Every American Should Watch This Two Minutes

Former hostage Keith Siegel released this video message to President Trump: "My name is Keith Siegel, and I am a 65-year-old American citizen. I love country music and I love pancakes on a Saturday morning. But that was my previous life. Since February 1st, I am a newly released Hamas hostage. I am a survivor. I was held for 484 days in unimaginable conditions, and every single day felt like it could be my last. President Trump, you are the reason I am home alive. You are the reason I was reunited with my beloved wife, four children, and five grandchildren. Thank you for your continued fight against terror and for your bold leadership that brought me and many others back home to our families, to safety and to security. When I was in Gaza, I lived in constant fear, fear for my life and my personal safety. I was starved and tortured both physically and emotionally. When the war intensified, the terrorists who held me treated me even worse than usual. The terrorists kicked me, spat on me, and held me with no water, no light, and no air to breathe. Mr. President, once again your leadership, power, and authority are necessary to enforce the cease-fire and put an end to the unnecessary daily dangers and to the lives of innocent hostages and civilians. Your leadership and strength will ensure the agreement is honored by all sides. That is what will allow all 76 hostages to return home to their families.

I trust your strength and leadership, Mr. President. The helpless hostages in the dark, cold tunnels in Gaza also trust you. Please bring them home."

Testa Decries NJ Rate Hikes, Wants BPU Abolished

Pallotta Enters NJ 39th LD Assembly Race

Frank Pallotta (R-Mahwah), a public servant and former Trump-endorsed Republican House Candidate for Congress, today announced his candidacy for New Jersey State Assembly representing the 39th Legislative District, further positioning New Jersey for potential national attention in 2025. He has also announced he will not participate in the Bergen County Convention, joining others across the State who have made the same decision.


Pallotta: "While I have great respect for the Bergen County Republican Organization's (BCRO) approximately 800 Committee members, of which I remain an active member, I cannot in good conscience participate in an obsolete and antiquated convention process that can drag on for months, draining tens of thousands of dollars and critical resources away from what really matters – direct voter engagement." 


Pallotta feels that "the main purpose of the county convention in past years had been to win placement on an organizational line – a line which no longer exists."


Pallotta emphasized that campaigns should focus on a direct connection with voters, not backroom deals. "Every minute spent courting a small circle of political insiders is a minute stolen from the families, workers, and small business owners who make our community strong," he says. He feels that his "proven track record of fighting political corruption within the senior ranks of Bergen County Organizational leadership is documented and well-known throughout the region" and will enhance his standing in the race.


He says his campaign will focus on the critical issues facing District 39, including public safety, law enforcement, flood mitigation, crumbling infrastructure, overdevelopment, and the high cost of living.


Pallotta maintains that the campaign's approach, coupled with his "unique position as the only candidate in the race who had previously received a Trump endorsement, signals a new era in New Jersey politics that prioritizes a return to a conservative agenda, and a focus on the issues."


Recently, six-term, LD39 Assemblyman Bob Auth publicly rejected President Donald Trump, when he chose to align with, and endorse for Governor, self-proclaimed Trump-hater, State Senator Jon Bramnick.SAccording to Pallotta: "While Auth calls himself a 'conservative,' his actions tell a far different story. He remained silent when Bramnick defended Democrats who supported the ill-named 'Freedom to Read Act' (or 'Grindr bill') that allows for the placement of inappropriate, sexually explicit reading materials in school libraries." Politico also reported in 2024 that Bramnick "vowed to not vote for the former president in the 2024 presidential election" and even hosted a cocktail reception for Democratic Governor Phil Murphy at his home. Pallotta argues that despite all this, Auth has still endorsed Bramnick. Pallotta says "this kind of betrayal cannot be ignored. It’s time for a change in District 39. I know that I am better qualified to represent the good people who call District 39 home."


Pallotta has encoruaged everyone to visit his campaign website (www.PallottaForAssembly.com) and reach out with any questions or comments. He concludes: "Together, let's build a relationship that gives voters the genuine representation they deserve – one that leads with sound policies reflecting the will of the people. Let's get this done!"

The 39th District includes Allendale, Alpine, Cresskill, Closter, Demarest, Dumont, Emerson, Harrington Park, Haworth, Hillsdale, Ho-Ho-Kus, Mahwah, Midland Park, Montvale, Northvale, Norwood, Oakland, Old Tappan, Park Ridge, Ramsey, River Vale, Rockleigh, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Waldwick, Washington Township, Westwood, and Woodcliff Lake. 

Another Senseless, Outrageous Move By Andy Kim!

Watch New Jersey US Senator Andy Kim explain ("in one minute") why he voted against the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to be the Secretary of Health and Human Services in President Trump's cabinet. 
Kim has voted the straight Democrat line again and again, so this is no surprise. And, it's also no surprise that in his statement Kim mentions himself (I, me and mine) 15 times. That's 15 times in 60 seconds! 
So, Kim's vote against RFK Jr. is not about you. Instead, it's all about HIM -- his life, his children, his family, his parents, etc. etc. This is quintessential Kim: selfish, self-centered, simplistic and immature. He freely and irresponsible uses his own family to prop up his senseless, radical, obstructive actions. Outrageous!

This Man Was Way, WAY Ahead Of His Time!

Rush Limbaugh was decades ahead, to be exact. He foresaw it all. Imagine how long we put up with the nonsense of wokeness -- and we are only now beginning to effectively confront it and, hopefully, eliminate it. Thank you, Rush. We miss you and wish you were here to see the progress we're making.

US Catholic Archbishop Praises President Trump

Catholic Archbishop of Kansas City, Joseph Naumann, commended US President Donald Trump and his administration for their efforts in addressing national security concerns related to immigration. An excerpt from his statement follows:

Those elected to lead our nation are responsible to protect the integrity of our country and keep safe the citizens of the United States. Allowing violent gangs, individuals with serious criminal histories, dealers of lethal illegal drugs, human traffickers and those who pose threats to our national security to enter our country and harm U.S. citizens is a serious dereliction of duty by our elected leaders. I commend President Trump and those in his administration for addressing this serious, national threat.

It is inconceivable that our previous administration either did not know or care about the location or the circumstances of approximately 300,000 children and youth who entered the United States during the past four years. We do not know how many of them have become victims of human trafficking, gangs and drug dealers. This is a national disgrace. I salute President Trump and his administration for making it a priority to find these lost children and youth.
