Millions of dollars are missing. The sheriff is dead. A small Virginia town wants answers.
FRONT ROYAL, Va. —Before the $21 million allegedly went missing, before the sheriff put his gun in his mouth and fired, before Tuesday’s announcement that the entire top tier of the Warren County government had been indicted, there was the dream.
It was a dream of renewal for this town 70 miles from Washington, which fell on hard times after a rayon manufacturing plant closed in 1989, leaving 1,300 people jobless and 440 acres full of toxic waste.
Twenty-five years later, with the land cleaned up and Front Royal increasingly attractive to tourists and former city dwellers, officials announced plans for a data center and retail complex that would bring 600 jobs and act as a catalyst for other projects.

Drag Queen Story Hour for Young Children Celebrated as Part of LGBTQ ‘Big Read’ Event
The Hartford Public Library in Connecticut will host two Drag Queen Story Hour events Saturday as part of the library’s celebration of its LGBTQ “Big Read” campaign.
The controversial drag queen events have stirred tensions in many cities throughout the country, such as Chula Vista, California, where an LGBT-activist city official said groups protesting the event were people who hold “white supremacist beliefs.”
Hartford Library CEO Bridget Quinn told the Hartford Courant she is prepared for any protests against the event.
“I don’t anticipate a major response,” she said. “Hartford is pretty open-minded.”
“We have had a few people express concern, but we tell them that this is a way to engage kids in reading,” Quinn added. “It’s fun. It’s a way to expose them to different cultures and lifestyles.”

Michigan official, once honored by Dems, now facing election fraud charges
A Michigan official who earlier this year received an award from the state’s Democrat Party is now facing six felony charges for allegedly forging records and falsely marking absentee ballots as invalid during the 2018 election.
Sherikia Hawkins, 38, city clerk for the city of Southfield, was arrested Monday after the Oakland County Clerk’s office noticed discrepancies in voter counts while certifying absentee ballots from Southfield. State police investigated and found that records had been altered so that nearly 200 voter files were improperly listed as invalid.
According to court documents, Michigan police found that 193 absentee voter files were changed in the city’s computer system to say they either had no signature or no return date, when they had both valid signatures and return dates. Police stated that after Oakland County Election Director Joseph Rozell found that Hawkins had submitted altered reports, his staff found the original ones in a trash can at the election division office.

Rashida Tlaib smeared a conservative witness as a conspiracy theorist, but she came off looking like the nut
Here is a tip: If you want to paint your opponent as a conspiratorial nut, it is best not to come across as a conspiratorial nut yourself.
In other words, do the opposite of what Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan did Tuesday during a congressional hearing on e-cigarettes. The moment occurred after a witness, vaping advocate Vicki Porter, smiled and winked at Wisconsin Republican Rep. Glenn Grothman as he formally introduced her during the hearing's opening moments.
Tlaib found the show of familiarity disturbing.
“It is so important that you all continue to speak truth about this because long-term effects [are] very dangerous, especially because they have been targeted towards youth,” the congresswoman said.

Attorney For Anti-Trump ‘Whistleblower’ Worked For Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer
The anonymous person who filed a formal, uncorroborated complaint against President Donald Trump for allegedly asking a foreign leader to investigate corruption related to Joe Biden now has a legal team that includes a Democratic operative who worked for Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).
Andrew Bakaj, now a managing partner at the Compass Rose Legal Group, interned for Schumer in the spring of 2001 and for Clinton in the fall of the same year, according to Bakaj’s LinkedIn page. More recently, Bakaj has worked as an official in the CIA and Pentagon and specializes in whistleblower and security clearances in his legal practice.
Bakaj’s anonymous client has filed complaint based on rumors accusing Trump of requesting that Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky investigate 2020 Democratic frontrunner and former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, for their business dealings with a Ukrainian energy company. The intelligence inspector general decided the complaint is “credible” and “urgent,” but officials at the Department of National Intelligence say otherwise due to the lack of evidence undergirding the complaint and have refused to release it to Congress. The anonymous whistleblower has also admitted to not having firsthand knowledge of the conversations between the president and Zelensky.

EPA threatens California over backlog of 100-plus air quality plans
The Environmental Protection Agency is threatening to withhold highway funds and permitting approvals from California until the state agrees to redo more than 100 air quality plans.
California "has failed to carry out its most basic tasks under the Clean Air Act," EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler wrote in a Sept. 24 letter to the state's top air regulator, Mary Nichols. Wheeler said in the letter that California represents about a third of the air quality plans the EPA has in a backlog, neither approved nor denied, and some of those plans date back to pollution limits from the 1970s.
States are required to submit plans outlining how they'll meet federal air quality standards for pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter that contribute to smog and soot. The EPA then is supposed to approve or disapprove those plans.

'Parade in search of a rationale': Mitch McConnell blasts impeachment inquiry
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted House Democrats for moving forward on an impeachment inquiry against President Trump, and chastised the party for their unwillingness to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election.
“Washington Democrats have been searching for ways to reverse their 2016 election defeat since before President Trump was even inaugurated," McConnell said in a Tuesday press release. Drawing on the "breathless accusations" of Russian collusion that ultimately fell flat, he claimed the Democratic Party "has been a two-and-a-half-year impeachment parade in search of a rationale."
“Speaker Pelosi’s much-publicized efforts to restrain her far-left conference have finally crumbled," the Kentucky Republican continued. "House Democrats cannot help themselves. Instead of working together across party lines on legislation to help American families and strengthen our nation, they will descend even deeper into their obsession with relitigating 2016."

Berlin Indefinitely Closes Park Over Spill Cleanup Costs
BERLIN – Town officials agreed to close Heron Park indefinitely rather than spend $55,000 more on cleanup costs.
At Monday’s meeting of the Berlin Town Council, officials voted 3-1, with Councilman Dean Burrell opposed and Councilman Troy Purnell absent, to close the park. Though the cleanup of the chemical spill that occurred at the property has been completed, debris from the remaining buildings at the former poultry processing plant still needs to be removed.
“It seems like there’s a lot of obstacles there that could cause some harm,” Councilman Zack Tyndall said.
According to Mayor Gee Williams, roughly $75,000 in demolition work had been completed at the park when June’s chemical spill occurred. Since then, the town has spent $260,578 on spill cleanup and Williams expects final costs to reach $283,000. Nevertheless, he asked the council Monday to consider spending an additional $55,000 with Goody Hill Groundworks to have the various piles of debris and dilapidated small buildings on the site removed. He said the town had gotten pricing from Goody Hill because the company had a good history of working with the town.

Cohabiting Partners Older, More Racially Diverse, More Educated, Higher Earners
The number of unmarried partners living together in the United States nearly tripled in two decades from 6 million to 17 million, 7% of the total adult population (xls).
As more unmarried couples opted to live together, their profile changed significantly, according to a new study from the U.S. Census Bureau: “Cohabitation over the Last 20 Years: Measuring and Understanding the Changing Demographics of Unmarried Partners, 1996-2017.”
The latest estimates from the Current Population Survey’s Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC) show unmarried partners are now older, more racially diverse, more educated and more likely to earn higher wages.

Hungary PM: 'We Reject Migrant Quotas, But Accept Deportation Quotas With Pleasure'
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced that his government rejects any migrant resettlement quotas imposed by the European Union, but will gladly participate in deporting masses of illegal aliens.
Speaking at an event in Rome organized by the nationalist-conservative party Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy), PM Orbán urged Italian leadership to protect its citizens and borders, vowing to support in the effort if they do, while acknowledging that the new government seems to be realigning itself with the globalist agenda.
"Hungary is ready to help Italy in whatever way we can, but there are areas where we cannot help," Orbán said. "We cannot help with the transport and settlement of any migrants in Hungary. That is impossible."

Judge: Students Can Sue Wayne State for Forcing Non-Christian Leaders in Christian Group
A United States District Court judge handed down a decision this week in favor of a group of Christian students that are suing Wayne State University over a policy that requires them to accept non-Christian students as leaders for their Christian student organization.
According to a report by The College Fix, a federal judge has ruled that Christian students at Wayne State University can move forward with their lawsuit against the university over its policy that requires them to allow non-Christian students to hold leadership positions in their Christian group.
The organization, the Wayne State chapter of InterVarsity, was shut down by the public Wayne State University over allegations that the organization’s policies on non-Christian student leaders were discriminatory.
In the fall of 2017, the university revoked the chapter’s official recognition and canceled all of its scheduled meetings. The penalty was imposed upon the group as a punishment for the group’s internal policy that non-Christians could not serve in leadership positions.

Wicomico Executive Denies Sabotage Claim On Folk Festival
Editor's Note: This article gives a little more detail than the press release.
SALISBURY – Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver shared his intentions last week for sending a letter to Maryland Senate President Mike Miller outlining his concerns that wine and beer licenses approved by Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot for the National Folk Festival were “illegal” after the comptroller’s chief of staff penned a response lambasting the county leader of “economic sabatoge.”
Last Friday, Comptroller Peter Franchot’s Chief of Staff Len Foxwell sent a letter to Culver denouncing the county leader’s “private correspondence” with Miller two weeks before the National Folk Festival was slated to begin in downtown Salisbury.
Culver’s letter to Miller, dated Aug. 27, highlighted his concerns that alcohol licenses granted by the comptroller to the City of Salisbury for the festival were in violation of state Article 2B.
“The event that the licenses are approved for is neither a Non-Profit Wine Festival nor a Non-Profit Beer Festival,” he wrote. “Furthermore, the licenses that have been issued primary purpose is to promote Maryland Wine and Beer. The approved licenses are for the Folk Festival which had no relevance to a Wine Festival or a Beer Festival.”
Culver told Miller the comptroller was aware that the folk festival was not a nonprofit beer or wine festival.

VA settles with Navy vet for $150G in malpractice lawsuit
A Navy vet who was allegedly turned away by a Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital in South Carolina because it claimed he had cocaine in his system has been awarded a $150,000 settlement in his medical malpractice lawsuit, according to a report.
Eric Walker, 49, sued the VA after the Wm. Jennings Bryan Dorn VA Medical Center allegedly refused to treat him when he arrived with excruciating abdominal pain in 2015, according to The State.
Walker alleged that the hospital mixed up his urine sample with that of a cocaine addict. A doctor refused to treat him and told him to go home and quit drugs, he said.
“I said, ‘I don’t do cocaine,’ and he said, ‘I hear that all the time -- but your urinalysis says otherwise,’” Walker told The State.
“Dorn Emergency Room personnel informed (Walker) that his stomach pains were a direct result of ingesting multiple illegal drugs, in particular, excessive cocaine,” his lawsuit claimed, The State reported in January 2018.
Walker later went to the Lexington Medical Center. He learned he had gallstones and gallbladder and pancreatic disease, and received surgery.
The VA issued a statement to the publication on Monday, saying: “There is no evidence this veteran’s lab results were handled improperly. VA settled this case to avoid further litigation."

Schweizer: Hunter Biden Made a Deal with China that ‘Nobody Else Has’
Appearing Monday on the Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity, Breitbart News senior contributor and Secret Empires author Peter Schweizer elaborated on the troubling circumstances surrounding Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China and Ukraine, noting that his $1.5 billion private equity deal with the Bank of China remains unprecedented in the investment world.
A transcript is as follows:
JOHN SOLOMON: While talking to senior U.S. diplomats today, overseas in Europe, I learned that on April 22, 2014, less than three weeks before the Burisma Holdings announced that Hunter Biden was joining their board, Vice President Joe Biden met with the prime minister of Ukraine. And in that meeting, according to a transcript, which I obtained tonight, Joe Biden specifically encouraged the Ukrainians to expand natural gas production with the help of Americans coming to the country. He set up the exact scenario that Hunter Biden just a few weeks earlier cashed in on.
SEAN HANNITY: Whoa, this now takes things to a whole new level, because now, he’s basically doing the bidding for his own son’s wealth creation. Maybe even his son would share with his father.
SOLOMON: Those are the questions that Ukrainians are trying to answer back in 2016 before the prosecutor was fired, Sean. And they never got to the bottom of that. But I do think the evidence that the Ukrainians possess and would like to give to the U.S. Justice Department, it’s sitting there to be hand over. Someone from the Justice Department could pick it up tomorrow.

Trump Campaign Celebrates Impeachment: Thank You Democrats, You Just Re-elected POTUS With a Landslide
The Trump campaign is celebrating House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's announcement Tuesday evening to open an "impeachment inquiry" into President Trump.
"Democrats can't beat President Trump on his policies or his stellar record of accomplishment, so they're trying to turn a Joe Biden scandal into a Trump problem. The misguided Democrat impeachment strategy is meant to appease their rabid, extreme, leftist base, but will only serve to embolden and energize President Trump's supporters and create a landslide victory for the President," the Trump campaign released in a statement.

Florida woman bites 600-pound camel's testicles after it sat on her
GROSSE TETE, Louisiana - A Florida woman found herself in a lumpy situation: underneath a 600-pound camel.
How did this happen? Well, it all started with a visit to a Louisiana truck stop.
Casper the camel was inside his enclosure at the Tiger truck stop in Grosse Tete, Louisiana when Gloria Lancaster, 68, and Edmond Lancaster, 73, from Milton, Florida, stopped in, according to The Associated Press.
Truck stop manager, Pamela Bossier, said the couple was chasing their dog, who is deaf, and tossing treats his way when one of those treats went through the enclosure, CNN reported.
That’s when things got weird(er).
Casper got spooked, went toward the couple and sat on the woman.

Our future belongs to patriots, not to globalists
President Trump: “If you want freedom, take pride in your country.”“The future does not belong to globalists—the future belongs to patriots. The future belongs to sovereign and independent nations who protect their citizens, respect their neighbors, and honor the differences that make each country special and unique,” the President said.
America today is a prime example of the success that can be had when a country starts focusing on the good of its own people. Before President Trump took office, many leaders around the world, including our own, spent the bulk of their time and energy catering to the opinions of fellow global elites. Lost in the shuffle of this popularity contest were the interests of the working class that built this country. Jobs were outsourced, and a shrinking handful of insiders became wealthier at the expense of everyone else.
“Globalism exerted a religious pull over past leaders, causing them to ignore their own national interests,” President Trump said.
It’s a different story now, as America has witnessed an economic revival centered around pro-growth, pro-worker policies such as historic tax cuts, deregulation, and trade reform. President Trump reminded world leaders today that the results of this agenda are paying off for those previously left behind. “Wages are rising. Incomes are soaring. And 2.5 million Americans have been lifted out of poverty in less than 3 years,” he said.
Throughout today’s speech, he made the case for applying similar approaches to the most pressing issues of our time. All of these ideas have one important thing in common: They put the interests of American people first.
- Fighting unfair trade: Old trade deals that outsourced our jobs are being thrown out, replaced by fair ones—such as the NAFTA-revamping USMCA—that give our workers a level playing field.
- Protecting individual freedoms: America is leading the way in promoting liberty as a human rights issue throughout the world, including championing the economic role of women in our societies.
- Shutting down dangerous open-border advocates: Unprecedented action is being taken to stop illegal immigration and put an end to human smuggling once and for all.
- Holding Iran accountable: President Trump called on fellow world leaders to join America in standing up to Iran, the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism.
- Promoting a free Western Hemisphere: America stands with the people of Venezuela, and the events taking place there should remind everyone that socialism ultimately leads to poverty and authoritarianism.
Building a better future starts at home. It’s a simple message that President Trump has encouraged his fellow world leaders to embrace from the beginning. If the American blueprint is followed—putting citizens before the ruling class and standing up for democratic sovereignty without hesitation—then real prosperity is never far behind.

Rudy Giuliani: Joe Biden’s Scandal ‘Will Be A Lot Bigger Than Spiro Agnew’
On Sunday, President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani claimed that there is a lot of information coming down the pipeline on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, and that the alleged scandals to which Biden is connected will be a lot bigger than some other infamous political scandals in the United States.
Appearing on Fox News, Giuliani explained to John Roberts the situation involving Biden and Ukraine: "What I'm talking about, this, it's Ukrainian collusion, which was large, significant, and proven with Hillary Clinton, with the Democratic National Committee, a woman named Chalupa, with the ambassador, with an FBI agent who's now been hired by George Soros who was funding a lot of it."
"When Biden got the prosecutor fired, the new prosecutor, who Biden approved – you don't get to approve a prosecutor in a foreign country, unless something fishy is going on," Giuliani continued. "The new prosecutor dropped the case, not just on Biden's kid and the crooked company that Biden's kid work for, Burisma. That was done as a matter of record in October of 2016, after the guy got tanked."

Maryland SAT Participation Rises to 77% for Class of 2019
Exam Taken By Record Number of Public School Graduates
BALTIMORE (September 24, 2019)– The number of public school graduates across Maryland who participated in the SAT Assessments rose significantly compared to 2018, with more than 3,000 additional students in the class of 2019 taking the exam, according to data released today by the College Board. Seventy-seven percent of the public school class of 2019 were SAT takers, compared to 72 percent of the class of 2018.
Important gains were made in the numbers of black/African American and Hispanic/Latino students who took the assessment, a key indicator for postsecondary education readiness. Additionally, compared to 2018, participation by Hispanic/Latino students was up by nearly 30 percent, while 5.8 percent more black/African American students took the exam.
The composite score for graduating Maryland public school students was 1041 for the class of 2019, dropping from 1066 for the class of 2018. However, a total of 43,587 students took the exam, compared to 40,571 students last year and 36,329 students in 2017.
Dr. Karen Salmon, State Superintendent of Schools, pointed out that the steady rise in SAT participation indicates that a growing number of Maryland students are planning and preparing for college or the workforce as they complete high school.
Dr. Salmon stated, “As we expand our reach among students throughout every community, it is natural for us to have a slight calibration in scores as these first-time test takers learn and grow. We are proud that more students than ever before are thinking about their future beyond high school, and I am confident that our scores will continue their recent upward trend as this rigorous exam becomes integrated into all schools.”
In terms of scores, Maryland graduates scored above the national total for public school students. The composite score nationally among public school students was 1039, which was below Maryland’s score of 1041. The mean score for the evidence-based reading and writing section for Maryland public school students in the class of 2019 was 526, compared to the national public school mean of 524. The math scores for Maryland public school graduates and national public school SAT takers were the same, with both at 515.
