Big news coming from Donald Trump. Big. Uuuuge. I have the news before anyone else. Donald Trump is running for president.
When Trump declared to the Republican Party of Iowa’s Lincoln Dinner that he is going to make an announcement in June that’s “going to surprise a lot of people,” he wasn’t preparing to launch his long-awaited candidacy. He was simply doing what he always does: Promote the Donald. Generate headlines. Get people talking.
His June announcement is guaranteed to raise all of the excitement of such previous bids for publicity as “Donald Trump Announces Men’s Fragrance” (March 24), “Donald Trump Announces Phil Mickelson Villa at Trump National Doral” (March 5), “Donald Trump Announces Florida International University as new Home for Miss Universe” (Dec. 11) and the game-changing, envelope-pushing, earth’s-orbit-reversing, “Donald Trump Announces Partnership with Prestwick Airport” (Nov. 14).

The ex-Marine who organized an anti-Muslim rally outside the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix Friday evening said he’s going into hiding after receiving several death threats.
“This is proof tyranny is in America,” said Jon Ritzheimer, revealing he’s come under siege since taking to Facebook to organize the event.
Up to 500 protesters gathered in 100-degree heat — some clutching assault rifles, American flags and placards — in the latest flashpoint in the U.S. anti-Islam movement.
Ritzheimer planned the protest, billed as “Freedom of Speech Rally,” in response to an ISIS-inspired attack outside a controversial Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest May 3 in Texas.
Two gunmen were shot dead by SWAT team members as they attempted to storm the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, an event organized by anti-Islamic activist Pamela Geller.
But now Ritzheimer claims he’s been targeted by terrorists.
Veteran CBS News anchor Bob Schieffer blew the mask off the liberal media’s “unbiased journalism” charade by saying it’s “harder and harder” to tell people “what they need to know.”
After a 46-year career with CBS, Schieffer is hosting his last “Face the Nation” Sunday.
Schieffer told “CBS This Morning” on Friday that since he began his career, a “revolution in communications” has turned Washington D.C. “upside-down.”
“We now don’t know where people get their news,” Schieffer said. “But what we do know is they’re bombarded with information 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
In a last-ditch defense of his liberal colleagues, he said that mainstream journalism’s job is to “tell people what we think is relevant in what they need to know. That is the job of the journalist and I have to say it’s harder and harder.”
Americans are increasingly turning to alternative media for their news, sparking speculation that the mainstream media is dying.
A 2014 Pew Research study found that cable news audiences declined 11 percent in 2013, with the most liberal of the three cable news channels, MSNBC, leading the dip.
The left-leaning Public Policy Polling found in another poll that “35 percent said they trusted Fox news more than any other outlet, followed by PBS at 14 percent, ABC at 11 percent, CNN at 10 percent, CBS at 9 percent, 6 percent for MSNBC and Comedy Central, and just 3 percent for NBC.”
Blogger Michael Snyder concluded that the mainstream media doesn’t know the true cause of its own decline.
They should do that in Ridgewood instead of the assisted living facility the Kensington which is like a hospital and would involve over-the-top amount of traffic. Several shifts during the day. and night, Kensington will house over 90 residents and each resident including food preparation and basic need care will need about five staff members per resident.
Also additional medical staff on premises. Remember were talkin people who cannot take care of themselves PLUS Alzheimer residents, dementia residents.There is a new assisted living being built in Wyckoff at The Christian Health Care facility. Plus there are lots of other places.

The consequences of the ‘Ferguson effect’ are already appearing. The main victims of growing violence will be the inner-city poor.
By HEATHER MAC DONALD
May 29, 2015 6:27 p.m. ET
The nation’s two-decades-long crime decline may be over. Gun violence in particular is spiraling upward in cities across America. In Baltimore, the most pressing question every morning is how many people were shot the previous night. Gun violence is up more than 60% compared with this time last year, according to Baltimore police, with 32 shootings over Memorial Day weekend. May has been the most violent month the city has seen in 15 years.
In Milwaukee, homicides were up 180% by May 17 over the same period the previous year. Through April, shootings in St. Louis were up 39%, robberies 43%, and homicides 25%. “Crime is the worst I’ve ever seen it,” said St. Louis Alderman Joe Vacarro at a May 7 City Hall hearing.
Murders in Atlanta were up 32% as of mid-May. Shootings in Chicago had increased 24% and homicides 17%. Shootings and other violent felonies in Los Angeles had spiked by 25%; in New York, murder was up nearly 13%, and gun violence 7%.
There’s a myth among Hillary Clinton supporters that decades of experience has made the former secretary of state the most pragmatic choice for president in 2016. And like most fairy tales, it conveniently glosses over the heroine’s flaws: her 31,000-plus missing emails (the subject of a lawsuit by the Associated Press), questions about foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation, and direct donations to Ms. Clinton from big banks, including Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan.
But there is an alternative. Rather than rallying around someone who can’t seem to elude perpetual media scrutiny, the person all Democrats should pay close attention to is former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley who is poised to officially join the race Saturday. The former Baltimore mayor and two-term governor offers a genuine alternative to the status quo within Washington and a real threat to any GOP challenger — especially Jeb Bush.
Mr. O’Malley, unlike Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, isn’t linked to perpetual scandal and criticism, nor is he beholden to foreign donors, investment banks or a family surname. He rightfully stated that the presidency isn’t “some crown to be passed between two families” and compared to Ms. Clinton, Mr. O’Malley offers a genuinely progressive outlook on American politics. When both candidates are analyzed, it’s apparent that one caters to poll-driven centrism while the other is far more confident in a progressive vision for America.
Who is running for president in 2016?
While Ms. Clinton voted for the invasion of Iraq, Mr. O’Malley has been a longtime critic of the Iraq War. As governor, Mr. O’Malley sponsored and signed a same-sex marriage bill when Hillary Clinton was overtly against gay marriage. He also signed a marijuana decriminalization bill, while Ms. Clinton has said she was against the decriminalization of marijuana. Martin O’Malley wants to bring back Glass-Steagall, called the Trans-Pacific Partnership a “bad trade deal,” and urged the Senate in 2014 to reject the Keystone XL pipeline. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, once referred to TPP as “the gold standard in trade agreements,”and she still hasn’t taken a stance on the Keystone XL pipeline.
A tense religious confrontation at a Phoenix mosque avoided violence Friday, despite concerns the standoff would escalate.
Law enforcement officials kept watch over about 500 protesters at the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix, The Associated Press reported.
That total divided into roughly 250 participants for each side, AP said.
The initial rally was organized by a Phoenix Marine who fought in the Iraq War and sees Islam as a religion promoting violence, according to AP.
The Marine and his supporters arrived at the mosque with American flags, assault rifles, pistols and cartoons depicting Muhammad, Islam’s holiest prophet.
The event sparked a counter-protest, AP said, made up mainly of supporters of the Phoenix Muslim community and other demonstrators preaching tolerance.
That group carried signs that advocated for peace and love in the community.
Dozens of law enforcement officials served as a buffer between each side.
Liberals side with Islamists who threatened to drink blood of mosque protesters
On Friday, hundreds participated in a protest held at a Phoenix mosque that reportedly included a “draw Muhammad” contest. Islamists, however, issued threats on Twitter, including one that threatened to drink the blood of protesters if Muhammad was drawn, Breitbart.com said. Meanwhile, a number of liberal counter-protesters took a stand in support of the Islamists on Friday, both in front of the mosque and online, using the hashtag “#NotMyAmerica.”
“WARNING IF U LOVE UR CHILDREN DONT BRING THEM IN THE EVENT TODAY THE WILL SPLIT OF BLOOD IN THE EVENT OF MUHAMMAD SAW DRAWINGS (sic),” said a Twitter account that has since been suspended. “WHO EVER LOVE HER OR HIS CHILD DONT TAKE THEM IN THE EVENT WE PROMISE U WE WILL DRINK UR BLOOD (sic),” the account said Thursday.
The same person also issued a threatening tweet promising the event would not finish without bloodshed. “WE WILL PAY U BACK TODAY THE EVENT WONT FINISH WITHOUT KUFFAR BLOOD WE PROMISE U DAT,” the Twitter account said.
“If an attack happens at that contest and loads of people die you brought upon yourselves, I won’t care in the slightest,” said a tweet from an account called Shariah will Rule. “You stupid kuffar clearly did not take from the Charlie Hebdo attacks. You guys are truly deaf, dumb & blind,” the same account said.
The #NotMyAmerica campaign, the Huffington Post said, was organized by the Campaign to Take On Hate, a group Antonia Blumberg said “works to challenge misconceptions of Muslims and Arab Americans.” The group even went so far as to provide sample tweets for those who couldn’t think of something to say. The group, however, said nothing about the threats leveled at event organizer Jon Ritzheimer and his family.

THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
RIDGEWOOD — Mia Barbera has fond memories of the last time Ridgewood High School won a state-sectional softball title. Even fresher in her mind is the way the Maroons’ most recent playoff runs have ended.
The junior shortstop singled and scored in the first inning of Tuesday’s North 1, Group 4 semifinal at Veterans Field. That, plus the hitting of Emilie Morse, the two-hit pitching of Lisa Higgins and some airtight defense, propelled No. 1 seed RHS past No. 4 Livingston, 1-0, and into its first sectional final since 2009.
Weather permitting, Ridgewood (24-4) will host No. 2 Morris Knolls (24-6) in the title game today at 2 p.m. The Golden Eagles have eliminated the Maroons from three of the past four postseasons, including last year in the sectional semis, 4-3.
“We’re definitely ready to beat [Morris Knolls] this year,” said Barbera. “We don’t want to lose to them again.”

THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
Interest in Ridgewood’s annual dog rabies clinic, already one of the most popular events on the village calendar, has increased exponentially this spring, largely in part to recent, uncommon wildlife encounters.
A lengthy line of leashed pooches and their masters snaked across the Recycling Center property two Wednesdays ago, each four-legged creature waiting for its free inoculation against a virus that, if contracted, is oftentimes fatal for domestic pets once symptoms occur.
The booster shot is considered the best protection against rabies. Nearly 120 dogs registered by the village received the vaccination during the clinic, according to Dawn Cetrulo, Ridgewood’s supervisor of health.
Though the final tally was slightly less than the number of canines vaccinated last year, dog owners preached the ongoing importance of safeguarding their best friends.
“You’ll never know what might happen,” Rachelle Thomsen said, while rubbing the squared head of her retriever mix, Ronnie. “[Dogs] can be out exploring in the backyard, and at the same time, an animal with rabies can wander back there, too. You want to make sure your dog is safe.”

GLEN ROCK GAZETTE
The Glen Rock Planning Board is addressing a potential borough ordinance that would permit the rezoning of appropriate borough properties for multiple dwelling senior citizen housing.
Planners met on May 4 to discuss and possibly recommend a draft ordinance to the Borough Council, which if approved would legally establish an “S-2” zone that could be applied to borough tracts deemed appropriate, in response to individual applications. The only option now open to developers of such projects is to apply for a use variance, according to board secretary Nancy Spiller.
But she told the Glen Rock Gazette last week that no ordinance recommendation emerged from the May 4 session, as members opted to address concerns over ordinance content and language to the board’s professional advisors.
The group includes borough planning consultant Christine Cofone, Planning Board attorney Stuart Liebman, borough engineer Al Roughgarden, construction official Brian Frugis, zoning officer Mark Berninger and Spiller as land use administrator.
“We are working to have a revised ordinance draft by the time the Planning Board is scheduled to meet again on June 1, so they can again consider it,” Spiller said.
