"...[The Declaration] was intended to be an expression of the American mind, and to give to that expression the proper tone and spirit called for by the occasion. All its authority rests then on the harmonizing sentiments of the day, whether expressed in conversation, in letters, printed essays, or in the elementary books of public right, as Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Sidney, etc." -Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Henry Lee, May 1825 The Declaration of Independence, its harmonizing sentiments, and the wisdom of Greeks, Romans, Englishmen, Scottish Enlightened Scholars, & even Irish Patriots, represent the Conservative American mind of today. Liberty is the independence of one society from another. And it follows that our condition upon which God has given us Liberty, requires our eternal vigilance each and every day... Thank you to Jefferson, and the rest of our American Forefathers

@RDT39933040 @RonFilipkowski Thanks for commenting..See above commentary for rebuttal. Joe Biden and his liberal administration did a terrible job.

@jtpolcey @RonFilipkowski Nope it was after TRUMPFLATION started in 2020.

There you have it. The Republican platform for 2026: Dems are communists & the only reason they’ve won elections is because China rigged them. Hopefully you won’t notice that the economy sucks & you are paying more for rent/gas/groceries because Republicans started another war.

The insidious nature of Rebcca’s vision can’t go unnoticed: she wants government intervention to pay for your family…she wants you to be DEPENDENT on government in order to survive. Meanwhile, it’s the inflationary policies of liberal Democrats that cause these problems in the first place

Child care is a crisis in this country. I have a plan to cap child care costs at 7% of any family’s income because New Jerseyans shouldn’t have to hand over our entire paychecks to make sure that our kids are safe and cared for.

@JrZimbabwe @RonFilipkowski @Virtuous_Intent @Knight27LOS @Double_You_Beee @THICK_D_DADDY One “maybe” case? Your supportive evidence is lacking.

@jtpolcey @RonFilipkowski @Virtuous_Intent @Knight27LOS @Double_You_Beee @THICK_D_DADDY Add this one to your list. cbsnews.com/news/wisconsin…

So the evil masterminds who supposedly rigged the election to defeat Trump in 2020 because he was a threat to the Deep State then let him win in 2024 and allowed his party to also win the senate and house?

Question for you: why would you need to see election fraud in order to prevent it? That type of thinking is backwards. In just about all cases of voter fraud, the discovery happens after the election, rendering the discovery moot relative to that election. Here are at least 80 cases (evidence, per your request) of ballot harvesting fraud that have occurred since around 2020. This doesn't even include foreign election interference, or the voting machines. Try again junior... conservatist.substack.com/p/the-conserva…

@jtpolcey @RonFilipkowski @Virtuous_Intent @Knight27LOS @Double_You_Beee @THICK_D_DADDY So no actual evidence of any illegal voting or manipulation of vote totals or anything like that. Thanks.

@RonFilipkowski @Virtuous_Intent @Knight27LOS @JrZimbabwe @Double_You_Beee @THICK_D_DADDY Attached are highlights of prominent Democrats and experts warning of election interference & hacking...what say you? x.com/KanekoaTheGrea…

@RonFilipkowski Did you actually listen to what the President said? "Every American, whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or otherwise, should be able to agree that we deserve the most secure, honest, and fair election system anywhere in the world."

@burgess90000 @InviteWisdom @RonFilipkowski Appreciate the comment. Fix what? I'd say the border was closed on "day one" or so. You're holding him to fixing all of America's problems in one day? If wishing made it so...

@jtpolcey @InviteWisdom @RonFilipkowski But Trump was supposed to fix this on "day one." He hasn't. The public holds him responsible. This isn't hard.

Economies have recuperative powers - that is to say, without government intervention. Re: the "depths of the depression": The unemployment rate in December 1929 peaked at 9%. By June of 1930 unemployment dropped to 6.3%. However, the consequent interventions leading to the "New Deal" liberal policies resulted in double-digit unemployment five months later, and it remained in double digits for the rest of the decade. More than that, the sinister conclusion that you are supporting is that people need government intervention in order to survive. That's a pernicious precedent, and it's a tactic used by FDR and Obama to, as the latter's Chief of Staff once said, "never [let] a serious crisis to go to waste". I hope you will think & vote conservatively. @crabman1967

@jtpolcey @RonFilipkowski Yes, money supply causes inflation. But as history taught during the depths of depression, government spending fuels recovery faster than laissez faire. It’s a trade off. And as noted it was the right decision even with the pain of bringing inflation back down.

The first thing to understand is California has jungle primaries, so that they can seal out any Republicans. Second, Nithya Raman lost on election day (and lost in her own district). On June 3-4, after the June 2nd election, Raman added over 82,000 absentee ballot votes (i.e., ballot harvesting), while Bass added 30k and Pratt added 44k. Raman surged 17 points after election day. Skid row is over 50 blocks. Homeless people were paid in cash, cigarettes, and drugs in exchange for voter registration. x.com/AndrewCFollett…

@jtpolcey @RonFilipkowski They counted the votes and the person running from the party with less than 20% of the registered voters did amazingly well. Unfortunately he did not do well enough to qualify for the runoff. Did you have other questions?

Trump now laying the groundwork to tamper with elections by claiming he is releasing evidence that our elections are compromised.

I appreciate your point. Even still, Biden signed roughly $3.8 trillion worth of stimulus through three bills - The American Rescue Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act - between 2021 and 2022. There was over 20% cumulative inflation under the Democrat administration. Money supply causes inflation. And once it hits, it sticks. The fact that Filipkowski and other liberal *visionaries* are arguing "affordability!" is highly dubious...it is the fault of liberals - their policies have caused the issues.

@jtpolcey @RonFilipkowski Actually around the Trump mismanagement of Covid. Supply chain shocks. Complete production shutdowns. It lead to worldwide inflation. It was always going to happen. Did a stimulus add to it, yes. At that point it was prudent economics. The US emerged the “envy” of the world.

Your claim of 10+% inflation is incorrect. In January 2021, the year-over-year inflation rate was 1.4%. It rose to over 9%, then dropped back down to 3% at the end of Joe Biden's term. In total, Biden signed roughly $3.8 trillion worth of stimulus through three bills - The American Rescue Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act - between 2021 and 2022. The peak inflation rate was over 9% in June 2022. Headline inflation as of June 2026 is ~3.5%. Your "has since gone up again under Trump" comment is fairly moot. But also, Filipkowski and the other liberals are touting "bad economy!"...meanwhile the inflation-adjusted price of gas was still higher under Biden then it is now under Trump 2.0 and the war in Iran. Look it up. @DrBLK00

@jtpolcey @RonFilipkowski Actually the 10+% inflation Biden inherited from Trump 1.0 was the result of the global Covid lockdown. Trump lost to Biden in 2020 largely because of his horrendous handling of the pandemic. Inflation fell 7 points during Biden's term and has since gone up again under Trump.

Amazing.

“At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.” -Abraham Lincoln Pass the SAVE America Act!

However, with SNAP fraud there is the issue of government intervention. The SNAP problem allows government workers at NJ DHS to get paid a salary to - intentionally or unintentionally - perpetuate fraud. Look up Thomas Sowell and what he said about the Labor Department and minimum wage laws

@wakeupnj Card skimming is no way bigger fraud than illegals and Americans that work cash jobs and collect or any other way they steal like the vermin they are

NJ food stamps fraud is RAMPANT, officials finally admit it EBT skimming stealing benefits left and right. Now rolling out chip cards in a few counties... because the old system was wide open. We the taxpayers footing the bill as usual nj.com/news/2026/07/f…

The Bovine Bull Ring is a dead giveaway: rebellious liberal leftist wears nose ring that signals she's really controlled by liberal social vision. Proceeds to attack Trump-and-ICE-supporting teenager on the Jersey Shore, gets detained by ICE. Point Pleasant teenager - 1, Canadian liberal - 0. Poetic justice (and a touch of Nemesis). Hopefully the teenage girl is ok.

The American Dream by way of the GI bill…@RebeccaForNJ07 is touting the conservative message and should be voting for Republicans: Harry Colmery (Chair of the Republican Veterans League, Chair of the RNC) drafted the GI Bill post WWII. Edith Rogers (Republican Congresswoman from MA for 35 years until her death in 1960), is considered the “Mother of the GI Bill”. Both the GI Bill that sent Rebecca to college, and the VA loan that got her a house, came from Republicans. Instead, she kowtows to the Democrat machine and childishly insults Tom Kean, Jr. Shameful.

I like to think of my story as one of the American Dream. But right now, that dream feels out of reach for too many New Jerseyans. I’m running so my kids, and yours, have those same opportunities to succeed.

Interesting. While I don't know the nature of your friend's construction biz, if the bids are getting undercut by bigger players, wouldn't that mean the bigger players are lowering prices (unless they are buying more bulk materials to absorb cost)? The stimulus from the Biden Admin created inflation via money supply...but inflation is a pesky and insidious tax that never goes away, unless you want deflation (which is an economic crash altogether). Once it hits, it sticks. But Rebecca Bennett quoting milk & gas prices in order to court your vote accomplishes nothing, especially not for your friend's construction firm.

@jtpolcey @RebeccaForNJ07 my buddy runs a small construction firm and his material costs are down 30% from 22 but his bids are still getting undercut by bigger players who never dropped prices. its not the stimulus thats keeping prices high now

We are living through a cost-of-living crisis in this country. I feel it every time I fill up my 2010 Honda Accord. But politicians in Washington are more worried about lining their own pockets than about how much we’re paying every day. I’m running to fix that.

I agree, we should tell Rebecca Bennett that. She is using gas and milk statistics to try and convince people to vote for her. I’m pointing out that she’s wrong on multiple levels. For one, despite the gulf conflict you pointed out, milk and gas are still cheaper than the Biden era.

@jtpolcey @RebeccaForNJ07 It depends which brand, type you buy and where.
