Since it's getting warmer and people are going to be out hiking and camping, besides deer ticks, look out for dinosaurs. If you do come across a man eater, remember to throw sand at them. They are defenseless to sand.

Happy Memorial Day!

The biggest respect is saved for the biggest heroes. Sadly, we're getting no leadership like this from our elected leaders, especially now. No honor, no sacrifice, certainly not like those who stood for this nation in the darkest corners of this globe, sometimes bleeding out and dying for all Americans in perpetuity with nobody there to help or thank them. Johnny's a very liberal guy but in his reading of the American contract you do not now or ever turn your back on a veteran. That is an iron clad contract. Today is about those vets who gave it all for all of us.

Thank you.

We can just list Cory Booker on Amazon at this point

There may be varying degrees of ratings and prices as he's been bought more than once on different platforms.

You'll recall in January we pointed out that while all the Democrats and even a few Republicans were on board with importing drugs to help keep prescription costs down for Americans being ripped off by nonsensical Big Pharma pricing games. Even Donald Fucking Trump brought up the idea while running for President. Not Cory Booker, he stood firm with over $55K in NJ Big Pharma money lining his pockets, no to importing drugs from Canada. Not that Booker had any proof of his claim, that we need to check and make sure these drugs are safe, as Johnny wrote at the time:

Let that sink in. At ANY point in the last few years did you read any articles online or see a teevee news report about a bunch of dead Canadians lying outside pharmacies or along Yonge Street in Toronto or on the prairies of Western Canada? Of course you didn't. These drugs are already safe, it's just an excuse for Sen. Booker. 

If that kind of thing is wrong, this next part is disgraceful and possibly harmful to the security of the country -- yeah, it is. Leading Democrats in Washington D.C. as well as former CIA, FBI and national security experts believe at the very least Jared Kushner's Russian dalliances mean his security clearance should be reviewed and probably revoked at this point. The experts folks, the experts.

Know who thinks he needs to stand up for Jared Kushner AND his security clearance, (something when in doubt for Christ's sake should be double-checked) Cory Booker. Yep, Booker went to bat for Kushner after all we know and the experts have told us.

What's Senator Booker's reasoning for not wanting to chase down US/Russia espionage charges? Maybe the fact Jared and Ivanka Trump held two max out the donations fundraisers for Booker.

There you go. Cory's good friends Jared (Awwww, he went to Jared) and Ivanka lining his pockets full of campaign cash might do it, what do you think New Jersey? Democrats should be beyond mildly worried at this point with Booker's ability to make the wrong choices shortly after getting money from Big Pharma, Big Real Estate, Big Celebrity, et al.

We know from following the Senator on Twitter he likes inspirational quotes for certain situations. Here's one:

"Suppose you could gain everything in the whole world, and lost your soul. Was it worth it?"    
 -- Billy Graham

Setting up for another big road race today

Manila Ave between Bay St. and 6th St. will be hosting the 3rd Annual Santacruzan Fil-Am 5K and Manila Avenue Mile. They have their finish line set up and several food vendors are setting up as well as a stage. On such a beautiful day maybe a walk through later might just bring some fun and fill you up right on food!

We're keeping a bare-bones staff around the City Desk offices this weekend so coverage may be spottier than Pine Barrens cell service.

If your birthday is today, you share it with the late actor Christopher Lee and that ain't too shabby.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!

Did you guys know Bruce is from New Jersey? No, it's true. It's Bon Jovi that's from Delaware.

Long a favorite song of Johnny's, 'Human Touch'

Seriously though, New Jersey.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ADAM ANT!

Nobody in the history of rock and roll as we know it has ever made easier money than the person playing drums and or laying down a drum track on this song.

Just saying.

Adam Ant and the beat that is 'Goody Two Shoes'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PET SHOP BOYS!
