WIKILEAKS BOMBSHELL: Racist Hillary Trashes African Americans – Calls Them Losers

On Friday Wikileaks released clips of Clinton’s paid speeches to Wall Street banks and other organizations.
Wikileaks released hundreds of emails reportedly from John Podesta, chairman of the Clinton campaign, on Friday, around 6 p.m. They promise to release more in the days ahead.
Hillary also trashed African Americans.
The main reason behind successful immigration should be painfully obvious to even the most dimwitted of observers: Some groups of people are almost always highly successful given only half a chance (Jews*, Hindus/Sikhs and Chinese people, for example), while others (Muslims, blacks** and Roma***, for instance) fare badly almost irrespective of circumstances.

Taking a stand against Gray Thursday: List of retailers who’ll close for Thanksgiving

While certain retailers are going to open even earlier on Thanksgiving this year, other stores are taking the day off entirely. Even more surprising, some stores will close their doors on Black Friday, opting to allow their employees and customers to enjoy the holiday weekend with their friends and families.

Towards the end of September, we were the first website to report that GameStop, Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, BJ’s, Nordstrom, Jo-Ann, and Patagonia would be closed on Thanksgiving. Since that report, we have confirmed over 40 additional closures.

Please see our ongoing list of Thanksgiving and Black Friday 2016 closures below.

Clinton's lead vanishes in NH as Johnson voters go to Trump

Hillary Clinton's once-strong lead over Donald Trump in New Hampshire has narrowed to just 2 percentage points in the final month before the November election, a new poll shows.

The former secretary of state edges her Republican opponent 44 to 42 percent in the latest Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll of Granite State voters, putting Trump well within the survey's 4.4 percent margin of error.

Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson secures 5 percent support, marking a steep decline from the double-digits levels of support he saw in at least three polls released since early September. Johnson has been ridiculed recently for showing a severe lack of foreign policy knowledge, a flaw that was exposed late last month when he was unable to answer a question about Aleppo, one of the oldest and most war-torn cities in Syria.

LET TROOPERS DISPOSE OF UNWANTED PRESCRIPTIONS DRUGS NATIONAL DRUG TAKE BACK DAY, October 22, 2016


(Princess Anne, MD) – The Maryland State Police in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration are asking citizens dispose of unwanted prescription drugs during the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, October 22, 2016 from 10:00 am to 2:00 p.m. at state police barracks.

State police barracks throughout Maryland will be participating in the National Drug Take Back Day. Each barrack will act as a collection station giving citizens an opportunity to dispose of all unwanted and unused prescription drugs. The National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.

Second only to marijuana, non-medical prescription drugs are the most commonly used drug in the country. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, majority of teenagers abusing prescription drugs are finding an unlimited supply in their family’s medicine cabinet.

Sean Hannity Slams Megyn Kelly, Says She 'Clearly' Supports Clinton

Fox News host Sean Hannity is lashing out at his colleague Megyn Kelly after she accused Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of avoiding interviews with her. Hannity says she “clearly” supports Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over Trump.

Hannity, who is open about his support for Trump, was responding to a claim made by Kelly that both Trump and Clinton were avoiding interviews with her because she would put them out of their comfort zone.

“Donald Trump, with all due respect to my friend at 10:00, will go on Hannity and pretty much only Hannity and will not venture out to the unsafe spaces these days, which doesn’t exactly expand the tent,” Kelly said.

Maryland tourism proves to be prosperous

Data shows some success in recalibrating in Ocean City’s advertisement areas

Maryland’s tourism industry is booming and expanding and, judging from the presentation at the Governor’s Economic Development Committee meeting in Ocean City Wednesday, there are many numbers and statistics to prove it.

“Tourism really helps with economic development. Since the great recession, jobs have bounced back in the tourism industry 18 percent, leading all industries in moving forward,” Liz Fitzsimmons, the managing director of the state’s Division of Tourism, Film and the Arts told the breakfast crowd at the Carousel.

She broke down several statistics on the state’s marketing costs and tourism revenue, arguing that the first step of stimulating local economy is to bring people across that threshold for a trip.

“Tourism does provide quality of life assurances, which is really attractive to businesses. When you think about it, economic development starts with a visit, because every business begins there – whether it’s a relocation, an expansion out just starting out,” she said.

Gen. Mike Flynn: Why Hillary's record on Libya is even worse than you think

A failed state, a terrorist haven, four dead Americans – this is the Hillary Clinton record in Libya we know about.

But new evidence -- and a review of the public record -- reveals that Hillary Clinton’s actions in Libya were not just disastrous policy, but a violation of U.S. anti-terrorism law.

A recent report to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the British House of Commons concluded that Western intervention in Libya was based on "inaccurate intelligence" and "erroneous assumptions." Advocates failed to recognize that “the threat to civilians was overstated and that the rebels included a significant Islamist element," and the failure to plan for a post-Qaddafi Libya led to the "growth of ISIL" in North Africa.

However, “inaccurate intelligence” doesn’t fully describe the whole story. A closer examination of the run-up to the Libya debacle on September 11, 2012 leads to the irrefutable conclusion that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton knowingly armed radical Islamist terrorists in Libya.

Side street cell towers?

A company hoping to erect cell phone poles, some as tall as 38 feet, in two of Ocean City’s residential areas was rebuffed Monday night by the City Council. The elected officials are also calling on residents of those neighborhoods to voice their objections as well.

City Engineer Terry McGean told the council Monday that the city staff had denied permits to install about 90 distributed antenna systems in Ocean City, citing concerns on their location and their appearance.

“We have not approved a single one of them at the local level,” McGean said. “We said that we were very strongly opposed to these installations, particularly in our residential neighborhoods where utilities are already undergrounded.”

Mobile operator company Crown Castle first approached resort officials about installing the technology to expand the city’s bandwidth to improve internet accessibility in 2015. That initial proposal sought to install new hardware on existing light and utility poles.

IRS subjects tea party groups to new round of scrutiny, publicizes tax return dataSource: The Washington TimesThe IRS‘ battle against tea party groups is heating up again, after the agency promised it would begin processing their long-delayed applications, but sent a new round of questions demanding still more information.

More jarringly, the IRS then publicly released questions it sent to the Texas Patriots Tea Party — a move the group’s lawyer says puts secret taxpayer return information out in the public.

Tim Kaine Railed Against 'Inflood Of Illegal Immigrants'

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine likes to speak in Spanish on the campaign trail in hopes of appealing to Latino voters, but it was in 2005 that he was speaking another language when he lashed out at “the immigration problem” and the “inflood of illegal immigrants” afflicting his home state of Virginia.

“I’m deeply opposed to illegal immigration,” Kaine, then Virginia’s lieutenant governor, said during an Oct. 9, 2005 Virginia gubernatorial debate against Attorney General Jerry Kilgore.

“And I call on the federal government, the president, and immigration services to stop the inflood of illegal immigrants into this country.”

The video, which can be found on C-SPAN, was brought to light by Twitter user @phillyrich1, an independent researcher who has uncovered several other examples of Democratic hypocrisy.

OC Man Admits To Operating Meth Lab Out Of Hotel

OCEAN CITY — An Ocean City man arrested in March after police located a methamphetamine lab in a room at a bayfront hotel at 59th Street pleaded guilty this week and was sentenced to five years, all of which was suspended but the time he spent in jail awaiting trial.

In March, Ocean City Police arrested Andrew Windsor, 29, of Ocean City, for allegedly operating a meth lab in one of the units of the Coconut Malorie Hotel on 59th Street. On Wednesday, Windsor pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess controlled dangerous substance (CDS) production equipment used to manufacture methamphetamine and was sentenced to five years. The judge then suspended all of the sentence but the time Windsor spent in jail awaiting trial, which was a little over six months.

Around 1 p.m. on March 13, Ocean City police and fire personnel responded to the hotel on 59th Street to investigate an individual possibly in possession of materials used to manufacture methamphetamine. OCPD officers responded to a room within the hotel and met with the suspect, identified as Windsor.

CDC Police Will Eventually Arrest the Unvaccinated as “diseased criminals”

The real op is eventual forced vaccination of everyone, carried out under police powers

As a result, I’ve been able to read their intentions for the future. I’ve been able to see where they’re heading.

Two parallel ops are going to intersect, unless they are stopped. And if they aren’t stopped, there is going to be BIG trouble.

These students, grades three through eight and high school, are tested on their English Language Arts (ELA), English 10 and math skills and are placed among the five levels of college and career readiness.

These levels range from one, did not meet expectations, to five, exceeding expectations.

All schools within Wicomico County improved its testing scores for fifth and seventh-grade math and sixth- grade ELA.

Overall, Wicomico County made significant gains greater than or equal to five percentage points in third through eighth grade math, and fourth, sixth, seventh and 10th grade ELA and English.

5 Things Hillary Clinton Has Done That Will Make You Question Her Sanity

Given the strong link between leadership and psychopathy, questioning the sanity of our future leaders might not be so preposterous. One study, for example, found high rates of superficiality, insincerity, and an inability to empathize in a number of business CEOs (one in five).

In order to be successful at the level of a world-renowned politician or head of a powerful conglomeration, one often has to take actions that can severely affect others. Being able to do so without feeling guilt or remorse is an advantage in both the business and political world.

When it comes to Hillary Clinton, she not only displays traits one would likely regard as psychotic, but she also seems to be completely off-balance in other aspects of her mental constitution, such as in documented instances where she has appeared to have lost complete control of her faculties or has compulsively lied and barked like a dog.

Let’s take a look at the evidence.

1. Execution of Muammar Gaddafi

Clinton’s leaked emails confirmed the long-held “conspiracy theory” that the plan to take out Libya’s then-dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, was motivated not by human rights concerns, but by Gaddafi’s plan to introduce a gold-backed currency that would unite the entire African continent. This currency would then be used to sell oil in the global market, and the African continent would be less reliant on the American dollar, strengthening Africa’s position in the world economy to the detriment of the NATO empire.

When Gaddafi was summarily executed by al-Qaeda-affiliated rebels on the streets of Sirte, Clinton’s response in a subsequent interview was to say “We came. We saw. He died,” before breaking out into Riddler-style laughter.

The Great Debt Unwind: Business Bankruptcies Soar 38%

Six years of Fed & Wall Street hype come home to roost

Something funny happened on the way to the bank: In August, commercial and industrial loans outstanding at all banks in the US fell for the first time month-to-month since October 2010, which had marked the end of the collapse of credit during the Financial Crisis.

In October 2008, the absolute peak of the prior credit bubble, there were $1.59 trillion commercial and industrial loans outstanding. As the Great Recession chewed into the economy, C&I loans plunged. Many of them were cleansed from bank balance sheets via charge-offs. But then the Fed decided what the US needed was more debt to fix the problem of too much debt, thus kicking off what would become the greatest credit bubble in US history. By July 2016, C&I loans had surged to $2.064 trillion, 30% above their prior bubble peak.

But in August, something stopped working: C&I loans actually fell 0.3% to $2.058 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. That translates into an annualized decline of 3.8%, after an uninterrupted six-year spree of often double-digit annualized increases. Note that first month-to-month dip since October 2010:

No credible threat found after curious Instagram posting

An Instagram post referencing a vague threat directed toward a specific class and time created a flurry of comments, posts and concern that ended up going nowhere.

On Wednesday, an unidentified individual, said to be a student of Stephen Decatur High School using the handle “timmy.the.shooter,” made the following statement online: “Have fun in Mr. Kohl’s class tomorrow 2nd period be safe.”

Carrie Sterrs, schools spokeswoman, said while it was determined that the threat was not credible, “the safety and well being of every student is a top priority, so an increased police presence was requested at the school as a precaution.”

Mass. National Guard, State Police raid 81-year-old woman's home to seize pot plant

AMHERST, Mass. - The Massachusetts National Guard and State Police reportedly joined forces to seize a single marijuana plant from an 81-year-old woman.

According to the Daily Hampshire Gazette, Margaret Holcomb had been growing the marijuana plant as a medicine. She reportedly used the marijuana to ease her arthritis and glaucoma and to help her sleep at night.

The paper reports that the plant had been growing on Holcomb's property in a raspberry patch. It was reportedly separated from her neighbors by a fence.

On September 21, a military-style helicopter and police arrived at Holcomb's home, entered her backyard and cut down the plant, theDaily Hampshire Gazette reports.

Holcomb was not home at the time, but her son and daughter were.The paper reports that Holcomb did not have a medical marijuana card. Police said the plant was in plain view.

Holcomb told the paper that she feels like her civil rights were violated and said she's ready to stand up in the case.

New emails show intersection of Clinton Foundation, State Dept., paid speeches

A new batch of emails from Hillary Clinton's time at the State Department offered fresh evidence Wednesday of the pains Clinton's staff took to accommodate her husband's paid speeches and her family's foundation — just hours after Sen. Tim Kaine dismissed the possibility that the Clinton Foundation had wielded influence over his running mate.

Emails showed Clinton's aides teamed up with the foundation to perform donor maintenance, craft messaging on key policies and put together guest lists for both diplomatic and philanthropic events. State Department staffers were often asked to advise Clinton's husband on how to handle politically-fraught speaking engagements or foundation events, such as an effort to bring the new Libyan president to a Clinton Global Initiative meeting that was held less than two weeks after the 2012 Benghazi attacks.

The trove of roughly 200 pages of records made public Wednesday was just the latest and most convincing indication that, rather than operate as an independent organization, the Clinton Foundation leaned heavily on the State Department to expand its global reach.

But authorities are unlikely to take any action against Clinton or her staff, despite the fact that they violated a Memorandum of Understanding with the White House in which they had pledged to avoid the appearance of conflicts with the foundation.

Indiana Police Raid Democrat-Connected Voter Registration Project

Indiana State Police raided the offices of Indiana Voter Registration in downtown Indianapolis, a group run by longtime Democratic operative Craig Varoga.

The raid was part of an ongoing investigation which originally started in two counties and has now spread to nine: Hendricks, Marion, Allen, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Lake, and Madison counties.

As TV station Fox 59 reports:

State police say an investigation of this nature is complex, time consuming and is expected to continue for several more weeks or months.

“Some people are having the incorrect names, with incorrect addresses, or the correct names with incorrect addresses, or the correct names with incorrect date of birth and that will come to play, if you go to vote, they’re not going to let you vote,” said ISP Sgt. Rich Myers.

'Black Lives Matter' Supporters Plan Looting Sprees as Hurricane Matthew Hits

With Hurricane Matthew set to devastate the east coast, some people are preparing to callously exploit the mayhem by going on looting sprees.

The extreme weather event is hours away from launching a “potentially catastrophic” Category 5 siege on Florida’s east coast before stretching into Georgia and South Carolina, but some are more concerned about how they can hijack the chaos to commit criminal acts.

“God Please let this hurricane hit us so I can do some looting,” tweeted one user.

Does Hillary believe Al Gore’s sexual assault accusers?

Former Vice President Al Gore is hitting the campaign trail for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, making him the second Clinton surrogate with a history of sex assault accusations.

Clinton is deploying Gore – “the very oldest of the old guard,” as CNN describes him – in a reported attempt to court millennial voters the former secretary of state has struggled to energize throughout her campaign by appealing to their purported interest in climate change.

Gore’s main claim to fame, of course, is “An Inconvenient Truth” – the Nobel Peace Prize winning documentary about global warming that film critic Phil Hall described as “a blatant intellectual fraud.”

“Clinton and aides have recently been pointing to Gore’s 2000 experience as a warning to young voters who are considering voting for third-party candidates,” Politico reports. “Gore also is a notable spokesman for the issue of climate change – a topic President Barack Obama has also been using to try to energize young voters.”

Cops And Courts – October 7, 2016


Naked Guy Lost A Bet

OCEAN CITY — A New Jersey man was arrested on indecent exposure charges last weekend for allegedly running naked across Philadelphia Avenue several times after losing a bet.

Around 3 a.m. last Friday, an off-duty Ocean City police officer was returning home when she saw a naked man running across Philadelphia Avenue near 26th Street. The off-duty officer reported the suspect, later identified as Edward Nasciemento, 22, of Clark, N.J., was carrying a towel, but would frequently and intentionally open to towel exposing his genitals and buttocks to passing motorists and pedestrians.

Another OCPD officer responded to the area and located Nasciemento on the sidewalk attempting to cover himself with the towel. According to police reports, Nasciemento was apologetic and told police he was running around naked because he lost a bet with some friends. He was arrested and charged with indecent exposure.

Bottle Thrower Busted

OCEAN CITY — A Newark, Del. man was arrested on disorderly conduct and malicious launching of a missile charges last weekend after allegedly first screaming expletives at Ocean City police and then throwing a bottle in their direction.

Around 1 a.m. last Sunday, an Ocean City Police officer was conducting a traffic stop at 94th Street and Coastal Highway when his attention was drawn to another man, later identified as Kevin Curtis, 21, of Newark, Del., yelling and screaming. According to police reports, Curtis was allegedly yelling “[expletive deleted] the cops,” and “[expletive deleted] you pigs.” The officer noted in his report Curtis was at least 50 feet away and in violation of the town’s noise ordinance.

BARELY HALF OF ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSERS CAUGHT

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Barely half of people who entered the U.S. illegally from Mexico last year were caught, according to a report commissioned by the Department of Homeland Security that also shows sharp declines in illegal entries.

The report found 54 percent of people who entered illegally between border crossings got caught in the 2015 fiscal year. That's much lower than the 81 percent success rate that Homeland Security cited publicly using a different counting method.

The 98-page report was completed in May, and Homeland Security has declined to release it. The Associated Press obtained a copy from a government official involved in border issues who acted on condition of anonymity because it has not been made public.

More Illegal Immigrant Voters Discovered In Philly - "Just The Tip Of The Iceberg"

Over the past few weeks, we've written frequently about allegations of voter fraud from around the country. The key swing state of Virginia, in particular, seems to be a hotbed of potential corruption as evidenced by the actions of 19 year old "Young Virginia Democrat", Andrew Spieles, who allegedly acted alone to re-register a bunch of dead voters in his home state (see our post here). Then there were the efforts of Virginia's governor, and long-time Clinton confidant, Terry McAuliffe to register 200,000 felons to vote.

But Virginia, isn't the only state with questionable voter registration practices. Fraudulent voter registrations have been uncovered in Colorado, where dead people were found to be voting multiple years after their death, and in Washingtonwhere the Turkish-born, non-citizen who killed five people at the Cascade Mall massacre has apparently been voting for years.

Now, the latest voter registration fraud comes from the "City of Brotherly Love" where, according to LifeZette, an investigation by Joseph Vanderhulst, an attorney with the Public Interest Legal Foundation, revealed that 86 "non-citizens" have been registered to vote in Phildelphia for years with half of them casting ballots in at least 1 election. What's worse, the only reason Philadelphia election officials were even able to identify the "non-citizen" voters was because they had self-reported that they were erroneously registered to vote after a trip to the DMV to get a drivers license. According to Vanderhulst's investigation, the DMV "errs on the side of registering voters" if there are any discrepancies on their forms.

Vanderhulst said city officials indicated they err on the side of registering voters.

"If the checked [citizenship] boxes are blank, they still register them," he said. "That's how these people are getting on the rolls … It's just too easy. Maybe it's supposed to be easy — but the price of that seems to be no discretion on the front end."

7 Times Hillary Showed She HATES The Military

One aspect of Hillary Clinton that has gone largely undiscussed through this election cycle is that she has a vicious, searing hatred for the military. If Donald Trump knew what he was doing, this would be low-hanging fruit for an attack.

Here are seven instances that reveal Clinton's hatred for the military.

1. Benghazi. As the Daily Wire has previously explained, four brave Americans died on the night of the terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, two of whom were Navy SEALs. And yet, Clinton did nothing to help them out and has lied repeatedly as to what occurred on that night. Only someone with contempt for the military would act in such a manner.

To continue on the Benghazi theme...

2. A Marine was forcibly removed when he questioned Bill Clinton about his wife's role in Benghazi. When Bill Clinton was stumping for his wife at South Carolina in February, a man identifying himself as a Marine sergeant said to Clinton, "Four (Americans) were killed and your wife is trying to cover it up." He later lamented that "the fact that she is not in prison now is mind-blowing."

No Major Incidents From H2Oi Event, But OC Statistics Confirm Busy Weekend For Police

OCEAN CITY — A slew of minors and no majors is the best way to describe last weekend’s H2O International car show presence in Ocean City from a law enforcement standpoint with over 2,500 calls for service reported but no significant incidents.

The annual H2O International (H2Oi) event is one local law enforcement officials and residents gear up for each fall as potentially the most troublesome for good reason. In years past, the event has been associated with heavy traffic, numerous incidents of unruliness and traffic violations and, in some cases, wanton disregard for the town’s ordinances.

The official event is billed essentially as a car show featuring tricked-out Volkswagens and Audis, for example, but as is the case with most of the vehicle-related special events, an in-kind number of hangers-on cause a disproportionate amount of the trouble. The H2Oi event is based at Fort Whaley in WHaleyville off Route 50 and is not sanctioned by the Town of Ocean City, but because of the resort’s close proximity to event headquarters, along with the countless hotel rooms, restaurants, bars and other amenities, most of the action, sanctioned or otherwise, takes place in Ocean City.

A Viewer Writes: RISE UP: THE LEGACY OF NAT TURNER

Joe, I came across this story about Nat Turner who you may have heard of. He is an escaped slave who recruited a group of other escaped slaves who went on a murder spree slaughtering white Virginians until he was caught. I am very surprised the National Geographic Channel is showing this and calling him a patriot and endorsing memorializing him and building monuments in his honor. They have several key players in this show and they are very racist and using the N word the way they do with an ending in "a" and not "er." It's a very scary time for America when they start allowing violence and black power and honoring people who slaughtered white Americans. This show is just like the new "Birth of a Nation" and they are rewriting History in order to justify attacks on white people. I've included the first paragraph and the URL. It was hosted by the same person, Roger Guenveur Smith who did Birth of a Nation so you know it's the same. M.O. In 1831, Nat Turner began what would turn out to be the deadliest slave rebellion in American history. Over the course of 48 hours, Turner and a group of rebel slaves killed more than 50 white men, women and children in South Hampton, Virginia.

For the First Time Ever, the Possible Grave Site of Nat Turner and Rebels Is Revealed

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In 1831, Nat Turner, an African-American slave and preacher, led a bloody slave revolt in Southampton County, Virginia. Turner is most remembered as a killer, rather than a freedom fighter driven by faith, but in RISE UP: THE LEGACY OF NAT TURNER, viewers will get a different perspective into his notorious legacy that extends beyond this rebellion. From executive producer Nate Parker, the one-hour documentary premieres on Friday, Oct. 7, at 10/9c on National Geographic Channel, coinciding with the Fox Searchlight Pictures theatrical release of critically acclaimed Sundance Jury and Audience Awards winner “The Birth of a Nation,” which is directed by Parker and is the dramatic story of this historic liberation movement.

Obama Administration Is Quietly Delaying Thousands of Deportation Cases

The Obama administration is delaying deportation proceedings for recent immigrants in cities across the United States, allowing more than 56,000 of those who fled Central America since 2014 to remain in the country legally for several more years.

The shift, described in interviews with immigration lawyers, federal officials, and current and former judges, has been occurring without public attention for months. It amounts to an unannounced departure from the administration’s widely publicized pronouncements that cases tied to the so-called surge of 2014 would be rushed through the immigration courts in an effort to deter more Central Americans from entering the United States illegally.

The delayed cases are those of nearly half of the Central Americans who entered the United States as families since 2014, and close to a quarter of the total number of Central Americans who entered during that period, according to figures from the Justice Department.

The delays are being made as a cost-saving measure, federal officials said, because of a lapse in enforcement that allowed immigrants who were supposed to be enrolled in an electronic monitoring program to go free.

FBI agents are ready to revolt over the Clinton probe

Veteran FBI agents say FBI Director James Comey has permanently damaged the bureau’s reputation for uncompromising investigations with his “cowardly” whitewash of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information using an unauthorized private email server.

Feeling the heat from congressional critics, Comey last week argued that the case was investigated by career FBI agents, “So if I blew it, they blew it, too.”

But agents say Comey tied investigators’ hands by agreeing to unheard-of ground rules and other demands by the lawyers for Clinton and her aides that limited their investigation.

“In my 25 years with the bureau, I never had any ground rules in my interviews,” said retired agent Dennis V. Hughes, the first chief of the FBI’s computer investigations unit.

“The FBI has politicized itself, and its reputation will suffer for a long time,” Hughes said. “I hold Director Comey responsible.”

Agreed retired FBI agent Michael M. Biasello: “Comey has single-handedly ruined the reputation of the organization.”

The accommodations afforded Clinton and her aides are “unprecedented,” Biasello added, “which is another way of saying this outcome was by design.” He called Comey’s decision not to seek charges “cowardly.”

Former FBI official I.C. Smith said Congress should subpoena the case’s agents to testify about the direction they received from Comey and their supervisors: “It would be interesting to see what the results would be if those involved with the investigation were questioned under oath.”

Volunteer Firefighter Shortage ‘Becoming Critical’


SNOW HILL – “It’s almost like the volunteer fireman is becoming an endangered species.”

As National Fire Prevention Week begins Sunday, Worcester County Commissioner Merrill Lockfaw took the opportunity this week to bring attention to the dwindling number of volunteers supporting the fire service. All of the county’s 10 volunteer fire companies are struggling to hang on to their members.

“Recruitment is one thing, retaining them beyond three to five years is a whole other avenue,” Worcester County Fire Marshal Jeff McMahon said.

The Worcester County Commissioners issued a proclamation Tuesday in recognition of National Fire Prevention Week Oct. 9-15. Along with the “Don’t Wait, Check the Date” smoke detector message being pushed, the commissioners shared concerns about the decline in volunteer firefighters.

“Each fire department is now suffering from a lack of membership because of the amount of time it takes,” Lockfaw said.

PHOTOS: Americans Are Freaking Out Over What Was Just Spotted On U.S. Soil

With the coming election many in America are concerned for the future of our country. One major trend that has been coming out is a series of threats by liberals and other anti-Trump protestors and even governments for what will happen if Trump is elected president. Well as the election nears there have been more and more strange sightings of things a little more than out of the ordinary. Now people are coming up with their own conclusions for what this may mean. Could this latest sighting be the early manifestations of these anti-Trump threats?

Recent concern has begun to spread like wildfire across the country after what was just spotted in the parking lot in a rural Maryland industrial complex. Pictures of the unnerving activity taking place at a Kellogg's cereal factory, that just was forced to let go a large number of employees, were posted to the Hoplite Armor Facebook page.

The photos instantly went viral and Facebook users everywhere have come up with their own theories to what this might mean.

The pictures, taken in Hagerstown, Maryland, depict a small fleet of the iconic white UN armored personnel carriers (APCs). These vehicles weren't alone, along with the APCs were several government-style black SUVs.

"I Listened To A Trump Supporter... Now I Understand"

I talked at length with a Trump supporter I grew up around. I wanted to understand. I respected her growing up. I wanted to know why a person as kind and compassionate as I remember her is voting for someone like Donald Trump.

She was a family friend, a good person. In rural Ohio, everything was tight. Money, jobs. If you really needed quick cash, she’d put you to work doing landscaping. She’d pay fairly and reliably for the area.

She’s voting for Donald Trump. I disagree with her choice, but I understand why she rejects Clinton so fiercely, and why she’s been swept up in Donald Trump’s particular brand of right-wing populism. I feel that on the left, it’s increasingly easy to ignore these people, to disregard them, to write them off as racists, bigots, or uneducated. I think that’s a loss for everyone involved, and that sometimes listening can help you to at least understand why a person is making the choices they make, so you can work on the root causes. For her, the root cause isn’t racism. In fact, I remember her as one of the only people in the area who proudly hired black workers, in a place where that was a huge issue. She fought over that choice.

But that’s enough background. Let me relay a bit of what she told me.

She’s a person who built her business from the ground up. She wasn’t rich, but was very comfortable for the area. She had a nice house, a nice car, and was stable. She achieved the American dream of not having to struggle. Things changed during the housing crisis. A landscaping business requires customers who need landscaping, and people who don’t own homes just don’t need landscaping. In some of these neighborhoods, one in five people lost their homes. That almost immediately turns a successful landscaping business into a struggling one.

Then there was a domino effect. She couldn’t pay for her lawn-care equipment leases and loans. That hurt her work efficiency. Then, she lost her car. But that didn’t stop the payments. Then, she lost her house. She slowly had to let go all of her employees, until it was just her, hand-mowing lawns for cash the way you might expect a high school student in the summertime.

Clinton sought Pentagon, State Department contracts for Chelsea's friend

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sought to arrange Pentagon and State Department consulting contracts for her daughter’s friend, prompting concerns of federal ethics rules violations.

Clinton in 2009 arranged meetings between Jacqueline Newmyer Deal, a friend of Chelsea Clinton and head of the defense consulting group Long Term Strategy Group, with Pentagon officials that involved contracting discussions, according to emails from Clinton’s private server made public recently by the State Department. Clinton also tried to help Deal win a contract for consulting work with the State Department’s director of policy planning, according to the emails.

Deal is a close friend of Chelsea Clinton, who is vice chair of the Clinton Foundation. Emails between the two were included among the thousands recovered from a private email server used by the secretary of state between 2009 and 2013. Chelsea Clinton has described Deal as her best friend. Both Clintons attended Deal’s 2011 wedding.

Government cronyism, or the use of senior positions to help family friends, is not illegal. However, the practice appears to violate federal ethics rules that prohibit partiality, or creating the appearance of conflicts of interest.

Hillary campaign chief tied to Russian money laundering

Hillary campaign chief, Clinton Foundation, in deep on international money-laundering

NEW YORK –
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager, John Podesta, was on the executive board of a client of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which is at the heart of the the Panama Papers investigation into massive global offshore money-laundering.

The company for which Podesta served as a board member, Joule, also received $35 million from a Putin-connected Russian government fund at the same time then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spearheaded the transfer of U.S. advanced technology, some with military uses, as part of her “reset” strategy with Russia, according to a report titled “From Russia With Money,” released in August by the Government Accountability Institute. “Clinton Cash” author Peter Schweizer is president of GAI, and Steve Bannon, the CEO of the Trump campaign, is a director.

Dead People And Illegal Immigrants Are Being Registered To Vote All Over America

Without free and fair elections, what hope is there for the future of America? The integrity of our voting process is of the utmost importance, and yet so little attention is being paid to it. Later this week I am going to share some documented facts about voting fraud during the 2012 election that most Americans have never even heard about, and it is absolutely imperative that we don’t allow this kind of funny business to happen again this time. Today, I am going to share some examples of how dead people and illegal immigrants are actually being registered to vote all over America. Despite very strong and very angry denials by the mainstream media, the truth is that election fraud is absolutely rampant in this country, and when someone tries to steal an election they are committing a crime against all of us.

Let’s start with what just happened in Virginia. A college student at James Madison University is under investigation for registering 19 dead people to vote so that he could vote for Hillary Clinton a whole bunch of times

Leslie Rutledge: Hillary Clinton ‘Would Lie Even When the Truth Would Serve Her Better’

Leslie Rutledge, the 56th attorney general of Arkansas and the first woman to hold that office, joined SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Wednesday’s Breitbart News Daily to offer her thoughts on the vice presidential debate.

Rutledge declared:

I thought if anyone wants to question Donald Trump’s judgment, all they have to do is look to the performance of Governor Pence and see the sort of impeccable judgment Donald Trump has when it comes to surrounding himself with smart, intelligent, articulate, caring, compassionate leaders. And Mike Pence showed he is exactly that.

“What he has done in Indiana, when he was able to lay out his record – when he wasn’t being interrupted in every sentence, and every half-sentence by Senator Kaine,” she said, “Mike Pence showed the kind of leader that Donald Trump will surround himself with, and he laid out the vision that Mr. Trump’s presidency will have.”

LEGENDARY COMMENTS BY GEORGE CHEVALLIER 10-8-16

Galvanic Batteries

This is getting away from Salisbury history a bit, but I have always found these batteries fascinating. The Boyd’s battery on the left was patented on Jan. 17, 1878, and is the more desirable of the two. TheRichardson battery followed close behind, obtaining a patent on Feb. 8, 1880. Richardson also patented his in Canada on Feb. 9, 1891.

It was common practice in the 19th century to find all kinds of medical devices touting their miracle cures. Tonics that promised to cure anything from the gout to a toothache were to be found usually with the traveling show that left that night, having cured no one. A galvanic battery was a disc to be worn around the neck and was supposed to have beneficial effects on the blood and any ailments associated with it. Even today, they are still selling bracelets of some combination of metals that are supposed to cure everything from arthritis to dropsy. Do they work? Who knows.

The Boyd’s battery is a ring of gilt brass and encircles and binds 12 small varicolored metal rounds which in turn surround a 6-scalloped 18mm copper centerpiece. The centerpiece has a gilt brass center plug. The “battery” contains 15 separate metal pieces securely adhering to each other. Along with gilt brass, there were German silver and copper plugs plus assorted other metals to round out the battery.

J. C. Boyd sold the “battery” to agents around the country for 50 cents, according to his contemporary advertising. Retail price was probably about $1. Supposedly the battery’s electric current purified the blood when it was worn around the neck. Since there are open spaces between the twelve small rounds, a loop wasn’t necessary, but, as you can see, someone put a loop on each of these to hang around the neck. They could easily be removed. Though many of these pieces must have been made, they seemed not to have survived in any quantity. They are quite scarce today.

While the Boyd’s battery is about the size of a half dollar, the Richardson battery is a full 38mm, the same size as a silver dollar. The copper, nickel alloy and lead beads are enclosed in a brass and tin circular frame with a heart shaped center.

Whether any of these devices ever worked is pure conjecture. It probably had a lot to do with a person’s own power of positive thinking and a desperate attempt to feel better. Maybe I should have worn one in 2011 and maybe I wouldn’t have had to go through so much.

Leaked Hillary Clinton Speech to Foreign Bank: 'My Dream Is a Hemispheric Common Market with Open Trade and Open Borders'

In closed-door remarks delivered to a foreign bank, Hillary Clinton declared that her “dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.”

This statement from one of Clinton’s private paid speeches was discovered in leaked emails of Clinton’s campaign chair, John Podesta, which were made public by WikiLeaks.

One email, which provided partial transcripts of some of Clinton’s speeches, reads in part:

*Hillary Clinton Said Her Dream Is A Hemispheric Common Market, With Open Trade And Open Markets. *

“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.” [05162013 Remarks to Banco Itau.doc, p. 28]

Why is College So Expensive?

From $3,400 in 1980 to $23,000 today, the average cost of a year of college has increased much faster than the average American’s income. The reason? Government-funded student loans drive up demand, which incentivizes colleges and universities to charge much more than they would if the average American had to pay for it out of his or her own pocket. Watch this week’s video on business and economics here and learn how yet another well-intentioned government program actually hurts the people it is supposed to help.

Black History Museum Ignores Clarence Thomas

Washington, DC, was abuzz with the opening of the new National Museum of African American History and Culture in September. Both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama attended the opening, and Bush was a keynote speaker due to his instrumental role in getting the museum started. The media fawned over the hug Michelle Obama gave to Bush — the “embrace seen around the world,” as The New York Times called it. But the bipartisanship appears to have been a phony veneer.

There’s a glaring and outrageous omission from the museum’s displays: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. To add insult to injury, an exhibit on blacks in the 1990s includes prominent placement for Anita Hill, who accused Thomas of sexual harassment and was a key pawn in Democrats' shameful “high-tech lynching” of Thomas during his confirmation hearings.

His omission from the museum was a deliberate decision based upon the abhorrent leftist narrative that blacks who aren’t Democrat really aren’t authentically black.

Clinton ‘victims’ beginning to roar

New foundation, website, giving voice to casualties of Hillary's 'ego-driven ambition'

The women who feel they are victims of Bill Clinton make up a long list.

Author Candice E. Jackson, in her “Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine,” discusses the plights of several.

Their names are recognized already: Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Monica Lewinsky, Juanita Broaddrick, and more. Their reports of misbehavior by Bill Clinton are not what Americans typically associate with the Oval Office.

But with America on the precipice of picking another Clinton, Hillary, to be president, a move that would put Bill Clinton back into a key place of White House influence, Jackson is launching a new effort.

It’s designed to educate “the public about the unique harm suffered by victims of women in positions of power.”

Victims of women?

Yes. There are many portrayals out there of Bill Clinton as a serial sexual predator.

Sessions: Senate Must Investigate FBI’s ‘Breathtaking’ Destruction of Evidence, Immunity to Cheryl Mills

Sen. Jeff Sessions tells radio talk show Howie Carr he’s lost confidence in FBI Director James B. Comey Jr.

The Alabama Republican adds that he thinks the Senate should investigate how the FBI granted immunity to Clinton Foundation director Cheryl Mills and destroyed evidence under congressional subpoena.

“I was a U.S. attorney and an assistant U.S. attorney before that and I have been through a lot of these issues,” Sessions says.

Sessions said when he was a Department of Justice lawyer, he worked regularly with FBI agents and he was always impressed by their professionalism and their apolitical approach to their work.

“I love the FBI,” he said.

But, now after witnessing the extraordinary handling of evidence, witnesses involved in the scandal surrounding Hillary Clinton’s private email scheme and her handling of classified electronic correspondence, he is forced to reassess, he said.

Because A College Edumication Is That Important These Days

Liberals today want Americans to believe a college education is a must. The image above was taken by a friend of mine who lives in Florida and was in the direct path of the hurricane. His local news wants you to know that "rain creates wet roads". Profound, wouldn't you say. 

Yes, you must have a college degree to get that job. Thank God, (because I don't have a college education) I can depend on book smarts and degrees instead of good old common sense, experience and wisdom. 

However, I'm at a loss. What does snow do to the roads! You know, no college degree and all. 

Why Are Fewer People Watching The NFL So Far This Season?

Maybe it’s the lack of Tom Brady. Maybe it’s the election season. Maybe everyone’s out apple-picking instead of at home watching football. Maybe it’s because you’ve already cratered in your office fantasy football league because you invested too heavily in the Carolina Panthers? (Why are you looking at me like that?) Whatever the cause, fewer people seem to be watching pro football in 2016. 

Scammy Indian Call Centers Made Up To $225K/Day Pretending To Be From IRS

No one wants to get a call from the Internal Revenue Service, and for many people the tax return process is confusing and fraught with potential for errors. So when someone calls claiming to be from the IRS and in need of more information, or saying you need to pay up or face arrest, you might assume it’s a legitimate call. It’s not. This week, police in India detained hundreds of employees from three different call centers for allegedly making these sorts of scam calls — and raking in big money in the process.

Young Virginia Democrat Admits to Registering 19 Dead People to Vote

The kid will probably get some kind of award from the DNC.

Andrew Spieles, a student at James Madison University, has confessed to re-registering 19 deceased Virginians to vote in the 2016 election.

The 20-year-old is deeply involved in local and state politics, calling himself "Lead Organizer" for HarrisonburgVOTES, a get-out-the-vote organization in the city of Harrisonburg. [Ed. note: It appears the HarrisonburgVOTES website has been taken down as of 12:25 p.m. EST.]

Zero Hedge:

The 19 applications of deceased citizens were submitted by Spieles through an organization called HarrisonburgVOTES. According to the organization's "About Us" page, HarrisonburgVOTES is a "non-partisan" voter registration organization in Harrisonburg, VA and the surrounding areas.

As the HarrisonburgVOTES webpage points out, the sole goal of the organization is to raise the number of registered voters in Harrisonburg to 25,000...though it's unclear what percentage of that goal was intended to be filled by dead voters.

The sole goal of HarrisonburgVOTES is to increase the number of registered voters in Harrisonburg and the surrounding areas to increase and encourage civic engagement.
