Late this afternoon, Mayor Ravi Bhalla announced there will be a Friday afternoon protest hosted at Maxwell Park lending support to an effort organized by Black Lives Matters, the radical leftist George Soros funded organization.
Bhalla’s brother Amar is thought to be working for the George Soros funded Open Society Foundation in New York City. Some have speculated that his brother played a role in bringing the controversial protest to Hoboken during the pandemic as the Mile Square City remains in near lockdown.
As I said in the wake of the despicable hate crimes committed in Jersey City last December, we are confronting problems in this state and this country that I cannot believe we are still facing at this point in our history. I emphatically reject the idea that violence is the solution to those problems. I am proud of the people of Newark, Camden and elsewhere who have raised their voices in peaceful protest to seek justice for George Floyd and the many other victims like him, and to call for change.
For those residents reading this, it will come as quite a shock to learn a local website is promoting a protest in Hoboken this Friday against the very real science of an ongoing pandemic.
Let’s be more blunt, it’s shocking for the stupidity exhibited during an actual and very real pandemic.
The Hoboken Girl blog is promoting this hot mess for Hoboken’s Maxwell Park this Friday.
Does anyone know if this Hoboken Girl blog is officially charged to overwrite US national policy CDC guidelines during a pandemic?
An overlapping measure of the Hoboken pandemic’s curve being stomped into the dirt coincides with the political conflict soaring between Mayor Ravi Bhalla and Councilman Mike DeFusco.
The pandemic merely masked the years long Cold War between the parties since the terror flyer hit the sidewalk mere days before the 2017 mayoral election.

As there’s been but a handful of cases reported in Hoboken in recent days of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Virus, the warring alleging abuse of power by Ravi Bhalla’s staff exploded into the usually quiet Memorial Day Holiday weekend.
In a late-breaking holiday weekend story, Councilman Mike DeFusco fired a guided missile at Mayor Ravi Bhalla after it was learned the Republican law firm where Bhalla holds a second job has filed a lawsuit against Governor Murphy over his allegedly illegal lockdown edict.
Ravi Bhalla is Of Counsel to the law firm and the city spokesman Vijay Chaudhuri fired back with a personal attack about the councilman allegedly going to the gym in Manhattan leading into the pandemic and visiting seniors “door to door” calling it a risk “jeopardizing” their lives.
Last night the Hoboken City Council declined Mayor Ravi Bhalla’s request to increase taxes 5% on an interim basis pending the introduction of Hoboken’s 2020 budget.
His request will be carried by the City Council for approval at the next meeting in two weeks.
Close observers recognize there’s likely another double-digit tax increase coming on top of the interim tax increase of 5% when the full budget is finally introduced by the Bhalla Administration.
Ravi Bhalla points to losses of a million per month in tax revenues during the pandemic. This is in addition to the estimated $14 million some claim existed prior. The all-in figure speculated is roughly in the ballpark of a $20 million budget deficit projected for 2020.
