ERIKA KIRK CALLS ROBINSON RULING "AN IMPORTANT STEP" FOR JUSTICE FOR SLAIN HUSBAND
Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, called the ruling that forces her husband’s accused assassin to stand trial — and possibly face the death penalty — an “important step” in her family’s agonizing quest for justice.
Erika had wiped away tears Tuesday as Judge Tony Graf ruled that Tyler Robinson, 23, will face trial for all seven counts leveled against him – including first-degree murder – nine days before the first anniversary of Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University.
“Today’s decision, which comes nearly a year since Charlie was taken from us, marks an important step in our family’s pursuit of justice for him,” Erika Kirk wrote on X after the ruling, sharing a statement on behalf of her family.

IT'S TOMATO SEASON! Yes, they're coming hot and heavy---although the rain has wreaked some fungal havoc.
There are few things in life as wonderful as a fresh-picked tomato---a little salt, a little pepper, some mayo. piled high on your old-fashioned Wonder White bread, toasted of course....
Never got to plant any Purple Cherokee Chief Heirlooms this year but Better Boy, Early Girl and some surprise plums and cherry tomato pop-ups are outperforming the weather.

Fall chores in earnest this week-- VIA COPILOT:
As September deepens in the Hudson Valley, the weather is still warm but shifting toward cooler, drier conditions — the perfect time to prepare your garden for the coming months.
1. Plant Cool-Season Crops
This is the prime time to sow vegetables and herbs that thrive in cooler weather, such as kale, spinach, Swiss chard, lettuce, peas, radishes, carrots, beets, and onions. Planting now ensures they’ll be ready for harvest before the first hard frost.
2. Start Perennials and Spring Bulbs
If you’re planting perennials like hostas, daylilies, or coneflowers, now is the time to do so. For spring bulbs (tulips, daffodils, crocuses), plant them in late September to early October for best results.

YADA YADA YADA THIS RAINY HUMP DAY---TONIGHT'S BOARD MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARING, BIRD FLU, MEASLES, MIGRANTs, THE CLANCY TRIAL
...And now in no particular order:
*******Instant deletion of anything TDS, SDS, BDS, EDS---related; suggest you do the same.
*******Lots of chatter about tonight's public hearing---how it not only impacts kept pigeons, but potentially other small animals---lizards, rats, chinchillas, ferrets, parrots, chickens, etc.
Overriding all this is some inaccurate info about bird flu---demands that the village outlaw chickens as well---highly recommend that if you have concerns about bird flu, you consult the CORNELL LABS site; they are the PREMIER BIRD INFO people!
There are also claims that some dead birds found after one of our past winter storms were the result of bird flu---THIS IS INACCURATE; SEE EverythingCroton: INFORMATIONAL UPDATE ON AVIAN INFLUENZA
*******Many thanks to Red Papayrus for posting this article link---there's been a lot of meme-and-bot-driven chatter about the surge in migrant arrests--recommend this instead from RED PAPYRUS: White House brings receipts after media claims noncriminal ICE arrests 'soaring': 'False narratives'
*******Lots of general disgust, oddly more from men than women it seems (at least on social media), about Clancy, the jury, the pink-clad "supporters" at her trial, and the murder of her three children. You'll have to wallow through it all yourself---and it's a tough and depressing slog---but we all thought this was a good video--and thank JL for posting: At this point, how is this even a debate? | Watch
*******All over assorted Pennsylvania pages, it is largely posted that Shapiro jumped the gun essentially regarding the two alleged measles deaths; here's what we know currently via the CDC; you should however, do your own due diligence: EverythingCroton: ABOUT THOSE "TWO PENNSYLVANIA MEASLES DEATHS...."

Robertson had sparked severe backlash three years prior for publicly posting a sign in his yard calling the situation a "mass grave hoax". The province decided not to pursue the matter further, leaving local Indigenous leaders and the mayor disappointed. [1]
