I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.
while it is true that the Hyde Amendment does prohibit federal funds for abortions (except in rare cases) it is not as simple as some make it out to be. This article is old so you can probably assume the figures are higher now but it explains it well.
From the article:
"Remember that most indirect taxpayer financing of abortions comes in the form of implicitly subsidized discounts on the cost of abortions that may range from 50 cents on the dollar (in the case of taxpayers with high marginal tax rates who use an employer-provided health plan to pay for their abortion) to only pennies on the dollar. But the magnitude of taxpayer subsidies can be perhaps better assessed by thinking in terms of abortion-equivalents. If we apply the 24% figure to the total number of abortions, it is as if taxpayers pay the full cost of 250,000 abortions a year, with about 70,000 financed by federal taxpayers and 180,000 financed by state taxpayers .
For anyone who previously supposed that federally financed abortions were limited to the 331 publicly reported for Medicaid, the contrast between reality and the far more limited view we've had of reality to date is likely to be staggering. The Hyde Amendment has actually achieved a very great deal in terms of limiting direct payment for abortions. But if we're really serious about the proposition that federal taxpayers should not be liable for any abortions except to save the life of the mother or cases of rape or incest, it should be obvious that there is plenty more work to be done.”
The author states that his figures are very "rough". That would mean they are not accurate. And thus author appears to be a zebra in regard to his opinion. Do you have any authoritative people complaining about taxpayer financed abortions.
This CDC report shows increasing incidence of sexual violence and forced sex among teenage girls. The report is titled "Touth Risk and Behavior Study" and is available on the CDC website.
Of particular interest are the data on forced sex and sexual violence.
Then perhaps the Democrats should stop defunding the police and end their soft on criminal policies like no cash bail etc. Yes, the Country is becoming less safe because of Democrat policies.

Yes, I did actually read the article. Like I stated to the poster who didn't like it either you are welcome to provide your own article with more accurate numbers.
"Authoritative people" LOL. Not sure what that is suppose to mean but are you saying those people are the only ones who matter? Any people who are paying their taxes to the government should have a say so where said money is going!
Meanwhile talking about the Country being less safe what is going on with all the Balloons and UFO's flying all over the Country and what nefarious purpose do these people have in mind. And, China accusing the US of exactly what they did. This is not going well. Biden is not, and has not, been projecting strength, not good for the Country!

This is truly disgusting and disturbing on many levels.
Can you name any police departments that are being defunded? Most police departments are receiving more funding. Please show me the evidence between policy and the increase in sexual violence (or is it just a increase in reporting sexual violence. It might be true. I don't know. But we did just get rid of a president that normalized sexual indiscretions that were broadcasted in such a manner that no child could not be exposed to our pervert president. How healthy is that for kids? Are you the only person in the country dispirited by the our schools? You think you are alone? Didn't you watch The Wire? They spent an entire season on the Baltimore school system... quarter of a century ago. What makes you believe that YOU have the answer? The country would love to hear your plan to educate these kids. The title if your last article was so stupid I didn't even read it. You are quick to blame but I don't see any intellectual trail here.

Riiight. You are alone in your regard for this problem.

Well if they knew about the failing education system 25 years ago and it is still not fixed, or even worse now, what does that tell you (there is your trail). Tells me the Democrats don't care about the kids in Baltimore! Who should we blame here, the city is run by Democrats and obviously the "education system" is either incompetent or corrupt (or both).
Not sure why I will post these stats on cities that have defunded the police if you are not even going to read them but here ya go anyway. And yes I realize that they have started to re-fund the police because of the hot mess it has created.

This is a new one I actually never heard before. I would look it up myself but I'm too lazy.
Do you usually engage with people by questioning their intelligence, calling them lazy , and saying the source was "stupid"? While at the same time admitting you didn't read it? And not provide any sources for your wild claims?
Personal attacks and name calling are against the TOS

The source was inflammatory and obviously an opinion piece. It shouldn't even be on that list. I have protected your sensitivities but before I go, I must add that we all KNOW about our president's indiscretion because he paid her off and she told us the shape of his member. EWWWWWW!
An unbelievable piece of news from Missouri (the state that raised the minimum marriage age to 16 in 2018!)
Reuters
Missouri's legislature voted down a proposed ban on minors carrying firearms in public.
Republicans saw the rejected measure as a breach of the right to bear arms.
The rejected amendment was part of a larger effort by lawmakers to increase public safety in the state.

The Republican-led legislature in Missouri voted down a provision that would ban minors from carrying guns in public without adult supervision earlier this week in a state that already has some of the weakest gun laws in the US.
The amendment was initially part of a bipartisan effort to pass legislation to increase public safety in Missouri. The legislative body rejected the proposal by 104 to 39 votes.
Democratic Rep. Donna Baringer for the city of St. Louis was disappointed by the outcome and said law enforcement in her district supported the ban of children openly carrying firearms so that "14-year-olds walking down the middle of the street in the city of St. Louis carrying AR-15s."
"Now they have been emboldened, and they are walking around with them," she told the Associated Press. "Until they actually brandish them and brandish them with intent, our police officers' hands are handcuffed."
Republicans, however, saw the rejected measure as a breach of the right to bear arms.
"While it may be intuitive that a 14-year-old has no legitimate purpose, it doesn't actually mean that they're going to harm someone. We don't know that yet," said Republican Rep. Tony Lovasco, according to the Associated Press.
"Generally speaking, we don't charge people with crimes because we think they're going to hurt someone."
Only one Republican, Rep. Bill Allen, voted in favor of the measure.
Open carrying of weapons is legal in the state in most situations. In 2017, the state "eliminated the requirement for a concealed carry permit," according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In the state, there is no minimum age required to carry a firearm.
In a country plagued with continuous mass shootings and fatal gun violence, fear about children's access to handguns and other firearms is ongoing. Across the country, firearms are marketed to children despite gun violence being the leading cause of death for kids due to lax restrictions and laws.
The source was inflammatory and obviously an opinion piece. It shouldn't even be on that list. I have protected your sensitivities but before I go, I must add that we all KNOW about our president's indiscretion because he paid her off and she told us the shape of his member. EWWWWWW!
So you are privy to the Presidents private information and details of legal transactions? Do you really KNOW!
