Nothing funny about Trump’s survival scare | Editorial
“Too soon?” stand-up comics will often ask their audiences after a joke about a recent tragedy lands with a well-earned thud. Some tragedies do become legitimate humor targets with the passage of time. Some jokesters will turn the “too soon?” crutch on its head, by uttering the phrase after telling a stinker gag about, say, the Abraham Lincoln assassination.
This Menendez thing is bad for our image | Sheneman
From time immemorial, New Jersey has been the butt of jokes, subject to lame attempts at humor from hacks whose knowledge of the bucolic wonders of our state is limited to what can be gleaned while staring out the driver’s side window when waiting to enter the Holland Tunnel.

Play brings the real story of Mary Magdalene and her leadership to life | Faith Matters
Farrah Glisson faithfully attends our Sunday evening Mass at Our Lady of Grace Church in Hoboken and for years has handed out the church bulletin as people depart. I call her “our communicator.”. Then one Sunday this past Easter season I casually said to her, “You are our Mary...

The 2024 campaign is a wake-up call: Abortion rights are on the ballot in N.J. | Opinion
Like any OB/GYN, I have been deeply invested in following what is being said in the 2024 presidential campaign about reproductive healthcare – including abortion. Hearing Donald Trump claim that “everyone” wanted to overturn Roe v. Wade at last month’s debate was self-evidently ridiculous, yes. But...
A bidding war helped this N.J. house sell for 50% above its asking price
A good location can mean a lot of different things. Maybe a house is near public transportation, or water or downtown. In the case of this house in Summit, its location made it sell for 50% above asking price. But not for any of those reasons. “It’s a split-level on...

Trump thinks his VP is the future of MAGA. Consider what that entails | Editorial
Donald Trump has selected JD Vance to be his running mate, which some consider a surprising choice, given that the freshman senator from Ohio spent much of his pre-political life assailing Trump as “America’s Hitler,” “a total fraud,” “a moral disaster,” and “cultural heroin.”
U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez was untouchable, until he wasn’t. N.J. politicians are on notice.
When U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez narrowly avoided a corruption conviction in 2017, in a case that claimed he repeatedly used his power to help a wealthy donor, he did not offer any apology. If anything, he was mad. If you purchase a product or register for an account through a...
Asking Eric: When I talk about the many places I’ve been and the celebrities I’ve met, people walk away
DEAR ERIC: I have been fortunate to have met a number of well-known people and visited many locales worldwide, often, due to my business, places where tourists don’t go. Occasionally, someone in a group I am with mentions reading about a person or place I know something about from personal experience. If I volunteer that I personally am acquainted with said individual or locale, the response is nearly always negative. The conversation dies, the people walk away.
How Yankees can (and must) solve their DJ LeMahieu problem | Analysis
NEW YORK — If there ever was a day that Yankees third baseman DJ LeMahieu should have been out there in the middle of the clubhouse doing a postgame interview, it was after a 9-1 loss to the Rays on Saturday. As Ricky Ricardo used to say to Lucy...
What Yankees are saying about trade deadline
NEW YORK — Yankees players are bracing for GM Brian Cashman to do something to make them better before the July 30 trade deadline, which is a week from Tuesday. They know that reinforcements are needed to transform them back to what they thought they were prior to a month-long skid that continued Saturday at Yankee Stadium when the Rays won in a rout 9-1.
Dear Abby: My stepmother won’t stop pushing her unsound parenting advice on me
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I had a baby right around the time my father remarried. I didn’t know my new stepmother very well when she started giving me parenting advice. The issue is, her convictions are not in line with mine and also conflict with the advice from the CDC or the American Academy of Pediatrics. Some examples: She insists breastfeeding is stunting the baby’s growth (she’s fine), that babies should be put to bed face-down (dangerous) and that holding a baby in a car is just as good as a car seat (?!). I do my best to smile, nod and go about my business, but she’s really pushy and keeps saying she was a nurse, so she knows what she’s talking about.
Today’s daily horoscope for July 21, 2024
Male deer shed their antlers in winter, and by July a new crowning glory sits atop their head, nature’s way of helping them impress one another. The full moon in July is the Buck Moon, recalling any array of reasons to hold your head up and show what’s growing from it. In the human sense, it’s about sharing ideas and pitching creative invitation.
Yankees shake up bullpen after blowout, dump lefty for righty
NEW YORK — The Yankees already were in ‘get through the game’ mode Saturday when starter Nestor Cortes was knocked out in the fifth inning with the Rays leading 6-0. Not wanting to use a bunch of relievers with his club down big, manager Aaron Boone first went with high-leverage arm Michael Tonkin in a long-man role to get through the fifth and sixth innings, then rookie left-hander Josh Maciejewski became a sacrificial lamb throwing 50 pitches working the seventh, eighth and ninth.

NFL star Jonathan Taylor inducted into Salem County Sports Hall of Fame
Most of the country knows Jonathan Taylor as an All-Pro running back for the Indianapolis Colts. But to the residents of Salem County, as impressive as his accomplishments are on the gridiron, they pale in comparison to the kind of person he is — and they remain grateful that he’s never forgotten where he came from.
Miss Manners: Please don’t flush the toilet when I’m in the restroom taking a business call
DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have a very stressful job. I am connected to my phone almost 24/7, and I take all calls regardless of my location. I frequently take calls from clients and staff while using the ladies’ room. I am distressed when others using the same restroom flush toilets and use loud hand-dryers while I’m on the phone. It must be obvious to them that I’m talking, and yet they make these noises, which interrupt my calls.
