ST. GEORGE, Utah — Tyler Robinson’s dad was back running his thriving local business this week — days after he showed up in court to support his son as troves of damning evidence about Charlie Kirk’s murder were publicly revealed for the first time.

Matthew Robinson has been at his son’s side since the beginning — even turning him over to cops after he allegedly confessed to killing the Turning Point USA founder last September.

But when it comes to his legal defense, Tyler Robinson, 23, is on his own — and Utah taxpayers are footing the bill, which could exceed $10 million. More at Exclusive | Secrets behind Tyler Robinson's lucrative family business revealed

A WORD FROM SUPERVISOR BECKER AND SUPERINTENDENT TROMBLEE ON CRITICAL LEGISLATION AFFECTING THE HEN HUD DISTRICT

A critical piece of legislation affecting both the Hendrick Hudson School District and the Town of Cortlandt, as well as the village of Buchanan, is awaiting Governor Hochul's signature.

If signed into law, it would extend the Indian Point Cessation Mitigation Fund for five additional years, continuing critical financial support for the Hendrick Hudson School District, the Town of Cortlandt and the Village of Buchanan, with Hendrick Hudson receiving more than $20 million over the life of the extension.

In this joint message, Superintendent Michael Tromblee and Town Supervisor Dr. Richard Becker explain why this legislation matters and how residents can help by participating in the Hendrick Hudson PTA Advocacy Committee's community letter-writing campaign.
Please take a few minutes to watch the video, then visit HenHudAdvocacy.com to learn more and send a letter encouraging the Governor to sign the bill.

Thank you for continuing to support our students, our schools, and our community.

You can find the joint message video and the associated details on the Town of Cortlandt Government Facebook Page and the Hendrick Hudson School District Facebook Page.

"BUT I DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL THIS DAY, THAT IT WAS THE VILLAGE ALL ALONG"

Gee, you go to one local presidential speech watch party--in itself quite the revelation (MSM says nothing to see here folks)---to come back to dozens of memes parodying the village's inadvertent publication of the "draft"??? apartment proposal for 425 South Riverside. And while AI was initially blamed---nope---the site has removed the content at the village's request.

All that being said, the cat's out of the bag now--it's everywhere--and while there may yet be some changes, most folks have learned to expect...the same thing re-packaged..,or worse....yada yada yada yada.....stay tuned.

THAT LUNATIC ILLEGAL CANADIAN IMMIGRANT, NOW IN CUSTODY, DELANEY HALL

Trending on social media just about everywhere--with apologies from our Canadian friends and family:  Loonie goons Wild video shows moment Canadian illegal immigrant slaps teen on NJ boardwalk after fight over patriotic clothes

Wild video appears to show the moment crazy Canadian illegal immigrant Kaitlyn Tracey battered a teenager at the Jersey Shore over Fourth of July weekend for sporting pro-Trump gear, landing her in ICE custody.

STATUS OF.....: Tracey didn’t go back home “in violation of our nation’s laws” and overstayed her visa by failing “to depart,” the DHS spokesperson said. She was arrested on Monday and slapped with endangering the welfare of a child, simple assault, harassment and obstruction charges, according to court records viewed by The Post. The Canuck will remain at Delaney Hall pending her immigration proceedings — the very immigration detention center that her lefty husband has railed about on social media.
