New Jersey is a state without its own media market, and as a result we are constantly being pulled apart from our New Jersey brethren based upon whether your cable package give you the Flyers or the Rangers/Devils, or the Phillies or the Yankees/Mets, or the Eagles or the Giants/Jets. You get the point. New…

The best politicians are part con artist and part magician. Con artists fool their victims by exploiting their desire to believe something. Magicians fool their audiences through sleight-of-hand. Great politicians do both at the same time. Consider the never ending class warfare rhetoric that has been intensifying of late from the dark nether regions of…

As per usual, Save Jerseyans, I am going to be completely honest with you. New Jersey politics has been a bit boring lately. Do not get me wrong, there are some bright spots. I think the Rutgers Camden merger/takeover issue has been huge, and the internal struggles of the Bergen County GOP are pretty interesting…

Yesterday Rowan University unveiled a 19 page document that outlined what it sees as the way forward for the takeover of Rutgers Camden. The report itself is rather interesting. It lays out a ton of timelines, gives a general overview of when power and assets will be transferred, discusses degree transitions for current students, and…oh,…

Today Shelley Adler, widow of former Congressman John Adler, kicked off her campaign for congress in the 3rd congressional district, where she most certainly does not live. In full disclosure, this is not a Carl Lewis or Gabby Mosquera problem. Members of Congress do not have to live in the districts from which they represent….

Patrick Buchanan’s Suicide of a Superpower is a depressing, race obsessed socioeconomic call to arms, Save Jerseyans. Buchanan’s mastery of rhetoric and statistics are hard to match in today’s world. But completely unmatched amongst mainstream political commentators is his obsession with White Christian identity. While filled with solid facts on our economic masochism, imperial over reach, de facto…

It looks like the Soprano State may need a new nickname. (click the map to enlarge). According to a new study by the Center for Integrity, an organization that I have never heard of until this morning, New Jersey is actually the least corrupt state in the nation, scoring a B+ (the only B+ by…

Our friends at the American Action Network are hosting an event for Republican and conservative activists in New Jersey tonight at the Marlton Tavern in Burlington County. The last event that they had there for the State of the Union Address was very well attended and a great opportunity for conservatives around South Jersey to meet…

For the first time in my adult life, and likely the first time since you can remember, a majority of New Jersey citizens believe that our state is heading in the right direction. Considering very little in Trenton has changed other than the Governor, I think that it is safe to say that this turn…

So tonight I will be making my second appearance on the Rick Grimaldi Show on Philadelphia’s CBS radio station, 1210AM. I am currently slated to join the show during its 10:30 time slot (but that is always subject to change, of course). Some of you who read daily probably think I am going on the…

When something you want is so unpopular that polar opposites and a vast majority of citizens are against it, it is probably a good time to take a look at your messaging. Well that is what Rowan University intends to do with those hard earned tuition dollars they take from students semester after semester! Rowan…
