“We don’t ban people for expressing their thoughts. Targeted abuse & inciting abuse against people however, that’s not allowed,” replied Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, despite the fact that no evidence has been provided showing Yiannopoulos did any such thing.

Top Clinton Lobbyist Bundlers Tied to Foreign Banks, Governments

A number of Hillary Clinton’s top lobbyist bundlers, who have raised millions for her presidential campaign, either directly represent foreign entities or work at firms that represent foreign entities, according to documents from the Justice Department’s Foreign Agents Registration Unit.

Hillary for America, Clinton’s campaign committee, has hauled in more than $7 million in bundled lobbyist contributions since its inception. The committee finished 2015 with $4.1 million in bundled lobbyist contributions. It has since added more than $2.9 million to its coffers from lobbyists, with $1.2 million of that amount pouring in during the second quarter of 2016, from April 1 to June 30.

Tony Podesta, owner of the Podesta Group and brother of John Podesta, the chairman of Clinton’s campaign, is a top bundler for Hillary for America. Podesta has bundled $267,835 in contributions to date. Podesta was hired to work on behalf of Saudi interests.

Saudi Arabia has built an extensive lobbying and public relations presence in the United States, the Washington Post reported in April. It has also supplied the Clinton Foundation with millions. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has given between $10 and $25 million to the foundation while Friends of Saudi Arabia has contributed between $1 and $5 million.

A Saudi government entity, called the Center for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court, hired the Podesta Group to push its interests. Podesta personally lobbies on the group’s behalf, and his firm collects $140,000 a month for its services.

DNC PANICS AS THEY GET EXPOSED BY WIKILEAKS FOR LIES AND CORRUPTION

“Today, Friday 22 July 2016 at 10:30am EDT, WikiLeaks releases 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from the top of the US Democratic National Committee — part one of our new Hillary Leaks series” said WikiLeaks in an announcement on their website. On WikiLeak’s website anyone who visits the site can look through upwards of 20,000 emails by using a search bar that allows users to put certain keywords in to see if they pop up in the emails.

One of the emails that struck a chord with me was the one where they were trying to subject Bernie Sanders and ridicule him publicly for his religious beliefs. America is built upon religious freedom, not scrutiny.

Philadelphia Isn't Removing Felons From Voting Rolls

The city of Philadelphia is not removing incarcerated felons from its voter rolls despite being hit with a lawsuit, according to a watchdog group.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an Indiana-based election integrity group, suedthe city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in April over its questionable voter rolls. After meeting with city officials, the watchdog group announced that the city had not removed felons from those who are eligible to vote.

“After meeting with City officials, it has come to light that the City doesn’t remove or even flag incarcerated felons who are ineligible to vote in Pennsylvania,” the group said. “The number of incarcerated felons on the rolls and ineligible to vote likely numbers in the thousands. The Foundation is requesting urgent action from the Court to rectify the situation.”

The legal watchdog group filed a lawsuit against Philadelphia earlier this year for concealing election records. The city refused to provide information on possible non-citizen voters who were discovered by the group, prompting the legal challenge.

J. Christian Adams, the president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, said the city is not ensuring election integrity.

Anheuser-Busch Distributor Incentive Program Raises More Concerns Of A Stifled Craft Beer Market

With its $107 billion merger with SABMiller making waves and federal regulators investigating its purchase of several small distributors, one might think that Anheuser-Busch InBev would lay low when it comes to rocking the distribution boat. But that’s apparently not the case, as the company recently unveiled an incentive program that would provide distributors with a sliding scale of bonuses if most of the beer they sell comes from the brewer.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the incentive program, aimed at reversing a decline in sales, could provide as much as $1.5 million in reimbursements to independent distributors if 98% of the beers they sell come from AB InBev.

If a company’s sales volumes are made of 95% AB InBev brands – like Budweiser, Bud Light andrecently acquired craft beers from Golden Road and Goose Island – they would be eligible to have as much as half of their marketing support for the products — promotions and display costs — covered by the beer giant, according to distributors who spoke with the WSJ.

AB InBev has reportedly already told its network of 500 distributors, and others, that they would qualify for the incentive program as long as craft brewers they carry produce less than 15,000 barrels or sell beer only in one state.

When AB InBev announced the three-year plan at a meeting last month, the company estimated that participating distributors would receive an average of $200,000 in benefits annually.

More

Here's the backstory of the "questionable" incentive programs that were referred to in yesterday's beer giant merger story. I didn't know that "incentives" like this were even legal, and don't think that they should be.

"For its part, AB InBev must stop its questionable practice of providing anticompetitive incentives — like covering marketing costs for distributors who kept a strict limit on non-AB InBev products."

WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE THIS LOST DOG WAS POSTED ON JOE'S SITE

Many of you will remember when Joe posted the the letter for Alysia about her Lost Dog "Calie." Alysia was in a bad accident
here in Salisbury on Rt #50 , back in May. Her dogs ' collar snapped
off during her escape through the car window, after the accident . 

Joe posted Alysias' heart felt request to the public to help find "Her Dog , Cali" and many came forth to help search . Animal Control found "Cali" , after 4 days, not far from the accident site. She was somewhat dehydrated & hungry---but ----Alive & Well.

People in VA have kept "Cali" for a couple of months . Alysia was unable to come and get her since she'd suffered a cracked pelvic and required a rather long recooperation period with Physical Therapy.

During this time I occasionally kept in touch with Alysia and recentlymailed to see how she was progressing & when she was going to be able toget her dog . I got a mail back last week , saying , she was so happyshe could finally travel & was now able to care for her dog. 

As of this writing ------ " Calie's " back home in Baltimore with Alysia !

News Release: Excessive Heat in the Area,

EXCESSIVE HEAT IN THE AREA

(Salisbury, MD) A heat wave is expected to grip our region over the next few days. Temperatures will be in the upper 90 degrees with the heat index reaching over 100 degrees for a few hours each day. Residents are encouraged to check on people in vulnerable populations such as infants, young children, young athletes, obese persons, those older than 65 years of age, and persons with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a mental illness, who are at increased risk for a heat related illness. A heat-related illness can very quickly become life-threatening.

The Wicomico County Health Department urges everyone to practice these stay cool safety tips:

• Seek air-conditioned environments such as malls, libraries, and other public places. Stay indoors.
• Schedule outdoor activities before 10:00 am and after 6:00 pm.
• Take cool baths or showers.
• Minimize direct exposure to the sun; if you must be outdoors, seek shade.
• Stay hydrated – regularly drink water or other nonalcoholic fluids.
• Eat light, cool, easy-to-digest foods such as fruit or salads.
• Limit using the stove or oven to keep the house cooler.
• Wear loose fitting, light-colored clothes.
• Bring pets indoors. If they must remain outside, make sure they have shade and plenty of clean, fresh water.

"At this time, we are working with Emergency Management to monitor the situation and assess whether or not cooling centers will need to be opened,” says Lori Brewster, Health Officer.

Trump Reveals the Truth About Cruz's Convention Speech

At a Friday morning speech to RNC volunteers, Donald Trump revealed the truth to about Ted Cruz's controversial speech. Addressing the elephant in the room, Trump noted that Cruz "got booed the hell out of the place. Then, as Townhall's Cortney O'Brien notes, he got into the specifics of things:

Trump’s Friday remarks were supposed to focus on the thank yous - and he did for the most part, spending a few particular moments thanking the secret service and the Cleveland police, but he felt compelled to respond to Cruz’s antics.

“He may have ruined his political career,” Trump said. “He’ll come and endorse because he has no choice.”

Yet, if he gives his endorsement, Trump said “he will not accept it.”

The GOP nominee then explained what happened Wednesday night.

“I saw his speech,” Trump said. His team told him it’s a "boring speech" and the Texas senator even congratulates him for his nomination.

Then, when Cruz stepped up to the podium, he added a sentence, “which could have been viewed as a nasty thing and implying something,” Trump said.

“That’s dishonorable,” he added. “To me not signing a pledge is dishonorable.”

“I don’t want his endorsement,” Trump repeated. “Ted, just stay home, relax.”

The mainstream media, which has been wrong about every single element of this election to date, is billing Cruz's speech as a victory. It might have provided small comfort to those in the American political class, but to conservative voters whose primary concern is beating Hillary, the speech was a total disaster that confirmed for grassroots voters what many in the establishment have been saying for years- that Cruz's primary interest is in promoting himself.

Lobbyists Raised $7 Million for Clinton, Nothing for Trump

Lobbyists have raised $7 million for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign up to this point, while they have bundled exactly $0 for her opponent Donald Trump’s campaign, indicating the different strategies both candidates have pursued to win the White House.

These figures came from Federal Election Commission reports filed on Friday, according to the Washington Post.

Presidential candidates have counted on lobbyists to raise money for their campaigns over many years, but Trump, now the Republican nominee, has avoided such fundraising methods as he runs as an outsider not confined by traditional political methods practiced in Washington.

Trump’s reluctance to woo lobbyists for campaign contributions has helped win him support among Republican voters but has put him in a financial hole compared to Clinton.

Maryland to Receive $1.4M to Help Fight Zika Virus

BALTIMORE (WJZ)–As the showdown continues between the White House and Congress over money to help fight the Zika virus, the CDC is doing what it can to prevent an outbreak in the U.S.

Nearly $60-million in funding, distributed through CDC’s Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases Cooperative Agreement (ELC) will be awarded to states and cities to support efforts to protect Americans from the virus. Maryland will be given $1.4-million to tackle the virus.

This comes weeks after President Obama requested $1.9 billion for the same reason, but Congress–both Democrats and Republicans–failed to approve a budget.

“Republicans in Congress can help pass that bill that treats Zika, like the serious threat that it is, fully fund our response,” said President Obama. “That’s an example of protecting America and helping other countries too. We can get that done.”

Mother Of Benghazi Victim: 'I Blame Hillary Clinton Personally For The Death Of My Son'

CLEVELAND — Pat Smith, mother of Sean Smith who was killed in the Benghazi terrorist attack, said on Monday, “I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son.”

Speaking at the Republican National Convention, while discussing the Benghazi terrorist attack Smith said, “I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son. Yes, personally. In an e-mail to her daughter shortly after the attack, Hillary Clinton blamed it on s terrorism, but when I saw Hillary Clinton… she lied to me and then called me a liar.”

“When I saw Hillary Clinton at Sean’s coffin ceremony, just days later, she looked me in the eye and told me a video was responsible,” Smith said.

“Since then I have repeatedly asked Hillary Clinton to ask explain to me the real reason why my son is dead. I’m still waiting,” Smith said. “Whenever I called the State Department, no one would speak to me because they say I am not a member of the immediate family.”

Hillary Clinton's lying is the behavior of a sociopath

When Great Britain’s Boris Johnson was forced out of the running to replace David Cameron as prime minister by an act of the utmost treachery, the civilized minority on both sides of the Atlantic knew that we had only one candidate left to deliver us amusement and a dramatic shift to good government, Donald Trump. He is entertaining, good natured, and possessed of sound ideas to break the logjam in Washington. The Brits are just going to have to be patient.

After all, Boris is not completely out of government. Mr. Cameron’s successor, Theresa May, has just made him foreign minister, a position from which he can continue to shake up Europe, the English-speaking world, and even his country’s staid Foreign Office. He is energetic and has a delightful way with words, for instance, when he chided President Obama for “the part-Kenyan president’s ancestral dislike of the British Empire.” Mr. Obama had ordered that a bust of Winston Churchill be removed from the White House, even though the British statesman was part-American. That was rich. Or when he disesteemed Hillary Clinton for having “dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital.”

Another good line Boris, but was his assessment fair? I think not. To begin with, she does not have “a steely blue stare.” The blue of her eyes is, as with practically everything else about her, a studied fake. She wears blue contact lenses. Her blue eyes look a muddy brown without her cosmetic lenses. As for her “dyed blonde hair,” for all I know she is bald. When Boris speaks of her putting him in mind of a “sadistic nurse in a mental institution,” he is only half right.

More than 100 arrested in Los Angeles-area ICE operation targeting convicted criminal aliens

LOS ANGELES – A Mexican national formerly convicted of attempted murder of a peace officer and a Salvadoran gang member with a lengthy rap sheet are among the 112 foreign nationals arrested in the greater Los Angeles area over the last four days during an operation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeting at-large criminal aliens. 

All of the 100 men and 12 women taken into custody by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers during this week’s operation, which concluded late Wednesday, had criminal histories. The majority (62) had prior felony convictions for serious or violent offenses, such as child sex crimes, weapons charges, and assault. The remaining arrestees had past convictions for significant or multiple misdemeanors. One of those taken into custody is a previously deported criminal alien who will now be presented for federal prosecution for re-entry after removal, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

The remaining arrestees will be processed administratively for removal from the United States. Those who have outstanding orders of deportation, or who returned to the United States illegally after being deported, are subject to immediate removal from the country. The remaining individuals are in ICE custody awaiting a hearing before an immigration judge, or pending travel arrangements for removal in the near future. 

“This operation exemplifies ICE’s ongoing commitment to targeting convicted criminals and public safety threats for arrest and removal,” said David Marin, deputy field office director for ERO Los Angeles. “By taking these individuals off our streets and ultimately removing them from the country, we’re making our communities safer for everyone.”

Yale Rehires Employee Who Smashed Window For Being Racist

Yale University is rehiring an employee who illegally smashed a historic stained glass window because he thought it was racist, saying the employee deserves a second chance.

Corey Menafee worked as a dishwasher for Yale until late June, when he became so incensed over a stained glass window showing two black slaves picking cotton that he impulsively grabbed a broomstick and smashed the window. The stained glass window was decades old and was part of a series related to the life of John C. Calhoun, a slaveowner and U.S. senator for whom Yale’s Calhoun College is named for.

When asked about the matter, Menafee defended his action by saying “It’s 2016, I shouldn’t have to come to work and see things like that.”

Cops And Courts – July 22, 2016

First-Degree Assault For Stabbing Attempt
OCEAN CITY — A Leesburg, Va. man was arrested on first-degree assault and other charges last weekend after allegedly chasing another man with a knife during an intoxicated, racially-charged, expletive-laced tirade on a downtown resort street.

Around 12:30 a.m. last Friday, an Ocean City police officer on uniformed patrol responded to the area of Lark Lane for a citizen’s report of two men yelling profanities and appearing as if they were going to fight in the middle of the street. As the officer approached, even from a distance of at least 100 feet away, he observed the suspect, later identified as Jermell Norris, 33, screaming racial slur-laced profanities in the street as a crowd began to form.

The officer observed Norris chasing after a male victim with a metal folding knife. The officer approached in his vehicle and observed Norris continuing to chase the victim with the knife. According to police reports, the victim was covering his side and complained of pain in his rib cage. The officer ordered Norris to sit down, but when Norris failed to comply and continued his tirade, the officer utilized his Taser to gain compliance.

Court Slams McAuliffe for Lack of Transparency

McAuliffe still refuses to provide list of felons included in executive order

Judges on Virginia’s highest court criticized the lack of transparency surrounding Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s executive action to restore voting rights to 206,000 felons.

The State Supreme Court held a hearing on Tuesday after Republican lawmakers sued to block the executive order, which they say is an unconstitutional overreach of power by the governor’s office. Previous governors have issued restoration of voting rights on an individual basis.

Justice William Mims took issue with the McAuliffe administration’s refusal to release a list of all the felons included in the order, which has been requested by the press, state prosecutors, and the state legislature.

Miller Trial Set For Next Week

In spite of calls from various groups for prosecutors to drop the charges, the next trial of a Baltimore Police charged in the death of Freddie Gray will move forward next week.

An advisory from the court indicates pre-trial motions for Officer Garrett Miller will be heard on Wednesday, with jury selection scheduled for Thursday.

However, Miller is expected to follow the lead of the last three officers to stand trial and request a bench trial.

If that happens, Miller's trial likely wouldn't begin until next Friday at the earliest.

Miller, 27, is charged with second degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office. These are all misdemeanors.

Miller will be the fifth officer to go on trial for Gray's death. The last three officers to stand trial, Edward Nero, Caesar Goodson and Brian Rice, were all acquitted in bench trials.

JUST IN: Va. Supreme Court: McAuliffe’s voting rights restoration is unconstitutional

RICHMOND, Va. (WAVY) — The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that Governor Terry McAuliffe’s executive order to restore voting rights to felons is unconstitutional.

In April, McAuliffe issued an executive order restoring voting rights to more than 200,000 felons.

The Virginia Supreme Court found the governor violated precedence by issuing the sweeping order and not restoring felon’s rights in a case by case basis.

The court also ruled to take away voting rights of those felons who have had it restored, which will affects thousands of people across the Commonwealth.

"My Own People Hate Me!" - Black Brooklyn Cop Slams "False Narrative Of Black Lives Matter"

I have come to realize something that is still hard for me to understand to this day. The following may be a shock to some coming from an African American, but the mere fact that it may be shocking to some is prima facie evidence of the sad state of affairs that we are in as Humans.

I used to be so torn inside growing up. Here I am, a young African-American born and raised in Brooklyn, NY wanting to be a cop. I watched and lived through the crime that took place in the hood. My own black people killing others over nothing. Crack heads and heroin addicts lined the lobby of my building as I shuffled around them to make my way to our 1 bedroom apartment with 6 of us living inside. I used to be woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of gun fire, only to look outside and see that it was 2 African Americans shooting at each other.

It never sat right with me. I wanted to help my community and stop watching the blood of African Americans spilled on the street at the hands of a fellow black man. I became a cop because black lives in my community, along with ALL lives, mattered to me, and wanted to help stop the bloodshed.

As time went by in my law enforcement career, I quickly began to realize something. I remember the countless times I stood 2 inches from a young black man, around my age, laying on his back, gasping for air as blood filled his lungs. I remember them bleeding profusely with the unforgettable smell of deoxygenated dark red blood in the air, as it leaked from the bullet holes in his body on to the hot sidewalk on a summer day. I remember the countless family members who attacked me, spit on me, cursed me out, as I put up crime scene tape to cordon off the crime scene, yelling and screaming out of pain and anger at the sight of their loved ones taking their last breath. I never took it personally, I knew they were hurting. I remember the countless times I had to order new uniforms, because the ones I had on, were bloody from the blood of another black victim…of black on black crime. I remember the countless times I got back in my patrol car, distraught after having watched another black male die in front me, having to start my preliminary report something like this:

Berlin police HQ to triple in size

In less than two years, the Berlin Police Department expects to move into a new $2.5 million station that more than triples the size of its current building and brings many of its amenities up to current standards.

The Town Council on July 11 approved a bid by Willow Construction LLC to build the new station near the corner of Flower Street and Route 376.

The town used casino revenue to buy the property, and will continue to use those funds to finance design and construction costs.

Town Administrator Laura Allen said contractor Crosby & Associates worked on the design and assisted with the bid process. Five bidders responded to a request for proposals and were narrowed down to two, with the lowest bid winning.

“What this will do is this will get [police] a state-of-the-art facility that meets all the current requirements. Not that we’re out of compliance, but they have workarounds that they have to engage in when they handle different situations that they won’t have to work so hard at with this facility,” she said.

Mystery Surrounds Sources of Many Bill Clinton Speaking Fees

Small foreign speaking firms often listed as source of payments, actual paychecks came from undisclosed third parties

By all accounts, it was the most popular gala the Lady Taverners had ever held. Over 1,000 people packed the Park Lane Hilton in London on Oct. 30, 2009, with the crowd overflowing into the hallways, to listen to President Bill Clinton speak on the power of giving.

While Clinton’s speech helped raise a substantial sum for the prominent cricket charity, his staggering $290,000 speaking fee was not covered by the group, according to organizers. The fee also was not covered by “World Management Limited,” the marketing company Hillary Clinton listed as the payment source in her federal financial filings.

It was bankrolled by a wealthy British businessman named Robert Whitton—a name you won’t find included in the Clintons’ public disclosure forms.

Mayor Draws Ire After Hanging Black Lives Matter Banner on City Hall

(SOMERVILLE, Mass.) — Controversy over a Black Lives Matter banner affixed to the front of City Hall in the blue collar suburb of Somerville, Massachusetts, continued to rage Thursday as Mayor Joseph Curtatone announced that the sign would stay despite a request from the police union’s president to replace it with a banner that says “All Lives Matter.” Curtatone’s decision has prompted both outrage and praise in the community.

“The mayor has clearly chosen a side, and it’s not to support law enforcement,” Somerville Police Employees Association President Michael McGrath told ABC News.

The Black Lives Matter banner has hung near the entrance of Somerville City Hall since last August after Curtatone met with Black Lives Matter members who were upset at the arrests of protesters after they blocked a major Boston area highway during a Black Lives Matter protest in January, 2015. Those arrested became known as “the Somerville 18.” Most of them avoided jail time, instead receiving sentences of 60 hours of community service.

Philadelphia airport workers plan to strike during DNC

The fight to raise the minimum wage is headed to the doorstep of the Democratic National Convention, with local airport workers planning to go on strike when delegates descend upon Philadelphia next week.

Roughly 1,000 workers, including those who handle luggage, attend to passengers in wheelchairs and clean plane cabins, are expected to not show up for work in order to call attention to their demands for a $15 minimum wage and the ability to join the Service Employees International Union.

No specific date has been chosen. "It could be a one-day strike. It could be protracted,'' SEIU spokesman Marc Goumbri said, adding that a majority of the workers voted for the action on July 12. "But it’s going to occur while delegates are in Philadelphia" for the Democratic National Convention.

The work stoppage is the latest in a flurry of protests, rallies and walkouts staged at airports across the U.S., and is part of a broader movement by low-wage workers in industries ranging from child care to food service to boost pay to at least $15 an hour.

Tiegen witnessed firsthand the results of Clinton’s policy when he and his comrades in the Benghazi CIA Global Response Service Team defended U.S. consulate and CIA officials from a massive assault by radical Libyan jihadis Sept. 11, 2013.

He told The Daily Caller News Foundation Clinton’s failure as secretary of state during the Benghazi attack has caused many of the nation’s most elite special operations forces to quit their jobs — a problem that will only get worse if Clinton is elected.

“There’s guys leaving now just because of that,” Tiegen told TheDCNF in an exclusive Facebook Live video interview Tuesday. “Cause they don’t know if the call for help is going to be heard.”

Police: Woman Is Serial Thief of Wawa Coffee, Has Done It 40 to 50 Times

WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — Police in the Philadelphia suburbs are looking for a woman they believe has stolen $3,000 worth of coffee from Wawa convenience stores.

Police in West Goshen Township released store surveillance photos of the woman who, they say, steals bags of coffee from one store and then returns the same bags for cash refunds at other stores.

Police believe the woman has done this 40 or 50 times since early this year at Wawa stores near Philadelphia, as well as Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey.

Fifty Fox News Stars Stand With Roger Ailes

All of Fox News’ primetime lineup is willing to walk out of the network with chief executive and chairman Roger Ailes if he is pushed out by Rupert Murdoch and his family, Breitbart News has confirmed.

Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Shepard Smith, Bret Baier, Eric Bolling, Neil Cavuto, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Laura Ingraham, Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, Jeanine Pirro, Bo Dietl, Monica Crowley, all of the Fox and Friends hosts, and at least 50 Fox News contributors are willing to depart the network if Ailes is ousted, and leave with him to form a new network, one of the network’s anchors told Breitbart News late Tuesday.

All of them stand against Megyn Kelly, and all of them stand with Roger Ailes.

This development, which has been confirmed to Breitbart News by multiple network sources, effectively boxes in those who want to remove Ailes. Either they can throw all in behind Megyn Kelly—in which case they would have to forfeit most of the rest of the network—or they can stand with the hardworking anchors and news personalities at Fox News.

“If Fox wants to become the ‘all about Megyn Network,’ that’s fine,” one top Fox News host said. “We stand with Roger. And real anger has emerged that the so-called Megyn incident happened 10 years ago. The consensus among the hosts and contributors is: ‘Why didn’t she say anything then? Really, the same woman that posed half naked in GQ? The same woman on Howard Stern saying what?’”

A second top Fox News Channel host told Breitbart News: “If Megyn Kelly wants to leave, we are fine with that. Good riddance.”

Curing Our Coast: ‘We Are Just Trying To Get To The The Head Of The Snake’

BERLIN — The eastbound lane of Route 50 is buzzing with beachgoers as it is on most Friday afternoons in the summertime near Ocean City. Yet, on this day, a small team of undercover officers sit in strategic spots along the busy traffic artery poised and patiently waiting for one vehicle they expect to be passing within the next few minutes. The team believes this vehicle isn’t packed with Boogie boards or beach towels. Rather, it’s transporting heroin. You can feel the adrenaline start to bubble as the encrypted radio line crackles with word that the vehicle is closing in.

“I just crossed over the line,” says the voice. “She’s about a half a mile behind me in the right hand lane approaching fast.”

Two other voices chime in almost inaudible audio bursts on the line. The officers trade off coded language that indicates that all signs seem to point to the assumption that drugs are in the vehicle.

Listening to all of this is the man calling the shots and ultimately will pull the verbal trigger to pursue the vehicle and enact the arrest. He listens intently while his eyes are still locked on the hundreds of cars whizzing by us on Route 50.

“We’re going to keep it as low-key as we can because we only have one shot at this,” says Sgt. Nate Passwaters of the Worcester County Sheriff Department’s Criminal Enforcement Team. “We’ve been watching this person’s spouse for a few weeks, and we are pretty sure that they just made a trip up to Baltimore this morning to get some scramble. It looks like she’s the drug mule today”

How Many People Were Shot This Week At The RNC In Cleveland?

NONE, that's how many. Yet your Main Stream Media isn't saying a thing about it.

No one in their right mind is going to start shooting when law abiding citizens have the right to open carry a weapon and defend them-self and others.

Yet the Liberals think the big bad guns are the problem. Well, give everyone the right to carry and defend them-self and criminals will just never know who's going to blow them away out of nowhere. 

Law Enforcement cannot do it alone. Law Enforcement can't be everywhere at all times.

Republican Platform: The Constitution Gives Federal Government ‘No Role in Education’

The official 2016 platform of the Republican Party asserts that since the Constitution gives the federal government “no role in education,” it should not join with “centralizing forces” that have attempted to reform education and have subsequently done “immense damage.”

The platform affirms the primary role of parents as educators in a child’s life, and supports a constitutional amendment to protect the right of parents to direct their children’s education from the overreach of federal and state governments and from potential international intruders such as the United Nations. It also upholds “parent-driven accountability at every stage of schooling,” and recognizes the value of local control of education.

We reject a one- size-fits-all approach to education and support a broad range of choices for parents and children at the state and local level,” states the GOP platform. “We likewise repeat our long-standing opposition to the imposition of national standards and assessments, encourage the parents and educators who are implementing alternatives to Common Core, and congratulate the states which have successfully repealed it.

Four-Way Stop Placed At Busy West OC Intersection

WEST OCEAN CITY – Motorists traveling near the commercial harbor in West Ocean City will notice a new four-way stop at the intersection of Sunset Avenue and Golf Course Road.

The Worcester County Commissioners agreed this week to have stop signs added to Golf Course Road at the intersection so that it is now an all-way stop. Commissioner Bud Church, who represents that district, said he was eager to see the change take place.

“There have been several very serious accidents at that intersection,” he said.

The vote to install the four-way stop came after a presentation from John Tustin, the county’s public works director, at Tuesday’s meeting of the county commissioners. Tustin said that generally, multi-way stops were used when the volume of traffic on all of the approaches to an intersection were equal. According to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, before a four-way stop is installed there should be an average of 300 vehicles per hour on the major street (Golf Course Road) and at least 200 vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles per hour on the minor street (Sunset Avenue).

Tustin said under those guidelines, the intersection qualified for a four-way stop.
