ReplyDeleteIf you don’t want to keep sitting in ever-worsening traffic and watching your services continue to decline, don’t vote for any of the candidates the askanim and local papers are telling you to vote for. Make a difference. Protect your rights
ReplyDeleteThis time, it’s not about the candidate — it’s about making a statement. We’re suffering, and it’s clear that the current leadership isn’t working for us. It’s time for a complete change. We need new leaders who actually represent the people. Send a message, Demand better.
ReplyDeleteDon't be a fool
ReplyDeleteThe lakewood media and askanim are bought off to push their candidate
They want you to register as a Democrat and vote gottheimer in the primary who is pro abortion and LGBT wokeism
This is all orchestrated be careful Lakewood
The post about BMG millionaires is bogus. In a follow up post it’s apparent that he is counting homeownership in Lakewood toward the million dollars. That’s simply a function of the real estate market, not the college education or savvy business acumen.
ReplyDeleteTo quote his post
ReplyDelete“ Many BMG alumni achieve millionaire status by purchasing property early in high-growth areas, with homes exceeding $1 million on average.”
i believe Andy Kim is an anti semite when he was in congress he was one of a handful of senators that signed a letter against Israeli settlements YES that includes Kiryat sefer, Beitar, Neve yakov, Ramat shlomo etc
ReplyDeleteIt is not the goal of BMG nor is it a source of pride to produce millionaire’s. It shows the sad state of affairs that people actually get excited about such a valueless accomplishment of a Yeshiva.
ReplyDeleteEfraim feder is paid by Gottheimer liason Tzvi Herman don't fall for this Lakewood
ReplyDeleteWe are not shills for the dirty demo
GOTTHEIMER VOTED TO IMPEACH TRUMP
Omg he voted to impeach Rabenu trump??!! That is crazy. What is wrongs with people who dare to vote for someone who would do something as terrible as that?
DeleteDespite your stupid sarcasim, it is indeed self-defeating to vote for a clown who was part of hindering the president through bogus impeachments.
DeleteI certainly wouldn't want anyone hindering the president from destroying all of our 401ks. Chas vshalom we should have a little money to live on in retirement.
DeleteWhoever is pushing Lakewood to register as democrats in a primary are putting the olam in Sakana we are risking everything for someone that is behind in the polls literally playing with fire
ReplyDeleteShame on the media for promoting this dangerous idea.
