From nj.com:
Layoffs in N.J. double. More than 3,600 jobs are gone this year.
New Jersey saw twice as many layoffs in the first quarter of 2025 than it did last year, even before tariff fears, according to federal labor statistics.
There were 28 businesses in the state that announced layoffs of a combined 3,618 workers in the first quarter of this year. The layoffs were more than double the 1,753 layoffs announced by 118 companies during the same period in 2024, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The surge in layoffs comes amidst concerns over the impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on the nation’s product imports and the governor’s race in New Jersey.

According to federal data, the level of people quitting has leveled off after it peaked during the so-called Great Resignation, when many quit work and found better employment opportunities immediately after the pandemic.
The level of job openings has also softened, federal data shows, after a spring 2022 peak.

It is ridiculous the amount of money it takes to run for any office in the US. Maybe there should be a spending cap for election campaigns. Not sure what the solution is but special interest groups can raise a lot of cash for what might not be the best candidate.

10% drop in in bound flight tourists in March. Predictions by Holdman Sachs puts it at $90Billion loss.
Grim, on your way back from Greece bring some rare earths in your pocket.
The teachers are only funding it in a sense. When you become a teacher, a union rep gives you paperwork for dues. They also ask you to check off a box that donates $5 (it could be more at this point, I’m not sure) a month to the NJPAC from their paycheck. All of the $22 year olds are basically too timid to not check it. Once they do that, it’s a siphon of $50 per year off their paychecks. Multiply that by the number of staff in each district and the number of districts, that adds up to a pretty significant war chest. A lot of people, a few years down the road start wondering what the hell this crap is but they are too lazy or scared to go to the union to get it removed from their paycheck.
That being said….I’ve yet to see a positive piece of legislation ever come out of Trenton that actually was beneficial to teachers monetarily or even work wise. Plenty of stuff that screws them though.
Screw rare earths, bring back some bougatsa.
Rare Earth… when Motown meets rock. I think I may be older than most here. Plus, I was the youngest of my brothers so my oldest brother was playing this stuff on a turntable all the time. I wish bands still jammed like this.

9:02,
The teachers I know are more than happy to pay union dues. They understand that the unions will back them when administration fails them. It’s a huge thing. They also know this is what differentiates them from the higher paying jobs in private sector. Stop pouting your biased opinions as facts.
By the way, one of the teachers at Rutgers – who got in because of cronyism and does not even have a Ph.D, got selected as the teacher of the year award by his students. The guy is an absolute dud. Students love him because he gives easy grades. He even had all his material handed out by previous instructors.

You are talking union dues and which are different than PAC donations.
“This is an invasion of posts from abroad. We don’t care if it is manufactured abroad. You are stealing good feeling posts from Amerika”
Chump change union dues gives you a pension that, unlike a 401k that a crazy Orangefaced cheetoh can wipe out in a week, is nice sweet guaranteed flow of cash into your pockets. Even when you move far away from the overtaxed schleps that remain in the district where you taught, and now have to have a tax increase to make sure your money flows in nicely while theirs fades into the night.
Pensions, tenure.
Even Trump can’t take that money from you.
But the state and towns will take it from every taxpayer to fund the nightmare.
Russian warplanes were detected flying off the coast of Alaska and tracked by the U.S. military, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said Tuesday. The Russian aircraft never entered American or Canadian sovereign airspace, NORAD said, adding that the planes were “not seen as a threat.”
U.S. officials did not identify the type of Russian aircraft that were spotted nor the number of planes.

Nobody cares about your Rutgers colleague. By my 3rd year teaching, I took over AP Physics and delivered the highest AP scores the district had ever seen in year 1 with a 100% passing rate and 70% 5’s for 100 students. I know you really want me to suck at my job…but your going to have to find another way to attack me.

It showed millions upon millions of donations to “non profits” and which which has every major NJEA admin sitting on their boards. It’s a money laundering operation.

If Spiller gets elected to governor, I predict exactly zero gains/benefits given to the teachers of the state.

Chi,
it’s a failure to distinguish between the leadership and the rank & file. Part of the reason we saw major shifts in the action of unions like the teamsters last go round. The union leader said he was offended how Harris and the DNC treated them as if they had no choice.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PqVueHESHRM
Your anti-unionism is known and accepted as nonsense here. Nearly every gain workers have enjoyed over the past 100 years is due to unionism.
I’m not anti-union, I’m a member of a union who wishes they would do more. You’ve yet to point me to a single piece of legislation, state or federal that has benefitted teachers. I’d like to see that as evidence.
In the meantime, I’ve been through 5 teaching contracts. Our “cost of living” adjustment has always been below the reported rate of inflation, which makes it worse since the rate of inflation is likely underestimated. Teachers aren’t gaining anything, they are getting wiped out. Stop clinging to victories in the 1950s. It’s akin to a yankee fan bragging about how good our team is because of the awesome year Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris had.
I can however point to you legislation that has cost me and my colleagues and additional $10k a year in healthcare dues. It was hand crafted by the late Sheila Oliver (the union approved candidate) along with Chris Christie.
Let’s be honest teaching, especially in some places and grade levels is miserable. It’s “why” you see massive turnover in the field and zero respect for those who choose the career. The upside is limited and the benefits dwindling. I teach just a few classes a day which makes it tolerable. The first time in my career I took part time work, but the money was decent and the hours unbeatable. No, I wouldn’t recommend teaching to anyone interested in making “serious” money. The money is average and consistent after a certain point and the pensions can be generous. At best, teaching is a pain in the ass and a half-way decent second income “if” one earner is killing it. No, I would not advise ANYONE to go into the field of education.
When you see the range of salaries and the upside of stock options, you realize that education is a fool’s game. It worked for us in some ways, but was often a mental strain. If you think that working with children is “rewarding” I urge you to spend a year teaching.
Parents in general on my end have been very supportive aside from a few crazies. But as a general rule, everyone badmouths the teachers…even the libs.
I think the story that needs to come out around Spiller is how corrupt he was and Montclair. Though he was making nearly 400,000 a year heading the teachers union, he was also playing Mayor in Montclair first, what does this say about his job at the union? I suppose 370 K is a part-time salary then as mayor of Montclair, he took a stipend in lieu of healthcare which he had to be a full-time employee to qualify for. When the court case came up, he pleaded the he pleaded the fifth and the deposition against the town CFO. If this is who the union wants to continue to waste all their money on, then perhaps the teachers really are as stupid as a lot of us think they are. BRT absolutely has it right.
Blame Siri for all of Those errors. This is what they call Apple Intelligence.
I have enjoyed a lot of the perks of teaching. I loved spending summers off with my kiddo and having lots of holidays. When I am 60 I will collect a modest pension. A lot of my co-workers were great people.
Leadership was always hit or miss and in NJ the roles of Supervisor is insanely useless and rather high paying. Other than that it has been an interesting experience. Since I came to CA I have worked in Charters and Public Schools. Charters absolutely suck. Currently in an excellent public district and it is a pleasure. Still lot’s of nitwits. Since I am not a “tested” area, I don’t have too much contact with parents. My class is supposed to be a fun extra for those who like it. But I have helped some kids gain entry into some really well-regarded design schools.

I was surprised to hear Bill Maher say that in person he actually laughs. Does that mean his public persona is all a front? So he can pretty much say whatever without really feeling anything from within – which maybe why psychologists have a difficult time unwrapping his motives.
In other news, I heard ine financial expert – in a podcast, say that we can expect the S&P to be negative for the short term and bounce around near zero for a very ling time because of how this one guy has laid bare America’s multiple weaknesses.

‘The US is not getting ripped off by anybody,’ an editorial in state-run media outlet China Daily read last night. ‘The problem is the US has been living beyond its means for decades.
‘It consumes more than it produces. It has outsourced its manufacturing and borrowed money in order to have a higher standard of living than it’s entitled to based on its productivity.
‘Rather than being “cheated”, the US has been taking a free ride on the globalization train.’
The article concludes: ‘The US should stop whining about itself being a victim in global trade and put an end to its capricious and destructive behavior.
‘Instead, it should commit itself to working with its trading partners to establish a fair, free and WTO-centered multilateral trading system that is in line with the times.’
Under pressure from the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, nearly all the staff of the Defense Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development arm — are resigning over the coming month, according to the director and three other current members of the office granted anonymity to discuss their job status freely, as well as internal emails.
The resignations will effectively shut down the decade-old program after the end of April.
The Defense Digital Service was created in 2015 to help the Pentagon adopt fast tech fixes during national security crises and push Silicon Valley-style innovation inside the Pentagon. It built rapid response tools for the military during the Afghanistan withdrawal, databases to transfer Ukrainian military and humanitarian aid, drone detection technologies and more.
Without the program, some key efforts to streamline the DOD’s tech talent pipeline and counter adversarial drones will be sunset, one soon-to-be former employee said.
Once dubbed the Pentagon’s “SWAT team of nerds,” DDS was one of the department’s earliest efforts to inject Silicon Valley ethos into its massive bureaucracy.
Jennifer Hay, director of the 14-person office, plans to leave by May 1. Eleven other employees plan to take President Donald Trump’s deferred resignation package by then. The two remaining staffers are also leaving.
A Pentagon spokesperson did not comment on the resignations but said the office’s functions would be absorbed by the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office, of which the DDS is a part.
Hay said her staff initially expected to be part of Musk’s efforts to automate the Pentagon’s operations and adopt AI.
“The reason we stuck it out as long as we have is that we thought we were going to be called in,” said Hay.
Instead, according to interviews, they were sidelined by DOGE’s efforts.
Several other digital modernization efforts within the government have met similar fates. The U.S. Digital Service, which helped the government modernize its technology and attract tech talent, has now been subsumed by DOGE, amid mass layoffs and firings. A program called 18F, a technology unit within the GSA, was eliminated by DOGE as well.
The DDS had struggled in recent years to stay at full strength, buffeted by what employees said was political infighting, hiring freezes, travel restrictions and an increasing number of bureaucratic layers. A watchdog audit released in May 2024 also found that former DDS directors had granted unauthorized waivers for certain tech tools. But every employee interviewed said they wouldn’t have left if it wasn’t for DOGE.
One former senior Pentagon official, who asked not to be named because of possible retaliation, described DOGE’s wider incursion into the Defense Department as damaging and unproductive
“They’re not really using AI, they’re not really driving efficiency. What they’re doing is smashing everything,” the former official said.
At the DDS, “The best way to put it, I think, is either we die quickly or we die slowly,” Hay said.
Bye Bye. Ol’ Lennie’s firm ( he’s ded like a doorknob) is raking in the cash.
Prospect was founded in 1996 by a group of physicians in California. In 2010, private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners (LGP) acquired a 61.3% stake in Prospect in a $363 million leveraged buyout.[3]
Amid the hospital system’s fiscal troubles, Leonard Green attempted twice to sell the company in 2015 and 2018, but failed due to the company’s poor financials. Prospect then initiated a $1.31 billion dividend recapitalization, which allowed it to refinance its debt and landed Leonard Green $658.4 million in dividends and management fees.[3]
In 2019, Prospect sold its California, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania hospital real estate to Medical Properties Trust (MPT), a healthcare real estate investment trust, for $1.386 billion in order to pay off debt. However, this sale-leaseback transaction stuck Prospect’s hospitals with triple-net leases, requiring that the hospitals pay rent, property taxes, and maintenance on the properties.
Ridiculous. Pot calling the kettle black. Pure CCP propaganda.

NorX,
Teachers are in a prime position to do great good or great evil for humanity. Some of the people I admire the most were teachers. Aristotle was a teacher, helping teach logic to humanity. My fourth grade teacher who supported my love of reading and agitated to get me into the regional gifted program, was a great teacher. Ayn Rand never held the job of teacher, but did so through her books. On the other hand, I had a college teacher who was my finance department advisor who told me I should quit finance because I would be “crucified” in the real world of business. I didn’t talk with him again. And Phoenix keeps a list of the child molesting teachers. The mild offenders probably get to keep their jobs and pensions thanks to their Union that protects the incompetent and bad from the savages of the marketplace. But at the bottom rung of hell are the educators whose motive is to destroy the minds of their wards, inflicting their own irrationality on vulnerable children.
“The academia-jet set coalition is attempting to tame the American character by the deliberate breeding of helplessness and resignation—in those incubators of lethargy known as “Progressive” schools, which are dedicated to the task of crippling a child’s mind by arresting his cognitive development. (See “The Comprachicos” in my book The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution.) It appears, however, that the “progressive” rich will be the first victims of their own social theories: it is the children of the well-to-do who emerge from expensive nursery schools and colleges as hippies, and destroy the remnants of their paralyzed brains by means of drugs.”
Books: I read The Liberal Mind by Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter a few years ago. It was an interesting read into psychopathology describing liberalism’s irrationality and disorders of the psyche. The political arena seems to be the most suitable platform to transfer their neurosis’ because it offers the biggest audience to display their rage.
Phoenix, IP theft, counterfeiting, and subsidizing their exports to destroy domestic industries…all happening. Our policy has been dumb for 20 years.
What I’m trying to figure out is what explains so many Republicans’ willingness to make excuses for a man whose behavior so clearly conflicts with what they claim are their ethical values. Sort of like, “well, this devil says he’s fighting for us, so his wickedness is for a good cause, and we must support him no matter how offensive, contradictory, arbitrary he is” Yet in the end it’s not even necessarily for a good cause – he throws in a lot of bad goals.
Musk’s text message pick up line for a girl he never met in person (Tiffany Fong) was “want to have my child?”
After she declined, her $21,000 monthly payouts on X also declined a lot.
As they say about putting in golf, “never up, never in.”

President Trump on Wednesday ripped Harvard University for hiring “Leftist dopes” Bill de Blasio and Lori Lightfoot as lecturers — arguing that the Ivy League school’s employment record is proof that it’s a “joke” and should be stripped of federal funds.
The commander-in-chief blasted Harvard’s decision to employ the former mayors of New York City and Chicago in the wake of their local government stints, insisting they would only be capable of “teaching failure.”
“Everyone knows that Harvard has ‘lost its way’,” Trump raged in a fiery Truth Social post early Wednesday.

A whistleblower’s attorney made shocking allegations regarding a DOGE security breach at the National Labor Relations Board during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday afternoon.
Earlier on Tuesday, news broke that a relatively new NLRB staffer claimed that DOGE not only accessed data from his agency but also took a substantial amount of sensitive data with them, according to a disclosure shared with Congress that read, “around ten gigabytes of data are, quote, the equivalent of a full stack of encyclopedias worth if someone printed these files as hard copy documents.”
Daniel Bertulis appeared on The Lead, joined by his attorney Andrew Bakaj, and explained the details of how he apparently uncovered a massive amount of missing data from the NLRB following DOGE’s efforts. He ostensibly mocked a White House statement touting the transparency at play, noting that none of the code used by DOGE technicians has been shared publicly.
But the most shocking allegations came from Bakaj, who not only claimed that accounts based in Russia were using newly created DOGE usernames and passwords to access sensitive data, but also directly tied the effort to Elon Musk and his Starlink concerns, which has a relationship with the Kremlin.
Boomer: It’s absolutely common sense, and yes, safety of women too. How anyone can disagree with that is beyond me.
3b, do you have evidence to suggest that trans women prey on women anymore than women prey on women? My guess would be there’s not a correlation.
Rent: You are what is so scary about the radical left, anyone that disagrees with a particular issue that the left believes in, is automatically suspect, followed by bigot, racist misogynist or whatever. Then as in the case of trans women, it’s well you must he sexually uncomfortable, or dated a guy. Oh yes, just shut down the conversation, as it must be a sexual issue with me or anyone else that does not follow the leftist ideology on trans women. You go out of your way on this blog to shout just how liberal you are, I personally think you are a big blowhard. As for the sex and uncomfortable issue, perhaps the issue is with yourself, as you seem to always bring it up. As for Dark Phoenix, I won’t criticize him, as I believe he is a deeply unhappy troubled soul.
Boomer: No, I do not. But, there have been instances in women’s prisons where women have been attacked by trans women. My point has more to do with trans women playing in women’s college sports and those biological women who can be hurt. Not to mention the simple unfairness of it. Of course, that’s just ignored. As I said it’s ironic that women have had to struggle for women’s rights, only to have predominantly white men who believe they are women try and take those rights away.
Men are more aggressive…….

3b, do you have evidence to suggest that trans women prey on women anymore than women prey on women? My guess would be there’s not a correlation.

Great to see you leftwing. At some point, I’d be curious the people you know that I taught.
How much U wanna bet she won’t do one second in prison?

Harvard has seemed to hire every politician was supposed to be exiled by society for destroying their city/country as sort of a thank you. How soon everyone forgets, the previous president of Harvard was a buffoon who copy and pasted her way to the position and then when caught red handed, tried to pretend there was nothing wrong with it, and still sits at the college today collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
My kid is living with me now because her mother punched her. Woman vs daugher.
Safety of women my ass.
Some of those creatures are downright dangerous.

Oopsy. For the nitpicking spelling douche.
leftwing…..wammmp waaaaaamp you voted for an imbecile.
BRT
I don’t have to agree on you with everything in order to realize your accomplishments.
Credit where credit is due is a real thing.
LW is right. Too bad you ain’t my kid’s teacher. Although most of hers are fantastic.
One especially went out of the way to help her when her mother was abusing her.
Thank you for your service.
I guess a tranny could do the same thing, but this one wasn’t, and if a Green Beret can’t protect himself from someone who chopped him into pieces, no one can.
Or, did he just underestimate her because she is a woman? It took my kid to get punched by her mother in order for me to get custody.
Wife may have killed Green Beret husband because he was ending marriage:
Authorities identified the body with no limbs found in a Cumberland County pond in February as Bonnell’s. According to Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office, his wife Shana Cloud was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and concealment of a death.

As long as LW is lurking, let me offer my appreciation for his great advice four years ago with regard to seeking an attorney in my impending divorce. I found a great firm/partner that helped me craft a satisfactory settlement and it was made official about a year ago. Very grateful to you for sharing your personal experiences on the matter.

No, just the ones that can’t get hired by Newsmax or Fox News.

“April 16th – TOKYO (Reuters) – Honda Motor will shift production of its U.S.-bound five-door Civic hybrid model from Japan to Indiana, a company spokesperson said on Wednesday.
Production of the model in the Yorii factory, near Tokyo, is likely to end in June or July, the spokesperson said.
Honda may shift 90 percent of its US-market vehicle sales to American factories.
The HR-V, CR-V, and Civic could all could move from Canada to US assembly lines.
Around 70 percent of Honda’s US sales already come from American-built vehicles.
Honda’s goal: shield itself from tariffs by building nearly everything it sells in America, right here in America.
2:22 PM Update: “China expressed openness to trade talks with the US on Wednesday, under certain conditions, even after the White House clarified that “China now faces up to a 245% tariff on imports to the United States.”
So it begins. 70 nations have contacted the White House to open negotiations.
Trump was right again.
“Johnson & Johnson announced manufacturing, research and development, and technology investments of more than $55 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. They say it represents a 25 percent increase in investment compared to the previous four years under President Joe Biden, crediting an increase in investment levels to the 2017 Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. As a result the company moved forward and broke ground on a 500,000-square-foot biologics manufacturing facility in Wilson, North Carolina.”
The flood gates are about to open.

Meanwhile in Sunny CaliFUNia…whe asked about Harris for Governor
Among the registered Democratic voters who were surveyed, 33% responded they felt “joyful” about her potential run. Another 41% felt “mostly excited.” Also more optimistic were Black voters: 35% said they felt “joyful,” and another 38% said they felt “mostly excited.” Asian American voters felt a bit more dreary about the prospect, with 18% choosing “irritated.” About 19% of Latino voters felt “hopeless.”
For GOP voters, the most popular sentiment was that of “irritation” or “outrage.” About 26% of registered independents said they felt “irritated,” while another 21% selected “hopeless.”
Political insiders, according to the survey, are even less enthusiastic than registered voters.
About 4% of insiders said they would feel “outraged” by a Harris run, and 20% said they would feel “irritated.” Only 22% said they feel “mostly excited,” while 36% felt “indifferent.”
Fast: They won’t be building any of those facilities in New Jersey or New York.
Dark: I never said they were kittens. In fact some are quite evil, more evil and manipulative than any man. I know two of them, they are extended family. They have no souls, ( not that they you are the religious type). That said, there are good wonderful women out there. I think you might forget that at times.
As always the right keeps picking and choosing outliers to make broad brush statements.
3b, goes off with some random woman abused in prison by another woman who happens to be trans. Then picks an even more narrow case of a star athlete who is trans. Theybare both probably less than 0.05% of the trans population. Meanwhile my trans friends don’t travel by plane, are discriminated at work and overall are given a poor quality of life just because they chose – after great effort and incredible emotional persistence to be liberated. It is not easy to have your penis removed or added. Or any if the various procedures and hormonal therapies they need to undergo. Imagine being in a small cage – that’s how a trans person feels when they don’t proceed with their treatments. And that is 99% of trans who we should be advocating for – regardless of left or right.
And then there is Fast Eddie, picks the talking points of Leavitt and takes it as fact, while having a blind eye to the market that is getting decimated everyday. Company CEOs are unable to even provide guidance of the future. How smug can one be that you ignore an economy and long term future and still jack off on Leavitt’s comments. Deranged is the word.
Gary’s walking around with only a brain stem….to be fair
Rent: Like I said anything that goes against your myopic world view is an outlier. But, like I said you are a big blowhard, you try so hard to present yourself here as the uber liberal good guy. I think you are a big phony. Now it’s your trans friends, being harassed when they travel, and before that your Jewish friend who supports Hamas and your Palestinian friend who likes Jews but not Zionists, whatever the issue, you seem to have a friend/s from the applicable group, and so of course you know it all, everyone else is wrong. Then there are you multiple conspiracy theories, like the Gaza Israeli conflict was a set up. And of course your multiple ruminations on every and any topic. You really should take a look at some of the nonsense/ gibberish you post. Like I said just a big blowhard. I think even most of the posters here who are left or lean left find you tiresome, but won’t say anything.
My anecdotal stories are better than yours!
It’s pretty clear who has a myopic view here.
As the transition doctor I know says….. “it’s easier to make a hole than a pole”.
True story.

3b, lets stick to facts, shall we. I called you out on your bs analogies and outlier comments.
Anyhoo. Onboard a flight.. taking the lil one to Orlando.
If you miss me uou know where I am
Rent, No I called you out on your fake holier than thou liberalism, and your fantasy friends from various ethnic and sexual groups, and your conspiracy theories. I would also add your constant name calling on people that disagree with your myopic fantasy world. No, don’t worry, I won’t miss you. It will be a nice break from all your ranting everyday.
The difference is, 9 billion tax dollars to Newsmax. If MSNBC or CNN wanted to hire them, I’m fine with that.
Better get one now while they are still reliable.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection appears to be contradicting President Donald Trump’s comments on the daily revenue generated by his latest slate of tariffs.
The agency said in a statement to CNBC on Monday, “Since April 5, CBP has collected over $500 million under the new reciprocal tariffs, contributing to more than $21 billion in total tariff revenue from 15 presidential trade actions implemented since Jan 20, 2025.”
The update comes after a 10-hour glitch in the finance system prevented U.S. importers from inputting a code that would have exempted freight that was already on the water from being subject to the higher duties.
“Even during the brief glitch, CBP’s average $250 million/day revenue stream remained uninterrupted,” CBP said in its statement.
Trump has repeatedly said the United States is taking in $2 billion per day from tariffs, including revenues directly resulting from his so-called “reciprocal” tariffs.
The most recent data released Monday by the Treasury Department shows the department’s daily statement of total deposits listed under “Customs and Certain Excise Taxes” as $305 million. All tariffs are collected by U.S. Customs at the point of entry.
Jeez lady.
