Democrats And Media Target Trump For Pittsburgh Massacre JEWS ARE SAFE WHEN AMERICA IS GREAT Somers Point, NJ, October 31, 2018 – Instead of joining the City of Pittsburgh and nation in mourning, the far-left mainstream media and leading Democrats in Washington have put their disgraceful spin machine into high gear claiming that President Trump is somehow responsible for the deadliest anti-Semitic shooting in American history, and by doing so, only further fuel hatred and division across America. Contrary to their claims, President Trump, who has actively supported the nation of Israel and Jewish people more than any previous American President, issued an unequivocally strong statement condemning the murders. “All of America is in mourning over the mass murder of Jewish Americans at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. We pray for those who perished and their loved ones, and our hearts go out to the brave police officers... Read more →

NJ Sierra Club As the sixth anniversary of Sandy comes upon us, we must look at where we’ve been and where we’ve going. We’re not stronger than the next storm and the storms themselves are getting stronger.

Research shows that this is a dire situation for the entire planet and NJ is especially at risk and must immediately begin working to mitigate climate change.

October 30, 2018 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on how the phony critics of Halloween garb are: The sensitivity police are still reeling over Megyn Kelly's innocuous recalling of "blackface" Halloween pranks. Yet some have taken the time to inform us of other Halloween fare they find objectionable. But none object to any anti-Catholic costumes. Yahoo.com ran a piece earlier this month titled, "7 Offensive Halloween Costumes You Definitely Shouldn't Wear This Year." One of the costumes deemed offensive is an outfit that looks like bricks on a wall, with the inscription across the chest, "Mexico Will Pay." Even though Amazon opined that this costume is "not meant to offend anyone," Yahoo disagreed. The Internet giant branded it "another painful cultural reference being mocked with a costume." Goodhousekeeping.com weighed in on this issue warning everyone not to buy a "tranny granny" costume that features a Mrs. Doubtfire-inspired look. The... Read more →

October 29, 2018 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on reaction to Kellyanne Conway's remark today on the synagogue massacre: Kellyanne Conway is being misrepresented by several media outlets, all of which have seized upon her comments regarding the massacre at the Pittsburgh synagogue. On the October 29 edition of "Fox and Friends," she discussed what happened, noting that "late-night comedians" who are busy "making fun of people who express religion" contribute to the "anti-religiosity in this country." She is right about that. Importantly, she never blamed these entertainers for the killings, though that is the way it is being spun. Newsweek.com, msn.com, au.finance.yahoo, thewrap.com, and slate.com are just some of the media outlets saying Conway "blamed" the killings on late-night comedians. Most absurd of them all is the left-wing "Mother Jones." It not only said Conway was wrong, it blamed "white supremacy" for the shootings. More accurate was indiewire.com.... Read more →

SUPPORT NRA-ILA Fortunes seem to rise and fall on Twitter with alarming regularity. But the platform may not be an equal opportunity soapbox, with some opinions reportedly getting more exposure than others and some speakers seemingly operating with greater impunity. That’s why it was refreshing this week to see the people of Waterville, Me. stand behind their Republican mayor, Nick Isgro, after an effort was launched to recall him from office. Mayor Isgro’s supposed offense? Calling gun control activist David Hogg to task in a tweet. The story began last March when Fox News personality Laura Ingraham tweeted about Hogg’s rejection by several California universities, adding perhaps to lessen the sting that that it was “totally predictable given acceptance rates.” Hogg responded by tweeting a list of the top advertisers on Ingraham’s show, encouraging his own hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers to contact them and threaten a boycott if...

Trenton NJ (October 29,2018)--Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal has filed comments on behalf of New Jersey, and alongside 20 other states, demanding a withdrawal of the EPA’s proposed elimination of the Clean Car Standards. The Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed to eliminate these standards that help reduce air pollution from vehicles. The standards were adopted by the Obama Administration in 2012 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through federal vehicle fuel economy standards. “New Jersey is standing up to the Trump Administration by filing these comments objecting to the clean car standards. By eliminating the Clean Car Standards, Trump is siding with Big Oil and corporate polluters over our environment and clean air technology. This affects New Jersey more than any other state because 45% of our pollution comes from automobiles. We also get impacted because we are a corridor state getting pollution from... Read more →

Thousands of people walking to United States from Central America. October 21, 2018 photo courtesy of The Atlantic (Guatemalan-Honduran Border)(October 29,2018)(CNBNewsnet)-- Besides gang members and mobs of young angry men, the Central American caravan making its way into the United States also consists of Africans, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans and Indians. Judicial Watch is covering the crisis from the Guatemalan-Honduran border this week and observed that the popular mainstream media narrative of desperate migrants—many of them women and children—seeking a better life is hardly accurate. Guatemalan intelligence officials confirmed that the caravan that originated in the northern Honduran city of San Pedro Sula includes a multitude of Special Interest Aliens (SIA) from the countries listed above as well as other criminal elements and gang members. There are also large groups of men, some with criminal histories, aggressively demanding that the U.S. take them in. During a visit to the Guatemalan town... Read more →

Progress Has Been Made And More Reforms Targeted Somers Point, NJ, October 29, 2018 – You wouldn’t know it from the Democrat’s deceptive election season advertising, but the Republican led government under President Trump has made great strides in providing affordable health care for the American people, despite needing to overcome Democrat obstruction to do so. “President Obama looked directly into TV cameras and deliberately lied about Obamacare’s high cost and people being able to keep their doctors. Nancy Pelosi said that the Obamacare legislation had to be passed without reading it so that Congress could learn what was in it. Now the Democrats are saying that Republicans will not allow health insurance to cover preexisting conditions. Once again, they’re lying. Protection for patients with preexisting conditions is a Republican priority,” said Seth Grossman, the Republican candidate for Congress in NJ’s 2nd District. “The truth is that in two years...
