In trying to sell our “old” house, I have a few example of “spectacular stupidity”.
Evidently NOW to sell a house and get a Certificate of Occupancy, all the smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors — regardless of lifespan left — must be replaced with a non-removable battery.
WTH
My detectors were replaced when we bought the house 5 years ago because they were flakey and so were the carbon monoxide detectors because they were old and generating false alarms. No Gooferment involvement!
Argh!
There’s a few dollars (more than 1,000) down the rat hole. And, now there is a fee for the City Inspector come out and confirm.
My Realtors, Handyman, and Contractor were all surprised by this.
And it’s not like a rental. It was and will be owner occupied so there is NO motivation to cheap out.
Yet Another cash grab and expense incurred. Glad to be out of the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee. Hope the last person out shuts the lights off!

Catholic Nuns Battle in Court to Serve the Poor and Keep the Faith
Extremist judges and states infringe on faith and conscience.
John Klar
Aug 07, 2026
*** begin quote ***
The Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic charity that serves poor elderly citizens both in the United States and around the world, is battling in court to preserve the humble sisters’ rights of conscience against efforts of government coercion. Secular state governments, whose highest moral value appears to be ensuring as many babies are prevented or aborted as possible, seek to compel these feisty nuns to provide birth control (including the week-after pill) as part of their healthcare services. This attack on conscience is unconscionable.
*** and ***
For years, the secular US monolith that oppresses Christians while advancing Islam has waved off claims of anti-Christian bias with gaslighting dismissals. Yet the evidence is clear that the far-left, TDS-fueled crusade Americans are witnessing against these nuns marginalizes Catholics and is far out of balance with the clear meaning and purpose of the First Amendment. Pennsylvania and New Jersey are not just abridging the fundamental liberties of a noble group of devoted nuns. They are advancing a state secularist religion in violation of the Establishment Clause. When Obama and Biden agreed with Trump, but the far left is pushing an extremely toxic and blatantly unconstitutional anti-nun lawfare, clearly an important liberty Rubicon has been crossed.
That’s why the Little Sisters of the Poor will win their legal (and spiritual) battle in any US court that understands and upholds the US Constitution. This will likely be seen in the pending Third Circuit opinion in this case, and possibly (if either party appeals) in another trip to SCOTUS for clarification.
*** end quote ***
At what point does “We, The Sheeple” recognize that the Gooferment seeks to become the state secularist religion? Just as in a bee hive, there can be only one queen, — “There can be only one!” — Highlander (1986) — I firmly believe that the Gooferment suppressed the Catholic Church’s paedophilia scandal and bribed it with “illegal immigration benefits” to firmly put the Catholic Church, and all “churches” under its total dominion. I don’t understand why the Gooferment allows them to have “tax exempt non-profit” status other than another “chip” to use in suppression. As a matter of fact, I like Hillsdale College’s strategy to ignore all Gooferment diktats and golden lures to accept it as “god”. If I had a Church, — heaven forbid — like the Flying Spaghetti Monster in Keene — then I’d say to the Gooferment: “Keep your gold and your diktats, we are free and independent of your tyranny.” Like what they did to Ian Freeman and many many other libertarians, they would soon see us the one true threat to their complete domination of “We, The Sheeple”. And, make us an object lesson,
Argh!

New Jersey residents who rely on SNAP say their money’s been swiped
By Naomi Yané,

<< EDITOR ADDED DATE 2026-03-05>>
*** begin quote ***
And Wilson isn’t the only one whose card is being used without ever having lost the physical card. A News 12 viewer sent in a video of a line outside the Family Services building in Jersey City with people trying to figure out who was swiping their benefits.
News 12 reached out to the Hudson County Executive’s Office, which said they’ve seen a surge in scams targeting SNAP and Work First New Jersey benefit recipients.
“The Hudson County Law Department, via its Office of Consumer Affairs, will investigate these thefts and will be in contact with state law enforcement officials to provide monetary relief to victims,” a spokesperson for the office wrote in part.
However, a statement from the State Department of Human Services stated in part, “New Jersey is currently unable to use federal or state funds to restore SNAP or Work First New Jersey cash assistance benefits stolen on or after December 21, 2024, unless federal funding and spending authority is reinstated.”
Back in Essex County, Wilson, like many SNAP Benefit recipients, was told to lock her card when it’s not in use. As for her bare cupboards, she’s forced to stretch what’s already there until next month and she’ll likely have to hit a food pantry.
*** end quote ***
Seriously, and what does this person do until the politicians and bureaucrats get off their collective asses and fix it.
I doubt that’s what VISA, MaterCard, or WalMart would say.
Unless they have some reason to suspect fraud by the recipient (happened last month or more than once), they should IMMEDIATELY replace the card with emergency funds. Or dispense some traditional paper food stamps?
I wouldn’t accept that answer for any of my credit card companies. Would you?
Argh!
This is completely UNACCEPTABLE!
Argh!

NJ: Gun rights for me, but not for thee!
Written by Grant Clarkson Published: 02 August 2025
*** begin quote ***
Under this bill (A 5958) elected officials and their chiefs of staff would be allowed to carry handguns without a permit, possess rifles and shotguns without a Firearms Purchaser ID, and transport these firearms without fear of persecution, all of which are illegal for me as a law-abiding New Jersey resident!
*** end quote ***
As a gun-owning pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian, I don’t want you to create a “two tier” society where politicians have “rights” that “We, The Sheeple” don’t have. This is yet another step towards creating the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee.

Dear Mayor
It’s a shame no one asked about the impact of clear cutting the “island” at Paulus Blvd and Route 18. Today, the Public Works men show up and devastated the “island” of brush, trees, and anything green. So much for ecology and green spaces. Expect to see birds and deer displaced; maybe even more “accidents”. Spoke to the crew chief and hey said they had “orders from the mayor”. Argh!
Supposedly, a fatal accident occurred there which was blamed on limited visibility. We never heard or read about it. An internet search did not revel any accident.
Now let’s chat about the impact on my house.
- The traffic noise for 18, which was significantly muffled by the green space, is louder than ever.
- Drivers coming up the ramp to “make the light” or “get ahead of the 18 traffic” don’t even have to pretend to stop at the stop sign. Talk about an accident waiting to happen.
- The value of my property has be hurt but I can’t quantify the amount.
Now what happens next:
- Will the city put up a big ugly sound barrier?
- Raise the berm to cut down on the noise?
- Replant some hedges or trees?
If a neighbor did something like this, the various city agencies would ask for public comment. But the city does it with aout any “impact statements”.
My wife and I are very upset and we vote.

FROM 1440 https://join1440.com/
<< EDITOR ADDED DATE 2025-02-08>>
*** begin quote ***
Today, we’re sharing a story from reader Richard B. in Springfield, New Jersey.
“My daughter left her handbag with her phone and passport in the back of a taxi in Paris on the eve of a Sunday. Flight with her family was scheduled for 1 pm the next day. At 2:30 am, our phone rings in New Jersey with a 510 area code. When it rings a second time, my wife answered. A voice says, ‘Please don’t hang up as I have been trying to call someone for the last 6 hours. I work for Boeing in Seattle and my sister lives on the outskirts of Paris and has Felice U.’s pocket book. She doesn’t speak English but would like to return it. Her husband found it in the back of his cab.’”
“Our daughter contacted her concierge and arrangements were made for the brother-in-law to come to the hotel. This was accomplished by 10 am and they made the plane home in time. We still are not sure how the man in Seattle was able to trace us to NJ but his detective work and persistence in attempting to find someone is amazing. Upon their return, my daughter and her family found multiple calls from him on the home phone and my son-in-law’s cell phone documenting his persistent efforts. There are, indeed, good people in this world.”
*** end quote ***
I’d call what these folks did a “mitzvah”!
https://www.solonchabad.com/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/294114/jewish/A-mitzvah-is-not-just-a-good-deed.htm
*** begin quote ***
… … a mitzvah, even one he didn’t understand, is a connection n a way to get closer to G‑d that transcends logic. We affix a mezuzah to our doorposts, not just because it makes sense to us, but because this is G‑d’s wish. When we fulfill the request of G‑d, we are strengthening our bond with Him. Next time a mitzvah comes your way, make the connection!
*** end quote ***
More than just a “good deed”, these folks really made a “connection” with more people than they know or imagine.

*** begin quote ***
🚗 New Jersey may make it easier to complete in-person transactions at the MVC
🚗 The changes would impact REAL ID in New Jersey
🚗 Legislation would let you leave with your license, instead of waiting for it to be mailed
On the long list of frustrations many have with New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission, not leaving with what you went there is for is near the top.
If you make an in-person appointment for a REAL ID driver’s license, for example, you won’t be able to take it with you when you leave.
*** end quote ***
Personally, I see no need for “real id”. Why the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee is cooperating with the Federal Gooferment makes no sense. Maybe people will remember the infamous movie Nazi demand: “Your papers!”. Time to push back on intrusive Gooferment. Not like id is required to vote!

New Jersey Senate panel approves penalties for underage drinkers
By: Nikita Biryukov – December 8, 2023 7:05 am
*** begin quote ***
A Senate panel approved a bill Thursday that would create new penalties for underage alcohol possession over the complaints of advocates who said the shift would send more young people into the criminal justice system.
The bill, approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in a 9-2 vote, would subject individuals under the age of 21 found to possess alcohol to a $50 fine and a complaint summons, the equivalent of a disorderly persons offense.
Legislators who supported the bill said the change is needed to address parties in Jersey Shore towns that local officials have decried as chaotic and disruptive, and to provide some measure of enforcement for underage users who flout drinking laws.

Has anyone noticed how the drug laws are obeyed? Remember Prohibition? Wonder why the pot laws were changed?

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!

Feds force New Jersey to yank tongue-in-cheek highway safety messages
By David Meyer
November 17, 2022 2:50pm
*** begin quote ***
The highways are jammed with snarky road signs — and the feds don’t like it.
Killjoys at the Federal Highway Administration have reportedly ordered New Jersey officials to stop putting up cute and funny message boards with in-your-face safety warnings, such as: “Hold onto your butts — help prevent forest fires” and “Get your head out of your apps.”
The federal regulators came down with the ban on Wednesday, just about a month after New Jersey started putting the sassy missives up on programmable electronic signs around the Garden State’s many highways, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
*** end quote ***
Time for a “national divorce”.
Remind me again why we have a Federal Highway Administration in the first place.

It’s irresponsible to report “covid deaths” as a fact unless there is an autopsy. Based on the currently available reporting, the government facts as well as CDC / FDA data is at best “unreliable”.

New Jersey Rolls Include Duplicate, Centenarian, and Unborn Voters
Fred Lucas / @FredLucasWH / June 07, 2022
*** begin quote ***
New Jersey resident Patrick DePaola first registered to vote in June 1927. A 50-year employee as a printer for The New York Times, he died at age 105 more than a decade ago, in December 2010.
But DePaola, who lived in Bayonne, remains listed as an “active” voter and is among 2,398 registered voters in New Jersey who appear to be 105 or older.
That’s according to a new report by the election watchdog group Public Interest Legal Foundation, which notes that the average life expectancy in New Jersey is just under 81.
But ages in the Garden State get even more unusual, the report indicates.
*** end quote ***
And both of the established “parties” are just fine with it.
Argh!
Maybe if we eliminate “voting” then we could get an honest count.
I’d like smaller subdivisions electing a representative. Then that rep could cast the appropriate number of votes. All building up to the 21 county reps voting for state wide offices.
Not to hard to imagine. Just impossible to get the oligarchy out.

Baby Formula Shortage Prompts NJ State Of Emergency: Murphy
Those looking to make a profit by increasing baby formula prices will face severe penalties in New Jersey, officials said.
Nicole Rosenthal, Patch Staff
Posted Wed, May 18, 2022 at 8:40 am ET
*** begin quote ***
NEW JERSEY – Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency in New Jersey on Tuesday amid an ongoing shortage of baby formula due to inflation, supply chain issues and recalls in the state and around the country.
The declaration was signed in order to activate New Jersey price gouging laws consistent with efforts at the federal level, according to Murphy.
“We firmly believe that New Jersey is the best place in the nation to raise a family, and during this challenging time, we want to support our
families with all of the resources at our disposal,” Murphy said in a statement.
“To any retailer who may try to take advantage of vulnerable families during this shortage, let me be clear that this reprehensible action will not be tolerated. And to any New Jerseyan affected by this shortage, rest assured that my administration will do everything in our power to ensure families have access to the formula they need.”
*** end quote ***
Once again, this is just Gooferment stupidity. There’s no such thing as “price gouging”. Higher prices are the signals from the market that makes TWO things happen — conservation of a scarce resource and an incentive to entrepreneurs to provide resources or alternatives. Baby formula is no different that any other commodity. Argh!
Like the hotels taking in refugees from a natural disaster MUST raise their prices to encourage “conservation”. If the price is “too high”, then a family will squeeze into one room rather than spread out into two. Then this will leave that other room free for some other family. The market place “rations” scarce resources by higher priced.
Also, entrepreneurs may open a spare bedroom during an emergency to make a few bucks because of those high prices.
Argh!
Real economists like Walter Williams have made much stronger arguments than I ever can. But it’s clear that politicians and bureaucrats never studied any economics or enjoy posturing for the publicity.
Argh!

Musella’s press release truly makes it sound like Moran was some sort of international smuggler of silencers, instead of a guy who voluntarily alerted police to the suppressors that arrived on his doorstep.

Long-Awaited Route 27 Intersection Upgrade Gets Green Light from DOT
Davy James | Jun 22, 2012
*** begin quote ***
Route 27 and Beekman Road intersection to be widened, along with installation of a right-hand turn lane and a new traffic signal.
*** end quote ***
How about a series of synchronous lights from Henderson Road to Beekman Road say every 200 feet. When North South is red, they are all red. This would give the (imho very dangerous) “cross traffic” a chance to enter the roadway safely. The pedestrians might not have to play “you bet your life” to cross.
And if some one was really an “engineer” there would left turn arrows in advance of the green northbound and trailing the green south bound.
And, let’s get really wild and crazy, and expect all the Gooferment traffic planners to turn the durations longer during the midnight to 6am period and shorter during the other hours.
Then let’s do some tuning for special conditions accident on RT1 and everyone diverts to 27.
Yeah, I know, I’ve lost my head. Remember the Titanic was designed by experts and Noah was an amateur.
