Soros, Liberal Billionaires Meet in DC to Plan War on Trump

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 10:00 PM PST

One of the Soros' favorite causes is stoking racial division

George Soros and other far-left billionaires began a three-day conference with Democratic Party activists and leaders to plan a war against President-elect Donald Trump.

Soros, along with the other far-left billionaires who make up the "Democracy Alliance" (DA), are meeting for a three-day investors conference at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, DC.

"This is our first time to gather and talk since the cataclysm of Election Day," the conference agenda notes.

DA President Greg LaMarche, formerly Vice President and Director of U.S. Programs for the Soros-founded Open Society Foundation, held a panel discussion with "four of the most thoughtful leaders of the Progressive community" on Sunday, the first day of the conference.

SEIU International President Mary Kay Henry, Center for Community Change President Deepak Bhargava, and Demos President Heather McGhee were part of the panel along with Van Jones, a longtime Democratic activist and CNN analyst who recently suggested Donald Trump's election was due to a "white-lash."

"The 2016 election has upended much of what we thought we knew about American politics," the agenda says.

Industrial Production fell year-over-year for the 14th straight month - the longest period of contraction without a recession in 96 years. Against expectations of a small 0.2% rise in October, Industrial Production was unchanged (and manufacturing missed expectations).

This is the biggest 2 year decline in industrial production since August 2008...

Childcare costs skyrocket after minimum wage hike passes

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 08:00 PM PST

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. - Thanks to Washington voters, folks making minimum wage will soon be getting more money, but will some see that money evaporate as child care costs skyrocket?

At least one local daycare says it will pass those pay increases on to the families with kids.

We heard from one mother today who will be paying $300 more a month for childcare.

Before her phone call, it's something we hadn't thought of - and, apparently, some voters hadn't either.

Parents that bring their children to Advent Lutheran Child Center here in Spokane Valley recieved quite the shock this week when they were told that the pay increase to the workers will be coming out of their pockets.

Heidi Perry, director of Advent Child Care, explained that many parents were not happy with the idea of the cost increase. "I think there was a little bit of sticker shock. I had a lot of parents who walked into the office last night or this morning and say 'am I reading this right?' And I said yes you are."

Perry spoke with one parent who voted in favor of the initiative not realizing that it would affect child care.

Hillary Clinton looks for excuses, ignores Democratic Party failings

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 07:00 PM PST

What a difference an election makes. Hillary Clinton and her team need to decide on a brand new slogan now that "I'm with her" means you're an unemployed sycophant.

Having been crushed by Donald Trump making presidential elections great again, Hillary may want to inaugurate the less optimistic "It's not her fault!" slogan, which is already echoing through her campaign, media, the Democratic Party, and safe-space dorm rooms everywhere.

During a conference call with donors the Saturday after the election, the wife of Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend blamed FBI Director James M. Comey for her embarrassing and decisive loss to Mr. Trump.

11 Very Depressing Economic Realities That Donald Trump Will Inherit From Barack Obama

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 06:00 PM PST

It would be a grave mistake to understate the amount of damage that has been done to the U.S. economy over the past eight years. In this article, I am going to share some economic numbers with you that are extremely sobering. Anyone that takes a cold, hard, honest look at the numbers should be able to see that our economy is in terrible shape. Unfortunately, the way that we see things is often clouded by our political views. Up until the election, Democrats were far more likely then Republicans to believe that the economy was improving, but now that is in the process of completely reversing. According toGallup, only 16 percent of Republicans believed that the economy was getting better before the election, but that number has suddenly jumped to 49 percent after Trump's election victory. And the percentage of Democrats that believe that the economy is getting better fell from 61 percent to 46 percent after the election. Here are some additional details from Gallup…

After Trump won last week's election, Republicans and Republican-leaning independents now have a much more optimistic view of the U.S. economy's outlook than they did before the election. Just 16% of Republicans said the economy was getting better in the week before the election, while 81% said it was getting worse. Since the election, 49% say it is getting better and 44% worse.

Conversely, Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents' confidence in the economy plummeted after the election. Before the election, 61% of Democrats said the economy was getting better and 35% worse. Now, Democrats are evenly divided, with 46% saying it is getting better and 47% saying it is getting worse.

The truth, of course, is that the result of the election did not somehow magically alter the outlook for the U.S. economy.

We still have a giant mess on our hands, and the following are 11 very depressing economic realities that Donald Trump will inherit from Barack Obama…

#1 Nearly 7 out of every 10 Americans have less than $1,000 in savings. That means that about two-thirds of the country is essentially living paycheck to paycheck at this moment.

$34M OC Convention Center Expansion Approved By Council; More Exhibit Space Planned For Facility

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 05:30 PM PST


OCEAN CITY — Citing a need to gain a competitive edge over similar facilities in the region and increase the economic impact, Ocean City officials this week agreed to move forward with the next major expansion of the Roland E. Powell Convention Center with an estimated price tag of around $34 million.

The Mayor and Council on Tuesday approved the next step in the convention center expansion process when they voted unanimously to request state funding for the matching share of the project through the Maryland Stadium Authority, which partners with Ocean City on the ever-expanding facility. The proposed expansion would add 30,000 square feet of exhibit space on the north side of the facility that would tie into the existing Exhibit Halls A and B, bringing total square footage to 80,000 square feet.

The expanded space could be used alone for a single event, or opened up with the other adjacent exhibit halls to create a larger space. Also included in the proposed expansion are new restrooms on the west side of the existing convention center along with expanded meeting rooms and a business center.

The total cost of the project is $34 million, of which the state is requested to fund 60 percent, or $20.4 million. The town's share would be 40 percent, or roughly $13.6 million, which would be funded by the one cent added to the food tax in Ocean City. Several years ago, state lawmakers allowed one cent to be added to the food tax in Ocean City with the revenue earmarked for convention center expansions.

Democrats Post Election Losses: 'This Is Not Fun Anymore'

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 05:00 PM PST

Democrats are saying "this is not fun anymore" after monumental losses on Election Day, which saw Republicans take the House, Senate, and the presidency.

The Washington Post highlighted infighting among Democrats in the House of Representatives, with younger members contemplating a challenge to their Party's aging leaders.

"For years now, there has been a problematic lack of upward mobility for younger Democrats," the paper wrote in its Daily 202 newsletter Wednesday. "Consider: The top three Democrats in leadership are 76 (Pelosi), 77 (Steny Hoyer) and 76 (Jim Clyburn). The top three Republican leaders, in contrast, are 46 (Paul Ryan), 51 (Kevin McCarthy) and 51 (Steve Scalise)."

The Post said a "generational divide fuels nascent Democratic revolt in House," as members might try to oust Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.).

Half of Americans More Confident in Trump Since Election

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 04:30 PM PST


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Fifty-one percent of U.S. adults say they are "more confident" in President-elect Donald Trump's ability to serve as president based on his statements and actions over the past few days. The percentage "more confident" in Trump a few days after his election is similar to ratings when Bill Clinton and George W. Bush won their respective elections in 1992 and 2000.
 
The fact that similar percentages of Americans say they have more confidence in Trump in the days after his election as did so for Bush and Clinton is notable, given that Trump is much less popular as president-elect than they were. Trump's favorable rating measured 42% in the Nov. 9-13 survey, compared with Bush's 59% and Clinton's 58% after they were elected.

Laura Ingraham: Steve Bannon Ran Campaign 'That Beat The Clintons, The Obamas, And The Bushes'

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 04:00 PM PST

On Monday's On The Record with host Tucker Carlson, conservative radio host and author Laura Ingraham said she would "seriously consider" becoming President-Elect Donald Trump's press secretary if offered the position and defended chief strategist Steve Bannon against the media smear campaign.

Asked if she would take the position of White House press secretary if offered the position, Ingraham said she may.

"I have my company, Lifezette, radio, Fox. I write a bunch of books. It's a big decision, but I'm at the point where if my country needs me and if I can do something to actually, you know, advance the Trump agenda which is stuff I have written about now for 15 years, trade, immigration and renewing America, then I obviously have to seriously consider that."

Carlson asked if rumored hawkish Cabinet picks would signal a change in the Trump administration's foreign policy.

Red-light camera exec gets $2M fine, 30 months in prison for bribery scam

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 03:00 PM PST

The former CEO of a red-light camera firm who bribed officials in two states got her own chance last week to appear before a judge, who doubled her prison time to 30 months and imposed a $2 million fine.

Karen Finley, former chief executive of Redflex Traffic Systems, was found guilty of paying off a Chicago official to help the company win contracts to install the cameras, which catch and ticket speeders, at traffic lights. She was already serving a 14-month sentence for her role in a similar scheme in Ohio when the federal judge threw the book at her Thursday.

Finley paid off John Bills, the No. 2 official in Chicago's Transportation Department, to steer tens of millions of dollars in contracts to Redflex, which is based in Australia and has U.S. headquarters in Arizona. Bills, who rose to his position from street lamp maintenance man over a 30-year career, was sentenced in August to 10 years in federal prison.

A pal of Bills', Martin "Marty" O'Malley, also received a six-month sentence. He was put on the RedFlex payroll as part of the scam, according to prosecutors.

Minnesota Officer Charged With Manslaughter In Castile Death

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 02:30 PM PST

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota police officer has been charged with second-degree manslaughter in the killing of Philando Castile, a black man whose girlfriend streamed the gruesome aftermath of the fatal shooting live on Facebook, prosecutors announced Wednesday.

St. Anthony police officer Jeronimo Yanez shot the 32-year-old during a July 6 traffic stop in the St. Paul suburb of Falcon Heights. Castile's girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, was in the car along with her young daughter at the time. The woman said Castile was shot several times while reaching for his ID after telling Yanez he had a gun permit and was armed.

Yanez's attorney, Tom Kelly, has said Yanez, who is Latino, was reacting to the presence of a gun, and that one reason Yanez pulled Castile over was because he thought he looked like a possible match for an armed robbery suspect.

But family members claimed Castile, an elementary school cafeteria worker, was racially profiled.

Arabic Translator: Muslim Migrants Secretly Hate Christians, Seek to Outbreed Them

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 02:00 PM PST

A translator who has lived in Germany since the 1990s has revealed that Muslim migrants believe "Germany should be Islamised", and loathe their hosts, according to a new report.

Working with asylum seekers in migrant centres, the 39 year old translator says she learnt that Muslims seek to "destroy" Christians, through having more children, and preach hatred towards people of other faiths.

Catholic website Kath.net, which has been looking into reports that Christians are discriminated against in German refugee camps, arranged a meeting with the Eritrean after being contacted by a German politician aware of the Catholic news agency's work.

Grateful for the "open-minded reception and support" she was given by Germany after arriving as a refugee in 1991, the woman began to volunteer in asylum centres five years ago to "give something back".

Pizza shop customer shoots 2 robbers, killing 1

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 12:00 PM PST

A pizza shop customer shot and killed one robber and injured another after they tried to hold up the restaurant Tuesday night, Pennsylvania officials said.

The incident took place at Porfirio's Pizza and Pasta in Levittown, about 25 miles northeast of Philadelphia.

Police said the customer shot both men after they allegedly pistol-whipped him.

"The two male robbers apparently told the employees and the customer to get on the ground. They began pistol-whipping the customer. At that point, the customer produced a handgun and shot both of the robbers," Middletown police Chief Joseph Bartorilla said.

One of the robbery suspects was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot in the chest. The second was in serious condition after suffering injuries in the neck and shoulder. The robber was being transferred to a hospital in Philadelphia, according to Levittown Now.

Uber Could End Business in Maryland

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 11:30 AM PST

BALTIMORE (WJZ)– A move Wednesday to increase safety for passengers who use popular ridesharing services, like Uber. The state wants all drivers to be fingerprinted as part of their criminal background check but the companies say not so fast.

This really could end up affecting everyday people who rely on uber, because the company says if the state forces them to follow these new guidelines they're just going to pack up and leave.

Uber is preparing for a battle with Maryland as the state gets ready to force 30,000 of the ride sharing companies drivers to go through more background checks. Which includes getting their fingerprints taken just like taxi drivers.

Experts say that step would weed out anyone who's lying about who they really are.

Black motorists in Md. are pulled over, searched at higher rates

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 10:30 AM PST

Black motorists in Maryland are stopped and searched by police at higher rates than their white counterparts, despite being less likely in many jurisdictions to be found with illicit drugs or other contraband, according to statewide traffic stop data.

In Baltimore County, black drivers were targeted in 50 percent of reported traffic stops by county police and 53 percent of vehicle searches between 2013 and this year, according to data from the Maryland Statistical Analysis Center, despite black people making up just 27 percent of the county's population.

In Anne Arundel County, black motorists accounted for 29 percent of stops and 35 percent of searches. Black people make up just 16 percent of the population in Arundel.

In Howard County, black drivers were targeted in 37 percent of stops and 43 percent of searches, despite black people making up just 18 percent of the population. After being pulled over in Howard for seat belt violations — one of the most common offenses tracked — black motorists were 87 percent more likely than white motorists to be searched.

Troopers Investigating Shots Fired Complaint Near Seaford

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 08:53 AM PST

Seaford– The Delaware State Police are currently investigating an incident in which shots were fired near residences on Church Road east of Seaford.

The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday November 16, 2016 as troopers responded to the area of Church Road and Concord Pond Road for a report of shots fired in the area. When troopers arrived, they were contacted by some residents who advised there were multiple gunshots that were fired in the direction of their houses. Shell casings were located on the roadway and one of the victim's vehicles sustained a bullet hole.

A home surveillance camera captured what appeared to be a dark colored pick up truck in the area at the time of the gunshots (See attached).

This case remains under investigation at this time and the Delaware State Police is requesting any information regarding this incident to contact Detective J. Jones at 302-752-3795. 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."

War On Cash Intensifies: Citibank To Stop Accepting Cash At Some Branches

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 08:45 AM PST

Less than a week after India's surprise move to scrap its highest denomination cash notes, another front in the War on Cash has intensified down under in Australia.

Yesterday, banking giant UBS proposed that eliminating Australia's $100 and $50 bills would be "good for the economy and good for the banks."

(How convenient that a bank would propose something that's good for banks!)

This isn't the first time that the financial establishment has pushed for a cashless society in Australia (or anywhere else).

In September 2015, Australian bank Westpac published its "Cash Free Report", suggesting that the country would become cashless by 2022.

In July 2016, Australian payments firm Tyro published an enormously self-serving blog post touting the benefits of a cashless society and saying, "it's only a matter of time."

Most notably, two days ago, Citibank (yes, THAT Citibank) announced that it was going cashless at some of its Australian branches.

The media and political establishments have chimed in as well.

Illegals demand Obama issue mass pardons amid Trump deportation fears

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 08:30 AM PST

Illegal immigrants are preparing to ask President Obama to pardon some 750,000 Dreamers, saying such a move is their last, best hope to stave off what they fear will be a wave of deportations once Donald Trump takes the Oval Office.

Community leaders have planned a rally in New York on Wednesday to make the request.

"Millions of law abiding undocumented immigrants are fearful of what will happen when the new Administration takes control in January," the group of New York state lawmakers and immigration advocates said in a statement announcing the rally. "However, President Obama has the power of pardons that he can use to protect all DACA enrollees."

As of September, more than 740,000 illegal immigrants had been approved for Mr. Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, a minor amnesty that grants young adult illegal immigrants a two-year stay of deportation and issues them work permits, entitling them to driver's licenses and some taxpayer benefits.

North Carolina foster parents who featured on 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' gave AWAY their five children after getting the home of their dreams

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 08:15 AM PST

A North Carolina couple who featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition have been accused of kicking their five adopted children out of the home the TV show built for them.

Devonda and James Friday were given a 3,900-square-foot home near Charlotte in December 2012 as part of the popular renovation show.

The couple, who already had two children in their care, were selected for the home makeover having just adopted an additional five young siblings so they did not have to live in separate foster homes.

The show recruited 3,000 volunteers to help renovate their house with extra rooms after the couple had converted their carport into a makeshift bedroom to make room for everyone.

But the two eldest children of the five adopted siblings, Kamaya and Chris Friday, who are now adults, have claimed their adopted parents kicked them out soon after the show aired, WSOC-TV reports.

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 07:45 AM PST

(Salisbury, MD) Every year on the third Thursday of November, the Great American Smokeout challenges people who smoke to stop using tobacco and educates about the many tools they can use to help them quit and stay quit. Smokers across the nation use the date as the start of a long-term quit attempt or to practice quitting for a day.

The American Cancer Society started the Great American Smokeout in the 1970s. Each year, this event draws attention to the deaths and chronic diseases caused by smoking. Because of this and many other efforts in education and policy, the adult smoking rate in the United States has decreased from 37.4% in the 1970s to 12% in 2014 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

In celebration of the Great American Smokeout, the Wicomico County Health Department will offer stop smoking kits at the following Health Department locations: the Fritz building at 300 W Carroll Street, Salisbury, MD 21801 and the Hurdle building at 108 E Main Street, Salisbury, MD 21801. Take advantage of trying to quit with thousands of others across the nation; pick up a stop smoking kit and quit for the day….it could be the first of many!

For on-going support, The Wicomico County Health Department offers stop smoking classes every Thursday at noon in its E Main Street location. The program offers free education and support. Participants are eligible to receive FREE quit smoking medications including nicotine replacement patches, nicotine lozenges, or Chantix. Anyone who lives or works in Wicomico County may participate. Confidential one-on-one counseling is also available, including for pregnant women.

For more information about the Great American Smokeout or the stop smoking program, call (410) 334-3480 or visit www.wicomicohealth.org.

Nationwide Effort to Make College Campuses Safe Zones for Undocumented Students

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 07:30 AM PST

BALTIMORE (WJZ)– Donald Trump's promise to deport illegal immigrants has heightened fears amongst foreign students. That's sparked a nationwide effort to make college campuses safe zones for undocumented students.

The sanctuary campus movement has spread to more than 100 schools across the country, including a few in Maryland.

Comments from the president-elect sparked fears.

"It's scary. This whole situation has been very scary," said Towson University student Maria Centeno.

Centeno was brought to the U.S. as a baby and worries everything she's worked for could disappear.

"This is my home. My friends are here. I grew up here," said Centeno.

Obama, Clinton, And Sanders Could Stop The Riots But They Just Watch

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 07:15 AM PST

Is it just me or have you also noticed that Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and President Obama have been silent about the protests?

The very people who have the power to stop these protests and riots with just a few well-spoken words have been completely silent on the issue.

Hillary Clinton

During her concession speech, Clinton said, "We must accept this result, and then look to the future. … Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead."

After that, she has been mum on the entire thing.

Hillary Clinton could have asked her followers to stop this nonsense, and they probably would have listened out of respect for her. (Misplaced respect but that's a whole different article.) Instead, her silence makes me think that she is hidden away, relishing the chaos. That she has done nothing to attempt to calm the situation underlines the fact that she was not fit to govern. A leader would look out for the best interests of a country they love, rather than watching from afar to apply balm to her wounded ego.

Instead, her Twitter is full of Bible quotes (huh?) and mentions nary a word about the protests. It has not been updated since the day after her failed bid.

Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders, the one from whom the Democratic primary was fraudulently stolen, the one who backed up Hillary Clinton anyway, has also been uncharacteristically silent, especially for an aging peace-and-love hippie kind of guy.

Maryland comptroller misdirected more than $21 million in tax money

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 07:07 AM PST

Maryland's chief tax collector said Wednesday that his office accidentally misdirected $21.4 million of local income tax payments for years, a mistake that affects nearly every municipality in the state.

Comptroller Peter Franchot told a panel of state lawmakers that the scope of misdirected tax payments was broader than he previously thought.

State auditors reported in September that the comptroller's office had sent $8.7 million to the wrong municipalities in Montgomery County. On Wednesday, Franchot said his office found another $12.7 million in misdirected money since 2010.

Over the next couple of days, 89 cities will receive checks for money they should have received over the past five years. Some checks will be for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Another 83 cities, which received money in error, will be required to repay the state. The cities will be put on payment plans that start in 2024.

Franchot, a Democrat, has been comptroller for nearly 10 years.

Obama twists the knife in Hillary Clinton's disastrous campaign

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 07:00 AM PST

Hillary Clinton's allegedly tense and stormy relationship with President Obama is likely to become a lot more complicated now that the commander in chief is out publicly criticizing her disastrous 2016 campaign.

The failed presidential candidate's greatest mistake was that she ceded white rural voters to her opponent, Donald Trump, Obama told reporters this week.

The former secretary of state and her campaign team focused all of their time and energy on targeting urban areas, while ignoring voters in surrounding rural territories, many of whom had supported Obama. In certain states — Wisconsin, for example — she did not even bother to campaign because polling showed that she was far ahead.

For Obama, whose 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns included staff dedicated specifically to rural outreach, Clinton's strategy was, for lack of a better word, lazy.

Study: Obamacare premiums to jump 27%

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 06:45 AM PST

Actual increases higher than government projections

(FREEBEACON) — A new study obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows premium increases under Obamacare will actually be higher than the federal government's projections.

Obamacare premiums will increase by 27 percent next year, according to the center-right policy institute the American Action Forum. The Department of Health and Human Services announced last month that premiums would increase an average of 22 percent in 2017, with the health care law's Silver plans rising to $296 per month. Premiums will increase as much as 145 percent in some states.

The American Action Forum found that the average increase is likely to be higher than predicted because the agency did not factor in that nearly half of Obamacare plans no longer exist, forcing enrollees to switch to costlier plans.

Radio station dumps atheists for Christmas music

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 06:37 AM PST

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, a motley crew of atheists, agnostics and free-thinkers just got a lump of coal in their Christmas stockings.

WXXM, the progressive talk radio station in Madison, Wisconsin, has flipped formats – leaving the uber-liberal city without a place to converse about micro-aggressions, plot protest marches or swap quinoa recipes.

The Wisconsin State Journal reports that Liberal Talk "92.1 The Mic" will now be called "92.1 BestFM" -- "Madison's Home for the Holidays."

Yes, good readers -- progressive talk was replaced with around-the-clock Christmas music. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Trump supporter, 15, beaten during Rockville protest

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 06:30 AM PST

WASHINGTON — A student is facing assault charges after a student protest of the election of Donald Trump to the presidency turned violent Wednesday.

Hundreds of students from Richard Montgomery High School were carrying signs reading, "Love Trumps Hate," and chanting near the Rockville courthouse on Maryland Avenue in a protest that began at about 10 a.m. when a 15-year-old boy wearing one of the Trump campaign's "Make American Great Again" hats was attacked by about four students.

The group surrounded the teen, punching him repeatedly, then threw him to the ground and kicked him repeatedly in the ribs. It is not yet clear what led up to the incident, but Maj. Michael English with Rockville police said the victim was not the aggressor.

"They jumped him and beat him up pretty bad," Max Stucky, a bystander who witnessed the attack, told WTOP.

The teen, who wasn't seriously hurt, was seen clutching the back of his head in pain. He was helped to his feet by medics and taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

House votes 419-1 to extend Iran sanctions

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 06:15 AM PST

The House voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to extend an Iran sanctions law for another 10 years, amid growing worries that the U.S. needs to keep some leverage over Iran as it pushes for that country to implement the nuclear agreement.

Lawmakers voted 419-1 in favor of extending the Iran Sanctions Act, the foundation of a range of U.S. sanctions against Iran.

The only vote against the bill came from Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.

The vote is a sign the bill should easily pass the Senate. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said passage shows that Congress is ready to take a tougher stance on Iran than that of President Obama. While Obama has moved to ease sanctions against Iran, Republicans and even some Democrats say the U.S. needs to impose tougher measures to ensure Iran's compliance.

This Should NOT Be Legal

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 06:07 AM PST

I live on Spruce street a block away from the elementary school. 

One more block over on Walnut street lives a registered sex offender that was found guilty of child pornography possession. How is this legal?! The site says he moved here in October. I'm appalled and sickened to know a sex offender now lives a block from my 9 year old daughter and two blocks away from over 900 elementary students. 

Will you please make our community aware of this? Every parent deserves to know.

Tech Company Founder Resigns Over Apparent Threats to Donald Trump

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 06:00 AM PST

The founder of a California tech company has resigned after he appeared to post threats to kill President-elect Donald Trump on social media last week, the company confirmed Tuesday.

Matthew Harrigan, who founded PacketSled, a network security company, in 2012, apologized for what he called "a flawed joke" that had been taken out of context. He stressed that his "poor judgment" doesn't represent the views of PacketSled, a startup headquartered in Del Mar, near San Diego.

In a statement Tuesday, the company's board of directors said it "does not condone the comments made by Mr. Harrigan" and had accepted his resignation as president and chief executive, effective immediately. Earlier, the company said that it had placed Harrigan on leave and that it had reported the remarks to the Secret Service.

Are You An Idiot?

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 02:48 AM PST

Yesterday we all came out with a press release letting you know a local business was expanding and in three years they'll add up to 50 new jobs. WOW, what a load of crap!

While I am personally happy/excited about this business growing, I'm NOT an Idiot!

Let's start with Labinol. Weren't they supposed to have up to 1,000 employees after receiving a grant Jim Ireton and Babs helped them get from the state of Maryland and then they took the money, packed up and relocated to Texas. Let's cut the staff in half and say there were 500 jobs lost here. Now all of a sudden Jake Day, Bob Culver and Governor Hogan are pounding their chest for an ALLEGED 50 new positions here IN THREE YEARS. 

Let's also not forget that SWED, (Salisbury Wicomico Economic Development) is also pounding their chest, WHY? Because yet another rare business expansion FELL INTO THEIR LAP! 

I'm not an Idiot. You see, if SWED was bringing in new manufacturing jobs, that would be an achievement but Americans have become so stupid these days, they fall for this kind of press release as exciting, it's not. 

THINK! What the hell is Governor Hogan doing putting out this press release? Tell me Ladies & Gentlemen, when  is the last time a sitting Governor actually brought a new company to the Eastern Shore? We read how each Governor brings jobs/industry to Baltimore and Montgomery County but never to the Shore.

Didn't the Governor, County Executive and Mayor run their campaign on JOBS? Is this expansion what you accept as a delivery of a promise? If you said yes, you are in fact an Idiot. 

Our elected officials need to be held accountable for their campaign promises. We all believed that the people we elected were in fact the answer to our problems, jobs. 

They went FULL COURT PRESS on this press release and it's a JOKE. When the Economic Development Director brings forth a REAL press release that takes a major bite into the Labinol loss, then and only then will I be excited. In the mean time your elected officials continue to fail you here on the Eastern Shore. 

Finally, I'm in the news business and let me assure you, I never hear uplifting news or even discussions about the possibility of bringing future excitement towards job growth. As I stated yesterday, keep planting those trees Downtown and call it revitalization, Idiots. 

Bob Costas has great idea on how NFL should handle protesting players

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 05:30 AM PST

NEW YORK — Bob Costas of NBC Sports is known for his thoughtful coverage of sports.

Leave it to Costas to come up with one of the most intriguing ideas we've heard on how the NFL can handle protesting players such as Colin Kaepernick — while placating #BoycottNFL fans angered over disrespect of the American flag and national anthem.

Costas, the 27-time Emmy winner, will host the pregame show for NBC's portion of the "Thursday Night Football" package, along with Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy and two-time Super Bowl champ Rodney Harrison.

During a press lunch in New York City on Monday, Costas outlined a possible "compromise" to Sporting News.

What if NFL players protesting social issues, ranging from Kaepernick's protest of police shootings of unarmed black men to Mike Evans' protest of the election of Donald Trump, agreed to stay in the locker room during the singing of the national anthem? asked Costas.

That way, fans in the stadium, and the millions watching at home, would be spared the sight of players kneeling or sitting out the presentation of Old Glory and the singing of the "Star-Spangled Banner."

America First

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 05:15 AM PST

However Donald Trump came upon the foreign policy views he espoused, they were as crucial to his election as his views on trade and the border.

Yet those views are hemlock to the GOP foreign policy elite and the liberal Democratic interventionists of the Acela Corridor.

Trump promised an "America First" foreign policy rooted in the national interest, not in nostalgia. The neocons insist that every Cold War and post-Cold War commitment be maintained, in perpetuity.

On Sunday's "60 Minutes," Trump said: "You know, we've been fighting this war for 15 years. … We've spent $6 trillion in the Middle East, $6 trillion — we could have rebuilt our country twice. And you look at our roads and our bridges and our tunnels … and our airports are … obsolete."

Yet the War Party has not had enough of war, not nearly.

Trump vows to immediately deport up to 3 million undocumented immigrants

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 05:00 AM PST

President-elect Donald Trump said Sunday he intends to deport or incarcerate as many as 3 million undocumented immigrants once he takes office.

"What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate," Trump told CBS's CBS, +0.59% Lesley Stahl during an interview on "60 Minutes" to be aired Sunday night. "But we're getting them out of our country, they're here illegally."

Trump said that after tackling the criminal element and securing the borders, "we are going to make a determination" on what to do with other undocumented immigrants. "They're terrific people but we are gonna make a determination at that," Trump said.


Trump also said he's determined to build a wall along the border with Mexico, but will accept fencing in some places. "For certain areas, I would. But for certain areas a wall is more appropriate," Trump said. "I'm very good at this. It's called construction."

Young Grocery Shoppers Have No Idea Who This ‘Paul Newman’ Guy Is

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 04:00 AM PST

Paul Newman was a very famous movie star. This will seem obvious to readers above a certain age and fans of classic films, but it is apparently not that obvious to all grocery shoppers. While you'd think that the late star's Newman's Own line of organic food that turns over profits to charity would be a hit with civic-minded foodies, that guy on the label may as well be Duncan Hines or Chef Boyardee to younger shoppers.

Well… maybe not that obscure, since many people don't know whether those two men were real people or marketing department creations. Still, when Newman's Own did some market research, the company discovered that relatively few younger shoppers knew that the company's profits go to a charitable foundation.

In an article about the rebranding and ad initiative, the New York Times uses the "M" word: "millennials." Suddenly, that makes sense: if you don't know where the brand came from, it wouldn't be obvious that it was started as a fundraiser.

Foods That Help Depression

Turkey

The traditional Thanksgiving bird has the protein building-block tryptophan, which your body uses to make serotonin. That's a brain chemical that plays a key role in depression, researchers say. In fact, some antidepressant drugs work by targeting the way your brain uses serotonin. You can get the same mood-boosting effect from chicken and soybeans.

Google, Facebook To Fight Fake “News” Sites By Blocking Them From Ad Money

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 03:00 AM PST

Google and Facebook are, hands down, the two most common ways for basically everyone to find information: either you're searching for links on one, or browsing your news feed on the other. They're also the two biggest advertising companies in the world, which gives them some leverage to feed or starve some content. And when it comes to totally bogus news, both are now going to take the "starve" approach.

We've all seen them; some of us may even have shared them. There's a BLARING HEADLINE that confirms either your deepest hopes or worst fears — Politician A Eats Kittens! Politician B Downs Puppies! — and it's making the rounds all over Facebook despite coming from a site with a URL like Clearly-Biased-Fake-Source.com.

They're everywhere. John Oliver took them to task in his last Last Week Tonightepisode of the year, and he's far from alone. The New York Times, Washington Post, and others have all repeatedly questioned the prominence of fake news across Facebook and Google, and the effect that so much pure crap may be having on the public.

Black motorists in Md. are pulled over, searched at higher rates

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 02:30 AM PST

Black motorists in Maryland are stopped and searched by police at higher rates than their white counterparts, despite being less likely in many jurisdictions to be found with illicit drugs or other contraband, according to statewide traffic stop data.

In Baltimore County, black drivers were targeted in 50 percent of reported traffic stops by county police and 53 percent of vehicle searches between 2013 and this year, according to data from the Maryland Statistical Analysis Center, despite black people making up just 27 percent of the county's population.

In Anne Arundel County, black motorists accounted for 29 percent of stops and 35 percent of searches. Black people make up just 16 percent of the population in Arundel.

In Howard County, black drivers were targeted in 37 percent of stops and 43 percent of searches, despite black people making up just 18 percent of the population. After being pulled over in Howard for seat belt violations — one of the most common offenses tracked — black motorists were 87 percent more likely than white motorists to be searched.

Alaska Airlines Flies First Commercial Jet Fueled By Trees

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 02:00 AM PST

Alaska Airlines flew a bit greener yesterday, powering up one of its jets with a special biofuel made from trees and flying from Seattle to Washington, D.C.

The airline claims it was the first commercial flight using "renewable, alternative jet fuel made from forest residuals," limbs and branches leftover from harvesting managed forests.

The demonstration flight took off from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Monday and landed at Reagan National Airport in D.C., fueled with a 20% blend of sustainable aviation fuel, which the airline says is "chemically indistinguishable from regular jet A fuel."

Alaska Airlines teamed up with the Washington State University-led Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance (NARA) to develop the fuel, which it says is the first of its kind.

"This latest milestone in Alaska's efforts to promote sustainable biofuels is especially exciting since it is uniquely sourced from the forest residuals in the Pacific Northwest," said Joe Sprague, Alaska Airlines' senior vice president of communications and external relations. "NARA's accomplishments and the investment of the U.S. Department of Agriculture provide another key in helping Alaska Airlines and the aviation industry reduce its carbon footprint and dependency on fossil fuels."

Homeopathic Treatments To Be Held To Same Standards As Other Health Products

Posted: 17 Nov 2016 01:00 AM PST

Homeopathic medicine is a billion-dollar business, with some of the biggest names in retail selling treatments that contain few — or no — active ingredients, like the CVS brand "Homeopathic Constipation Relief" that is nothing more than a 40-proof mixture of alcohol and water. In spite of the lack of actual medication or supporting evidence, some products still make claims that they can actually treat ailments or relieve pain. Now the federal government is confirming that homeopathic items will be held to the same standards as other products on drugstore shelves.
