JACKSON, NJ – Although he moved his training outdoors local gym owner Anthony Kapasakis called the state of New Jersey after indoor private training was declared allowed.  The state said his plan to allow customers back indoors under the state’s new guidelines was acceptable.  A month later, Kapasakis’ Old Bridge SETS Hybrid Training location was shut down by the Old Bridge Police Department.  In response, he has also closed his gyms in Jackson and Freehold to avoid getting into a situation like the owners of the Atilis Gym in Bellmawr.

Kapasakis believes he was following Governor Murphy’s 157th executive order and nearly 9,000 customers later, had a 0% COVID-19 positivity rate since opening in late July.   That order allowed for personalized individual training.  Now, Kapasakis, like hundreds of gym owners across the state will have to wait until Murphy lets his science decide the fate of the industry.

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, NJ –  Stockton University and Amy Jones Roezell have dropped their completely ridiculous claim against a university student who declared his support for President Donald J. Trump and his love for America.    Robert Dailyda, a student who is going for his doctorate degree was notified last week that the charges would be dropped, a mediation session would be scheduled and he can return to his studies.

“The University is withdrawing the charge under the Campus Conduct Code set forth in my letter dated August 10, 2020. We will schedule a mediation to address the concerns that were the basis of the charge regarding your Facebook post that was forwarded to your doctoral faculty on July 1, 2020. I will contact you shortly to schedule the date, time and location for the mediation,” read a letter from Craig Stambaugh, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, Engagement and Community Development.   “If you wish to continue your doctoral program, then you should contact Heather Medina, the Interim Director of Admissions, who will provide guidance on the process to rescind your recent withdrawal. In addition, John Smith, the Director of Academic Operations, can provide guidance if you wish to complete the summer course from which you withdrew on July 18, 2020. Thank you for sharing your concerns and suggestions about the Campus Hearing Board process. I forwarded the information to the Vice President for Student Affairs. In the meantime, please know that the University remains committed to providing an environment that permits and protects freedom of expression.”

Here’s what happened last month:

A Stockton University student is facing disciplinary charges including harassment and cyberbullying. If found guilty, he will have to attend a social justice workshop.  Amy Jones Rozell, the Director of Care and Community Standards at the university filed a report against a student, Robert Dailyda.

Rozell claims Dailyda, “On July 1, 2020 the university was made aware of a post made by Mr. Robert (Bob) Dailyda to his personal Facebook account that at the time was open to the public. Several individuals stated that they found the post offensive, threatening, and concerning. This post came after an incident that occurred in class where Mr. Dailyda put up a virtual background picture of President Trump which caused several individuals in his cohort to feel offended, disrespected, and taunted. Mr. Dailyda and a few of his classmates discussed the virtual background event over a Group Me chat and although the discussion became heated, it did not become threatening, and Mr. Dailyda left the Group Me to avoid continued conflict.”

Those that reported the Facebook post indicated that they felt the language to be angry, potentially violent, racist, and intolerant. Several individuals mentioned concern that the post specifically referenced Stockton’s doctoral program.

The post on Facebook stated: “I have gotten to the point that I have to say something. I love this country. We are a diverse, yet assimilated population from all backgrounds. I believe all must have the same opportunities and I commit to make that a priority. Beyond that, I am done with the leftist agenda of BLM and the white self-haters. I have seen it in action in my doctoral classes at Stockton and the general media. I’m not backing down. If we can’t get past this, ok, I’m ready to fight to the death for our county and against those that want to take it down. I believe there are also many like me.”

Rozell claims that post generated comments, by others, not Dailyda that were perceived as harassing, intimidating and threatening to other students.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Jone’s role as Director of Care and Community Standards is to oversee the student conduct process, serve as a Title IX Deputy Coordinator, develop and implement a case management program, chair and manage the University’s Behavioral Intervention Team.

TRENTON, NJ – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy responded to President Donald J. Trump’s lawsuit against this year’s mail-in-ballot election telling the President to “Bring it on”.

“If vote-by-mail is good enough for the President, it’s good enough for us,” Murphy said. “As the President and his team try to delegitimize our election and impact the health and safety of millions of New Jerseyans, we will defend our rights vigorously and we will not back down.”

“Bring it on,” the Governor said.

TRENTON, NJ – It’s hard to get anything these days at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, but this one New Jersey driver took matters into his own hands when he couldn’t get a license plate for his car.

“I’m your huckleberry.”

TOMS RIVER, NJ – Ocean County voters are now receiving letters from Wyatt Earp, yes, that’s really his real name, no kidding, telling them that their July primary ballots were not counted. One resident, Tom Taylor shared the letter he received from Wyatt Earp.

“This letter is to inform you that your ballot for the July 7th, 2020 Primary Election was rejected by the Ocean County Election Board of Commissioners for the following reason:

Returned a mail-in ballot.

The letter to Thomas Taylor was pretty uninformative and boilerplate, so he called the election office to find out what the hell happened and why he’s getting letters from 19th-century lawmen.

By the way, you should stop reading this right now and call the election board to see if your vote counted if you live in Ocean County. That number is 732-929-2167. We’d love to hear your story after you call.

“Received this in the mail today from Ocean County Board of Elections. I personally filled out ballot at polling location. When I called to question this they tell me a mail in ballot had already been cast from me. I assured them I had not nor ever mailed ballot in my life,” Taylor said.  “They then told me they are going to look into it. If this doesn’t stink of voter rigging I don’t know what does.”

Yes, Tom, it does smell like voting fraud.  Wyatt Earp also happens to be the Chairman of the Ocean County Democrat Party. He and Ocean County Republican Party Chairman Frank Holman run the Wild West election board here in Ocean County along with Beth McGuckin, the EX-WIFE of political pay-to-play lawyer Greg McGuckin.  Only in Hooterville.

We promise. It’s not a joke. That’s really his real name, even though Holman looks more like Wyatt Earp than Wyatt Earp does.

TRENTON, NJ – The United States Postal Service says it’s losing money and is need of a financial bailout due to COVID-19’s business shut down, but that’s not stopping New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal from launching a lawsuit against the struggling agency.

Quarantines, stay-at-home orders, and travel and logistics restrictions in connection with the outbreak have affected retail and commercial customers, as well as suppliers and mail service providers. The Postal Service relies on the sale of postal products and services to fund its operations and is significantly impacted by factors including, but not limited to, overall customer demand, the mix of postal services and contribution associated with those services, and the volume of mail and packages processed through its network.

As a result of the pandemic, and to a lesser extent, secular mail declines, the Postal Service’s sales from mail services, its largest sales category, continued to significantly decline during the third quarter.

Grewal today tweeted, “I can confirm: New Jersey will be suing @USPS. . Voting by mail is safe, secure, and reliable. We intend to keep it that way. As AG, I’ve made it my mission to hold accountable those who try to corrupt our political process. Lawsuit coming soon.”

“The ability to borrow an additional $10 billion under the CARES Act addresses the Postal Service’s near-term liquidity crisis but does not address the Postal Service’s broken business model. It merely postpones the impending liquidity crisis and the borrowings must be repaid in a period where cash shortages are forecasted,” the post office said.

Now the post office, already in financial distress will have to stave off a politically motivated lawsuit from Gurbir Grewal and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy who are both hellbent on having the service be the primary delivery method for federal election ballots this upcoming November.

BELLMAWR, NJ – Defiant New Jersey gym owners Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti, owners of the Bellmawr based Atilis Gym were back in court today and received over $134,463 in fines.

“Governor Murphy once again gets his wishes in his home court with Judge Robert Lougy. Frank and I have once again been unable to speak and defend ourselves, we have once again been subject to a court over the telephone, and are now being fined over $15,000 per day. The police are once again coming to arrest us and construct a barricade in front of our building. We are not backing down,” Smith said.

From August 10th, the gym is to pay $15,497.73 per day for each day they are in operation in addition to having to pay $146,00 for violating the litigant’s (Murphy’s) rights.   They must also pay $10,481 to the Attorney General’s Office for their legal fees.

Smith said the state also ordered the gym to be permanently barricaded to stop the owners from continuing to open during the long-extended Murphy lockdown.   He also said he feels that he and his partner will be arrested again.

“We’ll be arrested for the second time for the serious crime of operating a business,” he said.

Smith cited a 1998 Supreme Court ruling that barred the government from charging excessive fines in cases such as this.

NEWARK, NJ – The FBI, in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, is asking for the public’s assistance to identify potential victims of an alleged sexual predator who hired sex workers and physically raped, assaulted, terrorized, and/or cheated the unsuspected parties.

Jose Torres, a 43-year-old, is currently in federal custody and charged with four counts of coercion and enticement in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Torres has travelled frequently throughout the years and is suspected to have committed these offenses throughout the country, to include New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, South Carolina, and California. Torres has been preying on sex workers for over 10 years and is believed to have numerous victims. Torres would locate his victims by utilizing various sex worker websites, including EROS, Erotic Monkey, Tryst, Backpage, etc. From there, he would entice them to meet by offering large sums of money and groom his victims towards engaging in sex trafficking activities at his direction or command. Most of his meetings would require the sex worker to travel interstate, many times at their own expense.

If you believe you may have been victimized by Jose Torres, or he has solicited your services, please email [email protected]. Your response is voluntary but would be useful in the federal investigation to identify you as a potential victim. Based on the response provided, you may be contacted by the FBI and asked to provide additional information.

The FBI is legally mandated to identify victims of federal crimes that it investigates and provide these victims with information, assistance services, and resources.

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ – On July 4th of this year, 27-year-old Aaron Carr was surfing in the ocean off Point Pleasant Beach when he was thrown off his surfboard and hit the ocean floor head first.  According to his aunt, Ruthie Harrison, Carr almost drowned and was rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center.

“He is paralyzed from the waist down due to a spinal injury and on a ventilator,” Harrison said.  “Aaron loved to surf, ski, snowboard and he is the kindest young man I’ve ever met. He would do anything to help anyone. He will be in Jersey Shore for about a month followed by months of rehab. Our family needs prayers and a miracle to make him walk again. His home will need to be retrofitted big time to accomodate his needs.”

“He will also need equipment and help with co-pays,” she said. “If you can contribute anythiing at all to Aaron it would be most appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.”

A Facebook fundraiser has been set up here.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NJ – Cumberland County correctional officer Rome Smith, who works for the county’s juvenile detention unit has been suspended after posting on Facebook that 5-year-old Cannon Hinnan, a white child, should have ducked when he was brutally shot and murdered by 25-year-old Darius Sessoms, a black man.  Many believe the child’s murder was racially motivated.

“He should’ve ducked” Rome said. “Y’all always trying to sneak diss and discredit a black person being killed innocently by police. Blame cannon’s parents for not watching him.”

All of Smith’s social media pages are now either private or have been deleted.

We will not tolerate County employees using social media to broadcast hateful messages,” said Cumberland County Freeholder Director Joseph Derella. “This is not who we are and we intend to pursue the strongest action available to us.”

Hinnant was murdered by Sessoms while riding his bike outside his family’s home in Wilson, North Carolina when he was shot in the head and killed. Sessoms is being held in jail on first-degree murder charges.

He was arrested without incident after surrendering himself at the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office in Jersey City.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NJ  –  Way back in 2010, nobody in Jackson wanted to hire former Paterson Mayor Jose “Joey” Torres to a $121,000 job as the Jackson Township business administrator. That is, except for Mayor Michael Reina and his puppet council members.  In fact, there was an hours-long debate that raged (see videos below) from former Mayor Michael Kafton and the public as to why Reina should not hire his latest political hack to the position.  The deal was facilitated by Reina and the Republican party to give Torres, a lifelong Democrat safe haven in Jackson with a large salary so he can get his three-year pension bump before returning to Paterson to run for mayor again.

Torres eventually left Jackson and went back to Paterson where he became mayor…then got himself put in jail for political corruption.  It was the same sort of political corruption that he got away with for several years in Jackson while he was bumping his pension and riding high on the hog in Jackson, courtesy of Mayor Michael Reina.

Now, he’s out of jail and wants Jackson Township to continue to pay for his free lifetime medical benefits.

Torres, now 61, had to resign himself from the position of mayor in Paterson upon entering prison, he lost his free benefits.

According to a story over at NJ.com, his time on the job as business administrator in Jackson and his increased pension qualified him for the health benefits.  Torres told NorthJersey.com he had no idea why the state dropped his benefits.  Maybe it had something to do with a political corruption conviction and prison sentence?

He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2017 for having city employees work on private projects for his family and friends during working hours, paid for by the city.  He was released on parole in 2018 after serving just 13 months in prison.
