On April 7th at 8:06 A.M., President Donald Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social and wrote, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” This comes just two days after his infamous Easter post, wherein he said that “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell.” While certainly not the first time President Trump has delivered less-than-presidential messaging, this recent turn towards genocidal rhetoric is wrong, dangerous, and wholly unbecoming of the Leader of the Free World.

This summer, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford NJ will be hosting eight matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. NJ Democrats, including Gov. Mikie Sherrill, have proposed a plan to increase our state’s sales tax by approximately 3 percentage points to 9.625% (a 45.283% increase) in order to capitalize on the influx of soccer tourists attending the event. Additionally, taxes on lodging (2.5%), gambling (10% on World Cup wagers) and rideshare (upwards of 50 cents) are also being considered.
While these taxes will be primarily focused in the Meadowlands area, this proposal will have far reaching effects on the people of NJ who are already hurting from high taxes, inflation and fuel expenses. While it is true that this could be seen as a way of recouping the $307 million in taxpayer money initially allocated by the State to secure the event, upgrade the stadium, etc., this tax hike will only further encumber an already struggling population. For all of Gov. Sherril’s talk about affordability this proposal will do nothing but impoverish the citizens of NJ.

The growing divide between patients and their doctors is one of the most overlooked consequences of modern health policy. For generations the relationship between a physician and a patient was simple and direct.
A person sought care, the doctor used their training and experience to recommend a course of action, and the patient made a decision based on trust and personal preference. Today that once straightforward relationship is buried beneath a mountain of regulations, mandates, billing codes, and bureaucratic oversight created by state and federal agencies.
Instead of a conversation between doctor and patient, health care has increasingly become a negotiation with bureaucracies. Government agencies, insurance administrators, and politically influenced health boards now shape what treatments are approved, reimbursed, or even allowed.

For Immediate Release:
February 19, 2026,
On November 11th, 2025 President Trump signed off on the “Epstein Files Transparency Act”. This law required the Justice Department to release unclassified and searchable versions of all files relating to the alleged perpetrators within 30 days of its passage and for the AG to submit a report to both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. Since its passage AG Bondi has failed to meet the timeline and those documents that were released were redacted to obscene levels.

The New Jersey Libertarian Party Calls for the Immediate Abolition of ICE, and the Impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Todd Lyons

- Written by: Jay Edgar
Nothing should arouse the ire of a libertarian more than having federal agents detaining people on the streets without probable cause. ICE agents have been canvassing the streets of New Jersey performing warrantless raids on homes and businesses. The have been sweeping up citizens, documented immigrants, and undocumented immigrants. We are witnessing the transformation of our communities into zones where "show me your papers" is no longer a dystopian trope, but a daily requirement.
Within the past week alone, the tactics used by federal agents have mirrored those of authoritarian regimes.
- In Morristown ICE kidnapped an honor High School student who has never missed an immigration appointment and had an upcoming appointment with immigration authorities.
- Also in Morristown, a father stepped outside to collect a food delivery and was snatched up – leaving his six year old daughter alone.
- In Warren Township, ICE was seen pulling people out of cars and taking them away.
- Unknown masked agents grabbed a woman and others and took them away in Red Bank.

In November 2025, and as previously published by the New Jersey Libertarian Party, the Preempted Ordinance Repeal Project intervened in Barrington Borough's consideration of a proposed "parental responsibility" ordinance after identifying serious due-process concerns in the draft law.
As originally written, Ordinance 1219 included language that would have subjected parents to municipal court summonses based largely on the conduct of their children. Specifically, if a juvenile committed a second offense within a defined period, the ordinance authorized proceedings against the parent for an alleged lack of supervision. The ordinance defined "offenses against the public peace, safety and morals" broadly, including conduct such as "being a disorderly person." Upon a second offense, the parent was effectively presumed guilty and required to rebut that presumption.

By 2026 one truth should be impossible to ignore no institution is coming to save your health. Not the government, not Big Pharma, not the latest app wearable or headline grabbing guideline. Health has always been and will remain a profoundly personal responsibility. A libertarian view of wellness does not reject science or community; it rejects the illusion that freedom can be outsourced.
Being healthy in 2026 means reclaiming ownership of your body in a world that profits from your dependency.
The modern health system is excellent at crisis management and terrible at cultivating resilience. It treats symptoms well but incentives rarely reward prevention strength or long-term vitality. If you want to thrive not merely survive you must opt out of passive consumption and opt into active participation. That starts with movement. Humans were designed to move daily not occasionally. Strength training walking sprinting mobility work these are not fitness trends they are biological necessities. You do not need permission to lift weights take the stairs or challenge your comfort zone. You need discipline.
Nutrition in 2026 should be guided less by food pyramids and more by personal experimentation. Centralized dietary dogma has failed repeatedly because people are not averages. Real health comes from eating whole unprocessed foods prioritizing protein healthy fats and vegetables and paying attention to how your body responds. Read labels. Question marketing. If a product needs a government subsidy or a cartoon mascot to survive it probably does not belong in your body. Food is information not entertainment.

Insight New Jersey
NJ government is huge and complex. Private industry is shrinking while the size and cost of government bureacracy continues to grow. The articles posted here provide a guide of the NJ State Government and can be used by citizens and candidates for office to evaluate what departments can be reduced drastically in size.
We'll start with just some of the departments and provide a breakdown on what they do (or purport to do), how many employees they have and how big their budget is.
Preempted Ordinance Repeal Project
The New Jersey Libertarian Party's Preempted Ordinance Repeal Project (“the Project”) seeks to get New Jersey municipalities to repeal loitering ordinances that should have been -- but were not -- repealed when the New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice was enacted in 1979. The Project has successfully had loitering ordinances repealed in over 30 towns. For a summary listing of all the towns see Preempted Ordinance Repeal Project page.
Police Accountability Project
The Police Accountability Project is a committee of the NJ Libertarian Party. Its goal is to search out cases of police misconduct, file former Internal Affairs (IA) complaints when appropriate, and to publicize violations of rules and laws by the police. There may be other stories posted on the NJLP Police Internal Affairs Complaint Blog page.
If you would like to help or know of a case we should be looking at, contact the committee at
