Stop ANTISEMITISM - Join Together Sunday 11/8!

ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) Philadelphia, American Jewish Committee Philadelphia/Southern NJ, The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, and StandWithUs strongly condemn the organized bicycle rally “Boycott Ride” planned for Sunday, November 8 at Rittenhouse Square.

Let’s be clear: This is antisemitism.  It is Jew-Hatred, plain and simple.

The flyer promoting the ride, circulated by Philly Writers Against the War on Gaza, names Dizengoff, Huda, Schlesinger’s, Mac Mart and other local businesses. Marking businesses for removal from Philadelphia is an attempt to intimidate, marginalize and exclude members of the Jewish community from the economic and civic life of our city. No business should be targeted because of the identity, heritage or perceived political beliefs of its owners.

The ride falls on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, November 9-10, 1938, when Nazi-organized mobs destroyed thousands of Jewish businesses, homes and synagogues in Germany and Austria, while thousands of Jews were beaten, assaulted and sent to concentration camps. The public targeting of Jewish businesses should alarm every person of conscience. We cannot allow such hatred to become normalized in Philadelphia.

Free speech protects political expression and criticism of Israeli government policies. It does not provide a license for threats, harassment, intimidation, or discrimination. There is a profound difference between criticizing a government and targeting businesses because their owners are Jewish or perceived to be connected to Israel.

We call on Mayor Cherelle Parker, Governor Josh Shapiro, District Attorney Larry Krasner and all elected officials and civic leaders to unequivocally condemn this campaign. Silence and equivocation are unacceptable when members of our community are being singled out and told they do not belong. We also urge the Philadelphia Police Department to ensure the safety of these businesses, their employees and their customers.

We also call on Philadelphians of every faith and background to stand with these businesses. Patronize them. Bring your families, friends, and colleagues. Counter this discriminatory boycott with increased business and visible solidarity.

Philadelphia must be a city where everyone can live, work, worship, and conduct business without fear of discrimination. Jewish businesses are an integral part of our city’s fabric, and they are not going anywhere.

We will not allow antisemitism to be disguised as activism. We will not accept efforts to intimidate Jewish businesses or drive them out of Philadelphia. And we will not remain silent.

The Man In The Arena: Fighting To The End!

A facebook friend reminds us:

Think about what you just saw… An 80 year old man just did 28 rallies in 30 days. Not just rallies… Trump rallies. Packed arenas.

People in line for hours. He does jokes, stories, ad lib and policy. He makes politics entertaining. While rallying GOP voters to save America.

He didn't have to do it. He could have done just a few appearances or held back, much like some of his predecessors.

But he's not like any who proceeded him and he never will be. No politician in US history can do what he does. He’s truly remarkable -- the man in the arena, standing alone if he has to but never, ever giving up.

Even taking a bullet for us. He's truly the GOAT. Now it’s up to us. We can’t let him down!

This DEMOCRAT Hits It Outta The Park!

🚨 NEW: Fox News’ liberal host Harold Ford Jr SLAMS liberal media for piling onto Haley Stevens and her mental health after she endorsed Mike Rogers. “So out of bounds.” “David Axelrod, Anderson Cooper, this young lady made a principled decision about a grievance she had with Mr El-Sayed. I know this: Democrats, if we’re asking Republicans to flip… how is that we are going to tell a Democrat that she can’t reconsider and look at a race and vote on her principles?” “I will be DAMNED if I am going to sit here and watch someone criticize this young woman for standing on her principles,” adds @HaroldFordJr

Can't Help But Ask About THIS . . .

 

Testa: NJ CAN Be More Business Friendly!

New Jersey State Senator Michael Testa (R-Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland) is pushing to make New Jersey’s business climate more competitive with new bipartisan legislation to significantly lower the State’s Corporate Business Tax (CBT) and eliminate the Corporate Transit Fee (CTF).

“New Jersey’s business taxes are among the highest in the nation and that puts us at a serious disadvantage when it comes to attracting new employers and keeping existing businesses here,” said Sen. Testa. “We’re seeing businesses, big and small, close up shop or invest in other states every time we read the news because our neighboring states are moving in the opposite direction, making it even harder for New Jersey to compete and create high-quality careers.

“We cannot keep asking businesses to pay more while wondering why they take their jobs and investment elsewhere. This bipartisan legislation is an important step toward turning that around, making New Jersey a more attractive place to do business, and encouraging economic growth. A stronger business climate means more opportunities for New Jersey workers, stronger communities, and a healthier economy for everyone.”

Specifically, the CBT would be reduced from 9% to 2.5% over several years.

Rooney: Springsteen's Phoney 'Common Ground'

By Matt Rooney (cross posted with permission from Save Jersey).

Bruce Springsteen wants Americans to find common ground, Save Jerseyans!

Apparently, his definition of common ground involves endorsing radical Democrats while accusing the people who disagree with him of being enemies of the Constitution.

The Boss took to social media to endorse Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, and offered this remarkably unifying assessment of American politics:

“Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%.”

How inspiring. Nothing brings Americans together quite like declaring the duly elected president of the United States and his administration anti-American.

Remember when Springsteen was supposedly interested in healing America’s divisions?

That was a nice song while it lasted.

The irony is especially rich coming from a guy who has spent years presenting himself as a voice for working-class Americans, national unity, and the supposedly forgotten people of the American heartland.

These days, the multimillionaire rock star’s political activism sounds considerably less like the guy who wrote Born to Run and more like a Democratic National Committee fundraising email.

And look at whom he’s endorsing:

El-Sayed isn’t some old-fashioned, blue-collar, lunch-pail Democrat looking to revive the political center. He’s a socialist champion of Medicare for All and other expansive government programs, precisely the sort of ideological agenda that has helped drive working-class voters away from the modern Democratic Party. He has also said deeply troubling things about gender, Jews, and his family’s ties to radical jihadism are unnerving.

But that’s apparently Springsteen’s idea of a bridge-builder.

The larger contradiction is impossible to miss.

Springsteen and his fellow celebrity progressives regularly lecture Americans about democracy, tolerance, and the importance of overcoming political divisions. Then, whenever an election approaches, they enthusiastically support the most ideologically aggressive elements of the Democratic coalition while describing their political opponents in the most inflammatory terms imaginable.

Disagree with Bruce about the direction of the country?

You’re not merely mistaken. You’re apparently on the wrong side of American democracy itself.

That’s not common ground. That’s political self-righteousness with a guitar soundtrack.

And perhaps that’s the real lesson here.

Springsteen is certainly entitled to his political opinions, his endorsements, and his increasingly predictable anti-Trump commentary. Nobody is suggesting otherwise.

But the next time he starts preaching about bringing Americans together, voters should remember what his version of unity actually looks like.

Everybody is welcome in Bruce Springsteen’s America.

Provided they vote Democrat. 

Right Now, Don't Forget THIS . . .

 

Truly A Moment For The History Books!

🚨 AWESOME! Sec. Marco Rubio walked out on stage with President Trump and 47 said — “If he gets any more popular, I’m gonna say, YOU’RE FIRED” 🤣 RUBIO: “The most important job every president does is keep you and your family safe. No president in my LIFETIME has done that better than the one we have right now!” 👏🏻 “Because he’s our president, America is stronger, you’re safer, and our enemies are weaker!” 🇺🇸 Trump is so proud of Marco because he’s going down as the ABSOLUTE GOAT This was 47’s final pre-midterm rally, and Rubio got to experience history with him
