Both claim that successful people have "too much" because they "oppress" or "exploit" those with too little. Both blame others for every problem in their lives and every evil in the world rather than working to make their own lives better. https://youtu.be/_n5dtHlJ2XY?si=BrhVkBZyQXhzuY0B Two good people were killed in Mays Landing last Saturday because we have allowed our democracy to become totally useless and dysfunctional. President Trump created $10 trillion of our $40 trillion federal government debt. He didn't have to do that. He had choices. Why did the pro-Israel "AIPAC" lobby help defeat Tom Massie? Massie is a fiscal conservative and longtime member of the Freedom Caucus who tried to cut spending and balance the budget. Short answer: President Trump hated Massie and wanted to get him out of Congress. It is now normal for almost every organized lobbying group to help elect bad politicians and defeat good ones so they can get what they want from the government. EDITED TRANSCRIPT OF SETH GROSSMAN RADIO INTERVIEW WITH JOHN DEMASI ON AUGUST 29, 2026: SETH GROSSMAN: This Friday, September 4, we'll hold a ceremony, - at the park by the library in Somers - Point, - at Shore Road across the street from Charlie's - Bar. - To remember Richard Somers, our local hero from Somers Point. He died on September 4, 1804, in Tripoli, North Africa. He fighting in America's first foreign war against Islamic terror. The full story of Richard Somers is published on Page 8 of this week's edition of Shore Local, a free newspaper in the area. Morton Klein, the President of the ZOA, the Zionist Organization of America will be speaking at 7pm this Sunday night at the Rodef Sholom Synagogue at Plaza Place and Atlantic Avenue, in Atlantic City. According to the flyers, he will be talking about how to fight antisemitism, and the propaganda lies against Israel. Unfortunately, most Jewish organizations that claim to fight antisemitism make the problem worse. That is because they seem more interested - in keeping their stupid rainbow, - leftist coalition together so we keep electing Democrats. They are not protecting Jews. JOHN DEMASI: What is the reason? Why is there so much antisemitism? - I know you could talk for an hour - about this, but what do you know about it? SETH GROSSMAN: In my opinion, socialism is the main cause of antisemitism, that is hatred of Jews and we have more socialism than ever in America today. Socialism is built on two basic ideas. One is envy and jealousy. Socialism tells people if they don't have what they want in their lives, it is because a small group of rich, powerful people took it away. It promotes the idea that too many people have too little because one small group has too much. It also teaches people to blame and hate a small group of other people for every problem or evil in the world, instead of taking responsibility and working to make thins better. Once you have that mentality, it is very easy to get to antisemitism. That is, blame Jews for everything that is bad in the world. That is because for years, Jews have been very successful in free societies like Europe and America. Jews are taught since childhood to read, and study, and learn, and share information with others. Those are skills that help you succeed in free societies. And then, most Jewish organizations make this problem work. When these Jewish organizations claim they are fighting antisemitism, they rarely attack the Communists and the socialists who are the worst Jew haters. They instead falsely blame people they call "white supremacists" or "right wing extremists." But they really attack many good Christians, conservatives, Republicans and of course, President Trump. And when you falsely blame good people for being antisemites, you are going to make many of them angry. The truth is that in real life, you don't have classes of bad people oppressing and exploiting good people. Most real people have good and bad within them. Very often, mostly bad people will do good things, and mostly good people will do bad things. The key to life is critical thinking, good judgment, discernment, wisdom. At one time, Americans were very good at that. The most important story is this. Two good people were killed in Mays Landing last Saturday because we are unwilling and unable to lock up criminals, especially teenage criminals who bully people, attack people, rob people, and kill people. At about 3:30 AM early last Saturday morning, in the middle of the night, four teenagers from Atlantic City - stole a big, expensive $200,000 SUV in Longport. When they were approached by the Longport police, they drove away over the Longport Bridge towards Somers Point at a very high rate of speed. -The ended up on Route 50 in Mays Landing. They were speeding. They crossed over and drove on the wrong side of the road. They ran head on into a couple driving in the opposite direction. It was at Route 50 and 3rd Street, right in the middle of Mays Landing. They killed Alice Stillwell - and Robert Barr, both of Egg Harbor Township. We posted the whole story on our website - under the title, - I I believe that the title was, - something like, - two two here it is. Teens - caught and released twice in Atlantic City - till two in Mays Landing. - And when you look at the video - of just, you must had a huge SUV. - I think it was a $280,000, - car, Mercedes, - SUV. - Well, it must have been going 70 or - 80 miles an hour, - swerves into the oncoming lane - and hits these poor people. You see they - never had a chance. The absolute horror. - And if you don't already know how evil - and dysfunctional - the politics and government of this country have - become, - the senseless death of these two people should - wake you up, - but I'm not so sure. - Because - what led to the deaths of Alice Stillwell - and Robert Barr - have been going on for fifty years. And - I just don't have time to discuss the - details, but let's just talk about the the - main points. Number one, for the past sixty - five years, - black Americans and the rest of us have - been fed this fake black history instead of - real American history. - And the fake black history tells us that - every problem, every failure in the black community - is the fault of white racism. - Therefore, black teachers, black parents, black leaders, or - black anybody - has no responsibility - whatsoever for their actions - responsibility - for raising their children. Number three. We have - schools that spend $25,000 - a year that teach these kids absolutely no - skills, - no discipline, - no sense of controlling yourself, - knows living in a civilized - society. All they're taught is anger and hate - and blame somebody else for everything wrong in - your life and and to have this, chip - on your shoulder. - Number four. We have a culture that makes - police - more afraid of criminals - than criminals are afraid of police. - Now I don't know the details of this - case, but it seems that groups of teenagers - in Atlantic City - had been stealing, - very expensive high end cars in Longport - and other rich down beach neighborhoods for months. - And one of the teens, the one that - killed Alice Stilwell and Robert Barr, one of - the four teens in in that car because - we don't really know who was driving that - car. - He was arrested and released twice for stealing - cars - just in the past two months. Jeez. And - how did this happen? - Were the Longport police afraid to confront a - black teenager walking around the neighborhood in the - middle of the night? - Were they afraid that they'd be sued for - profiling? - Because that's that's what it is. Remember walking - by while black, driving by while black? - We we convinced these police officers - that they make one mistake - and their career, their lives are over. They're - ruined. And so when they they see stuff - that is suspicious that you ought to investigate, - they don't, - because we don't support police - who who do who are proactive. - And of course, what happened when they Long - Port Police at I guess it was 03:30 - in the morning, - saw the fourteens, - in the car acting, - suspiciously. I don't know if they were speeding - or ran through a stop sign or a - red light. - Heck, I know what happens to me if - I run a red light in Longport. - If I run a stop sign in Longport, - heck, if I go more than 35 miles - an hour in Longport, you know, they're - I I get pulled over. - But for whatever reason, these four teams, they - just took off at 03:30 in the morning. - And, - according to the reports in the paper, the - Long Port Police say, well, they went they - went away. - Doesn't say any sign of a pursuit and - that's probably - it is, those, four teens end up in - Mays Landing four hours later, - 07:45. - The Hamilton Township Police, see them, - follow them, but it's too late. The the - teens had speeded up. They were going 70 - to 80 miles an hour. And, by time - the Hamilton police got there minutes later, - you know, two people were dead. - So, - that that's what we have. -
