DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY TRENDING ON LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA, LEAF BLOWERS, PRES. TRUMP'S ROCKLAND VISIT

AS ALWAYS, please do your due diligence. Social media is notorious for...... errors..... exagerration.... ANONYMOUS ACCOUNTS AND BOTS.....

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY continues to trend---June 23, 2026 is shown for the primary: The Democratic primary in New York, including Westchester’s NY‑17 race to choose a challenger to Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, is officially scheduled for June 23, 2026.

Early voting: June 13–21, 2026 in Westchester County.

Considerable discussion as to why the Westchester County Democratic Executive Committee declined to endorse a candidate, and some of the arguments seem bot-driven and anonymous. Again do your own due diligence.

LEAF BLOWERS: "WHEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, GOLF COURSE AND VILLAGE ARE SUBJECT TO THE "SEASONAL BAN", MAYBE PEOPLE WILL PAY ATTENTION. Until then, we take our chances on our block and neighbors mind their own business"....yada yada yada

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S VERY SUCCESSFUL ROCKLAND VISIT CONTINUES TO TREND, MUCH POSITIVE COMMENTARY, THE USUAL COMPLIMENT OF COMPLAINTS, WHICH LARGELY SEEM BOT-DRIVEN AND ANONYMOUS; for the actual events and traditional coverage, go to   EverythingCroton: MORE FROM SHERIDAN GORMAN'S PARENTS AND PRES.

LARCHMONT BUILDING DEPT. SHAKE UP WITH A MENTION OF CROTON

More than two years after the last official Building Inspector moved on, the Village of Larchmont continues to operate without one. Here’s how it happened:

When Dan Gray left the position in 2023, the village decided to fold the job into the Village Engineer’s position, essentially combining the two. Then a consultant recently recommended eliminating the full-time Village Engineer’s position as an efficiency measure, which the Board of Trustees has done. Perhaps seeing the writing on the wall, Village Engineer Vincent “Vinny” Salanitro, resigned in late 2025 to become the Village Engineer for Croton-on-Hudson......SEE MORE AT Larchmont Building Department Shake Up - Larchmont Loop

IN THE NEWS--RESISTANCE GROWS AGAINST NY'S 18 PLANNED SOLAR FARMS.....


New York is strong-arming 18 industrial-scale solar power plants into rural communities across the state despite strong opposition from locals. Schuylerville farmer Alexandra Fasulo had just settled into the idyllic acreage she purchased in 2023 when Gov. Kathy Hochul’s bulldozers came roaring in, poised to thrash 1,800 acres of protected grassland to build a 100-megawatt-capacity solar energy complex in nearby Fort Edward, NY.

AT LAST AND JUST IN TIME FOR FATHER'S DAY 2028---ALEX BERENSON'S "THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO

MAY 24, 2026 ALEX BERENSON

In December, I told you I was writing what I called a “manifesto on fatherhood” - an argument against the way our culture has devalued fathers and stoicism in parenting, combined with specific tips about ways to be a better dad.

Now the piece, called (wait for it) “The Fatherhood Manifesto,” is done. It’s over 11,000 words - 50 booklet-sized pages. I’m releasing it June 7, two weeks before Father’s Day. I’ll have more to say about it, including an excerpt, and why I wrote it, soon.

For now, let me say this: Over decades as an author and journalist, I have learned that when I (or anyone) puts out something like this - a fresh, provocative, unexpected piece of writing - there’s no way to predict how it will do. Readers may embrace the idea, or ignore it. No one can know until it’s set free in the world.

ANOTHER BUSY WEEKEND FOR THE CROTON LIONS CLUB

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

(Click on the photos.)

The Croton Lions were busy again last weekend at CVS and Bagels on the Hudson selling 50/50 Raffle tickets. Last year the winner received $1400 and the club the other $1400. Those funds went back to the Croton community through the local disaster relief effort (fire victims), scholarships, LionsSEE vision program, Croton boosters, police and EMS, free medical equipment loans and almost 30 more charities.

This year, the Lions were able to increase the amount of their three scholarships to deserving graduating CHHS seniors from $3,000 to $5,000 thanks to the generosity of our village.

There is still time to purchase raffle tickets. They are on sale at the Croton Diner anytime and at Summerfest, June 7th all day until the drawing at 5pm.

Lions Pete Tsagarakis and Pete Rogers at CVS, Bob Anderson with Membership Chair Leslie Anderson at Bagels and Lion Sharon Kullberg selling raffle tickets.

“We Serve” and we thank you all for your donations to the services we provide. To learn more about the croton Lions, visit our website:

ANOTHER DETRANSITIONER WINS A HUGE SETTLEMENT

Cases like this are likely to reshape gender medicine for years to come, as doctors, therapists, and hospitals face growing legal and financial pressure over how quickly irreversible procedures were approved for vulnerable patients. The era of rubber-stamping gender interventions after cursory evaluations appears to be coming to an end, with malpractice lawsuits succeeding where internal oversight and medical institutions failed.

ANOTHER----GUNMAN WHO BELIEVED HE WAS JESUS CHRIST OPENED FIRE ON WHITE HOUSE CHECKPOINT, NEUTRALIZED BY SECRET SERVICE

A crazed gunman who believed he was Jesus Christ pulled out a revolver and opened fire outside the White House Saturday night, before he was quickly taken down by a barrage of shots from the Secret Service, sources said. Nasire Best, 21, fired at a checkpoint at about 6:10 p.m. after being seen pacing in a strange manner up and down 17th St. Northwest, sources told The Post. He only got off a few shots before he was shot and killed in a hail of bullets from federal officers. At least one bystander was hit and seriously wounded in the fusillade, the sources said.
