As The Big Moment Arrives, Where Lies Your Heart?
As our wonderful nation prepares to celebrate its 250th, if you cannot find it within your heart to be proud of America, then you have forgotten Franklin's admonition that “a right heart exceed all.” Set your heart right with the USA or suffer the consequences. God bless America!

Ideas For A Group That's 'Too Puny To Be Picky'
Sitting within the shadow of America's birthplace it has continued to grow and prosper while some other Philadelphia suburbs have withered. It has always benefited from its prime location and has long since supplanted the City of Camden as the largest community in Camden County, NJ. Today, it is the undisputed business and commercial center of South Jersey.
But in some ways it's no different from troublesome urban centers like Trenton and Newark. Because, it's been 41 years since any Republican was elected to local office in Cherry Hill. Forty one long years!
Now, progressive Democrats on one side and a "new" Cherry Hill Republican Party on the other, have set out to challenge the entrenched Democrat machine that has controlled the town and the county for decades.
We've already offered five big suggestions for the new leaders of the local GOP but that's not enough. So, here are five more:
1) If all politics really are local (and it's hard to argue with that mantra) then start by building a grassroots army, neighborhood by neighborhood and street by street. Do the math. Check the voting results from recent elections and begin in the neighborhood that gives you your most votes. Start where you are strongest and build from there.
2) Get people involved by soliciting their opinions. Give them a stake in their own future. Take a poll to see what voters are concerned about -- what they're worried about; what keeps them up at night. It's easier than ever to set up a survey, especially online. Do it and pay attention to the results.
3) Seize upon an issue. Armed with the facts, go after the one issue where you feel you have the best chance to win over voters. You may glean that from the survey or, if you're lucky, an issue may drop into your hands right out of the headlines. However it may happen, be alert, make that issue yours and ride it home.
4) Find a sugar daddy. Sure, money can be raised fairly quickly in small donations online and that needs to be part of any funding effort. But there's bound to be a businessperson or well-heeled, civic-minded hotshot who's been thinking about getting involved as well -- maybe someone who's disgruntled or feels left out of or mistreated by the regime in power. Bingo! There's your opportunity!
5) Votes are won by adding, not subtracting. Put personalities aside and banish petty squabbles. Keep your eyes on the prize and welcome everyone. You're too puny to be picky.

The Poison Enveloping The Democrat Party!
From journalist, columnist and TV personality Charlie Gasparino, via Facebook:
Living in Manhattan, I know a lot of old-school NY Dems and not a day goes by that they express how theyre horrified by what is happening to their party.
My advice: Look inward.
It began with you and people you love and elected like Chuck Schumer, Andrew Cuomo, etc., the so-called moderate party leadership that for years appeased the leftist loons who occupied Zuccotti Park, or unqualified clowns like AOC, or de Blasio. You and your "leaders" never really tried to hold the line against the leftists in the state legislature. And now the lunatics are controlling the proverbial insane asylum.
We have increasing fiscal and social chaos. Mamdani's budget is not balanced and will never be. It will require more tax increases. He's never going to stop demonizing Israel, or come to appreciate free markets as Jamie Dimon hopes, because he is who he is. With that, homelessness and urinating on the street has become a right, along with rioting after basketball games. It's not just Mamdani.
You have Brad Lander touting Marxism; a comptroller, the so-called fiscal watchdog named Mark Levine who is placating the left and not signaling the disaster that brewing on the city's books. Remember that when you piss and moan about Trump; your lives are being destroyed not by his mean tweets but right here in NY by politicians you empowered. Y
ou have become piggy banks for an expanded welfare state and useful idiots to promote cultural Marxism at the private schools you think will help your kids get into Columbia to further their indoctrination.
Good job.
From former Congressman Peter King, via Facebook:
Anti-Semitism is infecting America to an extent not seen since the days of Hitler and Naziism in the 1930's and '40's, particularly in New York.
Today a Brooklyn coffee shop disgracefully refunded Congressman Dan Goldman's coffee tab because it did not want to do business with a supporter of Israel which it accused of genocide.
There are many issues that I disagree with Dan Goldman on but it is absolutely indefensible to deny service to anyone based on anti-Semitism. What is more shameful is the attitude of Democratic leaders like Mayor Mamdani who support Goldman's primary opponent and enable anti-Semitism with their irresponsible rhetoric!
They Are Bent On Destroying All That's Good!

Trump Heralds Opening Of Teddy Roosevelt Library!
President Donald J. Trump’s participation underscores the significance of this historic moment for both the nation and the Semiquincentennial celebration. As the nation’s 45th and 47th President and the chief executive overseeing America’s 250th anniversary, President Trump will join Americans in honoring Theodore Roosevelt’s extraordinary legacy of leadership, courage, conservation, and national purpose. Roosevelt believed deeply in American greatness and challenged citizens to embrace service, pursue excellence, and take on the work of building a stronger nation. By participating in the dedication of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, President Trump will celebrate a leader whose life and accomplishments continue to inspire Americans to dream big, act boldly, and leave the nation stronger for future generations.
Few Americans have left a larger mark on our nation than President Theodore Roosevelt. A rancher, soldier, conservationist, and statesman, Roosevelt embodied the adventurous spirit, rugged determination, and boundless optimism that made America the greatest nation on Earth. And nowhere was that spirit forged more profoundly than in the North Dakota Badlands, the place that Roosevelt said transformed him into the man he became.
“North Dakota transformed Theodore Roosevelt into a leader and conservationist who would leave an enduring mark on America. It’s where a young New Yorker found grit, purpose, perseverance, and crafted a conservation vision that would shape America’s treasured places for generations. The dedication of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will show how Roosevelt’s passion inspired the creation of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, dramatic expansion of our National Parks and the stewardship of our public lands,” said U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum.
“As we celebrate our country’s 250th anniversary, it’s a tremendous honor for our 45th and 47th President to cut the ribbon at the library and National Park honoring the President who led our nation during its 125th anniversary. Americans will experience Roosevelt’s remarkable story at an extraordinary place that pairs his timeless ideals with cutting-edge technology to inspire visitors to get “in the arena” and serve something larger than themselves.”
“Theodore Roosevelt believed America’s greatest work was always still ahead—that we are meant to dream big, dare greatly and take on the work worth doing. President Trump shares that conviction in American greatness, and in the belief that this nation’s finest age is yet to come,” Sec. Burgum continued.
After Roosevelt endured unspeakable tragedy at the age of 25, losing both his wife and his mother on the same day, he fled to the Badlands, desperate for a place to heal. The dedication of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library will celebrate the extraordinary journey of a young man who came west seeking solace and found his calling.
Inspired by the vast landscapes and untamed beauty of the American frontier, Roosevelt became the father of modern conservation, protecting millions of acres of public lands, creating national parks and monuments, and establishing a legacy of stewardship that continues to preserve the natural birthright of every American citizen. Set against the very landscape that transformed his life, this historic celebration will honor Roosevelt's enduring contributions to conservation, public service, American leadership, and the pioneering spirit that remains at the heart of the American story.
"Theodore Roosevelt's life encapsulates the American story: tested by hardship, remade by the frontier, and devoted to a cause larger than himself,” said Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach. “As America celebrates 250 years of freedom, Freedom 250 is honored to mark the opening of a library that will carry his example to millions. This is exactly the kind of moment our nation’s anniversary is meant to inspire."
The dedication will draw directly from the landscapes, traditions, and experiences that shaped Theodore Roosevelt’s life and legacy. Beginning in Medora, guests will witness a ceremonial Freedom 250 rail arrival that pays tribute to the railroads that opened the American West, connected communities, and fueled the nation’s growth. The arrival will transition into a mounted Rough Riders escort, evoking Roosevelt’s legendary cavalry regiment and creating a dramatic procession to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Together, these ceremonial elements will honor the courage, service, leadership, and frontier spirit that defined Roosevelt and helped shape the American character.
Set against the rugged backdrop of the North Dakota Badlands, the dedication will celebrate Medora’s unique place in Roosevelt’s story and the profound influence the region had on his life. The landscapes that inspired his conservation vision and forged his resilience will serve as the setting for a tribute to one of America’s most consequential leaders and the enduring values he championed.
As part of Freedom 250’s nationwide commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library dedication will bring together visitors from across the country to celebrate our shared history, reflect on the values that unite us, and honor a president whose life exemplified the spirit of a nation always striving toward new horizons.

A Little-Known Chapter From 1776
From the Italian Sons and Daughters of America:
Ciro Poppiti, founder of the Delaware Italian American Foundation, has completed a sprawling 80-mile reenactment of Caesar Rodney's historic 1776 journey that sealed American independence.
On July 1, 1776, the Delaware delegation to the Continental Congress was deadlocked on the question of independence. One delegate supported breaking from Great Britain, another opposed it, and the fate of Delaware’s vote hung in the balance.
About 80 miles away in Dover, Caesar Rodney — a Founding Father, lawyer and politician with English and Italian roots — received word of the impasse and set out on a grueling overnight ride to Philadelphia.
Arriving just in time on July 2 to the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall), Rodney cast the tie-breaking vote that delivered Delaware’s support for independence, clearing the way for the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and forever securing his place in American history.
Well, It's A Monstrosity -- That's For Sure!
It's called the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago.
The Wall Street Journal calls it "a tower fit for a Pharaoh" and adds that its "colossal, haughty and ultimately inscrutable." They've also characterized it as a vanity project that "looks like a refrigerator that dropped off the Death Star" and an edifice that "doesn’t suggest any mistakes were made by its subject, nor does it delve into any related controversies."
And this was one of the kinder reviews.
It sort of reminds us of Obamacare -- a big, ugly, intrusive, expensive imposition that lives up to all our worst fears.

Five Big Ideas For A NEW Local GOP Group
Yes, NEW is one of the three most powerful words in the English language (the others being "free" and "you") so it does carry a built-in cachet. But NEW will only get you so far. Voters are impatient, and you've got to back that up with bold ideas and policies or you'll be perceived as irrelevant (if not downright old) before you know it.
Mind you, the local GOP hasn't won an election in Cherry Hill in more than 40 years. With that in mind, here are five strategic ideas for the new Cherry Hill GOP:
1) Acknowledge and thank all those who have served the party locally up to this point. Yes, there's been a clean leadership sweep, but that is no reason to forget those who kept the party going over all these lean years. Do the right thing. Start on a positive, appreciative note.
2) Welcome everyone into the new party. For a minority organization, exclusivity is simply not an option, nor is excess selectivity. Remember: even a majority of a minority is still a minority, so your base must be "all in" if you're to have any chance at all.
3) Start with a simple, four or five word mission statement or a cogent tag line -- something that crystallizes what this new effort is all about. Often, less is more. Look how powerful Make America Great Again (four words!) turned out to be.
4) Back it up with a few daring ideas for the future of the town. Make them clear, easy to understand and most of all, practical. Local issues revolve around non-idealogical bread and butter concerns like taxes, clean streets, safe neighborhoods, etc.
5) Start with baby steps. Choose your first battle strategically. Focus on getting just one elected official into office. Maybe it's a Township Council member or Board of Education member -- wherever and whenever the opportunity seems most advantageous.
Remember, the longest journey (and this one is still decidedly uphill) begins with a single step -- and a welcoming, can-do attitude. Avanti!
We're Celebrating - And With Good Reason!
