She then attacked Giralo for attending Liberty and Prosperity meetings and being an "ally" of Grossman and the Liberty and Prosperity organization. Both Seth Grossman and host John DeMasi praised Giralo's job as County Clerk. Defense of Giralo: Grossman noted at as a lawyer who deals with the Clerk's office, he finds that Giralo is one of the most efficient County Clerks he has deal with. He noted that deeds and other documents that once took weeks or months to process are now recorded within days. he host and Grossman praise Giralo's efficiency and responsiveness as county clerk. Grossman Explains Why Elections with In-Person Voting on One Election Day are more honest and efficient: 1. People are more willing to lie on paper forms than in-person in front of election officials. 2. There should not be electioneering within 200 feet of polling places. With paper ballots, evdry kitchen table is a polling place. 3. In-person voting screens out people who are obviously drunk, drugged up or otherwise not competent to vote. 4. Elections must appear to be honest and give people faith in the system. This is not possible with a 45 day harvest season of paper ballots.

Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar and its Muslim Brotherhood all wanted the United States to fight Iran. But they never wanted us to win. Jihadis now dominate the Islamic World and they believe they are winning: They believe Muslims are willing to fight and die for their cause, while Christians, Hindus and the West would rather peacefully submit. They believe that Muslim families are having 5, 10 and 15 children, while most young people in the west are not marrying and not having any children. They don't have to worry about supporting their children since they can count on Christian "compassion." There are two main branches of Islam. Most are "Sunni." However most Muslims in Iran, Yemen, and parts of Lebanon are "Shia." Both Sunni and Shia agree that the entire world must at some point submit to Islam. Almost all "Sunni" Muslims agree that one "Caliph" should run the Islamic World as a Caliphate. However, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and The Muslim Brotherhood based in Qatar each think they should be the ones running it. They all oppose Iran because Iran wants its "12th Imam" to rule the world. They want Iran to be weak. They do not want Iran to be a strong pro-American country.

Seth Grossman and Liberty and Prosperity now a political issue in effort by Democrats to unseat Republican Jo Giralo as Atlantic County Clerk. SETH GROSSMAN: As a lawyer who deals with recording documents at the county courthouse, I can tell you personally that Joe Giralo is probably the most efficient county clerk we've ever had. There was a time when the county clerk clerk's office would take two or three months to record a deed or other simple document. Now, with Joe Giralo, everything is filed and posted online within a couple days. This is good for everyone who does business with real estate in Atlantic County. So if you can't run against somebody based on the job they're doing, -you have to talk about issues that have nothing to do with the job you are running for. And that is exactly what Lisa Bender, the Democrat running against Joe Giralo is doing. Last night, she posted something on her website that said - "Seth Grossman, - leader of Liberty and Prosperity, the Atlantic County Republican candidate for Congress in 2018, - an ally of, Joe Giralo made a post - claiming that many vote by mail voters - are uninformed, - intoxicated, - dependent on government assistance, - and manipulated into voting.". - And then she says, -"It's worth noting - that Atlantic County Clerk Joe Giralo has appeared - and spoken before - Liberty and Prosperity meetings and with Seth Grossman, and they have shared political circles and public events for years." So, basically, she's saying, "Don't vote for Joe Giralo because he talks to Seth Grossman and goes to Liberty and Prosperity meetings." JOHN DEMASI: That is so ridiculous. - That is I mean, that's that's the most - ridiculous - thing I have ever heard in my life. - Joe Giralo - is one of the finest individuals, first of - all, I know. - Secondly, you are right, and people don't know - this. He's in his office all the time. I joke with him. I say "I heard you were in the office working late the other night. Now you're going into the office at a quarter-to-seven in the morning. He's in there at 6:30 A.M. He's all over the county. So, I - mean, - there is nobody better - than Joe Giralo. - And you know, - leave it to the Democrats to make an - issue out of something that isn't an issue. SETH GROSSMAN: Well, you see what they're doing. They want to say Seth Grossman is radical and extreme. They're goal is to goad Joe into saying, oh, Seth - Grossman. I never heard of him. I don't support these things. I just dropped by a Liberty and Prosperity breakfast once in a while because I was hungry and the serve a nice breakfast at Sal's. But I want to make it clear, and I've been saying this for years. So called "mail-in ballots" that are collected by "community organizers" over a 45 day period are awful for many reasons. We need to return to in-person voting on one Election Day. I've been talking about this since 2020 when Trump lost that election. A lot of people claimed it was a stolen election and that there was massive fraud. And I said, yes, there is some fraud in every election. But I said that most of the ballots that went against were signed by genuine people. However, they were harvested by community organizers over a 45 day period and many of them were drunk, on drugs, homeless, or all of those things and had no idea who they were voting for. And there was probably more fraud than usual. But you couldn't prove fraud in any court. Than is because when you mail in ballots and don't see the voters, you have no idea who voters are, where they really live, or whether they are capable of voting. You just see names of people on piece of paper. That is why I have proposed for years that the only way to fix this is - to go back to in-person voting on one Election Day where everybody shows no ID. Because here are the problems with 45 days of mailing in or dropping in paper ballots. 1. Mail-in voting encourages fraud. I know as a lawyer that many, many times, people who are willing - to sign false papers or lie in an affidavit - in a lawyer's office - are not willing to say that same lie - in person in front of a judge. We know for a fact that with welfare - and unemployment claims, - you had a lot less fraud when people - had to go in person - and pick up their check - and swear in-person that they were looking for work that they were qualified for the benefits, that that everything they signed for on their forms was true. People are just more willing to lie quietly on a piece of paper privately, when they are not face-to-face in front of a public official. It's human nature. I've seen it. 2. In-person voting prevents electioneering within 200 feet of a polling. In my history book, The 1676 Project, I point out that one of the greatest reforms that the founders of New Jersey started in 1676 was the idea of a secret ballot. Every voter had to appear in person on Election Day and put his or her ballot into a sealed Ballot Box so that everybody could see in person that every vote was genuine, and that every voter was real. We had that system for more than 300 years, and it worked! There was no reason to change it. Now there's no electioneering within 200 feet of the polling place when you have in-person voting on Election Day. But when you have mail-in and messenger ballots, every kitchen table and living room becomes a polling place. And we've all seen what happens: You have bullying, intimidation, - undue influence, all sorts of sorts of things. You - know, you have grandma at the kitchen table filling out her ballot, and a whole lot of people looking over her shoulder. Do you think her vote might be influenced by those people around her? Do you think she might vote for someone else if she were in a public polling place with the curtain closed? 3. In-person voting screens out people who are drunk, under the influence of drugs, or otherwise mentally incompetent. Well, if it's if it's not safe to - to drive a car, - when you're drunk or under the influence - should you have the power to choose people who will have the power to run our lives for the next three or four years?...

The event supports their annual fund, which awards $1,000 scholarships to students interested in the organization's mission. The 1676 Project Book: Grossman emphasized the importance of historical literacy and reading books over watching television. He noted that his book explains how historical figures depicted on local stained glass windows influenced New Jersey. The book is now available on consignment for $20 at local shops in Somers Point and Margate, as well as on Amazon. Electric Bill Politics: Grossman warned against a "woke, left-wing" brochure blame-shifting high electric bills. He argued that standard energy policies, not a lack of wind turbines, drive up utility costs. Critique of Political Economy: Grossman criticized "free" programs like Atlantic City’s $10,000 high school graduation essays (funded by federal COVID relief) and local tax credits. He characterized these as unsustainable wealth redistribution that corrupts democracies and fails to address core budget issues, such as New Jersey's high public education costs.
