James King of Richfield, N.J., caught this 18.5-pound tautog near Ocean City, tagged it and returned it to the cold depths. February is often thought of as a time for fishermen to keep busy by going over tackle, fly tying or attending outdoor shows. But others know there are fish out there and many know how to find them. The preseason trout stocking program has started in earnest, and there is good fishing for yellow perch and a mixed bag of freshwater fish. Off the coast of Ocean City, fishermen come from far and wide to pursue trophy-sized tautog. For Chesapeake Bay anglers, the best show in town is the spawning runs of yellow perch that are developing in the tidal rivers. The yellow perch are staging in the middle to upper parts of the spawning rivers and creeks and can often be found holding in some of the deeper... Read more →

Javier Hernandez Morales was arrested several times -- but authorities reportedly refused to place an ICE detainer on him. Napa, California (February 22, 2019) — The Napa County Sheriff’s Department on Wednesday (February 20, 2019) released body-worn camera footage from a weekend police shooting that killed an armed motorist, and it appears to show that the motorist fired at the deputy first before she shot back and killed him. Napa County Sheriff’s Deputy Riley Jarecki was on solo patrol Sunday night when she checked on a driver parked on the 1100 block of Henry Road in a southern part of the county, said Henry Wofford, a sheriff’s spokesman. In the 48-second clip, Jarecki approaches the driver, identified Wednesday afternoon as Javier Hernandez Morales, and shines a bright flashlight into the red car parked on the 1100 block of Henry Road. She walks to the driver’s side, raps on the glass... Read more →

February 21, 2019 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on remarks made by Pope Francis yesterday to pilgrims: Media reaction to comments made by Pope Francis linking constant accusers of the Catholic Church to the devil was predictable. When the pope says something that the media see as undermining the profile of the Holy Father that they want to project—as an ally of liberal causes—they typically ignore his remarks. They did so again today. Here is a sample of those media outlets that did not report on the pope's statement linking non-stop accusers of the Church to the work of the devil: ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Daily News, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Baltimore Sun, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, Kansas City Star, Miami Herald, Dallas Morning News, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce is again asking Gov. Phil Murphy to authorize an audit of education funding in New Jersey as way to root out waste and provide tax relief for homeowners and renters. “I appreciate that the governor ordered an audit of the Economic Development Agency and an audit of NJ Transit – and those audits were helpful — but neither of them will help the state deal with its number one problem, which is property taxes,” said DeCroce. “The key to property tax relief is finding out where our education tax money is going and how much can be saved by eliminating waste and improving efficiency,” said DeCroce, who twice last year asked the governor to commission an extensive school spending audit. DeCroce said taxpayers are funding about $28 billion a year on education in New Jersey – which makes school costs by far the biggest driver of property... Read more →

source https://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/ Months after spending $900,000 to supply immigrants and their families with “targeted services and resources,” the mayor of Washington DC is giving an open borders group $100,000 to provide English classes, legal consultants and workshops to help them become American citizens. The mayor, Muriel Bowser, proudly announced this month that the taxpayer allocation “represents the largest such government fund in the nation.” The money will help pay for projects that collaborate with employers to assist immigrant workers with the citizenship process by also hosting seminars, and individual legal consults. “Together, we’re giving more immigrants in our community a fair shot at citizenship,” Mayor Bowser said, bragging about similar programs funded with DC taxpayer dollars. “This grant builds on the work we have done through our Immigrant Justice Legal Services grant program and through the monthly citizenship workshops; it’s an example of how we can work together as a...

BOSTON — The Coast Guard is urging ice fishermen and the public to use caution and be prepared while on Lake Champlain. Ice is unpredictable and dangerous. Even in a small area, ice can significantly range in thickness making people or heavy objects susceptible to falling through. Every minute counts when you fall through the ice. Preparation may mean the difference between life and death. The Coast Guard offers these cold water and ice safety tips: Remember the acronym ICE, which stands for Information, Clothing and Equipment. Information: Plan ahead! Know the weather and ice conditions. Let a family member or friend know where you will be and when you plan to return home.

February 20, 2019 Bill Donohue | CNBNews Contributor Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the upcoming Vatican meeting on priestly sexual abuse: 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. A front-page story in the February 18 edition of the New York Times is typical of the way most of the media are covering this subject. "Studies repeatedly find there to be no connection between being gay and abusing children. Yet prominent bishops have singled out gay priests as the root of the problem, and right-wing media organizations attack what they have called the church's 'homosexual subculture,' 'lavender mafia,' or 'gay cabal.'" Furthermore, Cardinal Blase Cupich, who will... Read more →

In addition to the national data, the ten most populous states, including New Jersey, were oversampled, giving us a close look at the spending habits of Garden State residents.

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...

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. Applied to the clergy sexual abuse scandal, those on the Left, such as the National Catholic Reporter and Faith in Public Life, blame clericalism, or elitism, as the cause of the scandal. An editorial in today's National Catholic Reporter says clergy sexual abuse has "its roots deep in a clerical culture that valued secrecy, privilege and power over the welfare of child victims and their families." Similarly, John Gehring of Faith in Public Life... Read more →

Sunday Hunting Accounts for More than Ten Percent of Total Harvest Photo by John Gambriel (February 2019)(CNBNewsnet)--The Maryland Department of Natural Resources reported today that deer hunters harvested 77,382 deer during the combined archery, firearms and muzzleloader seasons, from Sept. 7, 2018, through Jan. 31, 2019. The statewide harvest included 29,699 antlered and 44,249 antlerless white-tailed deer; and 1,609 antlered and 1,825 antlerless sika deer. The harvest was 11 percent lower than the 2017-2018 total of 86,542 deer, as multiple rain and ice events on key Saturdays limited success for hunters this season. Although the total harvest was down, the number of antlerless deer taken this year represented 60 percent of the overall harvest. Also, the statewide harvest of button bucks was down 25 percent this year, an important outcome for future buck hunting opportunities in Maryland. “Poor weather dampened success on prime Saturdays, especially during the firearms season this...

PHILADELPHIA, PA--Northeast of Center City, Philadelphia’s Fishtown, Kensington and Port Richmond—collectively known as the River Wards—are some of the city’s most rapidly changing neighborhoods. New restaurants, bars, music venues, art galleries and residents are quickly transforming the makeup of these formerly working-class sections along the Delaware River. Philadelphians have found new, innovative uses for Fishtown ever since William Penn made peace with a local Lenape tribe in what’s now Penn Treaty Park. The neighborhood is the only place in the city where, in the same evening, someone can buy a custom-made guitar (DiPinto Guitars), drink craft beer while playing Skee-Ball (Garage North), eat stellar Lebanese fare in a spectacular spot (Suraya), sample site-made craft whiskeys (New Liberty Distillery) and visit the world’s only pizza museum (Pizza Brain).

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. View Related Articles 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. Under current law, if an FFL initiates a background check, but does not receive a determination from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System within three business days, the FFL may proceed with...

Specialized Lung Cells Appearing Very Early in Development are Key Newswise — PHILADELPHIA – (February 2019)--Specialized lung cells appear in the developing fetus much earlier than scientists previously thought. A new animal study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports how cells that become alveoli, the tiny compartments in which gas exchange occurs in the lung, begin their specialized roles very early in prenatal life. The researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) say that investigating the fetal signaling pathways active in this biological event may offer future opportunities to treat lung damage caused by prematurity and other lung injuries. The research team focused on the basic function of respiration—the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within key cells, called alveolar type 1 and type 2 cells. The same research team previously... Read more →
