daho Christians Are Compensated $300,000 for Rights Violations--BY BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE JULY 25, 2023

Just how untethered to the rule of law did the United States come during the Covid response?

Before March 2020, most Americans would think that monitoring church attendance, banning Easter services, and arresting hymn singers were practices reserved for Eastern-style totalitarianism. The Soviet Union persecuted Christians and the Chinese have Muslim concentration camps, but Americans’ freedom of worship is enshrined in the Bill of Rights.

The free exercise of religion precedes all other liberties in the First Amendment. It was born of a core conviction that the New World could do it better than the Old World of religious wars and persecution.

New Grand Juries Won’t Be Convened in Henry, Chamberlain Shootings

FROM CROTON'S MICHAEL BALTER---MORE BAD JOURNALISM FROM THE NY TIMES. IT'S COVID ORIGINS, AGAIN (AN EXEGESIS)

On July 25, the New York Times Magazine published a lengthy and long-awaited article by science writer David Quammen, entitled “The Ongoing Mystery of Covid’s Origin.” I say “long-awaited” because Quammen has dropped many broad hints over the past months that it was coming. I don’t envy Quammen the task: During the time he was preparing it, a lot of things happened in the fierce Covid origins debate, ranging from raccoon dog studies to intel reports to media leaks to Congressional hearings.  MORE AT More bad journalism from the New York Times.

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

IT'S BAGPIPE  APPRECIATION DAY. 

READ MORE ABOUT IT AT Bagpipe Appreciation Day | Holiday | Checkiday.com

CLICK ON THE PHOTOS FOR THE 2009 SUMMERFEST Parade segment featuring LOCAL 21 N.Y. PIPES & DRUMS! 

For those who don't know: Originally pastoral and festive, the military began using the bagpipe in the eighteenth century and accompanied it with drums. Battlefields were loud, so instruments were used to communicate.

Bagpipers from clans—who were often at war with each other—would inspire soldiers before battle, and played during battles to signal movements, attacks, and retreats.

When the Scottish uprising of 1745 failed, military training was banned. Thus, the bagpipe could no longer be used in this context anymore, although it was not banned for other uses. AGAIN, READ MORE HERE.
