The South Jersey Progressive Democrats condemn election manipulation by the Norcross aligned Camden County machine and affirm the publics right to determine their own representation. On June 17, 2022, Camden County Democratic Chair (and LD 6 State Senator) Jim Beach sent out an email to Camden County Democratic committee members informing them that Commissioner Carmen Rodriguez had resigned from office four days before the June 7th Primary Election and that her replacement would be named at a closed door meeting on June 29th. This is a decision that the public should make. The public has a right to determine who will represent them in their county government.

The Camden County Commissioners control a half a billion dollar budget. Thats over $70,000,000 per commissioner. County Commissioners oversee county roads, parks, tech schools, community colleges, libraries, and more. They also control millions of dollars in government contracts and have the ability to keep the pay to play system flowing, or to enact much needed reform, the sort of reform that South Jersey Progressive Democrats are working towards.

South Jersey Progressive Dems hoped that for a change, this primary would only feature individuals sincerely seeking office but apparently there was a phantom candidate on the ballot after all. That phantom candidate was Carmen Rodriguez who had already resigned from her office before the election. Over 85,000 Democrats participated in last weeks primary and they did so again without essential information, thanks to the Norcross machine. Those who voted for Carmen Rodriguez did so meaninglessly since someone else will be selected behind closed doors without their input. Over 12,000 Camden County voters cast their ballot for South Jersey Progressive Democrats candidate for commissioner, Rebecca Holloway, netting her the highest total of challenger commissioner votes in over a decade. The Norcross machine will install one of their own behind closed doors on June 29th and South Jersey Progessive Democrats will be there, rallying outside, calling out their underhanded tactics to silence the publics voices, said President of South Jersey Progressive Democrats, Kate Delany.

Resigning from a County Commissioner post in secret one week prior to the primary election is not only unethical and underhanded, it disenfranchises the voters of Camden County. At a time when a spotlight is shining on voting rights, the Camden County Democratic Committee chose to double down on backroom politics, hoping their constituents just wouldnt notice. We however are watching, said Camden County Commissioner candidate Rebecca Holloway.

Voters in the Democratic primary should have been informed that incumbent Carmen Rodriguez had resigned her Board of Commissioners position before the primary and that she did not intend to run if elected in the primary. As a member of the Camden County Democratic Committee in favor of good governance and an open and transparent process, I would like to see the Committee give Camden County Democratic voters the ability to choose who is on the ballot for the vacant position in the general election. Either a special election should be held, or Rebecca Holloway should be chosen to replace Ms. Rodriguez on the ballot in November because she had the next-most number of votes in the primary election, said Merchantville Democratic Committee member Joe Bouvier.

South Jersey Progressive Democrats invite community members who want to take a stand for fair elections and the publics right to determine their own representation to join them at a rally on June 29th outside the Camden County Democratic Committees closed door meeting. RSVP here to attend. For questions or more information, please contact info@southjerseyprogressivedemocrats.org

Biden's admin just does not care: Bongino

Fox News host Dan Bongino slams the Biden administration for not caring to fix the 'problems' it created in the United States Saturday on 'Unfiltered with Dan Bongino.'

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Fox News host Dan Bongino broke down the Biden administration's "Five Stages of Grief" on "Unfiltered with Dan Bongino."

DAN BONGINO: The way the Democrats are responding to all these never-ending crises reminded me of something I had heard in graduate school, I hate citing education, but you get the point. "The Five Stages of Grief": It's a theory created by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION STRUGGLES WITH CASCADING CRISES AND CONTROVERSIES, FROM BORDER TO SUPPLY CHAIN AND MORE

Well, the Biden administration is slowly dying, they're losing their political power, and they know their time in power is short, and they've reacted in ways similar to "The Five Stages of Grief": They are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

U.S. President Joe Biden speaks about inflation and the economy in the South Court Auditorium on the White House campus May 10, 2022 in Washington, DC.

So let's look at the five stages of the Democrats' grief in this dying Biden administration. First, of course, they just deny everything. We've seen them deny it would be a problem from the very beginning when inflation was starting to become a really serious concern

So after denial comes anger, right? We could be here all day. It's only an hour show, showing you examples of Joe Biden going off the rails when asked about the crises he created but can't seem to fix

Then you get denial, you get anger, you get the third stage, bargaining. This is where they try to explain away during the grief process their guilt from their disastrous decisions, saying, "You know, no one could have predicted what happened and had they known, they never would have done what they did."

After bargaining comes depression. This is the part where everyone knows what's going on. The administration knows they messed up, the American people knows the administration knows they messed up. So they just don't talk about it

GREG GUTFELD: THE MEDIA IS DISTANCING ITSELF FROM JOE BIDEN BECAUSE THEY KNOW HE IS "DONE"

Finally, there's acceptance. This is where Joe and Kamala start to acknowledge their popularity is finished, and they're moving forward with the failed agenda, and they don't really care what anyone else wants. Biden insists, hilariously so, by the way, that he plans to run again in 2024, despite his poll numbers plummeting in his own party infighting over his policies. You start to see members within the Democratic ranks start to break away and look for other ways to keep the power they've already squandered.

Dan Bongino on the Democrats' and Biden's 'Five Stages of Grief' - Fox News

SAN FRANCISCO The primary election in California last week conveyed a warning to Democrats about the political threat posed by rising public anger toward the increasingly visible poverty and disorder on city streets in this case, San Franciscos.

District Attorney Chesa Boudin became a scapegoat for the citys social ills. His loss in a recall attempt had much to do with Californias chronic failure to deal with homelessness, mental illness and poverty. These issues will persist without him.

What his ouster was not, despite claims to the contrary, was a clear rebuke to the movement for criminal justice reform in California: State primaries delivered victories for that very movement.

Still, the conflation of criminal-justice reform with urban disorder is a threat to Democrats across the country. The recall made Mr. Boudin an emblem of the citys dysfunctions, but its problems predate his election in 2019, and conservatives have long derided San Fransicko as a symbol of the Democratic Partys excesses and failures.

Democrats should heed the signal sent by voters here who directed their wrath at a neophyte politician. This vulnerability will persist in the wake of the recall because the citys problems provide an irresistibly visceral way to portray the shortcomings of Democratic leadership.

The citys value as a political symbol has never been more potent. Some of the most powerful Democrats in the nation have roots here. Vice President Kamala Harris rose to national prominence in part by serving in the office Mr. Boudin just lost. The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, represents the city in Congress. Senator Dianne Feinstein served two terms as mayor, as did Gov. Gavin Newsom.

No Republican has been elected here in decades. Its a city controlled entirely by Democrats in a state controlled entirely by Democrats. And anyone with an iPhone can walk down Market Street collecting troves of anecdotal evidence to prove the horrors of Democratic governance.

Some depict San Francisco as a failed city. Conservative media outlets have consistently highlighted its problems by providing anti-progressive cautionary tales.

For some San Franciscans, theres no better place to be than this Pacific peninsula with its amazing views, adorable neighborhoods and world-class culture.

But as Governor Newsom said after the recall election, People want the streets cleaned up. They want a sense of order, from the disorder theyre feeling in parts of the city.

Cities throughout California have struggled with addressing homelessness. San Franciscos mayor, London Breed, recently reported that homelessness had actually decreased here since 2019, but the unsheltered population is still strikingly large and conspicuous.

The city has endured a shoplifting and auto theft epidemic. Public drug use and urination are common. It is not unusual to see mounds of car window glass and to hear of burglarized garages.

There seems to be a growing sense of impatience and exasperation, a general feeling that the streets are unsafe, regardless of what statistics say.

But the thing is, data and statistics also say that Californias crime rates are at historic lows. Thats why Mr. Boudins overthrow probably represented an expression of frustration, not a true referendum on reform.

A poll conducted by my paper, The San Francisco Examiner, shortly before the election found strong support for the recall and strong support for the criminal justice policies he embraced. It also found that 66 percent of voters felt less safe than they did 10 years ago, with 64 percent indicating the presence of homeless and mentally ill people on the street as their top concern.

As Governor Newsom put it, And tag, the D.A. was it meaning that Mr. Boudin took the blame for the citys woes, many of which are beyond his jurisdiction.

Mr. Newsom, as lieutenant governor, supported Proposition 47, a 2014 ballot measure that reclassified certain nonviolent felonies as misdemeanors and which some people have blamed for contributing to the disorder that has plagued San Francisco.

Yet on the same day that 55 percent of San Francisco voters chose to recall Mr. Boudin, 56 percent of primary voters selected Governor Newsom, who will almost certainly cruise to re-election in the fall.

Another progressive reformer, the state attorney general Rob Bonta, won 76 percent of San Franciscos primary votes, vanquishing his tough on crime primary opponents. In counties neighboring San Francisco, criminal justice reformers racked up wins in races for D.A. and for sheriff.

And yet Mr. Boudins defeat is being portrayed as a sign of ordinary voters outrage, but the campaign to recall him was fueled by donations from a Republican billionaire and Peter Thiel acolytes like David Sacks.

Republicans have now uncovered a rich vein of Democratic voter discontent. Our progressive state has the fifth largest economy in the world and a roughly $97 billion budget surplus, but its longstanding apathy toward its most vulnerable residents has produced a humanitarian disaster that is activating voter anger. With enough political funding and strategy, San Franciscos voter revolt could spread, sending a powerful message to the rest of the nation about the failures of progressive policy in this liberal bastion.

Thats bad news for Californias most ambitious politicians. In Mr. Boudins fate, they should glimpse their own. They have a short runway to prove that their big Democratic ideas to create more shelter, expand mental health treatment, reduce inequality and build a California for all can work.

If they continue to fail, it will solidify the impression that California is where progressive dreams go to die.

The House passed a bill Tuesday to increase security for Supreme Court justices' immediate families, with 27 Democrats voting against, less than a week after a man was arrested for allegedly plotting to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The bill that's now headed to President Bidens desk for final approval provides for 24-hour protection for Supreme Court justices' families, similar to what is already provided for some members of the executive and legislative branches.

The House voted 396-27, approving a measure that had already been passed by unanimous consent in the Senate in May just days after a leaked draft Supreme Court opinion suggested it intends to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Democrats who opposed the bill argued that it also needed to include protection for court staff, including clerks, and their families.

ISSA SLAMS AOC, PELOSI OVER SCOTUS SECURITY BILL STALL: IT IS ASTONISHING

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., boasted in an Instagram video on Saturday about initially blocking the bill.

"I wake up this morning and I start to hear murmurs that there is going to be an attempt to pass the Supreme Court supplemental protection bill the day after gun safety legislation for schools and kids and people is stalled," she said in the video.

"Oh, so we can pass protections for us and here easily, right? But we can't pass protections for everyday people?" she continued. "I think not."

These 27 Democrats voted against protections for Supreme Court justices ...

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., blasted a group of 27 House Democrats who voted against a bill to provide 24-hour protection for Supreme Court justices' families, similar to what is already provided for some members of the executive and legislative branches.

THESE 27 DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST PROTECTIONS FOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES

NANCY MACE: It's insane, but it's also probably the same 27 that want to defund the police. But it's unbelievable that they did not want to protect the third branch of government, the judicial branch. And it's illegal, actually, to show up at the justices' homes and protest. Someone who showed up last week at Justice Kavanaugh's home trying to assassinate him was armed and dangerous. This is not where we should be going in this country. We've had a lot of violence over the last two years by Antifa and armed anarchists. And you've seen Chuck Schumer and others ratchet up the rhetoric and encourage this sort of thing. You have a president who will not tamp it down and it's a huge issue. But we've got to make sure that our justices are protected, that are law enforcement, not just on this hill, but everywhere across the country, that they're fully funded and they have the resources they need to keep our communities, everybody safe.
