kentuck's JournalAn update on the Data Center in Appalachia...
...in SE Kentucky, more specifically.
They had a meeting at the Courthouse today and it drew a large crowd, most of them against the construction on HWY 92.
The owner of the property was there. They agreed to stop all construction for the time being. They will have another meeting in a couple of weeks.
This is personal for me. It is where I was born. It is where my family is buried.
They are attempting to get a 2-year moratorium on any Data Center in Bell County, KY.
This is blood red Trump country.
Senators Cassidy and Paul must feel really good about changing their vote the other night...?
...on the War Powers Act?
They were correct in believing that the Senate should have a voice in whether or not we go to war? But, Trump threw a tantrum and they changed their vote to give him all the powers of making war.
And he wasted little time.
He schemed with Oman to open up the half of the Strait of Hormuz that borders Oman and the American military would escort the tankers thru that half of the Strait.
But that did not go over very well with the Iranians. They fired on a tanker a couple of days ago and Trump responded with re-newed bombing. They fired on another tanker last night and the bombing became more intense.
Cassidy and Paul will be happy to hear that the war has begun anew. We don't know how it will end? All that we know is that Donald Trump will be in charge.
The environment is volatile.
Trump's criminal mind is working 24/7.
It is not possible for the average person to keep up.
For example, we worry that he will attempt to suppress the vote in the next election. But we do not think of all the ways he will try to do that?
We know he would like to do away with mail-in voting altogether. He wants to pass the SAVE Act. He thinks that somehow helps him?
But his longtime adviser, Steve Bannon, has suggested that ICE agents and "others" should show up at the polls, armed to the teeth.
But, Trump cannot afford to lose the next election. He is a desperate man. He will do whatever he can get away with to affect the outcome of the election.
Would he order voting machines to be confiscated? Yes, if he could get away with it.
Would he destroy ballots before they are counted? Yes, if he could.
Would he bribe election officials? Of course.
And whatever else he can think of to steal the election.
Republicans also vote by mail.
Do they think their vote will be counted? Do they think only the Democratic votes will be suppressed?
It is a dangerous proposition they are entertaining.
Don't ever let a crook count your votes.
Keep Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Steve Bannon away from our polls.
What happened to the people arrested at the Reflection Pool ??
Are they still in jail? Have they all been charged with a crime?
We have heard that 5 or 6 people were in custody?
If they are in jail, would they not be considered "political prisoners"? Obviously, there were no laws broken. Nobody did damage to the pool except Trump and his no-bid contractor.
Just like January 6th, he needs to imprison someone for his FUBARS. Who cares who goes to jail so long as no one blames the real culprit?
But, shouldn't the media find out about these folks that were arrested at the pool? It would be a travesty if they are imprisoned.
Did MAGA betray this country voluntarily?
Or were they used by the Republicans and the right-wing media to help destroy our democracy?
Did they really know what they were doing or were most of them just innocent rubes?
But, whatever the case, they have done great harm to this country. They were deceived because they wanted to be deceived? They accepted the lies without question. In the end, we are all responsible for our actions. MAGA cannot escape responsibility.
Are any of them introspective enough to see what they have done?
Or do they still think they have done something great?
Take the tarp off JFK Center and put it over the algae...
So we can celebrate the Fourth of July without so many eyesores.
Everything this guy touches turns to you-know-what.
It is so hard to get rid of the algae once it starts blooming. We will probably still have it on the 4th?
But those "Dumocrats" went in there with box cutters (or knives) and cut slits for about 350 feet. Yeah, that's the ticket! It was the Democrats fault.
Has Trump even mentioned the earthquakes in Venezuela?
Since he invaded the country and imprisoned their leadership, doesn't he have some responsibility for the welfare of their people?
Or is it, "Too bad! You're on your own?"
The cold callousness is on display once again.
We should be helping those people, not just taking their oil.
MAGA Mike is running scared?
He told a bunch of his fellow collaborators that if the Democrats win in November, Trump will be impeached and everyone will be investigated, including his comrades in the room. He told them he was the leader of their protection racket.
It was a reminder that the election is getting closer. Republicans are starting to sweat. Trump presents a lot of problems for them, with the cover up of pedo files and the unjustified war in Iran, but they will stick with Trump and try to steer around all the obstacles. They believe their propaganda system is strong enough to withstand any attack from the Democrats.
It does appear they have temporarily found a way to get the oil thru the Strait of Hormuz. They have promised Oman protection, and likely other rewards, if they will let the ships thru the "Omani route", to be guided by the American military. The markets seemed to be pleased with that strategy as the price of oil dropped very quickly once a few tankers made their way through. Then one of the tankers took a hit from the Iranians and Trump started bombing again. How long will this continue?
We can judge how the Democrats are doing by the degree of panic on MAGA Mike's face.
But even a "Commie" is better than "pedo protectors" and "corrupt grifters"...
A "Democratic Socialist" wins a race in New York and Trump and Republicans want to brand the Democratic Party as "Communist". This is all they have and it appears they are going to use this strategy up to election day.
Never mind that it is the Republican Party that runs around their rallies with T-shirts of Putin stamped on them. Never mind that it is Donald Trump that is "best buds" with the communists and dictators around the world.
Their strategy is clear. Try to brand the Democrats as "Communist". They are running from their own records. Democrats should have a response.
