What's the word?
Ask any Jersey-ite and they'll say "I don't know."
Gov. Phil Murphy has made uncertainty a sure thing in the old Garden State. Rules about the Chinese virus change like the stock market did when Murphy was at Goldman Sachs.
He left that job in 2002, and Goldman Sachs didn't have to be bailed out by the federal government until 2010, so maybe he was good at that job. Or maybe not.
Or as Finance Chair of the Democratic National Committee. Or m...

What we really need is for Spike Lee to make a movie in Hong Kong. And live there. Especially with the new national security laws from China that were just passed.
The laws are abusive. Trials held in secret. No jury. Judges answerable to Beijing. Life in prison for undefined crimes. And a bunch of other laws, which we would call, unconstitutional.
But not in China,
An opposition lawmaker in Hong Kong said the goal of the laws was to "stun Hong Kong into nothing...

I wish it came as a surprise that comrades Gov. Cuomo and Mayor deBlasio are both in favor of removing the statue of Teddy Roosevelt from outside the Museum of Natural History in NYC.
But it didn't. Seems Cuomo is as good at saving the history of our country, as he was at protecting "the most vulnerable among us," the elderly in nursing homes, during the pandemic.
You know how that turned out.
The bronze statue of Roosevelt has stood outside the Museum of Natura...

Children's programs used to be for children.
Not so long ago, Sesame Street used to have shows that told children about what the postman did, what the baker did, and told kiddies that the policeman was their friend.
Recently Nickelodeon featured eight minutes of heavy breathing to educate toddlers about George Floyd, and that he was killed by a policeman in Minneapolis. For eight minutes.
Most people know toddlers don't know where Minneapolis is, or what death i...

If you want to refresh your memory on why you love Donald Trump, take a gander at the 2016 Al Smith Banquet and Trump's speech which put candidate Hillary Clinton squarely on the hot seat.
Trump joked about calliing Hillary a "nasty woman" during their final debate in Las Vegas.
"But this stuff is all relative," he said. "After listening to Hillary rattle on, and on, and on, I don't think so badly of Rosie O'Donnell anymore."
"And even tonight," he said, "with a...

Being kind is never wrong. But some people act like they were raised by wolves.
After President Trump worked day and night for three months on the Wuhan Virus, and donated his salary for almost four years, the reporters who cover the White House have never had the decency to inquire about his well-being, and none thanked him for his hard work.
The good news is that history will remember this president in the most favorable light, while those who tried to take him dow...

While fear and civil unrest abound in our country, former presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris is busy pushing Senate Resolution 580.
It "condemns all forms of anti-Asian sentiment as related to COVID-19," including the phrase "Wuhan Virus," and urges all government officials to "take specified steps" to condemn what she calls racism, discrimination and religious intolerance.
In these days of much Wine and few Roses, we can only guess what those "specified steps"...

Get ready for a good laugh.
Obama's wing man, former Attorney General Eric Holder is back, accusing President Trump of "delegitimizing the parts of the government he thinks pose the greatest threat to him."
The FBI, DOJ the intelligence commnity! The parts of the government that actually did pose the greatest threat to Trump.
Holder is a partner in Covington and Burling, the law firm that did a rotten job of representing Gen. Michael Flynn.
I wonder why su...

It's a sad day when you discover you can't cut the mustard anymore.
But it happens. And it's happening to two Ladies of the Left.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is 80 years of age. Ruth Bader Ginsburg 87.
The Speaker might as well be retired for the amount of time she has spent in D.C. this year. A critical year. But, the truth of the matter is Pelosi is in that segment of the population most vulnerable to the Coronavirus, and she knows it. And she's staying ho...
