How's Mayor Ireton Working Out For You Salisbury?

I took the above image just moments ago, (4:00 pm) on the Wicomico River. 

FOUR years ago Mayor Jim Ireton swore he was going to clean up the River. We've had Waste Water Treatment Plant spills into the River since. We've had lift station overflows into the River and now he wants to add a $18.9 million dollar tax/fee to the taxpayers because he just cannot get the job done. 

By all means, take this opportunity to tell us in your own words just what Jim Ireton has done to keep ANY of his campaign promises he stated four years ago. I think our viewers would love to see what this part time Mayor has done to move Salisbury Forward. This should get really interesting. Pictures do NOT lie.

BREAKING NEWS: MAYOR IRETON WILL COST THE TAXPAYERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

RIGHT NOW THERE ARE ABOUT 60 FIREFIGHTERS, FIRE TRUCKS, AMBULANCES AND THE WHOLE NINE YARDS DOWN AT THE GOVERNMENT OFFICE BUILDING.

MAYOR IRETON HAS CALLED IN THE PRESS TO INTERVIEW THE FIREFIGHTERS WHO WILL DEMAND THE COUNCIL ANSWER AS TO WHY THEY HAVEN'T HIRED RICK HOPPES AS THE NEW FIRE CHIEF.

MANY ARE ON DUTY FIREFIGHTERS IN ATTENDANCE. REMEMBER LADIES & GENTLEMEN, IT WAS JIM IRETON WHO FLAT OUT REFUSED TO EVEN CONSIDER RICK HOPPES AS THE NEXT FIRE CHIEF. HE TURNED HIM DOWN.

NOW, BECAUSE HE IS UP FOR RE ELECTION AND BECAUSE JIM IRETON FEELS HE CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO DEBBIE CAMPBELL THE NIGHT BEFORE THE PRIMARY HE HAS CALLED IN ALL THE TROOPS TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE HER LOOK BAD TONIGHT.

YOU MUST GET RID OF THIS CHILDISH AND IMMATURE MAYOR AND REMEMBER, HE IS THE ONE WHO ORIGINALLY TURNED HOPPES DOWN AND FOR GOOD REASON. I ONLY WISH I COULD TELL YOU EXACTLY WHY BUT IT WOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW FOR ME TO EXPOSE IT.

I Just Received This, Believe It Or Not. 11:12 PM

Women Compelled To Register For Draft? Could Happen, Experts Say

The next time Uncle Sam comes calling, he's probably going to want you, too.

The Obama administration recently decided to lift the ban on women in combat. Legal experts and military historians say that decision has opened the door for a change in the law that currently compels only men between age 18 and 25 to register for a military draft.

Never before have women been drafted into military service. Neither the White House nor Congress are in a hurry to make them register for a future call-up.

A Readers Thoughts For The Day

O'Malley as stupid as he seems may not be that stupid. Think about it, with Democrats all they do is play smoke and mirrors, bait and switch. Gun Control is so much on every ones mind that no one is complaining loudly about anything else. Not about fuel costs, not about Gay marriage, not about couple million or more illegals becoming new Democrat voters. Why would NY, MD be so bold to do what they are doing, and O'Malley put a hint in he wanted to be President?
Because people, they are going to keep you so mad about 2nd Amendment that they will slide in the other stuff with out resistance. Then NEXT year, they will have all the sheep to finish us off. If we don't go and forcefully eject some of these politicians, then nothing will change.

Students Made To Wear Burqas – In Texas

There’s a new controversy in Texas involving the online public school curriculum called CSCOPE, which already has been the subject of heated debate and state legislative hearings.

There are reports now that students were made to wear Muslim burqas as part of their public school lessons.

CSCOPE has been facing criticism over its alleged Islamic and anti-American bias. It is a “curriculum management system” now used in 80 percent of Texas classrooms. It recently was the subject of a heated inquiry that culminated in hearings conducted by the Texas Senate Education Committee chaired by state Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston

Another Viewer Writes...

Looks like the same people that have been running and profiting from the City are donating so that the same people stay in power so they can keep making more and more money........while the rest go further down the drain.

MEMO ALLEGEDLY LEAKED FROM SOROS-BACKED ORGANIZATION SHOWS PROGRESSIVE PLAN TO ‘EVISCERATE’ CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT

North Carolina’s newly elected Republican governor Pat McCrory hasn’t been in office for even two months, and already progressive groups and their allies within North Carolina’s state Democratic party have the long knives out. That is, if a leaked memo from the progressive organization Blueprint North Carolina is to be believed. The controversial memo was first reported on by the Charlotte Observer this past Friday. The Observer reported:
A group that sent out a memo with tips on how to attack Gov. Pat McCrory and other Republican leaders exercised “bad judgment” that could jeopardize its funding, the director of a foundation that finances the group said Friday.[...]

The memo was forwarded by Stephanie Bass, then Bluprint’s communications director, to the group’s nonprofit allies. The Observer obtained a copy.

3 Construction Workers Busted In WTC Drug Ring

Three World Trade Center concrete workers were just arrested on charges they’ve been peddling drugs to other hardhats at the world’s most famous construction site, The Post has learned.

Port Authority investigators were tipped off about seven months ago that a drug ring was operating at the problem-plagued WTC site and traced it to the trio who work for Sorbara Construction of Lynbrook, LI.

A woman who answered the phone at the contractor's Lynbrook office said the company had no comment.

Early Voting Causes Electronic Fraud Concerns

WASHINGTON - Voters waited in line for hours to cast their ballots on Election Day.

Now, some claim the move to expand early voting in Maryland could lead to voter fraud.

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is pushing legislation that would expand early voting by increasing the number of early voting days and allowing residents to register on Election Day.

But one part of the bill is raising questions about online security. If it is approved, residents could request a password, use it to download an online ballot through email and mail it back to officials.

Wind Farms = Liberal Dribble

Wind Farms Will Create More Carbon Dioxide, Say Scientists
Thousands of Britain’s wind turbines will create more greenhouse gases than they save, according to potentially devastating scientific research to be published later this year.
The finding, which threatens the entire rationale of the onshore wind farm industry, will be made by Scottish government-funded researchers who devised the standard method used by developers to calculate “carbon payback time” for wind farms on peat soils.
Wind farms are typically built on upland sites, where peat soil is common. In Scotland alone, two thirds of all planned onshore wind development is on peatland. England and Wales also have large numbers of current or proposed peatland wind farms.
But peat is also a massive store of carbon, described as Europe’s equivalent of the tropical rainforest. Peat bogs contain and absorb carbon in the same way as trees and plants — but in much higher quantities.
British peatland stores at least 3.2 billion tons of carbon, making it by far the country’s most important carbon sink and among the most important in the world.
Wind farms, and the miles of new roads and tracks needed to service them, damage or destroy the peat and cause significant loss of carbon to the atmosphere, where it contributes to climate change.

Proposal To Cut Health Care Funding For Pregnant Women Sparks Sharp Opposition

The legislature’s budget analysts have proposed to phase out Medicaid coverage for pregnant women with incomes between 185% and 250% of the federal poverty line on the basis that these women will qualify for the state health exchange implemented under Obamacare.

But officials from Maryland’s $7 billion Medicaid program argue that this shift would jeopardize access to prenatal screenings and other health services that pregnant women and their babies need.

Budget analyst Simon Powell suggested reducing Medicaid coverage in his report because it would reap significant savings for the Medical Care Programs Administration. It results in a $1.5 million reduction in federal funding and another $1.5 million in reduced spending from Maryland’s general fund.

Britain’s Economic Malaise Brought Ratings Downgrade


LONDON — At the root of Moody’s decision to downgrade Britain’s credit rating is a crucial economic reality: Britain has begun to trail its peers in Europe — even bailed-out euro zone economies — when it comes to bringing down its budget deficit and making it attractive for foreigners to buy its exports.
Prime Minister David Cameron and his increasingly jittery coalition government have made deficit and debt reduction a defining priority. In December, his powerful chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, warned that an austerity program that had already resulted in the elimination of tens of thousands public-sector jobs would have to be extended for a year longer than planned, to 2018. But that same austerity program has contributed to long-term economic malaise.
