Re: Jersey City Government Corruption Scandal - 16 arrested

Sorry for necroing.
I'm not really shocked about these scandals. Just look at senator Bob Menendez. Honestly, it seems like a case of "when," not "if." Anyone who dips their toes into illegal activities is caught sooner or later. But they still can get out by appealing the verdict.
According to Oberheiden P.C., they can appeal on various grounds, like if evidence was unlawfully obtained or wrongfully presented or if there was a legal error during the trial. So, if they have the resources, they could do this and stay out of jail.

We had a good shake downtown a minute ago and I'd also guessed it was an earthquake. Downtown I'd say it lasted only about 5-10 seconds -- my computer monitor was shaking and I could hear a big rumble outside-

Didn't you get the letters or read about it? We knew it was coming, just not "how bad". And it's BAD. My annual taxes just went from $18k to $24k, so that's another $500/month for absolutely nothing more in services. And to think that 35 years ago I was paying about $950 in annual taxes...

Don't know if you're looking for a flat or just individual plants, but there's a great shop at a corner of Jersey Avenue a block NORTH of the Holland Tunnel exit traffic. Bought some nice plants there last week-

I'm glad you're fighting it. Tell the judge that you received conflicting answers regarding permit requirement before/after receiving the ticket.
And where do they expect you to mount said permit?? The adhesive is on the printed side for mounting on the INSIDE of the back window of your car. Unless you have a windscreen on a front fairing I don't see any way to mount it and have it be visible. It makes no sense to me...

Wow, that sucks. I've been riding my old mopeds around JC for decades and it was always my understanding that no permit was required. I park it off the street overnight but when I'm out I park it on the street or even on the edge of the sidewalk. I've even had cops walk by as I'm locking it to a parking meter on the sidewalk and they've just said "nice bike"! I'd fight that ticket, for sure. Pls let us know how you make out-

Re: Large group of kids at Lincoln Park today

Home away from home
Home away from home


Took a bike ride around the perimeter of the park yesterday and there was an apparently-Church group of 50, none with masks and all standing together. Nobody bothered them.

And then, get this, 4 Sheriff Dept cars with about 6 officers arrived to break up a Yoga group. There might have been 40 people, all wearing masks and sitting 8 feet apart on their mats and the cops made them stop because they'd had a "large group" complaint from someone. I spoke with someone who had been in the group and she confirmed that they were ordered to disperse.

Seems like pretty random, and not very intelligent, enforcement.

This just in from a neighbor. Instead of extending the Pedestrian Plaza farther West on Jersey Avenue, it's going to be a limited closing of Grove Street:

Why are you still asking? File, or find an attorney to do it if it's worth saving your time.


Exactly! You could have filed for eviction a month ago instead of giving away another "free" month.

I assume the tenant's name is on the lease, not the Relief program. Did you at least get a security deposit?

A backsplash is an incredibly-easy DIY job. Less than 6 square feet and it's nothing more than a bit of mastic and some grout. About as easy as buttering a piece of toast and it can't take more than an hour, tops-

About the only reason I could think of to hire someone for this is if you have fancy tile or edging that needs to be cut with a wet saw, which most people don't have.

I had the same reaction: this is truly nothing less than insurance fraud, and someone trying to game the system. Heck, I don't even know how he/she was able to get a 30-day temp permit with the car being registered in someone else's name, as the Parking Authority is usually super strict about matching the applicant's license, registration, and address.


His/her Mommy (the co-conspirator in the admitted insurance fraud) probably got the permit. Sheesh...

Right. And the Catholic Church has already paid over 3 BILLION dollars to victims of clergy abuse.

Being gay isn't the problem. The problem is the church. Yes, Yvonne, every time you drop something in the donation basket you are contributing toward the continuation of this widespread abuse.

Thanks to MDM for the precision updates.

For an antidote to the ritual hype and endless repetition of the Weather Channel reports on Florence, take a look at this comprehensive, beautifully illustrated analysis and forecast:

https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Flor ... ain-Surge-and-Wind-Damage

As a lifelong and avid sailor I was particularly struck by its brief description of wave heights:
Wave heights to 83 ft were measured early this morning under the NE quadrant of Hurricane Florence. These enormous waves are produced by being trapped along with very strong winds moving in the same direction the storm's motion.
I'm glad this monster doesn't have any of us in its sights!

I've been through this 3 times, all in Downtown. If it's brick then you can expect some mortar to be knocked out by the pressure washer so it will need re-pointing. And since you're already paying for the scaffolding setup you might as well get the front cornice painted at the same time. Maybe window trim if it's wood.

There's cheap quotes and there's great quality work for a bit more. Say more about the job desired and I'll get you some solid contacts-

41. ?Lead A Child Astray? You?d Be Better Off Drowned!? ? Jesus

Matthew 18:6
?But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7 Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! ?

10 ?See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.?

?How we treat children matters to God?

Jesus had used a small child, (who knows, it may even have been a female), to teach his disciples a basic lesson about the Kingdom of God. The relatively insignificant social status of a child challenged pride and commended humility. The child then became a vehicle for designating his followers whether young or old. To harm one of ?these little ones? was to court the judgement of God.

The Law of the Kingdom of God is love; love towards God and love towards others. To offend against that Law in any form is to incur God?s just judgement. To practice harm to any, especially children, ? for in the Bible they are recognized as belonging to that group of vulnerable people who deserve particular care and protection ? is to offend grievously against the One who has a special regard for the vulnerable. In fact, it is, as Jesus said, better to be plunged heavily weighted into the sea, than to face the justice of the God who is Love, for being cruel to a child.

Sort of depends on the type of key. Most well-equipped locksmiths carry blanks for all popular brands. But most can only copy the old-style keys with teeth. The newer type are tougher. Try Catanio Locksmith on Grove St. at Wayne and Monaco Lock on Newark somewhere around 3rd St. If it includes the remote system then I suspect your only option will be the dealer and big bucks-

I have been following this more closely than you, JC man24. McCarrick's problem has touched the Vatican is because he went after minors as well as adult men in the seminary. McCarrick would invite seminarians to his beach house where there was only one bedroom. Not all the seminarians took kindly to McCarrick, some transferred to other seminarians and now many of them are posting on Catholic websites. McCarrick's nickname was "Uncle Ted." Pope Benedict stripped McCarrick of all privileges and was basically under house arrest. Pope Francis restored his privileges. So the former Archbishop of Newark will probably bring down the present pope in the Vatican. Abp. Carlo Maria Vigan?, the former nuncio to the United States said this Pope Francis knew about McCarrick because he told him.


The Catholic Church has a serious abuse problem regardless of how finely you want to slice and dice the semantics, and the current crisis is probably going to bring up some serious world order-level changes like we haven't seen in centuries. It's going to be hilarious.


Hilarious indeed. The significant sexual abuse going on within the priesthood has been pretty well know for at least the last 50 years. And it took some seriously brave men and women to be among the first to call it out. Now the calling out is easier and the cash settlements are larger but the Catholic church (in particular) has simply paid the price and transferred accused priests to new locations where they continued to do what they do. Pretty sick, IMO.

The Catholic church is a business. Big business, as in Fortune 100 if we knew the numbers but they won't tell us and they don't pay income tax like the rest of us. The leaders of the church are simply making a calculated bet that they can get away with this shit and still make a boatload of money every year.

As for Yvonne, I wish she'd just go away. Loves Trump and loves her church and can make up her own version of "truth" by pulling it out of her ass. Repeatedly, and again and again and again. It's tiring, it's obnoxious and it's definitely not appreciated by virtually anyone on this Forum.
