Burry Praises Library's Teen Programs

Details: Category: News; Published: 13 January 2021

MANALAPAN – A series of virtual events geared exclusively for teens is offered on a regular basis by the Monmouth County Library.

“I am so pleased the library director Judi Tolchin and the entire staff of the Monmouth County Library have been so innovative with these programs,” said County Commissioner Lillian G, Burry, the Commission’s liaison to the Library Committee. “They have created and continue to provide a variety of programs so diverse and interesting it would be hard to believe there is not something for every teen interest.”

To the Editor:

My response to the Democrat Council representative’s letter regarding the desecration of The People’s Capitol building in Washington DC on January 6th 2021.

Firstly the peaceful protest of nearly 500,000 American voters in DC on January 6th was the direct result of 74,000,000 voters having their votes disenfranchised by a clearly fraudulent election that took place on November 3rd 2020 and more importantly in the wee hours of November 4th 2020.

We believe President Trump won the election by a very large margin . If not for the Democrats ability to harvest ballots, change voting rules at the last moment, thereby violating the six states involved own State Constitutions by circumventing the states legislatures and the use of a pandemic to keep Americans from voting in person it would not have been possible to alter the results of President Trump’s win.
