Brilliant Response to Liberal Claim “My Body, My Choice”
The fact that it’s even a debate whether or not a woman is able to kill an unborn child because she was irresponsible and doesn’t want to be punished with a baby (as Obama likes to say) is mind-boggling. I guess they are consistent though and don’t believe in personal responsibility under any circumstances. So they got that going for them… which is nice.
If you don’t want to have a baby, how about you try having sex with condoms and birth control, or the most radical idea, don’t have sex until you’re ready.

The Next Domino To Fall: Commercial Real Estate
Unless the Federal Reserve intends to buy up every dead and dying mall in America, this is one crisis that the Fed can't bail out with a few digital keystrokes.
Just as generals prepare to fight the last war, central banks prepare to battle the last financial crisis--which in the present context means a big-bank liquidity meltdown like the one that nearly toppled thr global financial system in 2008-09.
Planning to win the next war by assuming it will be a copy of the last confict is an excellent strategy for losing the next war. The same holds true for the next financial crisis: reckoning that it will be a repeat of 2008 is an excellent way to be caught completely off-guard.
Crises may rhyme, but they don't repeat. The next Global Financial Meltdown won't start in subprime mortgages--that sector has been wiped out, written down, or passed on to the poor tax-donkey taxpayers.

Lead-Paint Bill Would Let Baltimore Sue for Past Damages
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Bills that would hold accountable those whose products cause lead poisoning, and taking lead out of drinking water, are moving through legislative committees in the Maryland General Assembly this session.
The House Judiciary Committee heard testimony Wednesday on a bill that would allow plaintiffs — ostensibly the city of Baltimore and landlords — to broadly sue manufacturers of lead-based paint for property or economic damages caused by the presence of lead-based paint in residential buildings.
Baltimore in particular would be able to recoup any costs the city has committed to abatement — fixing actual damages and funding educational programs in particular. Lead exposure in young children is linked to developmental delays, learning difficulties, weight loss, hearing loss and abdominal pain.

Sen. Al Franken Opposed to School Choice Except for His Own Kids
Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) was highly critical of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos during her confirmation hearing, citing that DeVos had never attended a public school or sent a child to one, alphanews.com reported on March 2.
But Franken seems to like the idea of sending his own children to private schools — they attended Dalton School in New York City where tuition is $44,640 per year.
“Dalton is known for educating celebrities and children of royalty,” alphanews.com reported.
And Franken himself enjoyed attending a private school.
“According to an interview with Harvard Magazine, Franken was a math and science whiz as a boy,” alphanews.com reported. “As he approached secondary school years, his parents wanted to find a better school for their gifted student.”
“Franken ended up attending and graduating from Blake, one of the most exclusive private schools in the Minneapolis area, where the tuition for upperclassmen is currently $29,025 per year,” alphanews.com reported.

Here's what life for 'Baby Jessica' is like today
It all happened in her family's home in the oil city of Midland, Texas, where her aunt, Jamie Moore, ran a daycare center. Jessica was playing with a few other children in the backyard while her mother, Cissy, watched over them. Cissy went inside the house for just a moment to answer a phone call, and rushed out when she heard the other children screaming because Jessica had fallen down a well that was 22-feet-deep and only eight inches in diameter.
The fact that the well was so deep and narrow and that she was trapped under solid rock made the rescue mission uncommonly difficult, and as each hour passed, parents everywhere watching their worst nightmare unfold on CNN began to lose hope for her survival. But the rescue teams managed to drill a parallel well and then create a tunnel to where baby Jessica was trapped, and finally, at the 58-hour mark, she was safely brought above ground.

David Horowitz: Obama Is Leading 'War to Destroy Trump'
Under the guise of "resistance" – as though the Trump was the head of an occupying army rather than an elected president – they have set out to destroy his administration.
They are not "sore losers," as many had surmised when their hysterical attacks on Trump as an American Hitler began. They are an army of saboteurs bent on destroying the government the voters preferred.
Their general, Barack Obama, is an unrepentant radical who abused the office of the presidency when he was in power, and as ex-president is now leading a war to overthrow his successor..

Council Expresses Regret Hours After Okaying Brewery’s Silo Addition
OCEAN CITY — Resort officials this week approved a conditional use amendment allowing for the installation of a grain silo at a mid-town brewery, but some on the Mayor and Council later regretted the decision amid concerns the company had not been entirely forthcoming over an existing silo.
On Monday, the Mayor and Council approved the findings of fact on a pair of requests to modify conditional use permits for the Ocean City Brewing Company at 56th Street that would allow the company to expand an existing front deck to allow for a greater outdoor dining and play area and install an indoor grain silo that would stand 34 feet tall with as many as 16 feet protruding from the existing roof line.
Earlier this year, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the conditional use permit requests submitted by the Ocean City Brewing Company after a lengthy public hearing that carried over from November into January. During the public hearing, the planning commission heard testimony from neighboring property owners concerned a grain silo protruding from the existing facility would greatly impact their views and ultimately their property values.

Like Carson, Obama Called Slaves 'Immigrants'
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson was lambasted by critics Monday after referring to Africans who came to America aboard slave ships as "immigrants," but former President Barack Obama has used the same language.
Carson, speaking to HUD employees on Monday, said, "There were other immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships, who worked even longer, even harder, for less, but they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land."
Carson, who is black, took heat from the NAACP, the Anne Frank Center and several others over the remarks. But he was undeterred, and instead of apologizing, he doubled down during a Monday night appearance on Armstrong Williams' Sirius XM Radio show.
"I think people need to actually look up the word immigrant," Carson told Williams.

Anne Arundel sees 16 opioid overdoses, three of them fatal, within 24 hours
As of 3:45 a.m., three adults were dead, in Glen Burnie, Pasadena and Linthicum, said Lt. Ryan Frashure. One of the deaths was not from heroin per se.
Most of the reported overdoses were in the northern and western parts of the county, he said.
"This has not been an issue overnight. Heroin has been an issue with us for the past two to three years," said Frashure, adding the numbers often fluctuate. "This definitely does stand out as one of our higher 24-hour periods."

ANTWANE CURTIS JONES SENTENCED FOR ROBBERY AND BURGLARY
On March 9, 2017, a Wicomico County Circuit Court Judge sentenced Antwane Curtis Jones, age 33, of Wicomico County, Maryland to serve 52 years in the Department of Corrections, with all but 24 years of that time suspended. Upon release, Jones will be placed on 3 years of supervised probation.
On November 30, 2016, Curtis entered a plea of guilty to three counts of Robbery and one count of Second Degree Burglary. The events that Jones plead guilty to stem from a two week time span where Jones robbed three separate victims and burglarized the Lucky Star in Fruitland, Maryland.
The first crime occurred on April 17, 2016, when Jones broke into the Lucky Star located at 208 N. Fruitland Blvd., Fruitland, Maryland and stole U.S currency which was located within the business. Days later, Jones robbed the Wine Rack, located at 100 W. Cedar Lane, Fruitland, Maryland. In the early morning hours of
April 24, 2017, Jones entered the convenience store and demanded money and cigarettes from the store employee. On April 30, 2017, Jones robbed the Education Supplies Store located at 1506 South Salisbury Blvd, Salisbury, Maryland. Jones approached the store owner as she was leaving her establishment, threw her to the ground and demanded money. The last robbery occurred on May 4, 2016, at the United States Postal Office located at 201 E. Main Street, Fruitland, Maryland. On this date, Jones entered the establishment
wearing a ski mask, jumped over the counter and demanded money from the postal workers. On May 5, 2016, members of the Fruitland Police Department executed a search and seizure warrant on the Defendant’s home and found evidence which linked him to the crimes. Jones was subsequently placed under arrest and has been held at the Wicomico County Detention Center since May 6, 2016.

Miracle Ship - HMS Resolute
So ... here is the story, and here is the proof. We can learn all about it from an old newspaper which was published in England, in late 1856.
To begin, let’s set the stage.
The ship, called HMS Resolute, was on a specific mission. She was one of five vessels sent to look for the missing Franklin Expedition (a crew of men, and their leader, who were searching for a fabled “Northwest Passage” in the Arctic Region). The mummified remains, of some of those Franklin-expedition men, were later found on a lonely Arctic-area island.
The Resolute was a sturdy ship, built to manage the treacherous conditions of ice-clogged Arctic seas. Though such vessels could often make way where differently designed ships would never go, they could still get trapped in moving ice packs. Sometimes the ice would crush even a well-designed ship..
