One of the key points in the Constitution is that you can't just do things because you feel like it. And in this instance, when Florida voters said, "Not just no, but HELL, NO!" this doesn't even border on treason.

Bitch boi whines because he wants his name there on the Kennedy Center, even though his name is one place he doesn't want us seeing it.

I'd rather someone show up not wearing a suit than see this crap on the grounds of the White House.

There are many things going on politically that are frustrating, but something that I find even more frustrating is how telegraphed the trajectory we’re currently on was and continues to be.
Roughly two years ago, there was a family member that I outlined how exactly this was going to happen. How certain minorities were going to be labeled as being intrinsically criminal, and how this would lay the groundwork for future atrocities.
I pointed to specific language in Project 2025; Republicans literally spelled out what they were planning to do in advance.
I was ignored.
I’m not sure what it takes to get our fence-sitting “allies” to care, they might never…
…but given enough time and how bad things eventually get, they’ll say they did.

Iran might not have had nukes before, but I'm willing to bet they'll get them now, and in one hell of a hurry. Simply on the basis of self-defense.
Hahahahahahahahhaha
STFU Karen.
This story just broke wide open across Wisconsin — and it is now happening in states all across America.
The most powerful corporations in human history have figured out a way to move into your town, buy your neighbor’s land, and begin construction on a billion-dollar facility — all without ever telling you who they are, what they’re building, or what it will do to your electricity bill and your water supply.
And the shocking part? Your own elected officials — your mayor, your city council, your county attorney — signed legal agreements promising to keep it all secret from you.
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is documented. This is confirmed. And it is happening in your state right now.
In Beaver Dam, Wisconsin — a small city about an hour northeast of Madison — city officials signed a non-disclosure agreement on December 1, 2023. They did not sign it with Meta, one of the most recognizable companies on Earth. They signed it with a shell company no one had ever heard of called “Balloonist LLC.” The agreement referred only to a mysterious “project” — making no mention of a data center, no mention of Meta, and no mention of what was actually being planned for the community. Meta used not one but two separate shell companies to develop its Beaver Dam project entirely in secret — keeping residents in the dark for over a year while plans advanced. 
Balloonist LLC. That is the name Mark Zuckerberg’s company used to hide from the people of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin.
Beaver Dam is not the only Wisconsin community kept in the dark. At least four major Wisconsin data center projects were developed after local community leaders signed NDAs with the companies — or their disguised shell companies — preventing officials from telling residents what was being planned for their neighborhoods, their water, and their electricity grid. 
Four communities. Kept secret from their own residents. By their own elected officials. Who signed legal agreements they were pressured into signing.
Mason County Attorney John Estill — who signed an NDA for a data center proposal in Kentucky — captured the impossible position local officials find themselves in: “Either you want your government to be courting businesses and looking for development in your communities, or you don’t. And if you want them to be courting businesses and looking for growth in your local economies, then unfortunately, NDAs are part of the landscape.”
He’s not wrong. But he’s also describing a system where corporations have written the rules — and your government agreed to play by them. A system where the price of economic development is your right to know what is being built in your community.
In Laguna Park, Texas — where a secret data center was constructed the size of several large shopping centers — residents saw their utility bills spike almost immediately. Water bills increased by 20%. Electricity bills jumped 10%. The cost of upgrading local infrastructure to support the facility was passed directly to the people who had never been told the facility was coming. 
They never knew it was coming. They were never asked if they wanted it. And then their bills went up — to pay for infrastructure upgrades for a building they found out about after the concrete was already poured.
The secrecy has gotten so extreme that a team of researchers is now literally scanning satellite imagery from outer space to find data centers that companies are hiding from communities.
Researchers at Epoch AI — a nonprofit research institute — are using open-source intelligence, satellite imagery, building permits, and local legal documents to build an interactive map of data centers springing up across the United States. The buildings are being built in secret specifically to avoid backlash. So researchers are hunting for them from space — identifying their distinctive footprint of large, windowless concrete boxes near substations — before communities even know they exist. 
That is where America is in 2026. Scientists scanning satellites. Looking for secret data centers. Because companies are hiding billion-dollar buildings from the communities that will pay for them.
On April 24, 2026, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver introduced the AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act of 2026 — a bill that would require communities to be informed before deals are finalized about plans to build AI data centers in their neighborhoods, and would specifically ban municipalities from signing NDAs with data center developers. “When communities are denied information, they are denied a voice,” McIver said. “Your energy bills shouldn’t skyrocket because a developer snuck an AI data center into your neighborhood without giving you the opportunity to speak out.” 
A bill to ban the secret shell companies. To ban the NDAs. To give communities the right to know what is coming before it arrives.
Big Tech’s lobbyists are already working to kill it.
Meta called itself “Balloonist LLC.” They made your mayor sign a secrecy agreement. They built a billion-dollar data center. And the people of Beaver Dam found out when the construction equipment showed up.
This is happening in Wisconsin. In Kentucky. In Texas. In at least four states with confirmed NDA deals — and dozens more where the secrecy is so complete that researchers need satellites to find the buildings.
Your town could be next. And you would never know it was coming until it was too late to stop it.
