Steve, the cowboy on the board of directors of the Mule Barn truck stop’s philosophy counter and world dilemma think tank, swears on his coffee it happened.
“Tourist guy got off the train the other day when I was down there picking up a friend,” Steve said. “He asked me if I was a real cowboy, and I allowed I probably was, because I wasn’t smart enough to get a real job. So he asked if I minded if he asked me some questions.”

The Election Transparency Initiative (ETI) today expressed deep disappointment following New Jersey’s enactment of the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act, legislation that moves the state in a markedly different direction from the commonsense election integrity reforms advancing in Congress through the SAVE America Act.
“The SAVE America Act focuses on preventing problems before they occur through objective verification. This law focuses on resolving disputes afterward through litigation,” Cuccinelli said. “Prevention builds confidence. Litigation erodes it.”

GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (CNBNEWS)(July 7, 2026)—Sweetie and I were walking in the field across from the Cold Springs today. It was around 8 AM. She was off lead and was healing on my left side. A vehicle came out of nowhere and brushed the side of my right leg. When Sweetie saw the car, she ran towards Cold Springs Drive. Buses and cars were everywhere. Fortunately, she came when I called her. I hooked her to her lead and approached the woman, who was still on her smartphone texting away. She was unaware of what was happening around her. I knocked gently on her window. When I explained to her what had happened, she apologized several times.

Just in time for the beginning of summer, the Food and Drug Administration has approved a new sunscreen ingredient for the first time in more than a quarter-century.
Bemotrizinol is a next-generation ultraviolet filter already widely used in other nations. The FDA fully approved the ingredient for use in the United States this month.
It’s progress, but it does not address the deeper problem. The FDA still regulates sunscreen as if it were a high-risk drug rather than a low-risk cosmetic product. That regulatory posture keeps the latest in sunscreen technology off the U.S. market and deprives Americans of some of the most effective tools available for preventing skin cancer.
