New Jersey has some of the highest property taxes in the nation. Jim Gearhart has always marveled that people keep voting for politicians who don't do much about it, even as some are forced out of their homes. But he thinks he's got a solution.

Jim Gearhart recently came across a discussion about how vulnerable our electrical grid is. Can you imagine if many of us lost power for a long time in the coronavirus crisis? No texting.

Jim Gearhart, in his 80s, has the strength and stamina of a much younger man -- so much so, that he bounced back from a serious fall down his stairs and traumatic brain injury just a few years ago.  And as Jim notes many of those being ravaged by the novel coronavirus have underlying conditions and complications, he has a plea: Take care of yourself.

"I hate to think that I am prophetic," Jim Gearhart says in the latest edition of the weekly Jim Gearhart Show podcast and Facebook Live show.

From 2010 through 2018, New Jersey lost about 443,000 due to outmigration, a Rutgers study finds.

A Toms River, New Jersey teacher came under fire this month for a lesson in which, according to some students, he had children impersonating slaves.

This week, the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate is almost surely going to vote to acquit President Donald Trump, closing out his impeachment trial. The vote will down party lines or awfully close to it. But, Jim Gearhart says in his weekly Facebook Live show and podcast, the real battle isn't for the presidency. It's for a position with much more lasting power.

First of all, an apology from those of us here at New Jersey 101.5. We're a bit belated in getting you this podcast edition of Jim Gearhart's Jan. 23 Facebook Live show. We were a little short-handed, and had an awfully busy week. But as they say, what's old is new again, with the unusually warm weather we've seen over the last few days getting pushed aside -- Dan Zarrow tells us we might even see a little wintry mix. So perhaps it's fitting that Jim Gearhart's partner in his weekly show, Bob Williams (who, like Jim, has been part of the New Jersey 101.5 family for nearly 30 years), told us on Jan. 23 ... just how cold it was. See Jim's full Facebook Live video here.

Jim Gearhart has a lot of sympathy for parents worried about mandatory vaccines. Protesting parents managed to get the state Senate to punt on a bill that would have removed religious exemptions to vaccine requirements for public school students -- a get-out-of-shots card legislative leaders say was being abused by people with no real religious objections, at the potential peril of herd immunity that protects us all against dangerous diseases. Medical exemptions, for students with known health complications that prevent them from safely getting vaccines, would not have been affected by the bill. "There is something that goes against the grain with the government forcing anything on us," Jim says in this week's episode of his weekly Facebook Live show and podcast.

If you've been on the Internet this week — heck, if you've listened to the radio, turned on the TV or even left the house this week — you've heard a lot about vaccines. Protesting parents scored a major victory this week, convincing enough state senators not to support a bill that would have eliminated a religious exemption to the state's requirement all public school students be vaccinated. While Senate leaders say it's a necessary public health measure, upset parents say they want control over what goes in their children's bodies. Jim Gearhart sees a lot of sides of that debate, but he worries about something else we're putting in our bodies, much more often than vaccines — processed foods.

If there's one thing that offends Jim Gearhart, it's how easily some people get offended. The Jersey City Board of Education is operating in the wake of two scandals. In one, its president has been accused of corruption by state officials. And in another, board member Joan Terrell-Paige has been roundly criticized for a Facebook group in which she referred to some religious Jews moving into the community as "brutes."

As the decade comes to a close, Jim Gearhart wonders: What in the last 10 years has New Jersey government done to make your life better? "I could be wrong, but I cannot thing of anything that has been done in the last 10 years that really changed anything significantly," Jim says in this week's episode of his weekly Facebook Live show</a> and podcast. The last time he can remember government that made a difference was under Gov. Jim McGreevey, who resigned amid a scandal in 20015. See Jim's full episode on Facebook.

The horror of this month's news in Jersey City was bad enough. Mindy Ferencz, 31, Douglas Miguel Rodriguez, 49 and Moshe Deutsch, 24 died inside the JC Kosher Supermarket when two shooters got out of a van and opened fire with rifles on the store on Martin Luther King Drive earlier this month.  Jersey City police detective Joseph Seals was gunned down in a cemetery by the same shooters shortly before, authorities say. There's so much we still don't know. But what's unmistakable: The sheer tragedy is overwhelming. And yet scammers with fake charities have made it worse.

Chick-fil-A — the Christian-owned fast food chain — took another step away from its controversial associations with religious and anti-LGBT values this month. And Jim Gearhart says he seeing the chain "throwing in the town was rather disappointing." "The reason for that, the alphabet (LGBT) group, these intimidation, have successfully intimidated them into not giving money to a group that the group didn't approve of," Jim says this week's episode of his weekly Facebook Live show and podcast.

Jim's made clear: He thinks demonizing immigrants here illegally is wrong. Many, he said, are smarter, kinder, more affable people than native-born Americans he's known for ages. But, he says in this week's show: You give an inch ... Jim's concerned driver's licenses could normalize illegal immigration a step further. And then what? Voting's no trivial right to award — even immigrants here legally can't do that — but Jim worries about what happens when people who are breaking the law by being here get treated more and more as just another part of American society.

"Everybody's looking for a legacy," Jim Gearhart says during his weekly Facebook Live show, which happens every Thursday at 10:30 a.m. "I don't know that this (administration) will have one. It'll be kind of like the Corzine administration. Nobody remembers it." Is Gov. Murphy set to disappear into history?

Jim Gearhart has long said conservatives make good points, and liberals make good points — and that he's happy to hear both out on any issue. But the far-leftist, the radical left, the progressives ... whatever you might call them ... they go too far, Jim says. Usually. But as Jim looks at the extraordinary, inconsistent and often shocking price of health care— well, the longtime New Jersey 101.5 personality starts to lean in their direction. "There is a certain amount of reason on the side of the looney, the radical left," Jim says in this week's Jim Gearhart Show — live on Facebook every Thursday at 10:30 a.m., and available here as a podcast every week. "This is free enterprise or capitalism on steroids." See the full video on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/nj1015/videos/2320852408170159/

What's wrong with the term "illegal alien?" Jim Gearhart asks. Enter the immigration debate fray, and you'll run into all sorts of variations on the term, and all sorts of alternatives to it. Some sound clinical, others border on pejorative. Illegal immigrant. Unauthorized immigrant. Undocumented alien. Illegals. Since at least 2013, the Associated Press Stylebook — basically, the grammar Bible for most news writers — has frowned on just about all of those, even though it used to be fine with "illegal immigrant." Jim asks: Why? See Jim's recording this week on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/nj1015/videos/881519772243254/

Jim's been worried for a while about what he says is the too-left slant of the Democratic party — liberals have something to contribute, he says, but Jim argues progressives take things too far. And Jim says he, himself, was a Democrat "back when it was a legitimate party." That didn't sit right with one New Jerseyan who tuned into the Facebook Live presentation.

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.

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.

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.

There are pro-Trump Republicans, and anti-Trump Republicans. Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman is solidly in the latter camp.

They say to err is human, and to forgive is divine. There's no doubt Craig Carton, long late of New Jersey 101.5 and more recently of WFAN, did the former. Last week, he began a federal 3 1/2 year prison sentence for a ticket-selling scam that blew up his career. Jim Gearhart, longtime morning host and now podcast host for New Jersey 101.5, has made no secret of his disdain for Carton — Jim says Carton spent years ripping him apart on the radio , even though the two had never met (their shows were hours apart).

There's been a lot of talk this week about Jon Stewart's appearance before Congress, shaming members for skipping a hearing on a victims' compensation fund to help 9/11 first-responders. Our own Bill Spadea thought it was grandstanding. Jeff Deminski thought it was anything but. But Jim Gearhart thought it was something extraordinary for entirely different reasons. "There were several headlines that said Jon Stewart shames the Congress," Jim said in this week's LIVE podcast, available each week here as well as on Apple Podcasts and Google Play.
