Watch a supporter urge Hillary Clinton to 'sue the United States' over the outcome of the election
While protesters flooded streets all over the country opposing Donald Trump's election victory, one man gave an impassioned plea for Hillary Clinton to contest the results.
Telling a CNN correspondent "I wanted Hillary to win more than anybody," the unidentified man launched into a lengthy appeal live on air Wednesday night.
"I need Hillary to stand up right now, and walk in and sue the United States of America," he said, insisting that the Democratic nominee won the popular vote.
During her concession speech earlier Wednesday, Clinton said "We must accept this result and look toward the future," adding that Trump deserves "a chance to lead."
The CNN reporter interrupted the man, saying "It looks like Donald Trump won fair and square," and asked the man if he thought the electoral college should be dissolved.
"Hillary had more votes," the man said. "More human beings voted for Hillary. Just count the votes."

Californians are calling for a 'Calexit' from the US — here's how a secession could work
The Yes California Independence Campaign aims to put a referendum on a 2018 ballot that, if passed, would make California an independent country.
Far-fetched as it may sound, the plan started gathering steam after Tuesday night's surprising vote. The movement has an impressive backer in Shervin Pishevar, a well-known angel investor who offered to bankroll the campaign.
"As the sixth largest economy in the world, California is more economically powerful than France and has a population larger than Poland. Point by point, California compares and competes with countries, not just the 49 other states," Yes California wrote in a statement.

Thursday night was day two of protesters taking to the streets in Downtown Austin to protest President-Elect Donald Trump. Something causing quite the controversy, it is going around on social media these protests are fake and these people are paid.
Some pictures of charter buses were Tweeted just before nine Wednesday night by someone in Austin with the caption "Anti-Trump protestors in Austin today are not as organic as they seem. Here are the buses they came in. #fakeprotests #trump2016 #Austin.” As of Thursday night, it had been retweeted more than 11,000 times. The Twitter user goes on to say “I did not see loading or unloading. There were even more buses than in pics. Quite near protests at right timing. Looks very planned. Every group Trump has possibly offended seemed too perfectly represented. The buses just blocks away," when responding to questions of its legitimacy.

Post-Election Depression: How to Cope
After an election, it’s common for people who backed the losing candidate to experience a period of depression and anxiety, but rebounding after this year's fractious presidential contest is likely to be tougher than most for many people, a top expert says.
“I’ve already had people call me about their reactions today. They are suffering from nausea, heart palpitations, and emotional reactions that include shock, severe sadness, and even fear,” David Kessler tells Newsmax Health.
“It’s almost like they’ve suffered a death or been in an accident,” adds Kessler, a licensed psychotherapist.
While such reactions may seem extreme, Kessler says he’s not surprised, given the nature of the 2016 campaign.
“This is very different than the kind of loss usually felt in a normal election, where you have candidates that are similar with minor differences. These were candidates that were on opposite ends of the pole,” adds Kessler, a certified life coach who practices in Miami.

Tesla shows off SolarCity solar roofs for homes
To Elon Musk it seems obvious: the future of energy is in solar.
The CEO of Tesla repeated this sentiment multiple times at a press event on Friday at Universal Studios, where he gave customers the first look at an integrated solar roofing solution that will combine Tesla and SolarCity technologies.
"[I'm] quite confident [that] over time, if it's done right, every roof will be solar," Musk said.
PC MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 2016
Surrounded on both sides by Hollywood sets, familiar to people from shows like the Desperate Housewives, Musk, along with executives from SolarCity, revealed the look of the solar roofs, which he promises will be more efficient and last longer than conventional roof tiles.
To the surprise of everyone gathered on the Universal lot, each of the four set homes had been outfitted with solar roofs, which are made up of glass tiles that are embedded with solar cells. They had been redone over the course of two weeks, and according to Musk, will probably be functional enough to run.

Giuliani: Obama Will Be 'One of Worst Presidents' If He Pardons Clinton
Barack Obama will go down as "one of the worst presidents ever" if he pardons Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server to send and receive classified documents when she was secretary of state, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said.
Obama said Wednesday he has not ruled out a possible pardon for the unsuccessful Democratic presidential nominee.
But Giuliani, a campaign surrogate from now President-elect Donald Trump, told Fox News Channel's "O'Reilly Factor" on Wednesday if Obama issues Clinton a pardon, "Then he should also pardon [Kristian Saucier], who's spending a year in jail taking pictures of the submarine. And he should pardon [Gen. David] Petraeus, and he should pardon [Gen. James] Cartwright."

More Than 2.5M Marylanders Cast Ballots In Presidential Election
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — More than 2.5 million Marylanders cast their ballots in the presidential election.
While Hillary Clinton won the state by large numbers, some counties were close. Anne Arundel County, in particular, seems to mirror what we’ve seen nationwide.
It’s true, in the race for the White House, Maryland is not considered a battleground. But when you look at the map, Maryland looks divided.
“Maryland is very, very much still a blue state,” says Dr. Mileah Kromer, of Goucher College.

Sessions: 'Critical alert,' 817,740 illegals crossed last year
In a bid to put the issue of illegal immigration back into the presidential debate, outspoken critic Sen. Jeff Sessions on Monday issued a "Critical Alert" warning of a potentially historic surge of over the border.
"We are simply overwhelmed," his statement said. In it he estimated the Fiscal Year 2016 illegal crossings at 817,740.
"There is a crisis at our southwest border — one that in many ways exceeds the crisis we saw just two years ago, one that further undermines the integrity of our immigration system, but one that the most of the media has elected to ignore," said Sessions, an advisor to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Sessions listed the new numbers and details of the surge of undocumented illegal immigrants arriving at U.S. Border Patrol stations or simply crossing over. Among them:

Speed limit lowered to 45 on Rt. 113
Those with a degree of familiarity with the stretch of Route 113 between Snow Hill and Langmaid Road will need to readjust the cruise control as the State Highway Administration has lowered the speed limit in the work area to 45 m.p.h.
Speeding fines are doubled in the reduced speed zone.
Robert Rager, the district community liaison for the SHA, said the reduced speed requirement would last until the dualization of this stretch of road is complete at the end of 2017.
The newly-expanded stretch of road is expected to open to traffic in early 2018.
Two phases of the decades-old dualization work still remain, with Phase 4 being the 4.3-mile stretch between Five Mile Branch Road in the north to Public Landing Road to the south. It is expected to be complete and open to traffic by the end of 2019.

Report: Obama Has Not Ruled Out Pardoning Hillary
President Barack Obama has not ruled out pardoning Hillary Clinton before he leaves office in early January despite her not being charged with a crime.
"The president has offered clemency to a substantial number of Americans who were previously serving time in federal prisons," White House press secretary Josh Earnest responded Wednesday when asked by reporters.
His comments were reported by The New York Post.
"And we didn’t talk in advance about the president's plans to offer clemency to any of those individuals — and that’s because we don’t talk about the president’s thinking, particularly with respect to any specific cases that may apply to pardons or commutations," Earnest said.

2016: Cost Per Vote
One of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton‘s recurring campaign promises was that she would “work to curb the outsized influence of big money in American politics, shine a light on secret spending, and fight to make our democracy work for everyone – not just the wealthy and well-connected.”
Wait … wasn’t Clinton the definition of a bought-and-paid-for politician? Yes. She was.
And didn’t the “outsized influence” of big money basically steal the Democratic presidential nomination away from Bernie Sanders? Yes, it did.

Voter turnout shows lack of enthusiasm for either party
President-elect Donald Trump is creating an identity crisis for Democrats in Maryland, and across the country.
Voter turnout in Baltimore City, for example, is 17.5 percent lower than in the 2012 race for president. A number of African-Americans in particular didn't vote as expected.
According to political analysts, it means Democrats and Republicans have a lot of work to do because the turnout signals a big lack of enthusiasm from either party.
Long lines at the polls didn't mean a record turnout. The numbers show less interest in this presidential race than the one in 2012. Political analysts believe there are a number of reasons.

7 Harsh Realities Of Life Millennials Need To Understand
Millennials.
They may not yet be the present, but they’re certainly the future. These young, uninitiated minds will someday soon become our politicians, doctors, scientists, chefs, television producers, fashion designers, manufacturers, and, one would hope, the new proponents of liberty. But are they ready for it?
Time after time, particularly on college campuses, millennials have proven to be little more than entitled, spoiled, anti-intellectual brats who place far too much emphasis on feelings and nowhere near enough emphasis on critical thinking. To the millennial, words are cause for the creation of safe spaces, alternative ideas must be stifled, and anything they perceive to be a microaggression is enough to send them spiraling into a state of mental distress.
It’s time millennials understood these 7 harsh realities of life so we don’t end up with a generation of gutless adult babies running the show.

Letter: The Silent Majority Has Spoken
Dear Editor,
Where were all the Donald Trump bumper stickers? Why didn’t we see the yard signs as in past elections? Trump has been elected President by the silent majority. Why were his supporters so silent? Maybe they were too busy working hard to pay their mortgages and rising taxes and rising healthcare costs due to government interference.
Trump supporters didn’t whine about inequality or so called “glass ceilings.” We all know that had Hillary Clinton won, women would not have been getting higher pay and bigger promotions. Instead, women would be receiving paychecks with even more money extracted by Uncle Sam. For whatever she promised women, her goal was to exert more governmental control over ALL of us, which is quite the opposite of empowering women.
When Hillary took the role of the first unelected “Co-President” rather than graciously being The First Lady, she attempted to ram Mandatory Public Healthcare down our throats. But she failed. It was the next ELECTED President who implemented ObamaCare which turned out to be a costly, abysmal failure. President Obama’s background working with the likes of Rahm Emanuel and the Pastor Jeremiah Wright, the racist preacher who actually used the words God Damn America from his pulpit, prepared him well to fit in with the Washington political machine which is corrupt to the core.

VA making a difference for those who served country
Every year on Veterans Day, we reflect on the contributions and sacrifices of those men and women who have worn the uniform of this great nation. Veterans are part of a select group of American patriots. This is not my opinion; it a mathematical fact! At any given time, less than 1 percent of Americans serve in the U.S. military.
That means 99 percent of our fellow citizens rest comfortably at night, go about business without fear, and peacefully raise families because America’s veterans were willing to endure extreme hardship, long separations from loved ones, to protect all of us.
I grew up in a traditional family that valued hard work, being a good neighbor, and keeping your word. My father was a veteran, and although he didn’t talk much about his service, he made certain we always showed veterans proper respect. My father believed one of the exceptional gifts America offers is the gift of opportunity; we could become anything if we worked hard enough.
My father taught me this amazing gift was protected by the men and women who made enormous sacrifices for their families, neighbors and even people they didn’t know. They didn’t do it for money or fame; they did it because it was the right thing to do. My father taught me, and I believe, veterans deserve our respect and unending gratitude.
In 1993, I chose to work for the Department of Veterans Affairs for those reasons. It was my opportunity to repay the debt owed veterans for the sacrifices they made to protect our way of life. Even though my dad is gone, I hope I make him proud every day of my service to those values we hold dear. My dad received care at a VA clinic in Florida and in at one in Delmarva.

Grandparents' health being put at risk as almost half get ill from babysitting
The perils of grandparents babysitting have been revealed in a survey, which found nearly half of them caught a cold from a sick grandchild.
There are now 10 million grandmothers and grandfathers providing regular childcare for their families each week, more than ever before, but this is leading to a potential health crisis - with their immune systems vulnerable to colds.
And with colds leading to more serious illnesses, like chest infections or pneumonia, a fifth of grandparents say it is their biggest concern when it comes to babysitting (21 per cent).
In an attempt to escape falling ill themselves, 16 per cent admit they avoid their grandchildren when they are sick.

Chelsea Clinton's Husband Used Clinton Foundation To Raise Cash For His Hedge Fund
That Teneo's Doug Band was not a fan of Chelsea Clinton, with whom he had a long-running feud as a result of her ongoing accusations that he was taking advantage of Bill Clinton's presence to enrich himself (even though thanks to a leaked memo we now know for a fact just how Teneo was working as a pass through, pay-for-play vehicle to enrich both Clinton and Band), we have known for a while (and reported on again just moments ago, when in one of the latest Podesta emails, he accused her of using Foundation cash to pay for her wedding).
We now learn that Band was also not a fan of Chelsea's husband, Marc Mezvinsky, co-founder of the hedge fund Eaglevale Partners, which had received substantial seed funding from Goldman Sachs, and which suffered massive losses with its wrong-way bet on Greek bonds.
In an email from January 18, 2012, Doug Band tells John Podesta and Cheryl Mills that "Marc mez[vinsky] had an idea to put together a poker night for the foundation to raise money. His raising money for his own fund hasn't been going well and he has cvc [Chelsea Clinton] making some calls for him to get mtgs with some clinton people."
What Band was accusing "Mez" of doing is that since he was unable to raise cash for his hedge fund on his own, he came looking for the help of his wife, Chelsea, who is Vice Chairman of the Foundation bearing her last name.
Band then says that "Marc has invited several potential investors and a few current business ones to the poker night. I assume all are contributing to the foundation, which of course isn't the point. What is the point is that he is doing precisely what heaccused me of doing as the entire plan of his has been to use this for his business which he is."

Guilty Plea For Stun Gun At Trump Rally
SNOW HILL — A Delmar man, arrested last April on various charges after producing a stun gun at a protest following Donald Trump’s visit to Stephen Decatur High School, pleaded guilty last week to disorderly conduct and was fined and placed on probation.
On April 20, Trump visited Berlin for a political rally attended by thousands, including supporters, protesters and hundred more curiosity seekers. While Trump was speaking inside the school, thousands gathered in areas around Decatur including the parking lot of the old Harley Davidson business across the street.
The protests, while somewhat chippy, were by and large peaceful although an incident later in the evening after the rally threatened to turn violent. After the rally was over, an Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) officer who was part of an local allied law enforcement presence on hand to provide security, heard what he believed to be a stun gun being activated in the large crowd in the Harley Davidson parking lot.

New Jersey Moves to Take Control of Atlantic City
The State of New Jersey moved on Wednesday to take control of Atlantic City, having lost patience with the financially troubled gambling resort’s inability to pay its bills.
Over the objections of Atlantic City’s elected officials, the Local Finance Board in Trenton unanimously approved a five-year state takeover to stave off a bankruptcy filing by the city. The decision would give the head of the finance board the power to sell municipal assets, renegotiate union contracts and fire city employees.
“It’s an incredible responsibility, one that I’ve lost sleep over the last few weeks,” Timothy Cunningham, the head of the finance board, told reporters, according to The Associated Press. “I’m sure I’m going to lose sleep tonight.”

The decision would give the head of the finance board the power to sell municipal assets, renegotiate union contracts and fire city employees.
“It’s an incredible responsibility, one that I’ve lost sleep over the last few weeks,” Timothy Cunningham, the head of the finance board, told reporters, according to The Associated Press. “I’m sure I’m going to lose sleep tonight.”

Calif., Nev., Mass. Legalize Marijuana; Fla. OKs Medical Pot
California, Massachusetts and Nevada legalized marijuana on Tuesday, three more wins for the state-driven shift towards legalizing a substance the federal government still categorizes as a "most dangerous" drug.
Voters in Florida and North Dakota also approved medical marijuana measures. More than 60 percent of Florida voters backed a constitutional amendment making medical marijuana available for residents with debilitating illnesses whose doctors advised cannabis use.
North Dakota approved dispensing small amounts of marijuana to qualified patients registered with the state, or allowing those who reside far from dispensaries to legally grow their own.

BITTER: Hillary's final speech for donors, staff - general public 'turned away'
A bitter Hillary Clinton’s final act as a candidate is to surround herself with elite donors and paid staffers, and to snub average Americans.
“Supporters/general public who have showed up at New Yorker hotel to see HRC are being turned away,” ABC’s Liz Kreutz reports.
“Appears event is just for staff/donors, etc.”
Supporters/gen public who have showed up at New Yorker hotel to see HRC are being turned away. Appears event is just for staff/donors, etc
Meanwhile, her most ardent supporters, er, reporters, have gathered outside the hotel in anticipation of her 10:30 a.m. likely concession statement.
Message for Liberals
Dear Democrats, Liberals and News Media:
A lot of you aren't graciously accepting the fact that your candidate lost. In fact, you're making even more hateful comments about those of us who voted for Trump. Some of you have expressed how sick you are about the results.
How did this happen, you ask?
You created "us" when you attacked our freedom of speech.
You created "us" when you attacked our right to bear arms.
You created "us" when you attacked our Christian beliefs.
You created "us" when you referred to us as racists.
You created "us" when you called us xenophobic.
You created "us" when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.
You created "us" when you forced Obamacare on us and then penalized us for not participating.
You created "us" when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.
You created "us" when you attacked our flag.
You created "us" when you confused women's rights with feminism.
You created "us" when you supported "death" for the unborn, even partial-birth.
You created "us" when you decided to push education reform on our children.
You created "us" when you chose to vote for progressive ideals.
You created "us" when you attacked our traditions and way of life.
You created "us" when you failed to protect our borders and then looked away.
You created "us" when you refused to call Islamic extremist by its name.
You created "us" when you let our government get out of control.
You created "us" the silent majority....
And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.
And we did it with ballots, not bullets.

Sheriff’s Office Seeks Dismissal Of OC Police Brutality Lawsuit
OCEAN CITY — The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, named as co-defendants in a $1 million civil suit filed in July by a Virginia woman arrested while pregnant during a melee on the beach in 2013, this week filed a motion to dismiss the case on several grounds including the vagueness by which its unnamed deputies are attached to the case.
In July, nearly three years to the day since the 2013 incident, Dalima Palmer, now 27, of Dumfries, Va., filed suit in U.S. District Court against the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) officer who allegedly tackled her to the ground while she was nine-months pregnant during a brawl on the beach. Also named in the suit is the OCPD, Chief Ross Buzzuro, two unnamed OCPD officers who allegedly denied her medical attention while she was in police custody and the Maryland State Police.
The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office is named as a defendant because two of its officers, named only as John Doe, may or may not have allegedly remained in Palmer’s hospital room against her wishes while she gave birth via C-section to her child as a result of the incident. Oddly, the complaint states the two officers who remained in Palmer’s room while she was giving birth could have been Worcester County Sheriff’s deputies, Maryland State Police officers or even OCPD officers. Because of the vagueness of that section of the complaint, and for other reasons including its immunity from being sued, the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office this week filed a motion to dismiss the case against it.

You Want Unity, GO TO WORK NOW!
Just because President Obama and Hillary Clinton said, (once) the country needs to come together and unite, I will NOT allow them to play the game of sitting back watching America get destroyed from within and say, we already said something.
Mr. Obama is still our President and he needs to take very serious action against these protesters. No excuses!
Peaceful protests are one thing but destroying property and violence against others should be considered hate crimes and people need to go to jail.
I'm not a law enforcement officer but we cannot have another Baltimore.
What do you think, how should this be addressed and by whom?

Trump Asks Democrats to Offer ‘To Do List’ Instead of Hate
President-elect Donald Trump expressed his frustrations Wednesday with the anger directed at him from the left since his upset victory over Hillary Clinton, calling on Democrats to offer a “to do list” instead of hate.
“I’m still waiting for the democrats ‘to do list.’ Any democrat, just tweet me… yet I’m only getting hate from the left,” tweeted Mr. Trump.
Despite a pledge to unite the country and work with all Americans to help veterans, rebuild inner cities and strengthen foreign relations, Mr. Trump has been assailed by liberal groups with threats to obstruct his presidency.,

Breaking News from Canada
The flood of Trump-fearing American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week. The Republican presidential campaign is prompting an exodus among left-leaning Americans who fear they’ll soon be required to hunt, pray, pay taxes, and live according to the Constitution.
Canadian border residents say it’s not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, liberal arts majors, global-warming activists, and “green” energy proponents crossing their fields at night.
“I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn,” said southern Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. “He was cold, exhausted and hungry, and begged me for a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn’t have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?”
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields, but they just stuck their fingers in their ears and kept coming. Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals just south of the border, pack them into electric cars, and drive them across the border, where they are simply left to fend for themselves after the battery dies.
“A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions,” an Alberta border patrolman said. “I found one carload without a single bottle of Perrier water, or any gemelli with shrimp and arugula. All they had was a nice little Napa Valley cabernet and some kale chips. When liberals are caught, they’re sent back across the border, often wailing that they fear persecution from Trump high-hairers.
Rumors are circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer, study the Constitution, and find jobs that actually contribute to the economy.
In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans in blue-hair wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the ’50s.
“If they can’t identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age,” an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage, are buying up all the Barbara Streisand CD’s, and are overloading the internet while downloading jazzercise apps to their cell phones.
“I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can’t support them,” an Ottawa resident said. “After all, how many art-history majors does one country need?

The Nuclear Option[*]: Welcome, Democrats, to the Revolution
NEW YORK — Yes, Hillary, this revolution is real.
Tens of millions of voters cast ballots Tuesday for Hillary Clinton. Except for a relative handful of wealthy and connected people, nobody actually wanted to vote for her.
She is the most corrupt, compromised, dishonest, self-dealing, delusional and unlikeable candidate perhaps to ever run for president.
I used to wonder why President Obama would want to hand his legacy over to such fake and felonious monster. Then I realized that he doesn’t really care about anything but himself and for as long as she is around, people will miss him.
Anyway, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign was about everything and anything and, in the end, nothing.

Drug testing welfare recipients starts Monday
MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) -- Wisconsin will start drug testing welfare recipients starting Monday. Governor Scott Walker signed off on the rule, as-written by the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families. The rule requires testing able-bodied adults seeking certain benefits.
Walker issued a statement today saying, “Employers across the state frequently tell me they have good-paying jobs available in high-demand fields, but need their workers to be drug-free. These important entitlement reforms will help more people find family-supporting jobs, moving them from government dependence to true independence.”

Here Is What Donald Trump Wants To Do In His First 100 Days
At the end of October, Donald Trump spoke in Gettysburg, Pa., and released a plan for his first 100 days in office.
The plan (below) outlines three main areas of focus: cleaning up Washington, including by imposing term limits on Congress; protecting American workers; and restoring rule of law. He also laid out his plan for working with Congress to introduce 10 pieces of legislation that would repeal Obamacare, fund the construction of a wall at the Southern border (with a provision that Mexico would reimburse the U.S.), encourage infrastructure investment, rebuild military bases, promote school choice and more.

Could Hillary Clinton Still Win The Election? There’s One More Chance
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — After Donald Trump was proclaimed the winner of the 2016 presidential election, there have been peaceful protests sprouting up in pockets across the country.
Now, an online petition has been started asking the electoral college to, when they meet on December 19, withhold their support for Trump, something granted to them in the Constitution.
The foundation for the petition is the fact that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, something that Trump himself has complained about in the past.
