MAILBOX ITEMS AND SOME A FEW REQUESTORS MISSED...

 

*******GETTING INQUIRIES about an alleged local measles outbreak; THIS APPEARS TO BE FABRICATED----additional checking of reliable sources---and newspapers like LOHUD, THE EXAMINER NEWS, THE GAZETTE, PATCH, ETC.---has also come up with ZERO--ZILCH---NADA----in short, there's nothing to verify the info reportedly posted on social media. And so, we're not going there---but before you panic, please do your actual due diligence. AND WITH THAT IN MIND---FROM GOOGLE AI AND LOHUD:

No official measles outbreak has been declared specifically for Westchester County in 2026, though New York health officials have issued warnings due to a rising number of cases across the state. [1, 2]

NY POST EDITORIAL--LETITIA JAMES' ABUSES OF POWER LAID BARE AS TOP PROSECUTOR BLOW THE WHISTLE

New York Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld may be Whistleblower of the Year: He just called out Attorney General Tish James’ horrific abuses of power in burning “significant public taxpayer dollars to target convenient public enemies,” not least President Donald Trump, with no cause.

The office should focus on prosecuting “rampant nonprofit homeless shelter fraud and antisemitic crimes in and around synagogues,” he thundered in a weekend email blasted to 2,000 staff in the state AG’s office.

His first-hand knowledge doesn’t directly implicate James: He alleges only that his direct superior, Investor Protection Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe, told him to target “Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger)” without bothering to first find “a credible reason for targeting the organizations and individuals.” But he (understandably) believes Maswoswe was following orders from James, who after all ran for the office vowing to target Trump.
