DAVID DITCH: Three Reasons We Can’t Seem To Step Off The Government Shutdown Merry-Go-Round

DAVID DITCH: Three Reasons We Can’t Seem To Step Off The Government Shutdown Merry-Go-Round David Ditch on January 24, 2024 Congress continues to be the definition of dysfunction. It misses budget deadlines, relies on the threat of government shutdowns to get anything done and then spends taxpayer funds recklessly without review. This is not a one-time situation, it’s a pattern. Once again, a temporary spending bill was passed last week, one day before there would have been a partial government shutdown. Considering that the gross national debt is now over $100,000 for every man, woman and child in the country,

COREY LEWANDOSWKI: Donald Trump Is A Juggernaut That Can’t Be Stopped

COREY LEWANDOSWKI: Donald Trump Is A Juggernaut That Can’t Be Stopped Corey Lewandowski on January 3, 2024 That’s right. Let’s face it, many have tried to stop Donald J. Trump, but few, if any have been successful. Yes, it’s true I’ve heard all the stories about who “could” beat former President Donald Trump, Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Gov. Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, etc. etc. etc., but the reality is none of them are going to beat him. Trump’s biggest concern, that is until the Supreme Court weighs in, is liberal, self-aggrandizing individuals who are using the power of their office

MOSCOW (Reuters) – The United States cannot turn the tide of war in Ukraine by pumping tens of billions more dollars into the country, the Kremlin said on Tuesday, ahead of planned talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and U.S. leaders.

Interpol can’t do much more to stop abuse of ‘red notices’, chief says

By Francois Murphy VIENNA (Reuters) – Interpol has come a long way in preventing abuse by Russia and others of its “red notice” system where a country asks others to arrest a suspect, and cannot do much more for now to improve it, the agency’s head said on Tuesday. Rights groups, legal experts and others have long said countries like Russia and China abuse the red notice system by using it to get political critics arrested abroad. Over the years Interpol, the global police coordination body with 195 member states, has increased checks to prevent abusive red notices, and it

In New Jersey, The Best Teachers Often Can’t Afford to Live and Work in the Best Districts

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ – Teachers in New Jersey, especially those in high-performing districts such as Bergen County, are facing significant challenges due to the high cost of living. Despite earning a salary close to $60,000, which is substantial for a first-step elementary teacher, many find it difficult to afford housing within a reasonable distance of their schools. This leads many teachers to work with long commutes or to bypass teaching in New Jersey altogether. That’s because New Jersey is one of the most expensive states to live in. The cost of living, high taxes, and expensive housing options make life

TOMS RIVER, NJ – If you are a Republican, you are the problem. That’s the message from New Jersey Congressman Andy Kim who says the Republican party cannot be trusted to run America. Kim, a reformed radical left-wing advisor under former President Barack Obama, of late, has been shifting back to his old roots as a Democrat antagonist and organizer against the Republican party. “For a long time, Republicans have built up a style of governance focused on fear. This has led to a generation of political figures who are more interested in being social influencers than lawmakers, a trend

(Reuters) – Richmond Federal Reserve Bank chief Thomas Barkin on Tuesday said that higher long-term borrowing costs are putting downward pressure on demand but it’s unclear how that will affect the central bank’s rates decision in two weeks. “Longer-term rates have moved up, that’s certainly tightened financial conditions…the challenge with depending on (long-term) rates is they can move,” Barkin told reporters after a speech at the Real Estate Roundtable in Washington, D.C.

Why New Jersey Residents Can’t Pump Their Own Gas and Everyone Else in America Can

New Jersey stands alone as the only state in the U.S. where customers are not allowed to pump their own gas—every gas station is full-service, with attendants ready to fill up your tank. While Oregon also has a similar law, it is far less stringent, allowing some areas to offer self-service gas stations and most restrictions were repealed in 2023. Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth Polling Institute, traces this unique law back to mid-20th-century politics. “It goes back to the middle of the 20th century,” Murray said. “There were forces involved who wanted to protect their interests in

HELSINKI (Reuters) – The European Central Bank has done enough for now to combat inflation but a further increase in interest rates later on cannot be ruled out, Bank of Finland board member Tuomas Valimaki said on Tuesday.

New Jersey Power Grid Can’t Handle Phil Murphy’s 2035 EV Mandate, Gas Car Ban

TRENTON, NJ – The power grid in New Jersey is barely capable of keeping the lights on in New Jersey during extreme weather events and when New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s gas car ban floods the grid with hundreds of thousands of electric vehicles charging day and night, the grid will collapse.
