Reckless Driver In Salisbury

Candy Allen Bauer 
 
If you live in West Nithsdale, and this car belongs to you, then I want you to be aware that today - Friday, March 2nd - whoever was driving this vehicle of yours nearly killed myself and my two children. 

Let me explain. You know those bright red signs with the eight sides to them? Those are STOP size! When you see one of those the thing that you are supposed to do is- wait for it- STOP! Instead, whoever was driving this vehicle decided to blow through that stop sign at the end of your neighborhood, like they do every single morning, and came within inches of sideswiping my car because of it. As I'm sure you can imagine, had this car hit me going 30 plus miles an hour when it came barrelling out of your neighborhood, the outcome probably wouldn't have been pretty. Luckily I was able to swerve into the other lane and avoid a collision, but if there had been another car coming in the opposite direction the outcome would have been far different... 

If you end up injuring my children because of your total lack of regard for basic traffic laws, Heaven help you. 

So if this vehicle belongs to you, or was being driven by your negligent offspring, I want you to know that you or they have a complete and total disregard for anyone's safety, and soon all of Salisbury will know it. 

Get your act together before you kill someone!

Delaware Supreme Court overturns conviction in fatal Delaware school bathroom attack

The Delaware Supreme Court has overturned the criminally negligent homicide conviction of a teen in the beating of Amy Inita Joyner-Francis at a Wilmington high school in April 2016.

Wicomico County State's Attorney's Office Press Release: Winder Conviction

WH: ‘Senate Has Confirmed the Fewest Nominees’ Compared to Four Previous Administrations

(CNSNews) - The White House complained Tuesday that Senate Democrats have been obstructing President Donald Trump’s nominees, saying the Senate has confirmed the fewest nominees compared to the previous four administrations.

“Before taking your questions today, I want to take a moment to highlight the historic obstruction by Senate Democrats -- an issue that represents a threat to America’s interests and security. Compared to the four previous administrations, this Senate has confirmed the fewest nominees,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during the press briefing.

Sanders said the tactics of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) “have led to 73 fewer confirmations than the next closest administration.”

“Half of President Trump’s nominees are still waiting for confirmation in the Senate. The obstruction is so out of control, even some Senate Democrats believe it is inappropriate. Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, said, ‘I don't believe we should be holding nominees hostage…Enough is enough. We need people who are qualified to fill these important positions in our government,’” the press secretary said.

Pelosi Slams ICE for Arresting ‘Hard-Working, Law-Abiding,’ ‘Patriotic’ Illegals

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi today attacked the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency for arresting more than 150 illegal aliens in Northern California whom Pelosi described as “hard-working, law-abiding” and “patriotic.”

San Francisco, where Pelosi’s congressional district is located, is a “sanctuary city” that will not cooperate with the federal government in the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.

“Since Sunday, ICE deportation officers have arrested more than 150 individuals who are in violation of federal U.S. immigration laws, working on leads developed by the local field office in conjunction with the National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center (NCATC),” ICE said in a statement released Tuesday.

“About half of the individuals arrested also have criminal convictions in addition to their immigration violations, including convictions for assault/battery, crimes against children, weapons charges and DUI,” ICE said.

Pelosi described ICE’s enforcement of the immigration law in her region of the country as a “shocking abuse of law enforcement power.”

Senator: America Needs "Idiot Control," Not Gun Control

Opposes measure to increase Fed role in background checks

In an appearance on CNN Tuesday, GOP Senator John N. Kennedy (R., La.) railed against stricter gun control provisions, saying that America needs ‘idiot control’ rather than gun control.

CNN host John Berman questioned Kennedy regarding his stated opposition to legislation being considered in the Senate that would give federal agencies greater access to state records, in order to better determine the eligibility of a person to buy firearms.

The bill would offer greater federal funding to state agencies that comply, while withholding it from those that don’t.

“I don’t think we need more gun control laws,” Kennedy said.

“Not a single one?” Berman asked.

“No,” Kennedy declared. “I think we need more idiot control.”

When Berman asked Kennedy to expand on what he meant by the term ‘idiot’, the Senator stated that he was referring to violent criminals like the shooter in Parkland.

Disgraced Maryland Delegate Convicted In Bribery Case

A former Maryland state delegate has been found guilty of accepting $20,000 in bribes in exchange for voting "yes" on Prince George's County's Sunday liquor sales bill.

Michael Lynn Vaughn, a Democrat from Bowie, was charged last year with bribery and conspiracy. Federal prosecutors alleged he accepted more than $20,000 in cash bribes "influencing the performance of his official duties,'' including voting for a bill to expand alcohol sales on Sundays.

Vaughn's lawyer insisted his client accepted bundles of money believing they were campaign donations, not bribes. At the open of Vaughn's trial, his lawyer said Vaughn was "stupid'' and "unethical," but not guilty of bribery.

President Trump Asks Dianne Feinstein to Add 'Assault Weapons' Ban to School Safety Bill

President Trump asked Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to add her “assault weapons” ban to the overarching school safety bill during a bipartisan meeting with lawmakers on Wednesday.

Feinstein’s bill, which is an enhanced reintroduction of a bill she has put forward again and again, bans over 200 different firearms.

During Wednesday’s White House meeting, Trump showed support for the gun control pushed by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA). The Manchin/Toomey bill is a gun control bill that the Democrat-controlled Senate rejected on April 17, 2013. But Trump chalked that failure up to Barack Obama’s lack of leadership, and talked of using the Manchin/Toomey bill as a base to which other bills could be added.

The goal was to create a body of gun legislation, ubiquitously for the purposes of school safety.

NRA at war with Trump over 'bad policy' on guns

The National Rifle Association on Wednesday blasted President Donald Trump for his proposal to take guns away from dangerous individual even if it violates constitutional rights to due process.

Trump made the remarks during a bipartisan meeting with lawmakers at the White House to discuss safety measures in the wake of last week's mass shooting at a high school in Florida.

‘While today’s meeting made for great TV, the gun control proposals discussed would make for bad policy that would not keep our children safe,’ NRA spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said in a statement to The Hill.

‘Instead of punishing law-abiding gun owners for the acts of a deranged lunatic our leaders should pass meaningful reforms that would actually prevent future tragedies.’

BETRAYAL: Trump Says Government Should 'Take The Guns First, Go Through Due Process Second'

On Wednesday, President Trump met with Congressional Democrats and Republicans to discuss measures to bolster student security in the aftermath of the Parkland, Florida massacre. There, Trump proceeded to make an anti-Second Amendment statement so radical that it put President Obama’s gun control sermons in the shade.

“I don’t want mentally ill people to be having guns,” Trump said. He continued:

You have to do something very decisive. Number one, you can take the guns away immediately from people that you can adjudge easily are mentally ill, like this guy. You know, the police saw that he was a problem, they didn’t take any guns away. Now, that could have been policing. I think they should have taken them away anyway, whether they had the right or not. But I’ll tell you this, you have to have very strong provisions for the mentally ill.

Alexander: Democrats Don't Care About Children Unless...

While most of my "liberal" friends claim to care about young people, however misguided the expression of that "care" might sometimes be, most Democrat Party pols don't give a damn about kids — unless, of course, their caskets can be used to construct political platforms.

I could substantiate that harsh criticism based solely on the fact that, every day, Democrats support ending the lives of 2,446 children before birth — and in doing so demonstrate their utter disregard for even the most defenseless of human life.

But in this instance, I'm alluding to Democrats' statist policies, which have eroded our culture from top to bottom — including the families and especially the children who were once nourished by them. The devastating consequences play out in an endless loop of daily tragedies.

To that end, what follows are some observations in the wake of the mass murder in a Florida school by a sociopathic assailant.

What really happened in Florida..

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) protested yesterday that if Congress does not pass "gun control" legislation, a.k.a. "gun confiscation legislation," "We won't have done our job to keep America's families safe."

Fact is, Democrat policies have, for generations, been a devastating wrecking ball demolishing "America's families."

What Schumer and his Democrats never dare suggest is the fact that violence in America is primarily a cultural problem rather than a "gun problem."

They avoid that debate at all costs because it's their failed statist policies, the effluent of their so-called "Great Society" centralized social programs, that have resulted in generations of poor Americans enslaved on urban poverty plantations in every major city nationwide.

Those poverty centers are the locus of drastic cultural devolution, most notably the systemic disintegration of the American family, and particularly the eradication of fatherhood. Virtually every school shooting, and most other inner-city violence, is associated with the absence of effective fathering in the lives of young men.

“It will be dangerous to remain in the homes,” Schwartz said. “Not only may rescue not be possible, but homes will be subject to significant structural damage. We expect to lose homes during this storm. If you’re in one of those areas, you need to get out.”

Good ole', loveable, peaceful Sweden!

THIS is shocking……and warrants WIDE DISTRIBUTION and discussion.

All of Europe is falling into this trap……..and some of our politicians are strongly advocating that America should join this parade!!

Warning: The above link contains very graphic photos which are upsetting. Sweden is the canary in the coal mine for Europe.. The video does not reveal that demographic projections show that Sweden is already lost, i.e., soon the Muslim population will be the majority and Swedes will have three choices per the Koran: 1. Subjugate themselves; 2. Convert to Islam; 3. Die a cruel death. These are the only three choices in about 26 places in the Koran that an infidel has. These are the fruits of a wealthy society who reaches out to help everyone, but are stupid enough to not protect their or their children's best interests. America has been on this course and half the country is resisting President Trump's immigration initiatives.
