As excited as we are getting that Conservatism will soon be in control of all three branches of the federal government—and for once seem to be genuinely interested in reducing the size of that government, it is important to remember there is still a lot of work to do across America, particularly at the state and local levels.
Republicans encouragingly moved every county in America to the right and almost won a traditionally blue state like New Jersey. But New Jersey still has its blue swamp holes.
Take the town of Edison, for example, where the city council recently banned the American flag at its meetings.
Now, allow a few seconds to read that line again.
Yes, our American flag was banned from the city council meeting.
Wha is worse, the council proved they are willing to enforce this new rule at the point of a gun. When one resident defied the rule to speak to the council holding Old Glory, the council had police remove him.
WATCH:
JUST IN: Angry man goes off on Edison, New Jersey council after it banned American flags at its meetings.
Police then removed him from the podium.

Technically, the new rule, called Ordnance 2239, bans all ‘props’ from town council meetings. And, yes, our American flag is now a ‘prop’? These people are some dangerous kind of extreme Left.
Further, as a limit to free speech, Ordnance 2239 also drastically reduces the amount of time citizens are allowed to speak before the council.
The man in the video, Joel Bassoff, is both a resident of Edison and an attorney. As you can see in the video, he has promised to sue the council. Good for him. He should.
And after he wins, the entire council, including President Nishith Patel (the man who had police remove Bassoff) should be recalled and fired.
The New Jersey Republican Party has all but promised the next council meeting on December 11 will be an entire sea of American flags.
🚨 BREAKING: Democrats in Edison, NJ have banned the American Flag, the U.S. Constitution, and other ‘props’ from their Council Meetings.
The next meeting is December 11th at 7:00pm.
We hope to see you there!

America will be watching. Oh, and imagine who else has promised to get involved?
They do not know what they’ve done.
See you soon, New Jersey.

Uh-oh. You screwed up BIG TIME, Edison Town Council.
I know where I'll be next Wednesday evening, peacefully displaying as many American flags as possible and live streaming these anti-American jackals. @X is the media now!

We the People have marked our calendars.
It is just astonishing how much Democrats hate America. https://t.co/eRkIUJgfxY

Well, they’ve been telling us they hate America for years.
The difference is that now we are listening and now we believe them when they tell us who they are.
NJ = CA JR. When city officials/school boards don't want to hear criticism, they just have their jack-booted thugs remove you. https://t.co/XxeLgxu4bf

It’s completely unbelievable that something like this is happening in 2024. They will lose the lawsuit, but the fact that they even attempted this is despicable and every one of them should be terminated. https://t.co/kEcFq2MhrJ

Some of the council members have elections coming up soon and should probably start updating their resumes.
Here is the list of the full city council for Edison NJ and when their terms end…do with that what you will pic.twitter.com/HHypNtFMan

Oh, look at that. The council president himself is up for re-election in 2025.
Bassoff should absolutely run against him. And run campaign ads featuring the video above.
New Jersey WILL go red. With this kind of stuff and Scott Presler making it his goal.

People often say that blue-state residents get this because they keep voting for it. And that is true. Or at least it has been true.
For the past two election cycles in a row, New Jersey has shifted right. If elected officials keep this up, the blue swamps may turn red enough to put these hateful public servants all in the unemployment line.
Democrat Party Hates America. That’s the bottom line. Example 1,576,831 https://t.co/5IDDqFkYty

Trump made major gains in NJ on election night as well as most Dem areas.
Citizens in blue cities and states aren't taking it anymore. https://t.co/V7aGr9hPCe

We the People hope this is true. And we hope the residents of New Jersey have long memories.
The days when democrat officials represented the people who elected them are long gone—they have transformed into communists/globalists. They keep proving they hate this country, do not care about or respect their voters, and will even have armed police forcibly silence them.
It is high time voters started rejecting them.
With Scott Presler now heavily involved in turning New Jersey red, at the federal, state, and local level, there may be hope for The Garden State yet.
