Ever since the serpent entered the Garden of Eden, evil has fought to overcome good. What we’ve seen infecting America these last few years is an extension of that evil. The Coalition for Jewish Values is fighting all these fronts—from Pennsylvania Avenue—to main street—to anywhere common sense and Biblical Values are under attack. Will you stand with us in this fight?.

Politico notes that the expense account cannot be used to cover Murphy’s salary of $175,000 or for personal use.

Murphy’s spokesperson said that his office thought that the state parties would pay the bills at the time, as is normal.

Jennifer Sciortino said that the state took responsibility for unpaid bills as soon as it became clear.

Breitbart reported that Murphy, in June 2022 was accused by state oversight leaders of giving illegal aliens $10 million as stimulus checks from funds derived from the Chinese coronavirus, despite not having been authorized to do so.

Breitbart’s John Binder reported that, as Breitbart had reported last year on the subject, Murphy gave the state’s almost half a million illegal immigrants stimulus checks totaling tens and millions of dollars. The money was paid by American taxpayers. It was intended to provide coronavirus relief to Americans.

According to Breitbart News, Murphy was criticized for taking a vacation in Costa Rica during a time when his state had the highest rate of coronavirus per capita in the nation.

Murphy’s Costa Rica trip marks his third personal vacation away from New Jersey in the last five months, reports the New Jersey Advance. Breitbart reported that in August, Murphy and his family travelled abroad to a multimillion dollar villa with 23 rooms located in Italy’s Umbria Region.

According to the New Jersey Advance, Murphy and his wife took a 3-day trip to Orlando in November around Thanksgiving.

As the presidential elections approach, it is important to remember that Taylor Swift, a left-winger herself has encouraged her fans to register as voters.
