Yes, Lydia.  I hear you.  And I added my signature to the Change.org document you generated when I found you knocking on the door to my e mail.

Please understand:  Your elected representatives only real interest is their self-interest.  The journalism question applies:  "Who Benefits?"  It is what I always ask when nibbling around the edges of a story.

What you can do:  Run alternative representatives for Mayor and City Council.  And then make sure you run the current office holders out of office.  Catapult them out of their seats.  You deserve better.  And hopefully - they will take their  short-sighted greed for a temporary financial fix and move to the Mojave Desert.  

You have taxation without representation.  For this - our forefathers mounted a revolution.  Start a legal revolution in North Richland Hills.  Anger - properly deployed and without intent to bring physical harm - is a powerful weapon.

I am truly sorry for your sense of betrayal from those entrusted with your well-being.

Lovingly,

Tammy Swofford

 

Hi Tammy, 

My name is Lydia Mahserjian. I live in North Richland Hills, Texas, where a data center is being built feet from my home — set to open by the end of July. No one asked me or my neighbors if this was okay, and a second, even bigger one is already being considered. We need to stop this. Sign my petition to halt this data center’s growth until our voices are heard.


No one asked us. The land was zoned industrial in 1985, decades before my neighborhood existed, so this project skipped a public hearing entirely and got approved automatically. I found out the way my neighbors did: construction crews showing up feet from our homes on Wuliger Way.

It doesn’t stop there: a second data center, nearly 30 times the size, is already being considered on Rufe Snow Drive.

I’m not against progress. I’m against being an afterthought in decisions that affect my health, my water, my electric bill, and my home’s value for decades to come. My life’s savings — 20 years of hard work — is invested in THIS house. Large AI data centers can draw as much power as 100,000 households and millions of gallons of water a day — and we don’t even know yet what the constant noise will do to people living this close. That’s exactly why an independent review should happen before a shovel goes in the ground, not after.

Every day that passes is a day closer to this AI data center becoming permanent, with a tiny buffer (if you can even call it that), no hearing, and no say for us.

That’s why our team of neighbors started this petition. We need a pause on new approvals, have real public hearings and independent environmental reviews, and require ongoing transparency with accountability if something goes wrong.

This is happening to my neighbors and me, right now, blocks from where we sleep. I don’t have the luxury of waiting for a better moment to speak up. The Wuliger data center is slated to be completed in late July.

Sign now. Tell North Richland Hills: not next to our homes, and not without our say.

Thanks,
Lydia Mahserjian

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
