Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is disregarding the idea of a settling the GOP presidential nominee with a contested convention.
"I think the odds of a contested convention are very small. I've been saying that for a long time," Priebus said Friday during an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
"It’s a strategy people can use, but look, I would suggest that it's better to win races and accumulate delegates.”
When pressed, Priebus estimated that there's an "85 or 90 percent" chance that a candidate garners enough delegates to clinch the nomination before the convention.
The statements came a day after 2012 nominee Mitt Romney called on voters to stop front-runner Donald Trump from getting the GOP nomination, warning he would damage the party.

Marco Rubio: Poor Little Rich Boy Runs Into Real Estate Trouble
When it comes to sheer brazen corruption, chicanery and dishonesty there is one candidate who stands head and shoulders above everyone else and that is the right-wing Cuban-American and Tea Party darling Senator Marco Rubio of—naturally—the great State of Florida.
Mr. Rubio’s entire public image—the child of poor Cuban immigrants fleeing the repression of Castro’s Cuba who pulled himself up by his bootstraps and even now is a simple José Sixpack and family man—is less tethered to reality than The Wizard of Oz. For example, in his autobiography, An American Son: A Memoir, Mr. Rubio describes how he allegedly grew up poor and mowed the grass and walked dogs to make a bit of spare change. Technically this may be correct, but most poor kids don’t get paid by relatives heavily involved in narcotics trafficking and whose pets double as guard dogs for a drug cartel, as was the case with young Marco, a federal indictment shows. (See these articles for more on young Marco’s upbringing.)

Cruz: Brokered convention would lead to voter 'revolt'
Ted Cruz poured cold water on the calls to stop GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump during a brokered convention, warning that there could be hell to pay with the grass roots if they believe their will is being disregarded.
"Any time you hear someone talking about a brokered convention, it is the Washington establishment in a fevered frenzy, they are really frustrated because all their chosen candidates, their golden children, the voters keep rejecting," Cruz said Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
"So they seize on this plan of a brokered convention, and the D.C. power brokers will drop someone in who is exactly to the liking of the Washington establishment. If that would happen, we would have a manifest revolt on our hands all across this country."

Senator Marco Rubio DRUG SCANDAL Exposed!
According to a bombshell report, Rubio has a long history of corruption tied to his work as a lobbyist and Speaker of the Florida state legislature.
One of Rubio’s best friends and closest political supporters is Congressman David Rivera (R-FL), who is under investigation by the FBI.
Federal investigators have until next year to bring charges against Rivera about his ties to shady deals, including a $100,00 bribe from a gambling executive, and a secret transfer of $1 million from the corrupt dog track betting industry. These donations helped direct Rivera and Rubio’s votes in favor of well-connected families who wanted exclusive gambling rights.
But the most damaging part of the report details Rubio’s massive contributions from a criminal who is now in prison for helping launder drug money from South America:

Cruz on Bringing Back Manufacturing Jobs: 'Get Rid of All the Taxes'
When asked "what specifically would you do to bring manufacturing jobs back to America," Sen. Ted Cruz called for less regulation and getting rid of "all the taxes."
First he criticized the "left-wing policy" that he said has "utterly decimated" a city like Detroit.
"You know, Henry Ford revolutionized automobile manufacturing and brought automobiles to the middle class. During World War II, Detroit provided -- funded the arsenals of democracy to help us win World War II.
"In the 1960s, Detroit was the Silicon Valley of America. It had a population of 2 million people, had the highest per capita income in the country. And then, for 50 years, left-wing Democrats have pursued destructive tax policies, weak crime policies, and have driven the citizens out.
"This city now has just 700,000 citizens. There are vacant homes, one after the other after the other. Crime has been rampant, and it is an outrage. And let me say to folks in the media: That is a story that the media ought to be telling over and over again, the destruction of left-wing policies and the millions who have hurt because of it."
Debate moderator Chris Wallace cut in: "I'll give you 30 seconds to try to answer my question. What specifically would you do to bring manufacturing jobs back to Detroit and to train the residents here to do those jobs?"

Federal Appeals Court To Reconsider Maryland Gun Control Law
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A federal appeals court will reconsider a Maryland ban on semiautomatic high-capacity assault weapons.
The Washington Post reports (http://wapo.st/1Sp4U5Z) the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit announced Friday that it’ll rehear a case involving the state’s 2013 ban, which prohibits the possession or sale of over 45 types of assault weapons. The law remains in effect.
A divided panel of the court cast doubt last month on the legality of Maryland’s ban, which was passed after the mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
The decision would have sent the gun control law back to a lower court for review, but instead a majority of eligible judges voted to revisit it this spring.

Massive Sweden-Bound Haul Of Grenades And Automatic Weapons Seized
A Turkish citizen, a Swede and a man from Serbia have been arrested after a massive shipment of grenades and automatic weapons destined for Sweden was uncovered.
Grenade attacks linked to migrant gang warfare have become a familiar occurrence in parts of Nordic nation. There were 30 grenade explosion in Malmö in the first half of 2015, and 25 explosions in the city in 2014.
A car containing 59 hand grenades and five machine guns, along with ammunition and magazines, was intercepted at a customs check Slovenia this week. The weapons were concealed in various locations around the vehicle.
The principal suspect is a 32-year-old Serbian man, who was arrested along with a 25-year Swede and a 17-year-old who is a citizen of both Turkey and Finland.
The men have been charged with aggravated larceny and handling automatic weapons. The 25-year-old also stands charged with serious drug offences.
According to the prosecutor at the International Public Prosecution Office in Stockholm, the weapons offence are particularly serious and should be seen “as part of an operation that has taken place systematically, with the intention… and extensively.”

The Government is Funding Our Enemies- How You Can Stop it
The Obama administration cleared the sale of eight F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan last month. But Paul is invoking the obscure Arms Export Control Act of 1976 in a bid to shoot down the sale with a resolution of disapproval.
"Over the last few years we have seen that Pakistan is an uncertain ally when it comes to cooperating with the United States,” Paul said in a statement. “As I travel in Kentucky, I meet countless individuals who are struggling to survive in this economy, we have no business sending hundreds of millions of dollars overseas."
The last time the Senate voted on such a resolution, according to Paul’s aides, was in 1986, when then-Sen. Alan Cranston (D-Calif.) forced a roll call on banning sales of certain missiles and defense services to Saudi Arabia.
Is America Giving Immigrants Paid Tropical Vacations?
The Obama administration has tried hard to deter the crush of migrants arriving from Central America in recent years. It has pressed Mexico to crack down on migrants passing through its territory, while women and children who managed to cross the American border have been held in detention facilities.

Conservative Crackup?
The Founder of the Blaze is an enthusiastic supporter of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, and he's opposed the nomination of New York billionaire Donald Trump from the beginning. But as the likelihood of a Trump candidacy has become more real, Beck has ratcheted up his rhetoric.
This week, he went too far:
During a monologue Friday about Donald Trump’s Thursday night debate performance, radio host Glenn Beck said that if he “had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”
Beck’s co-host, Stu Burguiere, told The Daily Caller Friday — after this article’s publication — that, despite the appearance of a threat against Trump, Beck was instead playfully threatening to murder his own co-host.
Beck began the segment by stating his amazement at how conservatives across the country aren’t up in arms over Trump’s debate behavior.
“I don’t know what I would have done if I was sitting in” Cruz or Rubio’s shoes, Beck stated. “I can’t say it that way. If I were on the stage, I would have said, ‘have you been listening to him tonight? Have you been listening to what I say about him? I believe these things.'”
At that point, Burguiere began to rib Beck for the “sitting in shoes” analogy.
Beck went on: “If I was close enough and had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”
We know that Beck has a flare for the dramatic, but this is a bridge too far.

Trump on Immigration: 'There Always Has to Be Some Tug and Pull and Deal'
(CNSNews.com) - Donald Trump has portrayed himself as an immigration hardliner, but now he's showing flexibility on the issue. "I will say...in terms of immigration -- and almost anything else -- there always has to be some, you know, tug and pull and deal," Trump said on the Fox News debate stage Thursday night.
Trump also said "there is nothing wrong" with Sen. Marco Rubio's call to bring illegal immigration under control first, then see what the American people are willing to do about the 11 million aliens currently in the country.
Trump started his campaign by insisting he would deport the millions of illegal aliens in this country, allowing only the "good ones" to come back in. He also said he would build a big, beautiful wall on the southern border.
In response to debate moderator Megyn Kelly, Trump said he had a "very nice meeting" with the New York Times editorial board in January, some of which was off the record. "And I think being off the record is a very important thing. I think it's a very, very powerful thing," he said.
But some of what Trump said during off-the-record moments has leaked.
So Kelly asked Trump if he really is backing off his firm stance on immigration..

UMES, Wellness Farms team up over medical marijuana
PRINCESS ANNE, Md. — The University of Maryland-Eastern Shore is teaming up with a company that wants a license to grow medical marijuana.
Some said the unique collaboration will help the school and the community, but others aren't so sure.
The only traffic light in downtown Princess Anne in Somerset County directs few vehicles. Unemployment is high and new business prospects are uncertain.
Asked how desperate the area is for jobs, Princess Anne resident Kimberly Schoolfield said, "I think pretty desperate. They need more. There are a lot of fast-food restaurants. That's all that's really around here."
"There's enough vacant buildings to hold a three-ring circus in. The two busiest places in town are the dispensary and the funeral home," said Van Muir, of Princess Anne.
The Somerset County director of economic development approached the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore with a unique proposition: The research arm of the school should partner with Wellness Farms, a medical marijuana grower who applied for a state license.

Arizona Atty. Gen. Finds Money Trail Between Middle East, Mexican Smugglers
Months after six Middle Eastern men who entered the U.S. illegally through Mexico were arrested in Arizona state authorities have uncovered an extensive money trail between the Middle East and Mexico. This includes more than a dozen wire transfers sent from the Middle East to known Mexican smugglers in at least two different regions of the Latin American nation, according to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.
A report issued by the AG exposes the disturbing money trail between Mexico and terrorist nations in the Middle East as well as evidence of smuggling routes tying the region to America’s southern border. An excerpt of the AG’s findings was obtained by a local media outlet that published it this week. It states that the Mexican city of Tapachula, a known human smuggling hub located near the Guatemalan border in the state of Chiapas, was the top destination of Middle Eastern money transfers. Nogales, which is situated adjacent to the Arizona border, is the second destination, the investigation found. “Agents conducted a comprehensive geographic analysis of possible terrorist related transactions and/or money transfers involving human smuggling networks,” the state report says.

Release of Clinton Documents Delayed After State Department Discovers ‘Thousands’ of Unsearched Records
The State Department’s recent discovery of thousands of unsearched records from Hillary Clinton’s tenure has delayed several public records lawsuits and could keep many of the documents out of the public sphere until next fall.
The watchdog groups Citizens United and Judicial Watch, which are suing the State Department for Clinton-related records, are two plaintiffs that have been affected by the discovery. The State Department said the new documents could take months to process, a time period that extends well beyond its court-ordered deadlines.
Citizens United said the State Department has yet to explain how the electronic files were overlooked for the past two years, raising questions about whether this was a stonewalling effort. The group is seeking records related to Clinton donors Gilbert Chagoury and Rajiv Fernando.
“With this 11th hour revelation, the State Department has missed its court-ordered deadline to finish the production of documents in this case,” said David N. Bossie, president of Citizens United. “These newly discovered records could impact document production in other Citizens United FOIA lawsuits as well as cases involving other plaintiffs.”

Bill Would Change Furniture-Buying Rules For Governors
ANNAPOLIS (AP) -- Maryland lawmakers are scheduled to vote on a bill that would prevent departing governors from buying furniture from the executive mansion at a discount.
The bipartisan measure is scheduled for a vote Friday in the House of Delegates.
The bill was filed after former Gov. Martin O'Malley and his wife paid nearly $10,000 before he left office last year for 54 pieces of furniture that initially cost taxpayers about $62,000 eight years earlier. The Maryland Department of General Services sold the furniture after the pieces were declared "junk."

Clinton Campaign Writes Checks to Planned Parenthood
Hillary Clinton paid Planned Parenthood thousands of dollars using campaign funds.
The Democratic frontrunner’s federal financial disclosures reveal that America’s top abortionist received four separate payments from the Clinton campaign. The payments were filed as reimbursements for “staff time” for volunteering and get out the vote efforts, as Clinton attempted to beat back the insurgent campaign of socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) in Iowa.
Clinton and Planned Parenthood did not return requests for comment about the specific nature of the payments.
Planned Parenthood performs more than 300,000 abortions annually and generates 40 percent of its annual revenues through the government. The billion-dollar organization receives about $500 million from taxpayers each year through Medicaid funds and other grants. It received a large funding bonus from foreign policy agencies overseen by Clinton during her tenure as secretary of state, collecting more than $100 million for overseas services to the USAID.
Planned Parenthood has been especially active during this campaign season. In January it made the unprecedented decision to endorse Clinton in the Democratic primary. The campaign began paying the group’s political arm shortly after the donation.It paid nearly $1,000 to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund on Jan. 10 followed by payments of more than $500 on January 16, $1,000 on Jan. 22 and nearly $2,300 on Jan. 23. All told the campaign paid Planned Parenthood more than $4,800 in January.
Even before the official endorsement, Clinton received financial support from the organization, collecting more than $20,000 from executives and employees of the national organization and its regional affiliates—20 times more money than the rest of the presidential field combined.

Don’t stop worrying about oil
This article appears in the February 29, 2016 issue of National Review.
Two years ago, in January 2014, oil traded around $100 per barrel. Today, oil trades around $30 per barrel, a level unvisited in over a decade, and consumers have been tanking up with $1.50-per-gallon gasoline.
The collapse in oil prices has come after a surge in U.S. production. This has led many to theorize that the U.S. has finally dislodged the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) from its position of dominance. Historically, the OPEC cartel has managed production to keep prices high, even when, as is happening today, a weaker global economy exerts downward pressure on them. Its apparent failure to do so at this moment has led some to forecast low energy prices as far as the eye can see. Accord ing to this line of reasoning, U.S. production will undercut any attempt by OPEC to raise prices, as American oil will flood the market and drive the price down when OPEC attempts to raise it.
As the nearby chart illustrates, such optimism is poorly grounded. To contextualize this most recent development in the oil market, we gathered data on oil production between 1965 and 2014 from the BP Statistical Review of World Energy. The data measure oil production in barrels produced per year. For each of the years, the chart shows the share of world oil produced by OPEC, the U.S., and the countries that were members of OPEC during the 1973 OPEC oil embargo (Algeria, Ecuador, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela).

Subject: Larry Hogan's Sister Passed Away
We send our deepest condolences to his family. It is impossible to comprehend the exceptional nature of this man’s personal triumph over these heavy and unrelenting challenges.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) announced Saturday that his sister had died, the latest in a year of personal trials for the first-term governor diagnosed with cancer last June.
“My heart is broken,” Hogan said. “My only sister passed away this morning. Mary Theresa Lazarus was the best big sister anyone could ever ask for.”
Lazarus, 66, died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease — a rare, degenerative, brain disorder that affects about 1 in 1 million people per year worldwide — according to Hogan spokesman Matt Clark.
Hogan said Lazarus was a married mother of three and grandmother of eight.
“I was always so proud of her,” the governor said. “She was a wonderful wife to her husband Bob, and an incredible mother of my niece Becky, my nephews Keith and Kevin and the greatest grandmother of her eight grandchildren.”
Please keep the family in your prayers. You may send condolences to Governor Larry Hogan, 100 State Circle, Annapolis, MD 21401.

2. Bob Culver fired a black staffer is total BS. Bob Culver hadn't even been sworn in. It was Rick Pollitt who terminated that employee, but why should facts get in the way of a failing Daily Times newspaper.
3. Good Lord! Were there any blacks on Jim Ireton's, Jake Day, Barrie Tilghman, etc? I can assure you that IF someone showed Bob interest in participating with his transition team he would have been honored, (if qualified) to enjoy them on his team. As for defunding the school in a black district, is this guys head stuck up his rear end! Bob never said he wouldn't fund that school. Bob simply stated he wanted to redevelop what was already there, saving the taxpayers millions of dollars.
4. Twice as many blacks are unemployed... If you want to FIX that, instead of blaming WHITES for it, get rid of EBT, Affordable Housing and Welfare for ALL. Start by drug testing anyone receiving these benefits and then cap the assistance to ONE YEAR. Then maybe, just maybe, people will get off the free ride program and get a job.
5. This year we've seen WHITE LIBERALS being the actual RACISTS against whites, constantly labeling them as racist. Shall we make a new flag for that Gains?
6. How's that statement working for you THIS YEAR Gains? Not that I even agreed with your "last year" statement.
7. Just what is the AUTHORS remedies? You seem to want to point fingers and place blame, yet like all typical radical liberals, you offer no answers. The author acts like blacks are completely innocent and fails to mention things like the "knock out game". All Lives Matter, period.
This Post was sparked today because the Daily Times, (once again) reprinted on line the ENTIRE article calling out Bob Culver for firing Tamara Brooks. Again, Culver hadn't even been sworn in. Pollitt's administration terminated Tamara. Oh, here's a thought. Why not call Tamara and ask her who let her go. Wouldn't that mean that they actually confirmed their story? They didn't do so because they lied and fabricated it, (again today) to make Bob out to be a RACIST. They couldn't even get it right the second time, (two years later) around.
Finally, white race baiting against other whites is a dangerous game. These Liberals think they are more credible when they spew such LIES/HATE against their own race, because their personalities and lifestyles aren't accepted by other normal human beings. They remind me of an old Rodney Dangerfield joke where he said, "The first time I made love it was great, I was by myself."
Shame on Gaines Hawkins and the Daily Times.

A Viewer Writes: Delmarva Power Bills
They no longer put "meter readings, start and finish" on your bill.
There is no way for the consumer to actually verify usage.
They simply put how many kWh they claim you used.
How is this legal and how did the PUC allow for this farce to take place?

Maryland may see dispensaries, medical marijuana after vote
WASHINGTON — Plans are on track in Maryland to open nearly 100 medical marijuana dispensaries next year.
The latest move in Annapolis is that the House of Delegates has voted to broaden the type of health care providers who would be allowed to prescribe the drug.
Under the state law legalizing medical marijuana, only physicians can prescribe medical marijuana. But the House has voted to extend that authority to dentists, podiatrists and nurses.
Delegate Erek Barron, D-Prince George’s County, says the idea makes sense.
“These additional practice groups are trusted and in a position to make that call for their patients,” Barron says.

Sharpton: ‘This Will Be the Last Night of an All-White Oscars’
LOS ANGELES — The Rev. Al Sharpton led a rally Sunday afternoon around the corner from Hollywood’s Dolby Theater to protest the lack of diversity among this year’s Academy Award nominees.
Joined by members of his National Action Network (NAN) advocacy group bearing signs reading “Shame on you” and “Boycott #OscarsSoWhite,” Sharpton spoke briefly to several dozen demonstrators, telling the entertainment industry it is “out of time” to address its “systemic” diversity problem.

Chris Rock Calls Oscars 'the White People's Choice Awards' in Monologue
All eyes were on Chris Rock as the comedian opened the 88th Academy Awards -- one of the most politically-charged ceremonies (if not the most) of all time -- and he didn't disappoint.
"Well, I'm here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White People's Choice Awards," he said.
Rock then slammed Jada Pinkett Smith's decision to boycott the Oscars.
"Jada boycotting the #Oscars is like me boycotting Rihanna's panties. I wasn't invited," he said, leaving the room in stitches.
Rock also revealed that he was pressured to quit the show by those around him and "thought about quitting" before ultimately deciding that he would be able to wield greater influence as host.

Black Toothpaste: Whitening Without Bleach Or Abrasive Agents
Curaprox USA (www.curaprox.com), a branch of the Swiss company Curaprox, is offering a natural way for Americans to remove dental stains and maintain oral health with activated charcoal. The toothpaste is called Black Is White.
“Some people just can’t get their head around it, but most people really like it the more they understand it and see the results,” says Patrice N. Le Maire, an international brand expert and head of Curaprox USA.
“This novel and natural way of whitening your teeth back to the original color – the shade of a baby’s teeth – continues Curaprox’s 4½-decade run of lifestyle products for oral health.”
What seems new to 21st century Americans is actually old and proven. Activated charcoal particles absorb dirt and discoloration particles like a vacuum cleaner. It’s something that societies knew centuries ago.
Most of today’s whitening toothpastes contain abrasive particles such as chalk, silicates, pumice or bentonite; or they bleach using chemical agents such as peroxide. But bleaching agents change both gums and tooth enamel, and also adversely affect the mucous membrane lining the inside of the mouth. The danger with abrasive particles is that, in addition to removing discoloration, they also erode the enamel.
“Black Is White removes stains using activated carbon – without abrasive agents and without bleach,” Le Maire says. “The typical Black Is White user is younger. They’re usually younger women, millennials, and older women who are sensitive to unnatural ingredients. Men with an active lifestyle like it, too. You can keep all of your fun habits, such as drinking red wine and espresso with dessert, without worrying about stained or eroding teeth.”
