12/27/19 in New Jersey

A story begins, 'A Bridgewater man....' 

'[I can't believe it's not about you-Ed]

Anyway:
BRIDGEWATER, NJ - A Bridgewater man was arrested in connection with an attempted bank robbery in Bridgewater and a robbery in Somerville Monday, according to Somerset County Prosecutor Michael Robertson. Douglas Conroy, 60, was charged with first degree robbery, third degree theft and third degree attempted theft. According to Robertson, Bridgewater Township Police responded to a 911 call Monday reporting an attempted bank robbery at the Provident Bank, on Union Avenue. Officers said that at about 11:59 a.m., Conroy entered the bank and ordered a female teller to fill a white colored plastic bag with money.
We know where that is. First the shots fired incident a mile from us now this. A decade ago we had an FBI shootout at a local bank, which was so cool. And you people thought Bridgewater was quiet.

Will's Election Night Wrap

Horrible GOP candidate in our mother's ancestral homeland, the great state of Kentucky, battles Dem to standstill, acts like Democart and has not yet coneded race. Good. GOP romps in rest of state. Check out the new AG, yo.

GOP wins governor's race in the land of our grandmother's birth, the great state of Mississippi.

Virginia becomes New York on the Chesapeake. Stop saying Virginia is in play. Virginia is not in play.

Meanwhile, here in Bridgewater:
BRIDGEWATER, NJ - Republicans Matthew Moench, Michael Kirsh and Timothy Ring were declared the winners for mayor and council, respectively, according to the unofficial results from Bridgewater Township. Moench received 6,382 votes, to 4,411 votes for Democratic challenger Jeffrey Brookner and 242 votes for Libertarian challenger Gregg Mele.
Tell me again how the GOP has a suburb problem.

The Anti-Trump Resistance of Branchburg, New Jersey

Ben Rhodes hopes a thumbs-up picture will be used in the obits of Mitch McConnell, Mike Pence, and Paul Ryan.

Rosie O'Donnell offers Senators Susan Collins and Jeff Flake  twooooo milllllion dollars to vote against tax reform.

Some whack-job Congressional Black Caucus members [that's redundant-Ed] introduce articles of impeachment.

SE Cupp leads a discussion on the Democrat's descent to insanity.

Needless to say the Democrats have not taken Trump's victory well.

We thought they freaked out after W won in 2000 and 2004, but the Dems seemed determined to out freak-out their W freak-out. We say mission accomplished!

This whack job lives around the corner from our house. We drive past his property every day.

Well reasoned, no?

At one point he had an upside-down American flag in his yard. We always assumed the town told him to take it down, but no. Someone swiped it:

BRANCHBURG - Jim Girvan considers himself pretty outspoken.
Girvan said he has posted political signs on the front lawn of his Route 28 home as well as two American flags, one he intentionally flew upside down as an expression of distress and fear since the November election. 
Girvan said a friend had told him that some people disapprove of the display, especially the flag flown upside down. 
Girvan never thought someone would actually steal it from his property. But that's exactly what happened. 
Around 7 p.m. April 1, a dark pickup pulled up to his home, the driver got out and ripped the upside-down flag out of the ground, threw it in the truck and drove off. 
"It was broad daylight," said Girvan, adding that thousands of vehicles pass by his home every day. "It was such a bold blatant act."
It wasn't us. We don't even own a pickup.

According to the article Mr. Girvan's display has been tampered with on other occasions.

It's like the landscaping version of one of those cars with eight bumper stickers on the back. You know the ones, COEEXIST...BERNIE!...I'M WITH HER...IMPEACH TRUMP!...etc...etc...

Speaking of:
BEDMINSTER - As President Donald Trump increasingly becomes a local presence with his trips to Trump National Golf Club, one area resident is garnering headlines for protesting the administration. 
Branchburg resident Jim Girvan has been organizing the People's Motorcade every Saturday this summer. It entails an entourage of cars driving by Trump National Golf Club — whether or not Trump is there — while waving flags, signs and other anti-Trump material.
Our stance is the greater the signage the more serious the mental problem.

The freak-out has become intolerable. This year we've found ourselves doing something we never thought we'd do. That is, we un-friended people on FB over their anti-Trump delusions. We can think of at least five. Sorry, weirdos.

To those asking the obvious question, no we did not hate Obama or hope for his impeachment or death. We reacted to his victory in 2008 by considering what we conservatives needed to do better. Ditto 2012.

We never thought Trump was the answer to that question., but he is.

He's driving the Dems... Insaaaaaane!*
