Ken - this one is fabulous, far your best. Heather Cox Richardson, take notice. America take notice. Follow Ken. Ken is watching GOP liar Elise Stefanik in the White House, Elise from the 21st of NY, the wooden lady from a Willsboro Point summer camp of her daddy in plywood that lies and kisses up to President Donald Trump, our orange faced liar in chief with the red tie and yellow dyed hair. The local press fears Rep. Elise Stefanik. Crack reporter Ken Tingley of the Post Star fears no one. He hints at a voting strategy. Favors democracy. Ken is taking up the example of History Professor Heather Cox Richardson of Boston College. Bravo, Ken, the North Country’s best and only reporter.
Ken, LFF is for sale. That’s a stunning story. Go tell it on the mountain. Use the phone. Our locals are hoping we find the best buyer. Praying. Worrying. 518.963.4206 farmhouse. We answer when here. 973.379.4446 iPhone, ZOOM to talk, Whatsap works, too. Substack is worldwide. Buyers are international. Thinking memoir. At 85.. now or never. Midwife needed, Will Doolittle. You are the best. The watermelon needs a midwife.

Upton Sinclair: “It is difficult to get a man [or woman] to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!”
I cannot find it anymore, but Stefanik's Congressional calender for Jan 4 indicated that she was in the WH for Devin Nunes's Medal of Freedom ceremony. It did not indicate any meeting with Trump in the Oval office.
Nobody is strong enough to say the king (and princess) have no clothes. I will say Warren county BOE, Bd of Elec., is a great bi-partisan team and are fiercely protective of voter rights and election integrity.
The one thing that I can't fathom, and so many brush aside, is that right now, kids are waking up with their Mom or Dad in jail, in prison, for the simple reason that they believed the lie that the election was rigged. Men are waking up in jail cells because they believed him, and he's sleeping in his own bed in complete luxury. And Elise called them hostages, and Trump says he'll pardon them, and not from compassion for them but for political gain for himself. When we see what is going on in the southeast hurricane recovery, the selfless dedication of thousands and then we hear the folks denigrating the effort to recover and bring life and services back to normal. They do so for political gain, I am beyond my ability to understand how far some of us have fallen from the sense of decency and honor our lives require, a basic central trust is destroyed. Unfortunately there are forces in the world working very had to destroy that trust.
The number one force trying to destroy our country and democracy is Donald Trump and his despicable cohorts. Elise should be ashamed but likely that is impossible because she has no moral compass or commitment to democracy. Let us not forget that she voted against two veterans bills that had by partisan support in 2022. Get lost Elise, New York State needs to unseat her and vote for Paula Collins.
There is no bottom level that the cult will reach in order to undermine the voting process, our democracy, the court system or current administration. As in 2016/20 leading up to the elections, the level of fervor will reach an even higher pitch in order to generate angst and anger within the cult before and especially after the felon's election loss.
WOW, I'll bet Elise doesn't even KNOW that the boundaries of her district are. You can bet she wasn't sharing "recipes" with "The Donald" when she was at the White House...I wonder if further research into January 6 might show more involvement on her part...Thanks for today's enlightenment...
She seems to visit only places that are somewhat close to the Albany airport. Doesn't appear to like that trip over the mountain into the REAL North Country.
Peters is just one of dozens who are in prison and locked up away from their families because of claims of election fraud and other lies about the 2020 election, and there will be more. And bear in mind that she was not the instigator of the lies. She didn't go and make up election fraud on her own.
Nor was it just Donald Trump and his campaign. There was also Elise Stefanik telling her constituents that she was going to Washington on January 6th to bring them the "truth," only to give to those lies the credibility of her congressional office, spewing them in her objections to the certification of the vote. And she continues to tow the line of Trump's election fraud lies, refusing to admit that Biden won the election, calling people like Peters hostages.
Peters is just one of dozens of victims of the Big Lie. She is just a pawn. Stefanik and Trump et al are the ones that belong in prison.
Everyone- and I DO meanbEVERYONE- Should seek out and listen to the sentencing of Tina Peter's. The Judge led a Master Class in how this needs to be done- measured but no punches pulled, steadfast in his assessment of the terrible things she has done and continued to do until she was led directly from the Courtroom to jail. He laid out her crimes in a way we WISH other Judges would, in particular the cases that have come before NY, DC & Florida in recent years in re: the former president and his criminal trials. This will probably be the basis of law school classes from now on!
As to #SeditiousStefaniQ- why WAS she at the plotting of January 6 on January 4? What possible reason could she have? I'm sure she will be happy to share the reasonable and not nefarious reasons for her meeting with these traitors, as soon as she dredges up the courage to actually MEET and face her Constituents. Who am I kidding- she hasn't had a face to face public event since 2019. Her Office refuses to ever answer ANY questions and assuredly has NEVER **Passed on comments to the Congresswoman** in all the years she has been in office. Why WAS her Sharpied name found floating in the White House toilet that day? What WAS she doing?
Ken, I think you may not be aware of the most recent redistricting that took place in Feb '24. NY21 now includes a chunk of Saratoga County. Corinth which you mentioned, and also Stefanik's home in Schuylerville, as well as my own home in Greenfield, are all in NY21. As you know, I'm not looking to stand up for her at all (ha!), but I wanted you to have all the info. It doesn't seem I can attach a photo here, but I will email you a district map. BTW, I noticed that even the NYS Board of Elections site still has an outdated map, so it's understandable how many people could be confused or unaware. That's a real failure on their part. However, when one looks up their voter registration it does show the correct districting. I'll send you a screenshot of this as well.
Jill, Maury Thompson also pointed out that Corinth is in the district now, but it wasn't the last time. Thanks for sharing that information. I will have to run a correction.
Great read on Elise Stefanik. Speaks honestly about what Elise was and has become. This morning NCPR broadcasted their interview with Paula Collins who is the Democrat challenging Elise this year.
I just think it's shameful that the DCCC has thrown in the towel by not supporting Paula Collins, as they did with Tedra Cobb and Matt Castelli. Stefanik is, in my opinion, not invincible, but whoever her opponent is needs the full support of the DCCC. Fingers crossed in 2026.

GREAT QUOTE!

White House logs clearly state she was in Oval Office meeting with President Trump.

Let's hope you are right. But I fear many other places are not like that.

And yet she can’t be bothered to come back to the area that she supposedly represents.

Thanks, Ken. There is a vice-presidential candidate who even admits that he will “create stories” if that’s what it takes. (I.e., Springfield, Ohio).

While the map doesn’t show Stefanik’s district including Corinth, it does show her on Corinth’s ballot.
Good find regarding our Trumper congressional representative visiting the WH prior to Jan 6th.
I wonder if Ms. Peters, as she serves her 9 year prison sentence, will ever ponder that age old question....was this worth it? Was Trump worth it?
