April 29, 2021, TRENTON - New Jersey still does not have a plan to reopen. Meanwhile, yesterday Governor Cuomo announced people can get served at bars in New York City beginning Monday and that outdoor and indoor dining curfews for bars and restaurants in the city will both be lifted by the end of May. Disappointingly, this week Governor Murphy only announced that indoor room capacities would increase to 50 percent for certain venues such as weddings, school proms, political events, funerals and performances starting on May 10. New Jersey’s indoor dining is still capped at 50% and bar sitting is prohibited. "New Jersey needs to jump on the New York bandwagon and reopen now. Our bars and restaurants continue to struggle and now New Jersey residents can travel to Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New York to enjoy extended openings. The Governor has continually said that data will determine outcomes. Hospitalizations... Read more →

...to Demand Murphy Gives up Emergency Powers Second Legislative District GOP challengers say Democrats begging for scraps from Gov. Murphy is not the bold leadership that Atlantic County deserves Northfield, April 30, 2021 – Republicans Vince Polistina, Don Guardian and Claire Swift today challenged their Democratic counterparts in the 2nd Legislative District to stop “begging for scraps” from Governor Murphy and instead demand that the Governor relinquish his emergency powers and stop running the state via seemingly arbitrary and endless executive orders. The Republicans said that if Governor Murphy doesn’t voluntarily give up his emergency powers, Assemblymen Mazzeo and Armato and the Democratic majority in the legislature should vote to strip Murphy of the powers, just like Democrats did in New York State with Andrew Cuomo. “We all know how important conventions and trade shows are to Atlantic City, but organizing a press stunt to meekly ask the Governor to...

There are four stop signs, one after the other on Cold Springs Drive heading south. The arrow points to one in the distance. They appeared without any notice from the police or the school district at the beginning of April. (photo credit CNBNews) I live on the unit block of East Thompson Avenue, and since April 7th my parents and other neighborhood residents have noticed a group of stop signs near Cold Springs School/Cold Springs Drive. These stop signs have been annoying them and I can understand why. The stop signs are definitely a good idea for safety purposes, and to try and slow down the traffic near Cold Springs School. The minor issue I have with this is that from what I know, none of the residents throughout the City were warned about the traffic signs, and this can also lead to them being driven past without a second...

Bill Donohue | CNBNews Contributor Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented on President Biden’s speech Wednesday night: In his address to the Congress, President Biden spoke to many of his constituents, mostly in the way of promising an expansion of existing government programs or starting new ones. He did not address the concerns of religious Americans. Over the past year, the faithful have had their religious rights abridged, if not eviscerated, by Covid restrictions. There were several court battles, reaching to the U.S. Supreme Court. Biden said nothing about these First Amendment restrictions. Nor did he mention the words “religion” or “religious liberty” in his speech. The president did, however, speak to the rights of men who think they are women and women who think they are men. “To all transgender Americans watching at home—especially the young people who are so brave—I want you to know that your president has...

Samuel Stebbins, 24/7 Wall St. via The Center Square Apr 22, 2021 The U.S. Constitution does not guarantee the right to an education. Though the federal government has set some academic standards, education policy is set largely at the state and local levels.

NRA-ILA On April 20th, The Reload published what appears to be a leaked draft of an ATF proposed rule. The leaked document purports to be a proposed rule to change the regulatory definition of frame or receiver and alter federal marking requirements for firearms. The rule, if implemented, would completely upend the firearm industry by changing what parts must legally be considered a “firearm” under federal law. The name of the proposed rule and the regulatory identifier number match a rule that was transmitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs last week, so there is reason to believe it is authentic. However, this draft may not reflect the final version that will actually be published in the federal register. The draft rule primarily adds and alters definitions that are used to implement federal firearms laws. The new definitions make it possible for firearms to have more than one... Read more →

Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced that a 44-year-old Staten Island man was sentenced today to three years in New Jersey state prison for trying to arrange a sexual encounter with someone he met online and believed was a 14-year-old girl. John Emilio pled guilty in January to Attempted Endangering the Welfare of Children (Impairing or Debauching the Morals of a Child – Third Degree). The sentence was handed down in Superior Court in Mount Holly by the Hon. Philip E. Haines, J.S.C., who ordered that Emilio be placed on the New Jersey sex offender registry upon release and also be under parole supervision for life. “This defendant’s calculated, predatory behavior presented a very real and very dangerous threat to the vulnerable population he was targeting online,” Prosecutor Coffina said. “We are thankful that there was no actual victim, but this case underscores the risks to children from online communication,...

Focus NJ today released a review of New Jersey’s economy for 2020, detailing record-high unemployment rates and unemployment claims, as well as a historic contraction in the state’s Gross Domestic Product, followed by a quick rebound. The first annual report, which will be followed by quarterly reviews from Focus NJ, also analyzed the devastation of New Jersey small businesses, with more than 3 in 10 of them closing temporarily or permanently. “The unprecedented non-essential business closures and stay-at-home orders from mid-March to mid-June of 2020, followed by continued operational restrictions, were really a one-two punch that the state’s small businesses were never able to truly recover from throughout the calendar year,” said Focus NJ Executive Director Nicole Sandelier. “The unemployment data from 2020 also shows a disproportional impact on Black and Hispanic workers. At the same time, overall personal income saw an unusual increase, despite high unemployment, thanks to state... Read more →

Today, a grand jury in Texas indicted Zephaniah Trevino for murder. Zephaniah, known as “Zephi” to her friends and family, was just 16 years old when her sex trafficker, Philip Baldenegro, shot a man with whom she was being forced to perform sex acts. “Even though we availed ourselves of the opportunity to submit a limited presentation to the grand jury on Zephi’s behalf, the grand jury process is prosecutor-friendly in that prosecutors control what grand jurors see and hear,” said Justin Moore, Zephi’s attorney. “Because of this being the case, it is not shocking that Zephi was indicted today. The District Attorney’s office has pursued prosecuting this child victim in an oddly aggressive fashion, and this is a further indication of such.” Moore also expressed concern over the DA’s sudden change of mind when determining the charges against Zephi. “Why the change to murder from capital murder, when Zephi...
