Washington DC, NJ Congressman Van Drew issued the following statement on the current situation in Afghanistan, “President Biden’s decision to simply hand Afghanistan back to the Taliban after almost twenty years to the day since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, will go down as one of the most shocking and embarrassing failures of leadership in American history,” said Congressman Van Drew. “It is a slap in the face to not only our NATO allies and the Afghan people who stood shoulder to shoulder with us in the fight for Freedom, but to the thousands of Americans and coalition forces who sacrificed their lives and limbs to defeat the Taliban and liberate Afghanistan in the first place. Whether it is China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran – friend and foe alike are taking notice of the Biden Administration’s weakness and will only be emboldened in the days, weeks, and months to come.”

Jose Arango is once more actively working against the Republican Party and its interests. The Democrat-helping Chairman of the Hudson County Republican Party held an impromptu dinner on Tuesday night August 3rd with roughly a dozen and a half people on the same day and in the same county as the packed meet and greet for GOP Gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli. This isn’t the first time Arango has tried to harm other Republicans by throwing a last-minute competing event.

The most recent attack by the NJ Democrat Committee on New Jersey’s next Governor, Jack Ciattarelli, reads like the same-old chicken-little sky-is-falling caricature of every GOP opponent they have ever faced. Jack is anti-science they say because he believes in the philosophical exemption from vaccines that exists in some shape or form in every state (at least until Covid-19).

Fair Lawn NJ, since 1958 Nabisco has been a landmark here in Fair Lawn.
