Wasn’t this a movie? George Washington Slept Here
Oh well, from NJ.com:
Yes, George Washington did sleep in this N.J. house for sale
This New Jersey home has some serious ties to the Revolutionary War.
It was ransacked, more than once, by British troops looking for hidden treasures. It was used as a food storage facility during the Revolutionary War because of its 20-inch thick walls. And, George Washington slept in the primary bedroom, leaving behind his breakfast dishes and a half a glass of wine, according to local historians.
The home is prominently located in the center of Long Valley, has five bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a separate second dwelling with two bedrooms and one bathroom. And it’s listed for sale for $750,000.
“It’s a 251-year-old house, so it’s going to take that special person who loves historic, big homes,” said Greg Brozowski, who listed it along with Bonnie Cerra, both of Coldwell Banker Realty in Mendham. “It’s in very good condition but it’s not a turnkey center hall colonial at the end of a cul-de-sac.”
The median sale price of a home in Long Valley was $788,000 in August, according to Redfin.
“The home is absolutely gorgeous but it does need some love,” Brozowski said.
The kitchen and electrical system could use updating, it could use some paint and outside stone work needs refreshing, he said.
The home is a value because of the “historic feel, uniqueness and the size of the house,” Brozowski said. “With some work it’s a $1.2-$1.3 million house, easy. It just needs someone with vision that appreciates the history and style to get it up to that.”

There’s a house in Tappan similar to the one above. You can read the history of the listing though, this one was built in the 1930s. I love this architecture:

Another epic win for Trump… and the world. Historic. But the influence he has is unprecedented.

BTW. This storm is a big zero. Maybe the coastal towns are getting hammered but WTF?
No wind at all.
Yup. The storm moved offshore.
Is it TACO Tuesday already?
Water gauges along the coast are predicting moderate flooding in about 3 hours from now and a bit later up river in Manhattan at the Battery flood gauge.
Zoom in and click the light blue dots.

Shoprite in Wall had about 20 Asplundh tree trucks idling yesterday afternoon in the overflow parking lot. Lots of OT sitting around, if they were smart they got ice cream from Nicholas.
About 4” of rain in my southern Monmouth rain gauge along with a 2-3 club wind, gusty more than anything. Few limbs down, but nothing major.
I feel like an equity trader on Cantor’s floor. This shit ain’t right. Not complaining.

Release the Epstein files
Chi – Not funny. Some of us worked downtown back then ya know. I also have friends to this day who are all screwed up because of it.
Hughes, I’ve been meaning to try Nicholas creamery. I used to live right there in Wall.
Xi does not have “a bad moment”. Rule one in a confrontation: never believe your own propaganda. Xi’s ambitions, unchanged for decades, are military equivalence with US in E. Pacific region and recovery of Taiwan; the major source of high end chips for the US and others.
Recently, annual graduation of mechanical engineers in US 45,000 – all nationalities – China 350,000.
Storms are like the market. They fake you out so you are complacent. Next time we won’t declare emergency and it will be bad.
Dark: Trump ain’t releasing the file, bad stuff in those files either about him and or friends of his. Also bad stuff about Democrat politicians and rich and famous, that’s why Biden didn’t release them. These people protect each other, that’s how they roll.
Nicholas creamery.
Ice cream.
Plenty of places make it, plenty of places make it good.
Did the turd Portnoy give it a grade yet?
Just think of the mentality of an average American who buys their pizza based on a “celebrity’s?” opinion.
Eat the damn pizza youself and if you like it, you like it.
You gonna change your opinion cause this guy gives it a low grade?
You gotta stand for something, or you will fall for anything, you got to be your own man, not a puppet on a string.
Nicholas is very good. Their hot fudge sauce is outstanding. Probably partial to Hoffmans, they are the only place around where I can find pralines and cream, a personal favorite. I tend to like the simpler flavors, not the ones with all of the stuff crammed in.

I agree. 100%
Unprecedented moment in the Middle East… as close as ever to peace in that region as we’ve ever seen in our lifetimes. Will it stick beyond today? For decades? More? Forever? Twenty nations came together in the region to say it’s time to move on from this everlasting nonsense. The dawn of a new age has arrived and 2,000 years of the same war(s) is over. The AI era is here and they’re already behind. Who would’ve thought even Syria would be engaged in indirect and direct talks with Israel regarding a potential security agreement, with the U.S. acting as a mediator? It’s remarkable.
Business guys like Witkoff, Trump, etc. are the difference. Make a deal. And if need be… turn a nuclear facility into rubble. But that goes for every aspect of governance. It illustrates how inept, clueless and rudderless politicians really are. It illustrates how bad Oblammy and O’Biden really were as presidents… blowing smoke up the asses of their constituents when, in reality, they sucked hard. A beer summit vs. world peace. Lololol.
The guy is in office for less than a year and it’s stunning to witness the achievements thus far. The world is revolving around the United States like nothing we never thought possible. We’re rock star status! Can you imagine if the drunken Ho Cumella was president right now? Oh God.

pralines and cream.
Reminded me of this
“smashing Basil cool, this coffee smells like shit,” and Basil replies, “it is shit, Austin,” to which Austin says, “oh good then it’s not just me. it’s a bit nutty”.
11:03 I don’t see it…honestly. This post is desperate and cloying nonsense.
Trump destroyed a functioning economy here at home, he’s wasted millions deploying the military into places where they have nothing to do, and he has enriched only himself in the process. In no way does this represent anything resembling success. The domestic agriculture market is on its knees. Leadership in congress is too afraid to convene as they will be outvoted and expose the pedophile in chief .
Should Joe ask for socialist welfare from the government to fix his flooded house?

Is the Tomahawk fitted with a nuclear warhead Dimitri?
Maybe yes, maybe no.
Oh well, treat it as it is and launch everything Dimitri.
Media says, US isn’t just supplying weapons, it’s an active participant:
US intel guided Ukraine’s strikes on Russian energy sites- It’s no longer “Biden’s war.”
The US has for months been helping Ukraine mount long-range strikes on Russian energy facilities, in what officials say is a co-ordinated effort to weaken Vladimir Putin’s economy and force him to the negotiating table.
American intelligence shared with Kyiv has enabled strikes on important Russian energy assets including oil refineries far beyond the frontline, according to multiple Ukrainian and US officials familiar with the campaign.
The previously unreported support has intensified since midsummer and has been crucial in helping Ukraine carry out attacks that Joe Biden’s White House discouraged. Kyiv’s strikes have driven up energy prices in Russia and prompted Moscow to cut diesel exports and import fuel.
The intelligence sharing is the latest sign that Trump has deepened his support for Ukraine as his frustration with Russia has grown.
My reference is to Cantor in 2025, where I’m sure Howard is funneling unfiltered information. Once you appreciate how these cavemen work, just plug and play.
Regret you misinterpreted me.

What was the most appealing to me was they had a “Delicious Orchards” ice cream or sorbet? Best Apple Cider meets premium ice cream spot.
By me, we have the Bent Spoon and O Wow Cow. Bent Spoon is the most innovative with the flavors. O wow cow is just super duper creamy on top of the innovation. I agree though, I don’t like all these loaded ice creams. I appreciate good simple combos. Sea Salt Caramel Apple comes to mind. Chocolate Cinnamon Habanero.
I’m still yearning for the Peach Ice Cream from the now gone Bischoff’s in Teaneck. It tasted like you picked a peach off the tree and turned it into ice cream.
Israeli ministers just suckin that mushroom D on live TV.
What do you guys make of Trumps wild swings on Ukraine? From cutting off arms to now providing support, to no country, to take it all back.
Trump was saying that he knew he liked the way the B2s looked but was amazed they had the capability they did. He then pauses and says… we ordered 28 more. lol. Classic!

What do I think?
Putin is no joke. He is all in, 100 percent. Many of his people have died, sunk cost fallacy.
Either let him have Ukraine, or the US will get nuked.
He is tired of things like this, history matters:
Soviet plans to build the pipeline were strongly opposed by the US-administration of Ronald Reagan.[17][18][19] Americans were afraid that Western Europe would become dependent on the Soviet gas supplies, giving leverage to the Soviet Union. They also feared the Kremlin would use the export revenue for military purposes.[20] In December 1981, the US implemented sanctions preventing American companies from exporting oil and gas technologies to the Soviet Union. In June 1982, these sanctions were expanded to cover subsidiaries of US companies in Europe.[20]
Washington’s Western European allies, however, refused to boycott the pipeline.[21][22] The foreign ministers of the European Economic Community called extension of the American sanctions illegal and sent a formal note of protest.[20] From the European perspective, participation in the pipeline project was seen as an opportunity for the depressed steel and engineering industry in Europe and as a way to diversify from the OPEC oil supplies.[20] Western European governments insisted that contracts already signed between the Soviets and European companies needed to be honored. This led to several European companies being sanctioned by the US.[23][24] Reagan reportedly said: “Well, they can have their damned pipeline. But not with American equipment and not with American technology.”[25] The efforts by the US to prevent the construction of the pipeline, and its export embargo of supplies needed to build it (1980–84), constituted one of the most severe transatlantic crises of the Cold War.
Gas is down to $2.44 per gallon; eggs are at $3.39 per dozen; Lidl has three boxes of cereal for $6.00, generics range from $1.69 to $1.99.
DOW up over $600.
The Delicious Orchard cider ice cream with their homemade crumble was good.
They use a lot of local ingredients for their mix ins. Hoffmans coffee cake ice cream was good. Some famous local black and white cookie company ice cream was just OK.
They had a lemon / blueberry pie this summer that was really good.
Their vanilla is solid, got a small to go with pecan pie last night. Small ice cream was $6, but whatever.
Nicholas has multiple locations. Some are more convenient than others.
Not that it is an unimpeded on/off, but the one in Tinton Falls works with 105/109 on the parkway.

GoFundMe CEO says economy is so challenged people are raising money to buy food
Ice cream discussion reminds me of this:

Chi, I did see that. I’ll probably go with 34 as it’s on the way to my mother’s home in Brielle next time we visit. I may hit up the other ones though as I have to get a meal soon at Salt Creek Grille in Rumson to use a $100 gift certificate. Given that two weeks ago, the Princeton one suddenly shut down faster than a crypto bro on 50:1 leverage gets liquidated, I need to use it ASAP.
I think I read that they do a “flight” of ice creams? Last time we were at Hershey, my son did a “flight” and returned with 4 cookies and cream ice creams. I had to explain to him the concept.
Trump say he may provide Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine of Russia doe not “do a deal”. Putin will say feck off.

Peace in the Middle East is not measured in minutes. There’s nothing left of Gaza anyway. Fear not. The moment they have the capability to kill Jews, Iran and their proxies will. Would love some of what you and the POTUS are smoking.
Gary,
What’s Trump eating for lunch today?
🌮!
Speak loudly and carry a soft taco.

I believe the little blue pill is supposed to help that.
Randy’s in Pompton Lakes is probably the best ice cream spot in NJ right now.
Easily the most unique selections you’ll find anywhere.
If you are looking for standards – they do them well, but if you are looking for something different, unique, heck yeah.
I’m glad Gary’s happy.
New polling data on swing states shows that a plurality of voters now favor President Donald Trump being impeached, a figure that one journalist suspects will reach an outright majority ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
“If Democrats win 20-40 seats, while only needing to flip three to take the majority, Trump’s presidency is effectively over,” wrote journalist Jason Easley, co-owner and editor of PoliticusUSA, a left-leaning news website, in an analysis published Thursday.
“The opposition to this president and his presidency appears to be only growing stronger. The pot is boiling, and the boil-over moment will likely manifest itself next November.”
Conducted by Lake Research Partners and commissioned by the national nonprofit Free Speech For People, the new poll shows that 49% of likely 2026 voters in swing districts supported impeaching Trump, compared to 44% who opposed. Additionally, the polling showed that 56% of those same voters disapproved of Trump during his second term compared to 40% who approved.
To the polling firm, the results were “unprecedented,” noting that such high support for impeachment so early into a president’s term were “remarkable.”
“It is remarkable and, as far as we know, unprecedented for such a large proportion of voters in swing districts to support impeachment of a president in the first year of their term,” the polling firm wrote in its memorandum alongside the polling data.
As for Easley, he suspected that given the dramatic shift toward supporting impeachment, that support would reach an outright majority ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
“This is a surprising number of people in swing districts who want Trump impeached,” Easley wrote. “At the current pace this administration is on, the number of voters who want Trump impeached for a third time will pass 50% before the midterm election.”
Trump has been impeached twice already; first for his “perfect phone call” in which he was alleged to have attempted to extort Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for damaging information on former President Joe Biden in 2019, and again in 2020 for attempting to overturn the results of the election.
Today is akin to a ‘Berlin Wall’ moment. Truly historic. World leaders are flocking to Trump but in essence, they’re flocking to America. Make America great again… just one of many avenues elevating our status as the greatest country in the world. Again, we’re rock stars because of the unprecedented leadership of this administration.
Bessent says there’s no money for healthcare, but he always has $20 billion for Trump’s nutball friend running Argentina
I just wanted to point out that Sean Penn has called Venezuelan tyrant Maduro a “great friend”. I wonder what’s his and other leftist Hollywood actors’ take on the latest Nobel Peace prize winner who is trying to reverse Maduro’s socialist revolution and reinstate fair elections and rule of law.
No One,
The celebrity elite and liberal politicians are in their own realm and want nothing to do with the little people infiltrating their world. Success and wealth is only for those worthy enough to join the ivory tower club. Conservatives/Republicans want everyone to succeed, the other side are okay with tossing a lifeline here and there to make themselves feel better. You know, demonstrating compassion so they can wash off the guilt. So, it makes sense that whatever the ruling class says, the charlatans are all for it because it involves their best interest as well.
As for that No Kings day, the last worked so well, they need another one. And like the last one, it’ll be forgotten by the day after. I do wonder if the No Kings day includes despots and dictators around the globe or just the one(s) the left hates?
Due to the apparent instability of the world economy at the moment I went ahead and put some money into a Jumbo Certificate at 4.10%. Not a bad rate at the moment and maybe by the time it matures things are more steady, or maybe not. I‘m not totally out of the market but do have a large cash position right now.
Very little volume here. I saw we fail to close above relevant near-term MA’s and gap down tomorrow.
Salt Creek Grille? That is a glorified Applebees……. no offense to whoever gave you the gift (from Costco?).
If you are going to Rumson anyway, then go to Nicholas in Fair Haven.

Really disagree with this analysis. I think a great deal of people are very happy and unhappy, and then the important swath in the middle are wishing everything would calm down (which it won’t), but enough good shit is happening to make the net positive calculation. That said, with the Orange impulses, and the malevolent catalyst Miller as the lackey, we are in a constant state of defining the bottom lower. I really think Miller puts Rove and Cheney to shame. He is a frightening bald nerd from Valley girl central that is channeling his high school rage at his ugliness and undersized penis. G-d help us.

Salt Creeke Grill had some decent dishes. In the Princeton area, it’s one of the better restaurants. Dining in Mercer County is pretty below average as far as the state goes. Everyone in the Princeton area accepts mediocrity and pretends it’s the best…because its….Princeton. Lambertville/New Hope has a much better dining scene IMO.

JPMorgan’s David Kelly warned this week that while America is “going broke,” it’s doing so slowly enough that markets aren’t panicking yet. With U.S. national debt now topping $37.8 trillion and interest payments exceeding $1.2 trillion, Kelly said the debt-to-GDP ratio—already at 99.9%—will likely keep rising even under moderate growth. Despite tariff revenues and temporary deficit relief, he cautioned that political choices or a slowdown could quickly worsen the fiscal picture, urging investors to diversify away from U.S. assets before “going broke slowly” turns fast.
America is going broke, JPMorgan Asset Management’s chief global strategist David Kelly wrote in a note this week, but no one is panicking yet because the government is going broke slowly.
Kelly outlined the while the economy is facing a barrage of issues (geopolitics, trade wars, changing immigration enforcement, and government shutdowns to name a few) one of the key longer-term issues is how the U.S. government is going to pay its bills.
