The Democratic Party -- a stain on the republic for 200 years -- has a long history of keeping black people down. In 1858, for instance, Democrat voters cheered when Democratic Sen. Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, during the first of his celebrated debates with upstart Republican challenger Abraham Lincoln,...

The city council of a New Jersey town killed plans to build a new AI data center after hundreds of local residents attended a meeting to voice their concerns. A public park will now be built at the location instead of a data center. “A data center in New Brunswick was canceled tonight when hundreds of residents showed up. When fight big tech and private equity we win,” said Ben Dziobek of the Climate Revolution Action Network. “We are going to be fighting against data centers everywhere in New Jersey,” Dziobek said in a video published to X. “And we say a big f*** you to Big Tech,” he added. Watch the crowd celebrate the announcement [EXPLICIT LANGUAGE]: A data center in New Brunswick was canceled tonight when hundreds of residents showed up. When fight big tech and private equity we win. pic.twitter.com/doZ63Pdwue — Ben Dziobek (@BenDziobek) February 19, 2026 Patch provided further info: It was going to be a small data center (27,000 square feet; the average data center in New Jersey is actually more than 400 percent bigger than that.) However, many New Brunswick residents were extremely concerned a data center would increase their electric bills. Data centers suck up a lot of electricity, and they are responsible for some of the huge increases New Jersey residents have witnessed in their electric bills in the past two years. Data centers also require massive amounts of water to keep their servers cool, so water bills increase, too. “Many people did not want this in their neighborhood. We don’t want these kinds of centers that’s going to take resources from the community,” said Bruce Morgan, president of the New Brunswick NAACP, who thanked the Council for “scrapping” the data center. Hundreds of people attended Wednesday night’s meeting. When Council President Manuel Castaneda announced the data center was canceled, he was met with claps from the audience, many holding signs that read “No data center!” Also, it was uncertain if PSE&G even needed a new data center there, the city said Wednesday. (This may signal a reduction in demand for data centers in New Jersey, although that is not certain.) Thanks to the New Brunswick City Council for replacing the anticipated data center with a city park for everyone to use and enjoy. New Jersey already has 69 data centers, including *12* close to New Brunswick. It’s about quality of life.https://t.co/7i5DmdD84n — For New Brunswick, New Jersey NJ (@4NewBrunswick) February 19, 2026 News12 New Jersey noted: Members of the Climate Revolution Action Network planned on attending Wednesday night’s City Council meeting. “The water usage of this facility will be off the charts!” said Ben Dziobek with the Climate Revolution Action Network. This was something that was slipped into the development proposal, but it was not supposed to be a data center. For the longest time, this was supposed to be housing and parks,” said Dziobek. As data centers expand, some legislators in Trenton want owners of those facilities to report electric and water use in order to keep track of the impact on local neighborhoods. In related news, tempers flared at a public meeting in an Oklahoma town over a proposed data center. Police arrested one man during the meeting as residents voiced their concerns about the water use and infrastructure of the proposal.

Did President Trump just confirm that aliens are out there? Speaking to reporters about Barack Obama’s recent remarks on the existence of aliens, President Trump said that Obama “made a big mistake” because he gave out “classified information.” President Trump also said that he might get Barack Obama out of trouble by declassifying that information. Watch this for yourself: BREAKING: President Trump says Obama revealed “Classified Information” when he said Aliens are real. Q: “Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth?” TRUMP: “He gave classified information. He’s not supposed to be doing that.” pic.twitter.com/fjcf6Ka1ac — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) February 19, 2026 So, let’s get this straight… President Trump refused to either confirm or deny whether he believes in extraterrestrials. But, he did say that Barack Obama shouldn’t have said that aliens are real because that information’s classified. Am I wrong or, by saying that, didn’t he just do the same thing?! Other folks are thinking along the same lines: So, Trump did too, if he confirmed that was classified information. — Based and Biased (@based_biased) February 19, 2026 Now trump just confirmed aliens are real. — The Black Tucker Carlson Jr (@B1TuckerCarlson) February 19, 2026 If this response doesn’t confirm aliens are real, then I don’t know what will. Wow. — Rockso (@RocksoRoxo) February 19, 2026 On another note, who was President Trump trying to warn Obama about in that clip? Getting into trouble for revealing such “classified info” by those in power here on Earth? Or, elsewhere?… Kinda scary the way he answered that , kinda like saying he might be in trouble but not with us… dadadaa — Kitch (@kkitch1984) February 19, 2026 This could explain why Barack Obama tried to back-track after saying straight-up that “aliens are real” on a recent podcast appearance. For reference, here’s the original clip of what Obama had to say about the existence of extraterrestrials: Barack Obama on aliens: “They’re real” “But I haven’t seen them. They’re not being kept at Area 51. There’s no underground facility — unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States.” pic.twitter.com/c6t0DYxewU — UAP James (@UAPJames) February 14, 2026 One day after the podcast dropped, Barack Obama tried to walk it back in a post on Instagram. The New York Post reported: Former President Barack Obama has clarified his casual but dramatic claim that aliens are “real,” caveating that he never came across solid evidence of extraterrestrial life during his presidency. The 44th president set the internet ablaze over the weekend for confidently proclaiming on a liberal podcast that aliens are real while dismissing conspiracy theories about them being housed in Nevada’s Area 51. “I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round, but since it’s gotten attention let me clarify,” Obama explained on Instagram. “Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there.” “But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low [sic], and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us,” he added. “Really!” Maybe Barack realized his “big mistake” and tried to take it all back real quick. But, it isn’t just Obama telling us this type of stuff. Just yesterday, Lara Trump claimed that President Trump has prepared a speech on extraterrestrial life. Full scoop on that here: LARA TRUMP: “President Trump Has A Speech On Aliens/UFOs Prepared And Ready To Use” So, I have to wonder: are President Trump’s remarks today his way of hinting that he’s about to drop the real-life “X-files” that apparently exist? And, if aliens are real, what are we supposed to do about them? This comment made me laugh: Well, if they’re here, deport them too! — Thomad

President Trump just responded to news of (former) Prince Andrew’s arrest over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, President Trump called it a “shame” and “so bad for the royal family.” President Trump also noted how he, himself, has been completely exonerated by the newest documents release, which revealed that Epstein was actually conspiring against his presidency. Watch here: PETER DOOCY: “The former Prince Andrew arrested by the police there, related to something with Jeffrey Epstein. Do you think people in this country, at some point, associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs?” TRUMP: “Well, you know, I’m the expert in a way, because… pic.twitter.com/TunLnUK7EC — Fox News (@FoxNews) February 19, 2026 PETER DOOCY: “The former Prince Andrew arrested by the police there, related to something with Jeffrey Epstein. Do you think people in this country, at some point, associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs?” TRUMP: “Well, you know, I’m the expert in a way, because I’ve been totally exonerated. It’s very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it’s a shame. I think it’s very sad. I think it’s so bad for the royal family.” King Charles is scheduled to visit the U.S. soon, in April. His brother, who now goes by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor after he was stripped of his royal titles, is under investigation for misconduct in public office. Newsweek shared more details: Mountbatten‑Windsor was arrested by Thames Valley Police on suspicion of misconduct in public office following revelations in newly released Jeffrey Epstein files. Authorities are investigating whether he shared confidential or sensitive government information with Epstein while serving as the United Kingdom’s special representative for international trade, a role he held until 2011. Police said he was arrested at his residence in Norfolk, questioned, and later released under investigation, meaning he has not been charged while inquiries continue. Mountbatten‑Windsor has denied any wrongdoing. In light of Andrew’s arrest, a clip has resurfaced of President Trump exposing the ex-prince’s relationship with Epstein over a decade ago. Flashback to this moment in 2015: BREAKING: A video is resurfacing of Donald Trump in 2015 CALLING OUT Prince Andrew — who has now been arrested “That island was a cesspool. No question about it — just ask Prince Andrew. He’ll tell you about it!” Trump was EARLY to blow the whistle!pic.twitter.com/H6cznOg1E7 — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) February 19, 2026 President Trump called Prince Andrew out years ago — before Democrats or anyone else in the government cared about Epstein, at all — and today, he’s been arrested! Hopefully, this is just the first of many to come… Trump needs to arrest Les Wexner, Leon Black, Reid Hoffman, and Bill Gates. We have people here that need to be brought to justice. — Andy froemel (@FroemelAndy) February 19, 2026 Your thoughts?

Another American citizen is dead because of an illegal immigrant truck driver. On Wednesday, Singh Sukhdeep — an illegal alien from India — was driving a semi-truck in Indiana and ran a red light, causing a deadly crash that killed 64-year-old Terry Schultz. It turns out that Sukhdeep was able to get a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) last year, just before new laws went into effect to prevent illegal aliens and foreigners who don’t speak English from being able to pass the test.

Fox News noted: The crash comes about two weeks after Bekzhan Beishekeev, an illegal alien truck driver from Kazakhstan, allegedly killed four people in another crash in Indiana. He entered the U.S. in 2023 using the Biden-era CBP One app and was released into the country. He was later issued a CDL in Pennsylvania. In another high profile case from last August, an Indian illegal alien Harjinder Singh, who was issued a CDL in California, allegedly made an illegal U-turn, jackknifing his truck and causing a crash that killed three people. He was charged with three counts of vehicular homicide. The DOT said Singh had failed an English Language Proficiency test, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying one of four highway traffic signs. What do you think? Do we need to federalize the CDL process in response to so many preventable fatal crashes? Here’s what folks are saying online: If the interstate system is federal, the same should be for CDLs. — Crowenation4547 (@Crowenation4547) February 19, 2026 We need check points in and out of every major city.

At the newly renamed Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace, President Donald Trump announced a massive $10 billion U.S. commitment to the Board of Peace (BoP). However, the Thursday announcement has since fueled questions in relation to where the money will be coming from specifically.
