Expert warns Dem candidate 'likely to be even worse than Obama' on jihadi mayhem
Two Hillary Clinton campaign officials expressed disappointment last December when they found out one of the San Bernardino terrorists had an ethnic-sounding name. This was revealed in a private email released by WikiLeaks.
Which suggests, strongly, that a Hillary Clinton White House could be focused on insulating Islam from terror and she would “likely” be worse than Barack Obama
It was after MSNBC host Chris Hayes tweeted, “NBC News now reporting a U.S. citizen named Sayeed Farouk [sic] believed to be one of the people involved in the shooting” that Karen Finney, a Clinton campaign spokeswoman, responded in an internal email with one word: “Damn.”
She then forwarded the tweet with her response to John Podesta, the Clinton campaign chairman. Podesta emailed back, “Better if a guy named Sayeed Farouk [sic] was reporting that a guy named Christopher Hayes was the shooter.”

Clinton Campaign Chairman Mocks Hillary: 'Laughing Too Hard Is Her Authentic Weirdness'
Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta mocked her tendency to laugh loudly at inappropriate times in another embarrassing snit between top Democrats, leaked emails reveal.
Podesta and senior advisor to advocacy group Engage Cuba Luke Albee discussed the contentious House Committee hearing held about her conduct during the deadly terrorist attack on a U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya.
“Thought she was really good. Really good. She sometimes laughs a little too hard at jokes that aren’t that funny. Other than that…A,” Albee wrote on Sept. 20, 2015.
“Laughing too hard is her authentic weirdness,” Podesta replied that day.

Rasmussen poll has Trump up by 3
'Most accurate' presidential survey also indicates vote shock
Whatever impact the third and final presidential debate of the 2016 election season may have still is to come, but the day after the event, Rasmussen had GOP nominee Donald Trump up by three points in its polling.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online White House Watch survey finds Trump with 43 percent support among Likely U.S. Voters to Clinton’s 40 percent,” the report said Thursday.
“Six percent still prefer Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, and three percent favor Green Party nominee Jill Stein. Another three percent like some other candidate, and six percent are undecided.”

O'Keefe: Mainstream Media Losing Power to Stop Trump
The establishment can't win
Citizen journalism and social media has overpowered the collapsing, discredited mainstream media, says Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe.
“You are seeing social media and the grassroots in this country become more powerful than the mainstream media,” O’Keefe said on The Alex Jones Show Thursday. “We’re the social media barbarians at the gates.”
Because the bombshell Project Veritas videos are receiving enormous online attention, the mainstream media is now forced to do their job and cover it after Republican nominee Donald Trump brought them up at the final presidential debate and people “flooded their inboxes.”
“If they air this stuff, the election’s over,” O’Keefe added.

**Update** Troopers Investigating Fatal Crash Southeast of Laurel
The incident occurred around 2:00 p.m. Friday October 21, 2016 as Andrea C. Reid, 71 of Laurel, was operating a 2010 Ford Ranger pickup truck northbound on Old Stage Road approaching the intersection of Whitesville Road (SR30) which is controlled by a posted stop sign. Carlton N. Willing, 57 of Laurel, was operating a 2003 Freightliner Tractor Trailer, pulling a partially loaded feed trailer, eastbound on SR30 approaching the intersection of Old Stage Road and had the right of way at this intersection. For unknown reasons, Reid failed to slow or stop for the stop sign and entered the intersection and struck the right side of the tractor trailer. After the impact, the pickup truck rotated approximately 180 degrees and was pushed off the right side of the road where it came to a stop in a ditch. The tractor trailer continued in an easterly direction and pulled to a controlled stop in the eastbound lane east of the intersection.
Andrea Reid, who was not properly restrained, was ejected from her vehicle and pronounced dead as the scene.
Carlton Willing was properly restrained and was uninjured in the crash.
The Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing their investigation into this incident. Speed and alcohol are not considered factors in this collision. SR30 at Old Stage Road was closed for approximately four hours while the crash was investigated and cleared.

WIKILEAKS: Hillary Took Algeria Off Terror Watch List After Donation to Clinton Foundation
A new Wikileaks document reveals Hillary took Algeria off the US terror watch list after they made a hefty donation to the Clinton Foundation’s Haiti relief project.
How is that legal?
The Clinton camp was discussing Joe Scarborough’s discussion on the Algerian donations to the Clinton Foundation. The Clinton advisors defended the move in the email saying it’s “legal gray area.”
Firearms expert to Hillary: Heller case wasn’t about ‘toddlers’
Gun Owners of America chief stunned by candidate's claim
Gun rights advocates and other experts are firing back at Hillary Clinton’s assertion in Wednesday’s presidential debate that she opposed the 2008 U.S. Supreme Court decision on gun rights because the court failed to protect toddlers from getting access to firearms.
The issue was raised early in the debate as part of a wider discussion on how Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump view the Supreme Court. Moderator Chris Wallace asked pointed questions of both candidates on the Second Amendment, and he specifically asked Clinton about why she was critical of the 2008 decision in District of Columbia v. Heller.
“Secretary Clinton, you said last year, let me quote, ‘The Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment.’ And now, in fact, in the 2008 Heller case, the court ruled that there is a constitutional right to bear arms, but a right that is reasonably limited. Those were the words of the Judge Antonin Scalia who wrote the decision. What’s wrong with that?” asked Wallace.
After stating she respected the right of individuals to own firearms, Clinton addressed the Heller decision.
“You mentioned the Heller decision. And what I was saying that you referenced, Chris, was that I disagreed with the way the court applied the Second Amendment in that case, because what the District of Columbia was trying to do was to protect toddlers from guns and so they wanted people with guns to safely store them,” said Clinton.
Gun Owners of America Executive Director Larry Pratt was stunned by that answer.

The United States Of Refugees
Common associations with the Cornhusker state include: row crops, silos, college football, Warren Buffet, and wholesome, earnest Americana.
Now try this one: Refugee Capital of the United States.
So far this year, the City of Omaha has settled over 900 people fleeing war, persecution, and disaster around the world. That may be a small figure relative to the estimated 21.3 million refugees worldwide (or relative to the population of Omaha, for that matter, which is roughly 434,000). But it’s still higher than the number of refugees resettled in Los Angeles and New York City combined.
That disproportionate hospitality extends across the entire state, where over 1,300 refugees have found new homes this year. That may not be much compared to the resettlement statistics in larger states, like California, Texas, and New York. But given Nebraska’s population of fewer than 2 million, on a per person basis, this makes the state the most welcoming of refugees in the nation. For every 100,000 residents, Nebraska resettled roughly 71 refugees in 2016. By the same measure, California welcomed fewer than 18.
If these figures don’t jibe with your understanding of where refugees live in the United States, that might be because you’ve been following this year’s presidential election. When Donald Trump claims that we “have no documentation” about the “Trojan horse” refugees who live in this country, and when Republican governors across the country insist that they will not abide Syrian refugees resettling within their borders, they not only raise suspicions about some of the world’s most vulnerable people, they fundamentally mischaracterize what may be the most complex human relocation system on the planet.

Widespread cyberattack takes down sites worldwide
A number of popular websites like Twitter and Netflix went down for some users on Friday in a massive cyberattack with international reach.
Affected sites included Twitter (TWTR, Tech30), Etsy (ETSY), Github, Vox, Spotify, Airbnb, Netflix(NFLX, Tech30) and Reddit.
Dyn, which manages website domains and routes internet traffic, experienced two distributed denial of service attacks on its DNS servers. A DDoS attack is an attempt to flood a website with so much traffic that it impairs normal service.
"If you take out one of these DNS service providers, you can disrupt a large number of popular online services, which is exactly what we're seeing today," said Jeremiah Grossman, chief of security strategy at cybersecurity startup SentinelOne.
The massive outage drew the attention of the FBI which said Friday that it was "investigating all potential causes" of the attack.
Earlier Friday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the Department of Homeland Security was "monitoring" it.

VA extends deadline for seeking Gulf War illness benefits to 2021
WASHINGTON – For the next five years, veterans will have an easier time seeking benefits for illnesses linked to service in the Gulf War because of an extension issued Monday by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Since 1994, the VA has automatically presumed a connection from Gulf War service, which included a toxic environment of oil fires and chemical weapons, to an increased risk for several illnesses. The connection enables veterans to receive a disability rating and benefits more quickly.
But the presumed connection and the ability to seek benefits was set to expire at the end of this year, after being extended four times previously. Effective Monday, the VA extended it a fifth time, to Dec. 31, 2021.
“This end date creates such an anxiety among the Gulf War veterans that gets so high as that deadline approaches,” said James Bunker, the executive director of the National Gulf War Resource Center in Topeka, Kansas. “[Secretary Bob] McDonald promised us the beginning of this year that this extension would happen.”

Hurricane Matthew unearths huge prehistoric shark tooth
Hurricane Matthew unearthed an exciting artifact for one Virginia couple. Nat Campbell and his wife Peggy were on vacation at North Myrtle Beach in South Carolina and stumbled across a prehistoric shark tooth.
“We had been there maybe 15 minutes, standing in ankle deep water and all of a sudden I looked to my left and within two feet I saw this shark’s tooth, which I thought it was a shark’s tooth but I’ve never seen anything that large," Campbell said. “My wife though it was a rock. And I reached over and picked it up and I saw the serrated edges so I knew then that it was a big shark’s tooth, but I had no idea it was a Megalodon.”
Campbell and his wife took the tooth to Ripley’s Aquarium in South Carolina and spoke with Brady Stoever, an aquarist who told them it was no ordinary tooth; it was likely “millions of years old.” Turns out, it came from what used to be the world’s largest shark.

General's guilty plea in leak probe fuels double-standard claims by Clinton critics
The Justice Department is facing new allegations of a double-standard in the wake of a retired four-star general pleading guilty to misleading FBI investigators in a leak probe -- after the bureau opted not to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton over her email controversy.
The cases are not related, though both pertain to the handling of classified information. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump invoked the plea entered by retired Gen. James Cartwright during Wednesday night's debate to suggest Clinton enjoyed different treatment.
“We have a great general, four-star general, today you read it in all of the papers, going to potentially serve five years in jail for lying to the FBI. One lie. She's lied hundreds of times to the people, to Congress, and to the FBI. He's going to probably go to jail. This is a four-star general,” Trump said.

Rising voter fraud concerns in Texas prompt $5,000 tip hotline
Texas Secretary of State Carlos Cascos at the Tarrant County Elections Administration office Monday talking about what voters need to know when they vote this November. pmoseley@star-telegram.com
As more and more Texans turn to mail-in ballots to cast their votes in presidential elections, concerns continue to grow over how secure the process is.
The ballots — geared to make it possible for overseas residents, people in the military and senior citizens to make their vote count — are now at the heart of a growing controversy about voter fraud, even prompting an “integrity tip hotline,” because they allow people to vote from their homes without any ID or verification of identity.
State officials have been in Tarrant County investigating an issue with mail-in ballots from this year’s primary election, but some say the problem with these ballots goes deeper than that. At issue are concerns about “vote harvesting,” in which people fill out and return other people’s ballots.

3rd Debate - Smooth – smiling Hillary appeared paranoid – arrogant – conspiratoria
In the third debate - smiling and smooth Hillary’s corruption, false attacks, misleading statements and now Russian paranoia where revealed in Technicolor
Trump soared, stayed mostly on focus, responded to Hillary’s endless low ball attacks with gut punches that worked again and again.
Trump shared lots of details regarding his vision for health care, the economy, and jobs, dealing with the Middle East and ISIS, the Supreme Court, 2nd amendment, right to life, on and on. Fox moderator Chris Wallace asked the loaded questions that truly painted Trump and Hillary worlds apart. If anyone was confused as to where both candidates stood before last night, they shouldn’t be now.
I was thrilled that Trump and Wallace brought up various forms of Hillary corruption, the WIKI leaks, emails, her corrupt foundation, letting the people of Haiti down and statements revealed in speech transcripts Hillary had given for big bucks, where she wanted and planned for open borders and open trade.

Arkansas Reporter Leslie Milwee Bill Clinton Sexual Assault
Leslie Milwee, a former news reporter with KLMN-TV in Arkansas, accused Bill Clinton of sexually assaulting her three times in a studio editing room in 1980.
According to Breitbart, Milwee — then known as Leslie Derrick — first met the then-Arkansas governor while covering the “Cuban Refugee Crisis” in 1980, during which she interviewed “Clinton about 20 times at various public events” and “inside the KLMN station.”
Before the alleged assaults, Milwee says Clinton attempted to woo her with several “inappropriate gestures” and encounters.
In one alleged encounter, Clinton took Milwee’s reporter notebook and wrote his name above hers in the ledger.

Dive team searches for leads in cold case
Twenty-four years ago Herman “Dolly” Callahan was found shot dead in the breezeway of his home off Route 404 in Queen Anne, but the sheriff’s office hasn’t given up on the unsolved case, said Lt. Dale Patrick.
Over the years, the sheriff's office has tried different methods to generate new leads. Information and photos from the case were added to the sheriff’s office website; a copy of the case was sent to the Maryland State Police Cold Case Unit for review; several videos were filmed and shown on “Queen Anne’s Most Wanted” cable TV show, including an interview of the victim’s daughter; fliers and posters were distributed in the area; and the case was added to Fox Television’s “America’s Most Wanted” website.
Detectives got the idea it might be good to search the river, so the sheriff's office contacted MSP and asked for assistance, Patrick said. Wednesday's effort was in response to that request.
The dive team took inflatable rafts out in the river and divers searched the bottom of the river by hand, Patrick said.

Hillary Clinton's IRS likely to single out Republican critics
Use of the agency against Republican critics likely will persist
Imagine: What if the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) singled out hundreds of grassroots citizens groups across the nation and subjected them to ill treatment because of their political beliefs and values, mainly in opposition to the president of the United States? And imagine if that president ordered an investigation of the scandal and the lead attorney was a maximum donor to the president’s political campaigns. And then imagine if the president appointed as IRS commissioner to “clean up” the scandal someone who was a . maximum donor to the president’s political campaigns. Can you imagine such a thing? The watchdogs in Congress and the media would never allow such clear partisanship to rule the IRS, right?
But that is exactly the situation we have watched unfold over the past three years, since the Treasury inspector general for tax administration (TIGTA) confirmed that the IRS had, indeed, targeted conservative groups — hundreds of them — for singular mistreatment and abuse. The Department of Justice attorney charged with “investigating” the targeting was Barbara Bosserman, an individual who had contributed the maximum to President Obama’s political campaigns.
And what about IRS Commissioner John Koskinen? He is yet another maximum Democratic donor. Since 1997, Mr. Koskinen has contributed $51,550 to the Democratic National Committee, various Democratic congressional and Senate candidates and the presidential campaigns of John Kerry, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Counties' plans to cut water pollution prove 'rain tax' was unnecessary, Hogan says
But advocates for the environment said the efforts proposed by the state's 10 largest jurisdictions are inadequate to the job of restoring the estuary.
Gov. Larry Hogan called the plans from Baltimore and the nine largest counties "innovative," and said they prove that the stormwater fee derided as the "rain tax" was unnecessary.
Hogan signed a law last year that gave jurisdictions the option not to collect it.
"Today's news further illustrates what many Marylanders and local officials have already known for years: the state does not need to impose yet another burdensome tax on homeowners and job creators in order to successfully manage stormwater runoff," Hogan said in a statement.
