SOCIAL MEDIA--THAT NOISE & MORE

We're not on social media, but we often get to hear about it and are sometimes sent screenshots:

***At tonight's board meeting, it was revealed that the source of the noise that has played villagers for weeks was actually a competition of sorts in Haverstraw. Croton police/social media thoroughly investigated. When more is available/verified, will post here.

***Lots of chatter about the Karmelo Anthony verdict, what happens next, and where all the money raised for his defense actually went. SENTENCED TO 35 YEARS Baby-faced killer Karmelo Anthony seen in first mugshot since murder conviction, 35-year sentence

***Was actually able to verify the MT KISCO situation being talked about all day--see Familiar Suspect Arrested Twice In 24 Hours In 2 Different Burglary Cases | Chappaqua, NY Patch

***AND BERENSON IS HAVING A CHAT APPARENTLY It's time for those of us who turned down the Covid shots to have a chat

FROM THE MAILBOX

A reader asks: Is it true that Margaret Sanger (of Planned Parenhood fame) often lectured on eugenics and related matters here in the village?

Response: Currently trying to locate her village lectures. Sanger was reportedly a frequent Harmon visitor in the 30's; here is an article, which also mentions the Baroness Ishimoto. EverythingCroton: DECEMBER 1932 IN CROTON, MARGARET SANGER, BARONESS SHIDZUE ISHIMOTO & MORE

YADA YADA YADA TUESDAY POST-SUMMERFEST

Many of us re not on social media, but we often get to hear about it and are sometimes sent screenshots:

***CHATTER that Summerfest seemed less attended this year and there were some disgruntled vendors. Will wait for some official numbers if they happen.....

***LOTS OF OVER-THE-TOP CHATTER ABOUT THE COMING "BLACK DEATH"/HANTAVIRUS---NOW THE FEAR IS EBOLA---AND THE WEEK BEFORE THAT, IT WAS MEASLES AND BIRD FLU----just not going to submerge ourselves in the muck; instead, this one article link got the most attention on the page---it's REMAINS the most reasonable of all the links posted but then we're fans of the BROWNSTONE site too:  Hantavirus: Stop the Spread Is Back

And of course Fauci hatred remains consistent. 

***STILL A LOT OF CHATTER LOCALLY: Bots, blocking, leaf-blowing, and banning....THE COMING POT SHOP, 100 UNIT "AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPLEX---AND "Will care about the leaf blower ban when the village does what it tells everyone else to do"....

AND  "What's the zoning on such and such a street.......floating zones......Yada yada yada..... Again, not much new to add here. All these deals are cooked and ready to serve. It's only a matter of when and how much it will all change. We've been through this drill before. It may be easier to complain on social media, but it's often unlikely to create any of the desired changes.....

***Some folks pretty excited about THE FATHERHOOD MANFESTO. EverythingCroton: BERENSON--THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO IS HERE AND "hope springing eternal" now that Laird and Day were elected.

IN THE NEWS - HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT FISHKILL PD'S NEW BODY CAMERAS

Body Camera Use in New York State

As of 2021, under state law, New York State Police are required to provide body cameras to troopers on patrol. Since then, more and more municipalities have implemented some sort of body camera rollout, with the devices becoming more of a norm rather than the exception.

HOMAN MADE HOCHUL A PROMISE---REVEALS PLANS ARE IN PLACE TO FLOOD NYC WITH MORE ICE AGENTS "THAN YOU'VE EVER SEEN"

President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan said Monday that plans have been laid out to flood the Big Apple with more ICE agents “than you’ve ever seen” after he repeatedly warned Gov. Kathy Hochul of an impending surge. The top Trump administration official doubled down on his threats to flood New York City with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after Hochul and Albany Democrats passed sweeping sanctuary state laws last month curbing local cooperation with federal authorities.

“I made her a promise, you’re going to see more ICE agents than you’ve ever seen in New York City, and it’s coming,” Homan said during an interview with “Fox and Friends.” MORE AT Tom Homan reveals plans are in place to flood NYC with more ICE agents 'than you've ever seen'
