Brzezinski Rips Hillary: 'Are We This Stupid?' Posted: 07 Jul 2016 09:00 PM PDT On Wednesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," co-host Mika Brzezinski and Bloomberg Politics Managing Editors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann described the timing of former President Bill Clinton's meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, a report in the New York Times that the Clintons were considering keeping Lynch on as AG, the FBI's decision not to pursue charges against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and President Obama campaigning with Clinton as "rotten," and not a coincidence. Brzezinski said that it was "strange" that President Obama spoke out on the case back in April. After playing a clip of Obama's statement on the case in April and October, co-host and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough said that the FBI agents working on the Clinton case were "absolutely outraged that the president of the United States tried to bigfoot the investigation all the way back in October. It was so inappropriate." Brzezinski then stated, "So, flash forward to eight day days ago when President Bill Clinton had a private meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on a tarmac in Phoenix. He made a point of getting on her plane to talk to her. Lynch says they discussed personal issues like golf and grandkids, unrelated to the investigation of Secretary Clinton, only it was followed up, days later, in the New York Times, which reported that the Clintons appeared to dangle a job in front of the attorney general."

Five panels to grill FBI on Clinton Posted: 07 Jul 2016 08:30 PM PDT Furious congressional Republicans are launching a multipronged attack against the FBI and Hillary Clinton. A total of five congressional committees will either hold hearings with high-profile law enforcement officials over the next week or have already begun inquiries to the FBI about its investigation of the former secretary of State. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) called for Clinton to be barred from the intelligence briefings typically given to presidential nominees and said that State Department officials should be subjected to administrative penalties for support of the former secretary's use of a private email server. Senate GOP leaders, meanwhile, are pushing for the FBI to release the transcript of its 3.5-hour interview with Clinton over the July Fourth weekend. More | ||||
Left-wing German Politician Who Was Raped By Migrants LIED To Police About Attackers' Nationality Posted: 07 Jul 2016 08:00 PM PDT Did not want to encourage racism A young left-wing German politician has admitted she lied to police about the racial background of three men who raped her in case it triggered reprisals against refugees in her country. Selin Gören, the national spokeswoman of the left-wing youth movement Solid, was attacked by three men in January in the city of Mannheim where she works as a refugee activist. The 24-year-old was ambushed late at night in a playground where she said she was forced to perform a sex act on her attackers. After the assault she went straight to the police – but she did not tell them the ethnic make-up of the men, that they were speaking Arabic or Farsi. Selin, aware of the backlash that migrants suffered after the events in Cologne on New Year's Eve – when hundreds of women were sexually assaulted and robbed by marauding gangs of immigrant youths – instead said she was robbed and said her attackers spoke German. Now she has told Germany's Spiegel magazine why she lied. After her initial interview at the end of January she returned to the police 12 hours later to tell them the real story. Read more | ||||

Roger Ailes hits back on Gretchen Carlson sex-harassment suit Posted: 07 Jul 2016 07:30 PM PDT Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes is making it clear he has no intention of avoiding the controversy created by the sexual harassment lawsuit filed Wednesday by former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson. In a statement issued Wednesday afternoon, Ailes responded: "Gretchen Carlson's allegations are false. This is a retaliatory suit for the network's decision not to renew her contract, which was due to the fact that her disappointingly low ratings were dragging down the afternoon lineup. When Fox News did not commence any negotiations to renew her contract, Ms. Carlson became aware that her career with the network was likely over and conveniently began to pursue a lawsuit. Ironically, Fox News provided her with more on-air opportunities over her 11 year tenure than any other employer in the industry, for which she thanked me in her recent book. This defamatory lawsuit is not only offensive, it is wholly without merit and will be defended vigorously." WND reported Fox News star Gretchen Carlson, 50, filed a sexual-harassment suit against her now-former boss, saying in the same court filing her former morning co-host Steve Doocy was guilty of the same.

JUST IN: State Department Resumes Investigation of Hillary Clinton Emails Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:42 PM PDT The State Department announced Thursday it has reopened its internal review of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server when she was Secretary of State. The move comes a day after Attorney General Loretta Lynch agreed with the recommendation by the FBI and career prosecutors that no criminal charges should be filed in relation to the incident. In April, the State Department halted its review of potential mishandling of classified materials to allow the FBI to complete its probe that began in March. More | ||||
Nancy Pelosi blows off traffic laws — to shop at shoe store! Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:30 PM PDT U.S. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is above the law, as St. Helena, California residents learned last month. Local Paul Smith wrote in to the St. Helena Star in June to describe Pelosi's recent shoe shopping excursion at a fancy boutique, prompting a response from police chief Bill Imboden about the former House Speaker's special status. "Last Saturday afternoon (June 4) I'm standing on the west side of Main Street directly across from the Hunt Avenue intersection chatting with friends. Of course, traffic was heavy in both directions," Smith wrote. "A large perfectly polished and gleaming black SUV is attempting a left turn from Hunt onto southbound Main (not easy). Suddenly blue/red lights are flashing from the windshield area of the SUV (like you would see in an official fire/police vehicle)," he continued. "I said to my friends, I've never seen that before on a 'regular' vehicle and I'd think that's illegal and dangerous. They agreed." That's when the large black SUV jolted across two lanes of traffic, lights flashing, to park in front of a fire hydrant at the high end shoe boutique Footcandy. "A St. Helena police car happens to be going northbound and pulls into the center lane and the officer starts shaking his arm and hollering at the driver of the SUV. While this goes on a man exits the SUV assisting a woman from the vehicle. She dashes off to Footcandy while he waits by the SUV in the red zone," Smith explained. The police officer then drove off without confronting the driver, he wrote. More | ||||

"Folks, Put The Pieces Together" - Judge Jeanine Rages Over Comey/Clinton Debacle Posted: 07 Jul 2016 05:00 PM PDT Never one to mince words, Judge Jeanine Pirro goes on an epic rant regarding the FBI's decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton. Judge Pirro says that given all of her experience, the case against Hillary Clinton should have been presented to a grand jury. Not only that, but Pirro cuts right to the point by saying that the entire decision reeks of favoritism. "You all know I think highly of Jim Comey, I worked with him when I was a DA and he was the United States attorney. Today however, was a very dark day for the Department of Justice, and the FBI and criminal justice at large in this nation. When Jim Comey presented facts that supported the actual indictment of Hillary Clinton and said no reasonable person would prosecute, that case defies logic." "This is a case, Hillary Clinton, that cries out for presentation to a grand jury. Political appointees including Jim Comey and Loretta Lynch should not be making this decision." "Now what we have is a country that doesn't believe in the system anymore. This case should have gone to a grand jury. Ordinary Americans should have heard this case. You've got political appointees like Jim Comey, Loretta Lynch, and someone who was beneath Loretta Lynch who is also a political appointee making this decision, reeks of favoritism." More | ||||
Carroll County wrestler ready to represent country in Olympics Posted: 07 Jul 2016 04:30 PM PDT WOODBINE, Md. —The athletes going to this year's Olympic Games are accustomed to winning, but few have done it like Carroll County native Kyle Snyder. Among his many accolades, Snyder became the youngest American to win a wrestling world title last year when he was 19. Now 20, Snyder is off to Rio for his Olympics debut. Snyder's road to the Olympics was paved through his passion for wrestling. The Woodbine native is arguably the greatest wrestler in Maryland history. He was 179-0 while wrestling for Our Lady of Good Counsel in high school. He was also undefeated in three of the toughest high school wrestling tournaments in the country, winning the Best of the East three times, the Walsh Ironman twice and the Powerade Wrestling Tournament once. Snyder is also a two-time NCAA champion at Ohio State, as he was a part of a team title in 2015 before winning an individual heavyweight crown in 2016. More | ||||
Peter Schweizer: What’s Missing from the ‘Strange Gaps’ in Hillary’s Email History? Posted: 07 Jul 2016 04:00 PM PDT Breitbart Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer, the author of the bestselling book "Clinton Cash" and narrator of the newdocumentary of the same name, writes in Politico Magazineabout the "strange gaps" in Hillary Clinton's email history and what could be missing. The past few weeks have brought a myriad of revelations about the private server Hillary Clinton used while she was secretary of state. First, there was the State Department inspector general's devastating critique of the former secretary's email practices. Then came sworn testimony of two key Clinton aides about how the server was set up and how the system worked (or didn't). Just this weekend, Clinton met with the FBI to discuss her email arrangements. And on Tuesday, FBI Director James Comey announced that the agency would not recommend criminal charges over the handling of these emails, while at the same time offering a brutal assessment of how poorly Team Clinton handled classified information. But, when it comes to Clinton's correspondence, the most basic and troubling questions still remain unanswered: Why are there gaps in Clinton's email history? Did she or her team delete emails that she should have made public? More | ||||

Back on patrol! 'CHiPS' star Erik Estrada becomes real-life police officer Posted: 07 Jul 2016 02:30 PM PDT Erik Estrada doesn't patrol California highways in tight shorts and feathered hair as a police officer on television any more, but that doesn't mean he is no longer a cop. The actor from "CHiPs" fame was sworn in as a reserve police officer in tiny St. Anthony, Idaho, on July 2, with a focus on protecting children from online predators. Estrada became a pop culture icon during the "CHiPs" heyday from 1977 to 1983, and now works as a spokesperson for the Safe Surfin' Foundation. The organization looks to educate parents, teachers, clergy, and children about internet safety while working to track down online predators. More | ||||

Clintons have different rules than the rest of us Posted: 07 Jul 2016 12:00 PM PDT The Department of Political Justice Once again, the rule of law exempts the Clintons Is it worth impairing the reputation of the FBI and the Department of Justice to save Hillary Clinton from a deserved criminal prosecution by playing word games? What has become of the rule of law — no one is beneath its protections or above its requirements — when the American public can witness a game of political musical chairs orchestrated by Bill Clinton at an airport in a bizarre ruse to remove the criminal investigation of his wife from those legally responsible for making decisions about it? How hairsplitting can the FBI be in acknowledging "extreme carelessness" while denying "gross negligence" about the same events, at the same time, and in the same respect? These are questions that now beg for answers in light of what can only be the politically motivated FBI report delivered earlier this week on the likely criminal behavior of Hillary Clinton.

Comey Vindictive' In Prosecuting Stewart, Lets Clinton Slide Posted: 07 Jul 2016 11:00 AM PDT FBI Director James Comey declined to recommend criminal charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified material Tuesday. But back in 2004, he led what legal observers call a "petty and vindictive" prosecution against interior design icon Martha Stewart for a lesser offense. Stewart served a five-month prison sentence in 2004 at the Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, West Virginia, also known as "Camp Cupcake," for lying to federal investigators about possible insider trading. In the years since the case, there is a consensus in the legal community that Comey's prosecution was overzealous and vindictive. More | ||||

FBI Director Comey Obliterated These Hillary Talking Points Posted: 07 Jul 2016 10:00 AM PDT While FBI Director James Comey announced in a surprise press conference on Tuesday that he will recommend that charges not be filed against Hillary Clinton and her aides for mishandling classified information, the Obama appointee torched talking points that the former secretary of state has used in defense of her email practices. Clinton talking point No. 1: Her emails were not classified Clinton has in the past said that her emails were not classified when they were sent and received. Her campaign has also questioned the integrity of the Intelligence Community's inspector general, which assessed last year that some of Clinton's emails were classified at the "Top Secret" level when they were originated.

Senate Dems block votes on immigration issues, including sanctuary cities Posted: 07 Jul 2016 09:53 AM PDT The Republican-controlled Senate failed Wednesday to advance efforts to change federal immigration law -- including one to cut funding to so-called sanctuary cities. The vote was 53-44, failing to get the minimum 60 votes to begin debate on the issue. The measure attempted to block congressional funding for sanctuary cities -- municipalities that ban police from cooperating with immigration officials to potentially deport illegal immigrants. Senate Republicans also failed to get enough votes to advance their proposed Kate's Law – named after Kate Steinle, who was fatally shot in July 2015, allegedly by an illegal immigrant who had multiple felony convictions and was deported several times prior to the incident. Democrats strongly opposed the measures. More | ||||

Former AG Mukasey: Hillary Violated Felony Standard of ‘Gross Negligence’ Posted: 07 Jul 2016 09:37 AM PDT On Tuesday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "On the Record," former Attorney General Michael Mukasey stated that " the laws involved don't require an intention to violate the law." And there was enough evidence to charge presumptive Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton under a standard of "gross negligence" and that people, including Gen. David Petraeus have been prosecuted "for doing far less," adding, "Anybody who's been found to do what he says the FBI found that she did would not get a security clearance." Mukasey said, "I was particularly distressed to hear that he said there was no intention to violate the law, when the laws involved don't require an intention to violate the law. One has — the felony statute has a standard of gross negligence. And he said that she showed gross negligence when he said that she was extremely careless in handling information, some of which was at the top most classification. These are emails that the State Department has said will never be disclosed. She was extremely careless in handling those. That's enough to establish gross negligence. When he said that we've never done anything like this in the past, he may have been referring to the FBI, but there are recorded cases of soldiers being prosecuted for doing far less, for mistakenly putting classified documents in somebody's desk drawer and forgetting about them. That soldier was prosecuted for a felony." More | ||||
Ocean City Elected Officials Call Paramedics’ Petition Not “In The Best Interest Of Our Taxpayers’ Posted: 07 Jul 2016 09:30 AM PDT OCEAN CITY — The Mayor and Council on Tuesday fired off a lengthy statement of opposition to the ongoing petition drive by the Ocean City's firefighter/paramedics union seeking to put a referendum for binding interest arbitration before voters this fall. In late February, the clock expired on negotiations between the town and the Career Firefighter Paramedics Association of Ocean City, or IAFF Local 4269, on a new three-year contract, resulting in the town's "last, best and final" offer essentially becoming the new contract by default. The negotiations broke down in late February over the town's unwavering position on eliminating the paramedics' long-standing 24-hour shifts. Currently, most paramedics work in 24-hour shifts, followed by 72 hours off. However, citing a variety of reasons, including potential missed calls or delayed responses, the town remains adamant about eliminating the 24-72 shift rotation in favor of an alternative 12-hour shift or some hybrid of the two. Eliminating the 24-hour shift became a point of contention in the negotiations for a new contract for the IAFF 4269, forcing the union to walk away from the bargaining table. More | ||||
Democrats vote to defend sanctuary cities, block mandatory jail time for repeat illegals Posted: 07 Jul 2016 09:23 AM PDT Senate Democrats launched filibusters Wednesday to protect sanctuary cities and to shield repeat illegal immigrants from a mandatory minimum 5-year prison sentence, calling the bills an attack on immigrants and saying GOP lawmakers were following the lead of Donald Trump. The votes came slightly more than a year after the July 1, 2015, slaying of Kate Steinle, whose death at the hands of an illegal immigrant shielded by San Francisco's sanctuary policy ignited a fierce debate over localities' laws that limit or ban police from turning immigrants over to federal deportation officers. Steinle's death drew attention to victims of illegal immigrant crime — a part of the illegal immigration debate that's often overlooked. But Democrats said the GOP's solutions of stricter penalties on repeat illegal immigrants, and punishing cities and counties for shielding illegal immigrants, were the wrong path. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid complained that jailing illegal immigrants who repeatedly sneak into the U.S. after being deported would end up overcrowding American prisons, and would cost billions of dollars.

Mob of Somalian Refugee Men Terrorize Minnesota Neighborhood Posted: 07 Jul 2016 09:15 AM PDT It happened in an upscale Minneapolis neighborhood near Lake Calhoun last week. A mob of about 20 to 30 young Somalian refugee men came parading through the neighborhood about 9:30 Monday morning, making terroristic threats. The men stopped in front of one woman's house, and the ugly comments turned to threats. "They were screaming at the house that they were going to kidnap you and they were going to rape you," one Minneapolis resident told ABC5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. "It was a very traumatizing experience." The neighbors told the news media on Thursday that the Somali men have been harassing them throughout the week, but Monday was the most violent and scary. They reported the men were driving onto the sidewalk and lawns, shooting off bottle rockets and screaming. One resident said, "The entire neighborhood is up in arms." More | ||||
Posted: 07 Jul 2016 09:07 AM PDT The activist group leading the charge to enact a $12 minimum wage in Maine pays its workers less than that amount. The Maine People's Alliance wants Maine's minimum wage to increase from $7.50 to $12 an hour, a 60 percent hike. The group posted an advertisement on Craigslist hoping to recruit canvassers and community organizers to "Work toward a fair minimum wage for Maine." Prospective candidates must be willing to work about 20 hours a week for a starting wage of $429 every two weeks, which works out to about $10 an hour. "The Phone Canvasser/Organizers are responsible for acting as a communications liaison between MPA and our members, and will engage in grassroots fundraising, member development, and voter education," the post says. The group highlights numerous side-benefits of the position in question in the post. More | ||||
Dem AGs Accused of Flouting Public Records Laws Posted: 07 Jul 2016 09:00 AM PDT A conservative legal group is accusing state Democratic officials of conspiring to flout public records laws in order to keep secret details of a campaign to bring racketeering charges against climate policy dissenters. Democratic attorneys general led by New York's Eric Schneiderman are seeking to block efforts to obtain documents about their efforts by invoking an overly broad claim to secrecy in ongoing legal proceedings, according to the Energy and Environment (E&E) Legal Institute. "These activist AGs are trying to write themselves out from freedom of information laws their legislatures have written them into," E&E senior legal fellow Chris Horner said in a Wednesday statement. According to Horner, "they are hiding behavior that seems to be precisely the sort of abuse lawmakers sought to expose to sunlight when deciding to cover their states' chief law enforcement officers under FOIA laws, particularly their use of nearly limitless powers to chill opposition and damage political opponents." Schneiderman and his team of state AGs have pursued a legal campaign against oil giant ExxonMobil since last year. They allege that the company misrepresented the dangers of climate change to its investors and the public, and enlisted nonprofit advocacy groups to advance their alleged fraud. More | ||||

James Comey Once Indicted A Man For A 21-Word Email Posted: 07 Jul 2016 08:45 AM PDT In April, 2003, investment banker Frank Quattrone was indicted on charges of obstruction of justice by then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York James Comey for one email sent to employees. Quattrone voiced his discontent with Comey's recent announcement regarding Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's personal email server. Comey is now the director of the FBI.Quattrone was the subject of a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission probe into his dealings at Credit Suisse First Boston, where he allegedly "doled out hot stock offerings" to his friends. Quattrone hosted initial public offerings for companies like Amazon and Cisco in the late 90s, and his activity led to investigation at the height of the tech bubble. Leading the charge of the investigation was Comey, then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Comey charged Quattrone for a one sentence email in which he "advised colleagues in late 2000 to destroy documents while regulators were investigating Wall Street investment banks" for the way they shared their "lucrative initial public offerings."

County Denies Solar Developer’s Tax Abatement Request Posted: 07 Jul 2016 08:30 AM PDT SNOW HILL – County officials voted to deny a request for a tax abatement from a solar company, citing the fact that the project wouldn't bring many jobs to the area. The Worcester County Commissioners agreed not to grant the tax abatement request presented by Byron Crawford of Longview Solar. Crawford had been seeking an 80-percent personal property tax abatement from the county. "As much as I value solar energy, I don't feel this is the right fit for our county," Commissioner Chip Bertino said. Crawford first approached the commissioners in June to ask for a tax break from the county. He said Longview Solar had two facilities planned, one in Berlin on Libertytown Road and another in Snow Hill on Public Landing Road. According to Crawford, the property owners who are willing to lease the company their land will use the proceeds of those leases to supplement their farming incomes. More | ||||

This Top Contender Just Dropped Out of the Trump VP Sweepstakes Posted: 07 Jul 2016 08:15 AM PDT Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, a possible running mate on the GOP ticket, has told presumptive presidential candidate Donald Trump he doesn't want the gig. In an interview with The Washington Post on Wednesday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman acknowledged withdrawing his name from consideration. On Tuesday, Corker campaigned with Trump in North Carolina. "There are people far more suited for being a candidate for vice president and I think I'm far more suited for other types of things," Corker told the newspaper. "It's a highly political job and that's not who I am," Corker added. "We had a very open conversation about that and, actually, we have been very candid about it from the very beginning of our meetings. I left there feeling very good about him as a person but also realized that at age 63, I know the things I'm good at doing and knowing what a candidate for vice president has to do, it's just not the right thing for me and I don't think it's the right thing for them."

Mexico's Supreme Court Rejects Legalization of Abortion Posted: 07 Jul 2016 08:00 AM PDT The Mexican Supreme Court has rejected the legalization of abortion, according to the Latin American news website telesurtv.net and other media outlets. "The court voted 3-1 against a move to pave the way for on-demand abortion access, rejecting a request to declare unconstitutional two pieces of legislation that effectively outlaw abortion, limiting access to specific circumstances of pregnancy endangering the woman's life or cases of rape," the article states. According to current law, women who have an illegal abortion could be prosecuted. "Supreme Court Justice Arturo Zaldivar, who championed the initiative, argued that current legislation around reproductive rights represents 'real discrimination against women's health,'" the article states.

Baltimore saw steep fall in police numbers as murder rate soared Posted: 07 Jul 2016 07:53 AM PDT (Reuters) - Already beset by a public outcry over the high-profile death of a black man in police custody and a rising murder rate, Baltimore's police department is facing another headache: it's shrinking fast. The number of uniformed officers in the mid-Atlantic city fell 6.1 percent last year and has shrunk by even more in the first half of this year, according to police data seen by Reuters and not previously reported. The fall in 2015 was the biggest decline in police numbers among nine comparably-sized U.S. cities reviewed by Reuters. The police force in Detroit and El Paso shrank by 4.9 percent and 4.3 percent, respectively, while Denver and Las Vegas saw increases of over 5 percent. (Graphic: http://tmsnrt.rs/28SL0kK) The reasons for the fall are unclear, but it comes at a difficult time when the number of murders and other violent crimes have risen sharply in Baltimore and many other U.S. cities.

DNC Readies Warning On "Trumpocalypse" Posted: 07 Jul 2016 07:45 AM PDT The Democratic Party's plan to crash this month's Republican National Convention is heavy on gimmicks and stunts meant to highlight a possible "Trumpocalypse," as well as to ridicule the presumptive GOP candidate's purported spray tan, tiny fingers, and dog whistle proclivities. The Democratic National Committee's "Counter Convention Plan Sketch"covers 22 pages and outlines the party's activities in Cleveland, where the Republican convention begins July 18. Democratic operatives will launch their operation a week earlier, on July 11, to coincide with the opening of the RNC's summer meeting. A copy of the plan was obtained by the hacker "Guccifer 2.0," who breached party servers and made off with DNC financial records, e-mails, research reports, and other documents. In e-mails to TSG, "Guccifer 2.0" has claimed to be a Romanian "hacktivist," though security researchers who have examined the DNC breach have said that the infiltration appears to be the work of a Russian espionage unit.

White Teacher Gets $45,000 In Reverse Discrimination Suit Posted: 07 Jul 2016 07:37 AM PDT A white school teacher in New Jersey has settled a discrimination lawsuit with her public school district employer for $45,000 — and a promotion. The teacher-plaintiff is Renee Marie Irwin, reports New Jersey radio station WKXW. The main defendant in the lawsuit is the Pleasantville Board of Education in Pleasantville, a town of 20,755 people just west of Atlantic City. Irwin, who began her Pleasantville teaching career in 1997, claimed that school district officials passed over her application to become an assistant principal for at least a decade, giving the position to "less qualified African-American teacher(s)" instead.

Troopers Arrest Man for Sexual Solicitation Posted: 07 Jul 2016 07:07 AM PDT Pike Creek - Delaware State Police have arrested a 34 year old man after he solicited a 16 year old teen in an incident that occurred in Pike Creek early yesterday morning. The incident occurred at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 6, 2016, as Brian R. Budd, 34, of Wilmington, contacted a 16 year old Wilmington male via text and advised him that he wanted to introduce him to a 20 year old female. The male victim, who is an acquaintance of Budd's, agreed to the meeting and responded to the rear of the Shops of Limestone Hills, Wilmington. It was at this point that Brian Budd appeared from a wood line. When the victim asked Brian Budd where the female was that he was supposed to meet, Budd discreetly sent a text to the victim's phone pretending to be the female. The text requested that the victim allow Budd to perform a sexual act on him. The victim then contacted 9-1-1. Brian Budd was taken into custody at the scene and transported to Troop 2 where he was charged with Sexual Solicitation of a Child under 18 to Engage in a Prohibited Sexual Act. He was arraigned at JP Court 2 and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution for lack of $50,000.00 cash bond. Due to the sensitive nature of this incident and to protect the identity of the victim, specific details will not be released. If any individual feels that they have been a victim of similar incidents involving Brian Budd, they are asked to contact Detective Nicholas J. Terranova at 302-365-8436. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333, via the internet at www.delaware.crimestoppersweb.com, or by sending an anonymous tip by text to 274637 (CRIMES) using the keyword "DSP." | ||||
Posted: 07 Jul 2016 07:00 AM PDT Barack Obama took Hillary Clinton on a ride aboard Air Force One Tuesday, traveling to a campaign event in North Carolina. Clinton's campaign promises to reimburse taxpayers for its portion of the $220,000 per hour operating expense, but the picture of Hillary disembarking the presidential airplane is worth the price. The trip occurred just hours after FBI Director James Comey gave every reason to indict Clinton before declining to do so. But the campaign jaunt was scheduled at least by early last week.

Jared Kushner: The Donald Trump I Know Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:53 AM PDT My father-in-law is not an anti-Semite. It's that simple, really. Donald Trump is not anti-Semitic and he's not a racist. Despite the best efforts of his political opponents and a large swath of the media to hold Donald Trump accountable for the utterances of even the most fringe of his supporters—a standard to which no other candidate is ever held—the worst that his detractors can fairly say about him is that he has been careless in retweeting imagery that can be interpreted as offensive. I read the Dana Schwartz piece that appeared on Observer.com. As always, there are thoughtful points but journalists, even those who work for me at the Observer, are not always right. While I respect her opinion, I want to show another side to explain why I disagree. In my opinion, accusations like "racist" and "anti-Semite" are being thrown around with a carelessness that risks rendering these words meaningless. If even the slightest infraction against what the speech police have deemed correct speech is instantly shouted down with taunts of "racist" then what is left to condemn the actual racists? What do we call the people who won't hire minorities or beat others up for their religion? This is not idle philosophy to me. I am the grandson of Holocaust survivors. On December 7, 1941—Pearl Harbor Day—the Nazis surrounded the ghetto of Novogroduk, and sorted the residents into two lines: those selected to die were put on the right; those who would live were put on the left.

Maryland Provides Funding for Life-Saving Body Armor Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:45 AM PDT 15 Agencies Receive $49,000 in State Funding ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Larry Hogan today announced that local law enforcement agencies representing every region of Maryland will be receiving state funding to purchase body armor. "Our brave men and women in uniform go to work every single day facing unknown and often deadly challenges," said Governor Larry Hogan. "Making sure they have the resources needed to get the job done and then get home safely to their families each night is the least we can do for those who do so much for all of us." "Illegal firearms are a significant threat to police officers," said Glenn Fueston, executive director of the Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention. "In the past three decades here in the United States, protective body armor has saved the lives of more than 3,000 police officers. Body armor is critical safety equipment for our law enforcement and corrections officers." Funding for the purchase of new or replacement body armor became available on July 1, 2016. Each year, the Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention awards body armor grants to different law enforcement agencies. Funding is given to agencies that did not receive a grant the year before. This year, the following jurisdictions will be funded. Click 'Read More' below to see which county received funds | ||||
Trump: ‘Guilty as Hell’ Hillary ‘Will Pay for Her Sins on Nov. 8’ Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:37 AM PDT Donald J. Trump, the presumptive 2016 GOP presidential nominee, told Breitbart News exclusively on Wednesday that his Democratic counterpart presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton is "guilty as hell" over the email scandal. And Trump says the voters will ensure that Clinton "will pay for her sins" by rejecting her at the ballot box. "It's a totally rigged system," Trump said when asked to react to the news that FBI director James Comey announced that the bureau would not be recommending charges against Clinton on Tuesday. "She was guilty as hell. She's guilty as can be. You look at what went on and it's just point after point after point where she's guilty, including the missing 30,000 emails. 30,000 emails were wiped clean! The server, there's so many other aspects on which she's guilty—and there's so many other people who were guilty for far less. This is a tremendous miscarriage of justice." More | ||||
Rawlings-Blake offers support to Baton Rouge mayor Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:30 AM PDT BALTIMORE —The mayor of Baltimore offered help Wednesday to the mayor of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where a police officer fatally shot a man Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake faced protests and unrest a year ago in the wake of the police in-custody death of Freddie Gray. Rawlings-Blake knows the challenge of dealing with the backlash of a controversial death at the hands of police. Her handling of the demonstrations and unrest in Baltimore last April made her the target of intense criticism, and might have cost her her political career. A mayoral spokesman said Rawlings-Blake offered support to Baton Rouge Mayor Kip Holden: "Mayor Rawlings-Blake reached out to Mayor Holden in Baton Rouge this morning to offer her support and to tell him that she is thinking of his city during this very difficult time. She has a strong history of being supportive of other mayors during difficult situations during her tenure as mayor and as the leader of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, most recently standing with mayors across the country as they supported Mayor Buddy Dyer in Orlando following the massacre at Pulse nightclub."

Rudy Giuliani Reveals Why Hillary Clinton Still Might Face Criminal Charges Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:23 AM PDT "If Trump should win ..." On Tuesday morning, FBI Director James Comey reported the findings of the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's handling of classified emails on her personal email servers. While Comey called Clinton's decision to maintain private email servers and to send and receive some 110 emails containing classified information "extremely careless," he ultimately decided not to recommend to Attorney General Loretta Lynch that criminal charges be filed against the Democratic presidential candidate. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a former prosecutor himself, told Fox News he is "so disappointed" in Comey's decision. "She violated 18 USC section 793," Giuliani concluded. Giuliani, however, said the case is still not closed. "Now the interesting thing is the statute of limitations will not have run out on this," the former New York mayor noted. More | ||||
Feds Open Civil Rights Investigation In Louisiana Shooting Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:15 AM PDT BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- In a swift move by authorities to keep tensions from boiling over, the U.S. Justice Department launched a civil rights investigation Wednesday into the video-recorded killing of a black man who was shot as he scuffled with two white police officers on the pavement outside a convenience store. A law enforcement official said a gun was taken from 37-year-old Alton Sterling after he was killed early Tuesday in the parking lot where he regularly sold homemade music CDs from a folding table. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. It was not clear from the murky cellphone footage whether Sterling had the gun in his hand or was reaching for it when he was shot. A witness said he saw police pull a gun from Sterling's pocket after the shooting. The shooting in the Louisiana capital - and shocking videos that found their way all over the internet - set off angry protests in the city's black community and brought calls for an outside investigation. It came at a time when law enforcement officers across the country are under close scrutiny over what some see as indiscriminate use of deadly force against blacks. More | ||||
Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:07 AM PDT By Thornton Crowe Well, it seems Hillary Clinton is now working diligently to romance Bernie's kids with promises of sugar plums fairies and free tuition dancing in their heads. Even with Sanders falling back, the meme is still ringing like a loud bell! And millennials may or may not fall for it. Are you going to be seduced by the fancy new prizes and tons of freebies? Let's just go on a little walk of reality. I know, those momentary fleeting seconds of reality are always "Debbie Downers" but seriously, the promise of Nirvana is usually a bait and switch that are simply illegal in the really real world but in political circles, the ruse is perfectly acceptable. Is she sincere? Given our recent revelations regarding her credibility, I would be highly suspicious, if not, downright cynical! Old adage: It's never, ever truly free... Free college is never free and someone always pay. I recall when France raised their taxation on their 'rich' the wealthy simply moved out of the country. Will they do the same here? We don't know... As for Clinton's promises to her new victims, her history call it all hogwash! When has Clinton ever kept her promises and where are all these 'achievements' I keep hearing about but never see any proof or specifics? Her latest advert on the boob tube toots her child insurance plans from her tenure as First Lady. Where are these plans and, if they do exist, why did we need Obamacare for all if she already did this initiative successfully? Wait, was this the same scandal from the Nineties where there was a huge misstep by her committee that ended in disaster? How Democrats can re-frame things is just stunning to witness. However, she's convinced millennials and their parents are too stupid to realize the big ruse. Is she laughing at us? Sure, why not. We've proven to her, some will still vote for her regardless of the lies, scandals, mishandling and nonsense! She has every reason to laugh. We deserve it. All promises and no action is just the abbreviate slogan Donald Trump states, but it's not a pithy saying. There's real meat behind it. People can't even answer Sean Hannity's Friday Jeopardy when he asks his left-leaning talking head guests to name even one of her accomplishments. Why do they labor for an answer? Because there are no answers. Yet, the Left loves more than honey to tell us that Clinton will be pitching for the team. I call fowl! She's never pitched for anything but self-enrichment for eons, why change her horse now? So before you start applying to Harvard or Stanford, looking for Uncle Sam to pay your big bill, know this: most, if not all the Clintons' campaign bravado has all come to nothing. They don't have any intention (pesky word) of every following through with any of her big campaign talk. In fact, sadly, if you look at her record as a politician verses Trump's record as just a mere commoner, he's done more for his communities than Clinton. When the media has had their rare moments of honesty, they have relayed Trump's good deeds to many in this country, but the non-existent deeds of Clinton have now become almost urban legend. If you don't believe me, I encourage you to go see for yourself... Clinton's got a big mouth but her history ain't so hot! If I were a betting person, I'd say she'll be laughing at the millennials all the way to voting day without ever letting them know she a big scam! How say you? | ||||
I Will Not Be Attending The Tawes Festival In Crisfield This Year Posted: 07 Jul 2016 06:00 AM PDT Considering our own Governor Hogan refuses to support the Republican nomanee for President Donald Trump, I refuse to participate in any more events that include Governor Hogan and I suggest my fellow Republican Friends do the same.

If there's not going to be a revolution in this country, what better way to send a message, (especially on a local level) to RINO's that us VOTERS aren't going to put up with this crap any more. Free College in Wicomico County, even to ILLEGALS, (yes, you heard me right) with only a 2.0 grade average to boot, I think we've had just about enough of this crap.

Charles Ortel: States and Foreign Governments Investigating Clinton Foundation ‘Charity Fraud’ Posted: 07 Jul 2016 05:45 AM PDT Charles Ortel, a successful investor and independent journalist, spoke with Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon on Wednesday about the state and foreign governments investigating charity fraud at the Clinton Foundation, despite FBI Director James Comey's decision not to charge Hillary Clinton for her handling of top secret emails while she was Secretary of State. "Many month ago, I thought to myself charity fraud is a state matter. And because this is an international global charity, it's a foreign matter," said Ortel, who's spent more than 15 months researching the Clinton Foundation's public records, donor disclosure data, federal, and state-level tax filings. "Let's go after potential infractions. Let's see if there's potential illegal acts at the state level and at the foreign level," he continued. Because if we go down those avenues, the President [Obama] cannot pardon those crimes. There's no way that he can do that, neither by executive action or any other means." "And I can tell you that many states and many foreign countries are actively looking at this," Ortel said. More | ||||

But on Tuesday, FBI director James Comey revealed that the agency had found "several thousand" work-related emails Clinton had not turned over, including three that included information that had been classified at the time that they had been sent. Clinton's testimony, under questioning from committee chair Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), was as follows: | ||||

Report: House Republican Tax Plan Would Create 1.7 Million Jobs Posted: 07 Jul 2016 05:00 AM PDT Proposal would boost long-run GDP by 9.1 percent, increase wages by 7.7 percent The House Republican tax reform plan introduced by Speaker Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) would create 1.7 million jobs, increase the nation's GDP, and increase after-tax income for all Americans, according to an analysis from the Tax Foundation. The plan would simplify the tax code so that it could fit on a postcard, and lowers marginal tax rates on wage, investment, and business income. It also broadens the tax base, lowers the corporate income tax rate to 20 percent, and eliminates federal estate and gift taxes. "Our analysis finds that the House Republican tax plan would reduce federal tax revenue by $2.4 trillion over the next decade," the report states. "We estimate that the plan would boost long-run GDP by 9.1 percent. The larger economy would translate into 7.7 percent higher wages and result in 1.7 million more full-time equivalent jobs. Due to the larger economy and the broader tax base, the plan would reduce revenue on a dynamic basis by $191 over the next decade." The proposal would broaden the tax base by eliminating all itemized deductions except the mortgage interest deduction and the charitable deduction, which would raise $2.3 trillion over the next decade. The plan would also eliminate most individual credits except the Earned Income Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit, which would raise $104 billion over the next decade.
