QUOTE OF THE DAY 7-13-12

“If two parties with two sets of bad ideas cooperate, the result is not good policy, but policy that is extremely bad. What we really need are correct economic and politcal ideas, regardless of the party that pushes them.”

― Ron Paul, Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom

LIFE, LIBERTY, PROPERTY

No one can argue that our daily fight is against an out of control federal government. This is just a short reminder of what we are fighting FOR. I listen to the impassioned arguments of a few on this site that we need to vote for Obomney #2, because he is not Obomney #1. He will give free shit to different people is the only difference I see.

For those that would vote for Obomney #2, I would remind them that the Federal Government has but 3 jobs. To protect our Life, Liberty, and Property. That’s it. Obomney #2 has ZERO interest in doing any of these 3 things.

The Bill of Rights is the meat of the Constitution, the rest is window dressing. The following is what the Bill of Rights was written to protect, by amendment. I will not type out the amendments, because you should already know them, and if you do not, you are longggg past due in opening a Constitution.

1. Liberty
2. Life, Property
3. Liberty
4. Liberty, Property
5. Life, Liberty
6. Liberty
7. Property
8. Life, Liberty, Property
9. Liberty
10. Liberty

That’s it. It’s just that simple. Now just for fun, let’s look at the rest of the Amendments to see if our Federal Government has gotten away from their created purpose over time…

Hot Enough For You? Your Electric Fan May Not Be Helping

This might seem counterintuitive if you’ve ever cooled yourself down by the stiff breeze of an electric fan, but a new review published in the Cochrane Library suggests that there’s no good evidence that fans help during a heatwave.

GOP Pressing on With Contraception Lawsuit

Seven states trying to block part of the federal health care law that requires contraception coverage will continue with their lawsuit despite last month's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld most of the law, according to Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning, who is leading the case.

The federal lawsuit is challenging a rule that requires contraception coverage in health care plans _ including for employees of church-affiliated hospitals, schools and outreach programs. The suit argues that the rule violates the rights of employers that object to the use of contraceptives, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs.

The Brit Is Back


If you haven't seen this Brit before, you've missed an extraordinarily speaker.

He is serious when he is funny and he is funny when he is serious. And, boy, is he on point!

This is his latest, and I think the first of 2012.

Guns of Outlaws Bonnie and Clyde to be Auctioned

 She kept a Colt .38-caliber revolver close, while he preferred a .45-caliber pistol from the same maker.

But neither weapon was enough to save American outlaws and lovers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow during a 1934 ambush by law enforcement officers.

After the duo was dead, authorities recovered the revolver Bonnie had secured to an inner thigh with white medical tape.

HOME SALES TAX

I thought you might find this interesting, -- maybe even SICKENING!

The National Association of Realtors is all over this and working to get it repealed, -- before it takes effect. But, I am very pleased we aren't the only ones who know about this ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners. How many realtors do you think will vote Democratic in 2012?

Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill, -- and it goes into effect in 2013. Why 2013? Could it be so that it doesn't come to light until after the 2012 elections? So, this is "change you can believe in?"

Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% sales tax. Now you tell me, just what the hell does real estate tax have to do with your healthcare?

If you sell a $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation, -- who often downsize their homes. Does this make your November, 2012 vote more important?

Oh, you weren't aware that this was in the ObamaCare bill? Guess what; you aren't alone! There are more than a few members of Congress that weren't aware of it either.

A Letter To The Editor 7-13-12



These are pictures from Hazel Ave in Salisbury. Watched the gentleman from the Housing Inspector's office speak to the Management company about the trash sitting in the front yard and public sidewalk of this home ( owned and slum rented from management company).. Its now 7 days later, the renters are gone, house condemned and this trash still sits. Both parties have been by the house numerous times and the trash still sits 7 days later.. Why does this house and management company not have to abide my city rules? We have enough problems with the students and their trash and destruction no less slum Land lording and the city giving these companies a pass regarding their responsibilities. If this was their neighborhood would they like to drive by this every day? And, If that had been my home, I would be facing fines within hours of my noncompliance!

2 Md. State Senators Urge Big Fines for Pepco, BGE

Two Maryland state senators urged state regulators on Thursday to fine Pepco and Baltimore Gas and Electric more than $100 million each for the long power outages residents suffered during and after a powerful summer storm that swept across the state in late June.

Sen. Brian Frosh, D-Montgomery, and Sen. James Rosapepe, D-Prince George's, wrote the Public Service Commission that the money could be used to create a "Surge Reserve" fund to pay for additional trained workers to help restore power faster. The senators also have launched a web-based petition where consumers can add their names supporting the idea. There a public petition one for Pepco customers and one for BGE customers.

Clover Conditioning

It is not enough that we break the heretic. We must make him one of us. Words to that effect, as spoken by the character O’Brien to Winston Smith in 1984. Or the off-duty cop running the Court-Community Corrections Program Driver Improvement course I attend this past Saturday. All eight hours’ worth.

I played the part of a good Clover for an entire Saturday – pretending to agree (obligatory) with every jot and tittle of “safety” drivel – in order to disappear a ticket I got a few months prior. Yes, even when you carry a V1 – the finest pork-detector on the market – you are not invincible. Sometimes, it’s just not your day. And then, it’s your turn. A guy in a big SUV pulled out right in front of my car, forcing me to brake hard to avoid him. Annoyed, I broke left and passed the SUV. At just that moment, Officer Stand and Deliver happened to be coming out of a nearby side street. He was perfectly positioned to see me exceed the ridiculous 35 MPH speed limit (50 yards behind me, this same stretch of road is posted 45 and of course traffic is moving closer to 50) as I maneuvered around the obese SmooVee. He painted me with his instant-on and though the V1 chirped furiously, it was already too late. Fifteen minutes later, I had a piece of payin’ paper. My first one in six years.

D.C. Police Officer Allegedly Threatens First Lady

Reports by Fox 5 about a D.C. police officer making inappropriate comments in regards to the First Lady are "wildly inaccurate," Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said Thursday night in a statement from the Metropolitan Police Department.

Lanier also says the reports aren't consistent with what authorities are investigating.

Reports surfaced Thursday afternoon that a D.C. police officer who worked as a motorcycle escort for White House officials was placed on administrative duty after accusations surfaced that he made threatening comments against First Lady Michelle Obama.

Even Washington D.C. Insiders Admit Eric Holder Is A Bankster Puppet

You know it’s bad when even Washington D.C. insiders (and Democrats to boot) cringe at the cruel joke that the Department of Injustice has become under Eric “Fast and Furious” Holder. Look, we all know that in any government there is going to be some level of corruption, but when the country’s chief law enforcement officer is so obviously a lying crook and he stays in his position you know the ship is about to sink. Truly a great job by Richard Eskow for the Huffington Post on this one.

Key Quotes:
More and more Washington insiders are asking a question that was considered off-limits in the nation’s capital just a few months ago: Who, exactly, is Attorney General Eric Holder representing? As scandal after scandal erupts on Wall Street, involving everything from global lending manipulation to cocaine and prostitution, more and more people are worrying about Holder’s seeming inaction — or worse — in the face of mounting evidence.

The problem isn’t a shortage of scandalous stories. We’ve seen a lot of those. What we haven’t seen, at least here in the United States, is a single indictment of a senior Wall Street banker from the United States Department of Justice. And that’s what has these political insiders concerned.

State Reverses Flag Ban at Mass. Housing Complex

The state on Thursday stepped in to reverse a decision by a Massachusetts town's housing authority that barred residents from flying U.S. flags outside their homes.
"We were not aware of this decision when it was made, and it was a mistake that is being corrected immediately," Department of Housing and Community Development spokesman Jason Lefferts said in a statement. "(The agency's) policy for local housing authorities includes not allowing displays of private materials in public areas. This does not extend to respectful and safe displays of the American flag."

UPDATE: Counterfeit Currency Arrests

On July 9, 2012, Ocean City Police investigators received information from the Fruitland, Maryland Police Department, in reference to the arrest of two adult male suspects for the possession and passing of counterfeit currency.

Fruitland detectives were aware that the OCPD was also investigating a rash of counterfeit currency crimes and believed the suspects in their custody may be involved in the Ocean City cases as well.

Based in the preliminary information provided by the Fruitland Police, OCPD investigators were able to determine that the two persons arrested in Fruitland, were in-fact suspects who were captured on surveillance cameras passing counterfeit currency in Ocean City during the weekend of July 6, 2012.

The two subjects arrested and charged by the Fruitland Police Department were identified as: Deontrae Lamar Bailey, 19, from Pocomoke, MD and Quincy Lene Williams, 21, of Norfolk, VA.

The subsequent investigation revealed the two subjects arrested by police passed counterfeit U.S. Currency in Fruitland, Ocean City, Princess Anne, and Pocomoke. A joint investigation was initiated by all these police departments, including the United States Secret Service.

During the investigation, area police have so far recovered several thousand dollars in counterfeit U.S. Currency which has been linked to these two suspects. Several regional Banks are still locating counterfeit U.S. Currency from deposits of local merchants.

Both Willams and Bailey have been charged by the OCPD with:

■4 counts of Theft under $100 (misdemeanor)
■2 counts of Attempted Theft under $100 (misdemeanor)
■1 count Manufacturing Counterfeit Currency (Felony)
■1 count Conspiracy to Manufacture Counterfeit Currency (misdemeanor)
■1 count of Conspiracy to Issue or Possess Currency (misdemeanor)
■1 count of Conspiracy to commit theft (misdemeanor)
■2 counts Possession of Forged Currency (misdemeanor)
Both Williams and Bailey are being held at the Wicomico County Detention Center on $10,000 bond.

The Ocean City Police Department is warning residents, business owners and employees to be on the lookout for counterfeit currency.

Ocean City Police are asking anyone with information about this incident, or the suspects involved, to please contact the Ocean City Police Department at 410.723.6600.

In addition Ocean City Police are encouraging citizens to closely examine currency by looking carefully at the money you receive. Citizens should be aware of the security features located on currency. The three main security features located on bills are: color-shifting inks on the number, security threads, which display the denomination of the currency imbedded in the bill and the watermark of the main image on the face of the bill located on the right side of note.

Ocean City Police Department is offering these tips to detect suspicious or counterfeit currency:

■The genuine portrait appears lifelike and stands out distinctly from the background. The counterfeit portrait is usually lifeless and flat. Details merge into the background, which is often too dark or mottled.
■On a genuine bill, the saw-tooth points of the Federal Reserve and Treasury seals are clear, distinct and sharp. The counterfeit seals may have uneven, blunt or broken saw-tooth points.
■Genuine serial numbers have a distinctive style and are evenly spaced. The serial numbers are printed in the same ink color as the Treasury Seal. On a counterfeit, the serial numbers may differ in color or shade of ink from the Treasury seal. The numbers may not be uniformly spaced or aligned.

Ocean City Police are asking that residents and businesses contact the department if you locate suspicious currency. In addition, the department reminds businesses and community groups that a crime prevention officer is available to conduct counterfeit awareness presentations upon appointment through the Public Affairs Office.

For further information on detecting counterfeit U. S. currency, citizens are encouraged to visit the United States Secret Service Web site at: http://www.secretservice.gov/know_your_money.shtml

A Comment Worthy Of A Post 7-13-12

I guess if the Salisbury situation is going to be discussed we may as well talk about the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office. The county is so broke they have three rookies in the academy. Why are no officers from other depts. applying ??? Mike Lewis stepped three commanders up a rank. Why?? Then hired a Trooper at Sergeants pay. WTF is going on. Where did this Sgts. position come from in terms of funding ? Also as a previous poster stated he just told all of his troops that tested for rank I have no faith or loyality to you. Also at what cost to the county was this testing process. Why even have it if you do not intend to use it. Come on Mike what the hell has happend to you or should I say are you even running the department. Joe good luck finding Mike for a comment he is away teaching on the county dime again I am told. Duncan and Lewis need to go. Sheriff's should be limited to two terms period.
