'Donut Boy,' Kid On A Mission To Thank Police, Visits Fairfield P.D.

Booker Introduces Bill To Study Slavery Reparations Booker Introduces Bill To Study Slavery Reparations
Booker Introduces Bill To Study Slavery Reparations Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has introduced legislation calling for a study of reparations, the policy of compensating the descendants of American slaves first proposed at the end of the Civil War.  "I’ve been unapologetic in my belief that this can’t just be about acknowledging the past. It needs to be about actually confronting racist policy that persists right now in the present. Because if we don’t, we cannot guarantee that our future will be any different than our past," said Booker, one of several candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.  Some form of…

Worth Losing Sleep Over: Spring Forward This Weekend We'll be springing forward this weekend (QUICK: Which two U.S. states don't follow Daylight Saving Time?).

Wealthy New Jerseyans Will Be Hit 2nd Hardest In U.S. By GOP Tax Bill A new study finds that New Jersey has had the second most millionaires in the U.S. for the last seven years.

The richest Americans are concentrated in states that were carried by Democrats in at least three of the last four presidential elections, according to the study.  That means that the GOP tax bill will have a greater impact on wealthy r…
False Alarm: Hawaii Wrongly Alerts 'Incoming Ballistic Missile' Threat False Alarm: Hawaii Wrongly Alerts 'Incoming Ballistic Missile' Threat
False Alarm: Hawaii Wrongly Alerts 'Incoming Ballistic Missile' Threat The timing couldn't have been worse: An emergency alert warning of an "incoming ballistic missile" was mistakenly sent out by Hawaiian officials on Saturday. It actually was part of a drill and wasn't supposed to be sent to cellphones, authorities said. "NO missile threat to Hawaii," the state's Emergency Management Agency (EMA) tweeted at 1:20 p.m. EDT (8:20 a.m. Hawaii time). It took 38 minutes to correct the error, which occurred when an employee selected the wrong item from a drop-down menu during what was supposed to be an internal test of Hawaii's emergency alert …
