MOORESTOWN N.J. – This morning, another headline shows that First Lady Tammy Murphy’s campaign continues to be powered by those seeking to use campaign funds to stay in favor with the NJ State Government, especially as the budget process kicks off. The story in today’s Star Ledger (below) shows hundreds of thousands of dollars have poured into Murphy’s campaign account by “contractors and lobbyists with business at the Statehouse.” This is in contrast to Kim’s campaign, which as of the last filing, consisted of 92% of donations received being $100 or less, with $0 coming from the support of corporate PACs. “These campaigns are not the same when it comes to who truly fuels them,” said spokesperson Katey Sabo. “Andy Kim has galvanized tens of thousands of grassroots donors and has been at the forefront of combating corruption and big money in our politics in Congress.

Posted on - 12/6/2023 TRENTON (December 18, 2023)(CNBNews)— Hundreds of law enforcement officers across New Jersey attended a private police training conference that taught unconstitutional policing tactics, glorified violence, denigrated women and minorities, and likely violated a myriad of state laws and policies, the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) found. Billing itself as one of the country’s largest private police training companies, the New Jersey-based Street Cop held a six-day training conference in Atlantic City in October 2021. Nearly 1,000 police officers attended, some 240 from New Jersey, the majority paying with public funds, according to OSC’s investigation released today.

New Jersey faces lawsuit over medical aid in dying requirements By Christian Wade | The Center Square contributor (The Center Square) — Andrea Sealy was diagnosed with stage-four metastatic breast cancer more than six years ago and has undergone multiple surgeries and rounds of chemotherapy as the disease spread to her hip and spine. If her prognosis worsens, Sealy wants the option to end her life under the care of a physician through New Jersey's medical aid in dying law for the terminally ill.

Sealy is one of several plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit against New Jersey arguing that the state's residency requirements for medical aid in dying patients are unconstitutional by preventing her from accessing physicians in the state who are willing to...

(NAPSI)—In each step of their lifecycle, vape products can harm our environment with three forms of toxic pollution: plastic waste, hazardous waste, and electronic waste (e-waste). Step 1: Production From the very beginning of production, vapes are devastating for the environment. Sourcing raw materials for these products is highly resource intensive, requiring not just plastics, but heavy metals, lithium-ion for batteries, and nicotine from tobacco plants. Mining lithium for vape batteries is a major source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, requires the use of chemicals and immense amounts of water, and leaves toxic waste in its wake. Plus, the nicotine used in these products comes from tobacco plants, a destructive crop that causes mass deforestation, soil contamination, and water depletion. Step 2: A Polluting Sales Model The majority of vapes are designed for single or short-term use. This sales model ensures that consumers constantly need to purchase new products or... Read more →

Cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency that has special technology that makes it almost impossible to counterfeit. Many types are based on blockchain technology, and a network of computers enforces it. It is attractive to many because no central authority issues it. There are a few things you should know before deciding whether or not it is for you. Ensure You Have Enough Funds Set Aside While cryptocurrency can be an attractive investment, it can also be volatile, so you will want to make sure you are not putting all your money into this investment. Consider limiting the amount you put into crypto and make sure you have an emergency fund set aside so you aren’t tying up all your money by investing it. You may consider ways of reducing your monthly expenses before investing as well. This can free up more funds to put in your investments. One... Read more →

Every U.S. state has legislation on the use of marijuana. More than two-thirds of the United States, including the District of Columbia, actually legalized marijuana for medical use. Others are considering bills to legalize it for medical use, as well. If you live in New Jersey, you no longer need to live in fear of getting arrested for possessing amounts of marijuana for personal use. In a way, the Garden State is getting a bit greener, especially for people with qualifying medical conditions under the New Jersey medical marijuana program. Legalization in this densely populated state will probably encourage other states on the East Coast of the U.S., such as Pennsylvania and New York, to follow suit. This, in turn, may pressure Congress to end the war on marijuana. That said, as a New Jersey resident, it is still illegal for you to grow your own marijuana at home in... Read more →

MURPHY: NURSING HOMES SHOULD PAY PRICE FOR COVID On CBS, Gov. Phil Murphy spoke about concerns over his administration's work to slow or stop the spread of COVID-19 in nursing homes. Some blame sits with the facilities who failed to follow the health department's "explicit, black-and-white" instructions, Murphy said. While it's true that the state's policy asked long-term care facilities to not turn away COVID-positive residents, Murphy said the state told the facilities the residents must live in "their own wing, their own building" — and if that wasn't possible, operators were told to "come to us and we'll find another alternative." Still, some facilities "did not take our advice," Murphy said, and "they deserve to pay a price for that."

Richard Dawkins, the noted evolutionary biologist, coined the term memes way back in 1976 to describe how ideas are replicated and, in the process, mutate and evolve to carry forward and engage the target audience. It has been observed that memes, over time, can take a life of their own as different groups adapt memes to carry forward their ideas. The potential of memes to create engagement and communicate a central message to develop a sense of belonging has been acknowledged by brands. Today, many of the world’s top brands are using memes to engage their audiences, for developing brand loyalty, and to tap new markets. Some of the most compelling reasons why brands use memes in their content marketing: Increases Engagement Memes are intrinsically funny and help people to bond through humor. Because often the humor in a meme is oblique, only people in the know will get it... Read more →
