If @GovKathyHochul and the corrupt solar con artists - filling her campaign coffers- get their way our beautiful land will be covered with solar sprawl that costs taxpayers and ratepayers billions while providing no jobs, no energy and no benefits to our communities. Thanks to @alex_fasulo and @johnrich for joining the fight!
Floating solar projects? What could possibly go wrong putting glass panels containing toxic elements like lead and cadmium on our pristine waterways? It's not like NY gets hail storms, wind storms or ice storms.🤦♂️Do you guys ever think things through? https://t.co/85TqcvE5GY
It was my honor to be able to join @USDA@SecRollins at the fifth generation Carey dairy farm this week to hear from upstate New York farmers about their opposition to @GovKathyHochul’s wind and solar mandates being put on beautiful prime farmland. Let’s end this madness NOW together with @johnrich 🇺🇸
Sen. John Fetterman when asked about Graham Platner, he said who P hustle? The reporter with a puzzled and perturbed look on her face replied: is that what you call him Fetterman replied: no that’s what he calls himself. 🤣
🚨WOW: Nancy Pelosi just went berserk & demanded LindellTV reporter @AlisonInTheKnow "SHUT UP" and "GET AWAY FROM ME" after being asked why she blocked the National Guard on January 6.
Great work, Alison!

Our NY electric bills went up again this past June 1st.
Do you know why?
These are Public Service Commission-approved rate hikes that affect NYSEG and RG&E customers. The increase in your bill will be reflected in the delivery charge by the end of the month.
The anticipated increases are as follows:
NYSEG electric: 3.7%
NYSEG gas: 0.5%
RG&E electric: 4.0%
RG&E gas: 1.5%
Our electric bills are unaffordable in this state because New York politicians virtue-signaled their way to a place where they are preparing us for power outages this summer during "peak energy demands."
The delivery charge on your electric bill is being used to court foreign solar and wind developers, through New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, which is sitting on an excess of $2 billion+ dollars. These solar/wind developers need to be promised tens of millions in subsidies and credits if they are going to build in this state, and NYSERDA is sitting on YOUR money to socialize the failed rollout of an intermittent form of energy that hasn't lowered our electric bills or improved our grid.
In fact, since ORES started building its ecological detention centers, our electric bills have dramatically gone UP.
Notice the customers most affected by rate increases are the same customers that live in the highest density of ORES wind and solar facilities.
Commercial solar generates at 15% of its annual potential in Upstate NY, closer to 10-12% out in Western New York. This isn't a fix for our grid and they know it. But it was never about fixing the grid to begin with. It was always about cashing in on the biggest money-laundering scheme that has ever occurred between our state and foreign companies.
You and I are paying for it via our electric bills and through our taxes.
Ed Davey was absolutely fine politicising George Floyd’s death. Another two-tier politician.
Equal laws and fair policing are political, as they themselves have campaigned for when BLM kicked off.
They don’t get to change their minds now because white people are angry.
I wonder who at The White House might be able to make this happen? This man has earned it, and what a GREAT thing he's doing for people in need around America! This is what "Love Thy Neighbor" is all about🇺🇸
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
First the farmland.
Then the forests.
Now the lakes.
New York's Climate Act is becoming a blueprint for industrializing every natural resource we have.
Floating solar-what happens when storms, hail, and ice tear through these installations?

The richest man in America signed a document that could have gotten him hanged, and when someone sneered that he was safe because no one would know which Charles Carroll to come for, he picked up the pen and told the British exactly where to find him.
His name was Charles Carroll, and the colonies were crawling with men who shared it. His own father was Charles Carroll of Annapolis. So when the Declaration of Independence came to him for signing in 1776, a delegate made a cruel little joke. He said Carroll risked nothing by signing. There were so many Charles Carrolls that the King's men would never know which one to hang.
Carroll didn't argue. He leaned over the page and added three words to his signature: "of Carrollton." The name of his estate. His address. He was the only signer in the entire room who wrote down where he lived, and he did it on purpose, so that if the British wanted to come hang the traitor, they would know exactly which door to knock on.
That is who Charles Carroll of Carrollton was.
Here is what makes the moment even sharper. He was not a man with little to lose. He was the single wealthiest man in the thirteen colonies and the largest private landowner among them. While George Washington and John Hancock get talked about as rich men, it was Carroll who topped them all. When he signed, he was wagering the biggest personal fortune in America against a noose.
And he was the last man anyone would have expected to be there at all. Carroll was Catholic. In colonial Maryland, a colony founded as a Catholic refuge that had since turned on its own, Catholics could not vote. They could not hold public office. They could not worship in public. The most educated, wealthiest man in America was, in the eyes of the law, a second-class subject barred from the very government he was helping to create. He had spent seventeen years being educated by Jesuits in France and spoke five languages fluently, and back home he still could not legally cast a ballot.
So he became the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence, putting his name on a revolution that he hoped would build a country with room for men like him. That was its own enormous bet, made by a man the existing system had already shut out.
Then he simply outlived everyone.
Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same astonishing day, July 4, 1826, exactly fifty years after the Declaration. When they were gone, Charles Carroll of Carrollton was the last living signer left on earth. For six more years he was the final human link to that room in Philadelphia, the last hand that had signed, a living relic of the founding that ordinary Americans traveled to see and shake.
He finally died in November 1832 at the age of ninety-five, fifty-six years after he wrote his address on a treason document and dared the empire to come find him.
The richest man in America. The only Catholic. The last one standing. He had more to lose than any of them, every legal reason to stay quiet, and he signed his full address anyway.
We remember the names we were handed in school. We forget the man who made sure his couldn't be mistaken for anyone else's.
Which Founding Father do you think history shortchanged the most?
It's genuinely incredible to see how pissed off Upstate New Yorkers are getting about the solar farm scandals and about the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES).
ORES exists solely to usurp control from local governments in NYS -- and judging by Facebook comments on virtually any environmental news headline, people of practically EVERY political persuasion and background are officially angry about it.
Major props to @alex_fasulo for spreading the word on this. If there is anything I can do to help translate peoples' anger about ORES into real action to help dismantle Albany's diabolical plot to cover our great state in solar farms -- let me know. I'm all in. Let's shut them down.
There's a 911 in Upstate New York!! Ain't that right @GovKathyHochul ?? Kathy, why do you hate Upstate farmers so much? Let's see what America has to say about this, shall we? If you stand with American Farmers, hit REPOST. Volume UP!👇
