Ridgewood NJ, Village officials and their ideological partners that unveiled the full service community school to the district are watching the hourglass grow empty. In recent months Ridgewood Blog has reported on the collaborative efforts between Cottage Place and Village Hall leaders who are shaping Ridgewood Public Schools into the vision that  Democratic Senators Joe Lagana (D-38th) and Benji Wimberly (D-35th)promised they could deliver to the State’s Education Committee members and gubernatorial candidate Mikie Sherrill. Nervous Democrats are relying on voters keeping their heads buried in sand so that these plans can be aggressively pursued across all of New Jersey’s public schools should leftist ideologues prove victorious in November. Regardless of the Election Day outcome, the blueprint for re-envisioning New Jersey’s public schools is now transparent; much to the dismay of partisan leaders and their corporate sponsors. Now the public is asking: how long until there’s nothin’ left at all?

Ridgewood NJ, Tonight night, Monday, October 20th, marks the new moon (no moon day), when the sky will be dark — a significant time for many who celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights.

Wall Street  NY, in 2022, Robinhood was widely written off. Following a disastrous IPO and the collapse of the meme-stock frenzy, the pioneering retail trading app was seen as a relic of the low-interest-rate, YOLO-investing era. It embodied Silicon Valley hype that crashed back to Earth.
