Image Of Las Vegas Shooter Who Took His Own Life
This never seen before image is in fact the scumbag who, (like a coward) took his own life before law enforcement could do it for him. While this image may be hard for some to look at, I feel it's important everyone see the TRUTH. Notice the hand gun above his head.
Read the questions under the,"Issues", and tell me why my daughter is being forced to answer these questions.
I am absolutely blown away at our LIBERAL education system. I just had to share with you what some of our children are up against. The students were flat out told if they did not answer or participate the teacher would in fact fail them by giving them a "0" as a grade.
Welcome back to school, HOMEY'S.

CBS fires vice president who said Vegas victims didn't deserve sympathy because country music fans 'often are Republican'
CBS has parted ways with one of the company’s top lawyers after she said she is “not even sympathetic” to victims of the Las Vegas shooting because “country music fans often are Republican,” when discussing the tragic mass shooting that occurred in Las Vegas late Sunday night.

A Viewer Writes: Parking Rant
Even though there is almost never parking available around the Irish Penny and Little Caesars, there's no excuse for parking your car up at the curb. It is a pain in the arse to park a car or get a car out when a someone lingers at the entrance. Not only did the pictured cars park under two distinctly different "no parking" signs.. one of them almost got hit by an elderly couple backing out. Putting your flashers on doesn't excuse you from the rules. Maybe a solution to the city's money problems could be solved thru parking tickets and towing cars. Inexcusable!
Baltimore Ravens national anthem singer resigns: 'I do not belong there'
Baltimore Ravens national anthem singer Joey Odoms announced his resignation Tuesday -- two days after hundreds of NFL players knelt during “The Star-Spangled Banner,” including several Ravens players.
Odoms, a former Maryland National Guard member who served in Afghanistan, announced the move in a Facebook and Instagram post, The Baltimore Sun reported.
"The tone/actions of a large number of NFL fans in the midst of our country's cultural crisis have convinced me that I do not belong there," Odoms wrote. "Someone once told me to always 'go where you're welcomed.’ This is not an emotional reaction to recent events, rather an ethical decision that part of me regrets but my core knows is the right choice."

Two Arrested After Striking Police Officers In Ocean City
(OCEAN CITY, MD) — Maryland State Police are investigating an overnight police involved shooting in Worcester County that occurred after two police officers were struck by a driver trying to run them down to avoid arrest.
One law enforcement officer struck is a supervisor with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and is assigned to the Worcester County Criminal Enforcement Team task force. The other is a police officer with the Ocean City Police Department. Both officers struck by the vehicle were transported to an area hospital where they were treated and released.
The driver of the vehicle is identified as Antonio Ambrosino, 18, of Seaford, DE. He is charged with two counts each of attempted first degree murder, attempted second degree murder, attempted manslaughter, first degree assault and second degree assault, as well as one count each of reckless endangerment, possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
The passenger in the vehicle driven by Ambrosino is also under arrest. He is identified as Arkad Espinal, 20, of Shillington, PA. He is charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance with intent to distribute and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
Neither suspect was hit when police fired at them as they struck the officers. Both are awaiting their initial appearance before a court commissioner.
The Maryland State Police Homicide Unit is conducting the investigation into the police-involved shooting, at the request of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and the Ocean City Police Department. Investigators have been in contact with the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office overnight and will ultimately present their completed investigation to that office for review.
The preliminary investigation indicates that just after 11:00 p.m. yesterday, the deputy sheriff was working an assignment in Ocean City and pulled into the back of a shopping center lot between 33rd and 34th streets on the ocean side of Coastal Highway. The deputy saw a Chevrolet Malibu parked in the lot with two men inside. He notified dispatch that he would be checking on the vehicle and an Ocean City Police Department patrol unit with three officers responded to assist.
According to the preliminary investigation, the deputy and an Ocean City officer approached the car on opposite sides, while two officers positioned themselves near the rear of the vehicle. As the deputy walked up, he saw the two men in the car weighing and bagging marijuana.
When the suspects saw the officers approaching, they immediately attempted to hide the marijuana in the car. The deputy gave commands to the suspects, but they were ignored and the driver started the car and put it into reverse.
The driver, later identified as Ambrosino, quickly accelerated and turned the vehicle to the right, striking the deputy. After striking the deputy, Ambrosino put the car into drive and accelerated forward. He then steered to the left and drove directly at an Ocean City officer, striking him. The force of the impact catapulted the officer over the hood, windshield, and onto the roof of the car. The driver continued to accelerate away and the officer was thrown onto the hood of a vehicle parked nearby.
The preliminary investigation indicates the Ocean City police officer who was struck fired at the driver after being hit and another Ocean City police officer fired at the driver as he was striking the officer. Neither suspect was struck by the rounds fired by officers.
After fleeing the parking lot, the suspect vehicle ended up at a dead end on 41st Street on the bay side. Police took Espinal into custody at the car. Ambrosino jumped into the bay, but was later arrested about eight blocks north of that location.
Investigators have learned that during the incident, Ambrosino stated he would rather die than go to jail. The car driven by Ambrosino was impounded by State Police investigators. A search warrant is being obtained for the car.
The investigation is continuing.

Alabama Results: Should Incumbents Be Worried?
By Thornton Crowe
Last week's political tsunami between Roy Moore and Luther Strange in Alabama proves to be a surprising upset for Establishment Republicans as political tides remain ever-changing. Once again, the proposed outsider came up and wrenched victory from a candidate who believed he was assured victory due to his incumbency. Should this be a cautionary tale for politicians throughout the US?
To quickly recap: On Strange's side, he had the endorsement of President Trump along with other high-ranking politicians in the Republican Establishment - namely Mitch McConnell along with $30M in mad money to throw around. Conversely, on Moore's side had a meager $3M compared to his contender along with pundits like Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka working in unison to promote him as a person who will forward Trump's agenda. One would assume with Trump's pitch, Strange was guaranteed a win but the People shockingly proved endorsements were not enough!
No one can really blame the President for the Strange endorsement because anyone who knows the inner workings of DC can tell you, a deal was struck for McConnell's future cooperation if he endorsed Mitch's insider. However, be that as it may, many Moore operatives worked for Trump during his campaign held an understanding that Strange, like McCain and other Hill RINOs, would try to thwart the President's (and the People's) agenda. In spite of his endorsement, this was a mercy victory for Trump in more ways than not - yet, the Mainstream Media will try to say the opposite in the hopes voters will be easily fooled.
This is not the only race around the country where incumbents are fighting for their political lives. Jeff Flake in Arizona holds a dismal showing as he nips at outsider, Dr. Kelli Ward's heels. In the Tennessee, long-time Senator Senator Bob Corker announced his retirement in response to the MAGA's Alabama efforts. Hence, it would seem, many incumbents on all levels of government are now in some widespread panic with good reason.
The MAGA grassroots organization, spearheaded by staunch Trump supporters, is moving swiftly throughout all fifty states with the sole purpose to out all politicians who have failed in delivering their promises to voters as well as run counter to the People's agenda. The movement is proving successful because voters are more engaged, paying attention not just to what political yammer but what these politicians actually produce.
For local leaders, this new trend should be very worrisome because now more than ever, voters are seeking outsiders rather than settling for past complacency. Therefore, no incumbent position is a safe bet like in past decades - skating through with obligatory actions and empty promises aren't going to cut the mustard any longer.

Anthem will not be shown before Chiefs-Redskins game, per report
Fans tuning in to Monday Night Football this week won't be seeing the pregame national anthem, according to a report out Sunday.
The national anthem will not be aired on television before Monday night's Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Redskins, per a report out Sunday from The Sporting News.
TSN reports ESPN has chosen not to air the anthem during their Monday Night Football broadcast, quoting spokesman Mac Nwulu as saying, "ESPN MNF will not carry the anthem live."
The national anthem typically is aired only before certain games as well as the Super Bowl, but broadcasters showed the anthem last week due to the amount of protests and unity displays in response to criticism of NFL players by President Donald Trump. Broadcasters are moving away from showing the anthem this week, as in addition to ESPN not airing the anthem during Monday Night Football, FOX did not air the anthem before their Sunday regional games but did show it before the Dolphins-Saints game in London.
The Chiefs and Redskins kick off at 8:30 p.m. ET Monday night on ESPN.

A Viewer Writes: Weekly Paper
Joe, a few months ago you posted a post how we could stop the weekly paper if we go to Mr. Days site and enter our address. Well like everything else he does it didn't work. I am still getting that pain in the A$$ every week. What can I do? I know I can't believe anything he says.
Are Wicomico County Council Members Completely Nuts?
Your local media has hit an all time low when it comes to actually getting to the root of the real story. This is really bad and very spiteful.
You see, a developer decided he wasn't going to build a pretty large, (250 acre) housing development near the Henry Parker Ball Fields. Instead, he came to the County Executive and has offered to DONATE all 250 acres to the County. The land had been zoned for farming and changed for a housing development. So the land brings in around $12,000.00+ a year as it now sits. However, the owner of the land will be asking to bring it back to its former zoning and it will drop down to around $2,000.00 a year.
County Council Members are actually considering NOT accepting the donation of land because they don't want to lose the tax revenue, IDIOTS! Once the owner changes the zoning they won't be collecting crap anyway. On the other hand, there's a LOT you don't know about the possible intent with the County Executive and his plans for its future. I can tell you first hand without exposing this exciting proposal that it is by far one of the most advanced projects in Wicomico County in decades. I'll await the Executives return from the bond hearings in New York, (unlike the rest of the media who knew he was out of town and couldn't get his point of view on this matter) and see if he is willing to expose the possibilities but let me say this, the Council is well aware of his intentions with the land but Cannon seems to have a strong hold on the local media and they are covering it up.
While John Cannon, (and Council) continue to degrade, attack and belittle Executive Culver, along with the rubber stamp liberal media, YOU are being deceived in a very big way. Allow me to explain further. While some of your liberal minded council members and outside tree hugging groups TALK about saving the planet, this land we speak of is also zoned INDUSTRIAL. This means they can put a chemical manufacturing plant on the 250 acres. Did you know this is directly over the Paleochannel? I can tell you first hand, what Culver intends to do with this land secures the safety of the controversial topic. Hmmmm, funny how NONE of the media mentioned this. Funny how they never talked about the rezoning and tax reduction. Instead, they just want to say and do anything opposite of the County Executive.
Let me close with this. Do all of you remember how bad the Council attacked Executive Culver for firing the Finance Director. FUNNY how the Council went on the attack against Culver recently because he had to ask for an additional $100,000.00 and the Council blamed incompetence from the Executives Office. Well get this, Culver will be coming back to the Council for an additional $200,000.00 because they just learned of yet ANOTHER error that now totals $300,000.00 in frivolous errors from the very same Finance Director. Culver was 100% right to get rid of and FIRE this BS artist, the Council came to her defense and now they are attacking Culver on every possible level, yet Culver, (like President Trump) is constantly right but the media and liberal minded Council keep attacking and defaming. It is the Council and Media that are in the wrong and Culver is doing what is right for the taxpayers.

America! It’s A DOWNWARD Spiral For NFL- ‘Monday Night Football’ Ratings Crash!
Americans love few things more than kicking back after a Monday, a cold beer in one hand, and the football game on television. It sets the tone for the rest of the week, and a lot of people have come to think of it as a regular part of their routine, like brushing your teeth in the morning or sipping that 3 o’clock coffee.
Unfortunately for the NFL, routines can easily be broken in the impetus for doing so in strong enough. Turns out that an awful lot of Americans seem to think that kneeling disrespectfully during the national anthem is a darn good reason to turn the channel.

Breaking News: In a rare move, the N.R.A. gun lobby endorsed tougher rules on a device used by the Las Vegas gunman to convert a rifle to fire rapidly
The National Rifle Association on Thursday endorsed tighter restrictions on devices that allow a rifle to fire bullets as fast as a machine gun — a rare, if small, step for a group that for years has vehemently opposed any new gun controls. |

Sheriff Mike Lewis Deserves A Lot Of Credit
Last week I called out Mike Lewis by challenging him to get rid of his Baltimore Ravens season tickets. Considering Sheriff Lewis is as patriotic as he is, he has done just that. "When I saw what happened last weekend, I said 'I'm done.' That's it for me," Lewis said.
Always give credit where credit is due. Good job Mike Lewis.

I me wed: why are more women choosing to marry themselves?
When 38-year-old Sophie Tanner celebrated her second wedding anniversary earlier this year, there were none of the usual trappings - no flowers or romantic meal for two; no hastily purchased card sealed with a kiss.
It’s not that her other half is remiss, but that on May 16, 2015, when the PR consultant took her vows on the steps of Brighton’s Unitarian Church, the person she swore to cherish for eternity was, well, herself.
“I literally had the idea when I was lying in bed recovering from flu and a bad relationship,” she remembers. “Everyone celebrates getting together with someone and becoming married, but there’s no milestone in society that celebrates escaping something awful or returning to your own happiness and contentment.”

70,000+ People Sign Petition Calling for Removal of Ray Lewis Statue
More than 70,000 people have signed a petition calling for a statue of Ray Lewis that sits outside M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland, to be removed after the former player knelt during the national anthem.
The petition, which has 74,652 signatures, calls for the statue of the Baltimore Ravens football legend to be removed for Lewis’ refusal to stand for the national anthem and respect the country.
The Ravens player ruffled the feathers of many fans after he chose to kneel during the national anthem and lock arms with his teammates on the field last Sunday.
Lewis’ mother, his friends, and other family members gathered by his statue Saturday to pray and kneel in support of the football player after learning of the petition.
“You can’t erase 17 years of history. You can’t erase two Super Bowls,” said Sunseria “Buffy” Smith, Ray Lewis’ mother. “You can’t erase Ray coming here, going to Johns Hopkins Hospital. He do stuff people don’t even know he do.”

Antifa Plans “Civil War” to Overthrow the Government
Antifa is reportedly planning a new round of nationwide riots on November 4 as part of a plot to start a “civil war” that will lead to the overthrow of the Trump administration.
Far-left militants plan to “gather in the streets and public squares of cities and towns across this country” in the hope of building momentum for civil unrest that leads to nothing less than domestic regime change.
“Our protest must grow day after day and night after night—thousands becoming hundreds of thousands, and then millions—determined to act to put a stop to the grave danger that the Trump/Pence Regime poses to the world by demanding that this whole regime be removed from power,” states a call to action on the RefuseFascism website.
A longer screed posted on the Revolutionary Communist website makes it clear that Antifa is not prepared to wait for electoral change from Democrats, and will engage in a “ferocious struggle,” based on plans outlined in a book written by Bob Avakian, the Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, which is called The Coming Civil War.

Voters like Hogan, but re-election still iffy, new poll finds
By Len Lazarick
Len@MarylandReporter.com
A majority of Maryland voters like Republican Gov. Larry Hogan and the job he’s doing, but “despite these typically reliable indicators of an incumbent’s political strength, Hogan’s party affiliation makes his re-election far from certain,” says a new a Mason-Dixon poll.
Statewide, three out of five voters (62%) view the governor favorably and a similar number (61%) approve of the job he is doing. Almost half of Democrats polled (49%) approve of his job.
But when matched against potential Democratic challengers — only one was even recognized by more than half of voters — Hogan’s support drops below 50% in every matchup. Only about 25% of Democrats say they will vote for him.
The results by Mason-Dixon Polling, which has been surveying Maryland for over 30 years, are not out of line with the results of a Goucher College poll released last week. But the two polls asked somewhat different questions in slightly different ways to different sets of Marylanders. Only the Mason-Dixon poll put up Hogan against Democratic challengers.
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker was both the most recognized of the announced Democratic candidates and the one who did the best against Hogan, Mason-Dixon found.
Baker only trails Hogan by 7-points (46%-39%) in a match-up.

A majority of Maryland voters like Republican Gov. Larry Hogan and the job he’s doing, but “despite these typically reliable indicators of an incumbent’s political strength, Hogan’s party affiliation makes his re-election far from certain,” says a new a Mason-Dixon poll.
Statewide, three out of five voters (62%) view the governor favorably and a similar number (61%) approve of the job he is doing. Almost half of Democrats polled (49%) approve of his job.
But when matched against potential Democratic challengers — only one was even recognized by more than half of voters — Hogan’s support drops below 50% in every matchup. Only about 25% of Democrats say they will vote for him.
The results by Mason-Dixon Polling, which has been surveying Maryland for over 30 years, are not out of line with the results of a Goucher College poll released last week. But the two polls asked somewhat different questions in slightly different ways to different sets of Marylanders. Only the Mason-Dixon poll put up Hogan against Democratic challengers.
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker was both the most recognized of the announced Democratic candidates and the one who did the best against Hogan, Mason-Dixon found.
Hogan vs. Baker, 46%-39%
Baker only trails Hogan by 7-points (46%-39%) in a match-up.

‘Insulting, Condescending, and Marginalizing’
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Alex Marlow on Friday regarding former first lady Michelle Obama’s assertion that the GOP is “all male, all white.” She also discussed Rep. Linda Sánchez’s (D-CA) call for House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to step aside.
Concerning comments by Michelle Obama, McDaniel said, “I happen to be only the second woman to run the Republican National Committee, and I am a woman Republican who voted for President Trump based on issues that matter to me, and it’s very insulting and condescending to continually see the left try and minimize my voice and say that we didn’t vote on issues, or if a woman voted for President Trump, it’s because some have said their husband told them to.”
