Hillary finds her way to Lakewood

Thursday night at the (second) home of Lightstone Group head David Lichtenstein, Hillary does Lakewood.

It seems like many in Lakewood are betting on Hillary. Or buying her. Take a look at Lakewooder's donations to the current presidential candidates:

Why all the love for the socially liberal candidate? Because she's the step-grandchild of a Yiddish-speaking Jewish immigrant, Max Rosenberg? Because like many of the donors, she prefers wearing suits?

She might be pro-abortion, pro-gay rights, ethically challenged, but this isn't politics- it's business. Money(theirs) is access; access is money(yours and mine). Real estate folks and BMG heads play the game hard.

It's dangerous to get too close to money & politics. The more you play, the more chances are you'll lose.

All attendes better be very careful they're coming with their very own money. The FBI dosen't exactly like when someone gives their own money for others to donate. It's called "bundling" and Charles Kushner lived in a jail cell for a while in part because of it.

Reality is: When frum people play the game of money & politics- they play at our risk.

By the way: Anyone got an extra (free) ticket?

If a tent falls in a forest...

Off Route 88 in Lakewood, next to yeshivas, kollelim, and businesses there's a large forest. In middle of its tall trees and small shrubbery are lots of tents. Tents made up of cloth or wood; of all sizes.

Sadly, they're people's houses. Day and night, warm weather and cold, men and women call these "temporary" fixtures home.

Next to birds and squirrels, Lakewood has got a new growing neighborhood.The federal government, together with a local Catholic church are helping construct them. Daily, more tents and huts are being nailed into the ground. More people moving in.

People are finding The Great Outdoors- very inviting for their indoors.

Diversity hasn't yet located its way into the dark forest. Tent City has got two separate sections: one for Blacks, one for Hispanics.

The inhabitants have no permit. There's alcohol, drugs, all around. The rent-paying, mortgage-paying neighbors are at wits end. When some of the occupants are bored they brake into the nearby properties and vandalize. Cars are bashed up; schools broken into. The police say there's nothing they can do about it. The elected officials say there's nothing they can do about it.

So the illegal tents continue going up, while a chunk of the community continues going down.

When a tent falls in a forest and elected officials don't hear.....
