The Berks County Patriots is a 501.c.4, non-profit, non-partisan, educational group committed to addressing, restoring, and promoting the conservative values and ideals espoused in America’s founding documents; that “we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights.” We feel these include, but are not limited to, life, liberty, property ownership, free speech, a free market, the right to bear arms, and the pursuit of happiness. We believe that a limited government is necessary to ensure these rights for “We the People.” Jan 2026

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”
― Mark Twain
“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it. “
Ronald
Reagan
It might be Ragged, it might be Torn but it Still Flies
This American Flag looks torn and ragged, and maybe it is. Our country might look the same to those looking at us from outside our borders. But to me it looks great from the inside. All the efforts of those who want to take away our freedoms and disobey our laws, we will defend and always remain UNITED as ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
By this Ragged Old Citizen who will Never Give Up.

Here you will learn a Straight forward Look at the Concerns, the Context, and the Facts of Data Centers
China Telecom’s Inner Mongolia
The impact of this massive data hub on the industry cannot be overstated. It is a game-changer in the world of data centers and has attracted major clients such as IBM, HP, and Dell
Its cloud computing data center, call centers, warehouse, offices, and living quarters make it a self-contained ecosystem, providing everything a business needs to operate in the digital age
It covers a mind-boggling 10,763,910 square feet and costs a whopping $3 billion. Consuming a staggering 150 MW of power.
Its cloud computing data center alone has a capacity of 50,000 servers, making it one of the most powerful computing facilities in the world.
The United States is definitely behind.

Who’s Really Driving Energy Demand
What Are Data Center Cooling Systems
The Many Reasons Your Electricity Bill Has Gone Up and It’s Not DATA CENTER.
Our Electrical Infrastructure is aging and needs to be replaced.
Microsoft announces 'world's most powerful' AI data center
315-acre site to house ‘hundreds of thousands’ of Nvidia GPUs and enough fiber to circle the Earth 4.5 times
It uses closed-loop water cooling, which the company suggests will have “zero water waste,” with all of the water supplied once, at construction. In fact, Microsoft says it’s the second-largest water-cooled chiller plant on Earth. The data center’s storage systems alone are “five football fields” long, with 1.2 million square feet in three buildings to house “hundreds of thousands” of Nvidia GB200 and GB300 GPUs.
In comparison to xAI’s Colossus, which uses over 200,000 GPUs and 300 megawatts. Just last year, Microsoft added over 2 gigawatts of new capacity – roughly the output of 2 nuclear power plants.
How Much Water do Data Centers Consume?
Understanding how data centers consume — and pay for — the energy that keeps the digital world running.
California’s almond industry uses more than 1.3 trillion gallons of water annually, compared to roughly 17 billion gallons used by all U.S. data centers combined.
Most people know the everyday story of data centers: the emails, streaming queues, or navigation apps running quietly in the background. Yet, that’s only part of what’s happening inside them.
There is a large gap between what people imagine a data center will be like to live near and what the operational reality actually looks like.
Water usage figures for data centers get cited constantly. What rarely gets mentioned is what those figures actually include, and that distinction matters more than most people realize.

SEPTEMBER EVENTS
Nominations --- For Berks County Patriots Board Members OPENS October 1st
CHARLES KIRK
(October 14, 1993 – September 10, 2025)
We have only just begun.
The two days, 9/10 and 9/11, show us an undeniable truth. Our nation’s values and beliefs in the Constitution and the rights it gives us threaten the power base of our enemies. To see the pictures of the 9/11 Towers burning, at the same time we are mourning the loss of a truly persuasive conservative, Charles Kirk, brings out these emotions in us – sorrow for the loss of a voice and anger for those ideologies that bring out such destruction.
Charles Kirk visited college campuses around our country in an attempt to get young people to ‘think’ and debate what is being taught to them.
Here are some of what Charles Kirk brought to light:
Limited Government, Free Markets, Individual Responsibility, American Exceptionalism, Social Conservatism, strong National Borders. Free speech on Campus and (worst of all, only in the eyes of our enemy) Support for President Trump.
The opposing groups feel their voices only resonate with
bullets and force.
They are desperate to prevent our youth of today from learning about their pivotal characteristics, which would undermine their power throughout our country. Power and money are their greatest desires. They wish to replace our Constitutional Values with their own tenets. They cannot control us unless their philosophies and values reign. But it is Christ who reigns, and Christ who is the King of Kings.
It is time for every conservative to strengthen their resolve and get back into the fight to defend our values, our morals, and protect the minds of our youth. This begins at a very young age, both at home and in schools. Some of the wrong ideology is taught in our elementary classrooms and grows exponentially throughout their public-school educational experience.
We must prepare.
To lose the youth of today will bring destruction for tomorrow, and a country we will no longer recognize. We must not let our voices be silenced, and our values be stifled by brutality!
We, the People, are stronger than that… and … We know it!

Berks County Patriots
November 3rd is the General Election. This election is also referred to as the midterm election.
This is halfway into the President’s term.
Patriots, currently, we have a trifecta.
This means the conservatives have the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the presidency.
If we lose them, get out and vote for conservatives.
When will my mail ballot be counted in Pennsylvania?
This is because every mail ballot outer envelope has an individual barcode that is specific to you. Once this barcode is scanned, it will be recorded that your mail ballot was received.
However, your mail ballot will not be opened and counted until Election Day, per Pennsylvania law.
**Mail-In Ballot Request Deadline: General
When will I receive my mail ballot?
As soon as ballots are certified and available, but no later than 70 days before the general election.
While any proceeding is pending in a Federal or State court which would affect the contents of any ballot, the county board of elections may await a resolution of that proceeding but, in any event, shall commence to deliver or mail official absentee ballots not later than the second Tuesday before the primary or election.
The second Tuesday before November 3rd is October 20th, 2026.
August 26th would be 70 days before November 3rd, 2026.
But most likely they won’t be mailed till mid Spetemeber.
§ 25 Pa. C.S. § 3146.5

Republicans have a 52% chance of
controlling the Senate in 2026.
