Former President Donald Trump will host another one of his Save America rallies, this time in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The former president will speak in support of Republican candidates Mehmet Oz and state Sen. Doug Mastriano ahead of their crucial midterm elections in November.

Save America rally in support of Dr. Oz will be held at Mohegan Sun Arena

President Trump’s rally will be held at Mohegan Sun Arena. The rally comes just over two months before Election Day, in a race in which both Oz, the Republican Senate nominee, and Mastriano, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, trail their Democratic opponents in polling and fund-raising.

Mr. Trump announced the rally in an email from his Save America PAC while Mastriano was in Pittsburgh for an event with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. “Please join us for a Save America Rally in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA! Entertainment and Concessions will be available throughout the day,” read the official announcement.

The speeches at the Trump rally will start at 4 p.m., with the former president scheduled to speak at 7 p.m.

On Friday, Donald Trump‘s Save America PAC announced the rally as one for “the entire Pennsylvania Trump Ticket.” Jim Bognet, a Republican congressional candidate running in a rematch against U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, is also expected to attend.

Mehmet Oz, who trails Democrat Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in recent polls by five to ten points, also trails him in fund-raising. Last quarter, the Democratic candidate raised about $11 million. Oz raised only $3.8 million, including $2 million for his campaign.

Aug. 25—MONTVILLE — Residents voted to turn over two roads and a portion of a third to the Mohegan tribe at a Town Meeting on Wednesday night.

The vote was 29-4. The four voters not in favor are residents of one of the three streets.

The Wednesday’s vote approved the transfer of Sunny Hill Drive, Fort Shantok Road East and a portion of Shantok Heights Road. The town will maintain ownership of all other portions of Shantok Heights Road and Fort Shantok Road.

Town Clerk Katie Haring explained the Town Council must now set a date for a public hearing on an ordinance that would allow the transfer of the property by the Town Council.

The town entered an agreement with the tribe last August to turn over the roads using a a quit-claim deed. Although the transferred sections of road only provide access to tribal land, and only tribe members live along them, not all residents approved of the plan Wednesday.

Eileen MacDonald and Barbara Cedio of Shantok Heights Road voiced their concerns about a gate the tribe plans to erect across the eastern portion of Shantok Heights Road to prevent access to Sunny Hill Drive at its midpoint, creating a dead end for residents.

MacDonald, who said she’s lived on the road for nearly 30 years with her husband Ed, said residents have used Sunny Hill Drive to access their homes as an alternative to the steep incline of Shantok Heights Road.

She added that emergency vehicles and garbage trucks, will also no longer be able to use the alternate route.

Tribal attorney Harry Heller assured residents that fire and police services will have keys to access the gate. MacDonald said that assurance did not ease her concerns.

“It could be a very dangerous situation,” MacDonald said.

Heller could not say the same for recycling and garbage trucks,…

Former US President Donald Trump said on Monday that FBI agents raided his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Law enforcement officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Trump’s claims.

The focus of the investigation was not immediately clear. Here is a look at some of the probes and lawsuits that Trump faces.

MISSING NATIONAL RECORDS

The US National Archives and Records Administration in February notified Congress that it had recovered about 15 boxes of White House documents from Trump’s Florida home, some of which contained classified materials.

The US House of Representatives Oversight Committee at that time said it was expanding an investigation into Trump’s actions and asked the Archives to turn over additional information. Trump previously confirmed that he had agreed to return certain records to the Archives, calling it “an ordinary and routine process.”

JAN 6 ATTACK ON THE US CAPITOL

A congressional panel probing January 6, 2021, assault by Trump supporters on the US Capitol is working to build a case that he broke the law in trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

Vice chair Liz Cheney has said the committee could make multiple referrals to the Justice Department seeking criminal charges against Trump, who accuses the panel of conducting a sham investigation. 

In a March 2 court filing, the committee detailed Trump’s efforts to persuade then-Vice President Mike Pence to either reject slates of electors for Democrat Joe Biden, who won the election, or delay a congressional count of those votes.

Trump’s efforts likely violated a federal law making it illegal to “corruptly” obstruct any official proceeding, or attempt to do so, said David Carter, the California federal judge overseeing the casE

In the March 2 filing, the committee said it was likely that Trump and others conspired to defraud the United…

Four-time Super Bowl champion and NFL legend Rob Gronkowski will be celebrating his retirement in style at Mohegan Sun next month.

“Rob Gronkowski’s Official Retirement Party” will take place at FanDuel Sportsbook in the casino on Saturday, Sept. 10 from 9-11 p.m. The party will feature complimentary appetizers, a champagne toast and the opportunity to run into the former Tight End, according to a press release.

DJ Whoo Kid, the host of The Whoolywood Shuffle on Sirius/XM, will be present all night spinning tracks while the “Gronk Smash Burger” will make its debut at the event. Guests might even be able to see Gronkowski do the “Gronk Smash” on the dance floor. 

An after party will take place at the Avalon Nightclub in Mohegan Sun starting at 11:30 p.m.

Gronkowski’s long-term girlfriend, Camille Kostek, is a Killingworth native and has been spotted on various occassions visiting her home state with the ex-NFL star.  

The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers player announced his initial retirement in 2019 before coming back in 2020 to join former teammate Tom Brady on the Buccaneers. Gronkowski…

Sen. Pete Harckham, Yorktown Supervisor Matt Slater and Ken Belfer.

State Senator Pete Harckham recently announced that he has delivered a $100,000 grant for the Mohegan Lake Improvement District and Town of Yorktown for the installation of a new aeration system and retrofitting existing aeration systems in the lake to remove phosphorus in the lake that is causing large algae blooms each year.

By themselves, most algae and similar single-cell organisms actually benefit marine ecosystems and pose no risk to humans and wildlife. But the expansive, often smelly surface mats of freshwater algae blooms on ponds and lakes can harbor cyanobacteria, a toxic blue-green algae that can sicken swimmers and animals that ingest the water. Phosphorus leaching into the lake and warmer summer temperatures have only increased the algae blooms in the past few years.

“The extensive phosphorous abatement project being undertaken at Mohegan Lake will help restore this important natural resource and make it safe for recreation,” said Harckham. “I am happy to support both the Mohegan Lake Improvement District and Town of Yorktown in this effort with state funding that will reduce costs that would otherwise be shouldered by local taxpayers.  I am thankful to Ken Belfer of the Mohegan Lake Improvement District and all the residents for their efforts to address the challenges regarding the algae blooms and their creating models of success for other lake communities.”

Wooded areas and residential neighborhoods surround Mohegan Lake. For a number of years, blue-green algae blooms have interfered with seasonal recreation use of the 103-acre lake, with the local beaches often closed down for long stretches of the summer. A homemade aeration system and periodic treatments of copper compounds, which settle in the sediment, have not…
