Why would any elected official object to detaining/securing criminal illegal aliens away from the law abiding public? Using military facilities to protect us from the threat of unvetted illegal aliens is a textbook example of sound national defense policy. savejersey.com/2025/07/n-j-de…
😕 Depressing but not surprising. Families can’t afford to stay in NJ thanks to reckless Democratic policies. 🚚 With sky-high taxes and a crushing cost of living, they’re packing up and leaving. ⏰ Time’s up. 🗳️ Vote Jack Ciattarelli and the Republican ticket to turn NJ…
Top 5 states people are leaving the fastest? New Jersey, Illinois, New York, California, and Massachusetts There is no coincidence here, there's all heavy Blue states as the top 5
Huge congrats to the @RutgersU Women’s Crew team for bringing home the Island Challenge Cup at the 2025 Henley Royal Regatta 🏆🇺🇸 What a moment for Rutgers, for NJ, and for women in sports. #RUrahrah #HenleyRoyalRegatta #JerseyStrong @RUAthletics @RutgersWRowing
The New Jersey state budget is a behemoth of pork spending, higher taxes and unsustainable budgeting. Below is my floor speech prior to voting “NO!”
@votebergen just made a motion to remove references to offshore wind from the bill—a simple, commonsense fix. But the Democrats rallied 41 NO votes to block it. Several other Ds just sat it out. Offshore wind is a failing industry that’s costing NJ taxpayers billions. Meanwhile,…
Spot on!
$2 million for pickleball? $500k for a wellness garden? Whatever that is? Wake up, New Jersey (h/t @bigbjt): savejersey.com/2025/06/njs-20…
Does he really think this is what the voters want? Why would any elected official, especially one vying to be the top elected official in New Jersey fight to keep criminals and gang members who are here illegally in this country? nypost.com/2025/05/09/us-…
If there was ever a case for no release of a suspect, this is it. Intentionally destroying thousands of acres and endangering even more homes and lives is as serious as it gets. He, and any other suspects should remain in jail until the trial. nj1015.com/joseph-kling-h…
Democrats attacked Republicans like me for opposing energy policies that compromise reliability. But Europe’s crisis proves the point: we need balance. NJ deserves clean, reliable, affordable energy. Put NJ ratepayers first—not politics. #EnergySecurity #NJ @NJAsmGerry…
Nothing "complex" about catastrophic electric bill increases. Democrats (you and your party) invested our money in wind, solar, fairy dust and unicorn farts. They ignored the stuff that works... natural gas and nuclear. We're now 5 minutes from Spain. Best of luck in November!
Wishing everyone a very happy and blessed Easter!
Coming to the United States for educational reasons on a student visa is an extraordinary privilege. However, when you become a threat or an agent of disruption, the federal government not only has the right, but the duty to determine if that privilege should be revoked.
Thank you to the “Greatest Generation” for setting the standard for what it means to be an American and how to show dedication and defense of country when it is attacked. God bless Vaughn Drake and all those who served our grateful nation! nypost.com/2025/04/14/us-…
Want to vote in NJ? Here’s the law: ✅ Be a U.S. citizen ✅ At least 17 (but 18 to actually vote) ✅ Live in your county 30+ days ✅ Not serving a felony sentence These are the rules everywhere— EXCEPT Newark, where minors are voting in school elections today. Unconstitutional?…

The sad part is, even though this is a New York project, it will be visible from New Jersey and negatively affect our environment, marine wildlife and economy. Yet not a peep from the Governor or his administration. nypost.com/2025/04/10/opi…
