mailman_theridgewoodblog

Ok riddle me this….
.
Democrats are up in arms because “Trump is suppressing votes by handicapping the US Mail system”
.
SO…..
Why aren’t Democrats going all out to insist on In Person Voting and to ban Vote By Mail so they can bypass Trump’s “evil Postal plans” and ensure that there is no voter suppression?

.
Oh right… because its easier for Democrats to cheat with Vote By Mail.

Congressional Candidate Billy Prempeh Challenges Police Unions on Support for Bill Pascrell

the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Paterson NJ, Congressional candidate Billy Prempeh  questions police support for Congressman Bill Pascrell  who along with the rest of the Democrat party have turned their back law enforcement .
In a Facebook post Prempeh  lays out his position:
“The left has gone militant in their mission to defund the police. So militant that they are leading society off a cliff. Just take a look at new York city for example. The police haven’t been fully de-funded, yet crime has shot up %200+! Gang violence is spiking accross the country and the main people affected are the minority communities.
Ever since “Basement” Bill Pascrell aligned himself with radical left politicians such as Ilhan Omar, AOC, and the rest of the squad, crime in Paterson is at an all time high!
Yes, our police are not perfect. They are human just like all of us, but de-funding them will not make our communities any safer. Don’t buy into the dangerous progressive Utopian fantasy that getting rid of the police will somehow make all the criminals disappear and transform the world into Kumbaya land. It’s not gonna happen!

Reader says ,”I pray that not one penny gets sent to New Jersey”

gov phil murphy nj generic 041518 1523813414516 5330616 ver1.0 640 3601

“I pray that not one penny gets sent to New Jersey. Murphy did not take any steps whatsoever to stop the State’s hemorrhaging of money; in fact, he has done just the opposite: giving illegal immigrants free healthcare, free education, free everything, while giving the actual citizens of New Jersey nothing but the bills for such generosity. To pay for his $10 billion loan, he is already going to have to raise sales taxes and even create a NEW state property tax. It is finally time for spending cuts and they must be DEEP! our budgets must be pared down to the bare minimums, we have no right to be giving away free things when we have no money to pay for them.”

Reader says ,Jewish residents, “should be more concerned with the Democratic party’s anti-semitic position”

“The Jewish residents of NJ have good cause to be unsettled regarding BLM, and the rampant anti-semitism they believe in.

However, they should be more concerned with the Democratic party’s anti-semitic position. There has never been so much as a “no” spoken by Democrats against attacks being made against Jews. Anyone remember the Hanukkah celebration a few months ago? Shaheen; Cortez; De Blasio; Omar; Warren; Biden and yes, Obama and his cohort of Rev. Wright, Sharpton et al, they are all as guilty as sin of failing to condemn, and in fact outright support of such attacks.

The evil grew the same way in 1933 – Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Oust the Dems! “
