“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.”

The New ‘Woke’ Times
The NY Times let itself become hopelessly slanted. An excerpt from “Slanted: How the news media taught us to love censorship and hate journalism” by Sharyl Attkisson: There’s no more exemplary sign of the death-of-the-news-as-we-once-knew-it than the public unraveling of … Continue reading
