Ramsey NJ, Frank Pallotta, candidate for Congress in New Jersey’s fifth Congressional district issued the following statement regarding the NJEA’s statement on the Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty verdict.
I stand in support of those calling for the NJEA to retract its statement and to apologize for their terribly short-sighted and premature response to last weeks verdict.  I was shocked and appalled by the reckless and totally irresponsible reaction from the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) following Friday’s not guilty verdict in the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Many youths in upper middle class Ridgewood bought into this group with parental encouragement hook line and sinker .

Ridgewood NJ, the stock market had been predicting that the Biden Administration would call for a 28% capital gains tax, so when the word came out last week that he wants a 43% capital gains tax, it triggered a stock sell off.  A share of stock is simply worth its after-tax and after-inflation rate of return, so a higher capital gains tax (combined with and a higher corporate tax) translates into lower stock values, by definition.

Media Hyped Pro-Trump “Planned Protest” Doesn’t Materialize

Trenton NJ, apparently the media is caught in another big lie , after weeks of non stop hyperbolic propaganda about supposed “pro-trump protests ” at the states capitol,  all is quiet .

A  heavy police presence guarded Trenton’s downtown , with state troopers wearing body shields stationed inside and outside of the Statehouse  with Department of Corrections buses parked nearby.

Police, community leaders and many others spent the last week or so preparing for possible protests, as the “FBI warned” of possible assaults on all state capitols nationwide.

Aside from law enforcement  a clueless  cadre of reporters and photographers assembled  to document the “planned protest”.

The fact is there was no plan by pro-Trump supporters  to march on capitol buildings nationwide, the whole thing was and is media hype. Anyone could have Googled it or looked it up on Facebook.
