@MattFriedmanNJ says Murphy’s real legacy isn’t policy—it’s the chaos from Tammy Murphy’s failed Senate run, which sparked a revolt against NJ’s county line, weakened party bosses, and helped Andy Kim win, effectively ending it. bit.ly/4qkgpPH

Like similar authoritarians, Murphy existed in a bubble, pulling his certainties and the priorities they created from somewhere other than the overtaxed and under-served residents of the state he governed for eight years and forced compliance to his will. bit.ly/4jHzR6G

It looks like some well-connected GOP political consultant was playing talent scout, found a plausible candidate who promised to self-fund and hire the consultant… Next came the “NJ Globe hustle” giving the impression that something is a done deal. bit.ly/4pFrwSl

The “Financial State of the States” report shows 25 states couldn’t pay their bills in FY2024—and New Jersey ranked dead last. This is a golden issue for the NJGOP: fiscal failure is a clear, powerful rallying cry to win back a majority. bit.ly/45bwsqK

Before Hanlon became NJGOP Chair, Moms for Liberty flagged her 2018 GSE event. We defended her. Now groups allege she was tied to a $100K GSE grant. With no response from Hanlon, this deserves public scrutiny. Stay tuned. bit.ly/4qq8q3y

The 2026 congressional races are already dominated by chaos in Washington—war threats, unrest, nonstop drama. But 2027, when all of NJ’s Legislature is on the ballot, can be a referendum on one-party failure—if the NJGOP starts now. bit.ly/4qMTJrp

it seems to us that the first order of business for the new NJGOP is to do something along the lines of restoring boundaries. Hammer in the stakes of your “big tent” with the clear understanding that it takes in this much and no further. bit.ly/3N1UK0a

Thankfully, Christine Hanlon’s victory wasn’t close. She defeated Rosemary Becchi 26 to 15. Hanlon needed them all to leave no doubt. bit.ly/44Xinx1

Three of four @njgop chair candidates answered questions from 150+ grassroots conservatives in Brick Township, hosted by America First Republicans of NJ and allies. Emcee @mikecrispinj slammed Rosemary Becchi for skipping. bit.ly/4pXj7KJ

The NJGOP chair selection is anti-democratic. Insiders shut out grassroots now, then demand “unity” later. Don’t be shocked when much of the GOP base asks why—and reminds them you’re either always in, or always out. bit.ly/3YkQxHc

GSE’s supporters and funders need to exercise oversight as the same process is applied to the scandal they are attempting to sort out. bit.ly/4qijrUg

Rosemary Becchi’s Jersey 1st was tied to Bill Spadea’s Common Sense network, with money flowing before his gubernatorial run. Now party boss George Gilmore is backing Becchi for NJGOP Chair—while Spadea insiders circle back, eyeing power and paydays. bit.ly/44CI45N

Good government depends on a strong opposition that checks the majority and preserves balance. The @NJGOP shouldn’t chase “common ground.” It should give New Jersey voters a real choice—a clear alternative vision, and a better one. bit.ly/48LkHJI

Steve Lonegan’s campaign for NJGOP Chairman will be hosting a Telephone Town Hall this evening. Here are the details: What is the Future of the Republican Party in New Jersey? Thursday, December 18, 2025 – 7pm RSVP: tthm.wufoo.com/forms/what-is-…

According to the latest IRS 990 tax return posted on its website, Garden State Equality (GSE) received $2,058,827.00 in government funding. GSE also collected $219,025.00 in revenue from “education services”. bit.ly/48ZXD95

“Silent consent” isn’t neutral—it’s assumed agreement. Voters notice when GOP leaders condemn others over tragedy, then go silent when it’s inconvenient. Consistency matters. Selective outrage isn’t leadership, and it never goes unnoticed. bit.ly/4s0RFxi

Strong opposition checks corruption & ideological dominance. NJ is sliding toward a one-party system, with both parties serving the same moneyed interests & “bipartisanship” replacing real opposition. bit.ly/4qgog0x

The @NJGOP is in a quandary. They don’t know who they are or what a Republican should stand for. The GOP base does know. When elected Republicans forget who they are they go soft and “collaborate” with the Democrats. They self-harm. bit.ly/4acZREg

NJ Republicans must stop treating “compromise” as a winning strategy. The Bramnick approach cost two Assembly seats and alienates voters who want real Republican leadership. To win, leaders like Sen. Bucco must stop looking back and fight the good fight. bit.ly/3KX40BV

A NJ.com column targeting Pete Hegseth exposes a double standard. If he’s condemned, what about Obama’s drone strikes that killed U.S. citizens without trial? This is why Americans don’t trust political elites. bit.ly/4pXzYwE
