Headquarters Live Fails, I Know, Bring In Another Failing Business, The Daily Times

You heard me right. The failing Daily Times will once again be downsizing and moving into the old Fire Station 16. BUT WAIT!

Is it LEGAL? Has Boy Mayor Jake Day reviewed the formal contract between the City and the Owners of the property. 

My guess, when the taxpayers were forced to sell the property for pennies on the dollar, the only way they could keep Joe Albero from buying it was to set rules as to what you could put in that building and a Newspaper wasn't one of them. 

So much for Paying It Forward and doing what's right for the community. That is, unless you FAIL financially. The Owners have tried every possible angle to get a liquor license in that place and that too is illegal, according to the original agreement when the property, (once again) was sold for pennies on the dollar. 

The biggest question is, just how long will taxpayers continue to allow elected officials to LIE to you and SCREW you? 

Beaver Run Update

I want to thank everyone for sharing this post and all the support that we have received on Hayden's behalf. After contacting the child advocate this amazing man accomplished in a few hours what we as parents could not in 3 weeks. The boys have been transferred out of my daughters class and the school is attempting to find another bus that may be able to transport my daughter. We will still be meeting with the BOE tomorrow to voice our concerns about how this situation was handled. I would also still like to speak with the news about this man who helped us if given the permission by him so other parents are aware this compassionate soul exists in our community and truly does have the best intentions of our children in mind.

A Viewer Writes: Beaver Run

On April 18th at beaver run school my daughter was on the playground playing when she was being chased by 2 boys. She fell to the ground where one boy held her down and the other boy dry humped her, then they switched and the other boy repeated the same actions while my daughter was trying to get away. The other girls on the playground saw what was happening and ran to tell haydens teacher who came and saw what was going on. The boys were sent home for the day.

That is what the school deemed proper punishment for 2 seven year old boys who molested my daughter got.

We asked that they be at least changed classes because my daughter said she felt so embarrass that they were still in the same class. The worthless principal Mr twilley assured us that "measures" have been taken that they will not sit near eachother in class or talk to her.

That's not good enough if that were to happen as an adult they would be in jail. Would you want to look at someone that did that to you every day?

My husband had called the school on several occasions and even the board of education who would either "be busy" or give him the run around.

Today they deemed at a meeting the boys would stay in the same class

Today they were sat in the same seat as my daughter on the bus.

This is unacceptable.

What would you do if it was your daughter?

BEWARE: KITTEN KILLER FINDS THEM ON CRAIGSLIST UPDATE, New Recent Image

Dover, DE (USA)

This guy just got out of jail after being committed for torturing/killing 19 cats in NJ. He is now in Delaware and several people on Facebook have said that they have already re-homed kittens with him. Please contact the Office of Animal Welfare (or call the cops – it is against the terms of his release!!) if he contacts or has contacted you about a cat or kitten.

Anthony Appolonia! He also goes by the names A. Smith and Michael Racanelli and lives in Dover near the Air Force Base.

His main means of transportation is DART and he will have you meet him somewhere along their route. He tells people that he has anxiety among other issues and says that his doctor suggested having a cat would be good therapy for him. He will even offer to pay a small re-homing fee.

He was convicted in the state of NJ for killing 19 cats!!! He is currently under investigation here in Delaware for the same thing. If he contacts you, please report him to the OAW.

Question Of The Day 5-3-17

The Big 100 Myth

By Thornton Crowe

Mainstream Media and Liberals are making big hoopla over the first 100 days as if this is indicative of presidential success, but is it? Actual history would beg to differ.

Starting in 1933 with Franklin D. Roosevelt, this myth has continued throughout the decades as some kind of marker that every president must hit; however, the fact is, FDR's first 100 was largely overturned by the Supreme Court within his first term. This is the very reason why during his second term, he attempted his court packing - a move that fell flat and garnered much criticism.

History proves most of the First New Deal (and most of the Second New Deal) was overturned because it was unconstitutional; some initiatives came back but they were watered down version and largely ineffectual as many historians (and economists) will verify the New Deal actually extended the Great Depression an additional decade due to the on again/off again temporary employment offered by government projects. Very little had staying power which is what's need to build a healthy economy.

Like with most urban legends, the first 100 day marker was built on a misperception of what actually happened during FDR's first three months.

How's Trump Really Doing...

Click to Enlarge

Unlike FDR, President Trump has been madly successful in his first 100. However, even with these fiscally sound achievements because healthcare and Border Wall haven't passed yet, the Media is having a field day, claiming he's somehow let us down and is a liar.

In reality, healthcare lays squarely on Paul Ryan's shoulders because the President doesn't control Congress; the Speaker is in charge of that negligent band of impotents. Second, regarding the Wall, its been funded since 2006 but everyone inside the Beltway has forgotten this fact, including our buddy Ryan. Surely, the Trump Administration is looking for ways to unlock those funds and put them towards what they were intended in spite of the Speaker.

Click to Enlarge

All things considered - his enemies being everyone in the Democrat party, a lot of Republican establishment goons and the Media - Trump's first 100 has produced some stunning changes that many Americans have already begun to feel in their wallets and attitudes. Consumer confidence is up higher than it's been since 2001, the Tax Plan he proposes will bring more money to Middle America than we've had since Reagan's in 1982 and Wall Street has responded in kind. He's done this largely by dialing back on a lot of the business-raping regulations from the Obama era and started the wheels moving again in American Industry.

Click to Enlarge

While his attempts to keep us safe via travel bans and monetary sanctions on sanctuary cities, have been temporarily halted by judicial activists in the Nineth Circuit, once on the Supreme Court level, those injunctions will be swiftly overturned. Why? Because both Executive Orders are within Presidential Purview and no judge can eradicate the president's abilities to govern as long as its within the scope of the US Constitution.

Additionally, Liberals would have you believe some fable that his initiatives will somehow bring about the end of the earth. Yet in spite of their cautionary tale of foreboding woe, since he took office, the sun still comes up in the East and sets in the West everyday without fail. Therefore, all the hysterical hyperbole has done nothing but make the Democrat Party look ridiculously irrelevant and out of touch with mainstream America.

The Real Problem..

Simply put, President Trump is here for the People. This thought terrifies Liberals and they've shown this fear through their behaviors since his election (as well as before.) He truly believes to his inner core in the America First policy. Apparently, he's not alone because 80% of the public agrees and wants him to succeed!

Bottom line: President Trump remembers who answers to: We the People.

How say you?

A Viewer Writes: West Salisbury Robberies

There have been a number of robberies in the West Salisbury area over the past few days. (West Pemberton, West Nithsdale, etc) and none of these cases have made the news. One house was robbed today in broad daylight, one house was robbed around 1:30 am yesterday morning, and a 92 year old woman was raped during a recent home invasion. Please encourage your readers who live in the normally safe west side (or in any part of Salisbury, for that matter) to be vigilant and keep their eyes open for a white panel van that may be cruising around looking for targets. And please keep the victims and families in your prayers during this difficult time.

** POLICE APPREHEND FELONY FUGITIVE FROM WICOMICO COUNTY **

Leopoldo C. Diaz, 29, of Laurel, Del., was contacted by police Friday afternoon when an officer observed him driving a vehicle with an open container of alcohol in the area of Rehoboth Avenue and the Boardwalk. While in custody, officers learned that Diaz had multiple felony warrants for his arrest out of Wicomico County, Maryland.

On April 28th, 2017, just after 1:30pm, an officer was attending to a parking issued when he observed Diaz, who was driving a black GMC Terrain, pull into the parking space next to where he was standing. The officer observed two alcoholic beverages inside the vehicle, one of which was open. The officer investigated further by contacting Diaz at which time he observed that Diaz was displaying signs of alcohol impairment. 

Due to a language barrier, officers were unable to administer Diaz standardized roadside sobriety field test; however, based upon their observations, the officers took Diaz into custody and transported him to the Rehoboth Beach Police Department where further blood alcohol testing was conducted.

While at the police department, officers used fingerprint identification technology to identify Diaz and subsequently discovered that he had an active warrant out of the Wicomico County Sheriff's Department for numerous charges including felony burglary and assault.

Diaz was arrested and charged with 1 count of driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, 1 count of driving without a license, and 1 count of being a fugitive from another state. Diaz is being held without bail at the Sussex Correctional Institution pending extradition.

A Viewer Writes: Ocean City Boardwalk Bench

I purchased a memorial bench on the boardwalk in Ocean City 8 years ago through the Town of Ocean City program. Recently I got a letter from the city saying that they have decided to add a 10 year term to the bench and at the end of the 10 years (fall 2018 for me) I have to pay over $1,100.00 for 'maintenance' on the bench. In a e mail exchange with someone from the Public Works Division it was admitted that there was no such term as a part of the original purchase and this was simply being added because the city did not plan a budget for maintaining the benches.

Personally I do not believe this is true, I think the city is simply seeing this as a way to get more money from people, but obviously I have no proof so I am forced to go with what they say.

This angers me to no end. I don't understand why their supposed budget crisis is now my budget crisis.

I have e mailed the entire city council and the mayor and have gotten no response.

President Trump Statement on Obamacare Repeal House Vote 5/4/17

The Driver of This Dodge Ram Didn’t Dodge These Protestors. He Rammed them. [VIDEO]

The recent spate of protests have spawned a new go-to tactic. Even a relatively poorly attended protest can shut down roads if they’re willing to put their bodies on the line. And that’s what happened during this May Day protest in Durham. This handful of protestors successfully blocked a downtown street.

Or so they thought. The entire premise of the human roadblock is reliant on drivers who are willing to stop. When they’re not, the unwritten rules of the protest break down.

The man behind the wheel of this Dodge Ram must not have been given the rules ahead of time. He was on the road, one presumes, because he had somewhere he needed to be. And he wasn’t going to let a handful of protestors slow him down.

VIDEO: Liberal Milita Releases Training Footage… Try Not to Laugh

Free Market Shooter exposed the Redneck Revolts group “Phoenix John Brown Gun Club”. Many people observed that the anti-Trump “counter protesters” who showed up to a pro-Trump rally in Phoenix, Arizona were openly carrying what appeared to be fake firearms:

The only reference to firearms training was in their “events” page, which had an event that took place on March 5th, titled “Introduction to Tactical Firearms”. It had 46 guests. There were no upcoming events, and the prior four events had absolutely nothing to do with firearms.

Not much of a “gun club” at all, is it? Would you really be surprised to find out that many of their members didn’t even carry real firearms to an “open carry” demonstration against a Trump rally?

Escaped Md. prisoner ate from trash, drank from puddles during 6-day search

WASHINGTON — For six days, escaped prisoner David Watson rarely rested, ate food from trash cans and drank water from puddles, before he was found Wednesday hiding in a narrow drainage pipe, according to Howard County police.

Police Chief Gary Gardner said Watson had gotten out of several restraints while being transported to Clifton T. Perkins psychiatric hospital, in Jessup, Maryland, Friday, knocked over a Wicomico County Department of Corrections officer, evaded another officer, and had escaped into woods near the Perkins facility.

Watson was serving a Delaware prison sentence on an attempted murder conviction and also faces attempted murder charges in Wicomico County.

In a Thursday morning news conference, Gardner said Watson had moved often, in approximately a 2-mile radius from Perkins, during his six days on the run, hiding in the woods and a network of drainage pipes.

Watson was captured around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday, off Dorsey Run Road, in Jessup.

Maryland reacts to House passage of American Health Care Act

WASHINGTON —From members of Congress to health officials, Marylanders are reacting to the U.S. House voting to pass the American Health Care Act (H.R. 1628). The measure skirted through the House by a thin 217-213 vote, as all voting Democrats and a group of mostly moderate Republican holdouts voted no. The bill now faces an uncertain fate in the Senate, where even GOP lawmakers say major changes are likely.

U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Maryland, released a statement, saying:

“The House bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act promises to hurt tens of millions of Americans. In the rush to pass a bill – any bill – the Republicans have taken bad legislation and made it even worse. Consumers will pay more, women will pay more, families fighting mental illness and opioid misuse or abuse will pay more, seniors will pay more, Americans with pre-existing conditions will pay more – despite the President’s proclamations to the contrary –and taxpayers will pay more for this Republican rush to say ‘they got it done.’ All while Republicans provide significant tax breaks for the wealthy.
