Is it wrong that I'm sorta looking forward to people's snarky comments on this one? You have to have some fun in life.

Are you crazy? How would gun laws prevented this? How often do you hear about legal guns being used in shootings here in JC? I'm pretty sure it's already against the law to bring a gun into the Newport Mall. As for interstate gun transport. Check with that guy from PA who was driving through NJ to NY and got stopped at the holland tunnel. I'll bet he might have something to say about how strict NJ is

The late Fr. Richard Neuhaus said this is a homosexual problem. And according to the FBI who created the John Jay report, 85% of the victims were males, basically teenage boys, not young children. Add to the fact the CDC who keeps track of who gets HIV, the largest group is 13 to 24 year old. But here is my question, why is a 13 year getting HIV? They are being molested by adult gay men. This is nothing but deflection to say, that females are victims. Yes, they are but in much smaller numbers. According to the seminarians who transferred to other places or left, ther is a real gay sub-culture who are active sexually. I am hoping for a thorough investigation. But I also want an investigation of what former child actor Corey Feldman said. The same thing is happening in Hollywood with young male teen actors.

Rumor has it from my Senior HS daughter that teachers won't be showing up for work tomorrow.

Anyone else hear this?

If the teachers strike and she goes to either Dickinson, Ferris, Lincoln or Snyder I would let her stay home that day. If she goes to Liberty or McNair she should be fine.

I was a student during the last strike the schools won't be able to hire enough substitutes to control the kids. All they will do is put all the students in Auditoriums, Gyms and Cafeterias and the kids will quickly realize they run the show until this strike is over.

Actually, I had no idea. Makes a lot more sense now.

So when a sidewalk is all torn up by a tree, to the point of being a hazard, it's the homeowner's liability?

Yes.

I just got my revaluatation letter from Appraisal Systems:

2018 Total Assessed Value: $2,416,400

2018 Estimated Annual Taxes: $39,145.68

2017 Total Assessed Value: $190,000

2017 Total Annual Taxes: $14,820.00

According to this, my property taxes will increase by $24,000 or 2.6 times what I am paying now.

That's completely insane.

I'm new to JC (and the USA as a whole, fresh off the boat a year ago or so). These older names are far superior to the replacements. Actually, one of my peeves is the renaming of everything and anything to historical figures. Maybe if it was just surnames, it'd sit right... but it seems kinda odd to see things like "Martin Luther King Drive", "Ronald Reagan Boulevard" or "Warren G. Harding Middle School".

Then again, I'm probably showing my ignorance and Jackson, Henderson, and Manila were probably named after people (but at least it was just the surname)

1. Mueller FBI Investigation

One problem-Mueller has found googootz so far, despite appointing a team of Clinton Democrat supporters to go after our President. Nothing. Zilch. Nada. Googootz!

You seem to not understand how actual professional investigations work, as opposed to the theater of the Hillary witch hunts. They don't leak, and when they have cooperating witnesses, no one knows till the witnesses have served their purpose and gathered more evidence. They don't make deals with indictees without getting plenty in return, it's not like the local ADA who just wants to move on to the next kid arrested for weed possession. This is far from over.

'They don't leak'. Did you really type that, lol?

If there was anything at all of substance about collusion we'd know it. What we do know is that a high level FBI staffer met with author of the phony Trump dossier-now that's collusion!

Not to mention the Justice Department collusion with the Clinton's over the 'accidental tarmac meeting' that the FBI colluded to try and hide from the US public.

Don't assume that your package was "stolen" (in the traditional sense) if it's not there. Saturday FedEx marked a package of mine as delivered. I was home all day, basically watching and listening for the delivery and generally in sight line of my front window, and a FedEx truck never even came down my street. Maybe FedEx misdelivered, maybe FedEx is in on the scam.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your loyal patronage for these many years and allowing us to serve you.

Best regards and fare well

This is terrible news many of the restaurant spaces are empty now not a good look for the area. I hope they get another good Chinese restaurant soon.

Jennifer Liepen and Sandy Patch own a $345,000 house in Jersey City that they?ve never lived in ? which might not be so unusual, except for the fact that they don?t have any other home.

?We?re nomads,? Patch told The Post. ?[We?re] moving to where resources are at any given time.?

Instead, the married couple moves into a different NYC apartment every week or so. As pet sitters, Liepin, 32, and Patch, 33, crash for free at various clients? apartments and care for cats and dogs while their owners are out of town.

The pair allow themselves a combined weekly budget of just $100. Patch said they have saved ?close to $50,000? apartment-hopping for the past two years.

They Eat Out of Garbage Cans, Too.
