NJCU allows students into building with asbestos

 When I worked at New Jersey City University in Jersey City, in spring 2022 the vice president of enrollment management moved the career center (at the time, one person, me, although that's another story) into Grossnickle Hall. As you can see from the attached pictures there were broken tiles on the floor outside my office, and an entire section that that was broken but covered by a mat. I filed a complaint with the state of NJ; inspectors visited and tested the tiles for asbestos. The tests came back positive, and only then did the acting president bring in someone to repair the tiles. So for years NJCU had students coming in and out of classes in this building, and never bothered to repair the tiles. Former president Sue Henderson was too busy taking trips to China to pay attention to what existed on her own campus, and her vice presidents didn't care about the students, so this easily fixable situation went on.

Democrats & Republicans are phonies

 It's time for Democrats to stop saying they are pro-labor and pro-union. They are not. it's also time for Republicans to stop saying they are against people's tax money being wasted. They don't care.

If politicians would spend more time overseeing what college administrators were doing on their campuses instead of letting them run amuck and do silly things that have no chance of success, then staff at colleges wouldn't have to worry about losing their jobs and how they're going to pay their bills because of a bunch of crap they knew nothing about and had nothing to do with.

For Democrats saving people's jobs should be their priority. It isn't. They would have come up with a solution instead of having layoffs, if they really were pro-labor and pro-union. But Democrats like Angela McKnight are unable to. Or they just don't want to. So stop saying you're pro-labor and pro-union.

Republicans are the ones who got rid of the NJ Department of Higher Education because they believe in less oversight. Less oversight has resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money being wasted at the soon to be defunct NJCU. Then you have Republican legislators like Bill Singer asking why no one was held accountable for the financial mess created by the irresponsible former president and the "leaders" in her cabinet. Well Bill, if there's no oversight, then no one is going to held accountable. Any dope can figure that out. But that is what you wanted, so stop whining.

So do layoffs and shrink the staff. When there's less staff students get less service, and less for their money, but politicians like Angela McKnight and Bill Singer don't care about that either.

Hey CNN: change the name of "Crossfire" to "The Most Boring People in America"

I don't sit and watch TV news. I might have it on in the background if I'm doing something.  I never have talk shows on as background though, nor do I sit and watch them. Or listen to talk radio. To hear pundits and regular folks ramble on about various conspiracies is annoying. Plus I've got better things to do with my time.

I did watch a few minutes on CNN's "Crossfire."  Whew. Talk about boring. Liberal Van Jones and conservative S.E. Cupp make a few bland points about a topic and then smile at each other. Okay. And the point is...what?  Why anyone in the United States would watch these dullards is beyond me. Except for a person has insomnia. Crossfire would be a cure.

It's no wonder that Crossfire's return was the brilliant idea of one Jeff Zucker, the dope who kept Jay Leno on at 10:00 p.m. for an hour-long variety show, and then had Conan O'Brien doing pretty much the same show at 11:35 for the Tonight Show. Funny how TV executives make a lot of money, and cost the networks they work for billions of dollars, for making these silly decisions. Come on, at least baseball players have a skill!  TV executives don't seem to have any skills.

Do us a favor, CNN.  Just go back to reporting news and keep these ridiculous pundits off of our television screens, and let them do stuff like write their own blogs.
