I come here iso information. Being old i have to follow as few as possible. Having increased his base, tRUmp now seeks kakistocracy and kleptocracy. He continues to be an enemy of US norms and Law.

Data centers need cheap land, water & electricity.
They try to get Public Utility electrical supply agreement.
FIRST, lean on our MT Legislators to take the lead & determine the rules & regs for proposed MT data centers.
Which currently state need for 2 Gigawatts(GW).
Coalstrip 3&4 produce <1/2 GW
Proposed Butte Sabey Data Center.
We know you'll increase our electrical rates!
Therefore, go to the end of the line.
Obtain your own electrical power.
We see the problem. NWE is about to bought out by a bigger, more profitable company, also in South Dakota.
Biggest NWE owners: Blackrock & Vanguard
"Sabey Data Centers, a company that operates seven massive data centers across the United States, signed a Letter of Intent in December to buy a huge amount of power from NorthWestern Energy." No citizen input.
Evidence points to secret second location plans by data center company eying Butte missoulian.com/news/local/b...
Ten years a Senator and Steve Daines still sounds like a sophomore praising a tyrant.
Steve so wants Trump to value sophomore Steve.
BTW, Steve, what is "the battle" you speak of.
We know Trump asked CIA to go covert in Venezuela.
Did Trump ask to see places to make military strikes in Venezuela?
With numerical water standards,
Eg parts per million
Of phosphorus.
The many MT non- compliant water treatment plants can show voters how bad is their treated water.
And how much money needed to improve water treated by a improved city water treatment plant.
Absolutely. Predictive modeling, determining compliance, setting goals for watersheds - all more straightforward and transparent with numerical standards.
Total bullshit and cowshit move,
To drop river numerical standards for nitrogen contamination.
And go into swamp of narrative standards.
What's often contaminated are the feeder streams that flow into the rivers.
Currently best way to regulate stream contamination is to regulate river contamination!
10/18 NO KINGS
Hamilton MT -- Ravalli County Seat

10:30 to noon
Highway 93 and Main Street

Rocky Mountain Lab is under partial shut down.
Frogs welcome.

Sunny around noon.
CORRECTION ‼️ Missoula’s protests is scheduled for *10:30am* (before the Griz game!) #mtpol
Montanans know we deserve better than ruling by executive order. Be safe, be smart, and be loud this weekend! 💙 #mtpol
After PURGING TOP BRASS
Taking advantage of the GOP shutdown,
Control freak SOW Hegseth TRYS to go full fashist.
Wants to PURGE Press from public military briefings.

WHILE evil tRUmp says we are evil.

10/18 NO KINGS.
If anyone wonders why we call them wannabe authoritarians, here you go.

They’re now shitting on the Bill of Rights.
“Policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.”

Absolute fucking abomination.

Woops again. Bluesky attribution not working.
Woops, here's the Antifa Roundtable clip w/ AG Pam Bondi.
Who's soliciting & inciting violence?
Yes, follow the money.
Right up to the top layers,
Of Law breaker players,
Who act in defiance of us and the Hatch Act.
Notice that Bondi begins the propaganda clip.
Remember, Bondi began the DOJ surge to support deportations.
NOTHING WRONG BEING ANTI FASCIST!
"In her ruling, Judge April Perry began by citing a lengthy quote from the Federalist Papers in which Alexander Hamilton addressed concerns that a tyrannical US president would use a militia from one state to invade and occupy another state."
Senator Elissa Slotkin says as result of Trump directive NSPM-7(anti-Christian are domestic terrorists) FBI domestic watchlist is expected to double in coming months.

Relying on being personally “saved”(like Paul)Evangelicals have less reliance on Jesus’s social & ethical teachings in MT/Mark/Luke.
What's the rush, SOD SOW Pete Hegseth?
Since you serve national security,
Why not wait until Congress is in Session?

Then advice Congress about the Qatar Emiri Air Force F-15 fighter jets and pilots to be "bedded" at Mountain Home Air Force Base for training w/ the US Air Force.

What ordnance use?
À competent US AG would resist:
Qatari F-15's doing training 250 air miles from Hamilton, Montana.
Russell Vought, w/o precedence or predicate, seeks to fire w/o cause over 100,000 Federal workers.
Trump, w/o precedence or predicate, imposes record high tarrifs.
ICE illegal mission & activities.
What?
Google says on Feb 5, 2025,
Bondi issued orders to the DOJ to support mass deportations, help states execute the death penalty, and stop funding “sanctuary” cities.

I had no idea that might have been harsh reality.

Yes, we eventually heard Bondi reassigned drug interdiction agents to ICE.
Re Trump's selective prosecution of Comey & James.

On MSNBC,
10/9, Legal analyst Harry Litman said that Pam Bondi has cut the Office of Special Counsel from about 30 persons to 2 persons. That office handles illegal selective prosecution and whistleblower retaliation.
Again, Bondi looks illegal.
Ravalli County Fairgrounds
4:30 today speeches about Charlie Kirk.
8 PM Dinner/$40 but free for young adults & youth.
Feel morally superior while glad to see Trump’s triumphs:
Bombing boats,
Using Troops to protect ICE illegalities.
Refuses to discuss ending shut down.
Filing 2 Counts against Comey
Blogger Curtis Yarvin, who famously said 'democracy is dead', now says Democrats may win the 2026 Primary Elections.
And that's why Yarvin is considering leaving the US!
Wait, wait. Are you saying concocting a political ideology that leads to far right billionaires advocating for an apartheid built around techno feudalism would be unpopular?
Pam Bondi, we all know that repeated refusal to answer Yes or No questions,
Usualy happens to cover up factual evidence.

Pam Bondi, you have inadvertently told us,
Where factual evidence must be obtained.

You have told us facts must be determined about ✅️Holman & $50,000,
✅️Trump & Epstein.
Remember when blogger Curtis Yarvin said Democracy is dead?
Now he fears democratic wins in 2026!

Yarvin says Stephen Miller "and his ilk are not even doing .01% of what it would take to solve the problem."
Would he say that ICE is only doing only .01% of what it would take to solve the problem?
Yarvin convinced a bunch of credulous tech billionaires that they needed to back an extreme, dumb, & wildly unpopular politics to “save western civilization.” We’re now getting that politics on steroids, and now he’s all “oh no, these policies are unpopular, must flee the country to save ourselves.”
mencius moldbug is thinking of fleeing the country because he thinks the trump administration's chaotic half-assing of dismantling liberal democracy is going to bite them all in the ass
October 11 Dinner in Hamilton at County Fairgrounds.
“All youth/young adult tickets sponsored.”
Here we go again, no indication who paid for this display ad in the Bitteroot Star.
No idea if some entity besides Ravalli County Central Committee is organizing the event.
Putin has been slowly losing his kinetic war against Ukraine,
While increasing his propaganda intrusions across Europe.
Their purposes, like Putin's current drone intrusion,
--> train Europe to not fight back against Putin's propaganda and puppets.
LOOK AT THE MAP
Germany doesn't want to fight back.
«Russia is already at war with a scheming, ruthless, bloodthirsty West. It can’t be at war with Ukraine because… “Ukraine doesn’t exist.” So Mother Russia must be fighting NATO.

That fiction needs evidence, and drones drifting into EU airspace provide it.»

Three reasons Russia is poking NATO
Moscow can't beat the West on the battlefield. So it's waging a different kind of war.

Private sector jobs decreased in 3 of the last 4 months.

About 70% of US labor pool are private sector jobs.

The private sector job loss is in small and medium sized firms.

70% of US GDP comes from consumer spending.

Without the AI boom, we'd be looking at nil GDP growth and a DJT recession.
CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"
What to do, especially if you too agree that the MT PSC lacks scope, talent and mission to set rates for, & regulate large data centers in MT?

Look at Idaho. Ask your Legislators to require large data centers obtain their own electrical power.

No MT hydra or coalstrip power to big MT data centers!
Most of the customers of new high performance data centers in Montana, would be far from MT.
Most of those data centers would not be owned in Montana!
Guess what, knowing the above the Blackhills Corporation public utility wants to buyout all of the NWE stock, and thereby acquire the NWE monopoly.
