(Camden City, NJ) – As the SNAP federal emergency allotment from COVID-19 is set to expire on March 1, households may see a change in monthly benefit amounts. During the COVID-19 pandemic, households received higher allotments for SNAP but on March 1, households will begin receiving their regular payments. Seeing that families and individuals continue to face difficulty affording food, Gov. Phil Murphy signed legislation in June 2022 to establish the State SNAP Minimum Benefit Program that ensured that SNAP recipients receive at least $50 per month in assistance when the federal emergency allotments end. New Jersey is the first state to set a minimum benefit, which required an $18 million investment of state funds. “These payments were and continue to be a lifeline for many New Jersey residents and families as the pandemic greatly impacted finances across the board,” said Commissioner Virginia Betteridge, liaison to the Camden County Board...

If men had periods…they would get a paid vacation. And if men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t see Congress trying to pass laws restricting abortion.” image courses of Minnesota Citizens Concern for Life How does Mayor Adams know that men can’t have periods? Many of those who share his politics don’t agree.

Ignored Important Angles By Marc Ang The mainstream media once again displayed its glaring bias after the horrific Lunar New Year murders in Monterey Park. But sloppy journalism and loss of relationships with facts added to the embarrassment for them and left-wing politicians. While Chinese New Year was supposed to be a happy time, it turned into a bloodbath at a dance studio when a mass murderer, now revealed to also be of Asian descent, opened fire, killed 11 and wounded about ten more in Monterey Park. The perpetrator left in a white van to attempt to do the same at another dance studio in the neighboring city Alhambra. Fortunately, he was thwarted by a 26-year-old hero who had enough gun training to prevent an encore of what just happened in Monterey Park. The mainstream media will never cover some underplayed takeaways I want to explore that include the following:...

Look for a preparer who is available year-round. 2. Ask your tax preparer for their IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). All paid preparers are required to have one. Don’t use a ghost preparer. They won’t sign a tax return they prepare for you. 4. Don’t fall victim to tax preparers’ promises of large refunds. If it’s too good to be true, it probably...

The article from the Courier Post, was dated June 8, 2020. In that article a man from Camden City, Isaiah Conteh, said "It shows this town is changing." Gloucester City's own Joe Gorman added "Gloucester is thriving because it is more welcoming and supporting of people who in the past may have been viewed as outsiders, blacks, Hispanics, LGBT and artists." by DOROTHY PHILBIN CNBNews Reporter That was a comment that made me say "WHAT?"

Imagine a 196-ton, cancer-killing device that can target a patient's tumor with a sub-millimeter precision while sparing nearby healthy tissues and minimizing side effects.
