FOR THOSE FOLLOWING DEBRA VITIGLIANO---SCOTIS CONSIDERS TAKING PRO-LIFE SIDEWALK COUNSELOR'S CASE

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.

FOR THOSE FOLLOWING DEBRA VITIGLIANO--SCOTIS CONSIDERS TAKING PRO-LIFE SIDEWALK COUNSELOR'S CASE----Despite repeated, and disturbingly vindictive, attempts by the government to muzzle Christians in America, this Supreme Court has consistently vindicated the First Amendment. Now it has the chance to do so yet again.

Debra Vitagliano, a Catholic woman from Westchester County, New York, has been barred from counseling pregnant women outside abortion facilities. That level of speech repression sounds more typical of authoritarian societies, but fortunately, during their conference this Friday, the court is set to vote on taking up her case. As a bonus, the court has a chance to continue undoing the decades-old legal cover provided for the abortion industry by public officials.

GRAYSON QUAY----THE LEGACY OF BLM IS CLEAR--A FEW BANKED MILLIONS WHILE LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE IS WORSE OFF

On Tuesday night, DC residents gathered to lament the state of their city.

“We are mad. We are scared in this community. There was a murder in our building just 10 days ago. A woman was shot in the face across the street on Saturday,” one resident told D.C. police Chief Pamela Smith at Tuesday’s town hall.

Smith did her best to respond to these frustrations, but real culprits — champagne race-baiters like Ibram X. Kendi and Patrisse Cullors — were nowhere to be found.  Read more at QUAY: The Legacy Of BLM Is Clear — A Few Banked Millions While Literally Everyone Else Is Worse Off | The Daily Caller
