53 Republicans Demand Firing Of Safe Schools Czar' Kevin Jennings

Fifty-three House Republicans have written President Barack Obama asking him to remove "safe schools czar" Kevin Jennings from that position.

The lawmakers accused Jennings of "pushing a pro-homosexual agenda" and said that Jennings's past writings exhibit a record that makes him unfit for the position.

"We respectfully request that you remove Kevin Jennings, the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, from your Administration," the Republicans wrote. "It is clear that Mr. Jennings lacks the appropriate qualifications and ethical standards to serve in this capacity."

Jennings has come under scrutiny from conservative personalities like talk show host Sean Hannity for his handling of an alleged incident involving underage sex, as well as Jennings's own reported personal history with drugs and alcohol — charges the GOP members echoed.

The letter was primarily assembled by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), and was joined by 52 Republican colleagues, including two members of leadership: House Republican Conference Chairman Mike Pence (Ind.) and House Republican Conference Vice Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.).

Jennings, who founded the Gay and Lesbian Independent School Teacher Network (GLISTeN), was appointed by Obama to head the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, a position Jennings assumed in July.

"Kevin Jennings cannot gain the approval of parents who want their children safe and their schools drug free," the Republican congressmen said. "You should replace him with someone who has a record of educating children in a safe and moral environment."

The Jennings controversy follows the Sept. 6 resignation of Green Jobs Czar Van Jones and the long-blocked nomination of Cass Sunstein as regulatory czar.

GUNS RECOVERED IN CARROLL COUNTY THEFT

(Westminster, MD) – State troopers have arrested one man, are searching for a second, and have recovered all the firearms stolen in a weekend theft that occurred during a teenager’s party at her home while her parents were away.

The two charged are identified as Matthew D. Olson, 23, of no fixed address, and Victor M. Eshelman, Jr., 20, of the 800-block of Muller Road, Westminster, Md. After consultation with the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office, both were charged with theft: $1,000.00 under $10,000.00.

Eshelman was arrested yesterday morning at his home. He was taken to the Carroll County Detention Center. A warrant has been issued for Olson and police continue to search for him.

The investigation began on the evening of October 11, 2009, when Maryland State Police were called to a home in the 100-block of Sullivan Road, Westminster. The investigation by Maryland State Police patrol troopers and criminal investigators determined that sometime during the night of October 10th and the early morning of October 11th, someone removed eight rifles and two black powder pistols from the home. Also stolen were video games, a gaming console, money, jewelry and knives.

The investigation revealed that during the evening of October 10th, dozens of individuals had attended a party at the home, hosted by a teenager while her parents were away. State Police investigators developed evidence indicating that Olson attended the party and removed the firearms and other items from the house. The firearms were then distributed to Eshelman and another Finksburg subject who are acquaintances of Olson.

Early on the morning of October 14th, Maryland State Police served search warrants at the homes of Eshelman and Olson, with the assistance of the Carroll County Drug Task Force, the State Police Special Tactical Assault Team Element, and the Baltimore Gun Tracing Task Force. Police recovered a stolen black powder pistol at Eshelman’s home.

Further investigation led police to a wooded area in the 1300-block of Woodland Drive, Westminster. There troopers unearthed four of the rifles and a black powder pistol that had been stolen and buried in the ground. They were .50 and .22 caliber rifles.

Information was also developed indicating other weapons had been taken to a home in Finksburg. Police went to the home yesterday and recovered a stolen AK47 assault rifle, an SKS assault rifle a 7.62 caliber rifle and a .444 caliber rifle.

All of the stolen firearms have been recovered by police. Troopers continue to search for the other items stolen from the home.

Additional arrests and charges are possible. The investigation is continuing.

Here's A Credit Card With An 79% Interest Rate

NBC San Diego found a local wine distributor who was issued a credit card with a 79.9 percent APR.

The Premier card from South Dakota's First Premier Bank is responsible for the usurous, loan shark-style rate. The station's Bob Hansen writes:

On its Web site, First Premier says it is the country's 10th largest issuer of Visa and MasterCard credit cards. The site also says it "focuses on individuals who have less than perfect credit but are actually still creditworthy."

"I think they're trying to take advantage of me," said Hageman.

Ya think?

The story says the California Attorney General can't do anything about the card because it comes from an out-of-state bank. Anyone with a Premier card would be wise to check out the fine print on their billing statements.

Woodland Ferry Out Of Service

Seaford -- The Department of Transportation (DelDOT) announces that the Woodland Ferry was taken out of service on Sunday, October 11, 2009 due to a failure with one of the thrusters. At this point the cause of the failure is not known.

The thruster will need to be removed, which requires a crane. The crane cannot operate during the upcoming wind and rain pattern forecasted for the next few days, therefore, the thruster will be removed from the ferry on Monday, October 19.

The ferry will remain out of service until the thruster can be removed and the cause of failure determined. In addition, the United States Coast Guard will need to inspect the vessel before it can be returned to operation.

DelDOT apologizes for the inconvenience to motorists.
