I realize that this has become a conversation of "I have Common Sense" vs. "Trump can do no wrong"..

But perhaps it's good to converse about a proposed Data Center in Granite City.

There's no local paper, though some ancillary coverage may be extended from Belleville, Alton, Edwardsville, or St. Louis where papers exist in some form.

I think if you're either in support of it or against it....that might be the topic that needs some kind of coverage.

This comes from a place of caring about beautiful Granite City IL.

If you have a view on it, this might be a good place to make it known.

If you want your elected leaders to know how you feel, you may want to say something.

I don't discount that people are speaking their mind in other ways.

But in the past, this message board had its share of elected leaders who would look in and some even would respond if they felt the need.

The Trump vs. Common Sense argument is one that will never bring people to agreement nor will anyone crossover.

It's perpetual loggerheads on that front.

Today....March 4, 2026 and hereafter....

It may be a GREAT day to talk about Granite City.

And more than just how Democrats ruined it and Trump gonna save it. Or vice versa.

Trump doesn't give two hoots about it, unless he can plunder money or votes.

So start talking about the home you love.
