Even so, he added,…
He was clocked at least 94 miles an hour when the New Jersey state troopers finally pulled him over.“You were all over the road,” they told the driver, who was facing a stack of serious traffic violations.It was then that a passenger in the car offered a so-called “courtesy card,” often handed out by cops and others in law enforcement to friends, family members and the well-connected that can sometimes serve like a magical talisman.The troopers returned to their vehicle to check the driver’s credentials and the identification for the passengers.

President-elect Donald Trump floated another far-fetched idea on Wednesday. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing a crucial political test amid a tumultuous period within his government. But Trump is continuing to fan the flames by mocking the Canadian leader and suggesting that Canada could become the 51st state of the U.S. “No one can answer why we subsidize Canada to the tune of over $100,000,000 a year? Makes no sense! Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State. They would save massively on taxes and military protection. I think it is a great idea. 51st State!!!” he wrote…

The latest drone sighting conspiracy theory about a search for missing nuclear material, which got amplified by a New Jersey mayor Tuesday on “Good Day New York,” has quickly been debunked by federal and state officials.“There is an alert that’s out right now that radioactive material in New Jersey has gone missing on Dec. 2. It was a shipment,” Belleville Mayor Michael Melham told the hosts on Fox’s flagship morning news program in the New York market. “This is just an example of what I think that we’re sniffing for.”The mayor was referring to a Dec. 12 notice filed by…
