FIVE ITEMS FROM THE MAILBOX

******A reader was trying to remember where she saw an article from last year about the village changing their "Club Graffiti Adult Entertainment Law since the book place was doing drag queen story times".  It is probably this one from 2023 and if not, contact The Gazette directly.  The Gazette covered this issue almost exclusively.

Here is the link to a partial of the article:

BY SPECIAL REQUEST--FROM 2022 AND EFSP---LA COLLECTIONEUSE: MARIE ANTOINETTE

BY SPECIAL REQUEST--JUNE 2022--From our friends at European Film Star Postcards: La Collectionneuse: Marie Antoinette

CLICK ON THE POSTCARD

A daughter of Austrian Empress Maria Theresa, Marie-Antoinette (1755-1793) married Louis, heir to the throne of France, in 1770. After King Louis XV’s death in 1774, Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette became King and Queen of France. Over the years, Marie-Antoinette‘s popularity among French people declined steadily. Rumoured to be a big spender of the national finances, she ended up being nicknamed “Madame déficit”. She was also accused of infidelity and immoral conduct. In 1789, the French Revolution took place and, in 1792, the monarchy was officially abolished. In January 1793, Louis was condemned to death by guillotine and was executed on the 21st. The former Queen of France suffered the same fate in October.

Marie-Antoinette has since become an icon and many actresses have portrayed her on the screen. 
Here is a selection of five of them.

STUDY FINDS NO SUCH THING AS "LONG COVID"

At last. Perhaps now the local calls advocating additional "LONG COVID" subsidies and tax abatements for "those who are suffering here in Croton" will now come to an end.

-----NY POST: No such thing as ‘long COVID,’ health agency says in shocking claim: ‘Unnecessary fear’ By David Landsel...Published March 14, 2024, 9:52 p.m. ET;

Follow the science — right out the door.  The term “long COVID” should be tossed aside like a stack of expired N95 masks — that’s according to health experts in one country, who found that symptoms of those reportedly suffering a year on weren’t any different than your typical virus, such as the flu.

-----ALEX BERENSON, Long Covid: even faker than you thought; A new Australian study confirms: Yep, it's THAT fake. The term “long Covid” should be dropped from use, because Covid has no more aftereffects than the flu or other mild respiratory illnesses, according to a major new study from Australia released yesterday.

The study showed that only 3 percent of people who had Covid had “moderate-to-severe” aftereffects a year later - numerically fewer than those infected with influenza or other mild respiratory diseases.  MORE AT Long Covid: even faker than you thought - by Alex Berenson (substack.com)

MSN/TELEGRAPH----THE EVIL TRANS IDEOLOGY IS IN RETREAT, AT LAST

BY ALLISON PEARSON---------------- Sheena’s son is about to be physically castrated. Not exactly the Mother’s Day gift she would have liked. It is absolutely devastating, but Sheena and other parents of young people who claim their brains and bodies don’t align are starting to fight back against this monstrous, self-elected maiming of their boys and girls. The mums and dads think their kids have been indoctrinated by trans activists who, quite unbelievably, have been allowed to preach their controversial views to innocent children in our schools.

In December, the Government finally published its Gender Questioning Children guidance.  MORE AT The evil trans ideology is in retreat, at last (msn.com)
