BOOM! It's Not Just Jobs; It's The Whole Econmy!

Have you seem those June jobs numbers?
Nearly a quarter of a million new jobs have been created in just one month. And this has been the norm during the Trump years rather than the exception, as our economy continues to boom.
Furthermore, these new jobs are good jobs -- most of them are in manufacturing, construction and high tech professional fields. Only a few years ago these sectors of our economy were in the tank. In fact, it was President Obama himself who said you could pretty much forget about manufacturing job growth in America. Well, Trump's roaring economy has proved him wrong.
In fact, right now a record 157 million Americans have been employed and the unemployment level remains at an unprecedented low rate.
While all this is happening, the stock market is booming, home ownership is up, poverty levels are down, far fewer people are on food stamps and joblessness is at record lows for African-Americans, Hispanics and women. And this, too: Revenue coming into the government is up -- way up!
In short, the economy is roaring ahead on all cylinders and everybody is benefiting. Everybody!
If the Democrats wanna run against this economy, we have three words for them: Bring. It. On.

Murphy Slaps Cooper, South Jersey; Funds North Jersey!

Cooper University Health Care Senior Vice President of Communications & Marketing, Thomas Rubino, issued the following statement today:

Governor Murphy has cut $5 million and frozen $27.4 million in the state budget dedicated to Cooper University Health Care and Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. With the exception of the $5 million he line item vetoed on Sunday, the funding Governor Murphy has frozen this year was in last year’s state budget that he signed. What has changed?

Governor Murphy is freezing $15.4 million in funding used for cancer prevention and for life- saving treatment for patients suffering from cancer in southern New Jersey. Cooper uses this funding to support the growth of southern New Jersey’s only comprehensive regional cancer program. This cancer funding also supports the acquisition of life saving technology, comprehensive cancer education and outreach, and screening services for breast, cervical, colorectal and prostate cancers. Governors of both parties have proposed and supported this critical cancer funding that has allowed thousands of residents to stay in New Jersey to receive the highest level of advanced cancer care.

We note that the state budget has more than $30 million for cancer programs in northern New Jersey that Governor Murphy did not freeze. Governor Murphy’s actions today are more inexplicable given just over 100 days ago, his proposed budget included this exact same cancer funding for Cooper. What has changed?

Worse yet, Governor Murphy did not freeze a $15 million unrestricted grant to East Orange General Hospital. The hospital, currently owned by Los Angeles-based Prospect Medical Holdings, a for profit entity generating annual revenue of $3.2 billion and owned by the private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners L.P.

Nurses unions at other hospitals have attacked Prospect Medical Holdings for failing to make promised investments and understaffing.1 Additionally, a report issued by Moody’s analysts outlined Prospect’s “shareholder-friendly financial policies” which included, according to Moody’s spokesman Joe Mielenhausen, “a debt-funded dividend in the amount of $457 million to its ownership in 2018.”2 It is good to know New Jersey tax dollars will support California private equity millionaires at the expense of a not-for profit cancer center in our state.

Governor Murphy also targeted and has frozen $12 million of funding to Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, which was recently ranked as one of the top most competitive medical schools in the nation. The governor has not targeted any other medical school in northern New Jersey. In a January visit to Cooper, Governor Murphy said “there’s not better medical school in the state than Cooper,” which make his freeze of funding even more curious. Again, what has changed?

On Sunday, Governor Murphy as part of his line item veto also cut a $5 million grant to Cooper to support the Vulnerable Communities Access to Care program designed to improve access to healthcare by addressing poverty, health literacy, safety, and other social determinants of health, and integrate affordable prevention efforts with population-specific interventions.

Something To Remember This 4th Of July

A 4th Of July Message You'll Never Forget!

President Ronald Reagan wrote this 4th of July address himself in his own 

hand and delivered it on that date in 1981:

For one who was born and grew up in the small towns of the
Midwest, there is a special kind of nostalgia about the Fourth of July.

I remember it as a day almost as long-anticipated as Christmas.
This was helped along by the appearance in store windows of all
kinds of fireworks and colorful posters advertising them with vivid
pictures.

No later than the third of July – sometimes earlier – Dad would bring
home what he felt he could afford to see go up in smoke and flame.
We'd count and recount the number of firecrackers, display pieces
and other things and go to bed determined to be up with the sun so
as to offer the first, thunderous notice of the Fourth of July.

I'm afraid we didn't give too much thought to the meaning of the day.
And, yes, there were tragic accidents to mar it, resulting from
careless handling of the fireworks. I'm sure we're better off today
with fireworks largely handled by professionals. Yet there was a thrill
never to be forgotten in seeing a tin can blown 30 feet in the air by a
giant "cracker" – giant meaning it was about 4 inches long.

But enough of nostalgia. Somewhere in our growing up we began to
be aware of the meaning of days and with that awareness came the
birth of patriotism. July Fourth is the birthday of our nation. I believed
as a boy, and believe even more today, that it is the birthday of the
greatest nation on earth.

There is a legend about the day of our nation's birth in the little hall in
Philadelphia, a day on which debate had raged for hours. The men
gathered there were honorable men hard-pressed by a king who
had flouted the very laws they were willing to obey. Even so, to sign
the Declaration of Independence was such an irretrievable act that
the walls resounded with the words "treason, the gallows, the
headsman's axe," and the issue remained in doubt.

The legend says that at that point a man rose and spoke. He is
described as not a young man, but one who had to summon all his
energy for an impassioned plea. He cited the grievances that had
brought them to this moment and finally, his voice falling, he said,
"They may turn every tree into a gallows, every hole into a grave, and
yet the words of that parchment can never die. To the mechanic in
the workshop, they will speak hope; to the slave in the mines,
freedom. Sign that parchment. Sign if the next moment the noose is
around your neck, for that parchment will be the textbook of freedom,
the Bible of the rights of man forever."

He fell back exhausted. The 56 delegates, swept up by his
eloquence, rushed forward and signed that document destined to be
as immortal as a work of man can be. When they turned to thank him
for his timely oratory, he was not to be found, nor could any be found
who knew who he was or how he had come in or gone out through
the locked and guarded doors.

Well, that is the legend. But we do know for certain that 56 men, a
little band so unique we have never seen their like since, had
pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. Some
gave their lives in the war that followed, most gave their fortunes,
and all preserved their sacred honor.

What manner of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and
jurists, 11 were merchants and tradesmen, and nine were farmers.
They were soft-spoken men of means and education; they were not
an unwashed rabble. They had achieved security but valued
freedom more. Their stories have not been told nearly enough.

John Hart was driven from the side of his desperately ill wife. For
more than a year he lived in the forest and in caves before he
returned to find his wife dead, his children vanished, his property
destroyed. He died of exhaustion and a broken heart.

Carter Braxton of Virginia lost all his ships, sold his home to pay his
debts, and died in rags. And so it was with Ellery, Clymer, Hall,
Walton, Gwinnett, Rutledge, Morris, Livingston and Middleton.

Nelson personally urged Washington to fire on his home and destroy
it when it became the headquarters for General Cornwallis. Nelson
died bankrupt.

But they sired a nation that grew from sea to shining sea. Five
million farms, quiet villages, cities that never sleep, 3 million square
miles of forest, field, mountain and desert, 227 million people with a
pedigree that includes the bloodlines of all the world.

In recent years, however, I've come to think of that day as more than
just the birthday of a nation.

It also commemorates the only true philosophical revolution in all
history.

Oh, there have been revolutions before and since ours. But those
revolutions simply exchanged one set of rules for another. Ours was
a revolution that changed the very concept of government.

Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for
the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given
rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed
by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily
granted to it by the people.

We sometimes forget that great truth, and we never should.

Happy Fourth of July.

Well, You're Not Surprised -- Are You?

C'mon! All Of A Sudden It's Now 'Offensive?'

Weird that no one had a problem with The Betsy Ross Flag when it flew over Obama’s inauguration. Now it’s not patriotic... ok got it. 🙄 #morons https://t.co/wkxDRZs6bM

Sweeney: Murphy Budget Moves 'Petty, Vindictive'

New Jersey State Senate President Steve Sweeney issued the following statement in response to Governor Murphy’s so-called budget freeze:

“The Governor’s action putting a so-called freeze on items cherry picked from the budget is a shameless act of political retribution that is both petty and vindictive – it’s Bridgegate on steroids that punishes those who disagree.

“This is an abuse of gubernatorial power that victimizes some of the neediest and most vulnerable people in New Jersey, including cancer patients, the hungry, senior citizens, college students and those struggling to overcome substance abuse problems.

“It is an irresponsible move that could have serious consequences by denying financial support to cancer programs, putting a medical school out of business, choking off the economic and educational growth of Stockton University in Atlantic City and refusing to provide timely aid to municipalities as they work to deliver vital services and hold down property taxes. This is an artificial freeze that is entirely about politics and nothing about finances.

“The Governor has the authority to put a hold on state spending but he also has the responsibility to act in the best interests of the state. He is not living up to that responsibility.

“We sent the Governor a fiscally responsible budget with a surplus of more than $1.3 billion. He signed it into law and officially certified the revenues. We are confident that our revenue estimates are as accurate now as they were last year when we were proven to be correct. We should be moving forward with a budget that strives to address the real-life needs of New Jersey’s nine million residents who live outside Trenton politics."

Testa: Donate Unused Sneakers To Homeless!

A day after he called for a national boycott of Nike for their decision to scrap a Betsy Ross Flag-themed sneaker after alleged pressure from Colin Kaepernick and a far-left, politically-correct culture run amok, NJ 1st Legislative District Senate candidate Mike Testa, Jr. called on Nike to donate the unused sneakers to the homeless, particularly homeless veterans.

“While apparently the corporate executives at Nike are ashamed of putting the Betsy Ross Flag on their shoes, I am sure that homeless Americans – particularly our homeless veterans – would be proud to wear them on their feet – let alone grateful,” said Testa, Jr., who is Past Chair of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland and Salem Counties. “Letting these perfectly good shoes go to waste would only compound this asinine and tone-deaf decision by Nike. Since they recalled the shoes already shipped to stores and likely have hundreds of thousands of them sitting in a warehouse somewhere, it makes perfect sense to give them to people who need them.”

Testa, Jr. called the Nike fiasco a disgrace and called on longstanding Nike consumers – like himself – to find another company to give their business to.

“I don’t know who the people are that are making these decisions, but the degree to which they are disconnected from regular people in places like Vineland, Millville, Ocean City, Lower Township and Middle Township is stunning,” said Testa, Jr. “Being a proud American should never be a partisan issue, no matter who sits in the White House. Shame on these far-left fanatics and shame on the Democratic Party for embracing them.”
