Lonegan: ‘We’re going to send Booker back to his parents’ house in Harrington Park’
METUCHEN – GOP Senate candidate Steve Lonegan opened his main headquarters here this morning, bashing Obama Democrats, dismissing Newark Mayor Cory Booker as a “failed mayor,” and lustily embracing the movement conservative wing of the Republican Party.
“You pick a mentor when you go to the U.S. Senate,” the Republican front-runner told a roomful of backers. “My two choices are Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.” (Pizarro/PolitickerNJ)
Democratic hopefuls trade jabs, criticize absent Booker in first Senate debate
In the first debate of New Jersey’s U.S. Senate campaign — a race in which the candidates have largely avoided directly attacking one another — the Democratic Senate hopefuls ratcheted up their rhetoric.
Rep. Frank Pallone went after the other congressman in the race, Rep. Rush Holt, suggesting that Holt’s proposals were unrealistic. (Linhorst/The Record)
Government Promises to Stop Lying Because of Drudge Report Spotlight
Shows the power of the real media in breaking through the electronic Berlin Wall

July 28, 2013
In a groveling public display earlier this week, the Department of Defense announced plans to increase its public affairs efforts due to the devastating effect independent media is having on the Pentagon’s ability to control its news, more specifically, its ability to quash negative news stories before they go viral.
On Thursday, the DoD bemoaned DrudgeReport.com and the fact that, because of citizen journalists, social media and other online platforms reporting news in real time, the public is more quickly becoming aware of the constant patterns of contradictions and habitual lying by a government long ago captured by a group of corrupt interests.

In Bergen, GOP freeholders call for review of Marcus county contracts
Bergen County Republican Freeholders John Mitchell, John Felice and Maura DeNicola want Bergen County government to review any current contracts that may be in force with companies owned or operated by Alan Marcus, as well as for a prohibition on any future contracts with the same, according to a release issued by the BCRO.
“We were shocked by the information brought to light by the Bergen Record regarding Mr. Marcus’ recent actions and want to ensure that such accusations can never be brought up again,” said Felice. “That’s why we are calling for our Democratic colleagues to join us in calling for this review and future prohibition.” (Pizarro/PolitickerNJ)

Saudi Prince: Fracking Is Threat To Kingdom
Prince knows what American Media and Politicians fail to grasp
As the fracking revolution eases demand for the kingdom’s oil and gas, a billionaire prince warns his nation to find new income.
Billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal said the Gulf Arab kingdom needed to reduce its reliance on crude oil and diversify its revenues.
His warning comes as rising shale energy supplies in the United States cut global demand for Saudi oil.
In an open letter to his country’s oil minister Ali al Naimi and other government heads, published on Sunday via his Twitter account, Prince Alwaleed said demand for oil from Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) member states was “in continuous decline”.

N.J. Comptroller Matthew Boxer not afraid to take on the state’s power brokers
It sounds hokey. Like something out of a “Dragnet” episode. “Follow the facts, wherever they lead you.”
A bit much? Perhaps. (Hutchins/Star-Ledger)

Booker’s Newark: How has it fared? His star power is clear. The city’s story is one of both hope and struggles.
NEWARK, N.J. – In seven years as mayor, Cory Booker has added touches of luster here in the Brick City. Amid still-gritty streets, he has brought name-brand businesses and restaurants, loft apartments, and a glass office tower.
His wealthy admirers are writing checks to city causes, and last year British Prime Minister David Cameron visited to glean ideas for reviving rusted industrial cities.
But in any close analysis of Newark’s famous mayor, a fundamental question looms: Behind the undeniable flash, is there deep-rooted substance to match?
Booker, 44, said he has built momentum that puts Newark on a path toward revitalization, building interest unseen in decades. As a U.S. senator, he says, he would work to bring similar progress to other hard-hit New Jersey cities such as Camden, Paterson, and Asbury Park.
“The reputation of Newark was a place to stay away from,” Booker said last week in a telephone interview. “Now the city is really a place where hope is literally springing from the ground in terms of parks and housing.”
But as he campaigns to move from City Hall to the Capitol, Booker’s standout moments clash with indicators that show many long-standing ills remain. Poverty and unemployment, each jolted by the recession, are widespread, significantly more so than when Booker took office.
Nearby new hotels and offices, stretches of Newark streets are marked by rundown shops. Graffiti-covered security gates guard empty storefronts. After falling sharply, murder counts are rising again.
Despite the “rock star” status bestowed by Oprah Winfrey and other starry supporters who view Newark from afar, those who work, sleep, and raise children in this city of 277,000 see a more mixed picture.
“The city has plenty of problems, and I’m not sure if any leader could have solved them, especially in a handful of years,” said Brad Tuttle, author of How Newark Became Newark: The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of an American City.

North Jersey ‘pill mills’ cashing in on painkiller addiction

The Record
They came by vanloads from downtown Newark. The Medicaid recipients and homeless drug addicts piled into a medical center in a strip mall in Passaic, where they got cursory examinations and bogus diagnoses from a licensed doctor. The patients left with gift cards and prescriptions for narcotic painkillers, investigators said, while Joseph Dituro and his partners got the Medicaid reimbursements.
Physicians, anesthesiologists, oral surgeons and psychiatrists, along with chiropractors, pharmacists and other licensed medical practitioners have been arrested and charged in prescription fraud and pills-for-cash schemes across the state.
Last year, at least 10 of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration’s roughly 30 New Jersey-related busts involved prescription drugs, up from two in 2007.

Exclusive: Signs of declining economic security
By HOPE YEN
— Jul. 28 4:26 PM EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) — Four out of 5 U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives, a sign of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream.
Survey data exclusive to The Associated Press points to an increasingly globalized U.S. economy, the widening gap between rich and poor and loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs as reasons for the trend.
The findings come as President Barack Obama tries to renew his administration’s emphasis on the economy, saying in recent speeches that his highest priority is to “rebuild ladders of opportunity” and reverse income inequality.
