RESULT: James Solomon will be the next mayor of Jersey City.
Solomon, running on a more progressive lane with WFP support, has easily defeated the establishment candidate Jim McGreevey, the former governor who resigned in scandal two decades ago.

Cleaned out the fridge. I feel like after you do that, an elf should appear and clean the rest of the kitchen.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

Can a double knitter please answer a question for me? Do you actually knit both sides of the fabric? No purling? I was watching someone DK and best as I could make out it seemed like that was the process. If so, I might have to find my needle set and blow off the dust sometime in the near future 🧶

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!
