Can Jon Bramnick save the New Jersey Republican Party? I hope so

Republican State Sen. Jon Bramnick announces 2025 run for NJ governor
State Sen. Jon Bramnick, a Republican, announces his run for NJ governor at The Stress Factory in New Brunswick on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024.
Can state Sen. Jon Bramnick save the Republican Party of New Jersey?
When I first came to New Jersey in 1987 it was a swing state. But over the years, with the right-wing drift of the national Republican Party, it became harder and harder for Republicans in New Jersey to win.
And now the party is burdened with Donald Trump, the definition of a lost leader. He’s like the boss of a Third World or Communist country. He has contempt for people, yet so many love him. Why? I think too many people see America as having lost to the world, and they want to bring back the “good old days” (even if it wasn’t so). They look for a demagogue, and Trump fills the bill.
Charlie Stile: GOP has golden opportunity in NJ governor’s race. But will party pick a winner?
Bramnick is one of the few Republicans who have not made a Faustian deal with Trump. Bramnick is a stand-up guy, but too often deceit works in politics.

Korn, Gojira, and Spiritbox Rock Newark, New Jersey: Photos
The post Korn, Gojira, and Spiritbox Rock Newark, New Jersey: Photos appeared first on Consequence.
Korn‘s fall North American tour stopped at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, this past Monday (September 23rd). The outing (pick up tickets here) features a stacked bill that also includes Gojira and Spiritbox.
Spiritbox got the night started with a six-song set that featured favorites like “Holy Roller” and “Circle With Me,” as well as the Canadian metal band’s brand-new single “Soft Spine.” Singer Courtney LaPlante and company fired up the crowd for the heavyweight acts to follow.

Next up was Gojira, the French metal masters who captured the world’s attention with a mind-blowing performance during the Olympics opening ceremony back in July. Frontman Joe Duplantier led a 12-song set that included the tune they played at the Olympics, “Mea culpa (Ah! Ça ira!),” as well as “Stranded,” “Flying Whales,” “L’enfant Sauvage,” and “Silvera,” all four of which made our recent list of the band’s 10 Best Songs.
It was then time for Korn to take the stage. The nu-metal pioneers are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, and they represented it well with four songs, including “Blind,” “Ball Tongue,” “Clown,” and “Shoots and Ladders” (with a bit of Metallica’s “One”).
Three-fifths of the original lineup remains in Korn, including singer Jonathan Davis, guitarist Brian “Head” Welch, and guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer. Bassist Fieldy is still an official member, but hasn’t toured with them since 2021. Ra Diaz of Suicidal Tendencies continues to fill in on bass, while drummer Ray Luzier has been with the band since 2008.
Other highlights included “Got the Life,” “Falling Away From Me,” and the set-closing “Freak on a Leash.”
The tour continues through an October 27th concert in St. Paul, Minnesota. See our photo gallery of the Newark show below.
