Pollsters are finding that swing voters are increasingly worried about a trending issue that's being overlooked.Sarah Longwell, a Republican pollster and the publisher of The Bulwark, revealed in a podcast that swing voters are sharing a long list of concerns about AI data centers with pollsters.The issue is "flying under the radar as a big picture issue for folks in D.C., but I hear it coming up all the time in focus groups," Longwell said. "I know some people are paying attention to this, but I mean, the voters talk about it all the time."She played audio from a focus group interview with a Georgia small-town voter who described the impact of AI data centers as "devastating" and explained why she's bothered."I'm in the middle of a huge countywide fight against data centers," one voter said. "People are showing up about their water already, and about 40 people are being pushed out of their homes. It's just very personal."The voter added that the fight against AI data centers "took the cake for me on whether or not I might vote. The only reason I'm going to is because maybe when I go to heaven, it'll count for something."Another voter from Pittsburgh said that data centers are replacing "old mill sites," and "people are saying, 'We don't want them! We don't want them! We don't want them!'" Pittsburgh residents are opposed to the water consumption and pollution created by data centers, "but they just keep coming," he went on."It doesn't matter who the governor is, who the mayor is," he said. "They're all on board because it's job creation."Longwell predicted, "Does this become a 2028 issue?" referring to the next presidential election. "I suspect it does."
President Donald Trump just exposed yet another example of the radical Democrat regime’s war on hardworking Americans during an agriculture roundtable discussion in Wisconsin, this time, jailing people simply for fixing their own equipment.

A CNN reporter pointed out that President Donald Trump seemed displeased ahead of his event Friday night in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.Jeff Zeleny, CNN's chief national affairs correspondent, was traveling with the president and other reporters and commented that Trump was not too thrilled as he headed to the Midwest battleground state to discuss his economic agenda among struggling farmers and the agriculture community.Trump was slated to speak at a roundtable at 4 p.m. ET, but was late to take the stage, Zeleny explained."There is no doubt the president is a bit delayed here," Zeleny said. "He's been doing an interview, we're told, with NBC News on "Meet the Press." He came out and delivered some familiar criticism of the press. We will see what else he says during this. He does not seem to be in a very good mood, but at this point, we should point out so much criticism is coming from Republicans about the qualifications of Bill Pulte."Both Republicans and Democrats had expressed concern over Trump's naming of Pulte as the new acting head of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Pulte, who does not have any known national security experience, was reportedly planning to execute sweeping personnel cuts across the nation's 18 federal intelligence agencies and units before a permanent successor is confirmed.
CNN host Dana Bash on Friday mocked members of the MAGA movement who appear to assume California is taking a long time to count votes because political hijinks are afoot. Fox News host Jesse Waters explained, "I can't prove it — but everybody watching thinks there's shenanigans when it takes this long." Fox's Greg Gutfeld similarly proclaimed, "You know what that means," when he was told it would take a week or more to count the ballots. "These are baseless, fraud claims," Bash explained.California elections have always taken this long, largely due to the massive counties with populations of over 5 million people. Los Angeles County, for example, has a population of 9.6 to 9.8 million people. It's twice the size of Oklahoma.CNN's Elex Michaelson did an explainer video in which he said that about 80 percent of the voters cast ballots by mail. Each mail-in ballot goes through a signature verification process. There are more than 5.9 million registered voters in Los Angeles County. The single county is larger than 41 U.S. states. So, he said, there are many steps to prevent voter fraud. CNN's Aaron Blake showed a post from Gov. Ron DeSantis "who was never a big election denier" during the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. The Florida Republican asked whether California simply keeps counting until it gets the result it wants.Bash again reiterated that the comments aren't "based on anything that's actually happening."Time and time again, she said that California votes appear heavily Republican at the beginning and then slowly become more Democratic. If 80 percent of people vote by mail, those votes take longer to count because the ballot must be verified as authentic. Fewer Republicans vote by mail, according to an MIT Election Lab study."And part of the reason is that Donald Trump has spent years discouraging Republicans from returning mail ballots. And so, when you're counting these mail ballots late, they tend to be more Democratic-leaning," Blake said. He added that it has become commonplace for Republicans to seed suspicion that something untoward is happening, even if those conspiracy theories have tons of evidence to the contrary.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche spoke with Fox News host Sean Hannity on his podcast Thursday, but at the end of the interview, there was a lengthy disclaimer. During his interview, Blanche alleged that there was a "room full of evidence" from special counsel Jack Smith's investigation, the video showed. "It's not fair to say it was a secret room, but it's a room that had a lot of material in it," Blanche said. "It was actually from the Jack Smith investigation, and nobody knew it existed."Hannity asked Blanche if there was damning evidence inside. Blanche claimed, "Yes, we're looking at it." However, he said that a significant amount of the files had already been turned over to Senate Republicans.Documents and information pertaining to an investigation at the Justice Department would fall under federal guidelines for record preservation. According to the National Archives and Records Administration, “Records include all books, papers, maps, photographs, machine readable materials, or other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received by an agency of the United States Government under Federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business and preserved or appropriate for preservation by that agency or its legitimate successor as evidence of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, operations, or other activities of the government or because of the informational value of data in them.”In a separate conversation, Blanche also conceded that if President Donald Trump didn't win in 2024, he'd be facing prison time. Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. He likely would have been sentenced with consequences. Another Justice Department also likely would have been able to move forward on Trump's classified documents scandal. "There's no scenario in which he wasn't going to send President Trump to prison — and he didn't only because the president won," Blanche said of the New York case. Blanche also tried to rewrite special counsel Robert Mueller's report, in which he said that investigators found it was a "hoax." In fact, Mueller found the opposite. He testified to the House six years ago, explaining that Russia did make outreach to the Trump campaign and meddled in the 2016 election. His full report confirms that. After all of these allegations, Hannity then ran a disclaimer conceding that everything Blanche said could have been false. New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush discovered it and posted a screen capture of it on X. It read: "John Brennan, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Matthew Colangelo, Arthur Engoron, and James Clapper have not been charged with any crimes in connection with any alleged conspiracy. Charges against James Comey related to alleged false statements and obstruction of justice have been dismissed. There have been no findings that Rod Rosenstein, Tim Walz, Gavin Newsom or Jacob Frey engaged in professional misconduct," it read according to a screen capture. Thrush commented with disbelief, "This is really, actually, no-kidding the disclaimer Hannity ran after his interview with Todd Blanche."Journalist John Harwood said, "Fox is disgusting trash.""Astonishing disclaimer," said Paul Farhi, who writes about the news media for publications like Vanity Fair and The Atlantic. "Next question: Who made the statements Fox News is disclaiming — Blanche or Hannity? Or both?"One X user, Greg Spencer, noted, "You do this after you get nailed with a $787 million fine." It's a reference to the lawsuits that Fox and other conservative outlets have faced from voting-software companies such as Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems. Several have settled suits, but the Smartmatic case against Fox remains active.
