Then, when push came to shove and the Senate passed the final version of the bill in a 25-11 vote, Andrzejczak was there to cast his yes vote.

TRUMP DRIVES SOCIALIST WEDGE IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY DURING SOTU ADDRESS

By Joe Sixpack 

President Donald Trump touched a few third rails during his State of the Union (SOTU) address. He also dared utter one word which showed the American people the nexus where the old and new Democratic Party meet. 

That word? Socialism. 

When Trump boomed, “America will never be a Socialist country”, one side of the aisle stood and applauded loudly. The Democratic establishment – represented by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remained seated while half-heartedly applauding, as if they were sitting on a fence. On one side of the fence sits a significant percentage of their voting bloc, which openly supports Socialism. On the other side of the fence sits the Reagan Democrat base that has not yet defected to Trump.

By Kumar Balani

CNBNews graphics file

There were 34,709 crimes of various types committed by illegal aliens in fiscal years 2016, 2017 and the 11 months of 2018, according to the United States Customs and Border Patrol or CBP, one of the seven components of the Department of Homeland Security.

While the largest number of crimes - more than fifteen thousand or 44 percent of the arrests and convictions of illegal aliens - were for unlawful entry or reentry, all the other crimes – 19,510 offenses or 56 percent - caused financial, medical, physical, psychological or sexual harm, impairment, or damage to the hapless victims, or led to their deaths. 

This includes crimes such as ‘driving under the influence’ of alcohol or drugs or narcotics, or the possession, trafficking, and transport of deadly weapons and drugs – that resulted in, or had the potential to result in harm to or death of people.  

The range of crime types during this three-year period was so wide that almost 5,700 or one of every six crimes were placed under the category of ‘other’. Needless to say, these ‘other’ un-categorized crimes may also have caused bodily harm.

Four Ways to Provide for Your Family

 

(February 5, 2019)--It doesn’t matter if you’re a mom or a dad - providing for your family will feel like an innate, instinctual obligation. More than that, it’s one of the most pleasurable things that you can do as a responsible, thoughtful parent. The question is: in which areas are your provisions most required and appreciated? How can you translate your work and your earnings into the kind of life that your family deserves? This short article has the answers, looking at four main pillars of family life, and how you can help support them through constant loving provision.

Finances

All families rely on a constant source of income to provide the material necessities and lifestyle extras of family life. As a parent, providing in the economic arena is as important as it comes, because a sudden loss of income can cause huge disruption to your way of life and stability of your family. Whether it’s doubling down at work, finding extra employment, or taking out a single premium life insurance policy to protect yourself in worst-case scenarios, managing your family’s finances will help your children and your partner grow in a nourishing, safe environment.

NJBIA: Plan to Expand Jet Fuel Tax Bad for Business, Economy, Consumers

 

Legislation to expand jet fuel taxes imposed on commercial airlines in New Jersey will lead to higher airfare costs for consumers and businesses, and make New Jersey's already challenging business tax climate even worse, according to the New Jersey Business & Industry Association.

 

Currently, the state's 4-cent Petroleum Products Gross Receipts Tax (PPGRT) is only levied on jet fuel used by commercial planes during taxiing and takeoffs, not during flight. The bill, S-2892/A-4392, would subject all aviation fuel purchased in New Jersey to the 4-cent tax.

Fact check: Did taxes on Murphy’s mansion get cut in half in 2018?

New Jersey 101.5 decided to check out Murphy's tax bill because the curious Zillow

listing was being shared online. It caught the attention of a reader who asked us to look into it.

Considering that tax bills in the state on average edged up by 0.9 percent last year, a nearly 50 percent drop in the governor's 6-acre Navesink waterfront abode would certainly raise questions.

According to Middletown Tax Collector Judith Vassallo, the 2018 figure that Zillow used appears to be the amount billed for the August and November tax quarters last year.

We reached out to Zillow to get their reaction and will update this story with their response when we get it.

By comparison, the average residential tax bill in New Jersey last year was $8,767. In Middletown, the average was $9,243, an increase of 4 percent. Compare your town here.

TRENTON, NJ --It’s always been difficult to live in New Jersey because of the onerous taxes, restrictions and fees, but due to the fact that we are a creative and industrious lot, we’ve always found a way to make it through. Traditionally, New Jersey property owners have found a couple of extra bucks by either buying summer rental properties or, more recently, using their already existing properties as short term rentals through Airbnb or similar sites. But even that revenue stream is not safe from the hungry New Jersey tax monster, hungrier now due to a governor who never saw a tax he didn’t like.

What The News Says About Shopping For Used Cars On A Tight Budget

 

(January 21,2019)--Shopping for a car is a stressful task, to say the least. Consumers have to haggle with pushy salesmen and find a reliable dealership all the while trying to make sure they are getting the most out of their money. However, when shopping for used cars on a budget it makes things even that much harder. Any consumer shopping for a used car on a $5,000 budget is probably expecting the worst. In fact, most consumers shopping with a budget like this probably automatically assume that they aren’t going to even find a reliable car at this price, but what can they do? They need transportation and this is the only amount of money they can come with.

 

Know What To Expect

 

Recent news reports show that any consumer that is shopping for a car on a $5,000 budget needs to know what they can expect to get at this price point. Consumers must go into the situation with realistic expectations. The news shows that in today’s time when shopping on a $5,000 budget consumers can expect to get a vehicle that has anywhere from 100,000 to 150,000 miles, the vehicle will be at least ten years old, there will be signs of wear, and probably even signs of cosmetic damage. That being said consumers should remember that just because they have a light budget it doesn’t mean that they have to settle on something they don’t want. Consumers just need to make sure that they are being realistic without getting hung up on the small details.
