CNBNews OPINION: IN NJ HIGHER TAXES ARE FORCING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES

 

William E Cleary Sr. | CNBNews Editor/publisher

This past year two elderly families who lived in the *Riverview Heights section of Gloucester City were forced to move because they couldn't afford to live in their homes any longer.  These were longtime residents who have resided in our immediate neighborhood for 25 years plus.

Watching the one senior citizen being evicted by a Camden County Sheriff Officer was heartbreaking. Besides giving up her home she had to give up her dog Popeye along with her cat because the place where she moved to didn't allow pets. Much of her belongings were placed on the curb for trash pickup as there was no room for it in the county home.  The other elderly residents said by moving out of Gloucester City and Camden County to Gloucester County they actually were going to save  $2,000 because their taxes, utility costs and insurance were lower.

Today both homes remain empty.

According to Vatican observer Edwin Pentin, it is "not clear" whether "the role of homosexuality in the abuse crisis" will be addressed at the Vatican summit on clergy sexual abuse; it begins tomorrow. One thing is for sure: every effort to downplay the role of gays is being made.

OPINION: Clericalism Does Not Cause Sexual Abuse

February 20, 2019

Bill Donohue | CNBNews Contributor

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the notion that clericalism causes sexual abuse:
 
It is popular in left-wing circles to adopt the Marxist vision of society, one which interprets social interaction purely on the basis of power. According to this perspective, society consists of power brokers and their subjects, and not much more. This is a very narrow lens, a myopic condition that blinds them to reality.

Turning a Right into a Privilege: HR 1112 Gives Feds Unfettered Power to Block Gun Sales

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2019

 

SUPPORT NRA-ILA

H.R. 8, which would criminalize the private transfer of firearms, has received significant attention from the gun rights community. However, H.R. 1112, which purportedly targets the inappropriately-named “Charleston loophole,” is just as insidious an attack on gun owners. Both bills were passed out of the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

H.R. 1112 would eliminate the 3-day safety-valve provision under the federal firearms background check system that prevents the government from enacting an indefinite delay of firearm purchases for law-abiding Americans.  All Federal Firearms Licensees (gun dealers) are required to conduct a background check on prospective purchasers to determine if transferring the firearm would violate state or federal law.
