Troopers Investigating a Serious Crash Involving a Pedestrian in Fenwick Island
The incident occurred around 8:55 p.m. Saturday June 20, 2015 as William D. Murphy, 52 of Havre De Grace, Maryland, was operated a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban northbound on Coastal Highway (SR 1) in the right lane approaching the intersection of Lighthouse Road (SR54) with a green light. Zander W. Hartman, 9 of Lehighton, Pennsylvania along with friends and family members were attempting to cross SR1 from the west to the east just north of the traffic light at the intersection of SR54. After successfully crossing both southbound lanes of traffic, the crossing signal changed forcing them to stop in the median near the raised curb. For unknown reasons, Zander Hartman darted out into the right lane of northbound SR1 directly in the path of Suburban where he was struck with the front bumper of the SUV. After the impact, the Suburban immediately pulled to a controlled stop in the bus lane of northbound Coastal Highway.
Zander Hartman was initially flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) in Salisbury and later transported by ambulance to DC Children's Hospital in Washington DC where he remains in critical condition.
William Murphy and his wife (passenger) were uninjured.
The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing their investigation into this incident. Alcohol is not a factor in this case and no charges have been filed. Northbound Coastal Highway at Lighthouse Road was closed for approximately two and a half hours while the crash was investigated and cleared.

Fine Dining on the taxpayers dime, oops dollars
Arrogance never ends in our local governments. While taxes are being increased in Worcester County and teachers are not getting pay raises local county officials will be sopping up on steak and other top of the line fare at one of the finest restaurants on the shore.
That's right folks the Tri County Council will entertain elected officials from Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset Counties on June 24th at the Blue Dog Café in Snow Hill Md. This group is funded by the three counties and the state of Md (this means your taxpayers dollars).
The Tri County Council is known to be willing to spread the wealth around by dining at some of the more upscale dining establishments ie Ruth Cris Steak House among others. Maybe the teachers that are complaining recently should show up and demand a free meal.
You know, "It's For The Children".
An Update On My Post From Last Week
I had been asked by SU TV in an interview if I was going to be as hard on Republican Elected Officials as I have done in the past with Democratic Elected Officials. I explained to them that we take our endorsements very seriously and IF ANY elected official didn't fulfill their platform, we would absolutely go after them.
That being said, six months have passed since the last election and it is time we start getting answers from each person serving us on a local level, WHERE'S THE JOBS YOU PROMISED?
You see, one thing I left out of my last post from last week was, why get a college education if there's no full time jobs available? Why spend all that money if the majority of jobs available are part time with no benefits? Will parents get smart and stay ahead of the curve, or will they continue to fall for the BS and financially support these college educations that have no real return on one of the biggest investments each person will make over their entire lifetime.
Now we can make this a national discussion but quite frankly I'd like it to remain an Eastern Shore discussion and let me tell you why. Like I stated in my last article, we CAN build our way out of this national problem on a local level. We CAN set an example for the rest of America to follow, it truly can be done. However, the majority have to get on board.
I say, enough of these catch phrases these politicians keep using. This time around I want smart enough and experienced enough people running that CAN create good paying jobs. People with enough experience, wisdom and drive to actually make a positive difference.
Look up San Antonio Texas and see what they've done. Salisbury already has a river running through it, DO SOMETHING WITH IT!
Look up Great Wolf Lodge in Virginia:
Think of the food and lodging this would create. You must make Wicomico County a "DESTINATION LOCATION" and none of what I have been proposing is too far fetched.
What I have been proposing for years will take work, something ALL of your elected officials have NOT delivered. Because they continue to load the state up with so many new laws and legislation there doesn't seem to be enough time for economic development and that needs to come to an immediate end.
Once you create enough anchor locations you'll start seeing more interest in other businesses wanting to invest in the Shore BUT you have to create a base first. You need to make some incredible deals to get it started. Look at Orlando Florida. It all started with Disney World and now look what's there. There's no need for a Rain Tax! You just have to work hard and be creative enough.
Let's go on a bigger scale for a moment. The TESLA company is well known for their cars but what most do not realize is their advancement in new battery technology. They created a manufacturing facility in the West Coast that manufactures these incredible new batteries that retain/store unbelievable amounts of wind and solar energy. You mark my words Folks, this technology will be the biggest thing we've seen since the massive invention of computers.
They can set a residential home up for around $17,000.00 and completely take you OFF THE GRID during peak hours and save every single home an absolute fortune is electric savings. This has also been developed for commercial use. TESLA wants to open up SEVEN more manufacturing plants across the Unites States that will be hiring tens of thousands of new employees and delivering great paying jobs.
Now, I have presented this to our local elected officials and have they done anything about it, NO. I asked them weeks ago to get on a plane immediately and ask them what it would take to get them to open a facility here in Wicomico County. Once again, it must be too much work and or our elected officials are simply too GREEN to have enough confidence to handle the job.
It's time to open your minds. It's time to think BIG. A bar here and a bar there, NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I will be dedicating this week to calling our elected officials to ask them just where Wicomico County is headed and what we can expect over the next 3.5 years. My guess, not very far. Unless you want to account for the new Rain Tax in Salisbury. That's the most economic development Wicomico County has seen in several years and the only jobs it created was, well, none!
Can I get an AMEN?

Ironic Lawsuit Filed by Former President of Spokane NAACP Emerges — and She’s Been Caught in Major Lie
In the 2002 lawsuit, Dolezal, 37, alleged that her appointment to a teaching assistant position at the historically black university was wrongfully rejected, the Smoking Gun reported. Howard University, she claimed in the lawsuit, was “permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult.”
Filed in Washington, D.C.’s Superior Court, the lawsuit formally alleged “discrimination based on race, pregnancy, family responsibilities and gender.” The discrimination was “motivated by a discriminatory purpose to favor African-American students,” the suit added.

South Carolina law forbids removal of Confederate flag from capitol—and it's padlocked in place
Because South Carolina law explicitly requires it. A 2000 bill called the "South Carolina Heritage Act," which moved the flag from the capitol dome to a special "Confederate Soldiers' Monument" nearby, is vexillologically exacting in the utmost. It specifies the flag's shape (square), size (52 inches a side), and even its appearance, down to the finest detail ("The stars are five-pointed, inscribed in a circle six inches in diameter and are uniform in size").
It also says that the flag "shall not be removed, changed, or renamed without the enactment of a joint resolution by a two-thirds vote of the membership of each house of the General Assembly approving same." And to make absolutely certain the flag won't go anywhere, the law even calls for "appropriate decorative iron fences" to be erected around it, to keep it "secure."

Militant Atheists Blast Sheriff For Preaching At Church in Uniform
On Monday, the Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a letter to the sheriff, stating that preaching in uniform is a violation of the First Amendment. The complaint was prompted by a Judd’s April 19 sermon at Lakeland’s First Baptist Church at the Mall.
The sheriff’s reply: He’ll be speaking at another church this Sunday.
“I found it humorous and entertaining,” Judd told The Tampa Tribune on Wednesday. “They obviously mis-characterized the sermon I preached. I was shocked. It is most bizarre.”
The foundation said that by appearing in uniform Judd gives the impression the county endorses Christianity and “sends a message of exclusion” to non-Christians.
“You cannot preach in church as Sheriff Judd, you must do so as Mr. Judd, private citizen,” the foundation told the sheriff.
The Sheriff plans to keep preaching in churches despite the complaint.

The FEMA Camp Round Up Of the Homeless Has Begun!
It begins with the homeless. Then another group, then another… Until, well just remember Germany. It isn’t pretty!
According to MSN , the Columbia City Council unanimously approved the plan, creating special police patrols that would enforce “quality of life” laws involving loitering, public urination and other crimes not necessarily restricted to the homeless population.
Those officers would then offer the homeless a choice:
Go to jail for their homelessness or be shuffled to a 240-bed, 24-hour shelter on the outskirts of town, which they wouldn’t be allowed to easily leave.According to the Activist Post , the Columbia South Carolina plan is already complete with an urgent Emergency Homeless Response report. And that report includes information about hauling the homeless away in transport vans to an already stationed shelter with workers, phone number for townspeople to report “the person in need,” an officer stationed to control foot traffic, public feeding moved there, more foot patrol officers for the city to keep out the homeless – oh, and the homeless can’t walk off the premises!
If they want to leave, they must get permission, set up an appointment and be shuttled by a transport van. A patrolman will guard the road leading in to make sure homeless don’t wander off downtown.

County Maintains Water-Based Festival Not Permitted, But Organizer Still Planning Event
Although organizer Allen Barzak received a permit from Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the three-day festival planned for the Isle of Wight Bay, he did not get the needed permits from Worcester County.
“These are not just bureaucratic regulations,” said Bob Mitchell, the county’s head of environmental programs. “These are rules designed to protect the public.”
Ed Tudor, director of development review and permitting for Worcester County, said Barzak would have needed a zoning permit as well as approval from the Worcester County Health Department.
“He does not have any local approvals,” Tudor said.

Race Faker Dolezal Fired From University, She Even Lied About Being a ‘Professor’
It has now been revealed that the mentally ill Rachel Dolezal lied about something else on top of the dozen other things she lied about. You’ll recall that she’s been called a “professor” at Eastern Washington State university. Well, now the university admits that she was never a professor and that she has been fired from her job as instructor.
Dolezal has been going around calling herself a “professor” for sometime. Here is a snippet of what her bio looked like on the university website…
But as of this weekend, that bio no longer appears on the university’s site.
Despite the fact that her online bio hosted by the university called her a “quarterly professor,” it turns out the school never authorized her to call herself that because in fact she is just an “adjunct instructor” who was hired from quarter to quarter.
In essence she is just an assistant, not a full or even a partial professor. Breitbart has the story:

City Tells Veteran He Will be Arrested if He Continues to Use Solar Power and Collect Rainwater
The city of Huntsville, AL has told a couple who are living completely off their land that if they continue, they will be arrested for trespassing on their own land. You read that right, trespassing on their own land.
Military veteran Tyler Truitt, along with his girlfriend, has setup his home on two acres inside the Huntsville city limit. He uses a solar system to supply the property with power and collects rain water.
However, Huntsville is telling him that if he doesn’t get hooked up to city water and power, he could be arrested. According to local media coverage:
“They came and they condemned our house and told us if we stayed here we’d be arrested for trespassing on our own property, and the reason why is, they said, it was unsafe living conditions because we don’t have city utilities hooked up,” Truitt explained.

Why Is Charleston Shooter Called Mentally Deranged, Rather Than Thug Or Terrorist?
It’s an interesting question, as discussed in the USA Today
One hundred and forty characters isn’t nearly enough to unravel the politics of mass violence, to expound on America’s history of institutionalized racism, or to dissect the inconsistencies perceived in the way we talk about both.
But it’s more than enough to make us pause. It’s more than enough for a collective vent. And after Dylann Roof, who is white, allegedly opened fire Wednesday in a South Carolina church and killed nine black people, Twitter users exploded over what they saw as disparities in attitude and language the news media use to categorize violence.
The thesis of many was clear: White privilege persists, even in the coverage of heinous crimes. Users lamented that when a suspect is black, they’re often labeled a “thug” or a “gangster.” When they’re Muslim, they’re stamped a “terrorist.” When they’re white. they’re afforded the far more benign pathology of “troubled” or “mentally ill.”
