@FoxNews 9AM SUNRISES ARE WORSE (and fatal)! Stop the ridiculous Sunshine Protection Act. Replace with the Sunshine for Our Kids Act, for permanent Standard Time, MAHA, and states’ rights!

FOUR different lawsuits were filed in Montgomery County, New York yesterday against the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (ORES).

The Town of Root, the Town of Canajoharie, Montgomery County, and Residents for the Preservation of the Mohawk Valley each filed their own lawsuit against ORES and the New York State Department of Public Service in the case of Flat Creek Solar.

That name might sound familiar to you all. The proposed Flat Creek Solar project site contains eagles' nests. The picture attached below is one that I took, right in Canajoharie, of a mature eagle within the facility map.

Residents in the area have made ORES and the @NYSDEC aware there are eagles present and nesting. The DEC either doesn't respond to the emails, or uploads them to the ORES docket REDACTED.

For a county, two towns, and a nonprofit to have to SUE to defend itself against authoritarian bureaucratic overreach coming out of Albany, New York, treating our rural counties like a dumping ground for their renewable energy experiments... should tell you how dire this has become.

It is unprecedented for a county and towns to stand up to ORES like Montgomery County has. They are a model county when it comes to going up against the "powers that be" no matter the fall out.

This same county filed THREE prior lawsuits against ORES in the case of Mill Point Solar last month as well.

In the four newly filed lawsuits, each one brings its own angle to how ORES has failed rural New York.

Together, the lawsuits over Flat Creek Solar argue ORES:
- Denied meaningful participation.
- Denied party status.
- Refused to hold hearings.
- Waived local laws improperly.
- Issued the permit anyway.

Bravo to the men and women of Montgomery County putting up the fight of a lifetime. And none of this is cheap! They are paying to preserve what's left of our Upstate NY rural heritage.

This should be national news.

@Got2beerealG @seasons454584 @alex_fasulo Here you go! I hope New Yorkers will join me in advocating for my bill by telling the governor and legislative majorities that you support it.

"You go out of curiosity prying into a bad book, and you are making as dangerous an experiment as the man who should take a lighted torch into a gunpowder mill to find out whether there is any danger of its blowing up. He will find out, but the experiment will never be of any advantage to anybody." (De Witt Talmage)

Permanent Daylight Saving Time? No, thanks! Let's end clock change with permanent Standard Time and keep our mornings bright! ☀️

[Sarah Ingram @Sarahs_Stitches]

Snow day perks:
✅ Having time to cook eggs for breakfast
✅ Working from home/not having to drive in the snow
✅ Browsing the @rareseeds catalogue and planning the garden
Priceless: watching the cats fight over who gets to sit in front of the heater. 😹

If NY didn’t fall back to Standard Time, sunrise would later than 8am for 3 months, as late as 8:45am. Stop the spring forward, ditch DST, and stay on permanent Standard Time!

[Sarah Ingram @Sarahs_Stitches]

@ChrchCurmudgeon An excellent recommendation, thank you.

[Tara Ross @TaraRoss]

Permanent DST will not give you more daylight hours. There is less sunlight in winter. Government cannot fix that. It can only steal sunlight from mornings, then pretend it solved your problem.

This government interference failed in the 70s. It will fail again. #HistoryMatters

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

Our hearts love permanent Standard Time, too! https://t.co/nseFQIzpqf

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

And every morning on Daylight Saving Time! Restore permanent Standard Time if you enjoy sleeping in.

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

Days are naturally lengthening, and you may be noticing it! We are long past our earliest sunsets, and sunrise times are starting to come back. No Daylight Saving Time required! ☀️

Three years ago today, I woke up and set a trap to catch a crook —

Farm Credit’s private lawyers had extorted us for months with threats of losing our farm if we refused to sign a legal release swearing to confidentiality as to everything we knew of the frauds being perpetuated within the Farm Credit System; but I was not taking a chance that they would later claim they had no intent to follow through with their egregious and illegal threats.

The email below, in which I put blood in the water for those sharks, led to a recorded call taking place 72 hours later, wherein the Farm Credit lawyer unwittingly admitted to it all; that we were targeted and faced the potential of losing our farm if we did not do exactly as we were told in staying quiet.

But because President Joe Biden had failed to appoint a Farm Credit Board, as he was required to do under federal law, we had no recourse but to sell land and our home and a significant portion of our cattle herd to pay off a farm loan 20 years early, in order to escape their vile, extortionate scheme.

We are still fighting the battle three years later; now in court against President Biden and others who allowed these atrocities to take place against America’s farmers.

We will ultimately prevail; but to be clear, the reckoning will be greatly accelerated by ousting the Democratic Party from its grip over federal agencies like Farm Credit.

While the Harris Team refused to speak with us at all over the changes needed to support the farmers within the U.S. Farm Credit System, Robert Kennedy, Jr. visited with us at length to discuss the problems and the solutions; and based on that and more, I believe he will make a difference in the future of American agriculture if given the opportunity by the voters today.

As someone who has spent the last three years of their life fighting the Biden and Harris Administration, I urge you not to give them further control over our livelihoods.

A change is desperately needed.
