OPINION: Champions Of The Poor Sink The Poor In NYC

February 15, 2019

 

Bill Donohue | CNBNews Contributor

Amazon was ready to provide jobs for 25,000 to 40,000 New Yorkers, bringing in an estimated $27 billion in tax revenue over 25 years. It was asking for $3 billion in government incentives, a figure that surely could have been negotiated to reflect a more realistic deal. But instead of working with Amazon, left-wing New York lawmakers and activists trashed the corporation, pushing it to relocate elsewhere.

Dear supporters, friends, and those interested in the Republican Party of Pennsylvania:

 

The Republican Party of Pennsylvania had an incredibly busy week getting out our message, growing our Party, and engaging with key connections to further our priorities.

Tuesday, for what I thought was possibly the best speech of his Presidency, I was so happy to see so many grassroots Republican organizations across Pennsylvania holding watch parties for President Trump’s 2019 State of the Union Address.

As I told the media this week:  I could not be more proud to support the President's agenda. Whether it’s his concern for keeping Americans safe, advocating for innocent life, or his strenuous defense of liberty and American interests, President Trump demonstrated why he should be re-elected.

Letters to the Ed: NEVER AGAIN

Friends, 

I’m writing today on the one year anniversary of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which cruelly claimed the lives of 17 innocent students and educators.

Much has happened since Parkland. Students became renowned activists and launched the March for Our Lives. Parents of children lost to gun violence became fierce advocates and some were elected to office for the first time. Gun safety was on the ballot in November 2018—and Americans voted dozens of legislators beholden to the gun lobby out of office.

OPINION: ARE TRUMP AND OBAMA ERAS INTERCHANGEABLE?

 

By Joe Sixpack | CNBNews Contributor

This will be the shortest commentary I ever made. I simply word-swapped every mention of ‘Trump’ with ‘Obama.’ Every other word is intact. Read for yourself to see if you think there might be a little bit of a double standard going on here and how a story like this one from would never have seen the light of day had it been about President Obama or Hillary Clinton and their Russia ties. (Uranium One, etc.) --Joe Sixpack

 

Washington (CNN) Former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe said he ordered an investigation into whether President Barack Obama obstructed justice as a way to preserve ongoing inquiries into Russian election meddling in case there was an effort to terminate them.

Guest Opinion: A VALENTINE FOR A CAREGIVER

By Peter Rosenberger 

Of the 43.5 million of those providing unpaid care to an adult or child in the last year, AARP shares that 60 percent are women.  Following a somewhat exhaustive search, no data seems to exist reflecting how the laundry and household chores are divided between men and women. Based upon calls to my show and conversations had with many male caregivers, however, a growing trend seems to show that while their wives struggle to care for an aging parent, many men seem to overlook the growing pile of laundry in the home—as well as other things.

Fight Against Superbugs Crucial to America’s Biodefense

 

How the U.S. is countering the national security threat posed by antibiotic-resistant bacteria

 

(CNBNewsnet)(February 13, 2019)--Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are not only a threat to public health in the United States, but also to national security. The federal government has recognized that antibiotic-resistant pathogens complicate soldiers’ wounds, exacerbate casualties associated with both natural and manmade emergencies, and can be weaponized by our nation’s enemies. Consequently, the first U.S. National Biodefense Strategy, released last year, highlights the need to reduce the emergence and spread of such superbugs both domestically and internationally, and accelerate the development of new drugs, diagnostic tests, and vaccines.

Battle of Gloucester

Tuesday, November 25, 1952 was the 175^th anniversary of the Battle, and sometimes referred to as the skirmish at Gloucester.

Here are some of the events that led up to that engagement. On July 4, 1776, besides the action of the Continental Congress which we, as a nation celebrate, occurred another historic event. Six hundred pounds of Pennsylvania currency was ordered paid to Margaret M. Paul, widow of John Paul, and Benjamin Weatherby one of her sons, for 96 acres at Billingsport. The deed, dated July 5, 1776, is on record in the Gloucester County Court House, Woodbury, conveying the land to George Clymer and Michael Hillegas, treasurers of the Thirteen United Colonies.

Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital T2 Associates Receive DAISY Team Award for 2018

 

The Department of Nursing staff at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital’s Tower 2 (T2) medical-surgical unit was recently honored with The DAISY Team Award for 2018 for extraordinary, compassionate and skillful care.

Part of an international program, The DAISY Team Award honors collaboration among two or more nurse-led associates who identify and meet patient and/or patient family needs by going “above and beyond” the traditional role of Nursing.

“We are proud to participate in the National DAISY Award program,” said Jefferson Health’s New Jersey Chief Nurse Executive Helene Burns, DNP, RN, NEA-BC. “Our Nursing team members’ work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides an ideal forum for us to convey that.”

Nurses are nominated for individual DAISY Awards throughout the year by current and past patients (or their family members), physicians, nurses, or other Jefferson Health personnel for demonstrating excellence through clinical expertise, extraordinary compassionate care, and a high-level of professionalism. Winners are selected following a review of nominations by the Jefferson (NJ) Clinical Recognition Committee.

The nonprofit DAISY Foundation was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died in late 1999 from complications of an auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique way of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patients’ families.

Comply with the Law and Hire a Trash Removal Company

(February 13, 2019)--New Jersey has strict laws regarding proper waste segregation. You need to throw your garbage away in the right place. You also need to remove the items that are for recycling. You might get fined if you throw them away. Whether you live in your own house or you are renting another person’s place, you need to comply with these laws.

 

Label the trash

 

You can start by labeling the trash bins at home. You need to inform your guests to comply with the rules. You can even set penalties at home for those who violate the use of the labels. It is also easy to remind everyone about this rule if you have labels. If they are not enough, you can put reminders and notes in key places around the house.

 

Be diligent in segregating waste

Joey the Senior Cat Triumphs Over Illness with Help from Friends

View Penn Vet Extra - February 2019

By: Sacha AdornoPublished: Feb 4, 2019

Considered a “senior cat,” Joey is at a time in his life when clinicians recommend wellness visits twice a year.

   

For most of his life, Joey was a happy, healthy cat—never sick and always in charge. With nary a sniffle, the scrappy domestic short hair has lived with his owner Amanda Arrowood since he was found as a kitten in West Philadelphia. But, at the age of 13, Joey started losing weight and suffering from chronic diarrhea.

“When he first got sick, I tried medication for worms, which didn’t help,” said Arrowood, an ICU nurse at Penn Vet’s Ryan Hospital. Joey also saw his regular veterinarian, who couldn’t pinpoint the problem or a solution despite efforts with diet and medication.
