TRUMP'S IMMIGRATION WINNING STREAK AT SUPREME COURT COULD END AS BIRTHRIGHT DECISION LOOMS

Life...you win some...you lose some....coming down the line this week:


JACK BIRLE, WASHINGTON EXAMINER

President Donald Trump's immigration agenda has notched several key wins as the Supreme Court's term draws to a close, but a key loss appears imminent on one of the high court's final opinion days.

The Supreme Court is wrapping up its 2025-26 term with likely two opinion days beginning Monday, when the justices will issue opinions in the eight outstanding cases, including many of the most closely watched disputes argued before the high court this year.

CURRENTLY TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA--WHERE ARE CROTON'S 250 BANNERS AND FLAGS? POT SHOP, BESS AND MORE

We're not on social media but we often get to hear about it---and are sometimes sent screenshots.

Currently trending--what's being billed as "the shameful absence of municipality-placed 250-THEMED FLAGS AND BANNERS in the village". 

One poster, who had been associated with Croton's bicentennial committee in 1976, said that if not for the efforts of private citizens, a few stand-out businesses, and some local historians, one would never know the nation was celebrating such a momentous occasion..."nothing screams 250 REVOLUTIONARY WAR like rainbows and oppression" said one poster wryly.  

There's no point in going on further about this---it's all very easy to find---and most of us have chosen our paths.....there will be barbecues, block parties, fireworks.....many thanks, however, to the residents who ordered and delivered the free 250 lawn signs.......

****************

Still trending: the village pot shop renovations continue, and many folks are wondering if this will be a 7 days a week operation and how early/how late it will be open. Stay tuned.
