This is sad. Such a waste of life. I don't blame the dad for shooting, but what was this kid thinking? In my state the Dad would be charged with a serious crime. If the kid died, the charge would be murder, even though we have the Castle Doctrine. In NJ, there needs to be an imminent threat...

I would be cautious about believing this was the woman burned to death on the subway. I am reading this is not her.

Bingo! Now that all the Democrats who kept the coverup going for 4 years are talking, we know that they were covering for Biden as early as April of 2021! Biden was already suffering from dementia when he was elected. Some of us point out Biden's decline during teh campaign but Democrats and...

When you look at the 4 years Jimmy Carter was president and all the problems he caused it is impossible not to see he was the worst president in American history and it was not close. Under Carter: - Cuba released many of their prisoners and mental patients and put them on small boats bound...

The thing is, lots of government employees get pensions like that. It is not just for congress. Very few private companies offer pensions plans now-a-days. Almost all private sector workers are given 401k plans that depend on investment growth to accumulate wealth for retirement. If congress...

Yes, their pension benefits vest in 5 years. They get something like 1.7% of their highest salary for each year in office. After 20 years they can collect their pensions at age 50. After 25 years they can collect at any age. A congress person who serves 3 terms or 6 years is entitled to a...

It has been reported for a long time that Trump wants to eliminate the debt ceiling, and I understand his logic. But my issue is there must be a limit to how much we can borrow. Someone needs to make an argument for what that limit is so we can vote on it and prepare to defend that line. The...

Is that why they voted against it? Or was it because the compromise bill included raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion without any reciprocal spending cuts? I am with Chip Roy on this. Why is borrowing money bad when we have a Dem president, but acceptable when Trump is president? Debt is...

I read something recently where someone was defending the raise claiming congress members do not make that much money compared to middle level managers in private sector companies. To accept the argument at all you would have to believe that 435 congress people are equal or or more important...

This is the result of the constant victimhood that has taken over our society. Everyone is a victim, or wants to be because victimhood gets attention. The problem is some victims decide to strike back. Of course it is mental illness, but what does it matter? People are dead. It is time we...

The days get shorter because of science not because we set the clock back. We are talking about an hour of sunlight difference. Not a big deal either way, but it would be good not to have to go through the ritual twice a year.

I went to college across the river in Hoboken. We took the path to the city all the time. I remember 42nd street very well. There was an arcade on Broadway about a block for 42nd street. Spent many quarters in that dump.

I live in Northern NJ and I have yet to see a drone flying over my area. Of course I am not outside looking for them all day but I do walk my dogs 3 times a day so I am probably out more than most people this time of year. I have seen the occasional helicopter and private small plane but no...

I recommend that half of us stop breathing to solve the problem. I think Democrats who are especially worried about Global Warming should go first.

Not sure how old all of you are but I am old enough to have lived through the 1970 high crime era in NYC. During the late 1970s, early 1980s crime was out of control in NYC. So was inflation but that's another story. One year there were more than 3000 murders in NY. I cannot explain to you...

This was such an awful case, and several men had their lives ruined over what was clearly from the beginning a false accusation. Remember, these men were kicked out of school over this incident. I believe the fraternity was shut down as well. The did sue Duke University and they did receive a...

This just gives Trump more reason to pardon all of them. The J6 committee was a sham, and all of these prosecutions were a combination of overcharging, over-sentencing, and political targeting.

I always try to be objective, or at least back me opinions with facts or logic of some kind. It bothers me when people on the right post clearly false information, or use memes to suggest blatantly false stories because the makes us the same as the left, who lie constantly. I feel we have the...

It could be a Brady violation. The prosecution is required to turn over all exculpatory evidence to the defense. Having 26 agents in the crowd that day is not necessarily exculpatory, but combined with videos showing what those agents did could be. But it is also a problem for the prosecution...

I have an alternate take on this. First, I think Wray is as dumb as AOC. It's not that he wasn't involved in all the partisanship in the FBI, but I don't think he is the main problem. The problem is the lext two levels of management below him. It all needs to be cleaned out and replaced with...
