Salisbury Maryland, The City Of Fruits & Nuts
When will the City be celebrating STRAIGHT Heterosexual people? Is this not discrimination to the mass majority of taxpayers and business people who actually carry the City financially? Did Mayor Day and Jim Ireton do a STUDY to see if this is insulting to these very taxpayers? Perhaps heterosexuals are no longer welcome in Salisbury.
TWO SNAPS UP!

Trayvon Martin's loss life was a tragic moment along with many more young African American men being murdered due to the color of their skin, their hair & clothes they wear.
As anyone knows who watched the trial Jackson is telling a bold faced lie. As an elected person she should be an example and not a liar. As the supposed Christian she claims to be she should not be telling lie.
Trayvon Martin was most certainly without any doubts to decent honest people a thug. His own record speaks for itself. The autopsy report spoke to both a brain and a liver that already at his young age showed deterioration due to excesses use of the illegal drug cocktail known as Lean.
Now to educate the Liar Jackson. George Zimmerman was told to return to his vehicle by the dispatcher and he did. It was there that the THUG Martin came over to him and attacked him. Zimmerman had injuries consistent with his testimony. Martin was shot consistent to Zimmermans testimony and that of witnesses and forensics.
Now lets see if Jackson is an honest woman and corrects her lies. I doubt it though. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and her father (and only the Lord knows if he was really her father!) was a lying BSer too.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg hopes to stay on Supreme Court for 5 years
Ginsburg was speaking in Manhattan following the performance of a play about the late Justice Antonin Scalia when she made the estimate.
“I’m now 85,” Ginsburg said, according to CNN. “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years.”

Municipal Studies
For me personally, it's studies like this that blow me away. You see, (in my opinion) it's a total waste, ($20,000.00) of taxpayer money. You either have a parking problem, OR YOU DON'T!
HOWEVER, let's take a look at the City of Salisbury and their lack thereof by your current Mayor. Should a parking study have taken place when you originally tell people you've got some 300,000 people coming to Salisbury for a Festival? Especially when you only have a total of 5,000 parking spaces, including the Shorebirds and Civic Center lots. Should a STUDY have been performed for the "shelter in place" for the Festival event?
All this being said, your Mayor continues to allow such major events and even a bike share program WITHOUT any consideration of taxpayer funds.
So the big question is, should municipalities do studies BEFORE major decisions are made, or not? In Berlin, it seems to be a no brainer, Berlin needs additional parking. Again, just my opinion. However, do you not think it's abusive when your Mayor, (Salisbury) just keeps blowing taxpayer money in what might be considered fraudulent?
This should get very interesting!
Ocasio-Cortez Supporters Have No Clue How to Pay for Her Socialist Ideas
Supporters of Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — the 28-year-old who surprisingly won her New York primary in June — love her ideas in theory. But they seem as unable as Ocasio-Cortez is herself to explain how all the equality she promises would be paid for, in the end.
Liberals hail Ocasio-Cortez as a rising political star in the Democrat party. Yet she’s recently been called out for campaign missteps, such as criticizing Israel’s “occupation” of the Palestinian territories, and flubbing a chance to explain how exactly her socialist platform will pay for everything she’s promising.
People on the street in Astoria, Queens — a portion of the 14th congressional district in which Ocaisio-Cortez won her nomination against Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) — were asked by Campus Reform’s media director, Cabot Phillips, if they agreed with her Democratic socialism ideas — and how they would be financed.
They were flummoxed.
“I don’t know where the money would come from, but they can figure it out,” one respondent said about paying for free health care and education.
“Oh, God — I mean, us, I guess,” one woman said when asked who would pay for goods and services for all. She then turned to her companion for help in answering the question — who also answered hesitantly...
“Us.”

Hogan Administration Announces $900,000 in Funding to Track Heroin and Opioid Activity
ANNAPOLIS, MD – The Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention (GOCCP) today announced awards to 16 jurisdictions totaling nearly $900,000 from Maryland’s Heroin Coordinator Program, which plays a critical role in multi-jurisdictional criminal investigations by analyzing data that links overdose victims to drug trafficking organizations operating within the state and across state lines.
The awards announced today will help support jurisdictions in hiring a qualified law enforcement professional to serve as a Heroin Coordinator. The coordinators will use the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) system to monitor and track drug investigations, drug seizures, drug arrests, heroin and opioid overdoses, and other drug-related investigative activities.
“To improve our efforts to address the heroin and opioid crisis, we must have a seamless communications system which allows for collaboration and information sharing across multiple law enforcement agencies,” said V. Glenn Fueston, Jr., GOCCP Executive Director. “Funding for this position is key.”
Awards were made to the following entities:
- Allegany/Cumberland Police Department: $56,066
- Anne Arundel County Police Department: $70,800
- Baltimore Police Department: $68,700
- Baltimore County Police Department: $42,608
- Calvert County Sheriff’s Office: $46,975
- Cecil County Sheriff’s Office: $51,504
- Charles County Sheriff’s Office: $50,000
- Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office: $48,700
- Frederick City Police Department: $26,102
- Harford County Sheriff’s Office: $78,646
- Howard County Police Department: $74,257
- Montgomery County Police Department: $60,000
- Talbot County Sheriff’s Office: $44,000
- Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office: $40,662
- Worcester County Board of County Commissioners: $50,615
- University of Baltimore - $87,542
Since the Heroin Coordinator grant program began, more than $1.6 million has been awarded through the program. Many notable achievements have been made possible through this grant, including a recent investigation leading to a Baltimore heroin dealer pleading guilty to drug conspiracy charges that linked 27 overdose victims (9 fatal), the recovery of $405,156 in drug proceeds, and approximately one kilogram of heroin. This year alone, Heroin Coordinators added more than 5,000 drug-related cases to HIDTA for review.
“Governor Hogan has directed our office to use every resource possible to keep Maryland streets safe,” said Fueston. “A big part of that job is tracking crime and drug activity, and we are committed to doing just that.”
Poll: Biden leads Trump by seven points in hypothetical 2020 matchup
Former Vice President Joe Biden would crush President Donald Trump by seven percentage points if the 2020 elections were held today, new public opinion numbers indicate.
Trump's re-election test is still 27 months away, but pollsters are already busily padding their regular surveys with hypothetical matchups.
Forty-four per cent of registered voters said they would choose Biden if he were the Democratic nominee, compared with 37 per cent who would send Trump back to Washington for four more years.
About 80 per cent of Democrats sided with Biden, and 78 per cent of Republicanswith Trump. But Democratic voters outnumber GOPers in the U.S. population by a 30-26 margin, according to Gallup.
Biden would be 77 years old if he were elected president. Trump will be 74 if he wins a second term.

Majority of Democrats: Illegal Aliens Should be Given the Right to Vote
A majority of Democrat voters now say that the "12 million" illegal aliens currently residing in the United States should be given the right to vote.
In a new poll by Rasmussen Reports, a majority of 54 percent of Democrats said illegal aliens in the U.S. should be given the right to vote so long as they pay taxes.
Illegal aliens paying taxes ensures the identity theft of Americans.
Likewise, 53 percent of self-described liberal voters said they too support giving the 12 million illegal aliens in the U.S. the right to vote.

The Number Of Americans Living In Their Vehicles "Explodes" As The Middle Class Collapses
If the U.S. economy is really doing so well, then why is homelessness rising so rapidly?
As the gap between the rich and the poor continues to increase, the middle class is steadily eroding. In fact, I recently gave my readers 15 signs that the middle class in America is being systematically destroyed. More Americans are falling out of the middle class and into poverty with each passing day, and this is one of the big reasons why the number of homeless is surging. For example, the number of people living on the street in L.A. has shot up 75 percent over the last 6 years. But of course L.A. is far from alone. Other major cities on the west coast are facing similar problems, and that includes Seattle. It turns out that the Emerald City has seen a 46 percent rise in the number of people sleeping in their vehicles in just the past year…
The number of people who live in their vehicles because they can’t find affordable housing is on the rise, even though the practice is illegal in many U.S. cities.
The number of people residing in campers and other vehicles surged 46 percent over the past year, a recent homeless census in Seattle’s King County, Washington found. The problem is “exploding” in cities with expensive housing markets, including Los Angeles, Portland and San Francisco, according to Governing magazine.
Amazon, Microsoft and other big tech companies are in the Seattle area. It is a region that is supposedly “prospering”, and yet this is going on.
Sadly, it isn’t just major urban areas that are seeing more people sleeping in their vehicles. Over in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, many of the homeless sleep in their vehicles

Counselors Claim Clients Face Trump Anxiety: ‘Fear of the World Ending’
“There is a fear of the world ending,” Elisabeth LaMotte, founder of D.C. Counseling and Psychotherapy Center, told CBC. “It’s very disorienting and constantly unsettling.”
CBC reported:
[LaMotte] refers to it as a “collective anxiety” among patients who feel on edge about how potentially dire the president’s decisions could be.
What’s been called “Trump Anxiety Disorder” has been on the rise in the months following the election, according to mental-health professionals from across the country who report unusually high levels of politics-related stress in their practices. And it’s maybe not surprising given the relentlessly negative headlines and politically divisive climate.

State calls Trump flag hoisted on Hatteras ferry ‘inappropriate’
A Trump 2020 flag hoisted above a state ferry boat caused a Twitter commotion Friday and a promise from the Ferry Division that the incident would be investigated.
“Clearly, this is an inappropriate use of a state-owned vessel that we are taking very seriously. We are working with NCDOT’s Office of Employee Relations to investigate the matter and will then take appropriate disciplinary action,” said a post on the Ferry Division’s Twitter feed.
The M/V Frisco was on a run between Hatteras and Ocracoke about twilight when the flag was spotted and photographed by a passenger, according to The Virginian-Pilot. It was hoisted on a mast that included the North Carolina state flag and the American flag.
“(N)o matter one’s political affiliation, putting any sort of campaign material on a state-owned vessel is not appropriate,” NCDOT spokesperson Andrew Barksdale told WRAL-TV.

Experts warn even sugar-free sodas are linked to weight gain, dementia and stroke
Drinking diet soda is just as bad for you as having a regular soda, a new report has claimed.
Even sugar-free drinks are raising the risk of weight gain, type 2 diabetes, dementia and stroke among US adults, the panel of doctors and researchers has warned.
They said that children are at an even greater risk of disease because consuming diet drinks at such a young age can create behaviors that follow them throughout their lives.
With obesity rates continuing to balloon in the US - and diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers following these trends - the experts say it is vital now more than ever to lay down the diet sodas to help curb the growing epidemic.
