    I never paid much attention to him. I assumed he was a successful businessman. I knew about the bankruptcies but thought it was just him being clever. Didn't take long to see he is a fraud and grifter. 

    Known him to be a bad faith businessman who stiffed many of his workers both in NYC, and in AC,NJ.  
    And, a groper. All around gross individual. Never could understand who could like this person, even before his stumble into politics.

  2. Doesn’t an enormous amount of goods still travel cross country on freight trains?  Need to maintain and upgrade those systems, imo.

    While “people commuter” trains may be only reasonable in metro areas, (& mostly East coast), they’re important and will remain so.

    The list of people who need a swift kick in the butt just keeps growing.

    The written press, for sure, needs to use common sense in their juror descriptions.

    And, honestly, the tv entities who are now part and parcel to the juror intimidation play by Trump , et al, need to be charged with jury tampering and then brought before a court and fined/jailed.

    The judicial process is being critically injured here. 
    When is “enough” going to actually be enough?

  4. In memory of Brian Bluhm. 17 years ago on April 16, 2007- we lost a treasured friend and member who was killed at Virginia Tech.

     ”And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.”
    – Maya Angelou

    RIP, Brian.

    What's next? Disallowing women to have their own checking account or credit statement. How about denying their right to purchase a home, car..certain jobs...or even vote.

    The Family First Party will only be happy when women remain barefoot and pregnant

    Yeah, the bad old days when, as a woman you’d submit applications for a personal credit card , you also needed to include the signature of a husband, a father, or some other man of worth…., all so the “little lady” can have a cc of her own (well, kinda).

    Totally humiliating. Was early 20’s on the ‘70’s; now early 70’s in the 20’s.

    So, if your thought is that we’ll be too old&tired to fight, you’ve not properly assessed the level of white fire anger women my age are - we fought for these changes back in the 70’s for ourselves, but going forward for our sisters, daughters, nieces, granddaughters , friends.  Accepting what the new order wants to toss at us as the first of their “final solutions” is just unacceptable. Totally. 
    **** no.

  6. Well, Jeez, what a fabulous day for women in Arizona who now get to totally immerse themselves in the culture of what 1864 encapsulated.  What fun. Back to the good old days of the Pre-Statehood. -aka- The Territory of Arizona and the draconian Howell Law that will throw into jail anyone complicit in causing an abortion of a pregnant woman…. for a prison sentence not less than 2 years, nor more than 5 years.

    So, for today’s populace, here’s what is happening:

    should you be the driver that brought your family member or friend to the clinic, you’re going to jail. Should you be the nurse who checked you in and took your vital signs and brought you into the room, you’re going to jail. Should you be the doctor that performed the procedure you’re going to jail. And yes , if you are this woman who had this procedure performed on them you’re going to jail too.

    So says the Arizona Supreme Court. So said Kari Lake in 2022 (although now can anyone tell what the **** she’s in favor of now? You’d have to be a genius to figure out that drivel that was vomited from her extremely stupid face today. She learned to lie from the master, and now wouldn’t recognize the truth if it grabbed her by the *****. )
    So, conclusion- **** the Arizona Supreme Court, and you, too Kari Lake.

    We most definitely need a “I’m mad as hell reading this” emoji. 🤬 

    Everyone should be. 
     

    I know someone who is an administrator for a nursing home group in south Jersey.  I’m sending this to her

  8. Well that was interesting. 🧐 

    A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit about 10:22 this morning.

    Just  a few seconds in duration, but enough to shake the chair I was sitting in - I thought something hit my house… or something somewhere exploded.  (Or that the cat was attacking the chair? 🤪)

    I was totally confused … then the news / neighbors confirmed it was an earthquake. The Ramapo Fault line runs through the NJ county I live in, and even though the center of this quake is 50+ miles away, because it was actually on the fault line, we felt it , definitely.

    But what’s the difference? No one who was either there, or watched it on OAN, newsmax, Fox, etc. will ever hear that it was inaccurate, or as most people like to call it - another bald-face lie.

    He lies every day. The next day it’s fact checked and pronounced a lie )or “inaccurate”), and it doesn’t matter. 
     

    This is the world we now live in. Lies do not ever cause the liar any negative repercussions, so what’s the point in correcting them. 
     

    It’s all honestly depressing.

    Do you locals just ignore the constant jet traffic in the background? 😂

    In Flushing Queens, /CitiField - yeah… very close to LaGuardia. Planes all the time.

    by Yankees Stadium, more noise from the elevated subway in that part of the Bronx.

    i would agree that for the most times, it’s just background noise that doesn’t always enter into the consciousness of natives of the neighborhood.
