NOAA: Tropical Depression #8
WICOMICO COUNTY EXECUTIVE ROBERT CULVER VIOLATES THE CHARTER AND FOUR MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL APPROVE IT
It seems when the COUNTY COUNCIL approved the WOR WIC TUITION FUND there wasn't enough information available, so the money was moved into the contingency account. This would give the Council enough time to sort out all the details of this left wing liberal program and make any needed changes.
The trouble is, Culver and two of the Council members, Matt Holloway and John Cannon attended a check presentation long before the monies had been moved or even approved thus violating the WICOMICO COUNTY CHARTER. To be noted, a real check was given to the COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR $265.000.00 If you go to the WICOMICO COUNTY website and look up the Charter, it is very, very clear that no monies are to be transferred from the contingency fund without a vote from the County Council.
So, what's a bunch of liberals to do when they break the rules? They "CODIFY" it! JOHN CANNON'S statement in the INDEPENDENT to "CODIFY" interestingly means to organize procedures or rules into a system. Does this mean that this is going to be the normal mode of operation from now on? If so, what will happen to our democratic form of government that has been in place in WICOMICO COUNTY for over 100 years?
A Charter violation should be considered a serious matter. However, when it is done for a program as liberal as the WOR WIC TUITION it seems easy that the members who voted for this program are willing to let the matter slide, basically to cover their own asses. What really is bewildering is that the lawyer that the Council hired also said that the Charter has been violated yet four Council Members (JOHN CANNON, MATT HOLLOWAY, JOHN HALL & ERNEST DAVIS) chose not to pursue any further action.
Questions need to be asked as to why this deviation in procedure has taken place, been excused and swept under the rug.
Marijuana bust: Crucial mission or waste of time?
Officers from 10 law enforcement groups confiscated 107 marijuana plants worth an estimated $214,000. MILTON POLICE DEPARTMENT
A police operation that uncovered marijuana plants in Sussex County has been hit with a backlash of criticism on social media.
Numerous commenters wrote that the 2-month investigation involving 10 law enforcement groups was a waste of time and money, and many called for police to focus instead on the heroin epidemic and child molesters.
“Pot??? Come on, let's do something about the heroin issue. Waste of resources,” wrote one of 115 commentors, all but a handful opposed to the counterdrug effort dubbed Operation Summer Harvest.
Milton Police Chief Robert J. Longo headed the operation that included officers from Ocean View, Dagsboro, Georgetown, Selbyville, Delmar, the Delaware National Guard, Delaware State Police and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.

Am I Crazy? (Part 1)
However, people weren't coming in by the hundreds of thousands or even millions at a clip. Many of the people Obama and Hillary want here are people who want to change every aspect of our way of life. The Liberal agenda seems to be more about overloading America with people who wouldn't mind capitalism. Heck, it's a lot better then where they came from.
The next thing we knew, laws are changing. Statues are being torn down. God is being taken away as if God is an insult. When we grew up we stood proud to recite the pledge of allegiance. We learned the Constitution, Bill of Rights and so on.
You are welcome to add your thoughts here in comments as to the massive changes you have seen. This article will seem long enough as it is but I think you're getting my drift.
Donald Trump comes along and the absolute FEAR he has placed on this Liberal Agenda is scaring the crap out of them. We have shown the farce time and time again how Hillary isn't truly drawing in large crowds to her rallies, yet Trump is filling football stadiums. The Liberal Media seems to be scrounging for their last breath because the major majority of Americans no longer believe what they're feeding us. The Blogs are getting threatened towards silence. Many of our Amendments are also being threatened. This is NOT the America we were raised in.
Mass shootings start coming out of nowhere and now they want to take away guns. There are military drills happening all across America, even in Mardela. Our law enforcement agencies are being handed military equipment. Am I crazy, am I missing something, is this normal?
Billions of dollars are disappearing that can't be accounted for, REALLY? Could it be that the upcoming presidential election is going to be rigged and they're afraid Americans might revolt? If you think for one second our government doesn't plan 10 years in advance for things, well, you are nuts. The writing is on the wall for some massive changes. In the past we have seen massive genocide around the World and we weren't running to those countries and bringing those people to the United States to offer them a better life. Instead, we're bringing people here, (again) who do not believe in our values and laws. These people are demanding we change our laws to suit their wants and needs.
To me it seems obvious, our government is forcing change down our throats right before our very eyes and the media is praising and supporting these changes as if what we have enjoyed in the past isn't/wasn't good enough.
I Forgot To Mention In My Earlier Article (Part 2)
Once he understood where I was going with my question he just sat there and said, I don't know.
I replied, well Pop, here's what I see. Let's see now, there's the new copper frying pan. Then there's the protective covers for your dining room table, just like Grandma used to have. Let's not forget the multiple plug in outlets. ISN'T AMERICA GREAT PEOPLE?
While we used to MANUFACTURE so many of the above creations, we just don't do so any more. Instead we import products because we sent everything overseas where it could be manufactured for peanuts and AMERICA could no longer compete. The Liberals then created the phrase, "we're a throw away society". No, Idiots, we're FOOLS! We've elected and allowed Idiots who know NOTHING about business encourage FREE TRADE. We drove our country completely out of competition and rather then being PROUD, while we dream up new ideas, what we get in the end are copper frying pans, table covers and multiple plug adapters.
It's time we rid ourselves of these IDIOT politicians who have NO CLUE about running a business. It's time we scream at them when they run for office and claim their main platform is JOBS! The next time you hear some Idiot claim they want to bring in jobs, demand they tell you HOW because they're ALL full of crap.
When you have a County Executive giving away Impact Fees, stop being so stupid and realize, SOMEONE has to pay for that water and sewer hookup, repave the roads, pay for the traffic lights and pay the salaries of the county employees approving such developments. That's right, YOU the taxpayer will now foot the bill for that shiny new home being built. Commercial developers are laughing all the way to the Bank. Politicians know NOTHING about economic development.
DONALD TRUMP DOES!

An Interesting Comment Worthy Of A Post
When you work in the bubble that is the Executive's office, you think you are wildly popular and invincible apparently. They are all in for a rude awakening. Whenever I'm involved in a conversation and county government comes up, people are invariably negative and think Culver and his staff are out of touch with the majority of the people. He is certainly not living up to his campaign promises. You can tell the difference of someone who is working for the good of the people and one who is working to try and keep his job. You better hope the Democrats will vote for you Culver, because you are losing lots of Republican votes.

IOC reviews Old Bay as potential enhancement
The U.S. finished with 121 overall medals (46 gold, 37 silver and 38 bronze) and of the total Maryland brought home 14 gold medals, three silver and one bronze. Eight of the individual 14 medals came home to Montgomery County alone. This incredible showing has only five countries winning more medals than Maryland itself..
An awesome accomplishment for all the athletes and in particular the American participants.

Mom Sees SICK Thing Teacher Gave Her Child, Sends “Special” Message Back
When Tara Cali went to open up her son’s history textbook to help with his homework, she noticed the lesson was all about Islam. For the actual homework assignment, students were asked to write down the “Pillars of Islam” and “Islamic Beliefs and Rituals.”
That’s not all though. There was even a code students could scan with their smart phone to hear a Muslim prayer in action.
Cali wrote an epic message back to the teacher on the actual worksheet. She was tremendously upset, and rightly so. Her son is being indoctrinated with Islam. Learning about other cultures is fine, but when a homework assignment is dedicated to learning Muslim prayers, something is wrong.

U.S. Navy calls high-speed approach by Iranian ships dangerous harassment
William Urban, a spokesman for the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, said the four vessels from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps conducted a “high-speed intercept” and passed close to the USS Nitze, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, in international waters around the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday.
The Iranian ships ignored repeated radio, whistle and flare warnings from the Nitze and slowed their approach only when they were within 300 yards of the U.S. ship, Urban said. He described the Iranian actions as “unsafe and unprofessional.”

Question: Should middle-schoolers be forced to walk up to 1.5 miles to school?
The policy states that elementary students living less than one mile from school grounds will not get bussed to-or-from class. The distance threshold is set at one-and-a-half miles for middle schoolers, and two miles for high schoolers.
Madiaw Diop and his wife have three children in the MCPS system. They live in a basic apartment complex along Glenville Road, approximately one mile from Eastern Middle School in Silver Spring.
The walk to EMS, which includes crossing busy University Boulevard East, takes roughly 20 minutes door-to-door. In addition to time, Diop says frigid temperatures, oppressive heat, rain and unshoveled sidewalks make the daily trek dangerous.

Mylan Execs Gave Themselves Raises As They Hiked EpiPen Prices
Proxy filings show that from 2007 to 2015, Mylan CEO Heather Bresch's total compensation went from $2,453,456 to $18,931,068, a 671 percent increase. During the same period, the company raised EpiPen prices, with the average wholesale price going from $56.64 to $317.82, a 461 percent increase, according to data provided by Connecture.
In 2007 the company bought the rights to EpiPen, a device used to provide emergency epinephrine to stop a potentially fatal allergic reaction and began raising its price. In 2008 and 2009, Mylan raised the price by 5 percent. At the end of 2009 it tried out a 19 percent hike. The years 2010-2013 saw a succession of 10 percent price hikes.

Questions About First-Place Billfish Lead To White Marlin Open’s Top Prize Of $2.8M Being Withheld
On Tuesday, Aug. 9, angler Phil Heaseley and the crew on the “Kallianassa” out of Naples, Fla. pulled into host Harbour Island with a white marlin to weigh shortly after the scale opened for business at 4 p.m. The big white was hauled up the scale and topped out at 76.5 pounds, and Heaseley and the “Kallianassa” cozied into the top spot on the leaderboard with the one and only qualifier up to that point early in the tournament.
However, it was only Tuesday and Heaseley and the “Kallianassa” had to sweat out three more days with white marlin practically jumping in the tournament boats during the 2016 WMO during which release records were shattered.

Legislative Black Caucus: Hogan should intervene in medical cannabis licenses
"I am completely disappointed with the medical marijuana commission and the decision that they have made in terms of awarding licenses," said Del. Cheryl D. Glenn, chairwoman of the black caucus. "Clearly, there was no effort at all to factor in minority participation and make sure that it's inclusive of everybody in the state of Maryland."
Members of the black caucus and others have raised concerns that the 15 preliminary licenses for growing medical cannabis and the 15 licenses for processing the drug, which were awarded this month, mostly went to companies led by white men. Lawmakers and some losing applicants are mulling legal action.

White Lives Matter Protest At NAACP Building
The protesters also waved confederate flags, and some carried rifles, while one of them shouted through a bullhorn.
“We came here because the NAACP headquarters is here and that’s one of the most racist groups in America,” Scott Lacy, a spokesman with the group, stated.
Ken Reed, another member, said Black Lives Matter and other organizations have resulted in the “attack and killing of police officers, the burning down of cities and things of that nature. If they’re going to be a civil rights organization and defend their people,” he said, “they also need to hold their people accountable.”

USA TODAY Sports investigation raises questions about Rio cops, Lochte incident
Lochte has admitted he exaggerated his initial description of how the four men were stopped in their taxi and robbed by men who flashed badges, as well as his sensational allegation of a gun being held to his forehead.
But a narrative of the night’s events – constructed by USA TODAY Sports from witness statements, official investigations, surveillance videos and media reports – supports Lochte’s later account in which he said he thought the swimmers were being robbed when they were approached at a gas station by armed men who flashed badges, pointed guns at them and demanded money.
A Brazilian judge says police might have been hasty in determining the security guards, by how they dealt with the swimmers, did not commit a robbery. A lawyer who has practiced in Brazil for 25 years says she does not think the actions of Lochte and teammate Jimmy Feigen constitute the filing of a false police report as defined under Brazilian law

Donald Trump Appeals to Black Voters: 'What Do You Have to Lose by Trying Something New?'
"If African-American voters give Donald Trump a chance by giving me their vote, the result for them will be amazing"
Donald Trump made his second appeal this week to African-Americans to vote for him in November’s general election.
“If African-American voters give Donald Trump a chance by giving me their vote, the result for them will be amazing,” the Republican presidential nominee said during a rally at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“What do you have to lose by trying something new? I will fix it,” said Trump, who’s been struggling to attract black voters. “This means so much to me, and I will work as hard as I can to bring new opportunity to places in our country which have not known opportunity in a very long time.”

Muslim Refugees REFUSING To Work, Saying “Guests Shouldn’t Have To”

| Refugees At These Camps Have Refused All Job Offerings |
An initiative was started to help provide jobs to a large majority of the immigrants and refugees around the globe. The initiative revolves around the idea that we could lower the “refugee burden” by having them work for the food, shelter, stipends, and other benefits they are receiving.
These Muslim refugees are being allowed into the United States as well as Europe. Yet, they won’t even consider helping out. Instead they want to be treated as “guests.” They are taking entitlement to a whole new level.

Where Was Everybody?
Over the last week, Donald Trump expanded his upper campaign management while sadly, taking the resignation of his trusted advisor, Paul Manafort. This happening on the day when Trump decided to make an impromptu visit to Louisiana, an area that's been ravaged by flooding due to rain.
Clearly, this is the biggest catastrophe for the state since Katrina in 2005. However, even with newspapers begging for him to visit and remembering his damning remarks regarding former President Bush's fly over, it seems Obama was too busy vacationing in Martha's Vineyard, hobnobbing with the rich and famous while playing golf, to be worried about doing his 'presidential duty' and Hillary Clinton took the weekend to 'rest' after her big week on the campaign trail.
Friday morning, along with his VP nominee, Governor Mike Pence, Trump arrived in Louisiana with very little fanfare. In fact, many in the media as well as Clinton spewed he did it for publicity reasons, even though he didn't bring his press core with him and requested no press to be present during much of his visit. Democrat Louisiana governor, John Bel Edwards, stated there would be no photo op moments with him should Trump visit and he was demonstratively absent during the entire visit. However, in his statement, Bel Edwards's office did say he was more than happy to take Trump's money. (What else is new?)
Trump and Pence didn't arrive empty-handed.
THIS is the Donald Trump New Yorkers know, respect and love. The altruistic man of the people who is willing to help when and wherever he can without the media hype.
After they unloaded the truck, Trump and Pence toured many homes as well as a local church and school. The damage was extensive and many lost everything. What few cameras were present were forbidden to go with him as he met privately with many families one on one. And during the tour, both were solemn as they surveyed the damage.
Since his visit, media still chastises him for his trip, claiming he did it for publicity even there was zero photo ops and pictures of the visit are scarce. Clinton has yet to make an appearance even though we now know her rest includes attending some ritzy fundraiser tonight in Nantucket, hosted by Cher.
For Hillary Clinton, her actions only further alienate her from voters as many are re-thinking their vote for her. Like the reputation she's earned in instances like Haiti, it seems she's more concerned about winning an election rather than actual human suffering.
As for Trump, many are saying he became the next President of the United States last Friday! I'd have to say, I completely concur!
UPDATE: Just confirmed, the truckload of loot and truck were paid for by Trump personally and was in no way connected to his campaign or GOP funding.
The Conservative Student's Survival Guide
Fall semester is upon us, and while most freshmen look forward to starting their college years, conservative students have reason to feel more than a little anxiety; they know they will be subjected to a constant stream of Leftist dogma, in their classrooms and all around campus, by their professors, by activist student groups, and even by their friends. Fortunately, they are not alone. As Matthew Woessner, Associate Professor of Political Science at Penn State University, Harrisburg, explains in this week’s video, there are simple tips that every conservative student should keep in mind.
