WASHINGTON, D.C.-Founded by Congressman Andy Kim, Rise Stronger was a group that called for a leftist, progressive revolution in the United States. It operated in secret until in 2018, the campaign for his opponent Tom MacArthur discovered its existence.

Kim was, according to MacArthur, the leader of this “resistance”, evidenced by a welcome message from the group on its website and Facebook page from Kim and several resistance lectures held by Kim, such as one at the Fels Institute of Government.

“The Fels Institute is proud to host Andy Kim, the founder of RISE Stronger,” Fels Institute advertised the seminar.

Now, Rise Stronger is alive and well once again, this time as “Rise District“.  Kim, who now works his constituents calling for bi-partisanship in government is less than one year removed the day he shut down his own “Rise Stronger” propaganda sites.

“Andy Kim founded and served on the Board of Directors for an extreme organization – Rise Stronger – that has aligned itself with an individual who called for “jihad” against the United States government and that promoted books authored by convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers,” MacArthur said at the time.  “Andy Kim has taken thousands of dollars from extreme politicians who want to abolish ICE and even refused to defend ICE when asked 16 times.”

Kim shut down any public access to his own radical rendition of Rise Stronger late last summer.

Now, the group is back at it, promoting leftist propaganda and they’re even hiring a Facebook moderator to work with their team.

Rise Stronger, since its days of promoting cop killers and terrorists, now promotes white fragility, resistance to every action by President Trump, Black Lives Matter and other radical progressive ideas.

“I felt very detached as an activist,” Kim said. “I would spend a lot of my time trying to nudge or pressure individuals.”

The resurgence of Rise Stronger began shortly after the swearing in of Kim as a Congressman.   Kim coined his resistance movement the “United States of Resistance”.

According to an interview with NBC, Kim said he expected a small group of D.C. types to join, but the network has quickly grown to over 50,000 people nationwide, with chapters in nearly every state and several policy working groups. It also organized a conference over Inauguration Weekend in DC.

These days, Kim remains silent about his affiliation to the group he started as he works to reshape his image as a congressman who cares about constituents on both sides of the political aisle, but his past tells a far different story than the spit-shine persona he tries to project as a congressman.

TOMS RIVER, NJ-Today the Ocean County Republican Organization formally announced the recommendation of the 2019 Candidate Screening Committee. The committee met with and interviewed candidates for County Freeholder, County Sheriff, and candidates for Assembly in the 9^th, 10^th, 12^th, and 30^th Districts.

For countywide offices, the committee issued unanimous recommendations for Freeholder Director Ginny Haines, Freeholder Deputy Director Jack Kelly and Sheriff Michael Mastronardy. The committee was again unanimous in their recommendations of DiAnne Gove and Brian Rumpf in the 9^th District, Greg McGuckin in the 10^th District, Ron Dancer and Rob Clifton in the 12^th District, and Sean Kean and Ned Thomson in the 30^th District.

Earlier this year, Assemblyman David Wolfe announced he would not be seeking reelection. That announcement prompted many highly qualified candidates to seek the open seat for Assembly in the 10^th District. Our Screening Committee interviewed Mayor Stephen Reid from Point Pleasant Beach, D’Arcy Green of Mantoloking, Councilman Dan Rodrick from Toms River, and Councilman Jim Davis from Lakehurst. We also had three candidates from Brick appear before the committee. They were Ruthanne Scaturro, John Catalano and Samantha DeAlmeida of Brick. Chairman Gilmore said “I encouraged to see the rebirth of the Republican Party in Brick. Ruthanne has answered the call anytime the party needed someone to step up and John has been a tireless advocate for candidates up and down the ballot.” Speaking in regards to Sam, Chairman Gimore continued, “At just 29 years old, Sam represents the future of the Republican party not only in Brick, but throughout the entire state. I have encouraged Sam to continue to build relationships and gain valuable experience at the local level, and I am hopeful that she will consider running for Council in Brick.”

The Screening Committee faced a tough decision with seven highly qualified individuals deciding to enter the race. After much deliberation, the committee came to a clear consensus with a recommendation that John Catalano from Brick should be the next candidate to represent the 10^th District. Upon hearing the endorsement of the committee Chairman Gilmore said, “John will be a tremendous candidate and I am confident that he will make a great member of the Assembly. John has proven himself as a fearless campaigner for candidates throughout the county and I believe that he will continue to use that work ethic to earn the support of the voters.”

WASHINGTON,DC-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on Thursday made a threat to gun owners across America that if Donald Trump executes his authority to declare America’s border crisis a national emergency, she would consider the same for gun ownership in America.

Pelosi said gun violence, including those crimes committed by illegal aliens, is a real national emergency.

“If you want to talk about emergencies, that’s a national emergency… If you want to go down that path, then let’s look at what really is a national emergency. But I’m not advocating for any president doing an end run around Congress.” Pelosi said. “You want to talk about a national emergency? Gun violence is a national emergency.”

Pelosi continued her rant about President Donald Trump’s border security requests, calling the emergency at the border an illusion.

“It’s not an emergency, what’s happening at the border… I know Republicans have some unease about it… Because if he can declare an emergency on an illusion, just think of what a POTUS w/different values can present to the American people,” she said.

NEWARK, NJ-In the 1992 edition of the Stanford Daily Newspaper, a young Cory Booker, detailed a forced sexual encounter with a young high school girl at a 1984 New Year’s Eve party.

Booker noted intricate details of this encounter.

“New Year’s Eve 1984 I will never forget,” he wrote. “I was 15.  As the ball dropped, I leaned over to hug a friend and she met me instead with an overwhelming kiss.”

“As we fumbled upon the bed, I remember debating my next move as if it were a chess game. With the Top Gun slogan ringing in my head, I slowly reached for her breast. After having my hand pushed away once, I reached my mark,” Booker admits aggressively forcing his hand upon the child’s breasts.

“I’ve got to find a way to snatch that snatch,” Booker wrote in his admission.

Then it ended. They parted ways, but he knows she wanted him.

Like a dude, Booker continued, “While she liked me a lot, she said she just wanted to be friends.”

There’s just one problem with Booker’s 1992 story.  This is where we go all Marissa Tomei in “My Cousin Vinnie” on the story.

Top Gun, the movie was released in theaters on May 16, 1986.  That would mean his encounter if he was singing the Top Gun theme song, “Danger Zone” could not have happened until the 1987 New Year’s Eve party.

Like most of what comes out of Senator Booker’s mouth, the facts don’t just add up here either.
