What a lovely evening at the Juniata County Library.
The atmosphere was a terrific celebration of all that this public library does for its community.
I was proud to contribute to this staunch defender of our First Amendment rights.

While neither presenter mentioned the President Trump nor our U.S. Representative, multimillionaire John Joyce, and they kept their presentations completely neutral in tone and non-partisan, it was clear that funding cuts for public education that those two officeholders support are doing active harm in our community. Titling her presentation, "How Schools are Affected by Loss of Funding or Delayed Funding from State or Federal Sources," Ms. Broadway broke down the impacts into 4 easy-to-understand categories which I will give here as well as her information. Impacts on Planning and Stability - Inconsistent funding for curriculum - Misaligning with Comprehensive Plan - Delays in in strategic improvement efforts (Forces “reactive decisions”) Impacts on Staffing Challenges - Hiring delays - Increased reliance on grant-funded roles which would then be temporary - Programming instability Impacts on Students - Academic interruptions - Inconsistent student supports - Disproportionate impacts on disadvantaged students including Title I funding and students/class Budget and Financial Strain - Quandaries about money sourcing - Heavier reliance on reserve funding which is temporary - Reduction in level of funding rippling across the budget She then wrapped up her presentation reminding us that over 60% of the cost per public school student is born on the backs of the property owners (I'm paraphrasing here) indicating that if the federal government goes through with its plan to cut more funding, the needs of students will need to be met through some other means. Having served on the Conewago Valley School Board in 2023, I know that that simply means property owners would have to pay more school taxes, not just for GASD, but for every public school district. Why anyone would vote for this is beyond me. Instead, I believe that the ultra-wealthy should pay their fair share in taxes so the federal and state governments can fund the majority of a public school student's ed…
Many thanks to Gettysburg Area School District School board president, Alice Broadway, & Executive Director of Adams County Head Start, Jen Showers, for their informative presentation at Adams County Democratic Committee headquarters last Thursday evening.

Picture of woman next to the American flag (Beth Farnham). to blockading the Strait of Hormuz to threatening "Any Iranian who fires at us or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL” to criticizing the Pope to whatever else a madman will rant about, remember... this could all stop tomorrow if our U.S. Representative, multimillionaire John Joyce, and his Republican cronies in Congress wanted to stop it. But they choose not to stop Trump. Capitalists thrive on war, division, inequality, and everything else that creates a downtrodden, abused, impoverished society too weak to defend itself against the rich and powerful. These are the same people who have voted down a higher federal minimum wage, a national healthcare plan, impeachment proceedings against Trump for his January 6th crimes, the Infrastructure Bill, the American Rescue Plan Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and they voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that cuts healthcare and food assistance who need it the most. They aren't Christians; they just say they are. That's why they won't condemn Trump for his blasphemous AI image wherein he's the Jesus who is reviving a dead Jeffrey Epstein. Jesus isn't their Lord and Savior. Money is and Trump is the golden calf by which it is delivered. But it doesn't have to be this way. We don't have to have a madman in power, hellbent on removing our Democracy or suggesting that people worship him. The People have the power to vote against the John Joyces of Congress and vote for the Beth Farnhams instead. I, along with other caring Democrats, pledge to increase the federal minimum wage to a liveable one, strengthen our social safety nets of food assistance and affordable housing, create a national healthcare plan, hold accountable Trump for his crimes against humanity and constitutional law, and enact policies that strengthen our people and national security. Please vote for me because when you choose Beth Farnham, you not only #ChooseDemocracy — you stop the abuse!

While you may be feeling abused by the President of the United States of America as he whipsaws us from destroying "a whole civilization” to suspending "the bombing and attack of Iran for two weeks” ... (rest of post in ALT).
Authentic, Beth Farnham or John Joyce
I don't claim to be perfect, but I do claim to be real.

Three pictures of Sheetz gas station price signs.
Trump's Iranian war punishes everyday Americans at the pump: Cross Keys Sheetz in Adams County is up another $.20, a $.40 increase within a 2 wks. It doesn't have to be this way. Stop the pain by voting for me for Congress & check a president's abuse of power. #ChooseDemocracy #Affordability!

AI data centers definitely don't belong in Franklin County. It's not that I don't believe in the application of AI, but it should be very strategic implementation. Unfortunately, it has been used for propaganda. The first example of AI-generated content that Beresnyak shared was a video of an acquaintance driving a racecar. If he hadn't announced that it was AI-generated, I would have believed the video was real. And that is the danger. AI content should never be mistaken for actual human created content. Though I can't deny the "gee whiz" factor of it all, I feel strongly that students especially don't need it so much either. Beresnyak did attempt to justify it through slides on some real and hypothetical help that federal and state departments of agriculture posited it could provide, but then he shifted his presentation to justifying data centers in general. Yes, we need data centers for storing financial and medical information, streaming videos & posting on Facebook, but those HUMAN GENERATED CONTENT. Real filmmakers have messages they want to impart to audiences. Real people want to connect with other real people through social media. Justifying data centers still doesn't justify AI DATA CENTERS. Further into the presentation, he spoke about power & water usage. I learned that a lot of AI data centers want to build near the infrastructure of natural gas because of its capacity. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Franklin County is not located within the natural gas basin, & we would have to rely on nuclear power to generate the consistent power AI data centers need. Many arguments are made against AI data centers for their water usage, but this was parsed very well in the presentation. If the AI data centers use wet cooling, that is the evaporative water, then, yes, too much water is used by the data centers, but if they used dry cooling or closed loop, think a radiator, then the draw upon the water is not as great, so there may be less draw upon water resources…
I attended a Franklin County Farm Bureau meeting, where Tom Beresnyak from Penn State Extension presented on AI data centers. It was an opportunity for farmers to understand the impact of AI data centers should they sell their farmland for this purpose.
