Wait is that Wendy Bell?

Off to NY. Today begins the first official day of truly moving forward with my life after being being falsely charged, convicted, and government supervised for 4 years for a “crime” I did not commit.

I’ll begin looking for a new place to live for the rest of this year in NYC. The victory of a Democrat Socialist as the Democrat party candidate for mayor of NYC in this year’s election was a calling to me: Get back to the city you love NOW. Fight to save NY. This city needs you.

If NYC falls to socialism, so shall cities and states all across America. It is a door that can not be opened.

My first event is Sunday, July 27th in Union Square Park in NYC. I really need volunteers (both in person and at home to make phone calls, send emails, etc).

If you can help me, please go our website and click the volunteer button to sign up to help! 🙏🇺🇸

Still question a study that shows a 7.5% drop in Butler Co over the next couple of decades when it has grown over 10% in past couple decades.

Meanwhile the study shows Erie and Indiana increasing by 2050 despite being on steady declines for decades.

Makes zero sense.

Cheap rates for AI and Bitcoin, but not for you.

The build out of new data centers could squeeze supply on the electric grid, driving up prices. Groups are calling for new regulations to make sure "large load users" pay their fair share.

A Butler County sheriff signed an agreement last month partnering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, leaving some county residents on edge.
