Stacey Abrams: RNC Going to Send Off-Duty Officers to Scare ‘Voters of Color’
Abrams said, “We know that we also face foreign influence that is being denied by the White House, by the would-be tinpot dictator of Donald Trump, but also that Moscow Mitch is stopping voter rights legislation and election security legislation. But we also know they just lifted a consent decree that’s kept Republicans and the RNC from going into local communities and intimidating voters by having off-duty officers tell people that they are monitoring their votes.”

It's high time more information about the fatal boating accident August 3 is released to the public.
How many people - what sex and what ages - were in the boat?
Age and sex of the people killed?
Whose boat was it?
What were they doing on the water?
Did they have life jackets? Was alcohol or drug use involved?
Has the operator been charged with any violation?
Does a Freedom of Information Act request have to be filed to get this basic information?! This is a public safety issue and public resources were expended. The public has a right to know.

Wicomico Council Votes 6-1 Against Rehiring Attorney
SALISBURY – Officials in Wicomico County last week voted against a recommendation to rehire Paul Wilber, who was terminated from his position as county attorney in May.
County Executive Bob Culver, however, has since announced the appointment of Wilber as acting county attorney effective immediately.
On Aug. 6, members of the Wicomico County Council had before them a recommendation to appoint Wilber as the county’s attorney nearly three months after the council voted to remove him from the same position.
In May, the council voted 6-1, with Councilman Bill McCain opposed, to fire Wilber effective July 31.

A $9.4 billion sea wall for Delaware?
As Delaware and other states come to grips with the effects of sea level rise, we can expect to see some dire predictions.
One example came out earlier this year in a study from the Center for Climate Integrity,which partnered with Resilient Analytics. The message – Delaware needs to “build the wall.”
The center, which leans well to the left and isn’t talking about that wall, blames big oil for global warning and wants the Exxons and Shells of the world to pay up.
The study claims seawalls will be needed to protect the nation’s lowest-lying state. The cost – a whopping $9.4 billion.

'I'll ruin your s--t': Chris Cuomo uses threatening language in argument with Trump supporter
Video emerged Monday that depicts CNN anchor Chris Cuomo in a heated argument with someone who claims to be a Trump supporter, who apparently called him "Fredo" while asking for a photo.
The YouTube video claims to be "Footage sent in by a [That's The Point with Brandon] fan," and goes on to explain that "a fan of news went to ask Chris Cuomo for a photo, mind you the man who asked him DID NOT know his real name and knows of him only through The RUSH LIMBUAGH SHOW [sic] and on that show Rush repeatedly calls him 'FREDO' so the man legitimately thought his name was FREDO. At this point CHRIS CUOMO LOSES IT AND THREATENS THE MAN WITH VIOLENCE!"
"Punk-ass b--ches on the right call me Fredo," Cuomo says, and goes on to explain why he finds that name offensive.

Nashville Orioles? Baltimore needs a local buyer to step up to the plate
BALTIMORE — These summer nights are bleak at Oriole Park, as witness Saturday night’s 23-to-2 loss to Houston. But the future’s a deeper concern. Reliable sources say we might be headed toward the end of the Angelos era.
These sources say principle owner Peter Angelos’ family has held extensive discussions about selling the team they’ve controlled for the past quarter-century. The same sources say Angelos’ sons, John and Lou, lean toward a sale.
There are complications. At 90, Peter Angelos’ health is fragile, and he’s no longer active in Orioles’ matters or his law office. His sons have assumed their father’s old responsibilities.
In Peter Angelos’ absence, though, principle ownership of the club would go to his wife, Georgia, who is reported these days to be consumed with caring for her husband.

Petition seeks to rename street in front of Trump Tower after Obama
NEW YORK — An online petition to rename Fifth Avenue in front of Trump Tower in New York in honor of former President Barack Obama has gathered more than 75,000 signatures.
The petition on MoveOn.org cites among Obama's accomplishments "saving our nation from the Great Recession; serving two completely scandal-free terms in office; and taking out Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind September 11th, which killed over 3,000 New Yorkers."
It asks for Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th streets to be renamed for Obama.
If the street name was changed, the address of Trump Tower would be 725 President Barack H. Obama Avenue.
Elizabeth Rowin, who started the petition, told Newsweek she meant it as a joke, but she says she heard from members of the New York City Council who say they want to pursue the idea.

Nancy Pelosi Escorted Out of White House After Showing Up ‘Too Drunk to Speak’
Sources inside the White House in a position to neither confirm nor deny most reports have confirmed the latest about Nancy Pelosi’s drunken excursion just minutes ago. Lawrence Darrel and his brother, Darryl, both senior aides to Lead Speech Writer Sandy Batt, say they saw Pelosi escorted out by Secret Service after showing up “so drunk she could hardly speak.” Darryl told our reporter in the field:

“Nancy came in and tried to say some things but just kept making that face. And there was like…this clicking noise. Then she fell down and it looked like maybe she peed a little.
Secret security was all over her right quick and them guys tossed her like a bad habit.”

Sheila Jackson Lee: ’Racism’ a ‘National Security Threat’—‘Huge Sums of Money’ Needed to Win Over ‘White Minds’
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) on Tuesday declared that “racism” is “a national security threat” and urged President Donald Trump’s administration to invest more federal funds to “get into the lives” and “minds” of young white males who are “drawn to white militia, white supremacy, white nationalism because they have nothing else to do.”
“I believe that racism… should be declared a national security threat,” Jackson Lee said during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing. “Racism is a national security threat. Before, we would say, ‘you have a right to your racist views. You have a right to believe that slavery was right. That segregation was right.’ We live in an era where that can no longer be allowed.”
Before insisting again that “racism is a national security threat,” Jackson Lee added that she is a “huge believer in civil liberties and the Bill of Rights, and particularly the first amendment of the Constitution.”

Hey Joe,
Long time reader. Just have a quick question and didn't know if you had any info on it. I know when Wor Wic put up their water tower it had gone up under strict regulations that under no circumstances could any other business or residence hook up to it. But now Royal FarmS and Arby's are hooked in there and now the Airport has a big project that is going to hook up to the tower and run water all the way to the Airport and to the business park behind the Airport.
Do you know how all these places got around the strict regulations that were put on the tower and Wor Wic?

Type of assault weapon used in Dayton, Ohio, shooting isn’t banned in Maryland. The attorney general wants to change that.
Maryland’s attorney general is urging lawmakers to update the state’s assault weapons ban to outlaw the type of gun used in the recent mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio.
“It’s a loophole in our law,” said Attorney General Brian Frosh, who as a Democratic state senator pushed for the passage of the Firearm Safety Act of 2013, which outlawed most assault weapons in Maryland.
“It’s outrageous,” Frosh said. “That kind of weapon should not be on the streets, period.”
The man who opened fire Aug. 4 in an entertainment district in Dayton, killing nine and injuring more than two dozen others, used an Anderson Manufacturing .223-caliber AM-15 gun, according to police in that city. It’s been described as an AR-15-style pistol.

Gee, I Wonder Where All These Trump Flags Came From...
It's a ploy from the left wing media to take away any credibility this man has earned. I don't care who you are, Trump will blow away all competitors in the 2020 election because none of us are going to sit back and not make it to the polls to place our vote for this incredible man.
On a local level it become overwhelmingly obvious for a second year in a row at the White Marlin Tournament how many anglers support our President. In the upcoming weeks you will see a ton of Bikers displaying similar flags on their motorcycles as the movement continues to grow, "Bikers for Trump".
I heard next year the Liberals are planning to picket the White Marlin Tournament because of these flags. I say bring it on. By the way, I will be delivering a video in the near future of THE OTHER SIDE. A production crew was HIRED where thousands of people were interviewed at the WMO asking them what THEY thought of all the Trump Flags. Put your seat belt on Palmer Gillis and local BS Media because the public is about to hear the other side, the TRUTH.
Here's a message I'd like to express to ALL LIBERALS. Instead of bitching us out for providing all these Trump Flags and telling me the only flag that should be flying is the American Flag, PROVE IT! We went out and purchased all the Trump Flags, we do NOT charge for them. YOU go out and purchase the American Flag and give them away as well. Put your damn money where your mouth is, we did.
Baltimore Teachers Call For Donated Fans, District Resists
Baltimore's teacher union is calling for fans to be donated to schools as sweltering heat pushes classroom temperatures into the hundreds, but the district says electrical infrastructure may not be equipped to handle it.
WBAL-TV 11's Tim Tooten reports the union hopes to hand out 500 fans in response to a lack of functional air-conditioning in city schools, some of which have none at all.
"All I can focus on is feeling that sweat just coming out and I look over at the kid and they're sweating, and all we want to do is take a break and get some water and open the window," said Brittany Johnson, a Baltimore City school counselor.

Cummings’ wife shares images of man suspected of breaking into Baltimore home
Maya Cummings, Rep. Elijah Cummings’ wife and chair of the Maryland Democratic Party, has provided a first glimpse into security footage of a man allegedly breaking into their Baltimore home last month.
Maya Cummings tweeted four screen captures from surveillance video on Saturday, in an effort to crowdsource information on the suspect.
The four images show a dark-clothed man in the doorway, wearing a hat with an indiscernible red emblem. The suspect then appears to make a getaway on a bicycle.

Israel blocks Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib from entering country over ‘promotion of BDS’
Israel has decided to bar Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from entering the country on Friday after fierce debates on the contentious matter involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and various ministers, Israel’s deputy foreign minister said Thursday.
“The decision has been made, the decision is not to allow them to enter,” Tzipi Hotovely told Israel’s Reshet Radio, Reuters reported.
The reason cited for their ban is reportedly “suspected provocations and promotion of BDS,” a reference to the anti-Israel boycott movement, according to the Times of Israel, which cited a report by local Channel 12.
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri made the decision to bar the US lawmakers from entering the country on Friday, according to the report.
