“Get me on the stage and get your popcorn ready.” — Chris Christie
Don’t sell Chris Christie short
Peggy Noonan calls him “a wholly undervalued executive talent.”
“People forget what a good governor he was …. In eight years (2010-18) in deep blue New Jersey he capped property taxes, used the line-item veto to limit spending, increased school funding, got more charter schools, and got the state through the true disaster of superstorm Sandy.
“… He won public-employee pension reform … despite huge and intense public union opposition.”
And reformed Camden police: “Ten years later murder is down 63%, shootings down 68%, and robbery down 70%. No violence after George Floyd.”

It was a rock (for gawdsakes)!
No books or poetry could protect it. Twelve thousand years ago, a melting glacier deposited a boulder between two lakes it created during last continental ice age. On 08-06-21, the University of Wisconsin loaded that 42-ton rock on a flatbed … Continue reading
