LIKE MONTY PYTHON IS BACK: LINGUISTS BLAST CAMBRIDGE'S BID TO TEACH GERMAN USING GENDER-INCLUSIVE WORDS

"If a non-native speaker came and tried to use gender-neutral German while on holiday here I think they would stand a good chance of making a fool of themselves," he said.

"Fortunately we have no German word for 'woke', so we borrow it from the English."  READ MORE AT  https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/cambridge-university-german-gender/

DON'T DESTROY CROTON! STOP THE HUDSON NATIONAL GOLF CLUB INDUSTRIAL SOLAR FARM ON CROTON'S STEEP SLOPES

Welcome to The New 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.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLOWNG PETITION FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION---CLICK ON THE IMAGE........

SAY "NO" to SOLAR ON SLOPES...DON'T DESTROY CROTON!

Hudson National Golf Club and Matrix Development, LLC filed an Application for a Special Permit to install an Industrial Solar Farm on scenic steep slopes overlooking the Hudson River over 2 years ago. On its face, there is much about this Solar Farm project that would have justified denial shortly after the Application was filed. It is primarily for the financial and energy benefit of HNGC and Matrix, yet detrimental in so many ways to this Village, its residents and natural resources. It is not "Green" and violates our Village's essential environmental laws. It is also not consistent with our Comprehensive Plan, and is an attempt to extinguish the previously agreed-to No Disturbance restrictive covenant relating to the proposed Solar Farm site. That valid and existing covenant was a condition of HNGC being granted its original permit by Croton-on-Hudson over 22 years ago!

It completely flies in the face of what we have come to expect about what it really means to be environmentally conscious these days. Because in order for this Application to be approved, our Village Officials would, in effect, be proactively giving HNGC and Matrix permission to violate numerous important protections in each of those laws ... permission to destroy our environment and natural resources. In fact, it would be giving them the right to violate the underlying intent and bases for why those laws were enacted in the first place.

This has not made sense to very many of us, because it just doesn't make any sense! This community knows that if this Application is approved, so much will be destroyed and lost that will not be able to be replaced... our trees, slopes, views, wildlife and their habitats... our peace of mind, and sense of safety. And, there is very little to be gained, because this Application really isn't about saving the earth, it's about saving and making money for HNGC and Matrix ... and as a result Croton will suffer.

Purpose of this Petition: For our community to stand in our integrity as to what being pro-environment really means.

To let our Mayor, Village Board, Village Attorney, HNGC, Matrix, their Engineer and experts know that what has been going on in our Village for the last 2 years in connection with this HNGC/Matrix project is not acceptable, and has nothing at all to do with saving the environment, global warming or climate change and must satisfactorily be addressed in accordance with our laws.

NY TIMES REPORT THAT BIDEN IS EXAGGERATING HIS ECONOMIC WINS STUNS TWITTER "SGNALING THAT BIDEN'S FINISHED"

NY Times report that Biden is exaggerating his economic wins stuns Twitter: ‘Signaling that Biden’s finished'

Opinion by Gabriel Hays - Yesterday 4:23 PM

Critics of President Biden got a surprise on Friday, as the New York Times published a report grilling the 46th president for making exaggerations about his successes on the economy.

Times reporters Alan Rappeport and Jim Tankersley published a piece on Friday titled, "As Elections Approach, Biden Spins His Economic Record," which claimed that the president's boasts about his economic achievements were not true.

The report began by summing up the White House economic spin, "As President Biden and his administration have told it in recent months, America has the fastest-growing economy in the world, his student debt forgiveness program passed Congress by a vote or two, and Social Security benefits became more generous thanks to his leadership."

The piece declared, "None of that was accurate."  MORE AT NY Times report that Biden is exaggerating his economic wins stuns Twitter: ‘Signaling that Biden’s finished' (msn.com)

THE LAB LEAK DECEPTION, HEALTH REPORTER EMILY KOPP, ZACH WEISSMUELLER AND REGAN TAYLOR

Public officials concealed their conflicts of interest and role in funding research that may have caused the pandemic, says health reporter Emily Kopp.

Journalists and scientists routinely dismissed the lab leak hypothesis as a crackpot theory and even as "racist," up until the summer of 2021 when science journalist Nicholas Wade published an influential article, and a viral rant by Jon Stewart pushed it into the mainstream. Until that point, social media platforms had been removing or throttling posts that took it seriously. Anthony Fauci, who didn't respond to our interview request, said it wasn't worth even considering the possibility that COVID could have originated in a lab.

More recently, emails made public through the Freedom of Information Act have revealed that Fauci, National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Francis Collins, and other prominent public officials took the possibility of a lab origin far more seriously than they were letting on.
