Anti-gun Democrats in Trenton have wasted no time getting back to politics, again ignoring real issues faced by the citizens of New Jersey. The Assembly Judiciary Committee has posted several gun control bills for a hearing Thursday, February 20. This is an important election year in New Jersey. The last couple of elections in New Jersey caught the country by surprise with results much closer than anticipated. Ignoring the tea leaves of recent elections, anti-gunners are doubling down on the same exhausted issues. New Jersey residents are not just angry, they are furious over soaring property taxes, the cost of living and a whole host of issues that hit closer to home than concerns over 3D-printed firearms. Yet again, we are being led to believe that New Jersey’s gun laws still aren’t tough enough despite the annual fixation on them. Thursday’s hearing will feature obscure, hyper-technical and redundant proposals that... Read more →

By Robbie Schneider Social Media Manager FRANCISCAN HEALTH Every breath we take is often taken for granted. But for the 3.8 million Americans living with emphysema, each shortened breath, cough and wheeze is a reminder of this devastating lung disease. End-stage emphysema, or stage 4 emphysema, can mean living with a decade or more of breathing problems, tiredness, heart problems or other health concerns that impact your ability to live your life to your fullest. Because emphysema, like other forms of COPD, reduces the amount of oxygen that can reach your bloodstream, the heart works harder to spread oxygen throughout the body. A person with severe emphysema may get tired easily, may have chest pains or palpitations, or experience headaches, sleep problems, and irritability. “There is no cure for emphysema or COPD, but our goal is to help slow the progression of the disease,” said Faisal Khan, MD, a Greenwood...

Despite being unprepared, Democrats running the New Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee advanced a package of gun bills Thursday, February 20, 2025. The hearing started an hour and a half late as they fumbled with amendments to “fix” the bills. There was legislation impacting the Attorney General and law enforcement, but committee members admitted they consulted neither. Second Amendment groups? They did not bother to talk to them either. These anti-gun politicians were not looking for input, and it showed. Please use the Take Action button below and ask your Assembly member for a NO vote on any gun control. This was an exercise in pure politics, and it was never about public safety. NRA State Director Darin Goens testified against the bills, pointing out that these bills are unnecessary and deeply flawed. Republican committee members Assemblyman Robert Auth (R-39) and Assemblywoman Victoria Flynn (R-13) did a terrific job questioning the... Read more →

The United States has spent 200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn't Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us— We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is "MISSING." He refuses to... Read more →
