North Wildwood – Anyone who thinks the NJ DEP wanted the Lou Booth theater area as a settlement ,Ive got a Cape May County Bridge "that is guaranteed to open without getting stuck" to sell you!

Upper Township – There’s not enough discussion about the Biden administration underhandedly declaring war against Russia! I want to know why!

Wildwood Crest – Spouters still see this as left versus right but so many former Trump cabinet officials, high ranking military officials, and high profile Republicans opposing Trump? Are they part of the left? No….
