By Don Guardian Earlier this month, I gathered on the Boardwalk with dozens of our city’s South Asian merchants to mourn the loss of Mehmood Ansari. Mehmood, the owner of City Souvenirs, died after being targeted by two teens who allegedly robbed his store at knifepoint. Gloucestercitynews.net graphic files It was heartbreaking to hear these small business owners beg for protection after concerns for their personal safety had been ignored for months by state officials. Every shopkeeper had a story about being intimidated, harassed, or shoplifted. Many felt it was only a matter of time before the uptick in lawlessness led to a fatal tragedy. Mehmood’s sons, who ran to resuscitate him after he collapsed outside his store, were devastated by the loss of their... Read more →

Branded merchandise is one of the most successful promotional tactics companies can employ in their marketing mix. Having staff dressed in the same style of work clothing can help build a sense of unity, of being part of a team and of working together as part of a bigger entity. Alternatively, if you want to spread your marketing message even further, you could also look at handing out free branded clothing to your clients. Offering well-designed, branded merchandise can help businesses form a stronger bond with their clients while also reinforcing their message and engaging with customers in a way not possible with other forms of marketing. After all, everyone likes a freebie, right? Key considerations when designing branded apparel Before you start down the... Read more →

Nowadays, farming is rapidly developing, allowing people to make environmentally friendly and natural products for sale. Farming allows entrepreneurs to sell such valuable products as meat (pork, beef, poultry), dairy products (milk, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream), eggs, vegetables, etc. In almost any city or village, there is a person who is involved in this business. Until recently, farming has started to thrive again and it brings huge profits to its owners. If you are among those people who are not afraid of challenges, starting your own farming business will be a good idea. What Do You Need to Start Your Farm? To organize your farm, you need to have the initial capital. It is also important to know the basic principles of its planning... Read more →

TO THE POINT: CAMDEN CITY – Looking at the City of Camden, says Lew Bivona, its reputation as the community gardening epicenter of the Garden State, let alone the country, may not be outwardly obvious. However, explains the Rutgers University–Camden doctoral student, there was a time when the city may have actually held the unofficial title. He cites a 2010 report from the University of Pennsylvania that led its authors to suggest that Camden growers may have created more community gardens per person than any city in the United States. “The city’s rich legacy of gardening was built on maintaining cultural and historical ties,” says the Ph.D. student in public affairs. “Many gardeners had grandparents who were sharecroppers and much of the food produced was...

In New Executive Gun Control Push, Biden Seems to Throw Obama, and Himself, Under the Bus Many have come to realize that Joe Biden rarely seems to make much sense, especially when speaking publicly. At his recent Rose Garden ceremony, where he announced his latest assault on the Second Amendment, he lied a number of times, and garbled the name of the federal agency tasked with enforcing federal gun laws. At the Rose Garden ceremony, Biden announced these six actions: “The Justice Department, within 30 days, will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of “ghost guns.” While the text of the rule is not available at this time, it is likely that this rule is aimed at the self-made firearms market.

NRA-ILA SOURCE Firearm retailers reported to their trade association, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, that 40% of their customers during the Surge of 2020 were first-time gun buyers. This works out to an estimated 8 million new gun owners in 2020, and March's NICS data shows that surge in sales is a new era rather than a short-lived spike. One year ago, we marked a new all-time record for monthly NICS background checks numbers after March 2020 saw more than 3.7 million, which bested the previous record by more than four hundred thousand checks. As the pandemic was joined by additional societal stressors, the surge in gun sales only picked up the pace. The March 2020 record only lasted until June 2020, and that record... Read more →

WASHINGTON, DC - A new report by the nonpartisan nonprofit Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR), How Easy is it to Vote Early in Your State?, was released today, categorizing states as green, yellow or red, depending on the availability of, or barriers to, early and mail voting. When states offer easy access to mail and early in-person voting options, it not only makes it more convenient for eligible voters, it also improves election integrity, as more voting gets spread out over several days. States considering rolling back these options, by making it harder to request and return a mail ballot or reducing early voting options, are harming both access to the ballot and election security, and going against the trend in both red...

Bill Donohue | CNBNews Contributor April 12, 2021 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on an op-ed that attacks religious and charter schools: The waiting list to get into charter schools is considerable in most cities. Most on the list are non-white. They want an alternative to the public schools. Why? For the same reason that rich people do: the public schools are unsatisfactory, and in many cases they are positively dreadful. But unlike the rich, most minority parents cannot afford to send their children to private schools. Enrollment at Catholic schools during the pandemic is down overall, though there are many important exceptions. Many low-income parents, and those who are out of work, cannot pay the tuition. A report by the National Catholic Educational... Read more →
