At Miss America, Miss New Jersey had to answer for Chris Christie

Kaitlyn Schoeffel, Miss New Jersey 2017, is reaping the benefits of being an Atlantic City native this week at the 2018 Miss America pageant.

Bridgegate, Chris Christie September 1, 2017

Politically speaking? Christie’s worst mistake wasn’t Bridgegate. Not even close.

Hindsight is 20/20, Save Jerseyans. We all know that. Governor Chris Christie shared a little of his own on Wednesday’s edition of Morning Joe, confessing that the biggest mistake of his nearly-complete two terms in Trenton was “hiring the people who pulled the shenanigans” at the George Washington Bridge way back in 2013 during his reelection […]

Would Christie appoint himself to the U.S. Senate? Governor weighs in

Chris Christie could appoint himself as Menendez’s replacement. But does “U.S. Sen. Chris Christie” have a chance of becoming a reality? The New Jersey governor didn’t completely rule out the idea during […]

Weinberg-style Democrats don’t want ‘clean’ energy; they might want Flintstones cars!

President Barack Obama took a half-hearted approach to tackling the oil-by-rail boom during his years in office, Save Jerseyans, because some BIG money liberals (like Warren Buffett and Tom Steyer) have made fortunes off of the dangerous practice (side note: Obama was a magnet for Big Oil cash). THAT is why, curiously enough, so many […]

Chris Christie July 28, 2017

Christie told you half of the ‘affordability crisis’ story. Here’s the other half.

Chris Christie visited NJ 101.5 for ‘Ask the Governor’ last night, Save Jerseyans, his monthly soap box designed for interaction between the vox populi and its highest state-based elected official (whenever, of course, he’s actually here). It’s rarely boring and, sometimes, a little instructive for those of us who try to keep a close eye […]
