New York didn’t stumble into an energy crisis. Albany built one. A decade ago, New York’s grid ran on a balanced mix of nuclear, natural gas, and renewables, and families paid about 18¢ per kWh for electricity. Then Albany shut down Indian Point in 2020 and 2021, eliminating 2,000 megawatts of clean, reliable, around-the-clock power. What happened next? Natural gas jumped from 36% to 47% of the grid. Renewables barely moved. Electricity prices climbed to nearly 30¢ per kWh, about 70% higher than the 2016 low and now among the highest in America. And the craziest part? New York sits on top of some of the most abundant, affordable natural gas in the country, yet politicians blocked the pipelines needed to bring it to consumers. The solution isn’t complicated: finish the pipelines, keep nuclear and build more of it, complete the Champlain Hudson transmission line, unlock the jobs and mineral rights of the Southern Tier, and eliminate the hidden fees driving up utility bills. Affordable, reliable power is a choice. As Comptroller, I’ll be the watchdog who holds Albany accountable for the cost of that choice.

🚨 BUSTED BIG TIME! 🚨 Democrat Georgia State Rep. Karen Bennett — the loudmouth BLM activist who screamed to DEFUND THE POLICE — just got caught RED-HANDED stealing nearly $14,000 in fraudulent pandemic unemployment benefits she wasn’t entitled to! Federal grand jury INDICTED her. She resigned in disgrace, pleaded GUILTY, and got hit with restitution. Imagine that. A “public servant” who wanted to defund cops… turning around and defrauding taxpayers during a crisis. Hypocrisy on steroids. These are the people running your government. Share this before they memory-hole it! 🔥 #DrainTheSwamp #DemocratCorruption #Busted

INSANE 🚨 Michigan election officials were ordered to destroy public election records just 7 days after certification Federal law requires preserving records for 22 months - Nearly 500,000 mismatched votes in Michigan - 90,000 extra absentee ballots in Michigan - 22,534 mismatched votes in Fulton County - Waived signature verification requirement for absentee ballots - Placeholder voter data used in Fulton County - Late-night ballot surges with no chain of custody “That’s a direct violation of U.S. Code Title 52 — This isn’t isolated. It happened in Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and it’s still happening” To give you some context on who’s speaking, this is Patrick Colbeck. He’s a former Michigan State Senator so he knows what he’s talking about He even served on as Vice Chair of Elections and Government Reform Committee

Minor detail. They’ve been under federal Investigation since the Biden admin. This isn’t new.
California Governor Gavin Newsom says he and his wife, Jen, are the subject of a federal investigation because he’s considering a run for president and has called Trump out for his corruption. Newsom: “In recent days, federal agents have knocked on the doors of family, friends, and former employees, not because they found a crime, because they’re simply trying to find one. They’re demanding records. They’re abusing the grand jury process, digging through years and years of random documents. Donald Trump isn’t just coming after me because of my mean tweets. He’s coming after me because I’m considering running for president, because he hates that I’ve consistently called him out over and over again for his lies and deceit.”

🚨 WOAH 🚨 MASSIVE Democrats ActBlue money laundering scam uncovered Democrats are pretending to buy $200,000 houses and CREATING $200 MILLION DOLLAR MORTGAGES and then laundering the money through wire transfers This isn’t uncommon, THEY’RE FOUND ALL OVER THE NATION RAN THROUGH ACTBLUE “Magic mortgages — Let's imagine you buy a house — for $200,000 and it's funded by one of the North American banks. We'll just say Wells Fargo, please don't sue me. All the records, including the mortgage, the deed of trust, the Alta insurance policy, all of those records are recorded in the county record. Then just a few minutes later, your $200,000 house suddenly has a $200 million magic mortgage that comes through. It's nothing but a wire that goes through the title company. There's no lender involved because it's a hard money loan, what they call a cash hard money loan. But because it goes through a title company, there's no notation of who the lender is and it goes on through the system. Now what's interesting is, and this is what caught our attention, these are ActBlue officers, corporate officers. Once we found one, it led to another and, and another, and another and another. So we have them all over the nation. And this is just one small fragment of the human map. You leave this digital dust, if you will. This is one small fragment.“ This is one of the many ways Democrats launder Dark Money And to explain this in ver simple terms that makes this easy to understand, - Democrats have homes that aren’t very expensive - They take out massive loans against these homes, this happens around election cycles - Now they have tons of money for their campaigns It’s fraud

This man mocked a girl who attempted committed suicide. Had a Nazi tattoo. Sent inappropriate text to women, and he is leading. It’s not a rumor or embellishment that he did this. He did it. The Dems are hypocrites and have zero moral compass. If he was a Republican, he would have had to drop out if the race. They are really backing this man. Wild.

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America. A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact. It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy: 56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases. More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide. 343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information. That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison. The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once: The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry. Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate. Now look at the individual leaderboard: - Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100 - Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800 different tickers - Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late - Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked. She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO. The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine. The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero. And the cruelest part is this: A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed. But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is. They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing. The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

🚨 Buzz Patterson — Air Force Lt. Colonel who carried the nuclear football for Bill Clinton, lived in the White House, and traveled everywhere with them — has a message for Hillary: “Ma’am, I saw it all up close for two years. While Bill was getting blowjobs in the Oval Office and groping Air Force enlisted women on Air Force One, you and your staff treated the military like servants. The disrespect was constant. You lecture about ‘respect for the people’s house’ while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged it off. And when you left in 2001? You and your crew trashed the place — vandalism, theft, glue in drawers, obscene messages, and filth. The GAO confirmed it.” Hillary’s “USA 250” post just got wrecked by someone who was actually there. Hypocrisy level: Clinton. #HillaryClinton #Clintons #WhiteHouse #BuzzPatterson #AmericaFirst

🚨 TREASON EXPOSED: The Greatest Coup in American History! 🚨 James Woods just dropped a BOMB: The 2016 Russia Collusion Hoax wasn’t just a lie — it was a full-blown insurrection by the outgoing President against the incoming one. The most alarming act of treason since Lincoln’s assassination. Now Tulsi Gabbard, as DNI, has DECLASSIFIED the smoking gun: Russia DID NOT sway the 2016 election. Zero. Zilch. But the Deep State, crooked intel officials, and their media puppets spent YEARS weaponizing fake dossiers, secret meetings, and lies to destroy a duly elected President and tear America apart. This wasn’t a “hoax.” This was an attempted overthrow of the United States government. The question is no longer “Did it happen?” The question is: When do the handcuffs come out? RT if you want justice. 🔥 #RussiaHoax #TulsiGabbard #DeepStateExposed #Treason

🇺🇸 Alejandro Villanueva. Soldier Field. 2017. Entire Steelers team stays hidden in the tunnel. He wants to see his flag. He walks out alone. Hand over heart. Stands by himself for the anthem. Respect, from all of us🫡🇺🇸
🇺🇸 Most Badass Football Players: Combat Veterans Edition #7 Alejandro Villanueva Alejandro Villanueva, an Army Ranger and two time Pro Bowler, was one badass football player. Born in 1988 and raised in a military family, Villanueva attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he primarily played offensive tackle for the Army Black Knights. After graduating in 2010 and being commissioned as an infantry officer, he served with the 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division. During his first deployment to Afghanistan as a rifle platoon leader, Villanueva’s unit responded to a call involving a local teacher who had opened fire on Taliban fighters near a mosque. As they moved in, the platoon walked into a heavy Taliban ambush. One of his soldiers, Pfc. Jesse Dietrich, was shot near the armpit. While under intense enemy fire, Villanueva pulled the wounded Dietrich down an alley and into a second mosque so a medic could begin treating him. He then returned to the fight. Later, when the medic told him the wounded needed to be moved to a safer location for medevac, Villanueva personally carried another injured soldier on his shoulders through the danger zone to a nearby school, where they waited for a helicopter. Despite these efforts, Dietrich tragically died of his wounds on the helicopter. The loss deeply affected him. For his actions in rescuing wounded soldiers while under enemy fire, Villanueva was awarded the Bronze Star with “V” for valor in combat. He had earned his Ranger tab and served two additional tours in Afghanistan with the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. Many of those operations remain classified. He was also awarded a second Bronze Star for service. After nearly five years of active duty and three combat deployments, Villanueva left the Army as a captain to pursue a career in the NFL. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent before joining the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he became one of the league’s most reliable left tackles. During his time with the NFL, he started over 100 games and was selected to the Pro Bowl twice, in 2017 and 2018. Alejandro Villanueva is an American Badass. Thank you, Captain! 🫡🇺🇸

President Trump told the New York Times the deal allows Iran to enrich uranium for non-military purposes. Cue the left and Obama rushing in to cast doubt, claiming it's "not significantly different" from his old deal that got ripped up. Fox's Marc Thiessen just torched that narrative: "It's the exact same deal... except for the 14,000 military strikes that buried their entire nuclear program under rubble so deep the Iranians can't even reach it. We destroyed 82% of their defense industrial base. Sunk their entire Navy. Grounded their entire Air Force. And oh yeah, the Ayatollah, Qasem Soleimani, and the top two tiers of their leadership are DEAD. Other than that... totally the same as Obama's deal 😂" HUGE differences: Strait of Hormuz traffic resuming after the blockade is lifted Nuclear "dust" from Operation Midnight Hammer being removed in the next 60 days Sanctions relief only as they comply (performance-based) Ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon Trump didn't just sign a piece of paper, he broke their regime's back first, then negotiated from overwhelming strength. Obama gave them cash and breathing room. Trump gave them rubble and reality. This is what winning looks like.

Turns out the FDA knew the side effects of the COVID "jab". And lied.
The conspiracy theorists were right A new FDA data mining report shows they knew the Covid vaccine had 25 major side effects and they all conspired to hide it from the public Senator Ron Johnson’s Senate PSI Majority Staff Interim Report has been released on FDA data mining and the March 2021 analysis by Dr. Ana Szarfman There was a “masking” in the standard FDA system, where signals from Pfizer and Moderna reportedly cancelled each other out Meaning they lied and hid the side effects from the public and told you it was 100% safe and effective I have compared the whole list for you: Neurological & Dysautonomia • Bell’s palsy (Suppressed Signal) • Paraesthesia ear (Suppressed Signal) • Bradykinesia (Suppressed Signal) • Basal ganglia stroke (Suppressed Signal) • Cerebral artery occlusion (Suppressed Signal) • Thalamic infarction • Sinus rhythm abnormality • Agonal rhythm • Diaphragmatic spasm • Dementia (Pfizer) Cardiac • Sudden cardiac death (Suppressed Signal) • Acute left ventricular failure (Suppressed Signal) • Diastolic dysfunction (Suppressed Signal) • Ejection fraction abnormal (Suppressed Signal) • Hypertensive emergency (Suppressed Signal) • Blood pressure systolic changes (Suppressed Signal) • Aortic stenosis (Suppressed Signal) • Cardiac failure chronic • Acute myocardial infarction (Pfizer, Moderna) • Cardiac telemetry abnormal (Pfizer) (Suppressed Signal) Vascular & Pulmonary • Pulmonary infarction (Suppressed Signal) • Embolic stroke • Ischaemic stroke • Aortic aneurysm rupture • May-Thurner syndrome • Hypomagnesaemia (Suppressed Signal) Other • Cholecystitis acute (Suppressed Signal) • AST/ALT ratio abnormal • Mastoid disorder • Cardiac assistance device user • Brain natriuretic peptide increased • Asymptomatic COVID-19 (Pfizer) (Suppressed Signal) The FDA’s standard analytical method allegedly masked “obscured” statistical safety signals in the data Aka they lied
