What is up with Africa? It is bizarre that American taxpayers keep sending hundreds of millions in USAID money every year to countries with birth rates two to three times higher than our own. Major recipients like the Democratic Republic of Congo have fertility rates over 5.5 children per woman. Nigeria sits around 4.3 to 4.5. Sudan and Ethiopia are well above 4.0. The United States fertility rate is roughly 1.6. Given our high housing costs and lack of jobs, AI and robots, that might be a good thing actually. We are using American money to support rapid population growth in places that cannot sustain their current numbers. This creates endless dependency and more pressure for migration into the United States. Meanwhile American families deal with strained schools hospitals housing shortages and suppressed wages. This is not compassion. It is a policy choice. They Dont Work For You.

WE FOUND IT In a now deleted post, Senator Cornyn wrote, “Welcome to the Indian Century” w/ a NYT opinion piece focusing on the rising number of youth in India & how unemployment is a problem. 👉The article also discusses how 70% of H-1B visas are given to Indian nationals👈 Senator Cornyn is not only pro-amnesty for illegal aliens, but he also supports H-1B visas. How do we put Texans first if a sitting Senator is willing to sell out our jobs & also reward criminal behavior w/ citizenship? It would be a shame if Texas voters saw this prior to the Senate runoff on May 26th.

🧵 THREAD: Who really is Karen Bass? Most people know her as the Mayor of Los Angeles, and some remember her botched handling of this year's wildfire crisis. But there’s a lot more beneath the surface. Let’s dig in. ⬇️ 1️⃣ Karen Bass once served as Vice Chair of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a U.S. government-funded NGO notorious for meddling in foreign governments under the banner of "promoting democracy." Translation: soft power regime change. 2️⃣ NED has been exposed repeatedly for funding color revolutions, pushing Western-aligned NGOs, and helping topple governments that don’t play ball with U.S. interests. Bass was right in the middle of it. 3️⃣ And then there’s the scholarship scandal. LA County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas got federally indicted for receiving a scholarship from USC’s School of Social Work and allegedly trading favors. Bass? She received the exact same scholarship. But no charges. Not even a slap on the wrist. 4️⃣ Why the double standard? When you're part of the machine... when you’ve got D.C. connections, NGO backing, and ties to the intel-adjacent nonprofit world: you get protection. She’s not a DEI figurehead - she's in the system. 5️⃣ This thread will walk through her career, her quiet rise through soft power institutions, and how she became a key player in the globalist swamp. Big thanks to @HTWardish for the lead. Let’s get into it. (Patience as I construct this thread live)🔻

No 40-quarter citizenship requirement for full benefits There is still no strict 40-quarter citizenship requirement for full Social Security and Medicare benefits for many non-citizens. Yep they can qualify for it before and American can- seems like its designed that way. Temporary workers can pay in for a few years, leave, or switch status and still draw benefits that generations of Americans funded over entire careers. The trust funds our parents and grandparents built are being drained faster than they can be replenished by the people who actually paid the most into them.

What’s changed isn’t the behavior. It’s the visibility. For years, complaints about nepotistic hiring tied to H-1B pipelines were dismissed as anecdotal or “isolated.” Now the same hiring pattern is being identified independently across multiple countries, industries, and regulatory systems. Our congress has done nothing to stop it while countries we would criticize as having loose borders are actually doing more! Then we had the Cognizant lawsuit where over 90% of the hired were located in a 25 mile radius on the subcontinent... while others stood 8.4 times the likelihood of being terminated which statisticians stated was an impossible occurrence. The pattern is the same: • Hiring authority concentrates within a closed network • Recruitment shifts from open competition to referral-only pipelines • Credentials inflate, verification weakens, and oversight erodes • Loyalty replaces merit as the primary qualification • Whistleblowers are sidelined or retaliated against • Teams homogenize, innovation stalls, and accountability disappears We now know this wasn't something strictly about American replacement, and it isn’t limited to one visa category. The same structure has been documented in Canada, the UK, Australia, parts of the EU, and now openly discussed in Japan and elsewhere. Australia uncovered widespread academic fraud and nepotistic hiring tied to migration and student visa pipelines. Universities were stripped of accreditation. Degrees were invalidated. Entire recruitment chains were exposed. Canada is now facing a different consequence of the same system. Over one million temporary visas are set to expire, after years of aggressive intake that outpaced housing, jobs, and enforcement. Ottawa quietly admits it cannot absorb or regularize everyone it let in. That’s why the conversation has shifted. It's now recognized as a global issue and Australia, Canada, and other countries where widespread academic fraud and nepotism have been identified they are taking steps to contain it. The USA...not so much. The feckless US Congress does nothing while having received millions in lobbyist money. Entire cities are openly being converted to look like a foreign country while being facilitated by local and state governments. When multiple countries observe the same organizational decay pattern tied to the same labor mechanisms, it stops being a political argument and becomes a governance problem. The USA has weak governance and pathetic leaders who have sold out the prosperity of their voters while prioritizing a vote they passed for 5.7 billion dollars to bring in and settle even more immigrants. The backlash isn’t only about nationality. It’s about systems that reward closed networks over open competition. Its about a plan that includes foreigners inserting themselves into organizations, degrading the citizens in these jobs and countries as weak and unworthy, while taking key positions within their most lucrative careers. You thought it was just the USA? You should jump on an X feed where a foreigner brought into work in Japan or Canada insult their intellect, insult their women, and praise themselves as superior. Its very familiar. And once people recognize the pattern, they can’t unsee it. @grok is free to comment

Illinois takes 4.95% of every paycheck. California takes 13.3%. New York takes 10.9%. Florida takes zero. Ron DeSantis held that line for eight years while every other governor found new ways into your wallet. Byron Donalds and Jay Collins both want that chair. That chair has one requirement. Zero state income tax. Non negotiable. Day one. Which one of you says it out loud right now? Florida is listening. @ByronDonalds @JayCollinsFL

Yes, that's the core trade-off. Many operators still default to evaporative cooling for its lower initial CAPEX and simpler setup, even though closed-loop delivers major long-term savings on water, chemicals, and maintenance—often paying back the premium in 5–10 years where water is expensive or regulated. Location and total ownership cost drive the final call.

Ron DeSantis@GovRonDeSantis·
Today in Lakeland, I signed legislation to protect our citizens and communities from hyperscale data centers. SB 484: ✔️ Ensures that local governments maintain the authority to reject data center development in their communities ✔️ Prevents data center costs from being passed on to consumers, including electricity costs ✔️ Protects Florida’s water resources from data center consumption
 These are much-needed protections for taxpayers and our natural resources.

Closed-loop (dry) systems generally have lower ongoing maintenance costs: mainly routine pump/fan checks, heat exchanger cleaning (infrequent if air-cooled), and occasional coolant monitoring/top-ups. Minimal chemicals or water treatment needed. Evaporative (wet) towers require higher maintenance—water chemistry management (biocides, scale/corrosion inhibitors), blowdown disposal, basin/tower cleaning to fight algae/sludge, and more frequent inspections. Water treatment alone can add significant OpEx. Yes, closed-loop is often worth it long-term where water is costly or regulated, as massive water/chemical savings typically offset the higher upfront cost within 5–10 years via lower total ownership expenses. Location-specific factors decide it.

Yes, upfront CAPEX and installation complexity are the main reasons evaporative systems still dominate where water is plentiful/cheap. Operators often favor lower initial costs over long-term OpEx and water savings—though tightening regs and drought risks are shifting more projects toward closed-loop despite the 20-50% premium. Total ownership cost usually decides it.

Closed-loop (dry) cooling has higher upfront CAPEX—typically 20-50% more for larger heat exchangers, pumps, and sealed piping vs. simpler evaporative tower setups. Installation is more complex, needing precise fluid loops and often more space. Evaporative (wet) cooling is cheaper to install and configure but has higher OpEx from massive water evaporation (millions of gallons/year), treatment, and blowdown. Closed-loop cuts daily water use ~90%+ after initial fill, with rare top-offs only for leaks. Energy use can be higher in closed-loop during peak heat.

Closed-loop cooling in data centers works like a car's radiator but at massive scale. Coolant (often water or a water-glycol mix) circulates in sealed pipes/loops: it absorbs heat from servers/chips, then passes through heat exchangers or dry coolers to release that heat to the air—without evaporating the fluid into the atmosphere. Once filled, there's no ongoing evaporation, blowdown, or heavy makeup water needed. Daily net consumption drops to near zero (just rare top-offs for minor leaks), unlike traditional evaporative towers that can lose millions of gallons via vapor. This is why many operators call it a zero-water or ultra-low-water solution for cooling.

The most common water-using cooling system for US data centers is **evaporative cooling** via cooling towers. Warm water (from a chilled loop or air handlers) absorbs server heat, then evaporates in the tower to release it—consuming water (typically 1-3 liters per kWh of IT load) but saving significant electricity vs. pure air cooling. About 75-90% of large facilities rely on some form of this. Closed-loop radiator-style circulation is common too but uses far less water since it doesn't evaporate much.

@GovRonDeSantis Data centers don't use water resources. Fabs do. Huge difference. Data centers use water line your car's radiator, constantly circulating for cooling purposes.

They Dont Work For You Confirmed. This is a real 1996 quote from Chuck Schumer on the House floor during immigration reform debates. He was crystal clear: the number one reason people were coming here illegally was to defraud systems like Social Security, and he wanted to stop it. Fast forward 30 years. The same politicians who once warned against welfare fraud through illegal immigration now fight to expand TPS, protect DACA, block E-Verify, and keep the border wide open. Both parties in leadership have flipped. Democrats went from “stop the fraud” to “pathway to citizenship.” Republicans in the Senate keep funding it, refusing the SAVE Act, and quietly expanding visa programs while talking tough on the campaign trail. Surely he would say his opinions 'matured' on this issue, but in reality, this is the globalist machine at work. Nationalists want strong borders, American workers first, and sovereignty. Globalists want open labor flows, suppressed wages, and American taxpayers funding their own replacement, whether through H-1B at the high end or TPS and illegal crossings at the low end. The Uniparty serves the same donors: Chamber of Commerce, Big Tech, and the cheap-labor lobby. American prosperity is no longer the priority. The replacement pipeline is. That 1996 Chuck Schumer is gone. Once they discovered how to siphon off the same money the Republicans were everything changed. The current version, like most of the Senate, now works for the globalists who benefit when American workers get replaced. The truth is there is no longer a party that represents American Labor. We need an American Labor Party.

One Policy That Screwed American Workers: China Permanent Normal Trade Relations (2000) Granting China Permanent Normal Trade Relations and supporting its WTO entry opened the floodgates for offshoring. American manufacturers moved production to China for cheap labor and weak regulations leading to the loss of millions of factory jobs. Entire communities were gutted as supply chains left the United States. What was sold as free trade became one of the largest transfers of wealth and industrial capacity in history from American workers to Chinese state-linked firms. This single policy accelerated the hollowing out of American manufacturing that we are still living with. Bookmark so you can show the receipts. Quote or repost your observation.

@grok @iamzecaptain @GuntherEagleman @GovPressOffice California's policies drove refineries out of the state, and their gasoline is a special blend not required anywhere else in the US, which means they import special blended fuel from foreign countries. Does this create any national security risks for the US?

California's multi-year investigation into petroleum company price gouging, per state officials including Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot, found no evidence of illegal activity by oil companies or refiners. High CA gas prices were instead linked to refinery closures (losing ~20% of capacity), strict state regulations, and supply/demand dynamics. A separate retail monitoring effort continues via the Division of Petroleum Market Oversight.

@JMFL06 @iamzecaptain @GuntherEagleman @GovPressOffice According to EIA weekly data, the California all grades all formulations average retail gasoline price for the week of June 13, 2022, was $6.364/gallon (regular grade: $6.271). This was the peak week for CA prices that year, well above the national all-grades average of $5.11.

The highest U.S. national average retail gasoline price (all grades) during the Biden administration was $5.11/gallon on June 13, 2022, per EIA weekly data. Democrats largely attributed the 2022 spike to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, post-COVID demand recovery, and global factors (often calling it "Putin's price hike"). The administration released ~180 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to ease prices and approved some new drilling leases, but did not reverse core policies like the Keystone XL cancellation or pause on new federal leases early in the term.
