Eight Maryland Schools Named National Blue Ribbon Schools
BALTIMORE ( September 27, 2019)-- U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has recognized eight Maryland schools as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2019. The recognition is based on a school’s overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.
“We recognize and honor your important work in preparing students for successful careers and meaningful lives” said U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos in a video message to the honorees. “As a National Blue Ribbon School, your school demonstrates what is possible when committed educators hold all students and staff to high standards and create vibrant, innovative cultures of teaching and learning.”
“Education is our number one priority, and these eight schools represent the best of what Maryland has to offer – exceptional teachers working with dedicated students to achieve great success in the classroom and beyond,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “We congratulate the leadership, teachers, students, parents, and everyone involved with these outstanding schools on this distinguished honor.”

Conservative Activists Clean Up 50 Tons Of Garbage In Dem Run LA; Crickets From MSM
The left will continue to lecture and scream about “climate change”…yet.. they do nothing to help clean up the mess their policies have caused. While a bunch of not so sane children and parents marched for “climate change…a group of folks took their time to clean up 50 tons of trash.
Bravo to Scott Presler! Maybe the left should stop lecturing and help clean up the mess they caused!
Via The Daily Wire:
In August, a group of Trump supporters led by conservative activist Scott Presler went to West Baltimore for a massive clean-up operation following tweets sent by President Donald Trump highlighting the dire conditions in the area.
Keeping to his promises, Presler has since led clean-up efforts in Newark, New Jersey and Virginia Beach, Virginia. And on Saturday, Presler and some 200 volunteers headed to Democrat-run Los Angeles, removing a stunning 50 tons of garbage, according to the activist.

Legacy’s Shadow: Rising Hearts from a Sunken Ship
Legacy’s Shadow: Rising Hearts from a Sunken Ship
By: Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Lally
Editor's Note: Click on images to download high-resolution version.
The dark, cloudy, moonless night held an ominous vibe as multiple vessels in a convoy steamed toward Wales through the choppy, rolling waves in the Bristol Channel on Sept. 26, 1918.
The crew of one vessel in particular settled in for the evening listening to the soft purr of the vessel’s engines reverberating throughout the ship, while the sounds of rolling waves from the sea lashed at the ship’s hull steaming through the channel. The watchstanders on the bridge were on the lookout for any signs of the enemy hiding in the murky waters.
The 190-foot Coast Guard Cutter Tampa’s crew and mission were to escort and protect the convoys they were assigned to in the Gibraltar area during World War I. On this particular night in September, the cutter Tampa crew potentially detected some sign of an enemy submarine and darted out ahead of the convoy to investigate.
At 8:45 p.m., the crews aboard the other vessels in the convoy heard a loud explosion. Later that evening when the convoy arrived in port it was discovered the cutter Tampa was missing and a joint search between the United States and British services was conducted. Unfortunately, all the search and rescue teams discovered were a few pieces of wreckage and two unidentifiable bodies in naval uniforms.
DC alcohol board dismisses challenge to Trump hotel liquor license
The D.C. Alcoholic Beverage Control Board struck down a challenge to Trump International Hotel's liquor license by a group claiming President Trump was "not of good character."
The board dismissed the complaint Wednesday because the Trump Organization proved "that the purported group of eight residents and property owners does not contain at least five residents or property owners" in Washington, D.C. The complaint was dismissed without standing.
This was the group's second attempt to shut down the hotel's liquor license. The board rejected the initial complaint because they had already given the license to the hotel. The renewal for the hotel's liquor license was in May.
The group had made their complaint against the hotel's license based on their claim that Trump lacks character.

Florida teacher reassigned over quiz question about President Trump
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (WPEC) — A teacher at Watson B. Duncan Middle School in Florida has been reassigned after an inappropriate question on an online quiz about President Donald Trump.
A parent tweeted out a photo of a multiple-choice test question given to students in a Computer Applications class.
The question reads, “45th president, 2017, Republican, Real Estate businessman, idiot.”
And below that question are several possible answers: “Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter.”

GM Reverses, Will Pay For Striking Union Workers’ Health Insurance; Major Issues Remain
DETROIT (Reuters) – General Motors Co said on Thursday it will pay for the health insurance of its striking hourly workers, reversing a decision to push the costs onto the United Auto Workers union as officials on both sides said major issues remain to be resolved.
No agreement was expected Thursday even as talks were continuing and could continue into the weekend, UAW and GM officials said.
Because of the complex nature of shifting health care coverage costs, GM said Thursday that UAW members’ coverage had never lapsed.
“Given the confusion around what was happening, we chose to work with our providers to ensure that the benefits would remain fully in place,” GM spokesman Jim Cain said.

Trump to cut number of refugees allowed in U.S. to lowest ever
Washington — The Trump administration on Thursday announced it plans to admit the lowest number of refugees in U.S. history over the next 12 months, placing a cap of fewer than 20,000 spots for millions of people around the world displaced by war, ethnic conflict and other forms of persecution.
The U.S. is planning to resettle no more than 18,000 refugees in fiscal year 2020, which begins next month. The new ceiling represents the third consecutive and lowest ever reduction of spots for a refugee admissions program created in 1980 that has repeatedly come under fire from President Trump and immigration hardliners in his administration.
Since former President Obama outlined a 110,000 year cap for his final year in office, his successor reduced that number to 45,000 in fiscal year 2018 and then to 30,000, the current limit. The new ceiling — which will be officially instituted after the White House consults with Congress — represents the latest effort by the administration to overhaul the nation's legal immigration system.

'Partisanship as news coverage': Tucker Carlson hits back at Shepard Smith for scolding him
A war of words between two Fox News personalities escalated when Tucker Carlson hit back at Shepard Smith after the daytime host characterized Carlson’s handling of one of his guests as “repugnant.”
The feud began Tuesday when Carlson brought former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova on his opinion show after Democrats announced they had begun an impeachment inquiry into President Trump. DiGenova ripped Fox News contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano, calling him “a fool” for saying during an interview with Smith that Trump had already admitted to committing a crime.
Smith on Wednesday expressed pointed disapproval that Carlson did not challenge diGenova over the statement, and said, “Attacking our colleague who is here to offer legal assessments on our air, in our work home, is repugnant.”

6 Risky Drugs for Seniors
Prescription medications offer amazing benefits for controlling the symptoms of illness, or even leading to a cure. But they can also put you at risk for more serious illness, or even death.
According to experts, a staggering 1.5 million Americans die each year from medication mistakes, and many of them are senior citizens.
Dr. Patricia Salber, a leading internist and emergency care physician from San Francisco who runs the website TheDoctorWeighsIn.com, tells Newsmax that the numbers may be growing because so many baby boomers are now seniors, and are taking prescription drugs.
And many elderly people cannot tolerate certain medications — even medications the patient has taken before.
“Basically, any drug that needs to be cleared from the kidneys can be problematic for the elderly, who have reduced renal function,” says Salber. “Also, many drugs have anticholinergic effects, which can cause cognitive changes including delirium. They can also cause urinary retention and constipation. I always recommend a trial of nondrug intervention before resorting to prescription medication.”
Here are six most risky classes of drugs for seniors:

'It could blow up in their face': 2020 Democrats tiptoe around the Joe Biden-Ukraine furor
Most of Joe Biden's 2020 Democratic opponents are pushing for the impeachment of President Trump over the whistleblower complaint involving Ukraine but are remaining silent on the subject of Hunter Biden's activities in Ukraine.
That may change soon.
The former vice president bragged in 2018 that he threatened to withhold $1 billion in United States loan guarantees during a 2016 trip to Kyiv if Ukraine didn’t fire top prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who had investigated Ukrainian oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky, whose Burisma Holdings company paid Biden's son, Hunter, $50,000 a month to sit on its board from 2014.
Bernie Sanders deflected questions about whether Democrats would use this against Joe Biden in the 2020 race but did not say the subject was off limits.

'The squad' smears the NRA as ‘mass murderers’ and ‘white supremacists’
Are you an ardent supporter of gun rights? Well, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and at least one of her cohorts in “the squad” think you’re a terrorist and mass murderer. At least, if you support the National Rifle Association.
In a video released last night, the squad is shown on tape reacting in real-time after NRA activists approach the four congresswomen respectively and ask them questions that are perhaps antagonistic, but well within the bounds of reasonable discourse. The extreme responses offered by Ocasio-Cortez and Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Michigan, in particular, reveal the socialist congresswomen have utter contempt for Americans who disagree with them, lack any respect for their political opponents, and are completely detached from reality.
There was a hearing today to ban semi-automatic rifles, so we thought it was an appropriate time to ask The Squad their thoughts on our #2A rights.

Former CIA official on whistleblower: ‘How could this be an intelligence matter?’
Fred Fleitz, president of the Center for Security Policy, served in 2018 as deputy assistant to the president and to the chief of staff of the National Security Council. He previously held national-security jobs with the CIA, the DIA, the Department of State, and the House Intelligence Committee staff. He remarks on the whistleblower complaint.
I am troubled by the complaint and wonder how an intelligence officer could file it over something a president said to a foreign leader. How could this be an intelligence matter?
It appears likely to me that this so-called whistleblower was pursuing a political agenda.
I am very familiar with transcripts of presidential phone calls since I edited and processed dozens of them when I worked for the NSC. I also know a lot about intelligence whistleblowers from my time with the CIA.

Radio host threatening to sue over anti-gay tweet the station claims he sent himself
A radio host in New Orleans said he received an anti-gay slur, sent to him from the radio station's Twitter account. On Wednesday, WWL host Seth Dunlap, who is openly gay, said he planned to sue the station's parent company after working for years in a homophobic and hostile workplace. In a strange turn of events Thursday, the New Orleans Police Department said the homophobic tweet sent to Dunlap came from none other than Dunlap's phone.
The tweet in question was sent earlier this month and the day it was sent, Dunlap hosted his show as usual. But the next day, he announced a leave of absence, CBS affiliate WWL-TV reports.
In a statement, Dunlap said 14 people had access WWL's Twitter account. He claimed he was not one of the people with access to the account.

NYTimes 'Outs' Ukraine-Call "Whistleblower" As CIA Officer
Soon after the Ukraine-gate "whistleblower" complaint was made public, questions about the source's knowledge and background began to rise, as one former CIA officer noted very specifically:
The way this complaint was written suggested the author had a lot of help. I know from my work on the House Intel Commitee staff that many whistleblowers go directly to the intel oversight committees. Did this whistleblower first meet with House Intel committee members?More
My view is that this whistleblower complaint is too convenient and too perfect to come from a typical whistleblower. Were other IC officers involved? Where outside groups opposed to the president involved?
This complaint will further damage IC relations with the White House for many years to come because IC officers appear to be politicizing presidential phone calls with foreign officials and their access to the president and his activities in the White House.
Worst of all, this IC officer -- and probably others -- have blatantly crossed the line into policy.
