@ColbyMannionNJ Thank you. Recap info is always appreciated. Alex is the only one I've heard of.

Republicans in NJ running for Senate! Alex Zdan Former TV reporter turned candidate. Closest thing the GOP has to a recognizable name in this race. Needs more exposure. Justin Murphy Small-town NJ official, repeat candidate. Ran before. Didn’t break through. Richard Tabor State trooper stepping into politics. Law-and-order background, zero statewide profile. Robert Lebovics Physician and longtime candidate. Has run for office multiple times over the years.

@Kristinartz No. You're helping the new cat find love too 😻

I just lost my beloved cat, and my sister offered to take me to adopt another. I feel numb and unsure if it's too soon. Am I a bad owner for considering it?

@KimPrather1 @mtaibbi Eww...never seen a man do that in my 70 years.

@mtaibbi I just wish they’d clean up after themselves when they miss the target in the bathroom. It just amazes me that they can pee all over the place and just walk away and leave it.

Question for women: what do you hate most about men, and what's the worst example of typically male behavior you can remember? Non-criminal division. Asking unironically.

@Gentleman_Ways @Saorsa1776 A longtime favorite of mine.

Write it on your heart by Ralph Waldo Emerson Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

@Kristinartz Jolly

Please give him a name starting with the letter J, he is a male cat.

When the prophet Elijah was suicidal and exhausted, God didn’t send a sermon. He didn’t rebuke him for a lack of faith. ​God sent an angel with a snack. He let him sleep. Then he fed him again. ​God treated the "dust" (the body) before He spoke to the "breath" (the spirit). ​Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do today is take a nap or eat a meal.

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact). And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts. Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income. 😡😡😡✅

@cabinsmountain My dream

A New Way to Live Together What if the future of family living isn't about moving farther apart... but building closer together? Imagine a piece of land where everyone has their own home, their own space, and their own privacy -yet parents, siblings, kids, and loved ones are only a short walk away. No long drives for Sunday dinners. No worrying about aging parents living alone. No strangers raising your children while family lives miles away. This kind of family compound keeps not only memories close, but also wealth, land, and opportunities within the family. Shared gardens, shared meals, shared support... and a lifestyle built on connection instead of distance.

@NancyMace The more you add to the list the less chance you have of succeeding

Time for some “House” cleaning. The following members of Congress have disqualified themselves through their own conduct: Tony Gonzalez Cory Mills Eric Swalwell Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick They should resign immediately.

@NJGov Well that's awful news!

Today, we are announcing plans to lift the statewide ban on self-service gas stations in New Jersey. We encourage New Jerseyans to familiarize themselves with gas pumps as this change is in effect immediately, April 1, 2026.
