Thank you Dave .
And there is a camera trained right on it 24/7
Speaking of political signs, I find it very interesting that the old fellas at DJ’s don’t have every inch of their property festooned with signs for Tom Brennan this year like they always did for Matt, Brian, Claire & Company.
Me too. If love the cowardly creeps to get caught on my two video cameras!
Watch for child actors too https://www.foxnews.com/us/woman-arrested-children-steal-trump-campaign-signs.amp?__twitter_impression=true
Stealing or damaging cheap plastic signs is very, very bad.
Refusing to condemn white supremacists while giving a shout out to known violent extremists is ok.
Im just keeping score here. Morality has become very confusing over the last few years.
You might want to consider broadening your sources of information.
Full quote:
“You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. … I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name. … So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the White nationalists, because they should be condemned totally — but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and White nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly. Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group.”
Broader than watching in disbelief with my very own eyeballs while the president of the United States couldn’t bring himself to condemn white supremacists? Would it help if I said that I also heard it with my own ears? Is that not broad enough?
Well, like I said, morality has become very confusing over the last few years. Something like that used to be objectively bad. I wish there was a way to actually make America great again.
Admin- Please don’t try to defend this. He gets support from white supremacists and that’s why he cannot bring himself to condemn them without equivocating. He stood on the world stage at a prime time debate and WOULD’NT condemn white supremacy. Think about how you would feel if you were a black man watching at home sitting next to your children. I mean REALLY think about it.
Biden gets support from Antifa and that’s why he cannot bring himself to condemn them without equivocating
Ok. First of all, Biden HAS condemned Antifa unequivocally. He has condemned ALL forms of violent extremism unequivocally. Now who needs to broaden their information sources?
It is a little troubling when your defense of someone’s behavior gets reduced to ‘well he does it too!!’
I don’t even let me children get away with that. We have truly lost our way.
Trump has unequivocally and specifically condemned white supremacy a hundred times yet the left keeps demanding more. This is despite the fact that he even did it in the exact quote that the left uses…leaving that part out…to call him a white supremacist. Please show me where Biden specifically condemns Antifa alone without cheapening it by lumping it in with “all violence”.
Oh boy. The left keeps demanding more???
He was asked by Chris Wallace (a Fox News personality), during a prime time presidential debates, to denounce white supremacists. He wouldn’t. Joe Biden was asked the SAME thing. He would. I can honestly say that if I was running for president of the United States, you could ask me to denounce white supremacy a million times and I would happily do so every single time. That full quote you cited in prior post is well known. I’ve seen it many times. It is text book equivocation. If he didn’t equivocate, he wouldn’t have to keep clarifying. You of all people should know that. You have spent countless hours exposing local politicians for the frauds that they are. Yet you support the biggest fraud in American history. It makes no sense to me. Biden has unequivocally denounced racism and violence in ALL its forms. Somehow you think that Antifa gets ‘cheapened’ by lumping it in with all violence? I honestly don’t know what that even means. Violence is violence.
I’ll get you the Biden condemning Antifa as well as all violence and property damage. Why that needs to be seen in order for you to admit that not condemning white supremacy is objectively bad, I’ll never know.
I never watch presidential debates and I didn’t watch this one. I don’t care about them. They’re all theater. I see how he has governed and that’s why I support him.
“Antifa’s an idea, not an organization”
Interview on Pennsylvania’s WGAL:
Reporter, Barbara Barr: “Do you condemn Antifa?”
Joe Biden: “Yes, I do, violence no matter who it is”.
This is from a Sept 8th interview and it is available on Fox News live. Now I’m not a language expert but that looks like an unequivocal statement to me.
So, now can we all accept what we already know to be true? Anyone who can’t bring themselves to publicly condemn white supremacy, no matter how many times they’re asked, is a bad person.
Again. He didn’t condemn Antifa ALONE in a single statement. That’s equivocating.
Omg. You’re joking, right?
Perhaps you’re a stickler for punctuation? Maybe if it was “Yes, I do. Violence no matter who it is.” Would that help?
I can honestly say that if Trump said in response to ‘do you condemn white supremacy?’, ‘yes, I do, all form of racism no matter who’. That would have been great. But he didn’t.
I’m am signing off now. I can see that your devotion to this ‘man’ knows no bounds. He, every day, engages in activities you would never tolerate in any other politician. You could literally start a separate blog that addresses only the Trump crimes and never run out of material.
Biden’s own running mate called him a racist and a segregationist. Personally I don’t believe either man is a racist. All of this is a distraction from the real issues.
Correct #20. Biden is answering exactly how Nancy and Chuckie have schooled him. He’s a good BOY. An Obama has been. Obama/Biden did exactly nothing for me in the eight years they had the realm except for to spend more of MY money. Trump has done me well financially in the short time he has been able to get things done. Biden, a rich old white guy that the lefts have been asking for, for years. Ooooops. Or is that how they describe Republicans? Please ask any Democrat what their party/platform represents and you’ll get thousands of answers, most being “I don’t really know, I just don’t like Trump”. There is no longer a Democratic party of substance. NOTHING
#20. I actually agree. I think neither man is a racist. Trump just has racist thoughts and says racist things.
#21 Good lord, where to begin. Obama came into power during the worst recession in generations. Plural. The economy has been improving steadily and the unemployment has been decreasing since 2009. Those are factual numbers that you can look up. Here’s another factual number that you can look up: Trump produced 6.9 million jobs in his first 36 months in office. Those are pre CoVID numbers so a great deal of those jobs have been erased since then but we won’t factor those losses in. Impressive. In Obama’s last three years in office he created 8.1 million jobs. More impressive.
I’m squarely in the middle class. My taxes under Obama were actually less than with Trump. Two reasons: the first is that I don’t make enough money to benefit from the Trump tax reform. Not even close. The second is the fact that the Trump tax reform he reduced the amount of property tax we can deduct. So yea, I pay more under Trump. Which bothers me more now that I know (I always knew) that HE doesn’t pay his taxes. Now his fans may say ‘well that’s because he’s smart’. I disagree. I think it’s because he’s greedy. That money that he’s so brilliantly not paying goes to veterans, cops, firefighters, military personnel, teachers, etc etc.
There is no rational defense of Donald Trump. He is a pig, a liar, philanderer, misogynist, crook, narcissist, coward, bad businessman (by any measure), dim, ill informed, unfit, draft dodger, buffoon, and hypocritical. If he had a (d) next to his name you would all be horrified by this man. It’s time to wake up and join the growing number of Republicans (especially those from his own staff!) that have had it with this president and his desire to destroy this great country in order to serve his own selfish needs.
If he has a desire to destroy this country he must be very incompetent.
I consider myself a racial realist. I understand there are racists in every group. Below is an example of racism by our American Indians.

Cherokee Tribe Asserts Right To Expel Blacks – JONATHAN TURLEY
https://jonathanturley.org/2011/09/14/cherokee…
Sep 14, 2011 · Cherokee Tribe Asserts Right To Expel Blacks. The Cherokee Tribe is in an interesting confrontation with the federal government over the right of the tribe to ban 2,800 African Americans from its citizenship rolls. Joe Crittenden, the tribe’s acting principal chief, insists that the Bureau of Indian Affairs has challenged the sovereignty of …
Vote with your wallet
#23 Yes, he is incompetent. Thank the lord. His true desire is to enrich himself and his family. If that means destroying the fabric of our democracy, so be it. His entire life has been about enriching himself at all costs. His business career is littered with men and women who lost their business because they made they mistake of trusting him. Tradesmen, florists, furniture dealers, etc etc. Freehold music used to occupy a large space on Rt 9. Trump ‘bought’ $750,000 worth of grand pianos from then to adorn the Trump Taj Mahal. And, in true Trump form, he filed for bankruptcy protection. Freehold music received about $70,000 of the $750,000 owed to them. They are now in a tiny space in a dilapidated strip mall. They nearly went out of business. The hundreds of other American contractors and suppliers who made the colossal mistake of doing business with Mr Art Of The Deal, weren’t so lucky.
That is just one of his bankruptcies. As you know, he’s had several. So compound all those hard working American entrepreneurs who either lost money or their entire business because of the guy that touts himself as a businessman. It’s a joke. He is treating this country the same way. During the last years of the Obama presidency, the national debt was starting be paid down every quarter. Trump ended all that. Before COVID our national debt was breaking records. The Conservative party was silent. Now it’s a catastrophe. And yet there are smart people who actually think Trump is on the right track.
And now the stable genius has contracted COVID. It’s almost the perfect cherry on top of the worlds most hypocritical sundae.
Is this site “Common sense for Belmar”, or is it “Common sense for Republicans” or “Common Sense for Democrats”???
Having regularly gone to Council meetings since moving here permanently in January 2011, I can advise you all that Jerry B. is needed on the Belmar Council, and will make Belmar better…..just vote for Jerry…if all Belmar voters would take the time to attend Council Meetings, Jerry would easily be voted in….Vote for Jerry!
#27 Agree whole heartedly. He’s the man for the job.
#26- Hunter Biden is a self made millionaire. Wear your mask. And vote for Jerry. #byebyetommie (Brennan).
Admin- Please don’t try to defend this. He gets support from white supremacists and that’s why he cannot bring himself to condemn them without equivocating. He stood on the world stage at a prime time debate and WOULD’NT condemn white supremacy. Think about how you would feel if you were a black man watching at home sitting next to your children. I mean REALLY think about it.

13 Racist Quotes Gandhi Said About Black People
https://atlantablackstar.com/2016/08/19/13-
#30 – Sir, take a look at the video. Even Gandhi said anti-black things. We should all strive to become Racial Realists and understand the world as it exists, not as we want it to exist.

Aug 19, 2016 · 13 Racist Quotes Gandhi Said About Black People Posted by By Ricky Riley | August 19, 2016 Comments Comments (0) All quotes are direct quotations from “The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi.”
#30. Hahaha. ‘Fake news’ the Trump supporter’s version of the bratty 4 year old who puts his fingers in his ears and yells ‘lalalalalalala’ rather than hear uncomfortable truths. It’s classic.
I was explaining something I saw with my eyes. Wallace asked both candidates to disavow white supremacy. Trump wouldn’t. You can watch it yourself if you like. Now the part about being a black man and watching the debate with your children; that’s called a hypothetical situation. You’ve heard that word hypothetical, yes? So, as you are probably aware, it is an imaginary situation that is often used as a device to illicit empathy. It is used for people who have a difficult time feeling empathy towards others because it helps simplify things. I’m assuming you know what the word empathy means.
In the hypothetical situation I used, I was trying to get Trump supports to try and imagine what it must have been like to watch that and be a black person. Let’s try again.
You are a black father and you have three children. There is an important Presidential debate on TV and you feel it’s important enough to watch with your children. At one point, the moderator asks both candidates to condemn white supremacy. It’s not a far fetched question after all. The directors of the FBI and HLS both recently testified to congress that white supremacist groups are the biggest domestic terrorism threat we currently face (you can watch both testimonies with your eyes so you don’t use your fake news excuse). So as a black man sitting with your black family watching two men vie for the most important job in the country, you probably start to pay attention. Then, the man who actually holds that job refuses to condemn white supremacy. He won’t do it. Instead he tells a known far right, neo-fascist, all male, with ties to, you guessed it, white supremacy extremist group to ‘stand back and stand by’.
Now here you are, a black father of black children, and your president not only refused to do the easiest thing in the world to do, he also told a dangerous, violent group to stand by.
Full disclosure, Trump did finally disavow white supremacy two days later after some rather serious pressure from his own party but the damage was done.
I think it’s fair to say that you would be upset and scared. And it would be a difficult job to look your children in the eye and tell them that everything will be ok. Hopefully that hypothetical scenario helps you understand, and employ, empathy.
In conclusion- fake news is information, delivered as ‘news’ that is not factual. Think tweets from Trump or things that come out of his mouth.
I hope this lesson has helped.
I also hope for a speedy recovery for the man who is currently in a fake hospital after being afflicted with a fake virus.

#32 If you have three children >>>don’t expect the government to support you. If you couldn’t support the kids why have them? Also it’s racist to have more , as a percent of the population, black basketball, football, baseball players than whites. The black father shouldn’t be upset and scared because you know damn well Trump has done more for blacks than any other president since Lincoln. Jobs jobs jobs
How can you defend a man who cares nothing for this country. He is a rapist, liar, cheater, draft dodger, fraud. People fought and died for our freedom. He is a wannabe dictator. Using this country as if he owns it. Joe Biden, in my opinion may not be the best presidential material, but he is honest and good. Vote for Trump and get what you deserve. A fake, fraud autocrat, it is a shame so many young people died for our freedom only to have a deceitful, stupid clown running for President. I guess people care more about their 401K’s than they do about our country. Don’t follow blindly, THINK this election is too important.
This is still going on? Yawn.
you liberal losers can all go kick rocks. Seriously you’re a bunch of clowns
“If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let us do it.” Mark Twain
———————————–
Don’t Vote
#34 I’ll put aside your rambling for a moment and try to get to what I think your point is. First- who said anything about not being able to support kids? I said as a matter of FACT that I paid more in taxes under Trump than I did under Obama.
Second- The Black father in my HYPOTHETICAL (please look up the word)situation was upset and scared because the president of the united states refused to disavow white supremacists. I’m sure even your mind can grasp how that might be troubling.
Lastly, Trump hasn’t done a thing for black people. The black unemployment rate has been falling since 2011. That’s six years before Trump took office. It has only continued to fall. The rate of decrease has not improved under Trump, it has just kept pace (these are numbers that you can research). So Trump bragging about that is like someone driving over a bridge and then taking credit for building it. You would never allow a different politician to do that. Never.
The COVID pandemic has disproportionately affected black people more than white people. And considering that we are the worlds wealthiest nation that has the unimaginable distinction of leading the world in deaths per capita; I’d say, using his favorite word, this president has been a disaster.
#37 I’m not a ‘liberal’. I’m a centrist who pays attention. And I’m not kicking rocks, I’m using facts. Trump is a huckster, always has been. I recommend you check out retired four start general Chuck Boyd. General Boyd is a lifelong republican and Vietnam veteran who has joined the staggering number of former military personnel who see the cowardly, draft dodging Trump as a threat to our democracy. Please read about him, maybe then you’ll come out of the star crossed fog that blinds you to the damage this clown (that’s actually unfair to clowns) has done to our nation.
#36 Bored? Then why read the posts? Or right, hypocrite. Sorry, I forgot
A plea to Republicans for the future of Belmar…..Please do not vote for Jodi…I am sure she is a very nice person, but based upon what I observed, she would not be the person to make a definitive difference in Belmar.
We do not need more “Yes” people on the Council, and the only candidate running right now that is NOT a “Yes” person is Jerry Buccafusco…. We have had “Yes” people before, and Belmar cannot afford to make the same mistake again.
My wife and I moved to Belmar permanently in January 2011, and have attended Belmar Council meetings on a regular basis….if all of Common Sense For Belmar readers attended the Council meetings you would all be voting for Jerry Buccafusco for Council. Jerry has consistently examined financial and legal issues that arise frequently and questioned the Belmar Council on its reasoning. While I appreciate the time and effort that Tom Brennan has put forth, it is time for a change. Jerry will let the citizens of Belmar know what is going on and be a voice for the betterment of Belmar. It should not matter if you are a Democrat or a Republican, we need to vote for someone who can make a difference, and that person is Jerry.
FYI, I am a registered Democrat but always vote for the person I feel will do the best job regardless of party affiliation (I voted for Walsifer for Mayor, and McCracken for Council, and previously voted for Doherty and Brennan)….please do the same and just vote for Jerry….this is our chance to help make a difference. But your vote is needed, or this will not happen…just vote for Jerry… please.
And if you wonder how can one Independent like Jerry can possibly make a difference, this is how: Jerry will inform Belmar residents with communications about what is actually happening in our town….we have the communications resources readily available, including readers of Common Sense For Belmar, Facebook groups such as Belmar Locals, Belmar Locals Only, and Belmar/Lake Como/West Belmar Residents. Because of this, all residents will know what is going on in Belmar, what is good, and what could be improved. Then, we can vote accordingly to continue to improve Belmar, because what we all need is the facts…..
Republicans and Democrats…put aside party and vote for the person who will make a difference…just vote for Jerry!
Thank you all and stay safe!
#40 – You should post that on all the Belmar Facebook pages.

It has been a pleasure watching the frail left libtards whine, cry and stomp their tender feet the last 4 years. It’s going to be great to watch them continue for 4 more years. Here’s to offending the weak little crybabies!
A couple of things. Why do you people think this guy Gerry is an answer? He’s just another wordologist/debater with no ideas.

The two nitwits running for POTUS – both draft dodgers in their youth. One had “bone spurs” and the other “asthma.” Now they want to commit soldiers to war, something they wouldn’t take part in themselves when they had the chance. Oh yeah, the one nitwit will be put aside shortly after election if he wins in favor of his idiot VP (seems pretty obvious scheme).
