Save Jersey salutes each and every U.S. soldier who has courageously served their country and the cause of human freedom since the American Revolution and, in a very special way, the sons and daughters of New Jersey who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice:

I think Jay Carney officially has the worst job in the country right now, Save Jerseyans.
I’d really hate to be him these days and I’m pretty sure he’d gratefully trade his post for a Save Jersey blogging slot if given the opportunity!
The September 12, 2012 attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi resulted in a senseless loss of American lives, lives that were there to serve our country and protect our interests. They sacrificed themselves for their country. But their government let them down.
Their government decided to ignore their pleas for more safety and security measures. Their government decided to delete logistical details that would have compromised its position and message to the American people after the attack. Their government betrayed them, their memory and the American public. We now, FINALLY, have proof of this, and it is very likely that more will emerge in the near future.
You just can’t spin this, Mr. Carney. No communications degree is going to help you out here.

Media bias allegations aren’t just some straw man to give conservative talking heads material, Save Jerseyans. It’s now one of the most pervasive problems facing the United States today.
True; there’s always been political bias in the media all the way back to the Election of 1800! It’s just never been this one-sided and activist at the same time. That’s detrimental to the democrats process.
Consider the consequences: it took them months to care about arguably the most heinous domestic murder case in recent memory out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania because they didn’t want to shine a negative light on abortion, but they’ve never shown the same restraint every time a gun goes off somewhere on the continent. Then, in the early days of the Boston Marathon bombing massacre, they openly hoped that the culprits were right wingers rather than entertain a politically incorrect likelihood.
Those are just recent examples. I’ve got an archive full of’em here at Save Jersey. And since most modern citizens can’t be counted on to do their own homework, what the mainstream media says goes for a large percentage of the population. Enough to swing elections and affect our country’s trajectory.
Still don’t believe me? I’ve got one word for you: Benghazi. The story keeps getting worse every time a new piece of information sees the light of day…

For the past fifty years, the United States has placed an all-encompassing economic embargo upon Cuba, hoping that such a policy would ultimately force liberalization reforms in the Castro-led Marxist state, though how such a policy would achieve these ends has always been unclear.
Proponents of the trade embargo argue that cooperation with the Cuban government—and likewise, any relaxation of existing laws—would represent implicit support for an illiberal regime, one that is firmly committed to ideals that are wholly un-American. Despite this—and despite the fact that concerns for human and civil right in Cuba remain quite high—the reality that the trade embargo against Cuba has failed miserably in delivering democratization to Cuba, and likewise, has increased state-led organizational opposition to American policy abroad, is indeed quite well established.
Ultimately, the United States embargo against Cuba has harmed American and foreign economic interests, the American and Cuban peoples—and most importantly—has not brought forth the fall of the Castro regime. Simply put, the trade embargo against Cuba has been among the most ill-advised and least effective foreign policy initiatives of the United States government in her long history—the time for the United States to reverse the policy is long overdue.
The United States imposed trade embargo against Cuba, though seemingly a matter of bilateral concern, has had serious negative consequence for the United States on the global scale.

The Iron Lady is being laid to rest today, Save Jerseyans. Did you miss any of our coverage? Click here.
And watch live:

Multiple sources are reporting that Senator Bob Menendez (D-Dominican Republic) is holding up a vote on a resolution honoring the late Margaret Thatcher; he is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
A report from The Hill suggests the fight is ideological. Apparently, the GOP and Menendez’s committee can’t agree on the language. It doesn’t take much imagination to predict the possible points of contention. To be fair, Menendez did issue a gracious statement following her passing:
Margaret Thatcher was a dynamic force as an ally to the United States in winning the cold War and overcoming the despotism and repression suffered by hundreds of millions at the hands of Soviet communism. She was a persuasive, transformative leader who shaped world events with the power of her personality. A grocer’s daughter, she was known, affectionately and deservedly as “The Iron Lady. Margaret Thatcher’s life and legacy of leadership will endure for many generations to come. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and with the people of Great Britain and the world as we mourn her passing.”
Admirable though those sentiments might be, Save Jerseyans, this story is yet another sad example of why The New York Times called for Harry Reid to take away his gavel.

We will lay to rest a truly great “iron” lady on Wednesday, Save Jerseyans, who once said of Parliament, “I love argument. I love debate. I don’t expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me – that’s not their job.”
Not much changes! Since we learned of the passing of Baroness Margaret Thatcher last week, we have had a diversity of reaction and reflection on her life and time as Prime Minister from around the globe.
Former Reagan Economic Adviser Art Laffer and foreign policy legend Henry Kissinger had nothing but glowing things to say about her during On the Record with Greta Van Sustren. Our friend and Heritage Foundation researcher Dan Kochis also offered his thoughts on Thatcher’s effect on young conservatives.
God knows in the wake of events like Monday’s terror attack at the Boston Marathon, we could use more leaders with the Iron Lady’s iron backbone. But not everyone is celebrating her life.
