CROTON....CALDER....
Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
As some of you know, Alexander Calder was one of the village's most famous residents.
VIA THE Croton Historical Society--According to the Calder Foundation website, the Calder family moved to Croton in the winter of 1909 and Alexander Calder attended public school here. They probably rented the home from the Stevensons. Here’s a photo of Calder and his sister, Margaret “Peggy” Calder in 1910 in the doorway of the Croton house. At the time the house was one story. The Stevensons added the second story in 1917. (YOU CAN SEE THE PHOTO AT https://calder.org/historical.../calder-and-his-sister-1910/)

EMILY KOPP -THE FAUCI FILES: FIVE EXPLOSIVE FINDINGS DECLASSIFIED BY TULSI GABBARD
An extensive and very detailed article from Alpha News and the great Emily Kopp---this is journalism par excellence....and many of us are hopeful that accountability will occur.
(Daily Caller News Foundation) — Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday evening declassified hundreds of pages related to the coverup of the theory that the COVID-19 virus leaked from an American funded lab in Wuhan, China, and the involvement of the nation’s most powerful public health official, Anthony Fauci, in that coverup.
Gabbard said in a statement that Fauci and his allies in the scientific community and intelligence community ripped a page right out of “the deep state playbook.”
The Daily Caller News Foundation first reported on Fauci’s influence on the intelligence community last year. MORE AT The Fauci files: Five explosive findings declassified by Tulsi Gabbard | Alpha News MN
