Allen West Sets the Civil Rights Record Straight

lincoln richmond

It’s Black History Month for eight more days, and you’ve probably noticed (if you’ve never paid attention before) how modern-day Democrats absolutely love to trumpet their party’s alleged commitment to “civil rights.” Pardon my French, Save Jerseyans, but it’s a load of crap. The undeniable truth? From the desperate days leading up to the Civil…

@GovChristie’s Post-Budget Address Offensive: Slams Warren Buffett, @GMA at 7am, Town Hall at 10:30am

chris christie

STEP #1: Propose a tax cut to one of the nation’s most liberal state legislatures. STEP #2: Take your case directly to the American people. No one knows how to use a bully pulpit better than Chris Christie, Save Jerseyans. He followed up yesterday’s budget address with a pre-taped CNN interview aired Tuesday evening. Among other…

Piers Morgan Asks Chris Christie: Why Doesn’t the GOP Love Mitt?

PIERS MORGAN

A fair question, Save Jerseyans! CNN’s Piers Morgan asked Mitt Romney’s most vocal supporter, Chris Christie, to explain the Mittster’s conservative likability issues earlier tonight during a pre-taped interview. The Governor’s answer? An angsty GOP base isn’t keen on Romney’s chill style…

LIVE: Runyan 2012 Burlington Campaign Kick Off

runyan event

The Bri Guy and I are live at Rep. Jon Runyan’s kick off in Mt. Laurel, Save Jerseyans. Initial impressions: 1. Huge crowd at the Westin. 250-300 easy. 2. Two years later and I’m still impressed by how tall Jon Runyan is! Sorry for the grainy cell phone pic. The lighting in here needs some…

Video & Full Text: Governor Chris Christie’s FY 2013 Budget Address

Christie Speech

Chris Christie’s Fiscal Year 2013 Address is on the books, Save Jerseyans. The class warfare-waging Trenton Democrats may not like it, but the centerpiece of this year’s speech is a 10% across-the-board income tax cut. Governor Christie’s budget also includes $200M more for education, doubling our state pension contributions, an overall spending increase of 1.7% but…

Exploiting Suffering, Flag-Burning Father is Low Even for the Media

burned nj flag

Have you heard about this, Save Jerseyans? A man from Michigan actually burned a New Jersey state flag to protest Governor Christie’s controversial decision to honor Newark native Whitney Houston by ordering the lowering of flags across the Garden State. An important fact to help understand the Michigan development of this story? The flag burner’s…

Garden State Equality Angry Over Angelini’s Gay Marriage Absence

gay marriage assembly vote board

I love this story, Save Jerseyans. According to our friends at MoreMonmouthMusings.net, the “Garden State Equality” (GSE) organization is apologizing to its members for having endorsed Assemblywoman Mary Pat Angelini (R-Monmouth) in last November’s election.  Why, you ask? Apparently hurt feeling arose following her absence from last week’s gay marriage vote. Reportedly, GSE’s leader met with Angelini beforehand…

Less Theology, More Liberty Needed in Rick’s Contraception Mandate Retort

santorum

I like Rick Santorum, and his larger sociological point about contraception is perfectly valid. Ever since the Progressive Era, social liberals have sought to relieve society of the natural consequences accompanying negative behavior. We’re not better off for it… Snookie and her ilk are living proof! Did you buy a house that you couldn’t afford? Don’t…

Will Trenton Really Miss 0.5% of Its Take?

nj income tax

Governor Christie will present his FY 2013 budget to the State Legislature on Tuesday afternoon. You may see additional spending cuts. I’d be surprised if he cut more money from education. You are, however, guaranteed to hear plenty about the Governor’s proposed across-the-board 10% income tax cut, a move that will return $150 million to…

#ICYMI VIDEO: Christie Stumps with Kyrillos in Union County

Kyrillos

Chris Christie and Joe Kyrillos hit the campaign trail together on Thursday for the first of what I’m sure will be many joint appearances throughout the next 8 1/2 months. The video via NJ.com:

Senatorial Discourtesy

Bob Gordon... unethical ties to Swan Creek Energy, LLC?

They’re at it again, Save Jerseyans, and Senator Bob Gordon (D-38) should be ashamed of himself. A little background: in 2011, the voters of Princeton Township and Princeton Borough passed a voter referendum and merged together in order to consolidate services and, ideally, achieve property tax relief as a result. One complication associated with merging municipalities…
