I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.
I agree that six months ago he should have withdrawn and taken care of himself. Clearly he had a significant stroke. This state is vital in keeping power for the democrats.
Given that, saying "good night everyone" instead of "good evening"...meh. But needing a closed caption and communication issues does not mean he's not mentally fit. There were moments when he had clarity and no difficulty speaking such as when he talked about his support of Roe v. Wade. He seemed to understand the questions.
But this is why Oz pushed so hard for a debate because he wanted to highlight Fedderman's health, in my opinion, and conservative press delivered just that. Oz is a robust healthy man comfortable on stage and in front of the camera.
Regardless people seem to be considering voting more on party and national issues rather than considering individual candidates. They feel that stakes are too high.
Yes, the "good night" moment not a big deal if that was it. And mentally, he just might be fine.
Imo, he is unqualified in many ways. Putting those reasons aside, he is running for a position that requires that you are able to express your thoughts, ideas, positions, etc. Did you hear his answers regarding fracking, not paying his taxes, chasing a man down with his gun?
Even at that what did you give their odds of "throwing over the government and installing a dictator"? This is what I mean that it didn't come close to happening. The were squashed easily at the end of the day.
I still say there is no. way no how domestic terrorists will be successful in overthrowing the government and installing Trump and that saying Republicans are trying to do this is left wing rhetoric.
Are the concerns and criminal behavior by these terrorists? Absolutely. In their twisted minds they are the patriots fighting for Americans and it's scary stuff.
You are correct.
Because of the work of the Jan 6 commission, we know there were a few crazies in Trump's orbit and in Congress who wanted him to exercise his emergency powers. He pretty much dismissed them and he didn't exercise those powers. One of the craziest, MTG doesn't even remember if they discussed the Insurrection Act.
And, we know Pence and others weren't going to go along with it anyway.
And, we know some of his most influential people to him, such as family, were encouraging him to do more to stop what was going on at the Capitol.

The newsletter might be something interesting to try. It is free, and I thought there was a possibility it might intrigue some of you. I just signed on today and plan to try it for a week.

I peruse a few newsletters like this. This one I believe is new to me. Thanks.
I don't believe any are free from bias.
Some here will write off this newsletter if they see one of their news headlines today links to a article on "The Hill".

I've always found The Hill pretty good at presenting things from both sides of the aisle. They've really grown over the years and seem to have a good reputation. Allsides rates them as Center.
I will confess when I read some sources from the posters here I will check out who they are and if they are conservative then I take that with a grain of salt in understanding how the story is presented and spun, and often try to find a more neutral source because like you've pointed out, just because it's from a conservative site doesn't mean it isn't true. But the spin from left and right wing sites can be a bit much.

Perhaps but I've never heard that idea, but I don't read left wing rhetoric.
To me it makes zero sense for the Biden administration, whom the article is talking about, to want more illegal immigrants and high gas prices when clearly these issues are costing the mid-term elections. The writer could have left out that rhetoric to make the point. I don't have any more free views of the NYT but if I'd have clicked it on I would have probably stopped there.
I would tolerate the idea, as congressperson Steve Scalise pointed out on Fox News, that Biden created record high gas prices and the worst border crisis in history (I don't think Biden is fully responsible for creating these problems, but it is happening) than "it's just what the liberals want".
It's the author's opinion, not reporting... perhaps the opinion is influenced by right wing rhetoric. I'd say that was likely.

Not just night clubs "Drag Queen Bingo" has been charity events at churches, restaurants, gay resorts and venues for a long time. I used to attend one regularly probably about 15 years ago when I was a church goer and one fundraiser at a local restaurant years ago as well.
We've had drag queen reading hour here for several years and it's not "suddenly showing up for children's reading hour", it's the anti-wokeness crowd that suddenly is having a problem with it.
As I stated above I don't understand people's concerns. I agree their history is adult entertainment in clubs. Most of my experience with drag queens in entertainment has been seeing them lip synch diva songs for tips. Certainly the monologues between numbers are adult. But so are Taylor Swift and Beyonce dropping several f-bombs on their albums and Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion having a number 1 hit singing about their lady parts using the p-word.
The concerns about grooming and pedophelia are unfounded phobia's. If a parent wants their children to attend the readings it's them grooming their children to be open to that form of entertainment, which obviously would be a clean child-friendly environment, not the other way around.
If someone has concerns, then just don't show up and groom your kids to your values and homophobia however you choose. Allow parental choice.
This is all part of the right wing strategy in manipulating their targeted audiences. It's worked in several countries historically and it's working extremely well on American conservative voters.

I'm surprised that you haven't noticed when I've cited The Hill. I can't imagine who among the members commenting here would write it off because of a link to The Hill.

What do you think about the bias of Epoch Times?
You shouldn't be surprised. Your pompous bloviating often compels me to quicky skim over your comments, if not ignore them completely. It'd be quite easy for me to miss something you may have posted.
If you've ever cited The Hill, my apologies for offending you.
If you've found the Epoch Times to be biased, I won't argue it. I also don't care.
I had on the radio heard about Biden saying "my legislation limits a round to 8 bullets". Their article is one that I found regarding that statement.

Did they make up that quote attributed to him?
You don't care that you cite far right Chinese propaganda outlets? Why not?
You haven't offended me. It's unclear what about my comment suggested that.
You tell me, is the quote you provided accurate? I didn't fact check you and I don't visit the Epoch Times website. I am a gun owner who believes that we need sensible gun regulations. I'm not overly troubled by an old man known for verbal gaffes making a verbal gaffe about guns, so it didn't seem worth my time to look. When I watched his remarks the other day it seems like he did say something like that. It's odd to me in these unprecedented and perilous times, that is what right wing commentary is using to get people's attention.
The price of gas is coming down. We have relatively high gas taxes in this state. It is $4.29 at Costco this morning, which is usually one of the cheapest places to get it.
And the Dow is up, and GDP grew in the third quarter.

Yes. They don't expect that growth to be sustained.
The Fed needs to be careful.

For U.S. policymakers, the ructions in global financial markets present a challenge: Inflation is high and needs taming, but the solution — sharp interest rate increases — is starting to disturb the financial system so much that some analysts warn it could snowball into a bout of serious instability. But the Fed has shown little appetite to change course quickly. It is expected to raise rates again next week, and lift them further later this year and into 2023.
