Our old friend State Senator Tom Kean, Jr. (R-Union) is hoping to avoid a second “Kwon Dive” and see Governor Christie’s third Supreme Court nominee, Chatham Borough Mayor Bruce Harris, avoid his predecessor’s politically grisly fate. In short, he’s hoping for Trenton Democrats to play nice. The ultimate “impossible dream,” Save Jerseyans! You’ll recall (because how could you…
The contrast between President Obama and Mitt Romney’s respective “first” campaign TV commercials of the 2012 general election says all you need to know about the difference between these two men. Hint: it’s not a flattering comparison for our current Commander-in-Chief! Obama’s opening salvo is a reflection of his personality: a sarcastic, cynical and thoroughly-misleading personal attack on Mitt…
Another day, another battle for control of New Jersey’s most populous county. Anthony Rottino, the North Jersey developed hoping to unseat incumbent GOP Chairman Bob Yudin at next month’s Bergen County convention, rolled out a list of endorsees yesterday afternoon to his email list and Facebook followers. It’s extensive, and it includes three legislators and two…
Much is being made of disappointing revenue news out of Trenton this week. Senator Sarlo’s salivary glands are working overtime, Save Jerseyans. That’s because NJ Democrats follow the Rahm Emmanuel Rule: Crisis = Opportunity (for government intervention/expansion). We also got jobs news. New Jersey netted 2,600 jobs in April 2012 while the unemployment rate ticked up…
Many New Jerseyans with Shore homes and/or businesses will spend the next few days preparing for the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend. There are also parades to plan, memorial ceremonies to arrange and barbecues to orchestrate. Governor Chris Christie has different plans, Save Jerseyans. He’ll spend this weekend filling his party’s coffers and making friends…
Mariela Castro, a gay rights activist and daughter of communist Cuban dictator Raul Castro (weird, right?), has been granted a visa by the U.S. Department of State. She’s allegedly here to attend some elitist academic love-in down San Francisco way. At home, she’s pushed for key items in the international “gay rights” agenda including the legalization…
A new seven-figure TV commercial campaign thanks both Chris Christie and “Reformers from Both Sides.” I wouldn’t go as far as they did, Save Jerseyans, but the good people over at the Committee for Our Children’s Future (CCF), a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization, just launched their fourth advertisement in a series of pro-Christie TV commercials celebrating the accomplishments of New Jersey’s…
U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is spending a lot of time bloviating about the student loan crisis. It’s insufferable. He even took the Senate floor earlier this month and delivered a long, rambling lecture on the supposed evils of Republicans, their “heroes,” Ronald Reagan and the American Right’s allegedly extreme posture towards loan rates rising…
Chris Christie’s star power is a force to be reckoned with these day, Save Jerseyans. He can make it rain for Christie-backed candidates and pack’em in for embattled allies in all 50 states. Specifically, the Republican Governors Association (RGA) has used Christie to buoy its online presense; New Jersey’s Governor is an eye-grabbing cash cow for…
Liberalism is a byproduct of ignorance, Save Jerseyans. Sorry, Gaga fans, but I refuse to believe any liberal is “born” that way. No god could be so cruel! This is an environmentally-induced condition and, as luck would have it, there’s a tried-and-true cure. It’s called knowledge, folks, and we have it in abundant supply right…
By now you may’ve read or heard about Fort Lee’s “new” policy on texting, Save Jerseyans. Local police had allegedly begun dispensing $54 jaywalking tickets to any pedestrians caught texting while walking. The move garnered major media attention and stirred another furious online debate on the proper role of law enforcement. The problem? It’s not…
It’s amazing how accurately weighted polls are all reporting the same trend, Save Jerseyans: momentum behind presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney heading into the summer months. Something is happening out there and the President’s people aren’t completely tone deaf to it. As your Blogger-in-Chief discussed yesterday, Team Obama is starting to “lose it” as the…
