    1. MENASHE THAT OWNS HIS OWN HOUSEJune 7, 2022 at 9:24 AM

      I’m still waiting for the committee men to thank me for giving themselves free lifetime health insurance on top of the huge raise they gave themselves this year. Next time they should ask me and the rest of the residents BEFORE they vote to take more money out of my wallet for doing nothing but destroy our overwhelmed infrastructure. Mechutzafim!

  6. Why did Smith vote for Bidens massive spending bill one of only 13 republicans to do so. And he did not get a penny for Route 9. He is out of touch and does favors for special interests and the well connected. Time for fresh blood

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. He was never properly lobbyed by the powers that be to widen route 9 because they don't care about us

      Delete
    2. 1. He voted with the 39% of Republicans in the Senate.
      2. As a member of the minority he has no ability to direct funding to a specific project.

      Delete
  7. Who should we vote for?

    Replies
    1. Makes no difference cuz whoever wins the vaad claims credit for and they use the power of the voting block to get funding and grants for their own businesses leaving the olam with nothing. This has been going on in Lakewood for the last 40 years. It is always the same 3 organizations getting money while the needs of the people are ignored

      Delete
  8. Don’t you realize everything the vaad does is for our own good? It’s all about us

  9. Don't vote for Chris Smith.

    He voted to raise minimum wage to $15.
    He voted to give hundreds of billions of dollars to "study clean energy".
    He voted for a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
    He voted to keep Obama care intact.
    He voted to condemn Trump for suing to block Obama care.
    He voted for gun control measures like longer wait times before firearm transfers.
    He voted for universal background checks.
    He voted against Republicans attempting to secure money for border wall.
    He voted against making the 2017 individual tax cuts permanent.
    He voted against the 2017 tax cuts themselves.

    1. Clean energy means cheaper everything, why should someone be against that? Especially as we are paying the price for so much pollution. Climate change isn't politics, it's a reality, visible in so many places in the world. The rich will survive, and the poor will die out.
      What's wrong with a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants? How do we lose from that?
      Obamacare is great. So many of us gained from it, including myself personally.
      Gun control measures are great for all of us. We don't need more guns.
      Universal background checks are a no-brainer. Do we want every depressed drug addict getting his hands on guns?
      Border wall? Who needs that? We don't gain anything from border walls. In fact, we need more immigrants. The labor market desperately needs them.
      The 2017 tax cuts were a mistake, and the deficit will be a problem in the future.

      Vote for Chris Smith, he isn't a party line moron.

      Delete
    2. Crispi blocks ppl on Twitter who ask him any questions. He supports anti Semites.
      I'm sure he'll be super helpful to Jews. Not.

    1. What a stupid thing to say!
      One person losing his temper is an inner matter. When a Kehilla supports it and sends an organized pogrom, it is entirely different.
      Remember, Reb Uren has a brother a Gerrer. He has no reason to hate them.

      Delete
    2. if you would be open minded and listen to what he says you would understand the difference. He explains it clearly

      Delete
  11. Vote for Chris Smith
    He has always helped any of his constituents
    Vote for him despite the vaad endorsement

  12. Reb Moshe Hillel might come, yet we still don't know why it is taking place and what the purpose is

  13. The polling places in Lakewood are empty. Crispi has a good shot of defeating Chris Smith.

    1. Guess what?! Times have changed. You can now vote by mail and many have taken advantage of that.

  14. Hahaha if climate change is a real thing why will the rich survive and the poor die? AOC and Bernie have told us we’d be dead many times over. You seriously buy this garbage?

    1. There are actual experts in these things, climatologists and geologists who study these thing, and have accurately modeled the future for years.
      Politicians are not an accurate source for this kind of thing, from any party.

    2. According to what Al Gore said 21 years ago. You're already under water by now.

    3. That's why the rich leftist are buying ocean front properties, because they believe their own BS?

  15. In Ponovez the throw shtenders while the Roshei Yeshivas are watching and and that’s not organized??

  16. Just because the polling places in Lakewood are empty doesn’t mean anything. There is a whole big state out there🙄

  17. It's not one person in Ponoviz it's the Peleg vs soinim every year ELUL. The litvak power struggle to make a gadol hador

    1. So that’s acceptable? And doesn’t require a mecha’a from R Reich, But when Ger is involved it’s a pogrom and the whole world has to say their De’ah. Makes a lot of sense to me.

      Delete
    2. No comparison as R Reich explained so eloquently, I advise you to listen to his beautiful words carefully.

      Delete
    3. What Ger did to the RSA faction has surpassed anything we have seen so far. From Satmar to Ponovezh, Peleg to Bobov.
      The way it was instigated by the rabonim, an organized pogrom targeting people in their houses, on Shabbos. It just looks too much like Kishinev or Kristalnacht.
      Many rabonim have spoken up, and many more would want to, they just don't want the repercussions that such a machaa would cause.
      And yes, bochurim fighting over seats and dorm rooms isn't in the same universe as this kind of rishus. Ger has proved itself to be the true חיות as declared by an old sage a long time ago. Not חיות הקודש, but true animals

  18. There NEVER has been orders from the Roshei yeshiva in Ponovhez to conduct a pogrom as there was now from the infamous Vaada Hatachtona in gur. This was an all out orchestrated POGROM conducting in four cities in EY at the same time.

    It is actually about time that the whole world is getting involved in the despicable acts of ger where, among other atrocities, they are robbing children of their parents and parents of their children. Hopefully the Maachaa will continue until the horrible people of the vaada realize that this behavior cant continue. Financial and social pressures need to continue until the regime rethinks its destructive ways. They need to stop blaming their narcissistic behavior on God and yiddishkeit. Accomplishing this will be the biggest chesed for thousands of decent Chassidei Gur who are horrified about what happened to their once beautiful chassidus and are in anguish about the horrible poison that their children are being fed

  19. So does the gerer rebbe condone violence? He’s the only one silent.

    1. You’re right, why should we believe experts who have studied a topic for years? It makes much more sense to believe politicians, talk show hosts and the guy scratching his posterior in the Mikva. They know much better
