From the Star Ledger:
Chris Christie’s state is an economic cripple
Newly-released 2015 Census data only further confirms the depth of New Jersey’s economic funk.
The state’s recovery is really struggling, people. Compared to other states, including our neighbors, we’ve had some of the weakest improvements in wages, poverty, median household and per capita income.
We have finally seen some jobs added after a lost decade, but they tend to be lower-paying. Meanwhile, the number of New Jerseyans living in deep poverty has risen by the thousands.
Thanks to our high cost of living and low wages, we also have the largest share of young adults living with their parents in the nation. New Jersey was one of just 8 states that actually saw growth in income inequality.
In short, the magical thinking that Gov. Chris Christie has relied on to steer the economy is simply not working. Like many Republicans, he clings to the notion that lower taxes are the key to economic growth, despite all the hard evidence to the contrary.
Christie has imposed more than $2 billion in business tax cuts during his time in office, not including an additional $660 million annually that kicks in at the end of 2016, when they are fully phased in. He also repeatedly vetoed a modest increase of taxes on the richest among us, despite the fiscal crisis.
The truth is that investors look not just at taxes, but at the quality of the infrastructure, the skills of the workforce, and even the performance of public schools.
…
Meanwhile, our structural problems remain: Bridges and roads in dreadful shape, that we can’t afford to fix; overcrowded buses and trains with obscenely expensive fares, high costs on energy and health care, and a fiscal crisis that cripples state government.What would help? Both business and labor say the most pressing task is to rebuild the states crumbling infrastructure, where Christie’s failure has been dramatic. He promised a reliable funding source for transportation, then failed to produce it, throwing up his hands and blaming the Legislature.
No serious player disputes that we need a tax increase to cover these costs. The math is unforgiving. But Christie won’t agree to that unless a gas tax is paired to even larger tax cuts, despite the fiscal crisis. That rigid thinking is a triumph of ideology over evidence.
But this was never about the data. It’s about Christie’s national ambition. Our state’s recovery trails the rest of the nation because Christie won’t defy anti-tax dark lord Grover Norquist, and do what is best for this state.
Frist. I never read this before. Thanks, Lib.
I like to read this periodically. It should be required reading on every September 11th.

Explosives in Elizabeth?
Really sure these events are all unrelated? Leaving for EWR in a little bit, expect the airport to be near lockdown this morning.
How about the dumb luck of those two guys who took the bomb from a populated area, that would have had at a minimum property damage, underneath the granite trestle to a completely unpopulated area surrounded by nothing but stone and granite? No injuries, no damage, just a big boom.

BREAKING: NYPD: Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, of Elizabeth, NJ, “is being sought in connection with” the NYC bombing
Bin Laden’s “Al Qaeda” and ISIS are not the same.
Present at the Creation
The never-told-before story of the meeting that led to the creation of ISIS, as explained by an Islamic State insider.
BY HARALD DOORNBOS, JENAN MOUSSA
https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/08/16/present-at-the-creation/
https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/seeking-info/ahmad-khan-rahami/download.pdf
The FBI is asking for assistance in locating Ahmad Khan Rahami. Rahami is wanted for questioning in connection with an explosion that
occurred on September 17, 2016, at approximately 8:30 p.m. in the vicinity of 135 West 23rd Street, New York, New York.
Rahami is a 28-year-old United States citizen of Afghan descent born on January 23, 1988, in Afghanistan. His last known address was in
Elizabeth, New Jersey. He is about 5’ 6” tall and weighs approximately 200 pounds. Rahami has brown hair, brown eyes, and brown facial
hair.
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS
If you have any information concerning this case, please contact the FBI’s Toll-Free Tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), your local FBI
office, or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
I wonder if the bomb that went off in central park was his work too?
No…the government tells us it wasn’t…so it can’t be.

Dangerous incident in Central Park today. Fireworks are fun – but let’s leave them to the professionals. Stay safe.
I just received a Rutgers alert that they are investigating a suspicious package at Douglas Campus.
I just got the terrorist alert on my phone, does that mean Wanted Dead or Alive?
Hmm, so these “refugees” we’re importing wh0lesale due to the progressive left’s irresponsible ideology and thanks to the Democratic machine’s unquenchable thirst for more lower class votes is actually bringing terrorists to our shores and making us less safe?
If Trump goes on to win this will be the single biggest reason. It’s flat out asinine to conduct any kind of refugee settlement program with these terrorist factory countries.
looks like Putin’s running some operations to support his candidate
There’s no way to defend brining potential terrorists to this country en masse unless you have a defective brain or value political office over the country’s well being.
Putin is a convenient boogeyman and nothing more. You always need one when it power and TPTB don’t like the fact that he’s supporting Assad but I doubt any likely voters are losing sleep over the thought of a Russky launching an attack against them.
I love the fact that the suspects family owned:

By “terrorist factory countries” I assume you’re referring to the countries that invade other sovereign nations on trumped up evidence, destabilize their governments, and drone kill their civilians.
Also, the US is full of a$$holes with simple right wing minds who terrorize women, gays, blacks, etc. We just don’t call them terrorists. They’re not dark enough and they generally don’t target straight white men.

1999
“As it turned out, there was no need to cancel the elections, because the Russian people rallied around Putin and his vows to seek revenge against ethnic Chechens. Russian troops began invading Chechnya on October 1. His approval ratings soared: from 31 percent in mid-August to 78 percent in November. As Dunlop notes: “The continuing upward movement in Putin’s rating was accompanied by an increase in the hatred, which soon became incandescent, on the part of ethnic Russians for Chechens.”
“What, then, was the role of Putin, who was prime minister at the time, and also secretary of the Security Council? In his “self-portrait,” First Person, published in 2000, Putin denied categorically that the FSB was involved: “What?! Blowing up our own apartment buildings? You know, that is really…utter nonsense! It’s totally insane. No one in the Russian special services would be capable of such a crime against his own people.” But of course the FSB, as Dunlop demonstrates, was indeed capable of committing this terrible act. And it is inconceivable that it would have been done without the sanction of Putin.”

“The F.B.I. then sent in a pair of robots and determined that the backpack held five bombs, some of which were pipe bombs, the mayor said.
Around 12:30 a.m., the robots tried to clip a wire to disarm one bomb and accidentally detonated it, the mayor said.
“As a robot was trying to disarm one of the devices, it exploded,” he said. No injuries were reported.”
Terror Cell?
Here is an excerpt from the NYT:
Late Sunday night, two law enforcement officials said that investigators stopped a car on the Belt Parkway near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and took five people to an F.B.I. office in Manhattan for questioning in the bombing investigation. One of the officials said that all or most of them may have been from the same family and that they may have been on their way to the airport. The F.B.I. confirmed in a statement that agents and police detectives had stopped “a vehicle of interest in the investigation into Saturday’s bombing in Manhattan and that no one has been charged with any crime.”

Right wingers in the US terrorize gays? Doesn’t Chelsea have a large gay population? Did you forget Orlando? I don’t think it’s “right wingers” in the US that are targeting gays.
I’m pretty sure it’s Muslim terrorists enabled by their left wing buddies.

Seems he used a cell phone on one of the unexploded bombs which was quickly traced to his family’s cell plan. This guy is obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Gary,
Do you realize that whenever another law/regulation is passed or a new social trend comes along that you don’t like and complain about – someone can say this very same line to you too?
“Hey f.ucking d1ckhead, if you don’t like this country, f.ucking leave!”
I don’t think terrorism is a partisan issue. Though I would argue that one party is doing a much better job than the other capitalizing on it.
It’s all about the base, ’bout the base, ’bout the base, no trouble.
It’s possible to love your country and hate it’s government at the same time.
I think Gary loves his country but dislikes the government.
Otto on the other hand, loves government, but hates his country and the people in it.

Security is very much a partisan issue. Gun grabs, open borders, mass relocations from terrorists hotbeds, the contrast couldn’t be greater than these two candidates.
You think Ottoman judging by his posts loves this government? After ranting about invading other countries… who did the invasion the Boy Scouts ?
“Security is very much a partisan issue. Gun grabs, open borders, mass relocations from terrorists hotbeds, the contrast couldn’t be greater than these two candidates.”
Let me know the next time a Mexican builds a bomb, the first time a Syrian refugee commits a terrorist attack or any politician takes anyone’s guns away.
What a candidate promises and what the candidate does are two very different things. Just ask the (smo)King of Drones and the closer of Gitmo.

Three very recent attacks have been directly related to “refugee”(i.e. Democrat voter) programs. Two by Afghanis and one by a Somali.
The southern border is an open sieve for smuggling of every kind imaginable.
“The southern border is an open sieve for smuggling of every kind imaginable.”
Good luck closing it. And at what cost. If an illegal commits a serious crime in this country, deport them. Problem solved.

Immigrants commit less crimes than natural born citizens. Check the research. But it makes for a nice rallying cry. Wolverines!!!
Want to save this country? Do something about the lobbies. Until then, the income gap will continue to grow to the point where satiating the have-nots will be a much larger issue than climate change, terrorism and borders.
Turd,
You don’t need a fence except in a few expanded areas. Electronic surveillance would cover the rest.
And we aren’t talking about immigrants who follow(though the left love to conflate the two) immigration controls. It’s the open borders and mass relos that are the problem.
Don’t kid yourself that the refugee ghettos being planned won’t be infiltrated by radicals. We’re already seeing it and it will be our kids who will have to deal with it.
Yes don’t kid yourself, when you take poor uneducated people and dump them in America with no job skills and no ability to speak English they will be poor, that in and of itself breeds radicalism when coupled with Islam. Taking the refugees en mass is a bad idea, I’m open to some refugees but I prefer to admit the educated people who will be able to contribute to the economy and be successful in building a life in the western world, I’d give Kurds, Yazadis, Christians, and Jews who likely will suffer most at the hands of ISIS the priority in Asylum status. The solution for Syria is expelling ISIS, not relocating the entire populous to the US/Europe/Turkey.
“Don’t kid yourself that the refugee ghettos being planned won’t be infiltrated by radicals. We’re already seeing it and it will be our kids who will have to deal with it.”
I am having trouble coming to grips with completely closing the borders to immigrants from every country with any significant Muslim population. It reeks of the useless Japanese internment camps of WWII. I was raised Jewish, so that is the perspective I see the issue through. Many Jewish families sold everything they had to obtain exit and crossing tickets to emigrate from Eastern Europe to the supposed Land of the Free. Far too many filled ships were turned away only to have it’s manifest of stinking Jews returned to their certain death. Simultaneously, a number of somewhat less dangerous Jews were doing things for America such as developing the atomic bomb, healing polio and pretty much writing one third of all American patents. This fear of Jews is very similar to the fear of Muslims that has unfairly poisoned our culture today. In light of the recent local bombings, I’ve heard no less than two people today say, if all Muslim’s are not terrorists, why don’t they denounce these attacks. Sadly, I know of many who do. But in the face of our current society, their courage is waning. Much like the lack of courage of the non-Jews in all of Europe and America who would not stand up to Germany. Remember, the US did not enter WWII until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Only Germany’s alliance with Japan dragged us unwillingly into Normandy.
Want to end terrorism? Stop fearing it and bankrupting the country fighting it. If the sh1t gets real bad. Go Hiroshima and Nagasaki on Mecca. Until then…stop grouping those not responsible with those who are.
Too many non sequiturs and half truths to respond. I’ll just say that it’s the governments one and by far biggest responsibility to provide security and common defense to it’s own citizens and not some other countries down trodden. Let them get their own house in order and let’s fix our problems of which we have many.
Issue every man, woman and child an AR-15. It would solve all the worlds problems.

I’m in favor of more immigration, but I’m against the current system which seems to prioritize people who are essentially helpless beggars while making it extremely difficult for hard-working, self-supporting, skilled workers to get into the country. I think it’s because leftist politicians know that the former group will forever be dependent on government and will be voting for leftists for generations.

“I ordered the 72 Virgin Bucket Special but when I got home found that there were only 64 virgins in the bucket, 8 less than expected. When I took them back to complain I was told that due to an increase in suicide bombings over the past month there was a worldwide shortage of virgins and was offered a pair of nubile young goats instead. Took the goats home and it quickly became apparent that they weren’t even virgins.”

I decided I wanted authentic terrorist dinner and what better place than here? The “Beheading Salad” was a little dry and needed a little kick. So I tried the “Infidel Nachos” which were sprinkled with the blood of non-believers. Not really all that good but tasted great with a side of ISIS cola. For my entree I originally ordered the “Suicide Bomber Sandwich” but they were out of pressure cookers so I just had the “Straight Outta Kabul” hamburger with their signature “Murder Sauce”. It was ok. Left me feeling anxious and frightened. Oddly enough when we left the staff were all putting on vests with wires and timers. I thought it might have been a post dinner dance routine but decided to leave when they mentioned my head coming off.
I met some Christian missionaries who actively try to convert Muslims in Sierra Leone and other such places. The reason they go after Muslims is because the structure of their families and culture is that all you have to do is convert 1 guy and suddenly you 60 converts once you count up all his wives, children, grandchildren. I’m sure its a much easier sell to get that Imam in this country to vote democrat.

Ding. Isn’t it always. I do applaud Trump who continues to try to sell this to the section 8/WIC crowd. Then again, the last one who tried the same sale was Bill Cosby. Look where HE is now.
And if anyone wants to respond/refute my Jewish perspective offered earlier. Don’t worry about coming across anti-semetic. I won’t place the race card. I’ll leave that for the progressives. Words don’t hurt me. I’m not part of the soft generation. Though intentionally deceptive lies and ignorance do drive me crazy.
A home in our development just sold in a private sale to a different neighbor’s friend. I am waiting to see the tax record update, since it did not involve a realtor.
Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t interpret Trump’s plan this way. I think the problem centers around war, culture, wealth, and religious freedom. I doubt there are many radicalized Muslims working their way into Western countries by way of Kuwait or Singapore (both of which have observing Christian populations), for example. On the other hand, if your town in your all Muslim terrorist state was bombed back to the stone age and you are just looking for a cushier, plusher place to value Sharia law over US law, wish all Jews death, wish every other non-Jew death just a hair less…I think we have a problem. Now let’s turn to the refugee problems of the war-torn states. I kind of have a problem with just opening up floodgates to all refugees forever until…when? Until all the alpha-fcuktards have killed or enslaved everyone else and then demand UN recognition for their new caliphate? If there is some kind of end game like 1.)Let everyone out who isn’t into the kill or be killed daily lifestyle then 2.) Bomb the hell out of the bad guys that are left until they are all dead, well all right. That, at least is an end game. The status quo right now probably just expels the sheep while giving safe passage to as many wolves who care to blend in. I would rather see a safe zone that continues to expand into the affected country until the entire productive economy is inside the safe zone(s).
I am having trouble coming to grips with completely closing the borders to immigrants from every country with any significant Muslim population….
Speaking of Kuwait, on the right track I’d say. This is what’s going to fix the Middle East…eventually. Empowered women.

Turd,
My impression has been that a lot of the Jewish immigrants were educated, professional, hard-working. Some of them might have even been wealthy (or were before they had to leave their stuff behind. The sort of people I think immigration policy should favor. What would you say if a large portion of Jewish Immigrants went straight to Kiryas Joel or similar places to collect welfare, breed, and study religion (or a similar one, but with an extra encouragement to kill infidels)?

“Try sneaking into Canada or the U.K. without papers and see if they give you a drivers license and welfare.”
In the UK they actually do. With Canada, what border are they streaming over? UK gives you due process while they investigate your asylum claim and if you don’t get asylum you get deported. Why do you think there are refugee camps in Calais, north of France.
“while making it extremely difficult for hard-working, self-supporting, skilled workers to get into the country”
Afghani immigrants, arrive here and end up setting up a fast food place in Elizabeth.

Rory,
Deflecting again, I see. That dog still won’t hunt.
No one mentioned asylum except you. Most illegals here aren’t seeking asylum as they can’t prove it. There was a time when that dog might hunt and everyone not from Mexico argued persecution at home. Decent body of law built up on that, not that the Obama Admin feels bound by it.
Moreover, the really relevant question for asylum is this: What do they do with you when you don’t get it? Do munis in the UK issue you an ID, welfare checks and healthcare? Do they let you stay indefinitely in a sanctuary city?
As for Canada (and, I believe, the UK), it matters not whether people are streaming across their borders en masse or in small numbers. It matters how the government treats their status. In Canada, they won’t give you residency unless you can demonstrate that you can contribute–for example, there are residency categories for certain occupations and if you fill those niches, you pretty much get residency. I’ll let you speak for the UK, being a brit and all.
Finally, it was a rhetorical question: Name me a country other than the US that will let you in without special skills or other factors that show you won’t be a drain on government, will give you services, and will give you a path toward citizenship just because you got in and dropped a bambino.
Your serve.
Rory,
“and if you don’t get asylum you get deported. Why do you think there are refugee camps in Calais, north of France.”
