JUDICIAL WATCH-Corruption Chronicles

The Biden administration failed to monitor hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrant minors who entered the United States through Mexico and tens of thousands simply vanished from the government’s radar, according to a federal audit. Judicial Watch has covered the scandal extensively and is investigating the Trump administration’s plan to locate the young migrants, known as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC). A few weeks ago, several media outlets reported that the Trump administration directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to track down UAC to, among other things, prevent them from being trafficked or exploited. As the “premier” Homeland Security law enforcement agency created after 9/11 to safeguard the nation and preserve national security, ICE is responsible for monitoring the location and status of all UAC inside the U.S. but somehow the agency lost track of around half a million.

Profit, Risk, Repeat: Rethinking What Trading Success Looks Like

Short-term earnings are often used to gauge success in the trading sector. Major wins can seem like a week of green deals, a quick win on a risky asset, or beating the benchmark. True trading greatness, nevertheless, is more than just one-off results. It depends on how consistently certain outcomes are attained and how strong the system is during market declines. The notion of success has to change correspondingly when trading develops from a single pursuit into an institutional or team-based endeavor. From trader to strategist: Creating a sustainable model When starting a prop firm, where success is no longer about personal victories but about managing many traders, capital, and risk under a shared canopy, this change becomes even more crucial. The strength of a private trading company depends on the framework it creates around operational efficiency, capital allocation, and discipline. It calls for a shift from instinctive trading to...

How Medical Alerts Are Becoming More Accessible Than Ever

It used to be that peace of mind came with a price tag. For many seniors and their families, traditional medical alert systems—while undeniably helpful—came with monthly fees that quietly added up over time. But things are changing, and fast.

That’s where the concept of budget-friendly senior safety comes in. More seniors are staying in their homes longer, but they’re doing it with help from devices that don’t require monthly payments or complicated contracts. Life Assure’s no-fee medical alert system is a great example of this shift—one that blends reliability with relief from recurring costs. Let’s explore how this change is unfolding, what it means for caregivers and older adults alike, and how to spot the difference between hype and helpful when you’re... Read more →

Roland Kelm, 85, of Gloucester City

The most meaningful sermons are lived, not preached. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God. Roland “Poppy” Kelm was the kind of man who lit up a room the moment he stepped in—not because he demanded attention, but because his warmth and joy were impossible to ignore. Roland met each day with a bubbling sense of humor and a deep, steady kindness. He made life feel lighter, more colorful, and a whole lot more fun. Mr. Kelm held his faith dear and carried his beliefs with quiet strength, always grounded, always guided by a deep spiritual compass. Life didn't harden him. He was a delight.

Bill Supporting Nursing Mothers Signed into Law

Speight, Atkins, Reynolds-Jackson legislation will exempt nursing mothers from jury service (TRENTON) — A bill that will allow nursing mothers to be exempt from jury duty was signed into law today. Bill A1992, sponsored by Assemblywoman Shanique Speight, Assemblyman Reginald Atkins, and Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, takes a significant step toward ensuring fairness and compassion in New Jersey’s jury duty process. Previously, nursing mothers were not explicitly exempted from jury duty, often creating a hardship for new moms. This law changes that by exempting nursing mothers from jury duty when the child is one year of age or younger. “We have a moral obligation to support new moms, and that includes helping women who choose to feed their babies by nursing or pumping, both of which offer lifelong benefits to the child,” said Assemblywoman Speight (D-Essex, Hudson). “By exempting nursing and pumping mothers from jury duty for the first year of...
