  • Kamala Harris Dishes Five Course Word Salad When Asked How She Will Lower Prices in America

    Ah, Kamala Harris. Our vice president just served up another of her classic word salads – complete with “I grew up middle class” dressing.

    Now we know why she doesn't give interviews.

    Let's break it down. Kamala was asked a pretty direct question: "What are you going to do to bring prices down?" Her answer? Well, instead of talking about economic policy or strategy, she gave us a full biography, paid tribute to her hard-working mother, and mentioned her neighborhood's lawn obsession.

    You have to love how she went from inflation to memories of lawns in one smooth transition.

    To be fair, this is not the first time that Kamala creative with her answers. She has the unique ability to turn a question into a heartfelt speech about life, community, and the American dream - without ever really addressing the question.

    It seems like her tactic here was to appeal to middle-class voters by sharing her own experiences. But if you're hoping for concrete solutions to the economy, hearing about their mother's hard work and pride in lawn care is probably not what people are looking for. Imagine telling someone struggling with grocery bills, "Hey, at least we have great lawns, right?"

    Kamala, we know you mean well, but next time we need a little more, you know, policy-oriented- how you might want to fight inflation, raise wages or cut costs. Less talk about speed, more talk about prices, please.

  • Barnegat man sentenced to 10 years in prison for drug trafficking, burglary and weapons possession

    TOMS RIVER, NJ — A Barnegat Township man was sentenced to 10 years in New Jersey State Prison on drug trafficking and other charges after a wide-ranging investigation led to his arrest, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer announced Friday.

    Quaison Ellis, 25, was sentenced by Judge Kenneth T. Palmer in connection with his guilty plea to charges of trafficking heroin and cocaine, illegal possession of a firearm and burglary. The sentences, which will be served concurrently, include two 10-year sentences for trafficking heroin and cocaine, a 5-year sentence for possession of a firearm by a person who does not have a firearm permit, and a 3-year sentence for burglary.

    Ellis pleaded guilty on July 15, 2024, to charges stemming from two separate incidents in Barnegat. The first incident occurred on September 10, 2021, when police observed Ellis leaving a residence in Barnegat, traveling to Paterson, NJ, and returning with a bag containing approximately 1,550 wax folds of heroin. Ellis was arrested following a vehicle stop and later released under New Jersey bail reform guidelines.

    The second incident occurred on December 9, 2022, when a court-ordered search warrant was executed at the same Barnegat residence. Officers seized quantities of heroin, cocaine, and a Keltec .32 caliber firearm that had been reported stolen from a vehicle in Stafford Township. Ellis was again taken into custody but released under New Jersey's bail reform laws.

    Ellis' sentence reflects the seriousness of his crimes and his incarceration will begin immediately.
