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.

Trenton NJ, Governor Murphy issued his 2021 State of the State address. The address included policies that would make our state worse off in the short and long term, and papered over the administration’s failures. New Jersey leads the nation in Covid death rate, and outmigration. We are consistently ranked last in tax climate, and close to last in fiscal stability and GDP.
Friends,
Last month I was thrilled to announce our campaign for Governor, and the positive response from grassroots activists and donors has been overwhelming. While our strong standing in this race makes this decision even more heartbreaking, unfortunately, unforeseen professional obligations have made it untenable for me to continue in this race as a candidate for Governor.
To everyone who supported our campaign, thank you. Your message was heard loud and clear, and you do have a voice. Together we will rise above, and we will ultimately Take Back New Jersey.
Thank you for all that you do,
Doug Steinhardt
