Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, July 14, 2026

New York became the first US state to halt construction of large new AI data centers, imposing a one-year moratorium as concerns grow that the facilities driving the artificial-intelligence boom are raising power costs, straining water supplies, and burdening local communities. An average of recent polls show incumbent Gov Kathy Hochul (D) is leading MAGA Republican candidate for governor hatemonger Bruce Blakeman by an average of ten points.

Islamophobe Bruce Blakeman (R) fully supports ICE brutality

Dummkopf Trumpf on Truth Asocial today:

"One of the biggest Driving Forces in the Future for Jobs, are Data Centers. They are big, strong, bold, and Money Machines for the State in which they are built.

"Governor Kathy Hochul, for political reasons, has terminated all Data Centers being built, or to be built, in New York State.

"These Companies are now being sought in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and many other States. Both the Taxes and the Jobs amount to LIQUID GOLD! New York State has made a terrible decision.

"All of this Income, and other Benefits, will be going to Red States, and some Blue, where Data Centers are sought as Cash Cows, with Lower Taxes and Record Setting Jobs.

"They must pay for their own Water and Power, and any leftover goes back to the State and local Community.

"Data Centers are tremendous WINS for the States and Communities that are lucky enough to get them. New York should change its Policy, IMMEDIATELY.

"The Radical Left Dumocrats must not be allowed to cause us to lose Data Centers, AI, and all of this incredible new Technology, to China, and other countries!"

This from the lunatic who kibboshed wind farms for NYS.

I don't think these belong in NYS either.

I also don't think cattle slaughter facilities belong there, nor 100K+ head capacity feedyards belong in NYS.

There is some real misinformation out there about these data centers. We're just seeing it unfold now in places like Kansas.

Yes, from the people who want to build more Data Centers.

It's a lot like the 2020 Civil Rights violence, where most of which was escalated by the police, as they are trained to do.
