Rarely has our nation seen a judge more competent and qualified to serve on the Supreme Court than Amy Coney Barrett. During her confirmation hearing, she held me in thrall with the magnificence of her mind. Only once before has anyone inspired the thought, "Greatness walks amongst us." His name is Trey Gowdy. In Amy Coney Barrett, I feel the same awe and chills once again. With Amy's confirmation, Lady Justice will no longer peek from underneath her blindfold. No longer will there be a finger surreptitiously pushing down on one side of her Scales of Justice. When Barrett's Senate...

TRENTON, New Jersey -- With another nearly 1,000 new coronavirus cases reported Thursday in New Jersey, state officials are discouraging large indoor holiday gatherings, including Thanksgiving dinner. For many, it'll be a very different kind of holiday season. Sandy Kramer, of Mount Laurel, typically hosts 15 to 18 people at her Thanksgiving table. "I do the turkey and the stuffing. My daughter does the rest," said Kramer. But this year's crowd will be much smaller - just a few people. "We always have a good time. But maybe next year," she said.

Anthony Ribeiro, a 17-year-old student at Toms River North High School said the teacher saw the banner and told him to remove it before class. “He said, 'Anthony take the sign down right now' and I looked up, seeing class hasn't started yet,” the teen told NBC New York. “I was on my phone. I looked up at him and kind of just looked back down like I...

New Jersey officials have not detected any coronavirus outbreaks linked to President Trump’s fundraiser at his Bedminster golf club earlier this month, the state’s governor said. Speaking to reporters Tuesday at a press conference alongside Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ), Gov. Phil Murphy said, “We’re not aware of any outbreaks” before calling the federal response to the pandemic “extremely disappointing.”

The parade will kick off at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday and make its way through Flemington, Princeton, Hillsborough, and Bridgewater before ending at Trump's Golf Club in Bedminster. The ride will take about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

We had A Trump rally today in our little town of Belvidere, N.J. in Warren county. It was held on our town green in front of the Warren County courthouse. We had 400-500 in attendance which is A good turnout for our small town. I was happy to see A good number of young people there which could be A good sign for our future. (I found it amazing that we had that many show up and there was no rioting. Nothing was burned down and the court house is still standing.) The last part was sarcasm

Could North Texas be getting some of Nasdaq’s systems? Gov. Greg Abbott said Tuesday that the Lone Star State could be in the mix. “I've been talking with the Nasdaq stock exchange about moving some of their operations to Texas,” Abbott said in the message on Twitter. “They want to flee high taxes. I let them know that we just passed a constitutional amendment banning an income tax in Texas.”

This is the first time in my life I have lived in a place where the polls are not open on election day. Thanks to the diktat of Obergruppenführer Murphy here in New Jersey, we are being forced to "vote by mail" in this election. My wife and I did just that today. Only, we didn't put our ballots in the mail. I wanted to share with you all what we did instead, and what the procedure is. After voting my ballot, putting it in the yellow envelope, signing, sealing, etc., we took our ballots directly to the Camden County...

Some residents of the town live within the state's fifth congressional district, while others are in the ninth.

In another tweet later on Saturday, Mr. Christie said he had checked himself in to the Morristown Medical Center in Morristown, N.J., on Saturday afternoon after consulting with his doctors. “While I am feeling good and only have mild symptoms, due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure,” he said. ...Mr. Christie and Mr. Stepien were among several advisers who huddled with Mr. Trump and others for debate preparation from Sunday to Tuesday.

The professional coronavirus hysterics in the media are naturally having vapors about President Trump and the first lady having been infected, because this is what happens when you don't wear masks! Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Chris Christie, who was part of Trump's debate preparation team, was asked Friday on ABC's Good Morning America by a reprimanding anchor if he or anyone else who had been coaching the president wore masks. Christie said no, so ah-ha! Told you so! Well, no, Christie said the debate team was made up of, at most, six people, all of whom, according to the...

Some New Jersey residents have received ballots meant for people who have moved out of the state and for deceased voters, but some election officials say they're confident that anti-fraud measures will take care of it, according to local reports. Under federal law, anyone convicted of attempting to vote more than once could face up to 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The issue arose due to a combination of factors, including the state’s distribution of unsolicited ballots and an effort to protect residents from wrongfully being purged from the voter rolls, NJ.com reported.

A New Jersey man’s body was pulled from 1,565 feet underwater after he drowned in Lake Tahoe, Nevada — the deepest known recovery in US history, authorities said. The remains of 29-year-old Ryan Normoyle were recovered Monday from the lake, which is the second-deepest in the nation, according to the South Lake Tahoe Police Department. Police said Normoyle drowned last month after he recorded himself jumping off his rented boat then was unable to swim fast enough to catch up with the vessel, which he left in gear.
