Britain and Ireland had a hard border with each other for 30 years. Policed and sealed with armed British troops. Britain never, ever achieved total border security.
Brexit should fail and if not cause a prolonged, dark recessionary period in Britain.
Airlines already moved their home bases to EU.
Banks are moving HQ to EU.
Corporations are relocating to the EU.
If they don't, they are at a market disadvantage.
Donald Trump has A.D.D. and a 200 word vocabulary.
1. The biggest impact in this election will be from one candidate.
2.
History will credit the impact Bernie has had on our lives.
PS Tom Hayden is dead.

Best Speech Ever
President Obama is a great speaker, but if I had to choose one fire in the gut speech it would be Mario Cuomo's 1984 Key Note speech:

Here Comes Windows 10
Well here it is. The latest Windows operating system Windows 10 or just W10 for short.
I always wait to see what everyone else says about Windows updates to their operating system before jumping on board. It always seems prudent to let the masses shake out all the bugs before committing to an upgrade.
This time is no different and even more important. I have heard some real pushy, invasive, heavy handed characteristics of W10 so we will just leave automatic updates off on our Windows 8.1 operating system PCs for now.
For those who just got caught up in the hype or just like jumping in the pool head first, there is some protection hacks already developed by the PC community. That is what I love about PCs. We got help.
For those who wish to go ahead and upgrade to W10 be cautious and follow this users careful instruction:
........... Windows 10 asks if you want to share all of your private information by doing an express setup or control your privacy by doing an advanced setup. I chose advanced setup and configured all of these settings before Windows 10 even loaded the first time. This article leads you to believe that you have no choice but to go hunting for these settings after Microsoft has already raped you for your private information.......
Where there's help there's choices. The biggest turn off to me is a lack of choice from MS to opt out of the upgrade. The bigger issue is spying on the user. Many first users complain of multiple pathways of serious data mining. Not just your browser history.
Here is a link to disarm some of the most dangerous data mining paths to Microsoft:
https://hideu.wordpress.com/2015/08/13/how-to-kill-windows-10-privacy-spying-forever/
We will no doubt explore other operating system alternatives now and in the future.

NJ to remove windows from all public schools.
Like a fat kid caught breaking windows at school. NJ Governor Christie told NH out of towners that the latest Moodys bond rating downgrade just means that he is right again. The pension system in NJ is the root of all NJ deficit.
Before it was Obama. Now it is the pension shortfall. Meanwhile the state is hiding the fact that the Governor took credit for funding, fixing reforming the system. Then took the funding back and blamed the pension shortfall on the state workers that bargained for it over decades and rely on it.
He and Walker are trying to out do each other with their track record interpretations, but our guy is the best.
Wahhh!

I Don't Have to Commit a Crime.
I don't have to commit a crime, I have people do it for me. That is how it works in New Jersey. It works in every other state too for that matter. The only point here is that we do it bigger and as Joe Biden would say "they don't hide the ball" in NJ.
Can you imagine how much juice, graft, slush, candy, shekels, or cream flows through the NJ Turnpike Authority? Can you imagine what a job as Chairman of the NJTA is worth? The Chairman of the NJ Turnpike Authority (NJTA) just retired from His Wolff Sampson Law Firm conglomerate. Guess who takes over as head of that Law firm?
When you bought and paid for someone, you own them.

Exxon Mobil Bayway Settlement: Deadline for Comment June 5, 2015
exxonmobilbaywaysettlement@dep.nj.gov
Exxon Mobil Bayway Settlement:
The
proposed settlement is inadequate and affront to NJ residents, US
citizens and the world. The very idea of this low a settlement reminds
us of a third world junta bribery scandal. Make no mistake that this is
some small pollution case.
This is big. Not
just for NJ, but the nation and world. If a person or corporation can
anticipate little consequence for actions of conducting business the bar
is lowered not just in NJ, the US, for all living organism, across
every border and every region.
We urge the court to proceed to value any settlement to the standard of Exxon Valdez or BP Gulf.
Sincerely,
Sunday, April 5, 2015

A weapon so horrible, life as we know it on earth could be eliminated. The US Congress does not approve of?
The framework to eliminate for now a Nuclear armed Iran has been announced. We could potentially breath a little easier with regard to the world's future of man made destruction.
It comes after a roar of hawkish criticism from the GOP, Israel and within the Democratic party itself. Besides Israeli interference, US congressional obstructionism and a vocal US Senator Menendez further divides wide opinions of the UN brokered deal.
Menendez also made his disgust with normalizing Cuban relations known as the President uses executive carrots to push Cuba toward normalization.
It is ironic (or not) that today's announcement of the nuclear agreement framework follows the announcement of a federal indictment of Senator Menendez on corruption charges?
Bob Menendez as Foreign Relations Chair openly criticized the President for his efforts big time. We tried it his way for 50 years of sanctions. He wants it to continue on that poor country until what?
Good Luck Bob. Should have bit your tongue. Don't let the door .......
As for the obstructionist hawks on both sides of the isle, guess sanctions did work.

New Jersey may finally get the shaft, but this time will have to pay for it.
It seems that building an additional rail tunnel to Manhattan is finally OK with our governor, but now there is no federal funds available.
After squandering an opportunity to begin replacement of the ageing tunnels six years ago and have most of it paid for by the federal government, the damaged tunnels must be repaired at the cost of untold millions.
Still no new replacement tunnel construction. The money is gone. The studies, property and equipment availability, engineering proposals and the transportation trust fund - gone.
Now repairs to the old crumbling rail tunnels must begin. Now, like the Pulaski Skyway, the Goethals bridge, and all feeder routes, structures and infrastructure must be removed or restricted from service for repairs. This comes at a time when there is no money and no reform of the process, leadership or agency in charge.
Mafia could not have done it better. The only thing missing is a call by the governor to privatize the whole shebang because the Democrats have screwed this up so bad.
Really?
As the NJ to Manhattan commuters stack up waiting for 1/4 of the normal train capacity, do the Wallstreeters really believe it is the government's fault? Do they really believe blocking Port Authority reform is beneficial?
Where does an agency so powerful, so secretive and so protected have a place in a democracy? Unreformable, unindictable and able to protect themselves from any threat. An interstate criminal enterprise.

Christie Administration Won’t Give Lawmaker Details On Exxon Settlement
New Jersey: A legal pirate state. Every state asset for sale. Everything and anything of value is up for bounty.
Governorship gluttony. An obese obscenity.
Carpet bragger privateer Christie sells out friends, donors employees, civil service, teachers, fire fighters and taxpayers. Hold on to your wallet. The closer to the end of a governors term the more feverish looting becomes.

Sure we make fun of our governor here in NJ for underfunding pension obligations and taking credit for it.
Democrats learned how to do it without hiding the ball. Look see what we did. Yeah!
