Muslim Teen Doesn’t Like What This Girl is Wearing
A shocking video is spreading across the Internet, as the “refugee
crisis continues to surge with Muslim men flooding into Europe from the Middle East.
Video of the incident was uploaded to Facebook after taking place in Rotterdam, Netherlands. In the clip, a Muslim man approached a woman to object to her choice of outfit, thinking she was dressed immodestly – a sleeveless t-shirt. Hardly street-walking attire.
As Mad World News reported, he starts out the conversation by saying, “You dress like a whore,” and it got ugly real fast after that. Understandably the woman’s initial reaction was to argue with the man. But as with so many misogynistic Muslim men, that just set off his rage…

Poll Results On Police Violence Tend To Be Racially Divided
Pat Warren has results of a new poll.
Marylanders were asked what they think is the bigger cause of violent encounters between the public and the police.
The man at the center of one struggle with police last month is charged with assaulting the officers. Also last month, an officer was charged with assaulting a man during an arrest. Two examples of incidents escalating to violence.
Is it the attitude of police?

Hollie Sanford told WJW-TV that she suffered from debilitating morning sickness and extreme sciatic nerve pain while she was pregnant with her new daughter, Nova. Doctors initially prescribed opiates, but she and her husband were worried not only about a possible addiction to the drug but also the affects it could have on their unborn child.
So the couple, who also have a son, researched medical marijuana and opted to try a medicinal marijuana tea as a safer and more natural way to quell her pain.

DARPA To Hold Cyber Grand Challenge Event
DARPA will hold the world’s first all-computer Capture the Flag
tournament in
which automated systems may take the first steps toward a
defensible,
connected future. DARPA’s goal for the CGC is to spur an
automation revolution
in computer security so machines can discover,
confirm and fix software flaws
within seconds, instead of waiting up to
a year as is typical under the
current human-centric system. DARPA
believes these capabilities are essential
if the nation and world are to
take full advantage of the increasingly
interlinked big-data revolution
while protecting data and processes—especially
as more and more devices,
including vehicles and homes, get connected to the
“Internet of Things.”
Seven teams from across the United States have
qualified to compete in
the Final Event. Nearly $4 million in prizes are at
stake—along with the
chance to help revolutionize cybersecurity going forward.
The winning
team will receive $2 million; second place will earn $1 million;
and
third place will earn $750,000.
The CGC Final Event will take place
August 4, 2016, live on stage
co-located with the DEF CON 24 conference in Las
Vegas.
Governor Larry Hogan Reopens Maryland State Police Barrack "J" in Annapolis
Fulfills Promise Made During Legislative Session
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Larry Hogan today joined Maryland State Police Superintendent Colonel William Pallozzi to officially reopen the Maryland State Police Annapolis Barrack. To mark the occasion, the governor presented Colonel Pallozzi with keys to the barrack, in front of an audience that included retired and current troopers who had previously worked at the barrack, as well as other local and state allied law enforcement officials.
In reopening the barrack, Governor Hogan fulfilled a promise made during the 2015 legislative session, and reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to making sure that the Maryland State Police remains among the most effective, trusted, and respected police force in the United States. Earlier this year, Governor Hogan also budgeted for the State Police to hire 100 new troopers, 50 of whom are currently in training.
“Our administration is committed to making sure Maryland's Finest have all the resources they need to continue their excellent service,” Governor Larry Hogan said. "Reopening Barrack 'J' is a step in the right direction, and will allow our police to better serve the citizens of Annapolis and the state at-large."
Governor Hogan originally announced the administration’s plan to reopen the barrack at Colonel Pallozzi’s swearing-in ceremony in March. Today’s announcement marked the beginning of Maryland State Police around-the-clock operations at the Annapolis barrack. Road patrol troopers, criminal investigators, and other State Police personnel are currently working out of the barrack, and a duty officer is now present at the barrack at all times. Although the Annapolis barrack was first opened in 1972, it was later closed in 2008 by the previous administration.
Wicomico War Memorial Committee Hosts Veterans Day Ceremony at the WY&CC
Salisbury, MD – The Wicomico War Memorial Committee invites the community to join them in honoring military veterans at a ceremony on Wednesday, November 11 at 11 a.m. The ceremony will take place at the Wicomico County War Memorial located directly in front of the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center at 500 Glen Avenue in Salisbury, Md. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held inside the Civic Center.
The ceremony, which is being coordinated by the Wicomico County War Memorial Committee, includes patriotic music, prayer and remembrance to honor all veterans. Veterans Day is set aside to thank and honor living veterans who served honorably in the military, in wartime or peacetime.
Many Americans confuse this holiday with Memorial Day, which honors service members who died in service to their country or as a direct result of injuries incurred while in battle. Veteran’s Day, initially termed Armistice Day, was created to honor World War I veterans and celebrate the official ending of the First World War which occurred at 11 a.m. on November 11, 1918. In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, legislation was approved by the 83rd US Congress to change the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day – thereby making November 11 a day in which all American veterans of wars could be honored.
The Wicomico War Memorial at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center is a fitting location for this ceremony as the Civic Center is itself a living war memorial to all veterans. At the outside Wicomico War Memorial, flags from each service branch, along with a United States, Maryland, Wicomico County and the POW-MIA flag proudly fly over a brick wall displaying bronze plagues with the names of Wicomico County’s fallen veterans from World War II and beyond.

Experts Decipher Message on Jar Found Where David Killed Goliath… Confirms Key Part of Scripture
After three years, Israeli archaeologists have pieced together several ceramic fragments uncovered during a dig in the Valley of Elah, a place best known for the battle between David and Goliath as described in 1 Samuel.
The Israeli Antiquities Authority made an announcement Tuesday about the discovery and deciphering of the ancient text found on a 3,000-year-old jar reconstructed from the fragments.
Yosef Garfinkel from Hebrew University’s Institute of Archaeology and Saar Ganor of the Israel Antiquities Authority led an excavation in 2012 during which time the archaeologists foundpotsherds with individual letters of Canaanite script inscribed on them.
The individual potsherds were then carefully pieced together and experts in the language were able to decipher the text which spelled out a name: Eshba’al Ben Bada’.
What makes this find so significant is that, according to the Israeli researchers, this was the first time an inscription of “Eshba’al” — which appears in the Bible — has been found in an archaeological excavation in Israel.

Countdown: District Has 30 Days to Change Transgender Student Locker Room Policy or Lose Federal Funds
A school district near Chicago, Palatine 211, provides numerous accommodations for transgender students. The district calls the students by requested names, honors selected gender (including allowing them to play on the sports teams of the gender they identify as belonging to), and permits them to use single-sex bathrooms, since stalls ensure privacy.
But the federal government has decided the district is still guilty of violating Title IX, the law prohibiting sex-based discrimination, over certain locker room restrictions.
“District 211 is not excluding transgender students from their gender-identified locker room,” said district superintendent Daniel Cates in a statement. “Though our position has been inaccurately reported, a transgender student may use his or her gender-identified locker room simply by utilizing individual measures of privacy when changing clothes or taking showers.”

WICOMICO COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER RECEIVES 2015 OUTSTANDING RURAL HEALTH ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
(Salisbury, MD) On Thursday, October 29, 2015, Wicomico County Health Officer Lori Brewster was presented with the 2015 Outstanding Rural Health Achievement Award. This annual award is presented by the Maryland Rural Health Association, a nonprofit organization that educates and advocates for the optimal health of rural communities and their residents.
Mrs. Brewster was nominated by Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver for her active involvement in numerous community programs and her service on numerous state level committees such as the State Drug and Alcohol Council, an appointment by the Governor. Mrs. Brewster has played an instrumental role in development of programs that directly impact the health of county residents. After developing jail mental health programs in Wicomico and Dorchester counties, Lori led the merging of Wicomico mental health and substance use programs into an integrated behavioral health program. Lori also established programming to address heroin issues in the community and programs to reduce hypertension and diabetes, both of which were identified as public health issues through a Community Health Assessment.
“Lori is to be commended for her efforts to improve the health of the residents of Wicomico County,” says Dr. James Cockey, Deputy Health Officer for Wicomico County. Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver adds “Wicomico County is fortunate to have Lori Brewster as our Health Officer.”

ISLAMIC INVASION PULLS TRIGGER: EUROPE NOW SCRAMBLES FOR GUNS
Many 'now wish they had a 2nd Amendment'
Austrians are arming themselves at record rates in an effort to defend their households against feared attacks from Muslim invaders.
Tens of thousands of Muslim “refugees” have poured into Austria from Hungary and Slovenia in recent months on their way to Germany and Sweden, two wealthy European countries that have laid out the welcome mat for migrants. More than a million will end up in Germany alone by the end of this year, according to estimates from the German government.
Obtaining a working firearm and ammunition in Germany, Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands is practically impossible for the average citizen. Germany, for instance, requires a psychological evaluation, the purchase of liability insurance and verifiable compliance with strict firearms storage and safety rules. And self-defense is not even a valid reason to purchase a gun in these countries.

Anonymous Begins Exposing Politicians with Ties to the KKK
Over the last week, the hacktivist group known as Anonymous has been saying that they will expose some 1,000 United States politicians who have ties to the KKK.
On Monday morning, just past midnight, the hackers made true on their “threat.”
In a video posted to the We are Anonymous Facebook page Monday, the group began to release the names of those they claim have ties to the KKK.
In the video, Anonymous states that they are not going to release the home addresses of the politicians in fear of violent retaliation against the accused racists. But the group did release the politicians’ full name, the municipalities in which they work, and the addresses of their political offices.
While the video doesn’t come close to the promised 1,000 names, Anonymous did release a partial list.
It is rumored that Anonymous plans to release all the names on the 5th of November, also known as Guy Fawkes Night. Anonymous is synonymous with Guy Fawkes as the popular mask is used to shield the faces of its members during their broadcasts and protests.
Below is the partial list released by Anonymous as well as the video in which they were named. The list was posted with the following statement:

‘World’s most expensive gas station’ cost taxpayers $43M
“The DOD charged the American taxpayer $43 million for what is likely the world’s most expensive gas station,” Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) John Sopko said, ahead of the release of the SIGAR report today. “DOD spent $43 million on the gas station, without determining it would be a good idea, and now claims it knows nothing about the project.”
The SIGAR report details the planning and construction of a compressed natural gas (CNG) station in the Afghan city of Sheberghan, part of a larger Downstream Gas Utilization Project designed to take advantage of Afghanistan’s natural gas reserves. The gas station itself was meant to prove that CNG stations were a viable alternative to imported petroleum for Afghan vehicles.
SIGAR found that in other countries, for example in Pakistan next door, the total cost for constructing a CNG station can be up to $500,000 — not the astronomical $43 million the DOD paid.

Adams County rancher shot and killed by deputies
COUNCIL, Idaho -- Idaho State Police are investigating after a Council rancher was shot and killed Sunday by deputies with the Adams County Sheriff's Office.
The incident began when a Subaru station wagon crashed into a bull on US 95 north of Council at about 6:45 p.m. Emergency responders and Adams County deputies responded and were working to extricate the two people inside the car. Adams County Sheriff Ryan Zollman said the bull, which was injured in the collision, started charging at emergency responders and other vehicles.
"The bull was very agitated and was aggressive to emergency services, as well as the other cars coming up and down the highway," he said.
Deputies were getting ready to put the animal down when the bull's owner, 62-year-old Jack Yantis, arrived on the scene with a rifle. Zollman said dispatchers had called Yantis after the crash, telling him that the bull that was hit appeared to be his, and was down on the highway near his house.
What happened next is still under investigation, but Zollman said there was an altercation and Yantis and both deputies all fired their weapons.

Machine #2 At Asbury Church Malfunctioning
Man, 22, found dead on Eastern Shore was killed in Baltimore County, body moved
Court documents in the killing of a missing Baltimore man whose body was found on the Eastern Shore last week show he was fatally stabbed in Baltimore County while with friends, who later moved his body.
Damon Jennings, 22, a stylist, was reported to have been last seen Oct. 15 with friends leaving a restaurant in Baltimore County, and was missing for two weeks until his body was found Friday on a rural roadside in Eden, Md.
Those friends have now been charged in his killing. Elijah Carroll, 22, and Jazzmine Morton, 21, are charged with first-degree murder and they are being held without bond in Baltimore County. State police said a third person, Kevin Nixon, 22, was charged with accessory after the fact to second-degree murder and is being held in Somerset County on $100,000 bond.
In court documents, police wrote that a wire transfer receipt in Nixon's name was found with Jennings' body. Nixon told investigators that the group was together when Carroll asked Nixon to pull over his vehicle in the area of Warren and Poplar Hill roads in Phoenix, Md.

Religious Accommodation, or Political Favoritism?
For the Obama administration, some religious accommodations are, to borrow a phrase, “more equal than others.”
In Illinois, a jury awarded two Muslim truck drivers $240,000 in damages and back pay after their claims that being forced to transport alcohol constituted religious discrimination were upheld by U.S. District Court Judge James E. Shadid, a Barack Obama appointee. The Somalian Muslims, Mahad Abass Mohamed and Abdkiarim Hassan Bulshale, worked for the Star Transport trucking company based in Morton, Illinois, and were fired in 2009.
Shadid made his ruling in March, when Star Transport admitted liability. Yet the most telling element of the case was that both men were represented by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which took up the case in 2013.
The EEOC asserted Star Transport had violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which requires accommodations for employees' religious convictions provided those accommodations do not present an “undue hardship.” The EEOC insisted its investigation revealed the trucking company “could have readily avoided assigning these employees to alcohol delivery without any undue hardship, but chose to force the issue despite the employees' Islamic religion.”
A jarring note of boasting was added by EEOC General Counsel David Lopez following the decision:
“EEOC is proud to support the rights of workers to equal treatment in the workplace without having to sacrifice their religious beliefs or practices,” he said. “This is fundamental to the American principles of religious freedom and tolerance.”

Atheist: Okay to Disparage Christians, But Islam Off-Limits Because of ‘Fear’
(CNSNews) – An atheist professor said Tuesday that it’s acceptable to criticize Christians but not Muslims, because he does not “fear” retaliation from Christians.
“I know what keeps me from critiquing Islam on my blog is just fear,” Phil Zuckerman said at a discussion on religious liberty at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. “I’ve got three kids.
“So I know I can say anything about Christianity or Mormonism, and I’m not living in fear, which is a testament to Christianity and Mormonism, and that’s wonderful. Thank you,” said Zuckerman, who is a self-described atheist and professor of secular studies at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif.
Kirsten Powers, a Democratic pundit, recent convert to Catholicism and author of the book “How the Left Is Killing Free Speech,” said at the event that she does not understand why Muslims can oppose same-sex marriage and not be targeted by the Left for it, but calling out Christians for their beliefs is acceptable.

“I know what keeps me from critiquing Islam on my blog is just fear,” Phil Zuckerman said at a discussion on religious liberty at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. “I’ve got three kids.
“So I know I can say anything about Christianity or Mormonism, and I’m not living in fear, which is a testament to Christianity and Mormonism, and that’s wonderful. Thank you,” said Zuckerman, who is a self-described atheist and professor of secular studies at Pitzer College in Claremont, Calif.
Kirsten Powers, a Democratic pundit, recent convert to Catholicism and author of the book “How the Left Is Killing Free Speech,” said at the event that she does not understand why Muslims can oppose same-sex marriage and not be targeted by the Left for it, but calling out Christians for their beliefs is acceptable.

Berlin Ag Parcel, Former Golf Course Sold At Foreclosure Auction
The large piece of land known as the Davis-Taylor farm and the adjacent Beach Club Golf Course were both featured in a trustees’ sale hosted by Atlantic Auctions at the Atlantic Hotel Oct. 30. The farmland brought $1.25 million while the golf course brought $1.3 million. Both properties were purchased by investors from across the Bay Bridge.
“I have no plans yet,” said Adham Abouassali, the Frederick resident who purchased the farmland. “I was interested in it because it’s incorporated with the town.”
Abouassali was the winning bidder on the 245-acre piece of farmland, which is made up of four smaller parcels north of Route 50. In all, the land was advertised to contain 191 tillable acres, 160 acres zoned industrial and a remaining 85 acres zoned residential.

Deputy AG: It's 'Our Social Responsibility as Citizens' to Give Jobs to Ex-Cons'
(CNSNews) - "It’s hard enough to find a job; just imagine if you have 'convicted felon' on your resume," the nation's deputy attorney general told a gathering at Columbia Law School last week.
In a pitch for criminal justice reform, Sally Quillian Yates said it's "part of our social responsibility as citizens" to ease convicted criminals' transition from prison to a productive life -- and that includes a willingness to hire them.
"While some companies have demonstrated a willingness to look past an applicant’s criminal history, there are more employers who won’t even give an ex-offender a chance to compete. Beyond job opportunities, we need more businesses to take an active role in the re-entry process. We need companies to partner with prisons and re-entry programs, to help ex-offenders move seamlessly from prison life to a productive life.
"Building safe communities is not solely the responsibility of law enforcement. We all have an obligation, as citizens, to give those returning to society an opportunity, just a fighting chance, to live the lives we have.
"So I challenge – and you should challenge – businesses and individuals to see this as part of our social responsibility as citizens – as a necessary step to create a safer and more stable society. It is possible, but only if we convince them to think differently."
(Among the options under consideration -- removing the checkbox on job applications that tell an employer if an applicant has a criminal record.)

Noonan: The Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time Bush
Like Scott Walker, Jeb couldn’t rise to the demands of the national stage.
We’ll begin with what went wrong with the Republican debate in Boulder, Colo., then look at what went wrong with Jeb Bush.
CNBC’s debate moderators have famously come under fire for questions, statements and a tone that were obnoxious. They were. The moderators seemed intent on trivializing the field. When you say, “Candidate A, you have criticized Candidates B and C, turn to them now and tell them why they’re dopes,” you are presenting yourself as the puppet master and them as puppets. They must either attack their colleagues as instructed and look weak, or push back against the moderator in a way open to charges of defensiveness and cynicism. They can’t win. (Though later one did.)
There’s nothing wrong with mischief from debate moderators, but this was dumb mischief, plonkingly obvious in its ideological hostility. What’s your greatest weakness? Should fantasy football be regulated? These questions were merely shallow.
To Jeb Bush: “Governor, the fact that you’re at the fifth lectern tonight shows how far your stock has fallen in this race, despite the big investment your donors have made.”
Donald Trump uncorking a taunt, right? No! It was moderator John Harwood! He followed up: “Ben Bernanke, who was appointed Fed chairman by your brother, recently wrote a book in which he said he no longer considers himself a Republican because the Republican Party has given in to know-nothing-ism. Is that why you’re having a difficult time in this race?”

Montgomery County park slaying prompts review of suspect’s parole
The two young men arrested in connection with an Oct. 8 slaying in a Montgomery County park have lengthy arrest records.
One of the men was on parole at the time of the killing. The other received what a Montgomery judge called “an extremely light” sentence in 2011 after being accused of choking a man, robbing him and trying to toss him off a second-floor balcony.
It is impossible to say whether the suspects, Earl Bennette, 24, and Shante Gladden, 22, should both have been behind bars on Oct. 8. Cases against them included an important witness backing out and challenges in knowing exactly what happened when crimes occurred. But in Bennette’s past, key moments when he could have been sent back to state prison came and went.

Remington Enters Pocket Pistol Market with the RM380
On November 2, Remington Arms Company entered the pocket pistol marketplace with the release of the RM380.
As the name suggests, the RM380 is chambered in .380 auto. It is a double action only (DAO) semi-automatic pistol that weighs in about 12.2 ounces unloaded–12.7 ounce with a Crimson Trace laser affixed. The pistol holds six rounds in the magazine and a seventh round in the chamber.
Breitbart News has had an RM380 for about four weeks for the purposes of testing, shooting, and carrying the pistol concealed to get a feel for it. After a few hundred rounds and daily carry almost nonstop since receiving the gun, we found the gun accurate, ultra-reliable, and so light that carrying it in the front pocket of a pair of cargo shorts is comfortable to the point that you do not even notice you are carrying a gun.
The RM380 has no external safety. Instead, the long trigger pull associated with a DAO pistol fills that role. In fact, for people used to shooting guns like those from Glock or the Smith & Wesson M&P line, the trigger pull on the RM380 will feel noticeably long at first. But as you shoot the pistol you soon figure out how far back you can quickly pull the trigger before slowing and completing the action to release the hammer and fire a round.

100 U.S. cities beg Obama for more Muslim refugees
It’s an issue that’s close to her heart, but the argument she uses is not new. It’s the same line that is touted by the mayors of other cities, mostly in the Rust Belt, like Baltimore, Minneapolis, Detroit and Pittsburgh.
They crave a steady flow of new immigrants and refugees, they say, because their economies depend on it. Too many of the native-born middle class whites have long since departed for the suburbs.
Baltimore, for instance, has lost a third of its population since 1950. Detroit has lost almost half of its population, and Pittsburgh has also struggled.

The Justice Department and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Announce New Juvenile Re-Entry Assistance Program
New Re-Entry Program Aims to Reduce Barriers to Public Housing, Employment and Educational Opportunities
In an effort to reduce barriers for justice-involved youth, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) today announced a new Juvenile Re-Entry Assistance Program: a $1.7 million initiative to help Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) and legal assistance organizations address challenges to housing and employment among justice-involved individuals.
Through the Juvenile Re-entry Assistance Program (JRAP), DOJ and HUD are working collaboratively to help individuals that have paid their debt to society rehabilitate and reintegrate back into their communities. This program specifically excludes those who are convicted of making methamphetamine drugs, sex offenses or domestic violence.
"The Department of Justice is committed to giving justice-involved youth the tools they need to become productive members of society," said Attorney General Loretta Lynch. "Providing meaningful support through housing opportunities, prevention programs and other critical services is vital to our ongoing efforts to reduce recidivism, promote public safety and foster positive results in communities across the country."
As Benghazi inquiry fades, Clinton still faces legal questions about emails
WASHINGTON Hillary Clinton appears to have overcome an investigation of her role in the 2012 deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, but she still faces a months-long FBI inquiryinto the handling of sensitive information while she was secretary of state.
The FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, which opened its review this summer afterclassified information was found in emails transmitted over Clinton’s private email server,is under pressure to act quickly, as Clinton is in the midst of running for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016.
Attorneys who have handled classified information cases say the bureau, initially asked to examine whether Clinton’s arrangement compromised national security secrets, ultimately will have to consider whether she and her aides failed to sufficiently safeguard sensitive information.
They disagree about whether there’s enough evidence to prosecute her or her aides for sending and receiving government messages over the personal email system. routed through a private computer server in the basement of her New York home.
But most who spoke to McClatchy say it’s unlikely the former first lady, senator and Cabinet secretary will face charges because of her high profile and the hurdle to prove she knew the emails contained classified information when she sent them to others.
“She’s too big to jail,” said national security attorney Edward MacMahon Jr., who represented former CIA employee Jeffrey Sterling in 2011 in a leak case that led to an espionage prosecution and 3½-year prison term. He cited a pattern of light punishments for top government officials who have mishandled classified information while lower level whistleblowers such as Sterling have faced harsh prosecutions for revealing sensitive information to expose waste, fraud or abuse in government.

5 Hillary scandals the media is missing
Hillary Clinton can condemn Republicans as her “enemies,” dismiss the Veterans Administration scandal as “not widespread,” and get caught lying about what she knew about Benghazi and when she knew it — but the mainstream media doesn’t seem to give a damn.
They’ve ignored those stories in favor of articles about how Hillary has come through her email scandal with flying colors. They’ve crowned her as her party’s presidential nominee three months before the first primary caucus. And they’ve given her a pass on all the other scandals that tarnished her tenure as secretary of state.

It’s about time these reporters got serious about covering Hillary and redeemed their reputation.
With that in mind, I hereby offer a guide to five Hillary stories that haven’t gotten the proper coverage they deserve.

New State Documents Show Quick White House Effort to Link Benghazi to Internet Video
Judicial Watch has released new State Department documents that raise more questions about the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission at Benghazi, Libya. The documents show the White House contacted YouTube over an Internet video as one of its first moves after the initial attack.
The documents, from the agency’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, were provided to Judicial Watch in response to a court order in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on October 16, 2014, (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:14-cv-01733)). The lawsuit seeks “any and all logs, reports, or other records” the Washington-based Diplomatic Security Command Center produced between September 10, 2012, and September 13, 2012, relating to the terrorist attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya.”
The documents detail that only three hours after the initial attack on U.S. personnel in Benghazi, the White House contacted YouTube in an apparent effort to initially blame the assault on an obscure “Pastor John video,” rather than filmmaker Nakoula “Mark” Basseley Nakoula. The administration falsely claimed that Nakoula’s video, “Innocence of Muslims,” provoked the attack. The email also references the involvement of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (Judicial Watch, through separate litigation, previously uncovered documents that show Obama White House officials set Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi response):

Democrats Call For Restoring $68M In Education Funding
House Speaker Michael Busch and Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller said the surplus means it’s wrong for the governor to refuse to spend $68 million that lawmakers set aside in the last legislative session to fully fund an education funding formula that steers more money to parts of the state where education costs more.
“We’re asking the governor to take the money that’s already been appropriated by the Maryland General Assembly, release it to the school systems, let them use it in the classroom, make sure the resources are there for every child in the state of Maryland,” Busch, D-Anne Arundel, said.
Miller said while he considers the governor a friend, he was standing against Hogan’s position not to spend the money.

Left-Liberals Love Election Fraud
Voter ID laws have been challenged because liberal Democrats deem them racist. I guess that’s because they see blacks as being incapable of acquiring some kind of government-issued identification. Interesting enough is the fact that I’ve never heard of a challenge to other ID requirements as racist, such as those: to board a plane, open a charge account, have lab work done or cash a welfare check. Since liberal Democrats only challenge legal procedures to promote ballot-box integrity, the conclusion one reaches is that they are for vote fraud prevalent in many Democrat-controlled cities.
There is another area where the attack on ballot-box integrity goes completely unappreciated. We can examine this attack by looking at the laws governing census taking. As required by law, the U.S. Census Bureau is supposed to count all persons in the U.S. Those to be countedinclude citizens, legal immigrants and non-citizen long-term visitors. The law also requires that illegal immigrants be a part of the decennial census. The estimated number of illegal immigrants ranges widely from 12 million to 30 million. Official estimates put the actual number closer to 12 million.
Both citizens and non-citizens are included in the census and thus affect apportionment counts. Counting illegals in the census undermines one of the fundamental principles of representative democracy — namely, that every citizen-voter has an equal voice. Through the decennial census-based process of apportionment, states with large numbers of illegal immigrants, such as California and Texas, unconstitutionally gain additional members in the U.S. House of Representatives thereby robbing the citizen-voters in other states of their rightful representation.

THE BEST SLAVE IS ONE WHO THINKS HE IS FREE...
Saul Alinsky died about 43 years ago, but his writings influenced those in political control of our nation today.......
Died: June 12, 1972, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Ca
Education: University of Chicago
Spouse: Irene Alinsky
Books: Rules for Radicals, Reveille for Radicals
Recall that Hillary did her college thesis on his writings and Obama writes about him in his books.
Anyone out there think that this stuff isn't happening today in the U.S.?
All eight rules are currently in play
.
How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky:
There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important.
1) Healthcare– Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control– Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income)
6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools
8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
Does any of this sound like what is happening to the United States ?
Alinsky merely simplified Vladimir Lenin's original scheme for world conquest by communism, under Russian rule.
Stalin described his converts as "Useful Idiots."
The Useful Idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control.
It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S.
If people can read this and still say everything is just fine… they are “useful idiots.
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere."
Marijuana decriminalization blamed for murder spike in Prince George's Co.
Now, Maryland State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks is refusing to be interviewed to explain her comments. A spokesman said her ideas on decriminalization and violence are only theories that have not yet been proven by crime statistics.
Alsobrooks' comments fly against popular opinion. Decriminalization, which reduces possession of small amounts of marijuana to the level of a traffic ticket, is supported by a majority of Marylanders. The measure is particularly popular in Prince George's, where there is concern that the lives of too many African-American young men have been derailed by low-level, non-violent drug convictions.

Troopers Investigate Vehicle Crash Involving a School Bus
The incident occurred around 6:45 a.m. today, Tuesday November 3, 2015, as Wendy Lewis, 47 of Milford, was operating a 2005 Chevy Tahoe southbound on Old Shawnee Road in the area of Brook Lane directly behind a school bus. Chelsea Carr, 27 of Milford, was operating 2008 IC Corp School Bus and was stopping to pick up students at the next bus stop. As the bus lights were transitioning from yellow to red, the Tahoe failed to stop and struck the rear of the bus with the front bumper.
Wendy Lewis was transported to Milford Memorial Hospital by EMS where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. She was cited for Inattentive Driving and no seatbelt.
Chelsea Carr and one student,16 of Milford, on board the bus were uninjured in the collision.
