MONROE, Mich. – A Campbell’s employee is suing the company because he said he was wrongfully terminated after he complained about an upper-level executive’s explosive tirade on the product and its customers. “He has no filter,” said Robert Garza, of Monroe, about his former supervisor at Campbell Soup Company and current Vice President Martin Bally. “He thinks he’s a C-level executive at a Fortune 500 company and he can do whatever he wants because he’s an executive.” Garza said he recorded an hour-long rant by the top Campbell Soup Company executive because he said he trusted his “instinct that something...

The Campbell’s Co. said Wednesday it has fired an executive who was recorded making racist comments and mocking the company’s products and customers. Martin Bally, a vice president in Campbell’s information security department, was named in a lawsuit filed last week by Robert Garza, a former Campbell’s employee who said he was fired Jan. 30 after he reported Bally’s comments to a supervisor. The lawsuit was filed in Michigan, where both Garza and Bally live. Campbell’s is based in Camden, New Jersey. In the lawsuit, Garza claimed he met with Bally in November 2024 to discuss his salary. During the...

A Korean spa in New Jersey has been ordered to implement “gender identity-friendly” policies and educate staff on “non-discrimination” after being sued for refusing to allow a male into the women’s nude section. The man, Alexandra “Allie” Goebert, first launched the discrimination suit against King Spa in 2022. King Spa is a wellness facility modeling itself after a jimjilbang, a traditional Korean health center which requires nudity in some areas. For that reason, the nude areas of the spa had been strictly sex-segregated. As previously reported by Reduxx, the incident involving Goebert first occurred in August of 2022 when he...

A New Jersey man whose sentence was commuted by President Trump during the tail-end of his first term was imprisoned again on Friday for his third fraud conviction. Eliyahu “Eli” Weinstein, a 51-year-old man who has also used the alias Mike Konig, was handed down a 37-year sentence in Trenton, NJ on Friday. Prosecutors estimated he milked approximately $35 million from the woefully misguided investors, who Weinstein promised access to deals involving dwindling medical supplies, baby formula and first-aid kits intended to be sent to Ukraine, according to his most recent indictment. The con artist’s prior two convictions, for which...

Congresswoman LaMonica McIver must face at least two of three federal charges accusing her of assaulting and impeding immigration officers outside a New Jersey detention center after federal judge on Thursday rejected her attempt to dismiss the case.

The government alleges McIver intervened as federal agents attempted to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper turned down...

A new analysis finds that the states of New York and New Jersey have lost billions of dollars from their tax base amid an exodus of residents in recent years. Unleash Prosperity released a report on Tuesday that found New York lost $517.5 billion in resident incomes from 2013 to 2022, while New Jersey lost $170.1 billion in that period, according to data from the Census Bureau and IRS. The report covers cumulative gains and losses in each state's resident income, as a mover takes their income to another state for subsequent years – not just the first year after...

Princeton University is launching a new anthropology course on "Gender, Reproduction, and Genocide" in Gaza, a class whose description puts the Israel-Hamas war on par with the Holocaust. The for-credit, graded course is being taught by a "noted Palestinian feminist" who has made provably false claims that Hamas did not kill babies or rape women on Oct. 7, and also called for an end to the Jewish state. "Drawing on decolonial, Indigenous, and feminist thought, we examine how genocidal projects target reproductive life, sexual and familial structures, and community survival," the course description reads. "Students will engage reproductive justice frameworks,...

Milo Sedarat, a privileged teen from affluent Montclair, New Jersey, was arrested at the $1.2 million home of his parents Tuesday morning after espousing grotesque fantasies about murdering Jews, including calling for “mass executions” and boasting… Via direct messages and social media, Sedarat, 19, and another unidentified man traded sickening antisemitic chats, according to the complaint. “I can’t wait for the day I get to execute like 10 yahood,” he said, using what investigators say is an Arabic term for Jewish people.

For an off-year election, Tuesday's contests seem to have an awful lot of consequence. We've had our eyes on several races nationwide, and it all comes down to Election Day. It feels like a long time waiting for this moment, but we're here. Of course, certain key contests are dominating the headlines. Two big races are happening in Virginia. For some reason, the latest polls show Democrat Abigail Spanberger with a lead of anywhere from seven to 15 points in her race against Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. This is happening despite abject racism against Earle-Sears and the proven success that...

Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a staunch advocate for unrestricted abortion, won New Jersey’s gubernatorial race Tuesday night, defeating Republican Jack Ciattarelli in a contest that pro-life leaders decried as a setback for vulnerable unborn children. With nearly all votes counted, Sherrill captured 53% of the vote to Ciattarelli’s 46%, according to projections. The victory extends Democratic control of the governor’s mansion for a third consecutive term — the first such streak for the party in New Jersey since 1961 — and positions Sherrill, a former Navy helicopter pilot and federal prosecutor, to succeed pro-abortion Gov. Phil Murphy in January. Sherrill’s...

A former Navy pilot, first elected to Congress in 2018, will be New Jersey's next governor. Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill defeated former Republican Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli, according to a race call by The Associated Press, capping a closely-watched gubernatorial election that some polls predicted would be a coin flip. Sherrill's victory marks the first time since the 1960s that New Jersey voters have elected a governor from the same party three terms in a row. Her victory is also the second major win for Democrats on Tuesday, following Abigail Spanberger's win for Virginia governor. The race was also one of...

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed an effort by New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to connect Election Day bomb threats in New Jersey to president Donald Trump. New Jersey officials say there is "no credible threat" after briefly closing several polling places due to an emailed bomb threat. "I saw those comments from Mamdani, and I think there are completely irresponsible and they are based on zero evidence. I think this is just another example of how the Democrat Party unfortunately stands for nothing. All they stand against in President Donald Trump," Leavitt told reporters. "I think...

A bomb threat hoax on Tuesday failed to halt voting at a city polling site, while reports of similar incidents happened around New Jersey. Law enforcement officers visited Hedgepeth-Williams Elementary School in the 300 block of Gladstone Ave. at around 5 a.m. According to a statement, patrol units immediately responded, and a search of the building was conducted by both patrol officers and K-9 units from both Trenton Police and the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office. No active threat was discovered on the school premises. All voting operations at Hedgepeth Williams Elementary School and all other voting locations throughout the City...

We are tracking who is casting ballots ahead of Election Day for the mayor’s race in New York City and governors’ races in New Jersey and Virginia. Here, we are comparing voters who have cast ballots so far with the makeup of the early and overall electorate in the 2024 presidential election. One of the most closely watched metrics in New York this year is age. Since the city’s mayoral elections are held in off years (without a presidential election on the ballot), the electorate tends to be much smaller. And it skews older than in presidential elections, since older...
