ALERT: New Poll Shows Jack Closing Gap A new NJ gubernatorial poll just out shows Jack Ciattarelli literally breathing down Phil Murphy's neck. Jack has closed the gap and has turned what once was an apparent Murphy triumph into a six-point race that is now thisclose to the poll's four point margin of error. This is all quite startling and we must point out that the poll is already three days old (conducted through 10/18). So, if Jack's been gaining day-by-day these numbers could now be even closer and there's enough time to close this gap (if there really is...

Eighteen-year-old Bryce Dershem, who graduated from Eastern Regional High School in Voorhees, told CBS News he originally wrote a speech about being queer and dealing with mental health issues, but Principal Robert Tull told him to change it. Dershem said he spent months in treatment for anorexia and didn't even know if he'd be able to graduate, let alone become valedictorian. "As soon as I heard...

The Randolph Board of Education did an about-face Monday evening on its decision to remove holiday names from the school calendar following tremendous backlash from the public. Following the board’s action, all holidays will be listed by name on the school calendar, including Columbus Day. At its May meeting, the board voted to refer to Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Then on June 10 — over loud objections — the board voted to label holidays generically on its one-page calendar. Holidays including Christmas and Veterans Day were just listed as a “Day Off,” with no mention of the holiday...

As of Saturday, the Murphy Administration had DELETED 45,352 Covid-19 cases going back March 1, 2020 according to our friend @AWokeZombie. In New Jersey, case numbers more than any other indicator were used to lock down your kids, schools/camps, businesses, restaurants, jobs, vacations, friend’s weddings, family funerals, etc. Other states primarily leaned on measures like spot positivity and/or the effective reproduction number. Not Trenton. Cases were king. – To put things in perspective, the number of deleted cases is now roughly equivelent to the population of South Brunswick (Middlesex County) or Evesham Township (Burlington County). That’s a shit ton of...

It’s MAGA versus the mainstream in Tuesday’s GOP gubernatorial primary, as two candidates who adhere to the ideology of Donald Trump face off against a former state assemblyman who fits the pre-Trump Republican mold. The contest is particularly notable because it’s the first statewide election in the country since the November presidential contest (Virginia also has a gubernatorial election Tuesday), and so it might serve as a test of whether Trumpism has staying power. The winner faces Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat who does not have an opponent in his party’s primary. Murphy is relatively popular in this blue state,...

Several whistleblowers came forward in the months leading up to the November 2020 election, and even for a few weeks afterward, to warn about votes being unlawfully handled or distributed by the USPS. They were disregarded by the dishonest mainstream media. Whistleblowers and anyone who believed them were mocked by the Democratic Party. Now, a US Postal Service employee has admitted to tossing 1,875 pieces of mail into the dumpster, including ballots for the November 2020 election. The Hudson County USPS mail carrier revealed today that he dumped mail from his assigned routes in Orange and West Orange, including 99...
