By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor Boy, I sure do love cowboy music. Now I don’t mean stuff like “Grandma Tied Me Up With Her Scarf So I Can’t Go To My Sweetie’s House Tonight.” Nope. Well, to be completely honest, there is a place for that, too. But to achieve the right mood for that kinda music, you must first 1. Prepare your taste buds with a couple of jiggers of Old Overcoat, 2. Write home and lie about how much money you make. And of course 3. Borrow your buddy’s shooting ear muffs and try them out to see that he wasn’t cheated by buying them. No, I mean cowboy music. Roy Rogers, Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry, Steve Cormier and a bunch more. These are the true songs of the campfires under starry skies.

Bills sponsored by Assembly Democrats address gaps in domestic violence laws and public awareness (TRENTON) – The New Jersey General Assembly today advanced several bills designed to protect victims of domestic violence, while also raising awareness in communities. “These bills are another way to support domestic violence victims, whether it's helping them regain control of their phones—an essential communication tool often manipulated by abusers— or making sure that individuals who violate final restraining orders face real consequences,” said Assemblywoman Ellen Park (D-Bergen), Chair of the Assembly Judiciary Committee, which advanced these bills earlier this month. “Legislation like this is crucial because it reassures the individuals that have experienced domestic violence that they are not alone, and that there is help and compassion within reach.” The latest reports from 2020 reveal a 6% increase in domestic violence offenses from the previous year, with over 63,000 cases reported. Domestic violence is not...
