Celebs getting naked to beg for votes is yet another downfall of 2020

By now you should probably stop asking yourself how low a democrat would go, because this story will certainly tell you that the morally bankrupt democrat celebrities have no shame when it comes to enticing voters to vote for a Biden/Harris ticket! But wait, what happened to the #metoo movement?

These celebs want you to know it’s cool to get political and boogie on down with the government.

But not just any member of government. Their chosen candidate. Many explicitly tell you the only worthy person for the job is Joe Biden, while others simply tell people to vote, leaving the second part silent but implied. However, we know what we are supposed to do: Go Dem. Yas queen! Many of these stars are the same people who urged you to donate your money to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, which bailed out people arrested for violent crimes.

Navarro says Chinese government led ‘calculated’ effort to censor VP debate

White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro on Thursday night said the Chinese government censored Wednesday night’s vice presidential debate in a “calculated” effort to deceive people.

Navarro made the claim in a Fox News interview when asked by host Martha MacCallum to comment on reports that feeds of debate stopped working in China.

“What China does is they regularly monitor international broadcast,” Navarro said. “You got your seven or 10 second delay. And this was quite calculated on their part.”

Navarro also alleged that the Democratic Party was working in tandem with the Chinese government against President Trump.

“What we have is the Democrat Party and the Chinese Communist Party effectively making common cause in the defeat of Donald J. Trump,” he said.

n one instance of China’s debate outage, documented on Twitter by Beijing-based reporter Nathan VanderKlippe, the feed cut out when Pence criticized China. The debate was televised in the country on CNN.

Mediate reported the disruption lasted for about three minutes, beginning when Pence blamed China for the coronavirus.

During the interruption, the screen for viewers in China with access to CNN read “No Signal Please Stand By.”

The debate kicked back on when Harris claimed the Trump administration’s foreign relations with China has “resulted in the loss of American lives, American jobs, and America’s standing,” Mediate reported.

Officials issue warning after venomous hairy caterpillars spotted in Virginia

It’s a hair-raising situation.

A breed of hairy caterpillars — considered the most poisonous in the US — have recently been spotted in Virginia.

The state Department of Forestry is warning residents to be on the lookout for puss caterpillars, which look soft and furry — but have hidden sharp spines that can stick to human skin.

“The ‘hairs’ of this caterpillar are actually venomous spines that cause a painful reaction if touched,” the agency wrote on Facebook.

The Cousin Itt-like critters’ venomous spines can cause symptoms including intense pain, itchy rashes, nausea and vomiting when touched or brushed up against, according to the University of Michigan.

Last month, a woman in Richmond, Va., went to the emergency room after a run-in with one of the so-called “toxic toupees.”

“It felt exactly like a scorching-hot knife passing through the outside of my calf,” Crystal Spindel Gaston told the Virginia Mercury.

Measuring less than 2 inches, the creepy crawlies feed on shade trees such as elm, oak and sycamore and are usually found in Southern states, going up north to Maryland and west to Texas.

No need to read between the lines

That's because, Ashley Teagle, Wicomico County's' Library's Executive Director, spelled it all out for us this past week.

On Tuesday, she met with the County leaders to discuss the Library's plans for re-opening, since the main branch that she heads is the last to do so, however; the focus quickly shifted to Teagle's resignation, which she handed to the Council on that same night.

Teagle, said the relationship between the library and the local government was, "My number one reason for leaving my post".

She has been the director since January of 2019, and feels the legislative body has to much control over the library.

“The county charter and the control it gives the county government over the library I think is very dangerous because I think it gives the government a lot of control in what information the library is making accessible to the community,” she said. “And I personally received questions from members of this body about matters ranging from library programs that we’re offering to what grants we’re accepting.”

The outgoing Director also, didn't like what she considered, "Threats that resulted from a proposed Drag Queen Story Hour program".

Council President Larry Dodd said he was, "Surprised to hear of the issues", and vowed to investigate, while Councilman John Cannon said, “It’s a lesson we are learning a little too late, and we are having to pay the price with you leaving.”

In Record 36% Turnout, Tyndall Receives 69% Of Vote To Win Berlin Mayor’s Seat

With an overwhelming show of support at the polls, voters elected Councilman Zack Tyndall to replace incumbent Gee Williams as Berlin’s mayor.

Tyndall, who’s served on the town council for the past four years, earned 69% of Tuesday's Mayoral votes. Also up for grabs were 3 council seats the winners of those seats were Jack Orris in District 2, Shaneka Nichols in District 3 and Jay Knerr for the at-large position.

“I think that it’s going to be a good thing for the town,” Tyndall said late Tuesday night. “The people are ready to take a different step forward and I’m happy to help them do that along with the three new councilmembers.”

Tyndall, 30, is a lifelong Berlin resident who defeated Orris to win a town council seat in 2016. Though he was unsuccessful in a 2018 bid to become a Worcester County Commissioner, Tyndall has been a vocal member of the town council the last two years. After announcing his intention to run for mayor in June, he campaigned for change and has shared his vision for a financially sustainable, well maintained community.

County Okays No-Interest Riverboat Loan To Snow Hill With CARES Funds A Major Unknown

County officials this week officially approved the loan allowing Snow Hill to purchase a riverboat, with or without CARES Act funding.

The Worcester County Commissioners on Tuesday voted 5-2 to approve a $400,000 zero-interest loan that will allow Snow Hill to purchase the Black Eyed Susan, a 149-passenger riverboat. Though the commissioners voted two weeks ago to use CARES Act funding to purchase the boat, county staff now say it’s not clear whether the funding can be used for the purchase.

“There is a reluctance for anybody to give us a firm yes or no,” Chief Administrative Officer Harold Higgins said.

Tom Perlozzo, the county’s director of tourism, economic development and recreation and parks, presented the commissioners with plans on how his departments intended to use $250,000 in CARES Act funding designated for the south end of the county on advertising.

“We thought the best opportunity was to move forward with the small interest loan … and use the CARES Act money for what it was designated to do,” Perlozzo said.

Nordstrom said staff had assured the commissioners two weeks ago that the CARES money could be used for the riverboat.

Higgins said it was 50/50 whether the funding could be used for the boat but that the county wouldn’t lose the money because it would use it on advertising if it couldn’t use it for the boat.

8,800 part-time workers at Disney World among 28,000 layoffs in Disney’s parks division

About 8,800 part-time union workers at Walt Disney World in Florida will be part of the 28,000 layoffs in Disney’s parks division in California and Florida, union officials said Wednesday.

The addition of the union workers to nearly 6,500 nonunion layoffs already announced brings the Disney-related job losses in Florida to more than 15,000 workers.

Disney officials announced last week that it was laying off 28,000 workers because of the coronavirus pandemic. Two-thirds of the planned layoffs involved part-time workers and they ranged from salaried employees to hourly workers.

Disney’s parks closed last spring as the pandemic began spreading in the U.S. The Florida parks reopened this summer, but the California parks have yet to reopen as the company awaits guidance from the state of California.

In a letter to employees, Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experience and Product, said California’s “unwillingness to lift restrictions that would allow Disneyland to reopen” exacerbated the situation for the company.

Maryland's Ban on Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Styrofoam Food Service Products What You Need to Know

The Law During the 2019 legislative session the Maryland General Assembly passed Chapter

579 (Sections 92201 through 9-2207 of the Environment Article, Annotated Code of

Maryland) banning the use of food service products (e.g., cups, plates, bowls, trays,

etc.) composed of expanded polystyrene (EPS), commonly referred to under the trademark name

of Styrofoam. The law states that on or after July 1, 2020, a person may not sell or offer for sale

in the state an EPS food service product; and a food service business or school may not sell or

provide food or beverages in an EPS food service product.

Emergency Extension

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic and on behalf of the Hogan Administration, Secretary of the

Environment Ben Grumbles issued a public notice extending the deadline for food service

businesses or schools to stop selling or providing food or beverages in EPS food service

products to October 1, 2020, or 30 days after Maryland’s COVID-19 State of Emergency is

terminated, whichever is earlier. The Public Notice was issued pursuant to Governor Larry

Hogan’s proclamation of a state of emergency and a catastrophic health emergency related to

COVID-19. The public notice is a very limited time extension to help schools or business use up

existing inventories of ESP. It does not change other aspects of the law, including the July 1,

2020 deadline for a person (e.g. an EPS manufacturer or wholesaler) to sell an EPS food service

product in the State. For example, a restaurant with existing inventory of EPS cups may continue

to provide beverages in those cups until October 1, 2020, or 30 days after Maryland’s COVID-19

State of Emergency is terminated, whichever is earlier. However, a distributor of EPS cups is

prohibited from selling new EPS cups to that restaurant, effective July 1, 2020.

Discretionary Waiver

Under the law, the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) may grant to a food service

business or school a waiver from the law for a period of up to one year if the department

determines that achieving compliance would present an undue hardship or a practical difficulty

not generally applicable to other food service businesses or schools in similar circumstances.

Enforcement

A county’s local health or environmental department shall enforce the law. A county may

impose a penalty not exceeding $250 on a person or food service business that violates any part

of the law. A penalty may not be imposed under this section unless: the unit of county

government first issues a written notice of violation to the person or the food service business;

and the violation is not corrected within 3 months of receipt of the written notice. The law

requires the county to notify MDE of any violation of the law.
