A Viewer Writes: 3 Socialists Attended the County Council Forum
These 3 Socialists attended the County Council Forum last night hosted by the liberal Chesapeake Bay Foundation, PACE and the Daily Times. The audience was about half full and mostly SU college students that had to sign in to get credit for classes taught by PACE professors. It was strategically held at the liberal university to give the Progressive Socialists the upper hand . Questions included climate change, chicken farms, banning straws and plastic bags and banning an oil pipeline in Maryland. The Progressive Socialists wanted to ban everything. Jamaad Gould went as far as to say he was a trouble maker and that the chicken houses and the pipeline are designed to be built near black neighborhoods and the others agreed. Josh Hastings answered his first question with an attack on President Trump. What was interesting was the fact that these Socialist candidates attended this liberal forum but Jamaad Gould and Michele Gregory were No Shows at the Fraternal Order Of Police Forum the night before. Just Hastings was there but he told multiple lies like he did during his last campaign. That spoke volumes about these 3 County Council Candidates.
A Pittsville Viewer Writes: Photo enforced school zone signs
Mr. Joe
I know you had a Blog regarding police officer in Pittsville Maryland. But I was wondering have you seen where they put the new photo enforced school zone signs nowhere near Main Street behind Elementary and Middle School they've been placed on West Road just prior to Parker Road all the way to the stop sign where it intersects with Gumboro Road. I would like for someone in the county or state government to explain to me how West Road is a school zone. I just find it ridiculous that they consider Denver Moore's house in a school zone.
What Was That??
We are getting people reporting they heard a loud noise that sounded like and explosion. They are coming from different parts of the county. Did you hear anything? If so what area are you in
Governor Larry Hogan Calls For A Delay In Kavanaugh Vote
“The governor believes there should be a full investigation prior to the process moving forward in any way,” Hogan’s spokeswoman Amelia Chasse stated.
WHAT EVIDENCE? WHAT'S TO INVESTIGATE? It's a he said, she said situation 30 years later. Hogan, (and everyone else) knows this whole thing is a load of crap.
When I ran for Mayor, Jim Ireton went around making all kinds of statements and lies. Heck, even Julie Brewington made up multiple lies about me. Former Mayor Tilghman went to around 30 people at the Zoo to file false peace orders against me that were all lies.
These women can very easily LIE and put men in positions in which they have to defend themselves.
While Jealous is a complete jerk, Hogan must be pretty damn desperate to get his name involved in this crap.
Politicians today flat out SUCK! I've been watching/experiencing this crap for years. Yesterdays hearing was just that, a hearing. It was NOT a court of law. They can swear to tell the truth and it means NOTHING. I have experienced in a court room, (under oath) flat out LIES, Liberals don't care. I even watched a Judge flat out tear apart the Mayor and Police Chief where 7 direct witnesses testified the police chief yanked Tilghman off of Polk, yet the police chief stated to the press he didn't see a thing.
How about a male Mayor urinating into a sink in the ladies room with multiple women right there in that bathroom. Can you say, #Metoo?
There is no evidence from Ford. In fact, multiple people testified that they were there at the party and do not recall ANYTHING happening of the sort. It's a witch hunt, period. They need to vote and get it over with, no more delays. Shame on Governor Hogan.

Breaking News: Senator Jeff Flake, a crucial swing vote on Brett Kavanaugh, demanded an F.B.I. inquiry before a final vote, as a Senate panel advanced him.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted along party lines on Friday to advance Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s nomination to the full Senate, but in a dramatic reversal, Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona said he would not support final confirmation until the F.B.I. investigates accusations of sexual assault leveled against Judge Kavanaugh.

Worcester County Grand Jury Indicts Two In Large Pot Growing Operation
BERLIN — The Worcester County grand jury this week indicted at least two men on marijuana possession, distribution and manufacturing charges after a search warrant served last week revealed a vast, sophisticated pot-growing operation.
Last week, local law enforcement agencies executed a search and seizure warrant on a roughly 89-acre parcel of land on South Point Road that is home to a local hydroponic produce farm. The search revealed a pole barn on the property roughly 60 feet by 30 feet in size that allegedly housed marijuana plants.
According to State Department of Assessment and Taxation (SDAT) records, the property is owned by John H. and Karen Harrison, members of a prominent Ocean City hospitality industry family. The pole barn seized during the execution of the search warrant last week contained a sophisticated growing operation including a state-of-the-art irrigation and artificial lighting system. Nearly 100 marijuana plants were seized during the execution of the search warrant along with the associated equipment and the building itself.

Coast Guard Member 'Removed' for Making 'Offensive' Sign on Live TV
The U.S. Coast Guard says it "removed" a member from its Hurricane Florence response team Friday after he made an "OK" hand gesture on live TV that the service branch deemed "offensive."
The unidentified team member was caught looking into the camera and then swiftly making the hand gesture, prompting a backlash on social media.
The hand signal was seen in the background of MSNBC's live interview with Sector Charleston Commanding Officer Capt. John Reed, who was providing an update on actions taken by the Coast Guard in response to Hurricane Florence.
Many social media users called for the firing of the individual, accusing him of making a so-called "white power" hate symbol.
The agency immediately responded to the outcry and distanced from the controversy.
"We are aware of the offensive video on twitter -- the Coast Guard has identified the member and removed him from the response. His actions do not reflect those of the United States Coast Guard," the agency tweeted.

Salisbury Maryland Downtown Barber Shop Says They've Had Enough, Closes Their Doors
Ok, here goes... It is with a very heavy heart that I must say The Downtown Barbershop is closed permanently. It has been a great experience being downtown for nearly a decade, 8 days shy of 9 years. I've definitely had my ups and downs, happy and sad moments. I could go on and on, but I wont. I want to thank everyone down there that make the area down there what is. I will truly miss it.
Fret not though, Jack and I will be cutting hair at our new location, 804 E Main St Salisbury, MD 21804.
I received the certificate of occupancy today, so I'm going to be moving the shop tomorrow, setting up the next couple of days and then me and Jack are gonna take a couple of days to recharge ourselves. I'm really sorry this is going to inconvenience some of you, but I have to do it.
The next big shout outs go to Jack Butler for all of your hard work, it is greatly appreciated! Ricky Cantwell gets a great BIG SHOUT! Without your hard work and dedication to perfection, this wouldn't be possible so soon. You're the f**king man bro! If anyone needs work done, he's your guy! I'll vouch for him anytime!Gary Peek Jr. a true consummate professional in every aspect of the plumbing world. Your work is always flawless.

Publishers Notes: While I'm sure there's a multitude of reasons why Eric chose to close his doors at the Downtown location, the Salisbury Folk Festival was the final nail in the coffin. Being forced to shut down because the City took over all the parking was poorly planned. A local sub shop who had been told by the Mayor that they could expect their business to boom during the same Festival completely bombed and had next to zero sales because it was so poorly attended. This business may have to close their doors because they spent their working capitol on inventory for what was supposed to be a massive success.
Downtown parking, (meters) is a joke for these kind of businesses. If you pull up to a meter and it has 10 minutes left in it, when you put your 50 cents in the meter to gain another 30 minutes, guess what, it will only go to 30 minutes and NOT add the 10 minutes already on the meter. Everything Downtown any more is a scam. Businesses can't survive there. They're sold a bill of goods but in the end, (like Eric) they come to learn it's just not worth it.
We wish Eric the best for his future. He's the best Barber on the entire Shore.
Sen. Chris Coons: Burden of proof lies with Kavanaugh to prove innocence
Conservatives condemn 'Democratic kangaroo court'
Sen. Chris Coons, Delaware Democrat, drew double-takes on the right Monday after insisting that the burden of proof lies with Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to prove his innocence.
Mr. Coons said that Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez “have nothing to gain” and have put themselves “at legal risk” by accusing Mr. Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct in his teen years.
“It is Judge Kavanaugh who is seeking a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court and who I think now bears the burden of disproving these allegations,” said Mr. Coons in a Monday interview on MSNBC, “rather than Dr. Ford andDeborah Ramirez who should be dismissed with slanderous accusations.”
Townhall.com’s Guy Benson called the argument “just wild,” while the Media Research Center blasted it as the “Dem idea of justice.”

Is There A Decent Democrat Left In America?
The attempted character assassination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh has brought out the worst in Democrats, every Democrat, everywhere. They’ve convicted a good and decent man of things he wasn’t even falsely accused of, so desperate are progressives to stop someone who believes the Constitution means what it says from sitting on the Supreme Court. From elected officials to unelected Democrats with media credentials, the last two weeks have exposed the Democratic Party as a gaggle of guttersnipes willing to destroy a man for the “crime” of disagreeing with them politically. After watching this unfold, you really have to wonder one thing: Is there a single decent, honest Democrat left in the United States?
The circus Democratic Senators created surrounding the Kavanaugh nomination should serve as a scarlet letter on every single one of them for the rest of their lives and should stain the buildings they’ll fund in their states with our tax dollars with will bare their names. It’s a disgrace.
Accusations that would get laughed out of any court in the land before they got in the door are treated as if they were carved into stone tablets by a burning bush by these charlatans. And now the entrance of Creepy Porn Lawyer with bogus allegations of serial gang rape at parties in the early 80s where no one ever said a word, yet people still voluntarily attended. It’s so stupid it’s funny.
The worst of the worst, at least among those not employed by major newspapers or CNN and MSNBC, are Senators Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Kirsten Gillibrand from New York. Each, on several occasions, have said things about Judge Kananaugh that would get them sued for their net worth and more if they’d said it about anyone not a public figure.

The Return Of The Inquisition: Do You Confess?
In 279 BC, the vast army of King Pyrrhus of Epirus was met by Roman forces at the Battle of Asculum in southern Italy, in what would be one of the costliest military engagements of ancient history.
Pyrrhus fancied himself the second coming of Alexander the Great and believed that he was a descendant of Achilles.
Many of his peers and contemporaries believed Pyrrhus to be the greatest military commander of all time.
His exploits were legendary. And when he set sail for Italy in 280 BC, the Romans did not underestimate him.
The Battle of Asculum was decisive. Pyrrhus actually won the battle; but in defeating the Romans, he lost so many of his men that his army was practically broken.
Pyrrhus purportedly said of his victory, “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined. . .”
This gave rise to the term “Pyrrhic victory,” which refers to a win that’s incredibly costly.
Pyrrhus also tried his hand at diplomacy with Rome, sending one of his ablest statesmen to the capital to negotiate peace with the Roman Senate.
The emissary was not successful. But he reported back to Pyrrhus that Rome’s Senate was incredibly impressive– “an assembly of kings” comprised of its noblest citizens.
And he was right. In the early days when Rome was still a republic, its Senate was a highly revered institution that stood for wisdom, dignity, and virtue.
They were far from perfect. But the men who served in the Senate during the early republic were heavily responsible for building the most advanced civilization the world had ever seen up to that point.
Needless to say, times changed. Within a few hundred years, the Senate had become a corrupt joke, filled with venal criminals, weak sycophants, and mediocre minds.
I couldn’t help but think of this analogy yesterday watching the Inquisition of Brett Kavanaugh.
If you’re living under a rock (or reading this letter many years from now), Brett Kavanaugh has been nominated to serve as a Justice of the United States Supreme Court. This requires that he be confirmed by the Senate.
Recently a woman emerged who accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when they were all teenagers, several decades ago.
