NY residents, follow Alex. She’s doing yeoman’s work, exposing these destructive solar projects in our state. The ONLY benefit will be to those at the top. We need to speak up, for our children’s sake.
Alex Fasulo@alex_fasulo

They want to turn 1,800 acres (total project footprint) of gorgeous, designated grassland habitat and farmland into a 100MW solar complex in Fort Edward, NY. Our state’s own @NYSDEC is looking the other way, allowing the Office of Renewable Energy Siting to sell our land to foreign corporations out of Canada.

I recorded this video the day after I attended the Fort Edward Solar hearing in the town over from my farm (October 2025). What I witnessed changed me forever. NYS sent 2 bureaucrats to “mediate” the meeting… except we weren’t allowed to address them or ask questions. It was all for show. To this day, the @NYSDEC has been ordered to stand down to make way for mass environmental mutilation in the name of “saving the climate.” It’s expected these bureaucrats will issue a final permit to Fort Edward Solar this month. We’re preparing to sue. But I’ll accept federal governmental intervention at any time. We need help here in New York State.

Echoes of War
Echoes of War@EchoesofWarYT·
245 years ago today, a 35-year-old Spanish nobleman fired a single artillery shell that redrew the map of North America, broke British power in the Gulf of Mexico, and arguably saved the American Revolution. His name was Bernardo de Gálvez. He's not in your textbook. He should be. When Spain entered the war against Britain in June 1779, the American cause was bleeding out. Washington's army was unpaid and shrinking. The Continental dollar was worth pennies. The British had taken Savannah and were preparing to take Charleston. France was helping, but France alone couldn't bankrupt the British Empire. Spain could. And in New Orleans sat the man who would prove it. Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid was 33 years old, the governor of Spanish Louisiana, a battle-scarred career officer who had been wounded fighting Apaches in northern Mexico and Algerians in North Africa. The day he learned Spain had declared war, he didn't wait for orders from Madrid. He raised an army of Spanish regulars, Louisiana Creoles, free Black militia from New Orleans, Acadian refugees, German settlers, and Choctaw scouts, and he went on the attack. In three months he took Manchac, Baton Rouge, and Natchez. The next year he took Mobile. The British presence on the Gulf shrank to one last fortress. Pensacola, the capital of British West Florida, defended by Major General John Campbell with 1,500 redcoats, the 3rd Waldeck Regiment of German mercenaries, loyalist battalions from Maryland and Pennsylvania, and a powerful alliance of Creek and Choctaw warriors led by the brilliant mixed-race chief Alexander McGillivray. Gálvez arrived off Pensacola in March 1781 with 7,000 men and a fleet. The Spanish naval commander, Admiral Calbo de Irazábal, refused to enter Pensacola Bay. The entrance was narrow, raked by British guns at Fort Barrancas Coloradas, and treacherous with sandbars. So Gálvez did something insane. He boarded his own little brig, the Galveztown, hoisted his personal pennant, and sailed her into the bay alone, in full view of the British batteries, daring the Royal Navy to sink him. The British fired and missed. The Spanish fleet, shamed, followed him in. For this he was awarded the right to put the words "Yo Solo," meaning "I alone," on his coat of arms by the King of Spain. The siege ground on for two months. Gálvez was shot in the abdomen and the finger directing artillery and refused to leave the field. The British defenses at the Queen's Redoubt, also called the Crescent, held against everything thrown at them. And then, on the morning of May 8, 1781, a Spanish howitzer crew lofted a shell over the parapet. It dropped, by pure luck or perfect skill, directly into the open powder magazine. The explosion killed roughly 100 defenders in a single instant. Waldeck grenadiers, British regulars, loyalists, all gone. The blast tore the redoubt's wall open like paper. Spanish grenadiers and Louisiana militia poured through the breach within minutes and turned the captured British guns on the inner works. Campbell knew it was over. The next morning, May 9, white flags went up. By May 10 the entire province of West Florida belonged to Spain. Over 1,100 British troops marched out as prisoners of war. The strategic consequences were catastrophic for Britain. The Gulf Coast was lost. The Mississippi was a Spanish river from source to sea. Britain could no longer reinforce its southern armies by sea from the Caribbean, and the Royal Navy's Caribbean squadron had to be redeployed. Five months later, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, in a siege funded in part by 500,000 silver pesos that Gálvez and the people of Havana raised in a matter of days to pay French Admiral de Grasse's fleet to come north. Without that money, no French fleet. Without the French fleet, no Yorktown. Without Yorktown, no independence on those terms. Gálvez was made Count of Gálvez and Viscount of Galveztown. The bay he charted in Texas still bears his name, Galveston. His portrait hangs in the United States Capitol by act of Congress. In 2014, he was made an honorary citizen of the United States, an honor given to only eight people in American history, including Lafayette, Churchill, and Mother Teresa. He died of yellow fever in Mexico City at 40 years old, three years after the war ended. Most Americans have never heard his name.

In 458 BC, Rome was on the brink of collapse. An invading army had trapped the Roman consul and his legion in a mountain pass. Panic spread through the city. The Senate did the only thing they could think of: They sent messengers to find a 60-year-old farmer plowing his field. His name was Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. He had once been a senator, then lost his fortune paying his son's bail. Now he worked his own four-acre plot just to feed his family. When the Senate's envoys arrived, they found him sweating behind a plow. They asked him to put on his toga so they could deliver an official message. The message: Rome was making him dictator. Absolute power. Total command of the army. No checks. No oversight. No term limit. He accepted. Within 16 days, Cincinnatus had raised an army, marched out, surrounded the enemy, and forced their surrender. The republic was saved. He had legal authority to rule for six months. He could have stayed. He could have expanded his power. He could have done what every other ruler in human history did when handed unlimited control. Instead, he resigned on day 16. He took off the toga, walked back to his farm, and finished plowing the field he'd left half-done. Twenty years later, when Rome faced another crisis, they called him back. He was 80 years old. He took command, crushed the conspiracy, and resigned again, this time after just 21 days. He died poor. On his farm. 2,200 years later, when George Washington was offered a kingship after winning the American Revolution, he refused and went home to Mount Vernon. The reason he was hailed as "the American Cincinnatus" is because Europeans literally could not believe a man who had won would willingly give up power. King George III, on hearing Washington would resign rather than rule, said: "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." The lesson isn't that Cincinnatus was humble. The lesson is that for most of human history, the people most qualified to lead were the ones who didn't want to. And the moment a society starts rewarding those who chase power instead of those who flee from it is the moment the republic begins to die. Cincinnati, Ohio is named after him. Most people who live there have no idea why.

There is a coffee shop in Singapore that serves one of the most magical drinks you can imagine. At Sweet Little Rain, an ordinary Americano is transformed into something almost poetic. Instead of being served on its own, the cup arrives with a delicate cloud of cotton candy suspended above it. As the hot steam rises, the cloud slowly melts, dissolving into gentle drops that fall into the coffee below, like a tiny, sweet rainstorm. Bit by bit, the drink changes before your eyes, shifting from a bold, bitter brew into something softer and subtly sweet. It’s not just a coffee, it’s a moment, a performance, and a reminder that even the simplest things can be turned into something surprising.

The First Three Colors You See Reveal How Others Experience Your Energy The first three colors that stand out to you in this puzzle may reveal the subtle energy you carry; the way others feel your presence, even before a word is spoken. Some energies are calming. Some are grounding. Some are powerful, deep, or difficult to read. And sometimes, what others feel in your presence reflects not only who you are but what they have yet to understand within themselves. How it works: • Look at the letter grid • Find the first three color names that stand out to you • Read the meanings below What your colors may reveal: Red – You carry bold passion and undeniable power. Your presence is intense and magnetic, often felt before it is understood. Blue – You project calm intelligence and quiet confidence. Your composure can unsettle those who are overwhelmed by inner noise. Green – You radiate grounded strength and inner balance. Your stability reflects a sense of peace others may still be seeking. Yellow – You shine with warmth, clarity, and natural light. Your energy illuminates what others try to keep hidden. Grey – You embody neutrality, maturity, and emotional control. You are not easily read or influenced, which can feel intimidating to others. Purple – You carry mystery, creativity, and deeper awareness. Your presence often feels different and not everyone knows how to interpret that. Brown – You radiate quiet resilience and steady reliability. Your grounded nature reflects a strength that feels deeply rooted. Violet – You carry intuition, spiritual depth, and inner transformation. Your energy can feel profound to those not used to that level of awareness. White – You reflect clarity, sincerity, and inner truth. Your presence can reveal what is genuine — and what is not. The order matters... First color – your strongest projected energy Second color – what others feel but may not understand Third color – the deeper layer of your presence others sense over time The way others experience you is not always spoken but it is always felt. What were the first three colors you saw? ~ James William Kaler ✨🙌🏾💫

Very Important Message!! Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood. This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants! Make sure to share this post!

Stanford scientists found one bacteria missing in almost every obese, diabetic, and inflamed patient they studied. It's supposed to make up 3-5% of your gut. In people with metabolic problems, it's often 3,000 times lower. This bacteria has one job. It lives in the mucus lining of your gut wall, The last layer of defense between your bloodstream and the outside world. It eats old mucus, stimulates your body to make fresh mucus, and seals the wall tight. When it's there, your gut barrier is strong. When it's gone, the wall thins: Weight becomes harder to lose Food particles leak through Blood sugar misbehaves Cholesterol creeps up Inflammation climbs Researchers at Nature Medicine gave this bacteria to overweight adults for 3 months. The results: - Cholesterol dropped - Insulin sensitivity improved - Liver inflammation markers fell - Gut barrier function strengthened - Body weight started trending down without a single diet change Here's what people are reporting when they rebuild this strain and its probiotic cousins: Blood sugar stabilizing Cravings for sugar fading Bloating disappearing in days Skin clearing after years of struggle Clothes fitting differently in a matter of weeks What destroys this bacteria? Alcohol Antibiotics Chronic stress Artificial sweeteners High-fat, high-sugar processed diets You can't buy this specific strain at most health food stores. But you can feed the bacteria you already have, and colonize with related strains that do similar work - At levels 10x higher than any capsule. The trick is fermentation. A jar of homemade yogurt fermented with the right strain for 36 hours at the right temperature can deliver 200+ billion live probiotic cultures per serving. A store-bought yogurt? Maybe 1 billion if you're lucky. Dr. William Davis (author of "Super Gut") has spent years documenting exactly how to do this at home. I've been making it myself for 3 years. The difference in how I feel is night and day. Comment PROBIOTICS and I'll send you the free guide on how to make unlimited probiotics at home. P.S. MUST Follow for me to DM you.
