We all know that this year’s flu season is bad.
I have been pouring over numbers and reports over the past few days, and it’s actually even worse than we’re hearing about. Tens of thousands of Americans are dying. It’s now worse than the 2009 swine flu outbreak and is on track with the 2014-15 strain. And it’s not showing any signs of slowing down.
Despite this, the media is downplaying the severity of the flu and the government makes the statistics pretty difficult to find. Are they trying to avoid a panic? Do they know something we don’t?
Here’s what you need to know about why this year’s flu is so dangerous.

Md. Boy's Skull Pierced With Screw In Treehouse-Building Accident
Darius Foreman was building a treehouse Saturday when he fell from a branch, knocking over a five-foot-long wooden board, which came down on top of his head, his mother Joy Ellingsworth recounted.
An X-ray from Johns Hopkins Hospital, where the boy was airlifted, shows a portion of the screw lodged right between the two halves of the brain — threatening to tear the largest channel that drains blood and other fluids from the brain. Injury to this part of the brain could have been “catastrophic,” according to his surgeon, Dr. Alan Cohen.
“He was a millimeter away from having himself bleed to death,” Cohen, chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins, told CNN.
“I absolutely panicked,” Ellingsworth said. “It was very scary, one of the scariest things I’ve ever been through.”

Family Farmers Ask Maryland Legislators to Oppose Costly, Unneeded Air Monitoring Bill
The bill, crossfiled in the House of Delegates as House Bill 26, would require Maryland taxpayers to finance a study determining how to monitor air emissions from 245 family farms raising animals. The bill as it is written would not actually improve public health, and it ignores all the evidence showing Eastern Shore air is clean and healthy.
DPI is also sharing with its members, with legislators, and with the public a clearinghouse of information about air quality on Maryland's Eastern Shore so Marylanders can rest assured chicken farms are completely compatible with clean, healthy air quality.
“I’ve spent almost every day of the past 43 years in chicken houses,” said Bobbie Reed, a Caroline County family farmer. “I do appreciate the concerns that people have about health issues for them and their children, but I have yet to see any scientific evidence that chicken houses are the cause of that. As we retire, our grandson is taking over our poultry operation. I’m completely confident that we are not putting him in any danger.”
“When I walk into the chicken house, if I’m not comfortable, my chickens are not comfortable,” said Mary Lou Brown, who with her family owns and operates a chicken farm in Hurlock, Maryland. “I ventilate my houses very carefully and have vegetative buffers completely surrounding my chicken houses. I want to ensure the quality of life for my family and my neighbors while providing food.”
"Long-running air quality monitoring in the heart of Delmarva’s chicken-producing region shows air here is cleaner, with lower particulate levels, than the EPA’s standard for particulate matter, and cleaner than air in our region’s urban areas," said Holly Porter, DPI's assistant executive director. "In Wicomico County, where there are hundreds of family-owned chicken houses, the adult asthma rate is lower than the Maryland average."
"It makes no sense to have a Maryland-only system of measuring air emissions from family-owned farms because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of developing a detailed national protocol," said Bill Satterfield, DPI's executive director. "There is a huge cost associated with developing the protocol and using it on all large animal-feeding operations."

Hollywood’s Attempt to Stop Eastwood's New Movie
As Hollywood Tries to Stop New Patriotic Movie, Clint Eastwood Gives Them Brutal Surprise
Clint Eastwood’s new movie, “The 15:17 to Paris,” is based on true events, where three American heroes stopped a terrorist on a Paris train in 2015, and it is causing the Hollywood crowd to go nuts. They just tried to put the kibosh on certain scenes that didn’t fit their liberal agenda, and boy, that made Eastwood mad. So, the famous actor and director who voted for President Donald Trump just slapped the leftists hard with a brutal surprise. You’re going to love it.
Clint Eastwood’s new movie, “The 15:17 to Paris,” is based on true events, where three American heroes stopped a terrorist on a Paris train in 2015, and it is causing the Hollywood crowd to go nuts. They just tried to put the kibosh on certain scenes that didn’t fit their liberal agenda, and boy, that made Eastwood mad. So, the famous actor and director who voted for President Donald Trump just slapped the leftists hard with a brutal surprise. You’re going to love it.
Clint Eastwood is an American icon and is probably the most famous conservative actor and director in Hollywood. Eastwood’s legendary work affords him the ability to pick and chose what type of movies he’ll make, and he loves making patriotic American movies.
His current film, “The 15:17 to Paris,” is in the final edits, but the Hollywood crowd hates it, and they tried to stop certain people from seeing it. The reason is the pro-American message it sends, described in this synopsis on Google: “In the early evening of August 21, 2015, the world watched in stunned silence as the media reported a thwarted terrorist attack on Thalys train #9364 bound for Paris—an attempt prevented by three courageous young Americans traveling through Europe.”
The summary adds, “Throughout the harrowing ordeal, their friendship never wavers, making it their greatest weapon and allowing them to save the lives of the more than 500 passengers on board. The heroic trio is comprised of Anthony Sadler, Oregon National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, and U.S. Air Force Airman First Class Spencer Stone, who play themselves in the film.”
The movie stirs real patriotic emotion and honors the three American heroes who have military backgrounds. It shows an Islamic terrorist, who gains entry into France as a migrant, attempting to slaughter 500 people, with three Americans stopping him. This just isn’t the type of movie the Hollywood crowd makes, and they tried to screw Eastwood by giving it an “R” rating.
The reason they gave for the “R” rating was it showed “violence,” and this pissed off Clint Eastwood, who is making this film so teens could also see a movie with real American values. It was a cheap shot by the liberal Hollywood idiots, and Eastwood decided that wasn’t going to happen. The legendary star shocked the Hollywood crowd by taking on the rating board himself, something that never happens. And, not only did he take them on, he blew them away.
“Clint Eastwood has won an appeal to overturn the R rating originally assigned to his upcoming film, The 15:17 to Paris. Instead, it will be rated PG-13. According to a source, the R rating was given for the train attack scene at the center of the film, which the Classification and Rating Administration described as ‘a sequence of violence and bloody images,’”reported Hollywood Reporter.
They added, “The Classification and Rating Appeals Board says it reviews 800 to 900 films each year, with fewer than 12 ratings a year appealed. Eastwood represented his own film on behalf of Warner Bros., which opens the film in theaters on Feb. 9.”
Clint doesn’t just play a “tough guy” in his movies, he showed those Hollywood snakes that he really is a tough guy who won’t be pushed around. He’ll make any darn movie he wants to make, and they won’t stop him from making sure as many Americans as possible can see it.
Here’s the highly awaited trailer for “The 15:17 to Paris” that just came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=IC_lnyn2R2Q
In case you’re wondering how much the Hollywood crowd detests this movie for its pro-American military theme along with its anti-Islam, anti-migrant message, here’s how one Hollywood critic describes it:
“But in the hands of someone like Eastwood, this [movie] reads like a recruitment ad for the military. Nothing diminishes the heroism of these three men, but in Eastwood’s hands, it looks like he’s coasting on their achievements to tell a story that will make some people think that they too can be heroes if they just head down to their local recruitment office.” [Source: Collider]
Well, let the haters hate. They loathe patriotism and they despise middle-class working Americans who love this country. They can’t stand Clint Eastwood who said that former President Barack Obama is “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.”
Lastly, what in the hell is wrong with sending the message to teens that they too can be heroes? What is wrong with giving some kids the idea that joining the military is a heroic thing to do? This is exactly the kind of movie our young people need to see in today’s world that is filled with idiot celebrities pushing anti-American messages. If this movie inspires just one young American to join the military and make their life worthwhile, then Clint Eastwood’s film will be a resounding success.

BREAKING NEWS: Fire in the City, where are the Volunteers???
Fire out of the eaves and he has central alert station 74 because the volunteers from 2 scratched. You need more help there boss.
BREAKING NEWS: ARMED ROBBERY IN SALISBURY
More to come.
While We Didn't Cure The World's Problems Last Night, A Few Drinks Cured The Stress.
So last night we discussed many topics with some great minds. I was able to share, (and even show) the massive difficulties I'm having with Blogger/Google. What you don't know is for the past 5 weeks it takes me at least four times longer to put up posts. Imagine trying to send an e-mail to someone, you hit send and you get a fatal error. You try to send it again and you get the same error. Let's say this happens four times and you open a new screen to look at your send folder because you don't want to lose all the information you just put in that e-mail and you find that it had in fact sent. Sometimes it goes through in three attempts instead of four. I think you get my drift.
Now let's say you have to do this 50 to 70 times a day. It's very time consuming and frustrating. You might ask, why do you put up with it. Well, I have a pretty good idea as to why it is happening and I refuse to let them win. I provide a service, (we all discussed last night) that no one else provides. We deliver news and information that challenges local government and businesses without fear of retaliation. We allow you to share your thoughts anonymously without the fear of retaliation. You can't do that anywhere else.
Love us or hate us, we make an incredible difference. Facebook has admitted they're slowing down conservative discussions and guess what, Google/Blogger is clearly doing the very same thing. It's becoming so frustrating that even major Websites like Right Wing News is considering shutting down. Other major Websites are considering the very same thing.
So everyone asked, why are you still publishing when it takes so long and so frustrating. I replied, they're NOT going to beat me, period. This is exactly what the Liberals want. Their retaliation is to slow us down in the hope we'll just go away. For now, I'm just too hard headed. I've looked at chat rooms and even complaints on Blogger and guess what, this problem is only happening to conservative minded sites, GO FIGURE! I should add, if you think it's frustrating trying to get a comment through, imagine how difficult it is for me to put up each and every post.
I believe our President needs all the SBYNews Sites he can get out there. I believe YOU deserve to know when your Mayor is lying to you and talking out of both sides of his/her mouth. Look at what WBOC has been showing, (all positive) about the new bear at the Zoo. Never, will they show/discuss the conditions of the exhibits or the massive volume of animals dying at the Zoo. Am I really the Anti Christ for exposing these conditions while the taxpayers went from $200,000.00 a year budget wise to over $2,000,000.00 a year and the place looks like crap? Then your Mayor goes on camera and says he's going to fine you at 3 PM and guess what, one of my guests last night is a multiple property owner in Salisbury and they in fact did get a call from the City saying if their sidewalks weren't cleared by 3 PM they will be fined $100.00 for each property. Then the Mayor, (as we proved) went on line and said he didn't say he was going to fine anyone.
So I feel what I deliver seven days a week is very important. I simply hold everyone accountable so YOU can make sound decisions as to who or what you will or won't support.
Let me touch on comments for a moment. Unlike Colleges, (as we've now seen the past few days) I do not always agree with comments that I publish. I firmly believe in healthy debate and we're the only place on the Shore you can do so with the peace of mind that no one will know it's YOU that sent it in. Name calling and attacking people is not healthy debate, absent logical reasons for doing so. SBYNews is NOT a "Safe Space". I firmly believe it's HUMAN and healthy to be scared or to disagree. It's how we learn, how we grow and how we make sound decisions. Liberal Colleges seem to think that EVERYONE should be exactly alike. Next we'll see everyone living in the exact same home, same color, same windows, same everything. They'll have the exact same cars, make the exact same amount of money. Every Liberal will have a "safe space" and if you disagree with anyone opposite your color or gender you'll be labeled a racist. Jim Ireton proved that when I ran for Mayor.
Yeah, I'll suffer through the extra six hours a day to deal with the fatal errors, until they somehow completely shut me down. God blessed me with a very successful business career allowing me to retire. Anyone who honestly knows about retirement can tell you, it's cool the first six months but after that you go nuts trying to find things to do. In most cases retired people find a way to "Pay It Forward" and volunteer. In my case, I created a Blog and I serve tens of thousands of people who depend on what I do every day of the week/year. I hope all of you appreciate that. For what it's worth, I have also found the spare time to volunteer my time elsewhere.
To those who are invited to our bonfires, thanks for the incredible discussions. It's great to learn from others and grow as human beings. I'm thinking, instead of calling it a bonfire, maybe we should call it our SAFE SPACE. Have a great week everyone!
Conservative News Website Shuts Down, Blames Facebook
Salisbury Maryland Continues To Turn Into A Sh!thole: Dunkin Donuts Begging....
I wish I thought of it when I left DD this morning near the college. There is a man with his "please help sign". As I wait in line I watch someone give him the breakfast that they likely bought for themselves, he peeks in the bag (i assume looking for cash) then places it behind the bushes. When I was leaving I looked behind the bush, there were 4+ cups of coffee and who knows how many bags of food. I wish I took a picture to send in (didn't have my coffee, so not quick thinking). Maybe you have someone local to swing by to catch this punk. We work hard for our money, then try to be kind to those less fortunate. Then to see they don't even appreciate the food provided to them, because they are too busy making a living off of sitting on a curb.
Speaking of curb sitting, for the entire winter on the back corner of Walgreens, is this family with a young son maybe 8 to 10 years old. Every afternoon they are there when I ride by (it's my post office run from work). First of all, this kid should probably be in school. And does a kid that young have any business being outside on a curb in this weather. I know he uses that kid for "advertisement" so he can get more money for who knows what.

JAKE DAY, DO NOT VETO THE SALARY INCREASE!
I recommend you go back to the City Council and ask that they change the Charter from a Part Time position to a Full Time position. If you mean what you say referencing the veto, DONATE the additional funds to whatever charity you so choose within the City. It won't take effect until 2019 anyway and quite frankly you do not know that you will in fact win.
I think everyone will agree, the budget for the City certainly calls for a $50,000.00 a year salary for Mayor. For a Full Time position, that is. This will also encourage MANY others to consider stepping up to the plate to run for Mayor. Perhaps that's what you are so afraid of, I don't know.
Do NOT veto this salary proposal and if you are the man you claim to be, donate the additional $25,000.00 to someone like Hal Chernoff at the Main Street Gym, who works with underprivileged kids in Salisbury.
Salisbury Maryland City Council Agrees To Double Mayors Salary & More...
The Council also agreed to raise their own salaries from $10,000.00 to $12,000.00 a year. Like $2,000.00 a year makes all that alleged time they spend studying materials will now make it all worth while.
So, who's going to finally step up to the plate and run for Mayor and Council?
I should add, I told you they were going to propose $75,000.00 a year only to settle at $50,000.00 a year. It's the Liberal way of doing business and always has been.
