The local politicians who were elected no longer represent or defend the community.
ReplyDeleteThe frum assemblyman is voting with left-wing liberals against Trump era policies that the Lakewood community overwhelmingly supported.
Why is everyone silent about this?
Why are the rabbonim who urged the community to vote now quiet when dangerous legislation allowing criminals to roam our streets is being supported?
This is not the will of the people.
What legislation about criminals was supported?
DeleteStop buying your political propaganda.
Perhaps it is, Lots of numbskulls
DeleteLakewood never had true representation the politicians are appointed by powerful individuals who abuse the voting bloc for themselves this has always been the game the latest assembly debacle was to provide nursing home relief with false promises of free tuition to fool the olam to vote.
DeleteThis gneivas Dass has a shtemple of daas Torah that comes out by election time but you don't see any accountability once they are elected
The “Hamoin AM” of Lakewood should be big enough to get organized in a smart way to get their needs met.with collaboration of the “power class” .its not a Stira to each other.
Delete2:40 -- the anti ICR legislation mentioned in yesterday's post, to begin with.
DeleteI dont think in lakewood they buy the peltz.
ReplyDeleteThe paid off media outlets are portraying ICE operations as random arrests of Mexican laborers who are hardworking, family-oriented members of the community. This framing ignores the fact that ICE is targeting individuals with criminal records and deporting them accordingly. Left-wing talking points have infiltrated the narrative as politicians look to score points with Trenton, rather than prioritizing the safety and security of Lakewood residents
ReplyDeleteSure.
DeleteDo you have any reason to believe that the 600,000 people deported were criminals? Any source, proof, or evidence?
Or do you just choose to believe so, because of political affiliation?
2 people in Lakewood were killed by a illegal drunk driver with prior DWI arrests in NJ and he was released onto the streets instead he should have been deported.
Delete“Governor Murphy and his sanctuary policies released this serial criminal into New Jersey communities,” said Tricia McLaughlin, an assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. “Now, this innocent family is shattered by their failed leadership. President Trump and Secretary Noem will continue to do everything in their power to remove these criminal illegal aliens before they destroy more lives.”
And Shcnall voted against this...does he care about Lakewood citizens ?
DeleteThe frum media and watsapp chats are paid off they have zero credibility no matter how loud they scream that they are here for the klal. They are on the take and quite frankly dishonest that they don't disclose who pays them to get promoted and push

DeleteSoon Vishnitz will be like Nadvorn, all Rebbes, NO Chassidim. Lol
ReplyDeleteTechnically it does drain the school budget due to the formula of the state.So its not like this YouTuber is making up lies.He just looks a bit confused about what’s going on as if KJ fell off the moon form Mars. 2)I also believe the state takeover is a good thing like the primary askanim have stated,so the state can deal with the problem directly.there will be a bit of pain as the community gets accustomed to some of the states new Hakpados but overall I think we should THank the state and federal government for all their “assistance” as Reb Moishe writes in a Teshuva.
ReplyDeletePartially agree.The demands the State can conjure up could be beyond any decent limit
DeleteAlso how will the media will spin it ?How the orthodox Jews failed in their own district?
