Sen Bob Menendez (D-NJ) Allegedly Under Investigation By FBI For Sex With Underage Prostitutes Interesting ABC apparently knew this information prior to his re-election in November, but it didn’t come out. Recall that this is the same Menendez who had an illegal alien intern sex offender whose arrest was delayed by the DHS till after the election as well. Of course, keeping Democrat Bob Menendez in the Senate would have nothing to do with any of these decisions. Via Fox News: The FBI is declining to comment on newly emerged documents that appear to show the agency investigating allegations that Sen. Bob Menendez “received the services of young prostitutes” while in the Dominican Republic — a charge the senator’s office has rejected for months. His office continued to dismiss the report after dozens of pages of emails were posted online this week, appearing to show the FBI communicating with the individual claiming to know about Menendez’ liaisons. The emails refer to an “investigation,” and said “we have been able to confirm most of” the information provided and “know that you are providing accurate information.” It’s unclear what “information” that line was referring to. The source’s emails, though, along with recent reports from The Daily Caller, allege that Menendez, D-N.J., during trips to the Dominican Republic with a campaign contributor, saw prostitutes. Two women told the Caller, in a story published in November, that he paid them for sex. “This is the same unsubstantiated garbage that’s been peddled for months,” a spokeswoman for Menendez told FoxNews.com in an email Friday. FBI spokesman Jason Pack said he could not confirm whether there was an investigation. “DOJ policy prohibits us from confirming the existence or not of an investigation,” he said. However, Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, confirmed to FoxNews.com that her organization forwarded information on this issue to the FBI’s Washington office and Justice Department criminal division on July 17, 2012.
NY Times To Harry Reid: Remove Menendez As Chair Of Foreign Relations Committee More when pigs fly-NY Times calling out Democratic Senator. Via Breitbart: The New York Times has called on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to remove New Jersey Democratic Senator Bob Menendez from his chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations committee. Under the editorial headline “Mr. Menendez’s Ethics Problem,” the newspaper said Menendez “was never a distinguished choice for chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the position he ascended to this month by virtue of seniority.” “Concerns about that quality gap have sharply escalated amid new disclosures about Mr. Menendez’s use of his position to advance the financial interests of a friend and big donor,” the Times wrote. “Instead of trying to protect Mr. Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat, the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, needs to remove his gavel, at least pending credible resolution by the Senate Ethics Committee of the swirling accusations of misconduct.”
Hey George! We can send you a CARE package of real booze if you get desperate... Scores Of NJ Bars/Restaurants, Including Many TGI Fridays, Busted For Substituting Top Scotch With Rubbing Alcohol, Other Things Via Daily Mail: At one bar, a mixture that included rubbing alcohol and caramel coloring was sold as scotch. In another, premium liquor bottles were refilled with water – and apparently not even clean water at that. State officials provided those new details Thursday on raids they conducted a day earlier as part of a yearlong investigation dubbed Operation Swill. Twenty-nine New Jersey bars and restaurants, including 13 TGI Fridays, were accused of substituting cheap booze – or worse – for top-shelf brands while charging premium prices. As part of Operation Swill, investigators collected 1,000 open bottles of vodka, gin, rum, scotch, whiskey and tequila from the wells of the bars, state Attorney General Jeffrey Chiesa said. ‘This alleged scheme is a dishonest ruse to increase profits and is a slap in the face of the consumer,’ Chiesa said. Within seven days, the establishments must turn over records to help state authorities determine how many patrons were overcharged and by how much. They also will have to inform the state which employees were at work the days samples were covertly taken earlier this year. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2330116/Scores-TGI-Fridays-New-Jersey-bars-busted-substituting-cheap-alcohol-shelf-scotch-statewide-crackdown.html
I'm desperate! I will accept Tito's Vodka ( distilled in Austin Texas ) for which I created the the following marketing tag line: "Killed more Mexicans than Sam "By God" Houston" or Woodford Reserve. Thank you!
Moronic “Jersey Shore” Reality Star Snooki “Prays” Her Son Turns Out To Be Gay… Slow news day so I figured we could have some fun ripping on this moron. Via Newsbusters: Most pregnant moms pick out names for their kids. “Snooki” wants to pick out sexual orientation. Nicole Polizzi, known for her role as “Snooki” in the filthy reality-show “Jersey Shore,” casually mentioned the other day that she was “so grateful” for those who “support the LGBT youth so they have someone there for them because I’m praying I have a gay little boy one day.” Wait, what? That’s right. Not only does Snooki “consider herself bisexual” – she also hopes that the child she’s having with her fiancé will be gay. She made this disturbing announcement at an event hosted by the “anti-bullying” (and very pro-LGBT) group, “Trevor Project.” Her co-star Jenni Farley was there to reinforce Polizzi’s love of all things gay. “We’re huge supporters of the LGBT community,” said Farley, “ … So we would do anything to help them and to protect them. We feel like moms when it comes to our gays. We really do.” http://newsbusters.org/blogs/lauren-enk/2013/06/21/jersey-shore-star-prays-she-ll-have-gay-son
Conde Nast: Newark NJ Most Unfriendly City In World Says Of the ten cities listed, Newark NJ is described as being the most unhelpful and unfriendly city in the world – it beats out cities like Islamabad, Pakistan and Detroit, Michigan. I wonder if Democratic Mayor Cory Booker will continue to say he’s creating an ideal and safe community for black Americans in Newark. Via Newark Patch: Newark has often gotten a bad rap. Now add the distinction of being the world’s most unfriendliest city, according to Conde Nast Traveler. The magazine selected its 10 friendliest and 10 unfriendliest cities in the U.S. for this year and placed Branson, Mo. at the top of the smiley-face list — and Newark as No. 1 on the opposite extreme as the most unfriendliest city in the entire nation. http://newarknj.patch.com/groups/around-town/p/newark-unfriendliest-city-in-the-us--and-the-world--says-conde-nast
One of our local radio personalities Frank Beckman was commenting about that article and welcomed comments from listeners. He was somewhat surprised by Detroit's no. 8 ranking. I got him to chuckle when I asked him "Frank what kind of welcome could be more warm than a giant black fist?" I also suggested that they should open the fist and turn the arm upside down. It would be a great symbol for handout city.
Columbia Journalism Review On Cory Booker’s Ties To Silicon Valley: What 21st Century Corruption Looks Like You mean he doesn’t leap over tall buildings and rescue kitty cats in a single bound? Awwww…. Via Columbia Journalism Review: The New York Times’s disturbing story on Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s ties with Silicon Valley is what 21st century corruption looks like. Booker, the leading Democratic candidate for an open New Jersey Senate seat, has been moonlighting as chairman of yet another social video startup thing—one with the backing of plutocrat patrons like Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, Oprah, and Reid Hoffman, who also give campaign donations to the rising political star. That blatant cronyism has given public servant Booker an asset called Waywire, which is supposedly worth between $1 million and $5 million, and which he forgot to disclose in his campaign filings until recently (it’s unclear if the disclosure came because of an impending NYT story or if the NYT story came because of the disclosure). Booker also took months to respond to Star-Ledger requests earlier this year regarding how much money he’s made giving speeches. That turned out to be $1.3 million, half of which he has given to local charities. http://www.cjr.org/the_audit/nyts_excellent_booker_startup.php
