New Jersey: Your Gas Tax Jumps Again On 10/1 . . .

Are you ready, New Jersey?
Are you REALLY ready for this? We warned you about it in 2016. We asked you to mobilize. We begged you to protest.
Because that's when your state legislators in Trenton voted to hike your gas tax by an astronomical 23 cents per gallon. 
But that wasn't the end of it. No, not by a long shot.
Because the swindlers in Trenton had more up their sleeves via a sneaky little provision in the bill.
So now, Governor Murphy & Co. have announced that New Jersey's gas will rise another 4.3 cents per gallon on Oct. 1.
How can THAT happen?
Well, Pilacious Phil's administration is authorized to make the hike because the law now stipulates that if the original gas tax brings in less than expected, the state can raise the rate to keep it on target.
The state says that this year motorists bought less gasoline in New Jersey (what a shocker!) and revenues are lagging. So, they'll raise the gas tax just like that -- with a snap of the gas pump.

We warned you, New Jersey!

This is just another boondoggle brought to you by the professional politicians in the Joizee Swamp otherwise known as Trenton -- as in You Make, Trenton Takes!

And below, highlighted in yellow, you'll find the names of the members of the state senate and state assembly who voted for this outrage. Blame them!

Vigano is the cleric who has implicated Pope Francis in the priest sexual abuse scandal and coverup.

So Tell Us, Who's 'Monkeying' Around Now?

So, Who Is It That's REALLY Failed?

Fighting The Good Fight; Proclaiming Great News!

Fighting for drug-free communities 

Families across the country are affected by the dangers of substance abuse and dependency. President Donald J. Trump's was no different.

“I had a brother who had a really big alcohol problem,” the President said from the White House this afternoon. “A very tough thing for our family.” Now, a new crisis of addiction is leaving its mark on America: “Sadly, in 2017, an estimated 134 Americans die each day from opioid-related overdoses.”

So today, in honor of the 20-year anniversary of the Drug-Free Communities Support Program grant awards, President Trump announced $91 million in grants to a record 731 local drug prevention groups across all 50 states. “We’ve never done anything to this extent. We’ve never done anything this large.”

The program works, the evidence shows. “The Drug-Free Communities Program is a proven success, cutting alcohol and prescription drug abuse by an average of nearly 20 percent among high-school students and participating communities,” President Trump said. “Incredible what they’ve been able to do.”

Watch: President Trump tell his family’s story on substance abuse. 

We knew growth was strong. It just got stronger. 

Last month, President Trump addressed Americans from the South Lawn of the White House. “I am thrilled to announce that, in the second quarter of this year, the United States economy grew at the amazing rate of 4.1 percent. We’re on track to hit the highest annual average growth rate in over 13 years.”

Turns out, the news is even better. With more complete data now available, a new Commerce Department report released today reveals that America’s economy grew even faster than initially estimated in the second quarter: a 4.2 percent annualized rate.

The second quarter was the first full quarter with President Trump’s tax cuts in effect. More money in the pockets of America’s working families—along with historic regulatory reform and new, America-first trade deals—has the U.S. economy setting records by the day.

You've NEVER Seen A Store Like This!

And you've NEVER seen Macy's like this.
It opens October 6 inside Macy's Cherry Hill Mall on the third level.
Drastic reductions and lots of merchandise, including stuff that's not sold in the full Macy's
It's a whole new concept. It's Macy's Backstage! Don't miss it!

Yes, The Greatest Face We've Ever Known!

She wasn't particularly shapely.
She was too tall, flat-chested, had big feet and not much of a derriere.
You'd hardly call her a sex symbol.
But she was mysterious and intriguing and once the lights and the cameras were turned on, she became luminescent. She literally lit up the screen.
Her face is, quite simply, the greatest face Hollywood has ever know. The eyes, the lips, the nose, the bone structure, the expressiveness -- all proved captivating. She could present a completely Sphinx-like, blank face one minute and appear anguished or tortured or puzzled or pensive or studious or even delighted the next minute.
Last night we watched her in a silent film called The Kiss and (like her then very young co-star Lew Ayers) we couldn't take our eyes off her.
And once she finally spoke up in her first talkie (Anna Christie) the voice matched the face of this beguiling seductress. It was everything audiences had expected, and more. When she finally burst into full-fledged  laugher in Ninotchka, the whole world laughed with her.
Though she's been dead for nearly 30 years, her image, her life, her films (and her decades alone and out of the public eye) continue to fascinate.
She was The Face, The Look, the very definition of cinematic beauty.
She remains, Greta Garbo!

They're Back! And With Cold, Hard FACTS!

When it comes to the truth about what's happening and why, you just can't top Diamond & Silk!

Just Absolutely Outrageous And Shameful!

Andy Kim was caught embellishing his resume and exaggerated his role in military and national security affairs. He changed his web site when he was caught lying and was criticized by local veterans. Andy stood idly while the Mayor of Hoboken introduced him saying, "he has gone overseas to literally fight and sacrifice his life." News flash: Andy Kim was never in the military.
