Weather: 81° Partly cloudy. High 81F. threat of strong thunderstorms with hail, lightning, gusty winds returns Friday
- Tax increase for Lakewood residents approved by committee meeting today average duplex will pay another $800 annually.
- Smoke from Canadian wildfires will be making a return late Thursday into Friday, the National Weather Service said. It will mostly stay in the upper atmosphere, northern New Jersey will experience near-surface smoke. The NWS does not expect a return to the dense smoke that blanketed the region with toxic fumes.
- For only the third time ever, New Jersey will celebrate Juneteenth as a state holiday on Friday. But the federal holiday for Juneteenth — which celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S. — will be Monday. That means state courts and offices, including MVC office sites, will be closed Friday. And while it will be normal business for state government Monday, the federal holiday means federal courts, mail delivery, and other federal services will pause. The reason? New Jersey passed the state holiday before the federal government did. And state leaders decided it should have a fixed day every year: the third Friday of June.
- Hail that fell yesterday in Manchester and Toms River Ocean county measured at 0.25″ diameter which is is pea-sized hail. Lakehuurst had 0.75 which is Penny sized
- Lakewood Township's municipal offices, which are vastly "open to the public" by telephone only, will be closed this Friday, June 16 in honor of Juneteenth federal holiday(faa). Most banks will be closed this Monday

- A NJ state lawmaker has introduced legislation intended to speed up the investigations of the state watchdog tasked with holding wayward public officials and police accountable. Sen. Joe Cryan (D-Union) said the state Office of Public Integrity and Accountability takes too long to investigate misconduct and corruption cases and should explain their delay to state lawmakers. Under a bill he introduced Monday, the office would have to comply with the attorney general’s policy that requires law enforcement agencies to complete misconduct investigations within 180 days.

ReplyDeleteThe frum news media is trash YWN has become CNN with non stop Trump bashing and childish rhetoric
ReplyDeleteIt may be trash, but Trump bashing is not trash. The nauseating Trump support in the Yated is true trash.
DeleteThat's from the small issues of YWN Anything slightly more religious then modern orthodox is phrased as extreme
DeleteTrump bashing is Trash and against what yiddishkeit stands for. No one expects a president to be a tzadik with good middos. Rav Elchonon Wasserman said that when you make the bracha of shelo asani goy it means even the president of the USA.
DeleteWhat we look out forbis who was good for the Jews who was a ohev Yisrael. That is why the frum community at large support Trump. To bash him is kafoy Tova and puts klal Yisrael in danger.
YWN is filth shbfilth trash shbtrash it is not reflective of the general views of mainstream yeshivavworld crowd. It is a click batenasty rag that caters to the modox.
You have totally misrepresented Reb Elchanan. His point was that even the most 'oisgehalten' and wise of the Umos Ha'olam is not a Yid, and we make a Bracha on him.
DeleteThe president who is best for the Yidden is the one who does not botch up a pandemic response, closing down the response team and making outlandish claims, ending up with millions of unnecessary dead. The president who is best for Yidden is the one who does not start trade wars with China, causing runaway inflation that is still a problem for all of us. The president who is best for Yidden is the one who does not make the world see America as a volatile clown, paving the way for China to take over America's place in the world.
Moving an embassy is not a favor for any of us.
YWN is filth shebefilth, just like the Yated and its website.
I agree, Biden is the worst.
Deletedude, you have serious issues. first of all, how could trump cause "millions" of covid deaths if only about one million died (according to the cdc) from the pandemic in the u.s. i guess you are like that pariah cuomo who said that trump was to blame for every covid death, as if no one would have died if not for him, but even according to him trump couldn't be responsible for more deaths than actually occured.
Deletesecondly, you are blaming the inflation on trump? are you insane? that one doesn't even need refutaiton it's so obviously idiotic.
thirdly, trump was great on foreign policy and was respected - even if he wasn't loved - by all. biden made us a laughingstock to the world and pulled us into another foreign war quagmire.
Governor Cuomo le fils sent COVID positive patients into healthy nursing homes, killing the nursing home patients and staff.
DeleteThey still don't want to give out the numbers.
Remind me how Cuomo became the topic of discussion here
Delete2:44 brought him up.
DeleteAhh got it,you support Chinese infiltration to get worse
DeleteClassic Republican voters will be less likely to support him now if nominee in the general election
ReplyDeleteWhile his fans will rally to him in the primary ruining others chances
Thus,the whole arraignment is another wicked shrewd move from those who pull the strings from behind
So you think the law shouldn't apply to him? He is somehow different because he is running for office?
DeleteHow about anyone who does something illegal quickly run for president so that they shouldn't be indicted?
Trump is being treated just like anyone else who violates the Espionage Act, and the prison sentences for this law are quite high. He deserves no special treatment, and although he convinced everyone that he is somehow above the rules, he plays by his own rules etc., the rules are showing him that they were made for a reason.
It's all political, Biden had 86 boxes in his garage nobody cared. Every president takes stuff, then they go thru it and give the archives what they need. Hillary erased 30,000 emails and destroyed 5 phones, nobody cared. Espionage is not a president holding papers. It's a misapplied law, and that why everyone sees it for what it is.
DeleteThe difference is, others gave them back immediately. Trump fought to keep them.
DeleteThe Espionage Act is the name of the law. Nobody said he was a spy.
This is exactly what the Espionage Act was made to prevent. Trump's treatment is no different to anyone else's. They investigated Hilary and did not find sufficient proof for a case. In Trump's case, many respected lawyers, including Trump's allies and friends, the evidence seems watertight. If they would not prosecute, it would be a travesty of judgement.
They probably should indict , nevertheless it is stupendously naive to presume the choice of season now is a shred other than politics.
DeleteThose people have zero scruples whatsoever left and play yours like a guitar
Adorno & Marcuse disciples at their best
"To open paper street Pineview Avenue For Emergency Access To CHEMED rt 9 south off Chestnut" this was the ploy. Get another free parcel. I would bet this was their plan all along.
ReplyDeleteThe tax increase is absolutely insane. As a relative newcomer to LW I’m stunned by the complacency of the populace here. $800 per average household??!!?? Just beyond comprehension.
ReplyDeleteWe kept begging the township to stop building more developments for outsiders. Every new house built for outsiders causes our taxes to go up even more. But the township didn't care - they wanted the Brooklyn people to keep moving in, because the developers were making big bucks. So we just gave up and don't care anymore. And even if we did care, there's nothing to do because nobody listens to us.
