Israel is in dialogue with Cairo and Washington on the issue. Jerusalem officials expect the US to ensure the agreement is fully implemented.

Lakewood’s Traffic Nightmare: Silence, Neglect, and Broken Leadership

$
0
0
When was the last time you found yourself stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic at midnight, blindsided by an unexpected road closure? Our politicians and township committee seem to have no problem communicating when it serves their interests—but when they're the ones to blame, they fall silent.

This is the daily nightmare Lakewood residents endure while the township committee remains asleep at the wheel, offering zero communication or accountability. They have utterly failed in their duty to serve us.

Many in Lakewood don’t rely on Waze or Google Maps for routine drives, yet without any warning, critical roads are suddenly closed, leaving people scrambling to navigate a maze of detours. Attending a wedding, running a simple errand, or preparing for Yom Tov has become a high-stakes game of Tetris. A five-minute drive now takes thirty, wasting our precious time—especially as we prepare for Pesach.

The biggest insult? The complete lack of communication, concern, or basic empathy from our elected officials.

The bigger question is: Who’s really benefiting from all these construction projects? Will they actually improve Lakewood’s infrastructure, or—as many suspect—are our representatives prioritizing developers, daycare owners, and nursing home operators over the needs of the people they were elected to serve?

Lakewood deserves leadership that truly represents its residents—not politicians who serve only the powerful and connected. This is unacceptable. We don’t have to put up with this. It’s time to speak out, hold our elected officials accountable, and demand real leadership.

- Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar called Yarden Bibas earlier today and updated him on the elimination of the terrorist who was involved in the kidnapping and brutal murder of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfirw

A direct threat from Hamas to the life of the Israeli hostages. (in other words, physiological warfare) Hamas military wing spokesman Abu Obeida posted today:  “Half of the enemy's living prisoners are in areas that the occupation ordered to be evacuated in recent days. We have decided not to move them from these areas and leave them under heavy security. If the enemy cares about the lives of these prisoners, it should immediately negotiate for their evacuation from these areas or for their release. There will be no further warning. The Netanyahu government bears responsibility for their lives. Most of them would be home today if it had been committed to the agreement signed in January."

We have been the dumb and helpless “whipping post,” but not any longer. We are bringing back jobs and businesses like never before. Already, more than FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT, and rising fast! THIS IS AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION, AND WE WILL WIN. HANG TOUGH, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

- Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) has reintroduced legislation aimed at easing the financial burden of K–12 education for families in New Jersey and across the country. His bill, the Education Achievement and Opportunity Act (HR 2097), would provide substantial tax relief to parents seeking to send their children to the school of their choice.
HR 2097 proposes a tax credit of up to $10,000 per child per year to help cover the cost of tuition and fees for students enrolled in Jewish, private, parochial, religious, charter, or public schools through 12th grade. In addition, up to $1,500 of the total credit could be used for education-related expenses such as computers, software, books, tutoring, special needs services, transportation, and academic testing.
The full tax credit would be available to individuals earning up to $75,000 annually and couples earning up to $150,000. Above these thresholds, the credit would gradually phase out by $50 for every additional $1,000 in income.
