@nypost Finally CA doing something right!

[Jay Costa @JayCostaUSA]

🚨 WOW - Former NJ Governor Phil Murphy QUIETLY INSTALLED his own CHILDREN to a little known STATE BOARD that he created RIGHT before leaving office.

On January 5th 2026, The Murphy Admin touted the creation of the so-called "New Jersey Innovation Authority" which they claimed would “further New Jersey’s reputation as a national leader in innovation.”

According to Politico, Murphy installed many HIGH LEVEL legal and policy advisors to the board, along with his OWN DAUGHTER, Emma, and SON Charles to the 13-member board without anyone noticing.

What Qualifications do these two 20-something year olds have to control YOUR Tax Dollars and Resources??

ABSOLUTELY NONE!

Emma Murphy, 26, is currently an MBA student at UPenn and graduated from the University of Virginia in 2022 where she majored in English and minored in data science, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Charles Murphy, 24, graduated from Princeton University in 2023 where he majored in German, according to an online bio. His senior thesis was on the influence of soccer in Germany. LOL 😂

Why do DEMOCRATS continuously do this? Because they feel ENTITLED to your vote and they KNOW they will NEVER be held accountable!

NJ Democrats have lost ALL touch with REALITY. They RAISE your taxes, WASTE your money, and blame YOU for the FAILED result. Yet they KEEP getting ELECTED!

For the LOVE of ALL that is good, STOP voting for these people!

Keep Fighting 🇺🇸

In 2020, a week of groceries cost $150. Today it's $300.

Washington says “inflation is cooling.”

Your bank account says they're lying.

Here's what actually happened to your money, and why both parties don't want you to know:

🚨NEW JERSEY: Did you see your electric bill this summer? For most, it TRIPLED!

Why? Because of Mikie Sherrill & Phil Murphy’s RADICAL energy agenda that’s SHUTTING DOWN power plants and wasting MILLIONS on offshore wind projects (all of which were cancelled).

Black Sabbath were awarded the Freedom of the City of Birmingham at a ceremony in the Council House on Saturday.

At the ceremony, the original band members of Terence “Geezer” Butler, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, and Bill Ward were presented with their Freedom of the City scrolls and medals by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Councillor Zafar Iqbal.

The Freedom of the City honour is the one of the oldest traditional ceremonies in the country and recognises people’s exceptional service to the city.

This honour recognises Black Sabbath’s significance to the cultural and musical identity of Birmingham, their strong association with the city and continued influence as pioneers of heavy metal in both Birmingham and beyond.

As part of the Freedom of the City, each band member received the title of Honorary Freeman and an engraving of their names on the Freedom of the City marble board was also unveiled at the ceremony.

The scrolls were produced by local company Hilton Studios and the medals were produced by Jewellery Quarter based business Fattorini.
The medal design was created by competition winner Toby Williams, a student studying in the School of Jewellery at Birmingham City University.

Toby’s winning design was inspired by the themes of industry and community, reflecting the people of Birmingham

Black Sabbath formed in Aston in 1968, going on to create eight albums and selling over 75 million albums worldwide. They are considered pioneers of the heavy metal genre and are one of the most commercially successful heavy metal bands.

They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, awarded a Lifetime Ivor Novello Songwriting Award in 2015 and were presented with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019.

Speaking on receipt of the award, Terence “Geezer” Butler said: “This is a great working class city, and we’re all working class, from Aston. We weren’t given a chance when we started out, but Birmingham has always been behind us. People used to make fun of our accents, but we’re all proud Birmingham people and we love this city. It’s one of the greatest cities ever, it’s given the world so much and we’re proud to be here.”

Tony Iommi added: “It’s a great thing to receive. Birmingham is our home, and we love what Birmingham has done for us. We’ve got the bridge and the bench, things like that. We’re very grateful.”

Ozzy Osbourne said: “I first put an advert in a music store in town. If these guys hadn’t come to my door, I wouldn’t be sitting here now. It seems to have flown by so quickly. It’s amazing. I think about my dad, who went into debt to buy me a microphone. If only he could be here now. I think he would be very proud. I’m a Brummie and I always will be a Brummie. Birmingham Forever!”

Bill Ward added: “It’s completely overwhelming. I’m so proud to be an Astonian. That’s where I got my attitude. It was a blessed – and cursed! – to meet Tony when I was 15, and I’m so proud that I got to know Geezer and Ozzy. They’re my brothers. I love them very much and we love our city very much.”

The engravings in the Council House building joins Black Sabbath bridge on Broad Street as a permanent tribute to the band and their accomplishments.

Cllr Sharon Thompson, Deputy Leader of the city council said “From the streets of Aston to global success, the ceremony has been a fitting celebration of their achievements and connection to our city, showcasing the band’s incredible career as pioneers of heavy metal and recognising their continued legacy as part of Birmingham’s rich musical identity.

Black Sabbath are global ambassadors of our city, and their music continues to inspire musicians across the world, so it has been wonderful to recognise the band with this honour.”

Councillor Zafar Iqbal, Lord Mayor of Birmingham: “It is a pleasure to pronounce Terence “Geezer” Butler, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne, and Bill Ward as Freemen of the City of Birmingham.

The Freedom of the City is one of the oldest civic honours

At Senator Grassley’s request, President Milei agreed to open Argentina's archives so the world can finally see how Swiss banks helped fund and coordinate Nazis escaping Europe after the war, then covered it up for decades. 

Yet another example of the global financial system elites participating in the worst crimes in human history. 

Massive story unfolding here

Ruby Ridge and the Cold Hard Truth

Randy Weaver never did trust a man who wore a suit. Said they smelled like ink and bad deals. Said they lived in a world where paper meant more than dirt, and that alone made them dangerous. Vicki agreed, though she put it in holier terms. “God said the world’s gonna burn,” she’d say, her voice steady as the wind before a storm. “Best we’re on high ground when it does.” And so, high ground they took, moving to Ruby Ridge like Adam and Eve stepping into the wilderness, except this time, the snake was the government and the fruit was a sawed-off shotgun.

Vicki built their life up there with hands hardened by wood smoke and scripture. No television, no modern schools. Just survival, prophecy, and a long stretch of Idaho sky. The kids knew how to trap, to shoot, to skin a deer before they could write their names. They didn’t need much. Only the land. And each other.

And maybe, just maybe, a little bit of luck.

But luck, as it turned out, wasn’t something they had in great supply.

It started, as these things often do, with a mistake. A bad deal. Randy cut a shotgun barrel too short for a man who turned out to be an informant. The government called it a crime. Randy called it a setup. He missed a court date, whether by accident or design, and that was all the excuse they needed. Men in uniforms don’t like to be ignored.

So they came creeping, crawling through the trees, watching, waiting.

And then, the shooting started.

First to go was Striker, the dog. Shot in the woods by a Marshal, his bark cut short in the same breath as a rifle report. Sammy—fourteen years old, full of fire and grief—ran toward the sound, shotgun shaking in his hands. Then another shot. Sammy fell. Dead before he hit the ground. Kevin Harris screamed and fired back. Someone else went down. A man in a badge.

Blood for blood.

After that, the mountain turned still. The way a river slows right before a flood.

The next day, the Feds brought in snipers. They had their orders: shoot on sight. No warnings. No negotiations. Just pull the trigger and let God sort it out. A man named Horiuchi took his position, looking through a scope at a family that wanted nothing to do with his world.

Randy stepped outside, just for a moment. Maybe to check the woods, maybe just to breathe. The sniper fired, caught him in the arm, knocked him down like a rag doll in the wind. Kevin tried to help, tried to pull him back inside.

Then, another shot.

It went through the cabin door, straight into Vicki’s skull. She was holding their baby. Didn’t even have time to gasp. Just dropped, like a tree felled in one clean cut.

The baby cried. The rest of them didn’t.

The standoff lasted eleven days. Eleven days of government men standing at the base of the mountain, waiting for the family to surrender. Eleven days of fear, of hunger, of grief so thick it turned the air heavy. The mountain seemed to hold its breath, the trees leaning in to listen.

And then, it was over.

Randy came down, empty-eyed and hollow. Kevin, too. The baby survived, but she’d never know her mother’s voice. The courts threw out most of the charges, handed Randy a slap on the wrist, then wrote a check big enough to buy back silence.

But silence wasn’t for sale.

People talked. Talked about government overreach, about tyranny, about men with rifles deciding who lived and who didn’t. Talked about how justice wasn’t justice when the ones holding the guns never had to answer for pulling the trigger. Talked about how the rules only seemed to matter when they worked in one direction.

And Ruby Ridge? It just sat there, watching.

Mountains don’t forget.

Neither do people.

There are 5 democrats on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

3 of them are up for retention THIS November.

So, if you vote ❌NO to retention for Donohue, Dougherty, & Wecht, you will literally kick them off the bench.

Your vote in Pennsylvania this November can change everything.

The Amazon counterfeit product scandal is way worse than I thought. It’s massive. I wouldn’t hold the stock until it gets sorted out.

100% of the Dilbert calendars on Amazon are fake. I don’t sell the calendar on Amazon. And Amazon has an (intentionally) broken system for reporting the fakes. The fakes come faster than the reporting system.

I’m hearing incredible stories of Amazon abusing American small business owners by essentially being accomplices in stealing their work and giving it to China. The system is so robust that ANY successful American product China can copy gets knocked off.

More on that story today.
