IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR...
HUGO GURDON, BIDEN JUST WON'T GO AWAY
BIG DISCUSSION ON SOCIAL MEDIA LOCALLY--this writer has A LOT OF FANS APPARENTLY----
Some of us haven’t yet finished wishing Barack Obama would just go away. A decade after leaving the Oval Office, the former president still hovers over our politics issuing sanctimonious tweets in support of dishonest causes, such as the Democrats’ botched gerrymander in Virginia.
But now, even with one ex-president still loitering with intent, there is another whose absence we constantly crave but are repeatedly denied. In this desire, we are certainly joined by most Democrats, for the ex-president in question is Joe Biden, whose already scant capacities dwindled into non-existence in 2024, a diminishment that led ineluctably to the blue party’s crushing electoral defeat at the hands of Donald Trump.
You’d think that after such a humiliating end to his hapless presidency, Biden would willingly fade into the gloaming in Delaware, avoiding attention as much as possible. But no, Obama’s one-time veep keeps drawing attention to himself, not so much by bouncing back into the public eye as by rolling across our vision like a thick incoming fog.
The latest instance of this politico-climatic phenomenon came in a TV interview for Sunday Morning given by his wife, Jill Biden....MORE AT Biden just won’t go away

THANK YOU TOM FARANDA'S FOLLY--HONORING A PRIEST-VETERAN AND CROTON RESIDENT, PHOTOS TOO
This is part of a Memorial Day presentation, put together and written by my friend ER. Because of the weather the service with over 250 attendees was in the HNM gym. The pictures are of Fr. Tony Fagnani’s youngest brother Attilio and his family. Very glad they were able to attend.
Fox-Eklof American American Legion Post #505 would like to recognize Father Anthony Gabriel Fagnani [FAG-YANI], who as a First Lieutenant and Regimental Chaplain, was wounded on the front lines of Korea in 1952, while serving with the 179th Infantry Regiment, of the 45th Infantry Division, and awarded The Purple Heart Medal. (Incidentally, two other Croton veterans served with Father Tony at the same time somewhere in that division.) READ AND SEE MORE AT Honoring a priest-veteran and Croton resident – Tom Faranda's Folly
