Multilayered LLC Challenging Jackson Zoning over Proposed Building Project

According to a public notice published this week, Feldchild, LLP seeks to build multiple shops and buildings for contractors at 504 Whitesville Road in Jackson and their attorney, Raymond F. Shea is challenging the township for an interpretation of zoning regulations that could prohibit the project.

Feldchild LLP is a business registered in Colorado and the owner identified as Rabbi Yechezkel Feldberger, former rabbi of Congregation Zera Abraham based out of Denver, Colorado.

According to county records, the property has switched hands several times since 2014. It was originally owned by Blanche Horowitz, fka Blanche Honigman of Lakewood, NJ. It was then transferred to Quack Properties, a company with a P.O. Box in Seaside Park prior to the 2014 transfer.

In 2015, it was then transferred to Winding River, LP. a limited partnership company out of Nevada with a mailing address of 561 Winding River Court, Brick, NJ.   The property at 561 Winding River Court is owned by Big Business, LP, another limited partnership company.

In 2016, Winding River, LP sued Quack Properties for $50,000 in punitive damages in a breach of contract lawsuit.

The property in question is just north of the intersection of Faraday and Whitesville on the southbound side of Whitesville Road.

A hearing has been scheduled before the zoning board on March 1st at 7pm at town hall.

Ocean County Alt-Left Plans to Disrupt Congressman's Speaking Engagement at Ocean County College

TOMS RIVER-In light of many Republican congressmen canceling speaking engagements due to alt-left disruption, including town halls and speaking engagements, one is ready to brave the elements of the new political atmosphere in America.

It’s an atmosphere of blind rage and hostility towards anyone or anything that is remotely Republican.

On March 31st, Ocean County College’s Governmental Affairs Institute will present a seminar entitled ‘Government & Politics: What You Need to Know with Congressman Tom MacArthur’.

The even will be hosted on campus in the Gateway Building Lecture Hall. Congressman MacArthur will speak about the recent presidential election and his perspectives on the new Trump administration and the new Congress.

The alt-left in Ocean County is already planning to disrupt the event with political protest.

“Congressman Tom MacArthur will be speaking at Ocean County College, March 31st at 11 am. The event is open to the public,” the Ocean County Democrat Club posted on their Facebook page.  “Please attend and let him know we are here! More details to follow.”

 

White House Says AP Report On National Guard Rounding Up Illegals Is False

Trump: Fake news media is the enemy of the American People

With fair and balanced news hard to find these days, President Donald Trump once again lashed out at the media on Friday, calling out the “failing New York Times”, NBC News, ABC, CBS and CNN.

Trump gave a message they most likely won’t understand, that they are the “enemy” of the American people.

The liberal leaning news media has, for the most part, not only failed to fairly cover the new president, but are leading the liberal, alt-left’s charge against the administration, therefore against America.

To date, the media still doesn’t get it, they have lost the attention of the average hardworking American and cater to the alt-left population base and it shows in the weekly Nielsen ratings as Fox News tops the charts on cable television overall with CNN and MSNB trailing far behind.

Sanders Reminds Media Why President Continues to Bypass Them to Reach Americans

WASHINGTON, DC-White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Stern gave the White House media pool aboard Air Force One a firm reminder why the President has chosen to circumvent the biased anti-Trump media.

Sanders was asked why the President, who was inaugurated four weeks ago feels the need tomorrow to go back onto the stump and reach out directly to the American people.

“I think it’s real simple the reason he wants to go back,” Sanders said.  “I think, in large part, it’s because his message, when filtered through — unfortunately, people standing in this circle don’t always do the best job delivering his message, and nobody does it better than he does.”

Trump has lost all faith in the mainstream media’s ability to provide fair and honest reporting of his Presidency.

“And so, he can do that very easily by taking the stage and talking directly to the people of America, addressing their concerns, and being able to properly express exactly what he’s doing, what his administration has done over the last month, and what they plan to do in the coming weeks,” Sanders added.

When asked a ridiculous question by the “dishonest” media, Sanders handled it like a pro.

“Is this a campaign rally for 2020?  Or is it a campaign rally for another candidate?  Or how do you portray it?” one reporter asked.

“I think it’s most likely a campaign rally for America,” she responded. “I think it’s — again, it’s the President’s time to be able to speak directly to people across this country in an unfiltered way, and in a way that doesn’t have any bias that’s been expressed through the reporting that usually happens.”

The press pool, who rarely, if ever questioned former President Barack Obama over his travel plans continued to grill Stern with more absurd and leading questions.

Trump's Epic Slam of the Dishonest Press

Washington, DC-President Donald Trump continued his defense of the American people against the barrage of misinformation and misleading headlines since he has taken the oath of office.

On Thursday, he spoke at a press conference, over the media, directly to the American people.

“I’m making this presentation directly to the American people with the media present, which is an honor to have you this morning, because many of our nation’s reporters and folks will not tell you the truth and will not treat the wonderful people of our country with the respect that they deserve,” Trump said. “And I hope going forward we can be a little bit different, and maybe get along a little bit better, if that’s possible.  Maybe it’s not, and that’s okay too.”

https://www.facebook.com/WhiteHouse/videos/1225328447554886/

Trump showed no love for the mainstream media.

“Unfortunately, much of the media in Washington, D.C., along with New York, Los Angeles, in particular, speaks not for the people but for the special interests and for those profiting off a very, very obviously broken system,” Trump said.  “The press has become so dishonest that if we don’t talk about it, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people — tremendous disservice.  We have to talk about it to find out what’s going on, because the press honestly is out of control.  The level of dishonesty is out of control.”

He reminded the American public that he was committed to draining the swamp in Washington, even if that means draining the media outlets that thrive in the swamp.

“I ran for President to represent the citizens of our country.  I am here to change the broken system so it serves their families and their communities well.  I am talking, and really talking, on this very entrenched power structure, and what we’re doing is we’re talking about the power structure, we’re talking about its entrenchment,” he added. “As a result, the media is going through what they have to go through to oftentimes distort — not all the time — and some of the media is fantastic, I have to say; they’re honest and fantastic.  But much of it is not — the distortion.  And we’ll talk about it, and you’ll be able to ask me questions about it.”

Trump was quick to place blame on the poor health and division of America squarely on the shoulders of the past eight years of Barack Obama’s presidency, which left the country more divided that it has been since the 1960’s, perhaps even more.

“But we’re not going to let it happen, because I’m here again to take my message straight to the people.  As you know, our administration inherited many problems across government and across the economy,” Trump added. “To be honest, I inherited a mess — it’s a mess — at home and abroad.  A mess.  Jobs are pouring out of the country.  You see what’s going on with all of the companies leaving our country, going to Mexico and other places — low-pay, low-wages.  Mass instability overseas, no matter where you look.  The Middle East, a disaster.  North Korea — we’ll take care of it, folks.  We’re going to take care of it all.  I just want to let you know I inherited a mess.”

Silent Kim Guadagno and Black Train Jack Ciattarelli Continue to Ignore Bail Reform Woes Plaguing New Jersey

The top two contending Republican candidates for the office of Governor in New Jersey, Kim Guadagno and Jack Ciattarelli continue to ignore the growing nightmare facing New Jersey, bail reform.

We’ve asked both campaigns repeatedly to let New Jersey know where they stand on bail reform, but so far, what we received was a new CD release from  “Black Train Jack” Ciattarelli mocking Kim Guadagno and more silence from Guadagno who is quickly becoming deserving of her moniker, “Silent Kim”.

The two of them are shining examples of Trenton style politics independent Republicans across New Jersey are sick and tired of.  One of them is busy producing music releases (who uses compact discs anyway?), the other making no noise at all.

Here’s what we know about bail reform so far…

OC Police Chiefs Call for Repeal of Bail Reform: Dangerous, onerous and fiscally disastrous

TOMS RIVER-The Ocean County Association of Chiefs of Police called upon call upon Governor Christie, the New Jersey Legislature, the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts and New Jersey Attorney General Christopher Porrino to immediately suspend the use of the current public safety assessment computerized program that scores criminal defendants under New Jersey’s bail reform law.

The association, which represents the county’s municipal police chiefs also said the new system is, “Dangerous, onerous and fiscally disastrous to the taxpayers of this great state.”

Below is a resolution prepared by the Ocean County Association of Chiefs of Police:
Resolution 
Whereas, The Ocean County Association of Chiefs of Police consists of the law enforcement chief executives from all the law enforcement agencies currently active in the Ocean County, and,
Whereas, It is the goal of this Organization to promote the welfare and mission of its members, their relative agencies and the general public, and,
Whereas, the voters of The State of New Jersey recently approved a state constitutional amendment that called for bail reform for low level indigent offenders, and,
Whereas, that amendment was implemented by a state legislative enactment which took effect on January 1, 2017 and for which a computer generated Public Safety Algorithm (PSA) was designated to assess the threat level of respective arrestees , and,
Whereas, the required usage of that modality thus far has been observed to involve long delays and often produces what appear to be highly inappropriate results regarding the relative threat level of these offenders, and,
Whereas, These delays and this extra work being placed on our systems without budgetary support requires reallocation of budgetary items that are already in too short of supply due to existing funding restrictions, and,
Whereas, Existing State Law requires enactments that impose a financial impact on Counties and Municipalities to be supported by a concomitant State funding initiative that does not appear to have been provided in this case, and,
Whereas, Officers being redeployed to these activities are not available to answer even emergency calls for service, and has resulted in slower response times and the suspension of discretionary police activities that support and improve the quality of life in those communities, and,
Whereas, Certain inappropriately low threat assessments have also led to the ill-advised release of offenders who traditionally have, and we believe should, be remanded to custody for the safety of the public, and,
Whereas, Many of these releases relate directly to offenses against special victims such as sexual offenses, offenses against children, domestic violence victims and senior citizens to name but a few, and,
Whereas, Certain protections for these special victims appear to have been completely disregarded by the PSA, those protections having been built into our laws over the course of decades and often the result of collective tragedies, and,
Whereas, NJ Court officials announced yesterday that in those cases where incarceration is indicated under the PSA, extensive discovery must be provided to the defendant almost immediately further increasing the burden of this initiative and demanding additional staffing that currently does not and will not exist, and,
Whereas, in other cases, such as serial shoplifters, it is our understanding that inappropriately high threat levels have been observed, due again to data given inappropriate weight by the PSA and causing additional systemic work and incarceration senselessly for subjects who would have otherwise been released, and,
Now heretofore, be it resolved on this the eighth day of February, 2017, The members of this Association support the State mandate, State pay litigation initiated by New Jersey Counties and call upon Governor Christie, the New Jersey Legislature, the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts and New Jersey Attorney General Christopher Porrino to immediately suspend the use of the current PSA as being dangerous, onerous and fiscally disastrous to the taxpayers of this great State.

Jackson Council Approves Very Exorbitant $140,000 Bathroom Upgrade for Senior Center

JACKSON-The Jackson Township council approved a very exorbitant $140,000 project paid for through the community development block grant to upgrade the facility’s bathrooms on Tuesday.

“Improvements to restroom facilities at the Jackson Township Senior Center focusing on greater ADA accessibility. The approximate value of this grant is $140,000. Projects will be listed by priority based on availability of funds,” read the ordinance which was unanimously approved by the council.

In 2015, a similar grant in the amount of $139,000 was approved by the council to build a 24’x34′ addition on the facility, before that a grant was used to install an on-site generator and other usability features on the building.

Despite the ongoing heroin epidemic in Jackson and the need for a Youth Center, Jackson Township said the grant could not be used for youth services facilities.  There are no plans at this time to build a youth services center in Jackson Township or to co-locate a youth services program within the senior center.

Jackson Township remains the largest township in Ocean County without a youth services center.

In many neighboring towns such as Brick Township and Howell Township the township have partnered with the Police Athletic League to create self-sustainable youth service facilities.  Toms River Township has a fully function youth services department and a youth services center located on North Bay Avenue.

Historically, Jackson Township elections are won by catering to the township large and growing senior citizen populations.
