Peyton Cleary as a puppy Your dog or cat is sick, and you head to the animal hospital. The veterinarian prescribes medications that you hope will make your pet better. But with pets, as with people, medication errors can happen. Just as the Food and Drug Administration monitors medication errors that affect people, the agency watches out for mistakes that may harm animals. According to Linda Kim-Jung, PharmD, a safety reviewer in the Center for Veterinary Medicine’s (CVM's) Division of Veterinary Product Safety, "A number of the medication errors that occur in the treatment of people are the same as those we are seeing in the treatment of animals."

Poor Forecasting By the Murphy Administration Again Republican Solution Would Use Money from the Feds to Help Save Jobs and Businesses Senator Steve Oroho blamed faulty forecasting by the Murphy Administration for an enormous business payroll tax increase set to take effect on October 30 to put money into the Unemployment Insurance Fund, which the Administration projected to be almost a billion dollars in the red by the end of June of this year. In reality, the fund held more than $51 million on June 30, according to government documents; a billion dollar miss. “After the Murphy Administration so poorly forecasted last year’s revenues which led them to borrow billions of dollars that proved to be completely unnecessary, they woefully forecasted the June 30 unemployment insurance trust fund balance. The unemployment insurance tax increase was not announced until Friday, August 13. There was plenty of time for the administration to... Read more →

October 29, 2021 Bill Donohue | CNBNews Contributor Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the conversation between the pope and the president: After Pope Francis and President Biden met today, President Biden said that the pope called him a "good Catholic" and that he should "keep receiving communion." The Vatican has not confirmed the veracity of Biden's account. Like everyone else, we at the Catholic League have no way of knowing whether Biden's remarks are accurate. But from what we know about the Vatican's handling of the meeting, and Biden's long record of lying about many important matters, we are maintaining a healthy skepticism about the president's rendition. It is certainly in Biden's interest to have everyone think that the pope encouraged him to keep receiving communion. This issue matters because it has troubled many American bishops; they will meet in a few weeks to discuss it. Biden's lust... Read more →

NORTHFIELD – In response to the announcement that the Atlantic City School Board hired Mayor Marty Small’s wife as the city’s school superintendent at a salary of $210,000 per year, Republican Assembly Candidates Don Guardian and Claire Swift today announced that once elected they would introduce legislation to cap local government salaries so they could not exceed that of the Governor. “I question how the school board can pay one of its employees such an exorbitant salary while the city is still under state supervision and management,” said Don Guardian. “Taxpayers are concerned about the increases in school funding being used for increased administrative salaries; the money needs to be better invested to increase graduation rates and keep students engaged in learning.” “We can’t continue to watch Atlantic City make the same bad decisions over and over again while the state takeover continues,” said Claire Swift. “It’s bad enough that...

Vatican Stiffs Biden Bill Donohue | CNBNews Contributor October 28, 2021 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on tomorrow's meeting between the pope and the president: Yesterday, I issued a statement saying the White House is out to milk the meeting between Pope Francis and President Biden. They need to. Biden is in trouble with the bishops at home—he adamantly rejects core Catholic moral teachings—and his administration was banking on posting pictures of the two men grinning and shaking hands. But now the Vatican has thrown a monkey wrench into this opportunistic gambit. The media have been mostly barred from covering the meeting. The Vatican has said that there will be no live coverage of Biden greeting the pope. Nor will the media be allowed to cover the two men sitting down as they begin their conversation. In other words, the optics that the White House was counting on are... Read more →

Extreme Couponing: Criminal Edition The first time the Coupon Information Corporation (CIC) called Postal Inspector Jason Thomasson with a tip about a Virginia Beach resident who they believed was making and mailing counterfeit coupons, the center didn’t yet have a sense of the fraud’s scale. Without a loss amount, Thomasson didn’t think he could gather support for an investigation. A few months later, the CIC, an association of manufacturers that tracks coupon fraud, called back to say they had linked over $125,000 in fakes to the suspected counterfeiter. At that point, Thomasson started asking around the FBI’s Norfolk Office, where he works as a task force officer, for a partner on the investigation. Special Agent Shannon Brill was intrigued. “It was a different type of case,” she said. The pair went to work. And last month, that counterfeit coupon maker was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison and... Read more →
