As of Wednesday, cashiers at the store will no longer be bagging bottles for them, though they might supply empty boxes when available. All New Jersey retail, grocery, and pharmacy stores, along with restaurants and other food service businesses, are banned from giving out single-use plastic bags, as well as foam containers, though there are some exceptions. What about switching to paper bags? Supermarkets can no longer provide those either. “We have long-term customers that still probably don’t know there is going to a be a bag ban,” Millington said. “So we’re trying to educate everybody as they come in....

The New Jersey Freedom Convoy is making its way through the Garden State, from Bergen County to Salem County and everywhere in between. The hope behind the people coordinating the convoy is to bring New Jersey residents together and in their words -- get back our freedoms and protect future generations. “Our message is just freedom,” says Jackie Thomas, co-coordinator of NJ Freedom Convoy.

Republican senators are unmoved by Tucker Carlson’s relentless warpath against support for Ukraine — even as it widens an existing rift in their party. The Fox News prime time host and others on the far-right have excused and even rationalized Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine and downplayed its relevance to U.S. national security. And while GOP senators are shrugging off his name-and-shame campaign, Carlson’s views are permeating the GOP base in a way that could undermine Republicans’ efforts to emphasize cross-party unity as they seek to deter a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

A New Jersey house has been hit by cars two weekends in a row — starting just hours after its new first-time owners bought it, according to authorities and an online fundraiser.

TRENTON, NJ – Trenton liberal Democrats have completely lost their minds. First, let’s start with the left not even liking Christmas and wanting to cancel the entire deal. But, now since it can be used to push the vaccine agenda of the Murphy administration, the NJ DOH is paying, with taxpayer money to produce and run commercials of a boy with asking Santa for the COVID-19 vaccine instead of games and toys. “Dear Santa, I don’t want games. I don’t want toys. Just get me the COVID-19 vaccine,” the boy says. Many New Jerseyeans expressed their shock at the disturbing...

With COVID-19 cases once again soaring in New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy said the state could soon face new restrictions in response to a deadly pandemic that is once more growing. “My fear is we’re going to be getting back to capacity limits at some point,” Murphy said during an unrelated press event at Port Newark on Friday, where he warned “this thing is still with us and sadly, the numbers are still going up.”

You just won re-election, Gov. Phil Murphy. What are you going to do now? Go to Disney World? His office won’t say. But the governor left New Jersey on Tuesday for a Thanksgiving trip to Orlando, Florida, where he will spend three nights. This year’s out-of-state holiday weekend trip comes after Murphy rarely left New Jersey since the state recorded its first COVID-19 case in early March 2020. The first time he left for consecutive days to be with his family was in August, when he joined them for a family vacation in Italy where he owns a home.

CNN also trusts Christie. They had him on today where he made the following claim: Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told some of the Republican Party’s most influential donors and bundlers Saturday that the only way for the party to continue building on last Tuesday’s electoral successes is to move beyond former President Donald Trump’s fixation with the 2020 election results — while showing voters they will listen and fight for them with a message “that doesn’t hurt their ears.” In the entire article from CNN, Christie never addresses the 2020 Election fraud that stole the election from President...

We beat him," Durr said on "Fox News Primetime" late Wednesday. "The state of New Jersey, the people of New Jersey beat him. They listened to what I had to say and I listened...

I went to my usual polling place yesterday and was given a REAL paper Ballot. I went to a table and marked it. Then I fed it into a machine which tallied it and saved the original ballot someplace within.I have long been suspicious of all voting machines. (I know if I had programmed any of them, Democrats would have seldom won anything.) But this new way of voting virtually eliminates the possibility of fraud. It is true that the tally machine could intentionally flip random R votes, or not count them. But if even only five percent of these...

"The New Jersey’s Governor’s race is hanging by a thread. And that thread is blue collar, where working class towns like Bloomfield, Bayonne, Wood-Ridge and Carteret are making it a real contest, and sending shivers up the spines of Democrats."

Fairfax County to release partial county of early in-person ballot count Fairfax County, which is delayed in reporting its early vote ballots, will release a partial county of their early voter in-person ballot count, a state party official tells Fox News' Rich Edson.

There’s another internet mystery to solve. Forget whether or not the dress is blue or gold. Don’t worry if they’re saying Laurel or Yanny. Is it a ghost or is it a symbol of the KKK? Or is it a KKK ghost? That’s what people in Jackson Township this week tried to determine at a home on Route 571 in a trailer park. Accompanying the ghost was a Confederate flag and a bald eagle. The display was first reported by NBC 4 New York, but is now going viral as people decide whether the homeowner is simply celebrating Halloween or...
