EMILY KOPP, ALEX BERENSON, PODCAST 8/1---FAUCI'S DIARY AND IF....PAID SUBSCRIBERS ONLY FOR REAL TIME....

The revelations in Dr. Anthony S. Fauci’s “diary" — as well as Fauci’s stunning decision Wednesday to take the Fifth Amendment before Congress — deserve a podcast.

No, they demand a podcast.

Tomorrow at 4 p.m. Eastern, Emily Kopp and I are meeting that demand.

For years, Emily has investigated Fauci’s links to the Wuhan lab that is the likely source of Covid, so she’s the perfect person to discuss this week’s news. (This will be our second podcast — we had a great discussion in March on the Food and Drug Administration and vaccines.)

Emily and I have already been debating what comes next for Fauci, so expect a lively conversation!

This is a special bonus event for paid subscribers — only paid subscribers can see us talk in real time and ask questions. You can sign up here. (If you aren’t a paid subscriber, you will have a chance to see the conversation later.)

OF POSSIBLE USE FOR FUTURE MEETINGS--HARMON MULTIFAMILY/AFFORDABLE HOUSING/ RENTALS, CONDOS, WHATEVER IN THE CROTON POINT/HARMON/SOUTH RIVERSIDE AREA

How well we remember these reports and the assurances by our assorted village boards that we had paid for the necessary advice from varied consultants and "the experts"---all these obstacles could be avoided through homeowner easements, government grants/cash/incentives etc. You are encouraged to read this 2005 VILLAGE OF CROTON-ON-HUDSON CROTON-HARMON STATION STUDY. SEE IT AT Microsoft Word - Final Report 5 2 05.doc

You are also encouraged to read the 2003 VILLAGE OF CROTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN adopted in January 2003. This foundational plan extensively details zoning limits, infrastructure capacities (including sewer easements, pump stations, and traffic bottlenecks), and explicit rules regarding multifamily density. It identifies the South Riverside/Harmon corridor as a major commercial/residential center but cautions against over-development due to structural and environmental constraints--more at EverythingCroton: A READER HAS PASSED ALONG THE FOLLOWING REGARDING DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH RIVERSIDE/HARMON CORRIDOR

And finally, the 2021 TOD analysis for Croton Point Area prepared for the village by AKRF--some astonishing photos of where some very big buildings could go--EverythingCroton: 2021 TOD ANALYSIS OF PARCELS PREPARED BY AKRF FOR THE VILLAGE

GOOD LUCK everyone. Hopefully the weather will be better for the next meeting.

UNREAL IMAGES--SPAIN DEPLOYS MILITARY AFTER THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS OVERWHELM BORDER ENCLAVE

Spain is deploying its military to the North African enclave of Ceuta after thousands of migrants overwhelmed the territory's border with Morocco, prompting a major security response as officials confirmed at least 18 people died during the crossings.

The Spanish government said the armed forces will support the Civil Guard in restoring order after local officials warned the city could no longer handle the influx. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska are expected to visit Ceuta as Madrid scrambles to contain the crisis.

The surge marks one of the largest migrant waves to hit Ceuta since 2021, when more than 8,000 people entered the Spanish territory over two days, triggering a diplomatic dispute between Spain and Morocco.

FROM CONGRESSMAN MIKE LAWLER --LAWLER SECURES $2MILLION FOR NORTH STATE ROAD IN THE TOWN OF OSSINING

Proud to secure $2 million for the North State Road Water Main Replacement Initiative in the Town of Ossining through the FY24 and FY26 appropriations packages. This funding will upgrade Ossining’s aging water distribution system along North State Road by replacing cast-iron water mains that have experienced frequent breaks and service disruptions in recent years. These investments will improve water reliability for nearly 38,000 users, reduce costly repairs, protect public health, and strengthen the long-term resilience of the community’s infrastructure for years to come. In total, I secured $31 million in the FY26 Appropriations Package for projects across New York’s 17th District. VIDEO AT (4404) Rep.

WE LOVE FINDING VINTAGE ADS---AND IT'S EVEN BETTER WHEN THERE'S A CROTON CONNECTION. This one comes from the New York Daily Tribune and was stumbled upon by accident. CLICK ON THE IMAGE:

Our curiosity was peeked, and a reader wondered if this was one of the leads that the late Robert Scott may have mentioned for his CHRONICLES OF CROTON's VAUDEVILLE

She did some snooping about the "T. BACON DENNIS" named in the ad. Google AI to the rescue:

While "T. Bacon Dennis" is not widely recognized today as a prominent, nationally touring vaudeville headliner, local history and genealogical records strongly point to him being a regional performer or member of a theatrical family in Westchester County during the early 20th century. [1]

During the vaudeville boom circa 1907, the Hudson Valley was highly active with regional theaters, amateur "hose company" or lodge performance troupes, and traveling novelty acts that frequently played local opera houses. [1]

The plot thickens. She said she'll be back.

Stay tuned.

IN THE NEWS--LIBERAL COURT STUNS WITH RULING THAT HANDS TRUMP MAJOR IMMIGRATION WIN

 

A liberal-led federal appeals court handed President Donald Trump two immigration victories Wednesday, reversing separate district court orders that had delayed the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for migrants from South Sudan and Ethiopia.

The judgments from the First Circuit Court of Appeals come after U.S. District Judges Brian Murphy and Patti Saris issued back-to-back orders temporarily blocking the Trump administration's termination of TPS for Ethiopia and South Sudan, respectively, late last week. The rulings drew sharp criticism from legal experts and Trump administration officials, who called the judges "rogue" and argued their decisions defied the Supreme Court.  More at Liberal court stuns with ruling that hands Trump major immigration win
