US Communism Rising Again
-
Communism is like a persistent cancer: active, then dormant, then active again until it permeates and takes over the host!

Bishop Barron warns communism ‘making a comeback’ in America ahead of Fulton Sheen beatification
Barron urged Catholic leaders to follow Sheen's example and speak out against the ideology's re-emergence in America
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bishop-barron-warns-communism-making-comeback-america-ahead-fulton-sheen-beatification
As tens of thousands are expected to gather in St. Louis on Thursday for Archbishop Fulton Sheen's beatification, one church leader is sounding the alarm on the rise of communism in America and urging Catholics to embrace the late archbishop's fierce opposition to the ideology.
-
In an exclusive video obtained by Fox News Digital, Bishop Robert Barron, bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester in Minnesota and founder of Word on Fire Ministries, hails Sheen as "one of the great voices against communism in mid-20th century America," a message he says remains relevant today.
-
"Now, you don't need me to tell you that communism is making a comeback right now in our country," Barron said in front of the Gateway Arch on Tuesday.

France late to the game, but, better late than never.
France finally woke-up and discovered where its oil comes from and that, IF they want to continue to get it, they should be proactively helping to protect their supply!

GOP Leadership In DEI
-
DEI is an organizational framework designed to promote the fair treatment, representation, and full participation of all people,
To the Democrat’s chagrin, the Republicans have become the real valid promoters of DEI
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
A prime example is real-women’s sports that has been under intense attack by the ProvdaMedia and Democrats and nonBinary actors.

Starbucks resolves Florida DEI lawsuit with blockbuster agreement
The coffee giant will pay $1M and submit annual compliance certifications for four years under the agreement
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/starbucks-resolves-florida-dei-lawsuit-blockbuster-nationwide-agreement
"Every Floridian deserves to be hired, promoted and compensated based on merit, qualifications and character — not race or sex," Uthmeier told Fox News Digital. "This resolution ensures that Starbucks’ policies and practices fully comply with Florida’s civil rights laws. DEI can never be an excuse to violate civil rights."
The negotiated resolution ends the lawsuit Uthmeier filed in December 2025 accusing Starbucks of violating the Florida Civil Rights Act through racial and sex-based goals, quotas and preferences in its workplace policies.

Interesting how “Civil Rights” now applies to everyone and not just to so called “protected classes”!

Roanoke County Data Center
-
The Proposed Roanoke County Data Center, Wood Haven Technology Park near the intersection of 81 & 581, appears to be “drawing less fire” than some of the others in the Region.
Perhaps taxpaying residents are interested in replacing the tax-base lost when GE left.
Perhaps it’s because the location does not seem a threat to most residents.
Perhaps its because Roanoke County has fewer hyper-residents.
Perhaps residents are OK with their elected representatives managing the project.
Perhaps none of the above
At any rate, it appears the project is being taken seriously by the Town Fathers who have been exploring the plusses and minuses.
Also, it appears that the local media is Not leading a “lynch-mob” but seem focused on facts and reason and a recognition of potential major tax relief and jobs in an area that needs both.

The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors heard the financial benefits of a potential data center project at Wood Haven Technology Park during its meeting Tuesday, after it was officially announced that the land was intended for data center development.
The Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority — which was formed by several localities, including Roanoke County and the cities of Roanoke and Salem — voted to authorize the sale of land at the park earlier this month, and speculation spread that it was slated for a data center. On Tuesday morning, the authority confirmed that the buyer, Clearview Dynamics LLC, was evaluating the property with the intent of constructing a data center.

Wood Haven land to be developed for a data center, regional group says
https://roanoke.com/news/local/business/development/article_dd556af8-c460-407f-8c9b-084ca79388e8.html
The Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority confirmed it intends for the land at the Wood Haven Technology Park to be developed into a data center Tuesday, following calls for transparency.
“It’s very early in the process,” said John Hull, the executive director of the WVRIFA. “A lot of the questions that you have and your readers will have will be defined in the due
diligence process, as a result of talking with utility partners and understanding what the capacities are and what connections are needed for the use.
“In some ways, we couldn’t be communicating any earlier about this project than we are. You might say that we could be better served to have those answers before we communicate.”

2,000 US Gold Medals To XYs Playing As XXs
-
Apparently allowing men-XY to compete against women-XX does have results – for the XYs, not so much for the XXs.
Certainly, wipes out the Title-9 advances women had achieved.
It’s Not just sports metals and achievement – it’s scholarships and education opportunity.

Over 2,000 gold medals later: How biological males are rewriting women’s sports records
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/sep/23/study-men-won-massive-medals-cash-female-sports/
Trans-identifying men have won at least 2,293 gold medals participating in women’s and girls’ sports in the U.S., a new study from a conservative organization found.
The Concerned Women for Research compiled data from the organization He Cheated, which tracks male athletic wins in female sports.
The data showed males who identify as females have not only won the big haul of gold medals, but have also collected $501,498 in prize money from women in professional sports.

NYT-AMA Turmoil Over Child Sex Mutilations
-
The NYT and other media pronounced last week that the AMA had issued new guidance that sex-change surgeries for youths should be delayed to legal adulthood ie: 18.
-
Apparently, those so called “physicians” that feed off sexually mutilating children went ballistic claiming that the AMA had Not changed their policy that child sex mutilation is OK as long as an AMA doctor is making money doing it!
-
Example of exchanges:
American Medical Association Says NYT Mischaracterized Its Position on Gender-Affirming Care
https://www.them.us/story/american-medical-association-says-nyt-mischaracterized-its-position-on-gender-affirming-care
Representatives for the Times, in turn, responded to Aizuss on Friday, claiming that his newsletter was “not based in fact” and “contradicts the AMA’s own statements.” Prior to the February article, an AMA spokesperson allegedly said in a statement that “[i]n the absence of clear evidence, the AMA agrees with ASPS that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.” The Times concluded that “no update or correction to either [article] is necessary.”

Sporting SemiAutomatic Guns 126-Years Old
-
The anti-gun elements, supported by the liberal media, continue to purposely confuse the public with false claims, one of which, is the myth that semiautomatic guns are equivalent to ‘machine guns and spray bullets like in a ‘tommy-gun Al Capone movie’.
The reality is that semiautomatic gun’s fire one-shot at-a-time with each trigger pull.
-
Some perspective:
-
The media and their antigun associates constantly paint semitauonic guns as some new evil invention that must be immediately banned and burned.
Reality is that Browning introduced the semiautomatic shotgun 126-years ago and it became a major sporting gun in US.
Browning Auto-5, designed by John Browning in 1898 and patented in 1900, is widely recognized as the world's first successful, mass-produced semi-automatic sporting gun.

https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/olympic-swimmer-reka-gyorgy-calls-virginia-governor-spanberger-withdrawing-female-sports-regulation
Hungarian Olympian Réka György, who lost a place in an NCAA swimming final after competing against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, criticized Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s administration for abandoning a proposed regulation intended to protect female sports and private spaces.
György was one of three female swimmers who petitioned the Virginia Board of Health to enact the regulation last year. The board unanimously approved the petition under former Gov. Glenn Youngkin, but the regulatory action was withdrawn in July after Spanberger took office.

Mahjong The Jewish Ladies Game Migrated South
-
Mahjong’s Lynchburg boom is about more than the game
https://roanoke.com/news/state-regional/article_0ade46ef-9b1e-5766-9707-03a407f0f1dc.html#tracking-source=home-the-latest
Mahjong is taking the world by storm — or at least it is in Lynchburg.
The centuries-old tile game has found a growing audience in the Hill City, where local organizers say interest has continued to climb as more people discover the combination of strategy, competition and perhaps most importantly, community that comes with sitting around a mahjong table.
-
-
Not clear how such an exhaustive article did not mention the Jewish history of the game.
My exposure to Mahjong started circa 1940s in the Catskills in which Jewish ladies, who were escaping NYC summer heat, before widespread air-conditioning, were playing Mahjong (Mah Jongg) as a prime pastime activity.
It was viewed locally as The Jewish Ladies Game.
Mahjong became a beloved cultural tradition for Jewish-American women after the game arrived in the U.S. in the 1920s.

The $17-BILLION Nanny-State Ransom

Lawmakers, parents call Meta settlement ‘first step’ to protecting kids online, urge Congress to act --- (REALLY?)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/aug/26/lawmakers-parents-call-meta-settlement-first-step-protecting-kids/
The settlement forces Meta to pay up to $17.1 billion to the dozens of states that brought the lawsuit. It also requires the company to implement key design changes to its social media platforms, Instagram and Facebook, to reduce compulsive use that has contributed to youth mental health challenges.
“While this is a landmark settlement, Congress still needs to step up and regulate Big Tech,” said D-Sen. Richard J Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.
-
-
Why isn’t a “Responsible First-Step” Parental Responsibility & Ownership?
Apparently, there is No longer parental responsibility in the US.
Starting with infants in Child Care and youngsters in Day Care there isn’t any parental oversight or responsibility in today’s ‘nuclear-family’.
Rental-school people are carrying young students to abortions and castrations without concerning the parents with the acts or details.

Parents waited till they were 45 to have the kids because they were very busy and now there’s even less time to be real parents.
And then there’s the pandemic of children with “issues” that no one wants to blame on the 45-year-old eggs and tired-sperm; more than twice the age folks used to have healthy children, even without modern science.

Roanoke Times More Gross Bias
-
This week a car was driven directly toward a Roanoke police officer.
The officer shot the driver.
Roanoke Times was perfectly OK that officer shooting was found by police to be justified!
No chaos – no riots – no media circus – no need for officer-imprisonment!
https://roanoke.com/news/local/crime-courts/article_b9289637-2f0c-4069-af20-01720af54649.html

Compare that process and coverage to:
-
-
In Jan a car was driven directly toward a Federal ICE police officer.
The vehicle actually hit the officer.
The officer shot the driver thru the windshield – the vehicle continued.
The PravdaMedia declared the Federal police officer was a criminal!
There were ongoing investigations and chaos by state and federal units.
Media and others labeled the ICE officer a criminal and murderer.
https://abc11.com/post/minneapolis-ice-shooting-community-edge-fatal-woman-federal-immigration-officer/18371827/
-
-
The PravdaMedia’s lack of fairness permeates almost every incident they cover.
The comparison and characterization of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by a federal immigration officer with the Roanoke police shooting of Larry Cooper is yet another example of grossly biased processes and biased media coverage.
It’s Not about the News or Law -- it’s all about the Politics!
Little wonder the Roanoke Times is on death-bed oxygen.

The AI Fix Is In
-
A small number of players have cornered the US AI-game and have played the Media and Stock Market like violin players to relative-heights not seen since 1939.
Never have so few gained so much for so little product performance so far.
-
Now they are bringing forward scare tactics that is overshadowing both the nuclear weapons and the nuclear power hysteria of my youth.
-
It’s as if HG Wells was replaying the “1938 War of the World” again on every US TV (was Radio) with the associated-resultant fear and panic and hysteria.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_War_of_the_Worlds_(1938_radio_drama)
In that case it was a theatrical hit by Wells for notoriety and personal fame
Today it appears there are extended and major devious and self-serving motivations.
-
Suppose back in the 1930’s the five leading car makers had told congress that their products were potentially dangerous. That soon their products would kill 50,000 and injure 250,000 American’s each year --- and that the avoidance answer would be for a set of laws-rules to be worked out by them and enacted by Congress to avoid that looming tragedy
The legislation enacted would have the results:
1. The accidents and injuries happened anyway and the real product safety didn’t materialize
2. The gang-of-five cemented their monopoly on the industry under the blanket of US Law
-
It’s interesting how claiming government enacted laws solve all problems, flies in the face of reality and history.
It’s also interesting how very smart greedy men can conjure up scenarios to use the government power for their own ends.
-
Stopping the US expedited development of the nuclear bomb would Not have stopped development of nuclear weapons and rockets by Others and could have become a devastating weapon used again US with unknown outcomes.
We remember who Von Braun and Heisenberg were working for and who they would have been working for if we didn’t kidnap them and their teams.

Illegal Immigrants And Their Democrat Exploiters
-
A key part of the Illegal Immigrant Game is that they are counted in the census and that data is used to send your federal tax dollars to cities to support the illegals!
Little wonder the Democrats love them in-spite-of the crime and chaos.
-
The Uglier part: the data is also used to determine who gets ‘how many’ Congressmen!
If you ever wondered why the Democrats are fighting tooth & nail to support Illegal Immigration and why they threw the borders open -- now you know!

-
The Trump administration is proposing a dramatic overhaul of the once-a-decade U.S. Census head count that could leave out millions of immigrants based on status and key racial and ethnic data, jeopardizing the allocation of resources and the country’s voting map.
-
The potential changes, announced Wednesday, would exclude undocumented immigrants, asylum seekers and anyone without permanent status. Certain demographic questions from the traditional questionnaire would also be eliminated.

RFK.Jr Apparently Not A Wacko
-
Listening to RFK.Jr’s speech at the Trump Convention made it impossible to buy into the Democrat and PravdaMedia storyline that RFK.Jr is a Wacko. Their motivation is clearly in response to a member of the Kennedy family, giving up on the Socialist-Democrat Party and joining the Republican Party.
-
Unfortunately, he has significant speech issues that can detract from his messaging But clearly his messages are forceful and meaningful and put asunder many of the slings and arrows launched against him.
-
He and JFK are clearly much closer to the current Republican creed and mantra than they are to the current majority of the Democrat Leadership of today who are embracing socialism if not communism.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., were lambasted Friday for appearing to share a moment of levity at the 9/11 Memorial in lower Manhattan during the solemn reading-of-the-names of victims.
-
Mamdani was already facing criticism from some 9/11 victims’ families over his attendance when a television feed showing the reading of victims’ names cut from a young man sobbing at the memorial to the mayor and congresswoman appearing to grin and laugh as they spoke, though their conversation was inaudible.

Lindsay Clancy Jurors Vote Killing Not Murder

Three Lindsay Clancy Jurors Speak Out
https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2026/09/08/clancy-jurors-speak-out-n2206659
The three unnamed women spoke of their frustrations with the lone male juror who refused to agree with the other eleven on acquitting Clancy (finding her not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility (i.e., insanity)). Clancy admitted to killing her three young children – 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan in January 2023, but claimed she was profoundly mentally ill at the time.
-
It was revealed by the Boston reporter who interviewed the women that the jury, which was made up of nine women and three men, was stacked with teachers and nurses, and the 11 who voted to acquit were miffed that the holdout "had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children."

Ongoing WSJ AntiTrump Vendetta Comes To Boons Mill
-
Somehow, I was under the impression that the WSJ should be proBusiness and proBusinessman – apparently that’s a totally wrong assumption!
They certainly hate Trump who has been one of the most prolific NYC businessman and builders in history.
Their latest antiTrump-Jihad was to travel down to Boones Mill Virginia (population 259) (473-miles from NYC) to visit Whitey Taylor’s ‘Trump Store’ with a keen focus on the Trump Campaign Paraphernalia that’s not selling as well now as when he was running for office in 2024.

Appomattox $3-BILLION = $3,000,000,000 Data Center
-
The Appomattox County Board of Supervisors on Monday voted to approve a “performance agreement” with the developer of a proposed data center project on nearly 450 acres of land in the county.
-
Was famous: Appomattox, the place Grant and Lee met to end the War Between The States.
Now famous: The place a massive Data Center will bring jobs and massive Tax Relief to Appomattox County taxpayers whose property values recently jumped (before the data center issues) over 52%, new tax rate set for 2027.
-
The county now going forward “could easily forgive” private property taxes and sales, food, entertainment and vehicle taxes.

-
The board’s action came after the Appomattox County Economic Development Authority reached an agreement with the data center developer, AVAIO Digital, in December 2024 to build the data center at 267 Industrial Park Lane, about a mile north of the town of Appomattox.

Labor Day 9-7-2026
-
American Labor Day is a celebration of workers and their contributions to their families, industries and country.
“Labor” became a major component of societies as a result of the Industrial Revolution and the major migration from rural areas to urban cities and the growth of Labor Unions.
-
-
This year there is extra joy in Labor Day based on the record employment in the US!
Jobless Claims Plunge Back To Historic Lows, Best Year-To-Date Since 1969
Last week’s figure is extremely low by historical standards. Excluding instances earlier this year, claims have only been this low in 3.5 percent of all the weeks of data going back to 1967. There were no instances of jobless claims being this low between 1970 and 2018.
-
Spamburger’s Democrat team has been notable so far with an increasing rate of job losses in Virginia:

Jobless Claims Plunge Back To Historic Lows, Best Year-To-Date Since 1969
https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2026/08/27/jobless-claims-plunge-back-to-historic-lows-best-year-to-date-since-1969/
Jobless Claims Plunge Back To Historic Lows, Best Year-To-Date Since 1969
The number of new applications for unemployment benefits dropped down to 203,000 last week
Initial claims for jobless benefits have been extraordinarily low for most of this year, a testament to the strength of the labor market and the resilience of the economy. Even a jump in oil prices following the start of the fighting with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has not caused employers to reconsider their payroll levels.

Virginia’s Spamburger Major Job Losses
-
Spamburger’s Democrat team has been notable so far with an increasing rate of job losses in Virginia:
18,050 this year, 7,650 more than the 10,400 lost last year!
As jobs Go so goes tax revenue and economic stability.
Not to worry about jobs, Spamburger’s big on shielding illegal aliens and embracing socialistic programs – who needs jobs when we have lots of welfare and more government spending and taxing!
-
-
-
“Virginia’s job losses are accelerating, economic report says. Data center construction may be propping up (helping) the economy.
https://cardinalnews.org/2026/09/03/virginias-job-losses-are-accelerating-economic-report-says-data-center-construction-may-be-propping-up-the-economy/
Much of the state’s economic growth is tied to data centers, so any slowdown in data centers — which is already happening in the form of piecemeal moratoriums could also reduce Virginia’s already-weak economic growth.
-
Virginia is still on track for two straight years of job losses, with job losses this year likely to come in at 18,050. That’s definitely higher than the 10,400 that the Bureau of Labor Statistics says it lost last year.”

first degree murder and supported criminal justice on behalf of the deceased.
Our new society is now OK with blatant first-degree murder and now

Franklin County Va Supervisors Maligned Over DataCenters
-
A very nasty Franklin County person “anonymously and falsely” accused two county elected supervisors of felonies in their conduct of office,
to wit: considering applications for potential new businesses seeking accommodations in the existing county business park on Rt 220.
A Commonwealth attorney investigated and found NO Grounds for charges or admonitions.
It is unconscionable that someone can file major formal criminal complaints anonymously.
Hopefully this person will be quickly unmasked and lawsuits filed against him/her for libel and slander.
-
This person ”presumably” is opposing the County Board of Supervisors even reviewing proposals for data centers for the vastly under-utilized County Business Park on Rt 220 that would bring jobs and massive tax relief to the county residents and businesses.
What a contrast to the major efforts in Botetourt County where plans and proposals are being seriously considered and implemented:

Is Virginia AG Jones Abetting Crimes?
-
Is not aiding and abetting a criminal – a crime? Is not shielding and harboring a criminal – a crime?
Are these not both State & Federal crimes?

It's Not just about "Accountability" it's about "Compliance"!

Virginia AG Launches Office To Protect Illegals And Bureaucrats From Federal Accountability
https://thefederalist.com/2026/08/27/virginia-ag-launches-office-to-protect-illegals-and-bureaucrats-from-federal-accountability/

On the same day Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced a successful operation to arrest more than 1,300 illegal aliens throughout Virginia and Maryland, Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones launched a legal team to stop federal activity in the commonwealth.
-
Jones’ “Legal Unit to Confront Unprecedented Trump Administration Overreach” covers more than just immigration enforcement, and will insert itself into issues including “federal funding, elections, healthcare, immigration, environmental protections, consumer issues, constitutional rights, tariffs and other economic policies, and the continuing fallout from DOGE’s cuts to the federal workforce.”

CIA Chief To Moscow – Really!

Dolly Parton, who rose from humble beginnings to the greatest heights of American music and became one of the country’s most philanthropic, unifying and beloved stars, died Tuesday in Nashville, according to a family statement. She was 80.
The statement said Parton died “peacefully.” A small, private service will be held for her close family, the statement added.
Parton died “after bravely facing a brief battle with cancer,” her publicist Marcel Pariseau later said.

Voting Integrity: Reigning-In Mail-Ins And Street Boxes
-
The SCOTUS sided with voting-integrity and allowed common-sense limits and boundaries to be placed on mail-in ballots. The Postal Service is documenting the guidelines and rules that will apply.
Next, the on-the-street ballot-boxes need to be either manned with proper procedures, same as polling locations, or they need to be banned!
I’ve voted for 67-years and can’t believe the fraud-prone rules the Democrats have sprung upon the process in many states in the last 20-years!

Trump scores Supreme Court win on mail-in voting restrictions before midterms
The Supreme Court allowed the Trump admin to enforce revised mail-ballot restrictions
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-scores-supreme-court-win-mail-in-voting-restrictions-before-midterms
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a victory on Monday, allowing it to enforce President Donald Trump’s "election integrity" executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of the November midterms.
The high court lifted an injunction that had blocked the order in 23 states that challenged it after the administration appealed in July.
The U.S. Postal Service and Justice Department said they would immediately implement the revised mail-ballot restrictions after the ruling.

The U.S. Postal Service and Justice Department said they would immediately implement the revised mail-ballot restrictions after the ruling.

Talk about voting abuse right here in River City:
-
In Roanoke, 2017, where there are 40,000 total voters (well over half are Democrats), the Democrat Party "Insiders" choose a “Fire House Primary” with only ONE voting location for the entire City.
Only 3,027 voters voted and Lea won by 134 votes.
Talk about voter suppression and denial of voting rights!

Minnesota’s Sad Slide Into Islamism
-
Minnesota was a destination for Scandinavians during the major migration from 1850s to 1920s, a time of stress from population growth and agricultural shortfalls.
Once here many were inducted into the Democrat parties New Deal promises.
Fast forward to 2000 when the decision was made to locate Somalian Immigrants to the Minneapolis area. The result was Not assimilation but self-motivated segregation in which nonMuslims left the cities and Muslim clerics, and Sharia Law took over.
Currently Minnesota is racked with massive fraud investigations, a state government compromised by questionable characters and extreme-left-wing politicians.

Klobuchar's fraud fight claim takes hit after GOP opponent combs through receipts: 'Where were you?'
The Minnesota gubernatorial candidate issued no releases on the $250M scandal despite campaigning on rooting out fraud
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/klobuchar-fraud-fight-claim-takes-hit-gop-opponent-combs-receipts-where-were-you
The $250 million Feeding Our Future scandal, that has ballooned into an overall social services scandal that prosecutors say could total over $9 billion, broke in late January of 2022. In more than 1,000 press releases from Klobuchar’s office from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2025, the Feeding our Future scandal was not mentioned in Klobuchar’s releases, nor were the terms "Minnesota fraud," "social services fraud," "Medicaid fraud," "autism fraud," "Housing Stabilization Services," "child nutrition fraud," "DHS fraud," or "nonprofit fraud."

New Yorkers take Zohran Mamdani free bus promise literally as MTA loses millions in skipped fares
Bus fare collections drop $31M as transit bosses warn high-earning commuters pass costs to taxpayers
https://www.foxnews.com/media/new-yorkers-take-zohran-mamdani-free-bus-promise-literally-mta-loses-millions-skipped-fares
The MTA reported that paid bus ridership fell nearly 8% in June compared to the same month last year. During Mamdani’s first six months in office, bus fare revenue fell by $31 million compared to the first half of 2025. Agency estimates show nearly half of bus riders now skip the $3 fare.

Franklin Co Data Center Shredded
-
Apparently, Franklin Co Va has just set a record for government sensitivity to minority public opinion and intimidation.
Approximately 200 residents out of 55,000 coerced the county board to stop the exploration of a potential data center opportunity for the industrial park that was built several years ago, at major taxpayer expense, and has scant commercial occupancy nor tax base.
Perhaps Franklin Co could revitalize their ”downgraded Shine Industry” to help subsidize the ever-increasing tax burden on property and homes and small-business owners.
Not clear what’s the view of the other 99.6% of the residents who didn’t yet have a dog in the fight but are paying for lots of dog food.

Board of Supervisors member: Resignation was meeting-time decision over data center announcement
https://www.wdbj7.com/2026/08/19/board-supervisors-member-resignation-was-meeting-time-decision-over-data-center-announcement/
(WDBJ) - Franklin County Board of Supervisors Member Mike Meredith was not planning to resign as he entered Tuesday night’s board meeting, Meredith told WDBJ7. He made the decision during discussions at the meeting with the board.
Meredith tells WDBJ7 he abruptly resigned from his position on the board Tuesday night after learning information he had released over the weekend was supposed to be confidential.
“I didn’t want to be the reason Franklin County wouldn’t be attractive to any new businesses or any growth because of knowing you got somebody who could not keep the trust of keeping the information of closed meetings.”
The resignation took place just two days after Meredith told reporters and a crowd that a proposed data center project would not be moving forward.

Franklin Co. Data Center Ongoing
-
Franklin Co. Data Center Ongoing
-
Franklin County has so far missed the massive new-business development funding committed to the Martinsville and Danville areas that will provide jobs and employment there and add millions to the ongoing tax receipts.
Franklin County has the continued dependency of taxes targeted on local businesses and homeowners to pay for schools and county services and has limited new job opportunities.
The Franklin County economic development entities, including the County Board, are working diligently with potential candidates to explore the feasibility of utilizing the Rt. 220 Business Park in which Franklin County has invested heavily.

Some local entities are opposing this activity with dubious methods including chaos at public meetings and spurious and vicious personal attacks reminiscent of the lead-up-to implementation of critically needed planning, zoning and subdivision rules adjoining Smith Mountain Lake.
-
Hopefully the Franklin County community and government will embrace the exploration of Data Center opportunities and if appropriate embrace them.

Impacts of possible Franklin County data center the topic of Sunday meeting
What are impacts of a possible Franklin County data center?
-
Vocal disapproval from the community has come in person and online. At last month's county board of supervisors meeting, more than 200 residents attended to criticize the actions of their representatives.
-
At 3 p.m. Sunday, many of those same local residents will be hosting a community meeting at the Scruggs Volunteer Fire Department in Moneta. Christine Sizemore with the Franklin County Community Coalition said the meeting will give residents the opportunity to share what they know about the proposed data center and also discuss next steps.
-
The secrecy around a potential data center in Franklin County is most likely due to the rules when it comes to bringing businesses to the county-owned Summit View Business Park.
Franklin County, like others in Virginia negotiating bringing businesses to industrial parks, often sign nondisclosure agreements that prevent information getting out to the public. Documents released through FOIA requests reveal that Franklin County staff is under an NDA related to Project Flash, preventing any discussion with the public.
-
Franklin County Economic Development Director Danielle Poe said the county works with partners such as the Roanoke Regional Partnership and the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to assist in connecting with potential businesses for Summit View. She added that potential businesses ask for an NDA as part of negotiations, sometimes established between partners before even connecting with Franklin County.
-
"Most projects are going to ask for an NDA before they would share any specific information," Poe said.
-
Large-scale businesses will often look at potential industrial parks around the state for one that fits specific criteria they have. Many discussions with potential businesses don't go beyond the initial stage, Poe said, as Summit View may not fit what they need.
-
"Typically you will know a broad stroke of the type of industry, but you don't know any of the specifics," she said. "If we were to make it past a certain point, they are going to start asking for additional information on the site. So then you start having more targeted conversations about what their needs are and what we can fulfill based on those needs."
-
With potential businesses working with the VEDP, Poe said confidentiality is required throughout the recruitment process. If a company selects Franklin County, no public announcement can be made until the governor's office issues an official project announcement. Following the announcement, county supervisors consider any required performance agreement and related public actions during an open meeting.

FBI touts 6,000 arrests, 44% homicide drop one year into Trump's DC crime crackdown
FBI Director Kash Patel says the capital is safer than it has been in decades thanks to the federal enforcement surge
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-touts-6000-arrests-44-homicide-drop-one-year-trumps-dc-crime-crackdown
-
The FBI on Tuesday marked the first anniversary of the Trump administration's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., touting thousands of arrests and seizures since the enhanced federal enforcement effort began.
-
The milestone comes one year after President Donald Trump launched the Safe and Beautiful initiative in Washington, increasing the federal law enforcement presence and deploying hundreds of federal agents and National Guard troops to combat crime in the nation's capital.
-
"Last summer, President Trump made the historic decision to surge federal resources to Washington D.C. to crack down on crime – and thanks to his brilliant leadership, the work of brave FBI agents and our law enforcement partners, and the support of our Justice Department, our nation’s capital is now safer than it’s been in decades," FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital.

Smithsonian Woke Racial Agenda
-
Why are we not surprised that government-entity administrators are Woke-Democrats with an AntiAmerican agenda.
The “Democrat” connection is interesting – after all – who kept Black people in slavery and then under their thumb from 1865 Civil War End to 1964’s Civil Rights Act!!!
-
Apparently, the administrators at the Smithsonian in DC have cleverly biased numerous historical displays to emphasize the American negatives at the expense of highlighting the positives.
This is now in the public domain and media and Congressional hearings.
Hopefully bright lights will bring fairness and balance and the greatness of America will outshine the blemishes and negatives.

Historical Note for the Smithsonian archivists: Approximately 360,000 Union (Yankee) soldiers died during the American Civil War to free Black people.

University Freshmen In ‘Mental Health Crisis’ – Really?
-
It is difficult to process what is going on at the University of Michigan.
Apparently, the University has declared that incoming freshmen are too mentally unstable or immature or something to enter the academic competition of college.
What a pathetic and sad assessment of the top US high school graduates.
They should be confronting the administration for belittling and marginalizing them.
What are the football coaches doing with their freshmen player candidates?
Hasn’t US college been an academic competition since Harvard started in 1636?
At my first day at Rutgers in 1956 the Provost addressed the freshmen class with:
“Look to your right, look to your left – those students will be gone when you graduate!”
And they were! It was a self-fulfilling prophesy since the number of rooms, seats and professors were sized to that attrition declaration.
No one stood-up and declared they were too fragile to be in a competitive endeavor.
Our class included over a dozen Korean War Vets on GI-Bill --- don’t remember any of them requesting less academic competition because of what they had experienced – on the contrary – they were serious and outstanding.

University of Michigan Drops First-Semester Grades to ‘Curb Mental Health Crisis’
A pilot program aims to ease pressure on freshmen and help them adjust to demands of college
The University of Michigan will drop grades for first-semester freshmen next year in an effort to “curb the mental health crisis unfolding among college-aged individuals,” according to the school.
-
-
University of Michigan freshmen won't see first-semester grades on transcripts thanks to a new policy
The University of Michigan says the pilot will give first-year students time to adjust to college without early grades affecting their GPAs or external transcripts.

“Look to your right, look to your left – those students will be gone when you graduate!”
And they were! It was a self-fulfilling prophesy since the number of rooms, seats and professors were sized to that attrition declaration.
No one stood-up and declared they were too fragile to be in a competitive endeavor.
Our class included over a dozen Korean War Vets on GI-Bill --- don’t remember any of them requesting less academic competition because of what they had experienced – on the contrary – they were serious and outstanding.

AOC Counting Her Eggs
.
AOC’s current media-hype is publicizing her ongoing egg harvesting and future artificial insemination process.
This is gross pathetic pandering given the seriousness for women who have and are using this process as the last alternative to having a very wanted child.
-
Conceiving and birthing children is a very serious and personal issue and should Not be marginalized and exploited by a politician like AOC who is all about hype and show and Not about substance.
-
Not clear if her 'brother-husband' will be the sperm doner or if she’ll expand the family-DNA map; perhaps a lottery is in order.
