NYPD cop who arrested two of the Central Park Five says they DID attack jogger and forensic evidence proves it

The NYPD police officer who made the first arrests in the Central Park Five investigation has condemned Netflix's drama When They See Us as 'lies' and said it puts the lives of cops and prosecutors at risk.

Eric Reynolds, who as a plainclothes officer arrested Raymond Santana and Kevin Richardson, tells DailyMailTV that the four-part television adaptation is so filled with errors that it is 'malicious recreation'.

He described the miniseries, produced by Robert De Niro and Oprah Winfrey and directed by Ava DuVernay, as 'total nonsense' that left him 'flabbergasted'.

Reynolds retired in 2001 after a 20-year career where he rose to Detective Third Grade and earned department recognition multiple times for his police work.

Biden describes granddaughter at 12 as a 'little butterfly' but then there was 'a snake in the bed'

In his first public appearance since Thursday night's contentious 2020 Democratic debate, Joe Biden addressed a large crowd at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition Convention in Chicago on Friday afternoon

The former vice president, 76, held hands with his granddaughter, Finnegan, 19, daughter of Hunter Biden, when he described what it was like to raise a young girl. He said, "When your daughter's about 12 and half years old you put this little butterfly in bed and you kiss it goodnight. Next morning you walk in and there's a snake in the bed."

Finnegan Biden looked uncomfortable and Biden's comment was met with some awkward chuckling from the crowd before his quickly segued into speaking about his sharply-criticized performance in the Democratic debate.

Accrediting agency puts UMD on warning due to “significant” concerns

A commission charged with reviewing the University of Maryland after the fallout from the death of a football player declined to reaffirm the school’s accreditation Thursday — placing it instead on a “warning” status.

Losing accreditation — a measure of an institution’s reputability — could mean students would be ineligible for federal financial aid, among other consequences. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which can revoke accreditation status, has been investigating this university for several months.

The commission announced Friday that it had “concerns [that] were significant enough” to place the school on “warning” and mandate that the probe continue. The school’s accreditation is intact as of now and will remain so during the next stage of the review.

U.S. Warning: Iranian Hackers Hitting Gov Agencies With Cyber Attacks

The American government sent an internal warning to federal agencies on Friday disclosing a rise "in malicious cyber activity" by Iranian regime hackers who are threatening sensitive computer systems, according to a copy of the warning obtained by the Free Beacon.

"The US Government has confirmed a recent rise in malicious cyber activity directed at US industries and government agencies by Iranian regime actors and proxies," an e-mail sent to employees of the Environmental Protection Agency reads. "Rising tensions between the US and Islamic Republic of Iran has resulted in targeted cyber campaigns that use destructive ‘wiper' attacks. These attacks are designed to delete and wipe data rather than the more common ransomware tactics of stealing data or money."

The hack attacks come as tensions between the U.S. and Iran hit a boiling point following Tehran's downing of an American drone in the Persian Gulf region. While Iran has always attempted to hack American systems, the government-wide warning could signify the Islamic Republic is becoming more emboldened on the cyber front.

"The ‘wiper' attacks can be carried out through spear phishing, password spraying and credential stuffing. What initially appears as an account compromise and data loss, can quickly turn into the entire network being compromised or destroyed," according to the government warning.

Roberts Helps Dems Rig Elections

With the amount of information the U.S. Census gathers every decade, it seems logical that one of the questions asked would be simply, “Are you a citizen of the United States?” Yet the very idea of asking this simple “yes” or “no” question outraged the Left — which is in a headlong rush to offer free stuff to anyone who arrives. And leftists found a judge and a Supreme Court willing to stop the Trump administration from adding this longstanding question back into the 2020 census.

While conventional wisdom held that SCOTUS would grant the administration’s request, the Left’s Hail Mary pass was the unearthing of an unreleased report penned by a now-deceased GOP consultant claiming the citizenship question could assist Republican candidates. Leftists struck pay dirt when a Barack Obama-appointed judge deemed that what’s become known as the Hofeller files — discovered and released by the estranged daughter of the late consultant Thomas Hofeller, who died last year — “raises a substantial issue” regarding the Trump administration’s claim that the question would assist in enforcing the Voting Rights Act. Opponents of the question contend that adding it would reduce responses from minorities despite the fact that citizens are required by law to do so.

As speculated here earlier this month, the ever-capricious Chief Justice John Roberts was the one handed Democrats a victory with another of his weirdly contorted decisions. He aided the Left in at least temporarily blocking the question, which Roberts said was valid but that the Trump administration “did not provide adequate reasoning” for its inclusion.

As The Wall Street Journal explains, “The question in Department of Commerce v. New York was whether Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross acted within his purview in reinstating a citizenship question on the 2020 census.

That’s not the question the Court ended up deciding. Instead, the Chief held that, although Mr. Ross acted lawfully, his motives appear to have been less-than-pure.”

In other words, Roberts’s decision had to do with process and motives, not the Constitution.

21 MD Animal Shelters Waiving Adoption Fees for Felines in July

After finding homes for 2,590 cats and kittens in Maryland last July, Baltimore County Animal Services, Baltimore Humane Society, BARCS and the Maryland SPCA—all members of the Baltimore Animal Welfare Alliance (BAWA)—have once again partnered and invited other animal shelters in Maryland to join them for the third annual Maryland 2,000: Saving Lives Across Maryland adoption event. Participating shelters will be waiving adoption fees for all cats and kittens adopted in July.

"Summer is one of the busiest times of the year for animal shelters," said Christine Decorse, executive director of Baltimore Humane Society. "Known as 'Kitten Season,' it's when most kittens are born and when animal shelters in Maryland see a huge influx of kittens and cats coming through their doors."

"It's critical that we find homes for the cats and kittens currently in our shelters, so we can continue to take in and save other felines who need our help," said Dr. Lucia Donatelli, acting division chief with Baltimore County Animal Services. "The Maryland 2,000 is a way for our shelters to come together to raise awareness about shelter overcrowding and encourage families to consider adopting a cat or kitten from their local animal shelter."

Cory Booker’s Bogus Claim That Gun Licensing Reduces Crime

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker has been beating the drum on gun licensing for a little while now. He basically wants to take New Jersey’s draconian gun control laws and apply them on a national level. Those he can get away with, anyway.

To advance his proposals, he’s making some claims that aren’t nearly as backed up as he’d like to believe.

Last night, at the first Democratic candidate debate for the 2020 campaign, Sen. Cory Booker (D–N.J.) proved my prophecy correct when he said, “If you need a license to drive a car, you should need a license to buy and own a firearm. And not everybody in this field agrees with that, but in states like Connecticut that did that, they saw 40 percent drops in gun violence and 15 percent drops in suicides.”

Debate—Biden Faces No Questions About Son’s Ties to China

Former Vice President Joe Biden faced no questions over his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings with China during the two-hour Democrat presidential debate on Thursday.

Biden, who is the Democrat frontrunner, has been under pressure for weeks to explain the ties his son has to Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), a private equity firm upon whose board Hunter Biden sits. The company has received more than $1.5 billion in funding from groups associated with the government of the Republic of China, as reported in Peter Schweizer’s recent book—Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.

Hunter Biden’s financial dealings with China were front and center in Schweizer’s book, which he discussed during an in-depth interview with SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight in March 2018.

Police confirm Bravo, car found in South Bethany

The body of a Bethany Beach woman who had been missing for two weeks was found in a South Bethany canal just before 6 p.m. on Friday, June 28.

Approximately 16 hours later, Linda Bravo’s car was found in the canal, not far from where her body had been found, according to Capt. Darin Cathell of the Bethany Beach Police.

As of noon Saturday, June 29, Bravo’s body had been positively identified by the state Medical Examiner’s office, Cathell said.

Based on evidence gathered at the scene, Cathell said police believe Bravo’s death was caused by accidental drowning. “At this time we don’t suspect any type of foul play,” he said, based on preliminary information gathered by the Delaware State Police Crash Reconstruction Unit.

VB shooting survivor arrested after telling boss he didn’t want to work in Building 2

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – It’s been one month since the mass shooting inside Building 2 at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center. One of the employees there that day spent a night behind bars this week for allegedly disturbing the peace after he refused to return to the building.

“It’s a nightmare,” said John McIvor.

That nightmare for Jon McIvor began May 31. He was in Building 2 when a gunman killed 12 of his co-workers.

“I can’t believe somebody would do something like that,” McIvor added.

McIvor works in the IT department. For the past month he has been in Building 17. This week he was told he was going back to Building 2.

“People lost their lives in there and right now I wasn’t ready to get back in there and work,” McIvor said.

Local Chicken Farmers Featured in New National Video on Sustainability

Washington, D.C. (June 27, 2019) – Further delivering on its commitment to transparency, the National Chicken Council (NCC) unveiled a new video featuring four chicken farms in Maryland and Delaware, that offers consumers a first-hand look onto the farms and their various sustainability practices.

The video features Rachel Rhodes, who raises chickens for Allen Harim; Janice Vickers, who raises chickens for Perdue Farms; and Michelle Chesnik and Terry Baker, who raise chickens for Mountaire Farms.

“I think that any farmer in Maryland is concerned with our environment,” said Rachel Rhodes of Centreville, Md. “Because we live in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and we have so many regulations and permits that we adhere to, it's on the forefront of our minds every single day, from the time we wake up to the time we go to bed. How can we make sure that we're protecting the Bay for ourselves and for our children?

“Making sure that it’s sustainable and that our kids get to farm on this property is incredibly important to us,” she continued. “If you're not taking care of your soil and your air, then you have nothing. And, making sure that we do that, either through our cropland production or in our chicken houses, it’s just our lifeblood. It's important for us to run a farm that is sustainable because we have children who will inherit this farm, and we want to make sure they can have this farm in 100 years.”

Michelle Chesnik of Willards, Md. added, “For us, our chicken farm is not only a chicken farm, or a commercial operation, it's our home. And I want our home to be sustainable. I want the community I live in to be sustainable, and to give the best I can to the environment. You only get out of the environment what you put into it. Being sustainable is all part of being a really good neighbor.”

“I like maintaining the farm, keeping it under control and keeping it clean,” said Janice Vickers of Millsboro, Del. “And we don't want to pollute anything. I raised my children here, and we all go out and go fishing and boating, and just like everybody else, I want to keep the environment clean.”

“My father was raised on Deal Island and we went out on the water a lot,” said Terry Baker of Millsboro, Del. “We crabbed, fished a lot growing up, and I want my children to be able to do the same. So, it became very important to us to make sure that we had a positive impact on the environment. The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure. We spent a lot of time there growing up, and taking my kids camping at Assateague Island, fishing and swimming. I work every day to do my best to preserve it for my grandchildren one day.”

Chinese Company Buying New Jersey College Campus

Rider University is selling one of its satellite campuses to a Chinese company on Monday, according to a Purchase and Sale Agreement signed last year by the school’s Board of Trustees.

Beijing Kaiwen Education Technology Co. Ltd will buy Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, next week. The Chinese education company is expected to spend $40 million on the Rider University satellite campus.

The Rider University Board of Trustees first announced last year that it had signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the transfer of Westminster Choir College, which also includes the Westminster Conservatory and Westminster Continuing Education.

In addition to the $40 million purchase, the company is also pledging to spend $16 million for capital and working capital expenditures in Westminster over a five year period, according to Rider University.

Not everyone, however, is pleased about the acquisition.

The university’s administration is facing two lawsuits challenging the legality of selling the satellite campus to the Chinese company, which includes an investigation by New Jersey’s Office of the Attorney General.

Stabbing Suspect Waives Extradition

OCEAN CITY — Two weeks after being identified as the suspect in a double-stabbing on the Boardwalk, a Pennsylvania man this week waived extradition and is heading back to Worcester County to face first- and second-degree assault charges.

On Monday, June 10, with the help of the city-wide surveillance system and an alert resort hotel employee, the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) identified Harold Rafael Nunez-Dominguez, 19, of Harrisburg, Pa., as the suspect in a double-stabbing incident on the Boardwalk the night before. In the two weeks since, Nunez-Dominguez has been in custody in Pennsylvania awaiting an extradition hearing that would send him back to Worcester County to face trial.

On Monday, Nunez-Dominguez waived extradition and will now be transferred back to Worcester County to face trial for his role in the June 9 incident on the Boardwalk. According to Worcester County State’s Attorney Kristin Heiser, when Nunez-Dominguez is returned to Worcester, he will face first- and second-degree assault charges.

Kamala Harris throws Joe Biden's candidacy into crisis with ferocious attack

Democrats debating Thursday in the second installment of a two-night slugfest split on how far the United States should drift toward socialism and listened with unhinged jaws as the roster's lone black member ripped into former Vice President Joe Biden over his history on race.

California Sen Kamala Harris stepped into the spotlight by roasting Biden for his recent nostalgia about a pair of segregationist Democratic senators, and lambasted him for opposing federal intervention decades ago to desegregate America's schools through forced busing.

President Donald Trump, 13 time zones away, watched as all 10 rivals agreed that future health care systems should cover illegal immigrants – and declared that he has already won re-election, tweeting later that it was 'not a good day for Sleepy Joe or Crazy Bernie'.

The President said: 'I am in Japan at the G-20, representing our Country well, but I heard it was not a good day for Sleepy Joe or Crazy Bernie. One is exhausted, the other is nuts - so what’s the big deal?'

FBI Urges Universities To Monitor Some Chinese Students And Scholars In The U.S.

U.S. intelligence agencies are encouraging American research universities to develop protocols for monitoring students and visiting scholars from Chinese state-affiliated research institutions, as U.S. suspicion toward China spreads to academia.

Since last year, FBI officials have visited at least 10 members of the Association of American Universities, a group of 62 research universities, with an unclassified list of Chinese research institutions and companies.

Universities have been advised to monitor students and scholars associated with those entities on American campuses, according to three administrators briefed at separate institutions. FBI officials have also urged universities to review ongoing research involving Chinese individuals that could have defense applications, the administrators say.

"We are being asked what processes are in place to know what labs they are working at or what information they are being exposed to," Fred Cate, vice president of research at Indiana University, tells NPR. "It's not a question of just looking for suspicious behavior — it's actually really targeting specific countries and the people from those countries."

In a statement responding to NPR's questions, the FBI said it "regularly engages with the communities we serve. As part of this continual outreach, we meet with a wide variety of groups, organizations, businesses, and academic institutions. The FBI has met with top officials from academia as part of our ongoing engagement on national security matters."

While law enforcement agents have discussed university monitoring of other nationalities as well, these FBI briefings addressed visitors from China in particular who are involved in science, technology, engineering and math.

Parents Call Out School Board’s Transgender Policy Proposal

ARLINGTON, Va.—A group of concerned parents held a press conference just ahead of a scheduled Arlington County School Board meeting Tuesday evening about the adoption of a policy concerning transgender student protections in the school district.

The press conference’s purpose was to publicly air that parents of children in Arlington Public Schools have felt unable to voice their concerns for child safety regarding the proposed policy implementation procedure, or PIP.

Ocean City doubles receptacles for cigarette butts

After finalizing placement parameters, Ocean City has more than doubled the number of cigarette “butt huts” being installed on street ends west of the Boardwalk in an effort to recycle one of the most common forms of litter on the planet.

Public Works Director Hal Adkins said since the city was awarded a $2,000 grant from the Worcester County Health Department last November, the city has worked with the Maryland Coastal Bays Program to see discarded butts land in a better place that does not involve littering the roadways or floating out into area waters.

Adkins said his department had constructed 40 cigarette butt huts, which are similar to those located along the beach, but has ramped up production following a review of possible locations.

County fretting over state aid, teacher raises

At issue was whether the commissioners would approve the teacher salary increases that were called for and funded by the Maryland General Assembly’s education bill, The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future.

Vince Tolbert, chief financial officer for the Worcester County Board of Education, said the legislation — and the funding — covers fiscal years 2020 and 2021. He added $165,478 was allocated for the school district.
