From NJBIZ:
DOGE cancels NJ leases totaling $2.76M in annual rents
As DOGE continues efforts to purportedly search for savings within the federal government, a number of commercial leases – including in New Jersey – are on the chopping block.
Nationwide, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency says it terminated 748 leases totaling 9.59 million square feet and representing approximately $468 million in savings. As of March 5, 14 of those cancellations affected New Jersey properties.
The sites range in size and location, from just over 1,000 square feet to upwards of 28,000 square feet and stretch from Atlantic to Essex counties. As of February 2025, the federal government leased 2.62 million square feet in New Jersey with annual rents totaling $83.12 million. Following the action from DOGE, the decrease in overall footprint amounts to nearly 4%, while the rent savings come in at just over 3%.
NJBIZ compared data from the DOGE website with the U.S. General Services Administration’s February 2025 lease inventory, the most recent available, to identify affected properties. Altogether the local lease agreements represent 100,821 square feet and a cumulative annual rent total of $2.76 million.
This is a pretty immaterial number spread across the state.

This is truly a case of FAFO. So this Khalil guy from the Columbia protests is actually Syrian born and raised and came to the USA on a student visa in 2022. He then married a US citizen a year later and was given a green card.
So they want to deport him back to Syria for “material support to a terrorist group”. How they heck did he get a green card and money to come here in the first place? It’s not like there is a US Embassy in war torn Syria, and there has been a full-blown civil war there since 2011. The latest bunch who sized power after Assad fled are full on ISIS now.
I would think Trump Admin is going to lose this one in Court in the short term. We cannot really airdrop this guy back into Syria he will probably get his head lopped off. The place is in the middle of craziness now thousands are being killed, sectarian killings by rival groups revenge against the Alawaites Assad’s people and others.
He’ll probably just commit suicide in custody…
Now in a trade war with EU and Australia.

Why do you think Trump wants to increase Guantanamo capacity from 2500 to 30,000?
This Khalil guy is perfect fodder – exactly what Trump needs, to distract us from his real agenda.
And the best/worst part of it all?
These palestine supporters did not vote for Kamala (those who could vote).
FAFO in multiple ways.
I have to commend the Jewish supporters on campus supporting this guy.

More like #whining with you guys — all day, every day. I know that Grim manages to squeeze in some productive activities as well, but I wonder if Rant, Unstable and LACKS have done anything other than whine since DJT was elected.
And yes, law-abiding taxpayers are winning; secure borders, freed hostages, arrested illegal alien felons, truce in Europe, corrupt and wasteful USAID shut down… No need to go on, you ‘Losers for Carmella’ already know the facts.

In Vegas RE, houses falling out of contract are now at 19%. Highest levels since 2017. Isn’t it great?
That house nearly across the street from us that went under contract a few months back is back on the market too.
Work is a doozy today, so you might get a respite from my terminal TDS for an afternoon. There’s always the evening, I suppose.
From CWS:
What’s the cause for the sudden jitters in the market? The top suspect appears to be President Trump’s trade policies, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say the uncertainty surrounding President’s Trump’s trade policies. Last month, the National Federation of Independent Business’ “Uncertainty Index” rose to its second-highest level since 1973. The percentage of small businesses who say now is a good time to expand posted its largest one-month drop since Covid.
More than once, the president has reversed himself or called for delays. I suspect that investors are growing frustrated with the ad hoc nature of these tariff polices. This morning, the president said he would double that tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum.
In addition to the uncertain policy risk, there’s also been some sluggish economic news. I want to be clear that it’s hardly bad news, but the economy may not be as strong as we believed.
The February Jobs Report Was OK But Not Great
On Friday, for example, we got the employment report from February, and it was decent but below expectations.
The government said that the U.S. economy created 151,000 net new jobs last month. Wall Street had been expecting an increase of 170,000 so that’s not a huge miss. The job gains figure for January was revised down to 125,000.
Back to the coal mine?
So formal on the way out. Yeesh. Don’t worry, you can come back.

LAX,
Trump‘s second term will either be a huge success or the biggest blunder ever. I don’t think there will be anything in between. I‘m no expert mind you, but some of the stuff going on does leave me scratching my head. We‘ll see how it goes.
4 years is not enough for this volume of change.
It will leave behind a lot of “tech debt” that we will be cleaning up for a very long time.
There is no “success” in it.
The senate vote on keeping the government shutdown running will be very telling Chad. Or at least, will Trump compromise, which he won’t.
If Trump’s name was Cess, there will be a lot of suck-cess
So this is why Eddie and others love NASCAR so much. Now it makes sense. Keep going to these events and hope this gets re-created.
Generally, we have limited opportunities to cover consensual acts of public urination here, because most acts of public urination involving cars tend to be of the uninvited kind. This time, though, there’s a genuinely impressive act of public urination coupled with a NASCAR angle, so that’s all I need to bring you the absolute best in urinary act news coverage.

Some of you probably know that public urination over here isn’t a problem. As long as you aren’t facing traffic while doing your thing it is permitted.

The City of SF got a new Mayor. Heir to the Levi Strauss fortune. Moderate democrat. I do believe that he will try and clean that town up! Daniel Lurie. Daniel Lawrence Lurie (born February 4, 1977) is an American politician and philanthropist who is the 46th and current mayor of San Francisco, serving since 2025. He was elected in 2024, having defeated incumbent mayor London Breed. He is the founder and former CEO of Tipping Point Community.

How ’bout that leftist loon that set himself on fire while trying to torch a Tesla charging station? Has anyone heard from Flab?
Question for the stooges: is torching a Tesla dealership/charging station a crime, or a mostly peaceful protest?
I think Tesla has dug their own grave. Regardless of the loons. I find it hilarious that Hannity bought a Plaid model. Those are super fast. Hope he doesn’t ..uh…hurt himself.
LAX me neither. Hence “Rent” L0rd not Landlord. Probably a bad choice on the name but it stuck.
I will tell you what is a crime: paying for prostitutes with campaign money and getting caught for rape. Not to mention tax evasion.
About a third of Tesla’s $35 billion in profits since 2014 has come from selling federal and state regulatory credits to other automakers…
Small, what should the sentences be for 1) a failed coup and 2) a successful coup?
Liquidationist policies have a poor record
Austerity left the eurozone worse off last decade
They’ve worked in Argentina, but Argentina had runaway inflation
In the U.S., tariffs—not an overheated economy—are the bigger near-term threat for inflation
-Nick Timiraos
VSG,
Is not just liquidationist policies. Is who is in the inside circle for the upcoming tax rebates for US based manufacturers. Corruption is going to surface really hard with DOJ kneecapped. So a PE manufacturer playing fast and loose in every aspect will get benefits that 3 guys making slippers will not get. Just remember the bank bailouts.
What I foresee is what happens in 3rd world countries. One of the donors to Sen.Menendez was the only company granted the import license in Egypt for a Halal beef by the Egyptian Government. In Ecuador only 1 company is allowed to import cooking oil which they as monopoly sell under different brands at high prices because there is no competition.
That is where you got to look for corruption residue as the new age of King Krasnodar OrangeTurd and his successor at least for now Prince Vance of Lord Tech.

The most recent event(s) that approach this are, of course, the lawfare conducted against a presidential candidate in 2024. I think that the state officials that illegally removed a candidate from the ballot, the DA’s that ginned up phony charges, and the judges that ran kangaroo courts, should all spend many, many years in prison.

Yeah. thought so.
Not surprising, but new – that we need to talk about, as we degenerate into a 3rd world country:
Any law agency that previously had anything to do with prosecuting or working against Trump – for any of his felonies, misdemeanors, etc., is BARRED from federal contracts.
This is literally dictatorship at work.
