BEHIND PAYWALL--JUSTICE JACKSON'S LATEST DISSENT REMINDS US SHE REMAINS UNFIT FOR THE SUPREME COURT

There are myriad reasons why Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is unfit to serve on the Supreme Court. Indeed, her primary qualifications — according to President Biden, who nominated her — are that she's Black and a woman. Since she took her seat in June 2022, she has spent every day proving she wasn't selected for her jurisprudence.

A reader recently stopped in Peekskill and was surprised to see that a number of "new businesses" are no longer open, along with endless stretches of "poorly placed" multifamily housing (we'll leave the rest of her commentary out.)

She has been searching for an old article and video here at the blog--"possibly from 2020"---- regarding the city's continued decline/challenges---and seems to remember a WILDER BALTER REREFENCE--but can no longer find it. Can we help?

Response: Well, you may mean this.....from 2019....good luck; go to EverythingCroton: LESSONS FROM PEEKSKILL 2019

A reader remembers a short-lived "TAPAS PLACE" here in the village. Name please?

Response: Croton has had not one, BUT TWO, tapas restaurants. The most recent failed CIRCA 2017/2018, despite being critically acclaimed. (LA SALA). It was where RAGA currently is.

YUKA's LATIN FUSION had TAPAS MONDAYS at one point but may no longer do so. Conract them directly.

IN THE NEWS--THAT ENDS THAT---SUPREME COURT CONVERSION THERAPY RULING IS A WIN FOR FREE SPEECH

Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, Kaley Chiles can go back to doing the work she loves without fear of intervention or punishment from the government.

Chiles, a Colorado licensed therapist, sued the state over a 2019 law that prohibits conversion therapy for minors. As a Christian, Chiles wanted to be able to speak freely with her clients who struggled with their gender about how they can feel comfortable with their biological sex, without turning to drugs or surgeries.

Now she can.

It’s a clear win for free speech and another strong stand for the First Amendment by our country’s highest court. The fact that this was a decisive 8-1 ruling is notable as well. MORE AT Supreme Court conversion therapy ruling is win for free speech | Opinion
