Why I won't demonize immigrants here illegally Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy this week caught flack from a lot of hosts on this station when he said giving license to immigrants here illegally was a "no-brainer." To Murphy's mind, it's a way to get more people insured, and to make the roads safer. "We berate the illegal aliens," Jim Gearhart says in this week's edition of the Jim Gearhart Show, live on Facebook every Thursday at 10:30 a.m., and available here as a podcast every week. But, Jim says ... maybe we shouldn't. Jim Gearhart Show podcast on the New Jersey 101.5 app. ... iTunes https://goo.gl/hF855A ... and Google Play: https://goo.gl/7GnJzZ

We've entered the age of skivvy-shaming Sep 06, 2019

Show notes

You've heard of fat-shaming. You've probably heard of slut-shaming. Of race-shaming. Even of lunch-shaming. "There's fart-shaming -- for somebody who does something naughty on a crowded elevator," Jim Gearhart says on this week's edition of the Jim Gearhart Show, live on Facebook every Thursday at 10:30 a.m., and available here as a podcast every week. But this was a new one for Jim -- skivvy-shaming. Get the Jim Gearhart Show podcast on the New Jersey 101.5 app. ... iTunes https://goo.gl/hF855A ... and Google Play: https://goo.gl/7GnJzZ

Tuna! The horror! The horror! Sep 03, 2019

Show notes

It's a story that caught a lot of attention last month -- Cherry Hill schools are having trouble getting parents to pay the tab for their kids' lunches, so they're giving simple, plain-Jane, no-frills tuna sandwiches to kids whose families' accounts are past due. Call it lunch shaming, if you're so inclined. Parents are worried their kids will be stigmatized when they're seen with the sandwiches. A school board member says the district went with tuna because PB&J would be more appetizing. But the district says it's a way to keep the kids fed even when their accounts are past due -- and that it's never enforced a policy that lets it hold lunch back entirely from a kid whose family is at least $20 behind.

Could we ever get school costs under control? Aug 23, 2019

Show notes

It's not like the solutions aren't understood. It's not like people don't know ways New Jersey could save some of that ultra-high taxes spent on education. But would it ever do what's necessary?

I'm afraid to fly my American Flag Aug 23, 2019

Show notes

We're living in fraught, divisive times. And after hearing the story of a New Jersey veteran fighting his homeowners association for the right to erect a pole and fly an American Flag, Jim's worried the flag drums up more hostility than ever. It's so bad, he says, he thinks twice about flying his own. The Jim Gearhart Show is recorded LIVE each week in a special Facebook Live presentation at http://Facebook.com/NJ1015.

Attention suffering taxpayers: We need a new acronym Aug 02, 2019

Show notes

For years, Jim's advocated GRIP -- Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians. This week, it's just RIP -- because he feels like he's beating the tax issue to death. But the story of a 106-year-old woman who almost lost her home to unpaid property taxes reminds Jim why it's a topic he can't let go. So we need a new acronym -- one that gets at the tax revolt we'd need to get taxes under control in this state. Got any suggestions? Tell Jim when he's on Facebook Live each Thursday at 10:30 a.m., at Facebook.com/NJ1015.

Christie Whitman's going after Trump? What I say about her Jul 25, 2019

Show notes

There are pro-Trump Republicans, and anti-Trump Republicans. Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman is solidly in the latter camp. In a piece for the Star-Ledger, Whitman took aim at Trump's comments targeting "The Squad" -- comments that have been broadly condemned by critics as racist and xenophobic. But Jim has a long memory.
