NJ will ban all gas cars by 2035
Eric Scott  — Published: November 21, 2023

*** begin quote ***

  • Gov. Phil Murphy presses ahead with gas-powered car ban
  • All new vehicles will have to be electric by 2035
  • Some regulations go into effect in just two years

*** and ***

Jim Appleton, president of the state Coalition of Automotive Retailers told New Jersey 101.5, “Governments can mandate and auto manufacturers can build, but none of these goals will be met if consumers don’t buy the vehicles.”

Will this cause a revolt?

One can only hope!

NEWJERSEY: Repeal the 17th Amendment; like alcohol prohibiition and the “war on some drugs” it was just a mistake

Is this really the best we can do?
November 16, 2023 Matt Rooney Election 2024 0

*** begin quote ***

Direct election of U.S. senators wasn’t always the case; it was viewed as a necessary reform. One infamous instance in the late 19th century involved our immediate neighbor to the south (Delaware) lacking representation in the U.S. Senate for two whole years owing to an epic impasse in its state legislature. Reformers believed, perhaps understandably, that the people would produce better results than the bosses and their hand-chosen state representatives.

The law of unintended consequences had other ideas. Cory Booker is no Daniel Webster, folks, as if you needed me to tell you!

*** and ***

A crook, an evil queen and an empty suit (who donated his suit to the Smithsonian).

Is this the best we can do? Really?

Even for New Jersey, notorious for making questionable electoral choices, this primary constitutes a new low. We’re slumming it and it shows in the results.

*** end quote ***

Time to get out the Constitutional Eraser and repeal a bunch of “amendments” the 16th, 17th, 25th, 26th, and 27th.

While we are at it, time to enact  term limits on ALL elective federal offices to ZERO consecutive terms in the same office.  And, let’s put some teeth in the 9th and 10th!

Argh!

NEWJERSEY: Something to remember on “election day” and when you hear election “results”

NJ election fraud: New charges brought against two Democrats over mail-in ballots, registrations 

“Mendez’s campaign allegedly collected ballots that were not sealed by voters and examined them at the campaign headquarters to see if they were cast for Mendez. Ballots that were not cast for Mendez were allegedly destroyed and replaced with a ballot for him. The replacement ballots were allegedly stolen from voters’ mailboxes.”

NEWJERSEY: Where are all these new EVs going to plug in and what will it cost?

Monday, November 6, 2023

Mega-Jolt: The Costs and Logistics of Plugging In EVs Are About to Become Supercharged
By John Murawski, RealClearInvestigations
October 24, 2023

*** begin quote ***

To curb greenhouse gas emissions, California, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, and other states have outlawed the sale of new gasoline cars starting in 2035, and similar EV mandates have been adopted by nearly 60 countries. The Biden administration is spending $7.5 billion on 500,000 EV charging ports as part of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to boost EV sales targets to 50% of all new vehicle purchases by 2030.

*** end quote ***

I expect that used cars are going to become the new “cars” in 2035.

We’ll probably begin to look like Cuba where cars ended in the 1950’s when the USA embargoed Castro.

Pity to poor and the renters, who won’t have access to a home charger.  And, pity the poor homeowner who needs to retrofit their electrical service.  That’s assuming that the local utility can provide such service.

BTW where is all this power generation capacity going to magically appear from.

In case you forgot, the extra taxes on gas pay for the roads.

DNF that EVs are hard on tires.

Argh!

NEWJERSEY: Change the rules after the game has been played? Sorry, NO!

Friday, August 18, 2023

Two years after Hurricane Ida, state tells survivors: Move — or pay to rebuild yourself

  • A sudden change in state policy was motivated by safety concerns, officials say

By: Dana DiFilippo – August 9, 2023 6:58 am

*** begin quote ***

State officials told Vaughn and other residents of Ida-ravaged blocks deemed “risk reduction areas” that their only option is to take a state buyout and move. Anyone who wants to elevate their home above flood levels, rebuild, and stay will have to do so on their own dime.

The sudden policy change, which impacts flood-prone areas of this blue-collar Somerset County borough where more than 500 homes sit, infuriated many residents, who have long implored state lawmakers to reduce delays and flaws in storm recovery relief programs.

“We should have the choice of buyout or elevation. We shouldn’t be forced into a buyout that might not even cover your mortgage. Because then what?” Vaughn said. “I’ll owe the bank money, I’m going to lose my house, and my credit is shot because of all this so I’ll have nowhere else to live. It doesn’t make any sense.”

*** end quote ***

This doesn’t sound “fair”.  Like when “flood insurance” only covers “primary residences”!  Surprise, surprise.

A buyout should cover the value of the house before the flood. 

What were the rules in effect when the flood occured?

If the Gooferment wants to play dirty, then “We, The Sheeple” need to “correct” the politicians and bureaucrats.

NEWJERSEY: Gas Cars Phased Out is an expample of Gooferment overreach

Monday, July 24, 2023

https://patch.com/new-jersey/southbrunswick/s/iqdq7/new-gas-cars-phased-out-in-nj-after-2035-under-murphys-proposed-plan?utm_source=nearby-news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alert

New Gas Cars Phased Out In NJ After 2035 Under Murphy’s Proposed Plan

  • Critics say the plan “will make new cars virtually unaffordable for working and middle-class consumers.”

Michelle Rotuno-Johnson, Patch Staff
Posted Wed, Jul 19, 2023 at 1:30 pm ET Updated Wed, Jul 19, 2023 at 2:00 pm ET

*** begin quote ***

“This heavy-handed government approach is likely to backfire, forcing manufacturers to send fewer vehicles to New Jersey, which will lead to consumers buying fewer new cars and holding on to their current ICE vehicles longer,” Appleton continued. 

*** end quote ***

This is absurd.  EV’s are costly and bigger polluters than any current car. CO2 is not a pollutant. And, climate change is phony “green” watermelon (green outside; red inside) to give the Gooferment more power.

Hope “We, The Sheeple” wake up and stop voting themselves and us into poverty!

NEWJERSEY: Did Murphy swear to protect and defend the Constituion?

Thursday, May 25, 2023

NJ Gov. Murphy: We’ll Defy SCOTUS ‘to Save Lives’ if They Rule Against Abortion Pill
Ian Hanchett  — 17 May 2023

*** begin quote ***

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) stated that prescribing abortion pill mifepristone in defiance of any Supreme Court ruling against the drug is “on the table,” and that such a ruling will “cost people’s lives, women in particular, sadly. And so, if that’s what’s at stake, we’ll do whatever it takes to save lives.”

Host Katy Tur asked, “Is there anything you can do as a Governor if mifepristone gets struck down by the Supreme Court?”

Murphy answered, “Oh my Lord. I listened to your reporters talk about some of the positions these judges in New Orleans are taking. We’ve gone to the CEOs of both Walgreens and CVS to make sure that we had unencumbered access. We have considered a bulk acquisition. We have clearly joined in legal action as an amicus matter. Everything is on the table, and please, God, it doesn’t come to that, but we will continue to fight it like heck.”

*** end quote ***

Hitler once asked: “How many division does the Pope have?”

SCOTUS has decided that abortion is NOT a Federal issue.  Does Murphy object to that decision too?

So the question asked but unanswered is: When does life begin?  The follow up question is: When does a human being get the rights that our civilization, society, State, community, or person guaranty?  

Is it at conception, when they have a heart beat, perhaps when they can survive outside the womb, or as one Libertarian suggested when they can fight and take them?

I don’t know.  But as in most moral questions, as a fat old white guy injineer, I’d draw the line where it appears to be most clear: either maybe at conception or definitely at birth.  All the other lines seem arbitrary.

That’s my opinion.  And I really don’t care what the politicians and bureaucrats think about it.

FWIW!

NEWJERSEY: Strike at Rutgers University sticks it to the Taxpayers

Monday, April 17, 2023

https://legalinsurrection.com/2023/04/strike-at-rutgers-university-ends-after-a-deal-is-reached/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=strike-at-rutgers-university-ends-after-a-deal-is-reached

Strike at Rutgers University Ends After a Deal is Reached

  • “The new deal will increase salaries for full-time faculty and New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund counselors by at least 14% by the summer of 2025”

Posted by Mike LaChance Sunday, April 16, 2023 at 11:30am 

*** begin quote ***

The new deal will increase salaries for full-time faculty and New Jersey Educational Opportunity Fund counselors by at least 14% by the summer of 2025, according to a statement from the university’s President, Jonathan Holloway. It will also increase the per-credit salary rate for part-time lecturers by 43.8% and the minimum salary for postdoctoral fellows and associates by 27.9%, both over a four-year contract, as well as enhance the wages of teaching and graduate assistants and provide them with multi-year university support, according to a statement from the university’s President, Jonathan Holloway.

“Most important, closure on this framework will allow our 67,000 students to resume their studies and pursue their academic degrees,” Holloway said. “Nothing we do is as important as living up to the expectations that our students and their families have of us to be fully supportive of them and nurturing of their academic ambitions and dreams.”

*** end quote ***

And where do all these per cents come from?

Argh!

I am for the Separation of Rutgers and the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee!

NEWJERSEY: Election problems in Mercer County

Wednesday, December 7, 2022

https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2022/12/01/why-the-voting-machines-failed-in-mercer-county/

Why the voting machines failed in Mercer County
Andrew Appel

*** begin quote ***

Conclusion. This was an embarrassing failure of our county election system. Voters were angry that the voting machines didn’t work, and had an uncomfortable feeling depositing the ballots in a slot where who-knows-what would happen to them. For over a decade I have been advocating for preprinted hand-marked paper ballots, counted by precinct-count optical scanners, so it was embarrassing for me too.  

But I still advocate for preprinted hand-marked ballots, because all of the alternatives are much, much worse: if a touchscreen ballot-marking device makes a mistake or is hacked, you might never know that the vote totals are wrong. With preprinted hand-marked paper ballots, even if there’s intentional computer hacking, those hand-marked paper ballots can be recounted. In Mercer County, the system worked. We had the paper ballots and we counted them, so we can be confident our results reflect the will of the voters. Even with these mistakes, this election was more secure and more trustworthy than previous elections that had no paper ballots.

Our election administrators have some work to do – and they know it – in improving communications with vendors, logic and accuracy testing, and chain of custody protocols. I feel confident that they’re on it.  

*** end quote ***

Couldn’t this all be avoided by uniform technology and processes state wide?

Or do the politicians and bureaucrats want it this way to cheat!

NEWJERSEY: Remember Corzine and the missing $1.6 bullion

“You’re An Absolute Fraud”: CME CEO Terry Duffy Recalls First Meeting Sam Bankman-Fried In March 2022
by Tyler Durden
Monday, Nov 21, 2022

*** begin quote ***

Penn professor and forensic accounting expert Francine McKenna summed it up perfectly when she commented on Twitter: “Duffy went to Congress and told them FTX was a bankrupt business model and he was ignored just like he was ignored when he said Corzine knew he had used customer funds and knew where the missing $1.6 bullion was.

*** end quote ***

So why do we need “regulators”, politicians, or bureaucrats who don’t listen.

Same as Made-off and all the other Ponzi operators.

What a circus!
