Jeff Van Drew(D) (R) did it and people think he is doing a great job. Dyed in the wool Dems hate him, that politics. It's a blood sport. Jeff was always a supporter of the 2A even when he was a Dem.

Congressman Van Drew Expresses Outrage With Additional Fees Placed on New Jerseyans During a Recession

New Jersey - Today, Congressman Van Drew expressed his outrage with the decision by Governor Murphy to approve the increase in tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway for the third year in a row.

"Yet again, New Jerseyans are facing the repercussions of state officials playing politics by refusing to find real solutions to lower the costs of goods and services," said Congressman Van Drew. "Instead of proposing ways to help the people of New Jersey deal with 40-year-high inflation, Governor Murphy has decided that individuals should pay more. Congress has allocated hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure projects to states, including New Jersey, so there is absolutely no reason that tolls should be increasing during a recession. While other states are devising ways to help their people survive this economic crisis, Governor Murphy and the state of New Jersey are exacerbating this dire situation by making it more expensive to travel.

"People are hurting. New Jersey families cannot afford any more price increases when inflation is costing them an additional $726 per month, when grocery prices are costing an additional $114 per month, and when energy prices are costing an additional $129 per month going into the winter season. New Jerseyans need solutions, not more fees."

Tulsi Gabbard on the Jack Carr "Danger Close" Podcast:

Hey how about that? Tulsi was in my neighborhood with Jack Carr.

Thanks for the video.

Apparently Tulsi Gabbard has both endorsed Republican Tudor Dixon for Michigan Governor and actively campaigned for her in Michigan.

Caught her on Jack Carrs podcast. It was the first time I really paid any attention to her. I came away impressed.

She is one of the few Democrats I will actually listen to. She is smart, logical, and has thought through her responses. I may not agree with all her positions, but I do respect her.

She's no longer a Democrat.

As I learned on Jack’s show, Tulsi now has her own podcast. Someone better than me can link it with a picture but here is her recent episode on the 2nd Amendment.

^^^ Typical grandiose political speech with nothing specific, just trying to pacify all sides.

Just sent her my specific question,

quote:

Hi Tulsi,

I appreciate that you have finally seen the present day Democrat Party for what it is, and you are all for protecting our God given Constitutionally guaranteed rights. What are your takes on the Democrats' continued attempt to ban so-called "hi capacity" magazines and military looking semi-automatic rifles (which they continue to lie and call them assault weapons)?? Thank you for giving your thoughts on this.

I'll eat two servings of crow, if she comes back with a definite answer such as, "I'm against the ban".

^^^^^^^^

Yea…I think your missing it entirely.

My fault.

Her podcast on the 2A is an hour long. She clearly says that she has changed her opinion regarding the 2nd.

Sorry about that. Here is the entire show with guest Steve Scalise.

Tulsi Gabbard just declared at tonight's Trump Rally (Greensboro, NC) that she's joining the GOP!

The "extra scrutiny" she was getting at airports was probably the tipping point.

I truly believe that the assault on the first amendment has opened the eyes of many regarding the assaults on the second amendment. This may or may not be the case with Tulsi. If you pay attention to those that were for “sensible” gun control or were indifferent to the attacks on the second amendment, that all changed after Elon bought Twitter. Now that the curtain has been pulled back and people recognize the lies and censorship, it is beginning to reshape their entire political dogma.

I welcome Tulsi and will give her the benefit of doubt until she proves me otherwise. If this movement back to American ideals is to be successful, we need to welcome those waking up. There are so many people on our side and even this board that seem to find pessimism in everything. You know the people who sabotage and take the wind out of the sails of every bit of positive gains. If that is you, you are as big a problem as the RINOs themselves.
