"A bad sequel" is how American Legion National Commander James E. Koutz described President Obama’s proposal to grant amnesty to people who are in the United States illegally.

"Whether it’s called ‘Pathway to Citizenship’ or some other euphemism, it’s still amnesty," Koutz said. "It didn’t work when President Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, and it will be even more disastrous if we repeat that mistake again."

Freeholder Cappelli: Williamson’s overtime claims are a slap in the face to taxpayers

 
Dear Neighbors,
 
John Williamson, Camden City’s police union representative, has shown the ultimate audacity, slapping the taxpayer in the face by filing a claim to be part of a suit against Camden City for overtime pay while on union leave. For more than 10 years, Mr. Williamson has not been an active participant in policing the streets of Camden City and has solely operated as a full–time taxpayer paid union representative in the Camden City Police Department. Now in a disgraceful display of contempt for the taxpayer and his fellow officers, Mr. Williamson wants to make us believe that, while in his role as a union representative, he has accrued overtime compensation.

HOME COUNTRY: A LIAR'S CONTEST | cnbnews

 

 

by Slim Randles

 

    Delbert McLain came by to have coffee with us the other day. He’s our chamber of commerce, you know. And he ties fishing flies, but doesn’t fish. Delbert’s mission in life seems to be to promote our little valley into becoming so important and prosperous that we won’t want to live here anymore.

  But he does try hard.

  “Got an idea, guys,” he said. He swept his necktie out of the way so he wouldn’t accidentally butter it. “A contest.”

  “Like the knife-sharpening contest you thought up, Del?”

  “No, Doc. That didn’t pan out. See, what I’m thinking is, we should play to our strengths here. You know, delve into our plusses, put our minuses on a shelf somewhere, and show the world what we do best!”

Supreme Court Refuses to Hear '24/7' Policy Case

JANUARY 30, 2013--The state Supreme Court has declined to hear a case involving the Ramapo Indian Hills School Board’s appeal of a ruling that struck down a policy that would bar students from participating in sports and extracurricular activities for off-campus misconduct.

The Supreme Court’s denial of certification on Jan. 16 means that the earlier ruling, entered last year by the appellate court, is final. In that ruling, the appellate court found the district’s policy to be so “overbroad” that students could conceivably be disciplined for minor off-campus infractions such as littering.

Trenton, NJ – Continuing the Christie Administration’s commitment to rebuilding in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, Acting Governor Kim Guadagno and Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner James Simpson today announced that the construction phase of the $350 million Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Causeway project will soon begin to repair damage and create a safer and stronger route for residents and visitors. The 53-year-old causeway that links the mainland to Long Beach Island in Ocean County sustained relatively minor damage during the storm, remaining open at all times. Acting Governor Guadagno noted that the project design is consistent with the Administration’s goal to rebuild storm-damaged infrastructure in a manner that helps it to better withstand the forces of violent storms.

“The Manahawkin Bay Causeway project exemplifies what we are aiming for when it comes to rebuilding in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy – moving quickly to restore what was lost and to do so in a manner that will be stronger, more lasting, and better serve our residents,” said Acting Governor Guadagno. “Our objective throughout the state is to not merely replace what was damaged, but to build it better and stronger. That can mean a different design, construction method or some other element that builds in resiliency, protects our investments and preserves mobility and public safety.”

While our government  And religious organizations Pour Hundreds of  Billions Of $s and Tons of Food
To  Foreign Countries!

We have hundreds of  adoptable children Who are shoved aside  To  make room For the adoption  

Of  foreign orphans.

Elderly going without 'needed'  meds, And mentally ill  Without treatment  -etc.etc.

 

YET.......................

They  have a 'Benefit'  
For the people of  Haiti

On  12 TV stations,

Ships and planes lining  up

FBI wraps up raid at West Palm Beach office of doctor tied to U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez

By Carli Teproff, Marc Caputo and Jay Weaver

mcaputo@MiamiHerald.com

Stringing up crime scene tape and using a locksmith, the FBI on Tuesday and Wednesday raided the West Palm Beach business of an eye doctor suspected of providing free trips and even underage Dominican Republic prostitutes to U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez — who has denied what he calls the “fallacious allegations.”

Agents hauled away boxes and bags of evidence from the medical-office complex of Dr. Salomon Melgen, a contributor to Menendez and other prominent politicians, to start hauling away potential evidence in several vans.

On Wednesday, the FBI agents were joined by an inspector from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, indicating the search-and-seizure raid has ties to a possible Medicare fraud inquiry. Melgen has also been the subject of a parallel federal investigation into his relationship with Menendez, D-N.J., who was first accused of improprieties in the conservative Daily Caller website.

“Dr. Melgen has been a friend and political supporter of Senator Menendez for many years,” Mendendez’s office said. “Senator Menendez has traveled on Dr. Melgen’s plane on three occasions, all of which have been paid for and reported appropriately. Any allegations of engaging with prostitutes are manufactured by a politically-motivated right-wing blog and are false.”

Melgen couldn’t be reached on his home, office or cell phones.

Melgen has been involved in a variety of lawsuits, as a plaintiff and defendant in Palm Beach County. One of his civil attorneys, Jack Scarola, said Melgen is “a man of great honesty, veracity’’ who follows the law.

Preaching to the Choir on Housing by Nicole Gelinas - City Journal

28 January 2013

At last Thursday night’s mayoral debate on housing policy at an East New York church, Joseph Lhota, the Republican newcomer to the race, distinguished himself by being quiet. The housing forum showed how hard it is to run for mayor by talking to everyone, and how politically brave one has to be to try. The hosts and the questioners accepted as fact that New York faces an affordable-housing crisis and that it’s the city’s job to fix it. Everyone who spoke wanted the city to build or “preserve” city-controlled housing—whether private, rent-regulated buildings or public units. The first questioner, Erica Townsend of Brooklyn, asked: “Mayor Bloomberg is on the right track to build and renovate 165,000 units of housing, 15,000 per year. . . . Do you agree, and commit to preserving and building a total of 60,000 of housing [units] over four years?”

Not one of the candidates on stage—four Democrats, Lhota, and fellow Republican Tom Allon, a publisher—dared say no. City comptroller John Liu; his predecessor, Bill Thompson; and public advocate Bill de Blasio all agreed that 60,000 new city-supported housing units should be the minimum. Liu said that he had used $440 million in city-guaranteed pension-fund money to invest in 38,000 units of government-controlled housing; De Blasio said Liu hadn’t done enough.

Christine Quinn, the Democratic city council speaker, jumped in, too. Touting her “first job” as a tenant activist, Quinn said, “we’ve lost 300,000 . . . affordable housing [units] in this city” in recent years “because of the way Albany has eroded rent protection.” Quinn cautioned that building new city-controlled housing would not be “cost-free.” Her solution? “You need to decide it’s a priority in your capital budget.”

For a small-l libertarian—as Lhota describes himself—or just someone concerned about groupthink, there was plenty to respond to here. Lhota--continue to read via www.city-journal.org

DeWitt, TCNJ baseball make $8,000 donation to Red Cross Jersey Coast

Ewing, NJ … On the morning of November 1st, The College of New Jersey head baseball coach Dean Glus received an email from one of his ballplayers. Sophomore Jacob DeWitt (Florence, NJ/Florence Twp.) drafted a lengthy correspondence that began like this.

Coach,

Last night I couldn't sleep after seeing all the pictures from the beach towns affected by the hurricane, so I kept thinking about what I could do, what we could do, to help make a difference. I had the idea that we sell wristbands that say "We Are Jersey Strong" for $5.

It went on to say … 

We want to show you, the administration, the community, and each other that we are capable adults and leaders in the community.
