Former Westchester County Board of Legislators aide accused of trying to entice minor released from jail while awaiting trial---May 04, 2023, 6:40amUpdated 2h ago
By: News 12 Staff

A former Westchester County Board of Legislators aide accused of attempting to entice a minor has been released from jail while awaiting trial.  Anand Singh, 33, was arrested by the FBI on Monday following accusations that he shared explicit messages with someone he believed was a 14-year-old girl in December 2022.  The minor he thought he was communicating with was actually a decoy created by OBL Global, a vigilante group that exposes child predators. The group set up a sting operation and captured Singh on video allegedly attempting to meet the minor for sex in New Jersey.  He was fired from his job by Catherine Borgia, the chair of the Westchester County Board of Legislators, after the footage surfaced on YouTube.

ABOUT THOSE MASKS.....

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy Refuses To Acknowledge the Government's Misrepresentation of Mask Research--Recent comments by former COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci contradict what public health officials told us during the pandemic.

JACOB SULLUM | 5.3.2023 3:40 PM
In a recent interview with The New York Times, former White House COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci conceded that face masks had, at best, a modest overall impact on coronavirus transmission during the pandemic. "From a broad public-health standpoint, at the population level, masks work at the margins—maybe 10 percent," he said. "But for an individual who religiously wears a mask, a well-fitted KN95 or N95, it's not at the margin. It really does work."

This week CNN's Erin Burnett asked Surgeon General Vivek Murthy about Fauci's gloss, which she said might be perceived as "an extremely significant statement," because "we were told it didn't matter what kind of mask [we wore]." She also noted that children were required to wear masks in schools and day care centers, adding that "none of them wore them the right way." The contrast between that frequently mandatory advice and what Fauci is saying now, Burnett suggested, is "upsetting to a lot of people."

Murthy's response illustrates the persistent difficulty that public health officials have in speaking honestly about this subject. He conceded that shifting government health advice "can be disconcerting" but said "sometimes guidance does evolve over time as you learn more." He also allowed that the pandemic "has been incredibly hard for a lot of people, especially kids and parents." And he mentioned "greater loneliness and isolation" as one consequence of the pandemic, saying the Biden administration is working on "a national strategy to address loneliness."

The one thing Murthy did not address was the substance of Burnett's question.  Read more at Surgeon General Murthy Won't Acknowledge Government's Mask Research Misrepresentation (reason.com)

YES INDEED....CROTON'S STAR WARS FANS HAVE REMINDED US THAT....

It's May 4th---considered a holiday by Star Wars fans to celebrate the franchise's films series, books and culture. The date was chosen as "May the 4th" due to its sounding similar to the series' phrase "May the Force be with you" in which fans commonly say "May the fourth be with you".
