motherfuckers and letting their fucking intestines writhe on-stage,” he said. “Slice them up. Slice ’em and fucking dice ’em.”

"These comments practically incite violence. The sadism that fuels such rhetoric might justify ringing mental-health authorities. And if those statements did not trigger a call to 911, consider this, about landlords:

"“Kill them. Kill those motherfuckers. Murder those motherfuckers in the street. Let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist blood, dude.”

"Those are the barbaric words of Hasan Piker, the extreme-Left social-media personality and spiritual leader of the flying-off-the-cliff Left.

"Piker’s vicious and inflammatory outbursts are not news, by themselves. America is overrun with psychopaths who mutter disturbing nonsense while stumbling through the streets or soiling themselves on sidewalks.

"What is newsworthy is that prominent Democrats embrace Piker, broadcast with him, and invite him to their campaign events.

"Piker and Abdul El-Sayed jointly rallied voters at Michigan State University in East Lansing and University of Michigan last April 7. Piker joked about weightlifting with El-Sayed at an August 3 campaign gathering, the night before he won Michigan’s Democrat nomination for U.S. Senate. Piker was an honored guest at El-Sayed’s primary-night victory party." . . . More.

Republicans Can’t Just Trash the Left—They Need a Plan to Win

 Victor Davis Hanson

"IF conservatives get out and vote, the midterms will go red. The GOP war chest is full, the economy is booming as are stocks, cities are safer. One of the greatest threats to peace has been resoundingly defeated. If we fail to vote, we will hand the midterms to the dems and fail our Republic." Comment to this video

Who’s in Worse Shape, Europe or the U.S.? "

 "Diversity just keeps making us stronger and stronger." AC

The American Conservative    

"If only Europeans had been less afraid of guns, and more afraid of multiculturalism! Before you could say “Rotherham grooming gang,” third-worlders were pouring into Europe, raping the indigenous population’s women and girls, committing random bombings and murders, all while being ferociously protected by government bureaucrats and the media."


"Someone I know once told me his main marital problem was that whenever he had a row with his wife, his parents would blame him, and his wife’s parents would blame him, so it was always unanimous: It was his fault.
"That’s how I see the “Which Is Worse?” question comparing immigration in the United States and Europe. Americans see countless videos of thousands of Muslims marching through London and Paris, and say, Europe is finished. Shocked at the unassimilable cultures being dumped on them, Europeans imagine no one has ever suffered so much.
"So it’s unanimous. The U.S. is lucky by comparison!
"The consensus opinion could not be more wrong. Europe has only just begun its experiment with “multiculturalism.” The U.S. is so far along on this journey, it would be a miracle for the country to survive another half century in any recognizable form.
"In addition to being screwed by the sizable group of Americans always clamoring for cheap labor, the U.S. is uniquely screwed by its geography, as pointed out by Harvard professor Samuel Huntington 20 years ago. We are one of the only developed countries to share a border with a third world country—and that border is 2,000 miles long, protected by a picket fence. Moreover, the income gap between Mexico and America is among the largest of any two contiguous countries in the world.
"But why not cheer for the U.S. becoming another Mexico, as the Wall Street Journal does? Think of all that cheap labor!
"For starters, Latin American culture is wildly different from ours, in terms of corruption, submission to authority, and its Catholicism, which reveres the poor and abhors “income inequality.” Practically the only prosperous and stable democracies in all of Latin America are Uruguay and Costa Rica, each less than 50 percent Catholic and both overwhelmingly white European (83 percent to 88 percent).
"By the way, what was Mexico’s contribution to defeating the Nazi war machine; ridding the world of polio, smallpox, malaria and other dread diseases; and the invention of the airplane, nuclear power, oil rigging machinery and the personal computer?
"Good luck to the rest of the world when the U.S. is Mexico-Norte.
"Which is happening faster than you might think. By now, America has taken in about one-third of Mexico’s entire population. And that’s to say nothing of El Salvador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and the other poverty-ridden countries to our south." . . . More.
