Illegal aliens in New Jersey have gone on a hunger strike to lobby state lawmakers to pass a taxpayer-funded program that would provide them with potentially billions in unemployment and stimulus benefits. This month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and state Democrats struck a budget deal that includes $2.1 billion of taxpayer money for nearly 300,000 illegal aliens. Those eligible will get a one-time payment of $15,600 , the equivalent of about $300 a week for a year. The aid to illegal aliens in New York is $1.1 billion more than tax credits and grants authorized for small businesses in the state. Now, illegal aliens in New Jersey — backed by groups like Make the Road, the New Jersey Immigrant Alliance for Justice, and the New Jersey Policy Perspective — are on a hunger strike to lobby Gov. Phil Murphy (D) for a New York-style benefits program. The illegal aliens are asking for $2,000 direct cash payments and $600 weekly benefits. NJ.com reports : After more than 400 days without access to relief funds, 34 undocumented immigrants and allies, including Quiroga, are on a hunger strike until Gov. Phil Murphy or the state Legislature commits to meaningful relief for excluded workers. Sunday marked the 12th day of the fast. [Emphasis added] … Days after the hunger strike began, Murphy officials floated the idea of a $40 million fund for excluded workers during a phone call with progressive immigrant advocacy groups , including Make the Road, New Jersey Immigrant Alliance for Justice, and New Jersey Policy Perspective. Advocacy groups balked, saying far more money is needed to help the undocumented workers who have been accumulating debt since the pandemic began. [Emphasis added] Open borders activists have called Murphy’s suggestion of $40 million for illegal aliens in New Jersey “crumbs.” In New York, illegal aliens went on a hunger strike that lasted 23 days before Cuomo and state Democrats included the taxpayer-funded ...

Showtime Series ‘Rust’ Starring Jeff Daniels Set To Begin This Week
By: Paul Martino PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Closing Thompson Run Road between Babcock and Vilsack will cause a lot of traffic problems this Thursday but there is an upside to the closure. READ MORE: Subaru Recalls Thousands Of Cars, SUVS Due To Potential Engine And Suspension Issues Neighbors in the community may get a glimpse of Jeff Daniels who is in town to film the Showtime series “Rust.” It also means Pittsburgh’s film industry is up and running again following a long hiatus from COVID-19. Pittsburgh’s Film Office says it’s big business and they’re hoping the state will increase its film tax credit. “We’ve been averaging over $100 million per year, every year, in southwestern Pennsylvania,” said Dawn Keezer of the Pittsburgh Film Office. “Putting people well over 5,000 people to work, there’s 18,000 statewide that work in this industry and for the most part, they utilize small businesses.” However, residents are only now learning about Thursday’s shut down and they’re concerned. “There’s only a one-way street where I live, there’s no outlet, there’s only one entrance and exit,” one resident said. “It’s a pretty busy street, a lot of traffic here at Vilsack during rush hour,” another added. However, when they learn that Jeff Daniels’ new series will be shot here, they seem OK with it. “The Dumb & Dumber series was one of my favorites, I’m sure most people would agree,” the first man added.

Celtics Faced Old Friend Daniel Theis For First Time
BOSTON (CBS) — With the Chicago Bulls in town, the Celtics got a visit from one of their former teammates on Monday night. For the first time in his NBA career, Daniel Theis was on the opposite side of the Celtics at the TD Garden. Theis, sent to Chicago ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline in a salary dump, got the start for Chicago and played 29 minutes against the Celtics in Monday’s 102-96 Bulls victory. He did what Daniel Theis normally does, playing some solid two-way basketball while chipping in with six points, six rebounds and four assists in the win.

So it appears the “War on Theis” has followed the big man to Chicago. Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said that Boston struggled to do anything at the rim because of Chicago’s double-big lineup, made up of Theis and Nikola Vucevic.

I thought we tried to get there but it was jammed up,” Stevens said after the loss. “They deserve a lot of credit, they impacted us on our drives big time.” Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, held to just 14 points and 3-for-17 shooting, said it was strange to see Theis in a different uniform. “Sad to see him on the other side, but I’m always happy for him,” Tatum said after notching a triple-double in the loss. “I’ve got nothing but love for that guy.” MORE NEWS: Bulls Snap Celtics' 6-Game Streak, 102-96 In his nearly four seasons in Boston, Theis averaged 7.2 points and 4.9 rebounds over 236 games — including 106 starts.

Petition to cancel Colton Underwood show over past harassment claims gets over 21,000 signatures
close Video ‘Bachelor’ star Colton Underwood says he has no regrets admitting he’s a virgin, wants to stay true to himself 'Bachelor' star Colton Underwood says he has no regrets admitting he’s a virgin, wants to stay true to himself. He also candidly discussed his relationship with contestant Cassie Randolph. Harassment allegations against former " Bachelor " star Colton Underwood have led to over 21,000 people signing a petition for Netflix to cancel an upcoming show about him. The Change.org petition , which has over 21,000 signatures as of this writing, exclusively critiques Underwood’s treatment of his ex, Cassie Randolph — and not his recent announcement that he is gay . Randolph, 25, was granted a restraining order in 2020 against Underwood, 29, although she later dropped it . "Colton is a former bachelor lead who stalked his final pick, Cassie Randolph. He placed a tracker on her car, sent her and her friends anonymous threatening texts, and was even seen standing outside her window extremely late in the night, resulting in her brother attempting to de-escalate the situation," claims the petition, which was started by an anonymous user. "Cassie is a victim of Colton’s abuse, and he does not deserve a platform in any way. Regardless of his sexuality, Colton should not be given a platform as a result of his abusive, manipulative, and dangerous behavior." 'BACHELOR' ALUM COLTON UNDERWOOD COMES OUT AS GAY: 'I'M THE HAPPIEST AND HEALTHIEST I'VE EVER BEEN' Last week, after Underwood came out as gay in a "Good Morning America" interview, Variety reported that the former NFL player is getting his own reality show.
