CHILLING DETAILS EMERGE ABOUT HEAVILY ARMED SUSPECT AT CALIFORNIA TRUMP GOLF CLUB BEFORE ARREST

 

An armed man, said to be creeping around and monitoring “security-planning activities,” was arrested Sunday with a pistol and ammunition outside Trump National Golf Course Los Angeles — just two days before the president’s visit to the very same location.

Jeanine John Taele, 38, from Downey, Calif., was taken into custody outside the Rancho Palos Verdes site by sheriff’s deputies after federal agents first spotted him lurking in the area, taking photos and videos, and monitoring security-planning activities, law enforcement said.

FROM THE CROTON.NEWS SITE---CROTON'S #1 SOURCE FOR AI HYPERLOCAL NEWS---CROTON PAID FOR THE CAMERAS--LAWSUIT SAYS ICE & 54 OTHER AGENCIES CAN SEARCH THEM WITHOUT A WARRANT

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.



Seven plate readers, bought with a $30,000 village bond plus $9,716 in Rekor license fees, feed a Westchester County database that a class action asks a judge to shut down. The county says its 536 fixed cameras include devices it manages but does not own, and we estimate most were bought by towns like Croton. No village voted on where the pictures go. The lawsuit says no legislature authorized the system at all. The county has to answer by August 31.

By Matthew Broudy · August 4, 2026 · drawn from court filings, the county's FOIL responses, village records and the manufacturer's own documentation

NO COMEBACK FOR EX-SQUAD CORI BUSH--COMES UP DRAMATICALLY SHORT LOSING TO BELL 71%-26%


Cori Bush lost her bitter Democratic primary against incumbent Rep. Wesley Bell Tuesday, two years after the former “Squad” lawmaker vowed to take revenge against the pro-Israel group that contributed to her political downfall....Bush had hoped to ride the wave of anti-Israel sentiment that has propelled several far-left Democrats this cycle back to her old House seat.  The 50-year-old former Black Lives Matter organizer came up dramatically short, losing to Bell 71%-26%, when the Associated Press called the race at 9:02 p.m. ET.  MORE AT Rep.

AND FINALLY:
Clean, Drain, and Dry Your Watercraft to Help Prevent the Spread of Invasive Species

Heading out on the water this summer? Prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species by Cleaning, Draining, and Drying your watercraft and gear before using it in a new water body. It’s one of the best ways to protect your waters from invasive species—and it’s NY state law!

When you pull your boat out of the water: Clean mud, plants, and animals off your watercraft and other equipment and dispose of them in the trash.  Drain water-holding compartments like ballast tanks, live wells, and bilge areas.

Dry everything for 5-7 days in warm, dry conditions. If drying isn’t possible, visit a decontamination station and disinfect boats and equipment with hot water at 140 degrees F for 30 seconds.

Boating in or near the Adirondacks?

All boaters operating any kind of motorized watercraft in the Adirondack Park and within ten miles of the Blue Line are required by law to possess certification that, before launching, their vessel has undergone measures to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species by following the Clean. Drain. Dry. standards.

Explore the newly updated boat steward map!

To find boat launch stewards and decontamination sites near you, visit the boat steward map. Through this interactive map, you can view stewarding locations, photos of local boat launches, and additional details about each site including amenities, parking, and fee information.

GOOD THING MAMDANI GOT DENIED AT FALLEN ARMY HERO'S FUNERAL--THE DIVISIVE MAYOR IS ONLY DRIVEN BY HATRED

Many thanks to sharp-eyed readers for passing all this along. (P.S. We haven't heard about the podcast; please send link if it happens.)



It took a lot of courage for the family of Angel Sarah Rampersad to refuse to allow Mayor Mamdani to speak at her funeral on Friday. The 28-year-old US Army staff sergeant from Queens was killed on July 17, 2026, in an Iranian missile attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan where she was stationed as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the campaign against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
