8.15.26 Seth Grossman WPG Radio. We Remember Richard Somers on September 4, While Others Forget. Regarding “Moderate” Muslims. $2.98 Wawa Coffee 60% More Than a Few Weeks Ago.

Summary: Seth Grossman from Liberty and Prosperity. WPG Radio August 15, 2026. We should not be the only folks in South Jersey to hold an event to remember Richard Somers. Above Image: Statue and Park Dedicated to Richard Somers. We invite you to join us as we tell his story at 10am on September 4, the day he died in Tripoli in 1804. The park is located next to the library at 801 Shore Road (at New Jersey Avenue), in Somers Point. To the best of my knowledge, we are the only organization in South Jersey that will remember Richard Somers on September 4, the day he was killed in Tripoli in 1804. We are holding an event by the Richard Somers Park in Somers Point at 10 am on Friday, September 4-- the Friday before Labor Day weekend. We invite you to join us. Richard Somers died in a war against the same people we are now fighting in Iran. They are the same people who murdered 3,000 Americans in New York City and in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. The same enemy that captured and took more - than a million white Christians - as slaves from Europe and made them slaves - in Africa - for more than a thousand years. And the - same people who captured more than 5 million Black Africans as slaves throughout the Arab world. Many organizations will remember September 11. However, nobody else is holding an event to remember when Americans fought back and defeated those people. Not the Atlantic County Historical Society. Not the Somers Point Historical Society. Not the Ocean City or Cape May County historical societies. Not a single town, not a single library. Book Promotion: By the way, the back story of the vicious attacks by Muslim Arabs and Turks against Christians in Europe and Blacks in Africa is described in my book, 1676 Project, how New Jersey shaped America. Why don't we talk about "moderate" Muslims? First, there is several fundamental differences between Islam and other world religions. Judaism and Christianity are both based on the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would want others to do to you." Buddhists and Hindus have similar values. Islam does not. Non-believers, no matter how good, and loving, and fair, have no place is Islam. Because of this, if a Muslim jihadi attacks, murders, rapes or commits any other barbaric crime against a non-Muslim in the name of Islam, you will not find any Islamic religious or community leader openly denounce the attack and claim that that the attacker was a disgrace to Islam. On the contrary, most leaders will insist on a proper Islamic burial for the perpetrator. It is the total opposite for Jews and Christians. In 1994, one Jew went crazy and murdered 29 Arabs who were praying in Hebron. Every Jewish religious and political openly denounced what he did. They would not let his body be buried in a Jewish cemetery. In 2009, someone shot and killed an abortion doctor. Every Christian and pro-life leader openly denounced that murderer. Maybe we would look at so-called moderate Muslims differently if they openly and publicly denounced every Muslim who attacks and kills non-Muslims in the name of Islam. But they never, never do. They instead come up with some excuse to blame the victim. You simply cannot live in a normal society where someone you think is a peaceful neighbor can attack you out of the blue like that. You also can't have a normal democracy where every member of one religion will automatically vote only for members of that religion and against anyone who is not a believer of that religion.

Rising Living Costs: The 20-ounce cup of coffee I just bought at Wawa is now $2.79 plus the 19-cent sales tax for a total of $2.98. It was $1.75 plus a 12 cent tax, or $1.87 just a few weeks ago. So Wawa is charging me 60% more. And the state government gave me a big 60% tax increase by basing its tax on the higher price for the same 10-ounce cup of coffee. And of course, prices are up for everything else. Groceries, restaurants, houses, rent, college tuition and doctor bills. This is a big deal and everybody is talking about inflation. However, very few people are talking about what is causing it, and how to stop it. Higher gas prices from the war in Iran. I'm sure others besides will have a lot to say about this. Probably the biggest problem is that a good leader doesn't start a war without first explaining to people the price that must be paid to win that war. Of course, higher gas prices cause higher prices for everything else. Gas is needed for fertilizer to grow the coffee beans, roast the beans, ship them to America and then bring them to Wawa. And higher gas prices raise the cost of everything else we buy. Higher prices for "green" electricity. Governor Murphy and the Democrats shut down six power plants. We're not going to have lower prices until we rebuild, replace, or reopen them. Federal Borrowing and Spending The Federal government spent $1.8 trillion dollars more than it took in during the past twelve months. That's one thousand eight hundred billion dollars! Trump Republicans together with Biden Democrats increased the national debt from $19 trillion in 2016 to $40 trillion today. This is simply not sustainable. Every dollar the federal government spends more than it takes in is a dollar that the federal government prints out of thin air. It makes every dollar we have and every dollar we earn less valuable. A lot of the inflation we have is nothing more than our dollars being worth a lot less. Higher Property Taxes caused by public schools and local government costing too much. Bad Zoning Laws make it too expensive to build anything. They also smother competititon. The people who created New Jersey in 1676 knew how to fix this. Why can't we learn from them? EDITED TRANSCRIPT OF AUGUST 15, 2026 SETH GROSSMAN RADIO INTERVIEW ON WPG RADIO WITH JOHN DEMASI: Why are we the only ones who remember Richard Somers on September 4? On September 4, the Friday before Labor Day Weekend, we will remember Richard Somers. He is the national hero from Somers Point. September 4 is the day he was killed in Tripoli, in North Africa. He was fighting the same war against the same people we are now fighting in Iran. The Richard Somers story is remarkable in many ways. It was once well known by every American with an eighth grade - education. Yet today, hardly anyone knows that story except. Hardly anybody else knows that story. Many who do know don't seem to care. We have an Atlantic County Historical Society. - They have nothing planned. We have an Ocean City Historical Society, Egg Harbor Township Historical Society. - We have libraries in Atlanta County, Cape May - County, Ocean City, - Stockton University. - Not one major local institution - has any event to remember this remarkable local hero. He is probably the only true national hero who came from this area. I don't know of any businesses doing Richard Somers promotions. No Richard Somers hats or T-shirts. No community events. Nothing done by the city of Somers Point, Ocean City, Atlantic City or anyone else. In most tourist attractions, businesses and communities give more recognition to their local pirates, outlaws and scoundrels than we give to Richard Somers. Why are we, Liberty and Prosperity, a tiny breakfast discussion group of aging Boomers during this. We all know why. To remember Richard Somers is to talk about why he fought and died in Tripoli 222 years ago. We have to remember that he was fighting the same enemy that is shouting "Death to America" in Iran. hE FOUGHT the same enemy who murdered 3,000 Americans in New York and the Pentagon and in those airplanes on 09/11/2001, - The same enemy that captured and took more - than a million white Christians - as slaves from Europe and made them slaves in Africa for more than a thousand years. And the same people who captured more than 5,000,000 blacks - from Africa - and sold them as slaves throughout the entire Arab world. And by the way, that entire backstory - of the Richard Summer story is described in - detail in my book, the 1676 - project. - And you could get that from us at - Liberty and Prosperity for $20 or at several - local stores. You could buy it on Amazon for $25 - and you could buy it on Kindle for - $10, - through Amazon. Why don't we recognize "moderate" Muslims? You were troubled when you talked about that conservative Muslim listener who reach out to you. He asked why we don't talk about the great majority of Muslims in America who are not violent. I think there's a very simple reason why. Because every barbaric act of violence that we've been dealing with was done by Muslims who claimed they were doing what their religion instructed them to do. When a Pakistani murders an American in New York, it is not about any conflict between America and Pakistan. When a Tunisian uses a truck to murder nearly a hundred people on a promenade in a seaside resort in France, it was not about any conflict between Tunisia in France. And what do other Muslims do and say when someone commits such horrible acts in the name of their religion? We know what Jews and Christians do. Back in 1994, a Jew in Israel went crazy and murdered 29 Muslims when they were praying in Hebron. He was openly denounced by every Jewish religious and political leader in Israel and America and all over the world. They would not even let him be buried in Jewish cemetery. When someone murdered an abortion doctor in Kansas, he was publicly denounced and repudiated by every Catholic leader, every pro-life leader, every Christian leader in America. And because of that,...
