Like millions of people around the world, you probably spend a considerable amount of time in your bathroom, especially if you love bathing. It’s not a popular idea, but we believe that the bathroom should be the warmest, coziest room in the house, a special place of solitude where you can relax in the bathtub and unwind. It’s a place you visit several times a day, and you want to feel welcome during your short stay. If you’re remodeling your house or moving to a new one, here are design ideas you might want to consider for an interesting and cozy bathroom.

“The first respondent asked why “all of Ridgewood” wasn’t invited, and the answer is really simple. These “teens” as they call themselves with their meeting “for teens, run by teens” invitation first of all, aren’t teens, and they are not looking for the betterment of society but rather, how many institutions can they attack and destroy. Their crowd of “know it all young adults” who consider themselves teens so they can hope to not be responsible for their actions. They hope to be getting more bleeding hearts who say “How could those big mean cops pick on a Latino teenager? They are obviously racists.” “or pick on an innocent teen (?) girl” who “just happened” to come with own photographer, recorder, and lawyer on July 4th? These brats assume they have the right to destroy society so they can have fun and get people to support them. Parents, please talk logic to your kids and hopefully get them to not participate in these mobs. Someone is going to get hurt.”

Reader says ,Jewish residents, “should be more concerned with the Democratic party’s anti-semitic position”

“The Jewish residents of NJ have good cause to be unsettled regarding BLM, and the rampant anti-semitism they believe in.

However, they should be more concerned with the Democratic party’s anti-semitic position. There has never been so much as a “no” spoken by Democrats against attacks being made against Jews. Anyone remember the Hanukkah celebration a few months ago? Shaheen; Cortez; De Blasio; Omar; Warren; Biden and yes, Obama and his cohort of Rev. Wright, Sharpton et al, they are all as guilty as sin of failing to condemn, and in fact outright support of such attacks.

The evil grew the same way in 1933 – Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Oust the Dems! “

Democratic National Convention Faces Security Issues

Milwaukee WI, looks like the DNC will have to contend with “police defunding” it self ,over 100 police agencies are withdrawing from agreements to send personnel to bolster security at next month’s Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, in part because they’re concerned about a recent directive ordering police in the city to stop using tear gas to control crowds.

A citizen oversight commission last week directed Milwaukee’s police chief to publicly account for why the department used tear gas during protests in late May and early June after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and to change Milwaukee’s police policies to ban the use of tear gas and pepper spray. The Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission said in its order that Police Chief Alfonso Morales could be fired if he fails to comply.

“Why do we have so many bleeding hearts in our communities? If it is a “child–even if said “child” is 22–people can’t wait to slam the police for picking on a “kid”. Doesn’t matter if said “kid” is from out-of- state, or if they are no longer a “kid” except in attitude–these “poor little darlings” are being unjustly picked on. Who cares if they endanger others with their unsafe walking, or biking? Doesn’t matter if Police in various towns have warned them already and they are still breaking laws by the time they get to our community. Nothing matters to these individuals except that “a kid is being unjustly picked on” by these “nasty old Police who should certainly know better than to accuse “a child” of anything. These are the same individuals whose “darling child could never do a wrong” and thus other parents must have raised a child who can do no wrong either–unless it is said parents’ child who is being “picked on” by someone else’s “brat”. (Bet, if these people are actually parents they have no more than 2 “adored” children–with more children (or with the brains God gave them) a parent soon realizes that the world is not always rosy nor filled with “sweet little children”. What will it take to have these “highly indignant” individuals get out of their dream world and into understanding reality?”
