Keeping Our Feet To The Fire

It may have been cold for most people last night but we were toasty warm sitting by this incredible fire. 

We'd like to know, when is the last time you burned or sat by a fire outdoors?

US Can’t Access NSA Phone Records In California Terror Case

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government’s ability to review and analyze five years’ worth of telephone records for the married couple blamed in the deadly shootings in California lapsed just four days earlier when the National Security Agency’s controversial mass surveillance program was formally shut down.

Under a court order, those historical calling records at the NSA are now off-limits to agents running the FBI terrorism investigation even with a warrant.

Instead, under the new USA Freedom Act, authorities were able to obtain roughly two years’ worth of calling records directly from the phone companies of the married couple blamed in the attack. The period covered the entire time that the wife, Tashfeen Malik, lived in the United States, although her husband, Syed Farook, had been here much longer. She moved from Pakistan to the U.S. in July 2014 and married Farook the following month. He was born in Chicago in 1987 and raised in southern California.

Salisbury City Council Agenda & Packet For 12-7-15

City Of Salisbury Special Meeting Agenda For 12-7-15

Another Local Restaurant to Close - Vinny's

Longtime Local Restaurant to Close!

Vinny's La Roma, a restaurant staple in Salisbury for nearly four decades, plans to close on December 31:

"It is with a heavy yet happy heart that I announce my coming retirement and that La Roma will be closing at the end of the year. We have had a great run, and we appreciate the hard work and dedication of those who have made it possible all these years."

Vinny, you will be missed!

Why is it that Berlin and Cambridge thrive with locally owned restaurants, and Salisbury can't?!

BREAKING NEWS: Carla Moore GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS

Carla Moore was just sentenced to 20 years but will only serve 7.  She must also pay just over $128,000 in restitution.

Judge Sarbanes was clearly upset that Ms. Moore violated the trust of not only the council and her family, but also the trust of the Pittsville tax payers.  He went on to say that this isn't just a small theft of a few thousand dollars, this was  major theft over a very short period of time.  Hence his judgement to have her incarcerated for 7 years. 

As restitution Attorney John Phoebus presented a small farm in Pittsville owned by her father, Town President Denver Moore, that allegedly appraised at $110,000.  Salisbury News would like Pittsville residents to question, could this property be worth only $10,000?

Attorney John Phoebus stated clearly that the town council might actually might want the land and not the $110,000. This doesn't pass the smell test nor will it be questioned by the rest of the main stream  media.

Finally, councilmen George Whited sent  a letter to Judge Sarbanes asking for leniency. 

We should receive a press release from the State's Attorney's office about this case and we will post it as soon as it is received.

A Letter To The Editor 12-5-15

Editor,

The following is a copy of an email I sent to the governor of Maryland today. Hopefully many of your readers will agree with the content and draft a letter to encourage Governor Hogan to take action.

Dear Governor Hogan,

Today I read a statement from the Chief of Police to the citizens within his community. He advised them that we live in different times. Troubled times – indeed violent times. Of this there can be no doubt. This Police Chief advised his citizens that he and his officers would do everything they could to protect them and prevent the type of violence that took place in San Bernadino from occurring in their area but that any response to such an incident by his personnel would be just that……a response. He encouraged them to be vigilant, to be aware of their surroundings. He encouraged them to say something if they see something. Then he told them the most important thing he could. He told them that if they were in an area when a terrorist attack takes place they would have to be responsible for their own survival. He advised that any of the citizens had concealed carry permits should carry their weapons everywhere they were permitted to do so because they may well be the only people in a position to end the situation and limit the carnage caused by these animals. He advised all off duty police officers to carry their weapons with them everywhere.

To me this was a profound statement.

I then read a press release from Worcester Co. Sheriff Reggie Mason. His message left me with an empty feeling. He stated that he and his deputies train and will keep training and will remain vigilant to do what they can to protect our schools. But that’s all he could say. It was a sad reminder that we, the citizens of the State of Maryland, have had our God given right of self –defense stripped from us. We have been reduced to being potential victims in an increasingly dangerous world by elected officials who believe that the police can protect us from violent criminals……even while the police openly say they can’t protect us. Self-defense is an individual responsibility. An individual right endowed upon us by our creator.

Some time ago we all saw a court ruling that Maryland’s requirement for a “good and substantial reason” to be shown is unconstitutional. We saw that the states Attorney General was going to appeal the ruling. And we’ve heard no more about it. Today I appeal to you, Governor. Is The increase in risk of a terrorist attack on the innocent law abiding citizens of our state a good and substantial reason to allow us to defend ourselves? Why do we need the approval of the government to defend our families against this increasing risk. How many of our citizens will have to lose their lives to meet the threshold of “Good and Substantial reason”?

I am a law abiding citizen. I work every day. I pay my taxes. I open doors for older people. I say yes ma’am and yes sir to my elders. I’ve served my country. I’ve never been arrested. I love my wife, my children, and my grandchildren. When I stand for the pledge of allegiance my eyes well up. I am an American! I am not a criminal and I have no desire to be but it seems you are leaving me no choice. I won’t stand by and cower on the floor waiting to be shot like 75 people did in Paris. I won’t get down on my knees and wait to be shot by a terrorist. The lack of a reasonable concealed carry law and an increasingly violent world have brought me to a fork in the road. Obey the law and run the increasing risk of being caught unarmed in a terrorist attack leaving my family and myself with no way to defend ourselves or break the law and carry a firearm without a permit hoping that I’ll never have to answer for it. I’m asking you…….I’m pleading with you…..don’t leave me and countless thousands of others like me in this position. I’m asking you to sign an executive order suspending the Good and substantial reason requirement and order your Superintendent of the Maryland State Police to begin processing all concealed carry permits forthwith. A very simple action that will enable good law abiding citizens all over the state of Maryland to join the ranks of millions in other states who currently issue concealed carry permits with absolutely no horror stories such as those promised by people who oppose firearms. Without any such action more and more law abiding citizens every day will be forced to decide between obeying the current law and becoming a possible victim of violent crime and breaking the law to protect themselves and their families.

Thank You

‘Clock Boy’ Ahmed Homesick in Qatar, Wants to Come Back to Texas

Within days of demanding a total of $15 million from the City of Irving and the Irving Independent School District, “Clock Boy” Ahmed Mohamed announced in a long distance phone interview from Qatar, he is homesick and wants to come home to Texas now.

In October, Ahmed accepted a fully-funded education scholarship from the Qatar Foundation, an organization with reputed ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, over an invitation to MIT, which is among the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in the world. The family announced they would relocate to Qatar to accommodate his education, which they did.

Beware Pittsville Property Owners

Earlier today I did an article about Carla and Denver Moore. I questioned how much Denver Moore paid for the property he offered to give to the Town of Pittsville towards Carla's restitution of $128,000.00. Are you ready?

The Moore family paid $10.00 for the property. You read that right. 8363 Whitesville Road is the address, look it up. 

So let's see. He paid $10.00 for it and it was allegedly appraised for $110,000.00 . I'll leave the rest to you.
