👋 Longtime New Yorker here and new home owner. We purchased a house in NYS and have received 3 electric bills so far and I’m in utter shock. For 2.5 months the house was unoccupied, thermostats set between 40-50 (we do have electric heat) with one light on. Here’s what we’ve been billed by NYSEG so far:
2 weeks of usage - approximately $900
Jan - approximately $2,000
Feb - approximately $3,400

Called the company multiple times and was told “that’s the rate”. Not surprised by the scripted and unhelpful answer. Curious to see how many fellow New Yorkers are feeling the pain, and looking for real answers on what’s truly behind the significant cost increases. You’d think for that kind of money the house would at least feel warm. Instead, it feels like we’re getting robbed. @NassauExec

They attempted a smear campaign against me to try to get me to stop cleaning the voter rolls.

If you think I’m going to stop exposing non-citizen voters, then you don’t know anything about me.

Student loans were supposed to be a pathway to the American Dream, but instead they’ve become a lifetime subscription to interest payments.

Congress should CAP federal student loan interest rates at 2%.

Americans should be able to pay back what they borrowed without paying for it twice.

This morning, President Trump announced action against the four companies that dominate American beef processing and signaled he wants to give ranchers more freedom to process their own product. Two of those four processors are controlled by foreign corporations. More competition in processing is a step in the right direction, and we support it.

But if the goal is actually to lower prices for American families, the most direct path is mandatory country of origin labeling. Without it, imported beef enters our supply chain, sits beside American beef in your grocery store, gets blended into ground beef, and is sold without any obligation to tell you where it came from. There is nothing requiring the savings from cheaper imported beef to be passed along to you.

Give consumers transparency and let them choose. That is how a free market is supposed to work. Competition only functions when people know what they are choosing between.

We can support a president when he gets it right and respectfully challenge him when we believe he gets it wrong. That is not political. That is the job.

Break the processing bottleneck. Bring back mandatory country of origin labeling. Give every American, Republican, Democrat, independent, or libertarian, the right to know where their food comes from.

The Amish are threatening a mass exodus from New York over the vaccine fight.

The Amish population in NY is around 25,000 people.

NY is insisting that their children receive between 24 and 27 jabs to attend school.

Their schools, which have zero State or even Federal funding, refused to comply on religious grounds.

Their schools have already incurred $118,000 in fines for failing to comply.

The fight now heads to the Supreme Court, and I pray for their victory.

I do have one question: as NY is a sanctuary state, are they forcing all the illegals to get these jabs, or do they get a pass and just cash?

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

I’m going to make a bold prediction:

If Governor Shapiro & the democrats ever control all 3 branches of the Commonwealth,

they will introduce legislation to mandate vaccinations (even for the Amish).

Shapiro’s pals on the Supreme Court will rule in favor of the legislation.

The goal isn’t the health & well-being of Pennsylvanians — it will be for the purpose of trying to force the Amish out of PA.

The same way New York is forcing the Amish out of its state.

This should be implemented throughout the UK immediately. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If Democrats in Congress care about affordability, then why did every single one of them vote against eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security?

Instead, Democrats tried to massively hike taxes on working families.

They are affordability frauds.

For some reason, this didn't make mainstream media...

The Democratic Party is becoming the party of socialism.

58% view socialism positively.

50% view capitalism negatively.

I’m a proud free market capitalist.

This is lunacy.

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers, and the scientists have verified it.

Swiss researchers sowed flower strips through 10 winter wheat fields and compared them to 15 fields without. Cereal leaf beetle larvae dropped 40%. Second-generation adults dropped 53%. Damage to the wheat fell 61%.

That pushed the pest below the threshold where spraying pesticides is even worth the money.

A follow-up study on perennial strips found beetle larvae down 66%, and yield in the wheat beside them up 10%.

The catch is that this only works when the strips are built for it. Those Swiss trials used specific plants chosen to feed specific predators: cornflower, coriander, buckwheat, poppy. A generic wildflower mix along the field edge doesn't reliably do this.

The same principle scales down to a garden. Plant a strip of yarrow, dill, fennel, or mountain mint through the middle of your vegetable beds, not just around the outside.

Then leave it alone and let the bugs go to work.

Flashback to December 2024: Kathy Hochul signed a law banning natural gas production in New York.

Two years later, we are still buying that same gas from Pennsylvania while our bills climb.

When I am Governor, New York will produce its own energy again.

Abolish property taxes.

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: By the stroke of pen and flanked by RFK Jr., President Trump establishes a new US vaccine schedule that decreases the number of jabs from 72 to 11 — and spreads them out over multiple visits, rather than pumping the child all at once

"That's a big one in my book!"

MAHA is alive and well! 🇺🇸

Found out Democrat leadership has instructed their members NOT to sign onto our bill that would cap student loan interest at 2%… because it would make “Republicans” look good ahead of the midterms. So much for caring about people and education.

[Larry Cook @stopvaccinating]

Exactly correct.

[ClarksonsFarm @ClarksonsFarm1]

100% agree!

“We’re Going to have to Address the Rising Instance of Cancer in Relation to Covid Vaccines — For the first time in my career, I’ve seen an 8, 9, and 10 year-old with colon cancer. For the first time in my career, I’ve had a 13-year-old child in my clinic due metastatic pancreatic cancer.”

People need to be held accountable… we simply cannot move on without it. Too many atrocious crimes were committed. Too many lives were ruined and lost.
