NY POST---A DISABLED VIETNAM VET IS FIGHTING A NEW WAR AGAINST HIS SMALL TOWN GOVERNMENT

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

A disabled Vietnam vet is fighting a new war against his small town government.

Leonard Amicola, who has lived in the Westchester County village of Croton-on-Hudson for 67 years, said he’ll battle local officials to keep his “Trump is my President” banner flying, claiming he has a Constitutional right to express support for the commander-in-chief, he told News12 Westchester.

Amicola, who said he’s had a Trump flag or banner up since 2021, said he’s already had to deal with a backlash from local residents, who have hurled rocks and even stolen his flags and banners. MORE AT Vietnam vet fights NY village to keep 'Trump is my president' banner flying at his home

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.


The mayor of the Croton-on-Hudson town in New York has ordered that a disabled Vietnam veteran who has lived in the Village of Croton-on-Hudson community for 67 years has to take down his Trump flag because it does not comply with the community's "content-neutral code." The flag is on the man's property, and he has argued that the action goes against his First Amendment rights.

JESSICA DIECKMAN, MORE ALARMING MAMDANI INFO

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

THE FOLLOWING LETTER APPEARS IN THE MOST RECENT GAZETTE:

To the Editor, As November in NYC approaches, more alarming facts suggesting Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani is unfit for the job of NYC mayor continue to surface.

NYPD Detectives’ Endowment Association president Scott Munro has suggested that the number of police retirements is likely to skyrocket should Mamdani win the upcoming election. NYC Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry corroborates these sentiments, pointing out that NYPD staffing has been on the decline, and an unsupportive mayor would make things much worse. He has explained that, “We can’t afford to have a mayor who ignores the problem or tries to take us backward.” The true attitude behind statements from Mamdani to ‘defund’ and ‘dismantle’ the ‘wicked and corrupt’ NYPD are hurriedly spun as references to cutting excess overtime or dealing with natural employment attrition. With meaningless, campaign-friendly boastings that a Mamdani mayorship would offer the city, ‘prevention-first, community-based solutions,’ it is highly unlikely that Mamdani will get a Police Union endorsement. This is bad news: if an overcrowded island of 8.5 million people does not take care of its police officers, it will not take care of crime.

Mamdani has plans to throw a wrench in the works for the funding and growth of the successful charter schools that serve a high number of minority students. These charter schools perform far better than the public schools located in the same regions of the city. Ever the entrancing wordsmith, Mamdani hides his intentions to attack and dismantle existing charter school space-usage behind vague suggestions that he will ‘address the unevenness of our system.’

Targeting these successful schools and their funding will only promote failure and hardship for students currently doing well, and will be disastrous for an upcoming generation of young learners: Mamdani also plans on preventing new charter schools from opening anywhere in the city, no matter how poorly the public schools are performing. If Mamdani truly cared about black and Hispanic students, he wouldn’t be making such horrible plans. The schools that best support NYC students’ success are the ones students should have the option of attending.

In the big picture, his policies have the ability to take the city to rock bottom. What happens to the city will effect surroundings areas. Once both the individuals and the businesses with money depart to other metropolises in the US, socialist Mamdani won’t have other peoples’ finances to tap to fuel his programs, and it’s highly unlikely that the federal government will bail him out of the mess he will create.

NYC voters beware and be aware.

Thank you,
Jessica Dieckman

NEWS ABOUT THE GREAT BARI WEISS, THE FREE PRESS, CBS.... AND.............

Staffers at CBS News are beside themselves right now. The coverage of this move is also hilarious, since who in their right mind, outside of the network itself, thinks that CBS is doing well? They’re not. All legacy media is dying because their circle of lies has finally caught up with them. Russian collusion was the first blow, though no one noticed. COVID was the second, and covering up for Joe Biden’s mental decline was the third. There are other examples you could plug in there as well, but the fact is, former New York Times opinion writer Bari Weiss, who went independent and created ‘Free Press,’ could be the top dog at CBS News if this merger goes through.

Guest Editorial: Why I am running for mayor of Croton-on-Hudson.

"Croton deserves better. Village hall should be a place where residents feel heard, respected, and engaged."

Sep 05, 2025

by GARY EISINGER, VOICE OF CROTON

The growing awareness that dissenting voices have been erased from village decision-making brought me to declare myself a candidate for mayor of Croton-on-Hudson.

For too long, critical choices about our village’s growth, zoning, and finances have been made behind closed doors or with only a token opportunity for residents to weigh in. The recent granting of unilateral authority to override zoning protections — without meaningful neighbor or community input — is just one example of a process that prioritizes developers and insiders over the voices of our residents.

IN THE NEWS - BLOCKBUSTER SEA LEVEL STUDY MAY TURN CLIMATE CHANGE ORTHODOXY ON ITS HEAD

Global sea levels have not continued to rise at the rates predicted by many scientists — and there is no evidence that climate change has contributed to any such acceleration, a new first-of-its-kind study has claimed.  The research found that the average sea level rise in 2020 was only around 1.5mm per year, or 6 inches per century, according to the paper’s authors, Dutch engineering consultant Hessel Voortman and independent researcher Rob de Vos.

“This is significantly lower than the 3 to 4 mm/year often reported by climate scientists in scientific literature and the media,” Voortman told independent journalist Michael Shellenberger.  

Voortman was shocked that no researcher before had performed an analysis of real-world local data. MORE AT Sea level rise not caused by climate change, study claims

A federal appeals court has temporarily blocked a judge’s order requiring Florida and the federal government to shut down and dismantle a controversial immigration detention facility built in the Everglades, widely referred to as “Alligator Alcatraz.”

On Thursday, the Eleventh US Circuit Court of Appeals granted requests from the State of Florida and the US Department of Homeland Security to stay a district court’s preliminary injunction that would have forced the site to wind down operations within 60 days. A preliminary injunction is a temporary order put in place until a court can make a final decision in a case. More at Appeals court temporarily blocks judge’s order to dismantle ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
