4 in 10 millennials don’t know 6 million Jews were killed in Holocaust, study shows
*** begin quote ***
NEW YORK — More than one-fifth of millennials in the U.S. — 22 percent — haven’t heard of, or aren’t sure if they’ve heard of, the Holocaust, according to a study published Thursday, on Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day. The study, which was commissioned by The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany and conducted by Schoen Consulting, also found that 11 percent of U.S. adults overall haven’t heard of the Holocaust or aren’t sure if they did.

1. Babushka Lady

The ‘Babushka Lady’ is the nickname given to the unidentified woman who was present during the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The woman appeared in numerous films that captured the final moments of Kennedy’s life, she was seen standing, holding a camera to her face even though most of the surrounding witnesses had taken cover. The woman never came forward and despite multiple appeals and an extensive investigation by the FBI, her identity (and what she may know) remains a mystery to this day.

There are just way too many unanswered questions. “We” need to have a real “housecleaning” for all the facts of the JFK assassination. And before all the witness die and take their story to the grave!

Op-Ed: New Jersey’s Out-of-Network Bill is a huge blow to the middle-class

While the A-2039/S-485 bill is complex, in a nutshell it uses a heavy-handed arbitration model to line the pockets of insurance companies while drastically cutting reimbursements to the independent physicians who provide the bulk of emergency care in our state’s 72 emergency rooms. With far fewer specialists available in your local hospitals, it will make the overpriced benefits of all New Jerseyans worthless, as these doctors will not be available at all hours to cover emergencies such as strokes and traumas.

Can these politicians and bureaucrats screw up medical care any more? It’s not about “health”, “health care”, “health care insurance”, or something else anymore. It’s about control!

Maybe I’m an old curmudgeon but what lesson do the children get from this?
Like the “everyone gets a trophy”, it just sends the wrong message imho!
“Come home; all is forgiven!” should be “You promised; you knew the rules; you agreed to the rule; here is the consequences.”
Children are smart and observant. It tells them that they don’t have to keep their promises.

Leading Liberty – Libertarian Marketing Podcast Trailer … The first marketing and communications podcast ever created for pro-liberty professionals … She’s shown libertarians around the country exactly how to use Facebook to create targeted video advertising campaigns that reach users from both the left and the right.”.
And I heard about “Liberty Health Share”.

I was very impressed with Ms. Gray’s personal experience with her personal health insurance needs.
I immediately identified some folks who could use this option.
I’m putting it on my blog so perhaps it won’t be such a secret.

Why can’t we start with everything that everyone agrees on. (1) fixing the broken background check system; (2) ending the “target rich environments” aka “gun free zones”; (3) “gun violence restraining orders” that require court hearing; and (4) strict enforcement of “felon in possession” laws. No argument from the NRA; no argument from the “anti-gun” folks! Why don’t we? Because the politicians, bureaucrats, and “talking heads” would lose their “talking points”. See they don’t really want to solve the problem; they just want to have something to say. Argh!

OPINION
REVIEW & OUTLOOK
New Jersey’s Business Model
Phil Murphy wants to raise taxes to offer free tuition.
By The Editorial Board
April 6, 2018 6:32 p.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
Herewith the latest installment in our continuing coverage of the race to the bottom between two of America’s most progressive Democratic governors— Dannel Malloy of Connecticut and just-elected Phil Murphy of New Jersey. This week Mr. Murphy made his bid for the lead in his state’s downward cycle.
Governor Murphy has proposed that New Jersey provide what has come to be known as “free” community college. It is already “free” in New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Tennessee. Attached to Governor Murphy’s free-tuition commitment would be an outlay of $45 million in grants, which will come out of the state’s already stretched budget.
Governor Murphy argues that this “investment” makes sense because a larger pool of community-college graduates will attract entrepreneurs and start-ups to New Jersey. “Community college is a linchpin opportunity for us,” he says. Of course making New Jersey’s community colleges free depends on another linchpin: imposing higher taxes on other residents of the state to pay for it.
The budget that Governor Murphy’s submitted last month, a 4.2% spending increase, proposes raising the state’s highest individual tax rate to 10.75% from 8.97% on incomes above $1 million, restructuring business taxes to raise more revenue and raising the sales tax to 7%. That is essentially the governance model Governor Malloy has used since 2011, with famously unfortunate economic results for Connecticut.
New Jersey is already dead last in the Tax Foundation’s 2018 ranking of state overall business tax climates. It’s 50th in property taxes but only 48th in individual taxes. Perhaps Mr. Murphy can overtake New York and California to get to the bottom.

Well, all I can advise Taxpayers in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee is to get out.
If at all possible.
Those of us, who are stuck, here have stand, fight, and die on this proverbial “hill”. For whatever reason, we have no good choices left.
And, as the old Taxpayers dies out, who is going to replace them. Not the wealthy; not the young; not even anyone who has a choice.
Argh!
“…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” -Churchill, The Second World War, vol. 1, The Gathering Storm (London: Cassell, 1948, 272, on the British guarantee to Poland in Spring 1939.

What is Mark Zuckerberg hiding? Facebook secretly deletes some of its founder’s private messages over fears sensitive data may be leaked

Facebook has deleted some of Mark Zuckerberg’s private messages over fears sensitive data could be leaked.
Three sources claim old Facebook messages from Zuckerberg have disappeared from their inbox.
The recipients were not notified – raising concerns about what the Facebook CEO could be hiding.
Facebook claims the change was made after the 2014 Sony Pictures hack, when a mass data breach at the movie studio resulted in embarrassing email histories being leaked.
However, the lack of disclosure has angered some users, along with the absence of a similar tool to recall messages for normal users.

Very interesting?
Of course, his upcoming Congressional testimony could NOT have anything to do with this “discovery”.
Yeah right.
Guess old Zuck forgot the second rule of legal tactics: “Say it, forget it; Write it, regret it.”
That’s just after: “Say nothing; admit nothing; and strenuously deny everything.” a la Bill Clinton.
Argh!
Now everyone will learn that there is nothing so “free” as a “free” service.
Argh!
Remarkable comparison to HRC’s emails?

After the FBI’s Pulse Nightclub Failure, Why Should We Trust James Comey Anymore?
By James Bovard USA Today April 5, 2018
*** begin quote ***
Federal prosecutors flourished the FBI memo of Salman’s confession as the ultimate proof of her perfidy. But the memo contained false statements and contradictions which even the government could not sweep away. After the trial ended, the jury foreman (who wished to remain anonymous) notified the Orlando Sentinel: “I wish that the FBI had recorded their interviews with Ms. Salman as there were several significant inconsistencies with the written summaries of her statements.”
*** end quote ***
Require all FBI “interviews” to be video recorded … …
… … because “we” can no longer trust them — if “we” every could.

Trump Should Withdraw US Forces from Syria, But He Won’t
Daniel Larison Posted onApril 4, 2018
*** begin quote ***
If Trump did withdraw US forces from Syria, it would be the only good foreign policy decision he has made thus far. The US military presence is illegal. It has no authorization from Congress, no international mandate, and our forces are in the country over the explicit objections of the recognized government. The US military presence is not needed to protect US security interests, which are not threatened by the prospect that the Syrian government might reclaim control over its own territory. No vital American interests are at stake in Syria, and therefore no American lives should be put at risk there. Staying indefinitely in Syria an attempt to oppose Iranian influence in the territory of Iran’s own ally is not only a waste of time, manpower, and resources in a dubious cause, but it is also runs roughshod over international law and the Constitution.

Get PDF first
Owner manuals and installation guides contain far more information about a product than either the sales brochure, the online descriptions, or even Amazon reviews. The manual will have exact dimensions, all the parts, and caveats about what it can’t do. So my rule of thumb these days is to always download the product’s manual before I purchase the item. Impossible in the old pre-internet days, it’s a no-brainer today. It has saved me many times. Regrettably, not 100% of product have manuals PDFs that are findable, but the better products do. — KK

Despite the fact this giant unionized “jobs-and-day-care” program for the otherwise largely unemployable now costs a hundred times more per student than the schools of a century ago (which turned non-English-speaking immigrant kids into the physicists who built the atomic bomb), they certainly aren’t producing many graduates today who can count change, do long division, find Paris on a map, speak a foreign Language, or explain if their lives depended on it the difference between “there,” “their,” and “they’re.”

So consider this: if you still prefer the resolution model of self-improvement, in which you adhere to specific challenges that begin on a specific date, don’t start those resolutions in January. Start them on April 1st instead.
