WATERCOLOR, Fla.— The Florida Panhandle has known a lot of different versions of me over the past 60 years. It knew me as a little boy whose father had just died, as a young man who had lost his way, as a newly sober waiter dreaming of owning a restaurant, as a husband and father bringing his own family to the beach, and now as a man waiting for the next addition.

Two things can be true at once. Foreign entities have seeded the opposition to data center growth in the United States. China, in particular, through its control of TikTok and other influence outlets, has relentlessly worked to stop the American AI advantage against China.

 Sometimes it’s good to review where we came from to appreciate where we are today. This past spring one of my students came into class shaking her head and complaining how bad things had become. I asked her what was going on, and she said gas prices were way too high. She was right, of course, but considering the context of where we were ten years earlier, things weren’t as bad as they seemed.

 There are certain modern hypocrisies I notice all the time.

People who complain about capitalism while living in the wealthiest capitalist countries on earth. Progressive activists in America who lament the lack of respect for individual freedom — seemingly unaware of how much of the rest of the world actually lives. People who use a smartphone to post about how much they hate Big Tech.

Rep. Celeste Hurst stopped by the Empower Podcast this week to talk about something politicians generally aren't very good at admitting: sometimes helping people actually makes things worse.

Hurst has spent years doing ministry in South Jackson, opening her home to children and families in crisis, and learning firsthand that writing a check is a whole lot easier than actually helping someone change his/her life.

Was yesterday a prelude to war in Madison County? The data center project is the county's crown jewel as AWS spends up to $21 billion.  County officials eyes glazed over as they dreamed of rivers of milk and honey in tax revenue.
