POLL: Chris Christie is America’s Least Popular Governor

Here’s another less-than-positive “first” for New Jersey… We have America’s least popular governor. According to a Morning Consult online poll released Tuesday morning, to make matter worse (?) for the former presidential hopeful, Governor Chris Christie‘s approval rating of 25% (71% disapprove) is 4-points worse than his 29% approval rating in the September Morning Consult poll. He’s got bad […]

Cory Booker (D-Twitter) Manages To Land On All Sides Of Syria

After taking an absolute beating over Russia and health care in recent weeks, Save Jerseyans, President Trump finally had a stronger week than the Democrats. ‘Bout time! The Donald (1) convinced long-time skeptics like yours truly that I didn’t gamble my vote away needlessly by getting Gorsuch across the finish line in t he same news cycle that […]

In a vote along party lines, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11-9 to pass Neil Gorsuch, President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick, out of committee. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa said Gorsuch’s nomination will now move to the Senate.

Schumer Confident: ‘Highly Unlikely’ Gorsuch Gets 60 Votes

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) bragged it is “highly unlikely” that Judge Neil Gorsuch will get the needed 60 votes to end debate on his nomination to the Supreme Court.

Trump’s Budget Cuts Face Resistance From Republican Lawmakers

Republican leaders are voicing disapproval of budget cuts proposed by President Donald Trump. “I doubt there’d be a lot of appetite for dramatic cuts this year,” Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, told Roll Call. “I just look at it as a conversation. They’ve got their views, we’ve got our views, and we need to […]

SCOTUS Isn’t Coming to Bob Menendez’s Rescue

Bob Menendez‘s upcoming vote on the Gorsuch nomination is no longer relevant, Save Jerseyans. Back in December, Menendez’s lawyers filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that his pending federal bribery charges infringe upon legislative activity protected by the United States Constitution’s “Speech-Or-Debate” Clause. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court indicated, without comment, that it won’t […]

We Must Keep Our Promise to Fully Repeal Obamacare

“For five years, Senate Democrats have blocked our efforts to repeal Obamacare,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Jan. 6, 2016. “That ends today.” “With this vote, we are keeping a promise and putting a bill that repeals Obamacare and defunds Planned Parenthood on the president’s desk,” Ryan continued. “This budget reconciliation bill, which would […]

Will It Be Cory Booker vs. Cory Booker On The Gorsuch Nomination?

Cory Booker (D-Twitter) sat down with Trump SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch last week, Save Jerseyans, but we still don’t know if your state’s junior senator, who legislates-while-distracted, is going to support an up-or-down vote. Will he come around eventually? Depends which Booker you ask… The guy who supported Merrick Garland’s nomination when Barack Obama was still president […]

MEET THE DEMOCRATS: Senator Under Indictment for Selling Favors Wants Trump Investigated?

You couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried, Save Jerseyans. Not a chance. The insincerity of Democrat protestations concerning Jeff Sessions and the Russian Ambassador should be obvious to even causal observers (especially given the fact that a large number of them ALSO met with him), but if it’s not, all you need to do […]

Cory Booker was scheduled to chat with Gorsuch on Wednesday

Cory Booker (D-Twitter) SHOULD be able to find plenty common ground with Trump SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch, Save Jerseyans, but since our junior senator is running for president, the President shouldn’t count on his vote for confirmation. It’d be the right thing to do for the country but tough choice for a Democrat primary hopeful. He still […]

Menendez Stereotypes Immigrants as Cafeteria Workers?

You can click here for a little background on what’s going here, Save Jerseyans, but it won’t make watching this Bob Menendez video any less bizarre…. Just try to imagine if a Republican had said this: A #DayWithoutImmigrants means Senators & Senate staff couldn't get their coffee because immigrants are part of our everyday lives […]
