Pennsylvania has blocked the state's attempt to shut down Amos Miller's Farm.
Amos Miller, an Amish farmer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, had his farm raided by the Department of Agriculture earlier this year, seizing thousands of dollars' worth of food.
Yet, despite the raid, the government couldn't provide a single piece of evidence showing that anyone in Pennsylvania—or anywhere else—has ever been harmed by any of Amos Miller's products.
This is a powerful win for food freedom and the rights of farmers.

Every problem people have with data centers can be fixed in the legislature with three rules.
1. Mandate closed loop cooling systems (solves the water use problem).
2. Mandate setbacks and sound suppression when applicable (data centers are silent, but diesel generators are loud. This is easily solved.)
3. Require data centers build their own power plants and sell any surplus back to the grid wholesale OR, if using the local grid, require they pay for all upgrades and prevent power companies from treating the upgrades as infrastructure and spreading the cost over consumers.
If you do those three things, data centers are all upside. They become invisible money machines that turn land paying little to no property taxes into the highest commercial tier, sending millions of dollars in annual tax revenue to your town, with no increased road traffic, no new kids in the schools, no noise, no water consumption, and can lower your energy costs.
Three simple rules in the legislature is all it takes.
Interesting point. Worth noting that Trump is very likely our last boomer president, whatever comes next won't be defined by the postwar generation
It feels like the midterms ended the "Trump Era," and this is the real end of the 20th century.
Trump is the ultimate 20th century man: a boomer narcissist, real estate & casino & TV & golf guy, multiple wives & kids, oddly sincere with some values but also a total bullshitter. He's post-WW2 ethos played out to its fullest expression.
A new era is here, no one knows whats coming, but it's going to be different.
The End of "The End of History."
I'm long term very optimistic, but also as I've been telling you all for years: this transition is going to be EXTREMELY PAINFUL for most people.
Very few are ready, and even the ones ready don't know what's going to happen.
H/t to @rizomaschool @blockhead4000 for the idea.

This Maryland blocked data center story is interesting.
The land for the proposed $5B data center was empty, unused 90 acres that was a *mall 24 years ago* - right up against 495 - one of the busiest freeways in the region.
The county already has huge revenue problems - they just lost a Six Flags, they lost the Commanders to DC...
And the woman leading the fight against the Data Center is also asking local government to fund things like roof repairs on her father's house..
But they don't have enough money coming in... because they block things like data centers.

Voters: We just want normal
Biden: I’m the next FDR
Voters: how about a normal economy
Trump: I’ll throw the system of global trade into chaos and annex Greenland
Voters: Normal. All we ask
Democrats: Show trials for billionaires and massive new entitlements

The “Prima Ballerina” fountain is located in Kościuszko Square in the town of Poddębice, Poland. This extraordinary work of art was created by sculptor Małgorzata Chodakowska, who is renowned for combining bronze and water as equally important artistic materials.
The installation features three slender ballerina figures, with water flowing from their waists to form delicate, flowing skirts that appear to billow gracefully in the breeze.

I was usually the ONLY WOMAN in my convoy in Afghanistan. Not only was I a military police team leader, I was the one who searched the Afghan women.
Those women told me things their husbands never would. They also told me things they wouldn't tell their husbands. They let me hold their babies and talk to their kids. These women had NO voice in that country. No rights. They were men's property.
40 months in a Muslim country taught me this: Sharia doesn't "coexist." It TAKES. And here in the USA, it will take from women FIRST.
Ladies, it starts with your voice. DO NOT hand it over. It wasn't very long ago at all that we fought for and WON our freedom here in America. We owe it to our daughters not to go backwards. 🇺🇸🪖
I'm mostly just surprised Salon has only been around 30 years, I legit thought it was one of those old magazines everybody pretends is important but nobody actually reads, like The Atlantic or Vanity Fair

People keep arguing about this - it's not the war, per se. Americans by and large dont GAF if we bomb some shitheads on the other side of the world. Literally every president does it, every year. We'll cheer it, make t-shirts and shit, so long as it doesn't actually affect us.

But the downstream effects - most noticeably gas prices - along with the obvious lack of a coherent plan and gaslighting that it's all 4D chess - that we've already won, or are winning, or will win (whatever that even means at this point) is too much.

The path back to victory for the right is to be normal and win back the “just want to grill” constituency.
This is why out of all American right wing political figures of the past few years my favourite to emerge is @spencerpratt.
He was just a normal guy who had his life destroyed by corrupt and insane far-left politics. He just wants normal things, like not having insane mentally ill zombies running around in public torturing dogs, camping next to schools, defecating in public, lighting people on fire, etc. He just wants sound public administration rather than billions incinerated in NGO fraud.
The side that is more “normal” wins. People don’t want scary chuds posting about turning America into a dictatorship, crossing the Rubicon, killing enemies, etc. You have to be normal.
Democrat policies on crime and immigration and nationhood are not normal. The de facto outcome of their policies is having mentally insane hobos torturing dogs, camping next to schools, defecating in public, lighting people on fire. So it should be easy to be normal than them.
They won this time because their candidates had perfect message discipline, like Messi-level performances. Talarico previously called God non-binary and said that white skin was a virus. He didn’t talk like that to win Texas. He presented himself as normal. They had perfect message discipline, but if you look at their histories, a lot of their leading candidates said psycho and insane stuff just 4 or 5 years ago.
You have to be normal-maxing.
Exit polls show that Republicans still have a commanding lead with voters on issues like crime and immigration. These are the two issues to focus on. Deliver results with competence. Instead of posting scary memes on the Department of Homeland Twitter page and prioritising high visibility raids, do smart policy like focusing on the employers who use illegal immigrant labour. Just normal-max and competency-max. Stop saying crazy things like conquering Greenland etc. Normalcy max and competency max. Ban all insider trading and stock trading when it comes to Congress and the executive branch. Zero tolerance for petty corruption and be normal and don’t freak people out.
Abdul El-Sayed had to say over and over again that he was a capitalist to win. So anti-communism is still popular. Nationhood and public order and safety are still popular.
I post about Lee Kuan Yew because he did competent, high IQ, high human capital Actually Existing Rightism. A kind of “Dark Abundance” which mixes together the Ezra Klein vision of Abundance (completely dead on arrival in today’s Democratic Party) with knuckleduster approach to crime and anarchy and riots and chaos.
Zero tolerance for corruption, zero tolerance for crime, strong emphasis on public safety and order, massive emphasis on national unity and assimilation within a multi-ethnic society. It worked. The model works and anybody can pick it up and run with it if you are smart.
