November 23, 2018 During a tense week recently, pipe bombs mailed to former President Barack Obama, actor Robert DeNiro, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, the offices of CNN and at least a dozen other targets dominated the news. These overtly political acts of domestic terrorism originated in South Florida and were intended to maim and kill. Fortunately, none of the identified 16 package bombs detonated. As the country held its collective breath, there were three aspects of this story that got little coverage. First, these criminal acts put tens of thousands of postal workers in harm’s way. Second, despite the threat of injury or death, 500,000 dedicated, trained and accountable postal workers continued to carry out their mission contained in the 1970 Postal Reorganization Act: “The Postal Service shall have as its basic function the obligation to provide postal services to bind the nation together. … It shall provide prompt, reliable...

(Gloucester Township, NJ) – The Camden County Department of Health and Human Services was notified by the Voorhees Pediatric Facility of two additional cases of adenovirus. These two cases bring the facility’s total case count to twelve residents that have tested positive for adenovirus.

John Grimaldi WASHINGTON, DC – Americans receive tens of billions of robocalls each year– that’s billions with a “B.” And, you can make book on the fact that too many of them are not from telemarketers but from telescammers targeting senior citizens, says the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. “Technology is making it easier to place automated phone calls and while many legitimate companies use them to sell products and services, criminals are having a lucrative field day using computer-generated calls to swindle innocent citizens,” according to AMAC president Dan Weber. The Federal Communications Commission [FCC] says that the number one consumer complaint it consistently receives is for unwanted automated calls. In fact, during the first half of 2018, the number of robocalls increased by at least 50%. Ethan Garr, an executive at TelTech, a company that makes one of the many call blocker apps on the market, says... Read more →

published Monday, May 06, 2013 Mark Matthews | CNBNewsnet The first trailer for a new major movie set in Ocean City, NJ has been released. The trailer also shows a scene taking place in Atlantic City. Unfortunately media sites indicate the film was shot in New York. Are State Tax Credits to blame? Kristen Wiig scored huge with Bridesmaids, and this summer she is back in a romantic comedy called "Girl Most Likely" co-starring Glee's Darren Criss and also featuring well known actors Annette Bening and Matt Dillon. I make this assessment only from viewing the trailer, but the movie seems to have a clear common theme with another movie set in this area "Silver Lining Playbook". Both have the storyline of "Adult child needs to live back at home after suffering mental lapses". Unfortunately, one thing that may also be in common to both movies, is that while they...

Documents sought are currently barred from public view in the California Supreme Court The First Amendment Coalition (FAC) has filed a motion in the California Supreme Court to unseal records regarding Gov. Jerry Brown's effort to pardon former state Sen. Rod Wright, who was convicted in 2014 on multiple felony counts, including perjury and voter fraud. The Wright records are just one example of several dozen recent cases where the Governor has sought to pardon people via a process that results in large numbers of documents being automatically filed under seal at the state’s high court. Such automatic sealing is not permitted under California law. FAC’s motion argues that the high court has an obligation under California common law, the California Constitution and the First Amendment to provide access to at least some of the Wright file—as well as the several dozen other similar cases now pending before the court....

The FBI is pleased to announce the official launch of the National Use-of-Force Data Collection will take place on January 1, 2019. The National Use-of-Force Data Collection, the first of its kind, is an addition to the national data collections in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. Law enforcement officers across the country face complex and dangerous policing environments that may result in the use of force. To date, there has been no mechanism for collecting nationwide statistics related to use-of-force incidents. While some law enforcement agencies and states have proactively developed their own use-of-force data collections for use at both the local and state level, there has yet to be a consistent, aggregated view of such data from a national perspective. At the request of major law enforcement organizations, the FBI established the National Use-of-Force Data Collection in an effort to promote more informed conversations regarding law enforcement...

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on sexual misconduct as a society-wide problem: Sexual misconduct is a ubiquitous phenomenon, sparing no institution. Moreover, it is hardly unique to our age. Yet by reading news stories, as well as commentaries by pundits, this would not be so evident. These sources would have us believe that the Catholic Church is the worst offender. There is no evidence to support this claim. The latest media source to float this invidious myth is the Philadelphia Inquirer; its editorial of November 19 is scurrilous. After indicting the bishops—all the bishops—it makes a comment that simply cannot be defended. "Yes, there have been sexual-abuse scandals at other institutions," it says, "including public schools, universities, other religious organizations, the media, politics, and Hollywood. But nowhere has the abuse been as widespread and accountability so disregarded." How in the world could any newspaper, or for that matter any... Read more →

HARRISBURG PA (November 2018)— Attorney General Josh Shapiro today announced felony charges against a Cumberland County teacher just hours before she was to chaperone a student field trip. An investigation by Office of Attorney General Agents led to the seizure of cocaine, methamphetamine, and hundreds of prescription pills, notably Adderall. “I’m working to keep Pennsylvanians safe in their neighborhoods, and taking down illegal drug dealers – especially those in close contact with children like teachers and school staff – is a critical part of that mission. Drug dealers push poison into our communities, putting us all at risk,” said Attorney General Shapiro. “I’m proud to partner with local law enforcement agencies, like the New Cumberland Police Department, Cumberland County Drug Task Force and Cumberland County District Attorney’s Office, doing this difficult work on the ground every single day in communities across the Commonwealth.” Earlier this month, Office of Attorney General...
