| Principal Of James M. Bennett High School Speaks Out About Recent Fights Posted: 11 Dec 2016 04:22 PM PST  First, let me emphasize that it is the behaviors of a very small few that are negatively impacting the excellent school that we have here at James M. Bennett. I am proud to serve as the principal of the best school in Wicomico County, and take on the great responsibility of ensuring that we have a safe and secure learning environment for all staff and students. Last week we had an assault and an unrelated fight that put various members of our school community at risk. Please understand that these actions are not acceptable and will not be tolerated for any reason. Any student that puts any staff member or student in danger will receive the maximum consequences allowed by the code of conduct, and in addition, we will also seek prosecution to the fullest extent possible. JMB parents, staff, and students – we will not allow the actions of a handful of students who are not focused on coming to school and taking advantage of the excellent academic and extra-curricular opportunities that we have to offer, to ruin things for the vast majority who are here for the right reasons! While any number of disruptions such as fighting is too many, this year's group of students and staff members have cut the number of these occurrences in more than half from what they were last year at this same time. And we will continue to work together to reduce disruptive behaviors even more by maintaining high expectations for all students and giving severe consequences to those who are disruptive. Over the weekend I had the opportunity to speak with a number of JMB parents, who while expressing their concerns over the events of last week, also expressed their appreciation for the excellent staff that works with their children each day. As principal, I am honored to work with such a great group of caring individuals who consistently go above and beyond to meet the needs of all students. Together as a unified James M. Bennett High School - students, parents, staff, and community – we will continue to work together for the success of all students. For those parents who would like to discuss the issues of this past week, or any other issues of concern, I invite you to a Principal's open door session this Tuesday night, December 13th, from 4:00 to 6:00. I look forward to continuing to work with each of you for the success of our JMB students! This week is going to be a great week at JMB!!! And if I don't get to see you or speak to you before the break, I hope everyone has a great holiday season with family and friends!!! Thank you, Frederick L. Briggs Proud Principal of JMB  | ||||||

| Posted: 11 Dec 2016 08:43 AM PST  Many in and out of DC are anxiously awaiting to judge Donald Trump on his first 100 days with bated breath but is this timeline really just a myth?
While we have pretty much the same thing now short of a huge stock crash, the country is in dire straits with a stunning 95M unemployment number still hanging like a black cloud over our economy. Therefore, when FDR took office, he had both a Congress and Senate more than willing to try his 'just try it' attitude in order to fix the dismal situation - this being in stark contrast of what we have now.
Conversely, Trump is unfortunately stuck with Speaker Paul Ryan (R) - a person who is not as gratuitous as Rainey; this was demonstratively evident from his pre-election banter and constant naysaying of his own party's candidate. Ryan has made it no secret he has his own agenda for many things that grossly conflict with Trump. The fact he wants to grant amnesty to millions of illegals while ushering in countless unvetted refugees into the country when so many Americans are desperately trying to survive, is a strong indication he is no Rainey. He seems to miss the memos showing the real unemployment plight and the fact that many are having to work two or three jobs to make what they used to make in one, leaving them less time with their families.
Therefore, is it an unreasonable demand to expect Trump's first 100 to be wildly spectacular? Perhaps, but given what he's accomplished on his own thus far, maybe his first days will be even better than FDR's - a potentiality that drives the Media and Liberal Tears insane. That Trump has been working hard prior to inauguration demonstrates he knows he has a tough stretch to hoe after he takes oath. Now, he is using his ability to make deals to get business owners to reconsider taking jobs out of the States while building a cabinet of solid professionals around him. While some of his Generals and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson are already getting some backlash from the loopy left and RINOs, they are solid people who will serve as they always have, with dignity and grace. Those in opposition are creating fake objections simply to thwart Trump's progress, not to help America. Knowing Trump and his team's persuasive abilities, the confirmations will go through, but some dissent will be noted for record. However, for those putting up such ridiculous resistance, what does that tell us about them? America first, or hardline politics? The election is proof that we are tired of the same ole, same ole DC political milieu and that we want a drastic change to occur. No more ignoring our rule of law. No more adding to a stressed population with more stress. No more gross fraud and waste. No more malarkey. It's time for the Beltway Crowd to get with the program and realize a new sheriff is in town and things will be a changin'! As for Trump's first 100, it will not be without its spills and chills and we may not see everything mysteriously materialize but if he doesn't surpass FDR's legendary 1933 record, he'll come pretty close to it! I'm not tired of winning yet. How say you?  | ||||||

All of the victims are in very serious condition. I had been told the details but I will refrain from bringing any of that up as I'm sure you can imagine just how bad it was.

| Academia: When Is Enough, Enough? Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST  Over the last few weeks, colleges like Emory have declared that, like sanctuary cities, they will become safe havens for illegal aliens; thus, providing cover for illegals to avert federal law enforcement agencies and continue to live in America. One thing academia seems to forget is, unless they're private institutions (and even then, there's still some gray areas) they depend on federal monies to fill their already overflowing coffers. Like those cities, is it time to cut the proverbial fiscal cord and let them dangle in the wind? Maybe they should look to their on-staff historians (professors) for counsel about just what's in that crazy ruling document we also call the United States Constitution. As it seems, Academia has now joined the mayhem of immigration enforcement on the premise they promote the "dreamers." Well, there were dreamers in the 1890s crowd that immigrated legally to the US through Ellis Island. They did so because they wanted to escape oppression, bad economies and other plights; however, they didn't seek entrance through any back doors. Contrary to modern day illegal aliens, they got on the boat (legally,) crossed the Atlantic (legally,) and went through the rigors of Ellis (again, legally) to gain citizenship. Hence, the word legal is the key component here that many liberals seems to ignore in their cries against the big bad immigration situation, which is law in our country. A week or so back, I referred to the fact that the federal government is not obligated to pay out monies to any other entity other than the Military and United States Postal Service. One of my commenters further backed up my claim, citing the Tenth Amendment. Yes, it is true and academia is now treading in very dangerous territory. Hard to help dreamers when you have no cash to back up the high rhetoric. Perhaps it's time for us to revisit the notion of state autonomy and apply it to the Academic world as well. Given the high tuitions for educations that seem to be of little use to the Snowflake crowd as they work their Starbucks' jobs and live in the basement due to high cost of living and no real jobs available, yet colleges still teach courses like Gender Studies where a person needs to gain a PhD to get a 'real job.' Not only does this provide a generation of Peter Pans no bankable skills, it leaves them ensconced in debt - they cannot afford to pay off working even $15.00 per hour jobs. Academic foundations are found to be some of the richest out there, so where's all this federal grant money going? Ironically, much of their money goes to research - but where has all this 'research' gotten us? Are there cures for cancer, diabetes, MS, or Alzheimers that we're unaware of? Unfortunately, for all this wasted cash, we haven't seen where research in the breeding habits of fruit flies has helped cure any of America's economic ills. Let's face it, a lot of this so-called research isn't doing much in the furtherance of our society and its well-being; so why do we continue to fund such fruitless efforts? Is it to put another PhD in a tenured position so he/she can teach absolutely nothing to future generations while expounding platitudes about their personal politics? When is enough, enough? Now with a $19T debt that we can never possibly pay off, can we afford these Social Justice Warriors to continue their big talk that promotes violating federal laws? The fact these colleges would directly challenge the hand that feeds is quite stunning and, frankly, short-sighted on their lot. So next time you pass any one of our local learning institutions, think to yourselves, it's all a matter of time when they will join this illegal alien sanctuary battle cry; hence, leaving you little taxpayers to foot for yet another extravagant bill generated by institutions already seen to many as an incubus of fiscal gluttony and waste! How say you?  | ||||||

| Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST   Incident: AssaultDate of Incident: 7 December 2016 Location: 300 E. College Avenue, Salisbury, MD Suspect: Daquan P. Parks, 16, Fruitland, MD. Narrative: On 7 December 2016 at 7:30 AM, a deputy responded to the main office of James M. Bennett High School for a reported disturbance. The deputy learned that one of the school's assistant principals was dealing with a 16 year old student named Daquan Parks. It was reported that Parks began arguing with the assistant principal and that escalated to a physical confrontation. It was alleged that Parks pushed the assistant principal back over the counter in the main office and began to choke her with both of Park's hands around her neck. The school principal immediately attempted to intervene to stop the assault at which point Parks began swinging at the principal, landing some punches including one to his head which knocked him to the ground. Parks, who was also knocked to the ground in the scuffle then got back on his feet and went after the assistant principal again, this time pinning her against the wall until additional help arrived and Parks was restrained. Both the Assistant Principal and Principal suffered injury as a result of the assault by Parks. The deputy placed Parks under arrest and transported him to the Central Booking Unit where he was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. Following an initial appearance, the Commissioner detained Parks in the Detention Center in lieu of $20,000.00 bond. Charges: As an adult - Assault 1st Degree, Assault 2nd Degree and Disorderly Conduct  | ||||||

| Let's Spend Tens Of Millions Of Taxpayer Dollar To Better Education Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST  We at Salisbury News had stated from day one, (when they proposed new school construction) PROVE it is WORTHY. Prove the grades are high enough to warrant such massive investments. Even County Council Members started asking for the same thing. Yet your Liberal leadership shoved it down our taxpayer throats and day in and day out these "CHILDREN" prove we continue to throw good money after bad money. In the mean time, look at the examples these students are setting. Look at the extremely lenient discipline they deliver to these horrible students and finally, how the hell are the good students supposed to learn with all these distractions? OK, so you tell me/us, what do you believe needs to be done to put these crimes to rest? I can assure you, your elected officials and Board of Education representatives follow Salisbury News.  | ||||||

| Biden: I'm Going to Run for President in 2020 Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST  The 74-year-old told reporters Monday he was "going to run in 2020 . . . for president," and, when probed further, paused before saying he was not counting it out. "I am not committed to anything," he told reporters, per The Hill. "I learned a long time ago, fate has a strange way of intervening." Biden thought about running in 2016 but dropped out in late 2015 after deciding he could not mount a winning campaign following the death of his son, Beau, to cancer. "As my family and I have worked through the grieving process," he said then. "I've said all along that it may very well be that that process, by the time we get through it, closes the window on mounting a realistic campaign for president. I've concluded it has closed." The former U.S. senator campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and ran for president in 1988 and 2008. In January, he told CNN he had regrets about not entering the race, but "it was the right decision for my family and for me." More  | ||||||
| Mikulski Closes Out 40 Years In Elected Office Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST  Sen. Barbara Mikulski officially closes out her four decades in elected office on Jan. 3. But on Wednesday, the body's longest serving woman gave her farewell address on the Senate floor. "More than half of my life has been in elected public service, but at the same time, all of my life has been focused on service," said the 80-year-old Baltimore native. "You know when people vote for you, it's not that they're sending you to Washington, they're sending you to City Hall. They're giving you their vote of confidence...that you will be on their side, that they will be on your side." Before her five years on the City Council, 10 years in the House of Representatives and 30 years in the U.S. Senate, Mikulski was a community organizer, working with residents in Fells Point and Rosemont to block a massive highway project that would have seen neighbors divided and homes demolished. "We defied the odds and that's how I came into office, a champion on behalf of the people," Mikulski said. More  | ||||||

| Feminist Journalist: Sex Will 'Get A Lot Less Fun' Under Trump Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST  The title of Filipovic's editorial, along with its lead sentence, contained the over-the-top "lot less fun" statement about sex. She followed this by noting that "anti-abortion and anti-contraception" Rep. Price is also a "proponent of defunding Planned Parenthood, an organization that serves more than 2.5 million patients, many of them low-income, every year." The feminist writer, who received an award from Planned Parenthood for "media excellence" in 2015, continued with oft-used talking points about the abortion giant: "Birth control and STI testing and treatment make up the majority of services Planned Parenthood provides...Federal funding mostly goes to Planned Parenthood in the form of Medicaid dollars, which are set aside to provide health care for poor Americans, and that's who these funding cuts will largely affect." Filipovic then outlined why, in her view, American women would have "a harder time getting contraception" with Rep. Price heading the Department of Health and Human Services: More  | ||||||
| Michael Moore: ‘Disrupt the Inauguration’ Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST Liberal documentary filmaker Michael Moore is encouraging Americans to take to the streets to protest the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. "Disrupt the Inauguration. The Majority have spoken – by nearly 2.7 million votes &counting! Silence is not an option," Moore tweeted Wednesday morning to his three million Twitter followers.
"We call on all people of good conscience to join in disrupting the ceremonies," the website reads. "If Trump is to be inaugurated at all, let it happen behind closed doors, showing the true face of the security state Trump will preside over. It must be made clear to the whole world that the vast majority of people in the United States do not support his presidency or consent to his rule."  | ||||||
| Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST  People wonder about why we are seeing more violent crimes, they need to look at their Senators & Delegates that voted for house bill 1312 (the Justice Reinvestment Act.) It's going to get a lot worse. Everyone is quick to blame Judges, Police, or even the Jails. If you actually understood that it's the Maryland Parole Commission who releases at their discretion. Commissioners are chosen by the Governor & the Justice Reinvestment Act was voted in by our elected officials. They're releasing hundreds of people to parole, then ignoring Parole Agents warrant requests just to save money. Lemon: Jan 2016 sent to 6 months for possession with intent to distribute cds. 3yrs probation. Chandler: 2008 PBJ to resist arrest. 2014 MDOP conviction. 2014 sent to 55 days for violating exparte. Church: 2010 PBJ for disorderly conduct. 2013 cds possession. 2014 assault 2nd, 18 months all suspended. Purnell: 2006 2yrs for possession of firearm. 2014 sentence to 5yrs for assault 2nd. Purnell was also sentenced in 2009 to 5 yrs for possession with intent to distribute cds. Yesterday's press release on the above. The following information/link should explain things a whole lot better. It's time Governor Hogan get on the ball with these criminals and thousands of others like them. O'Malley is to blame but it is now up to Hogan to correct this problem. Remember where ECI releases the majority of their prisoners, Salisbury and Wicomico County.

Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST  That being said, something needs to be done about Matt Holloway rarely ever attending meetings any more. Not only that but Council Members are appointed to many different positions and committees. The mere fact that each candidate and ultimately Council Member knows they are to represent their district and what is required. Matt Holloway continues to distance himself from attending the majority of his responsibilities and is failing his district miserably. In fact, Matt wants to be Vice President this go around, yet he's rarely ever at a Council Meeting any more. The Council needs to put in place language that states if you miss 6 meetings in one year, the Council has the right to consider replacing that Council Member.

"If benefits are great in some states, people will just stay home," he noted. Those benefits may include welfare, food stamps and Medicare. "It's not that people are lazy, they are just not stupid," Michael Tanner, senior fellow at the Cato Institute, which advocates limited government, tells FOXBusiness.com. Tanner, who studies poverty issues, also notes the federal welfare system is very complex and has around 70 programs, making it more complicated to fix.

| Doctors And Hospitals Tell Patients: Show Us The Money Before Treatment Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST Tai Boxley needs a hysterectomy. The 34-year-old single mother has uterine prolapse, a condition that occurs when the muscles and ligaments supporting the uterus weaken, causing severe pain, bleeding and urine leakage. Boxley and her 13-year-old son have health insurance through her job as an administrative assistant in Tulsa, Okla. But the plan has a deductible of $5,000 apiece, and Boxley's doctor said he won't do the surgery until she prepays her share of the cost. His office estimates that will be as much as $2,500. Boxley is worried that the hospital may demand its cut as well before the surgery can be performed. "I'm so angry," Boxley said. "If I need medical care, I should be able to get it without having to afford it up front." More  | ||||||
| Governor Larry Hogan Announces Common Sense Paid Sick Leave Legislation Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST Balanced Approach Will Benefit Maryland Workers and Job Creators ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Larry Hogan today announced plans to introduce legislation in the upcoming session of the Maryland General Assembly to provide common sense, balanced paid sick leave benefits that have the potential to cover nearly all working Marylanders without placing an unmanageable burden on job creators. During his remarks at a State House press conference, the governor reaffirmed his commitment to common sense policies that will make Maryland a more business-friendly state while ensuring a strong and healthy workforce. "For the last few years, there has been a great deal of discussion and debate around the issue of paid sick leave in Maryland," said Governor Hogan. "While all of us agree that more workers need sick leave in Maryland, it would be irresponsible to put a law on the books that unfairly penalizes our state's job creators. It is clear that, in order to move forward, we must strike a balance between the needs of Maryland's employees while not hurting our small businesses and continuing to foster a more business-friendly climate in our state. "A strong majority of Marylanders want to see the state address this issue in a common sense way that benefits our workers while also protecting our small business job creators. We look forward to working with legislators on both sides of the aisle to reach an agreement on a balanced, fair, and common sense approach to paid sick leave." The Hogan administration's proposal contains important provisions to protect Maryland's small business community. Businesses with 50 or more employees will be required to offer paid sick leave totaling at least 40 hours per year, with the ability for employees to roll over a maximum of 40 hours each year. The proposal also calls for part-time employees to be covered after a minimum of 30 working hours. If a company already has a general leave policy that meets these minimum requirements, the state will not interfere. In addition, the state will honor existing collective bargaining agreements with unions. The 50-employee threshold matches current federal standards under the Family Medical Leave Act and the Affordable Care Act. Maryland small business job creators with fewer than 50 employees that choose to offer paid sick leave will be eligible for tax relief incentives closely modeled after the top recommendation of the Augustine Commission, a bipartisan panel that identified strategies to improve Maryland's business climate. These small business owners will be able to exempt the first $20,000 of their income from taxes. The legislation will also provide protection for seasonal industries by exempting workers employed for less than 120 days in a 12-month period. Governor Hogan is committed to giving Maryland workers the support they need without interfering with the policies of small businesses or putting jobs at risk. The Hogan administration's common sense proposal would institute a fair and flexible statewide policy that would apply to all 24 jurisdictions and supersede existing policies to ensure consistency and ease of compliance for job creators across the state.  | ||||||
| Regulated Firearm Purchase Application Process Goes On-Line January 1st Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST  Beginning January 1, 2017, persons applying to purchase a regulated firearm in Maryland will conduct the entire process on-line via the Maryland State Police Licensing Portal. This includes completing the application forms and paying the required application fee. Individuals will be able to apply on-line using a computer, tablet, or mobile phone, regardless of the operating system. All current web browsers are also supported by the new system. Currently, a person wishing to purchase a regulated firearm must complete the required Form 77R and the related paperwork by hand. This paperwork is submitted to a firearms dealer or State Police barrack and then forwarded to the Maryland State Police Licensing Division, where background checks are conducted to ensure the applicant is not prohibited from purchasing a regulated firearm. Little has changed in the questions and forms being completed as part of the purchase application process. Applicants will continue to provide the same information currently required on the Form 77R. There will be two differences in the new process. First, every applicant will need an email account. This will enable the applicant to receive follow-up and reminder correspondence from the State Police Licensing Division. Second, submission of the electronic application requires the use of a credit or debit card. All transactions with the Licensing Division regarding regulated firearm purchases will be done by credit or debit card only, beginning January 1, 2017. The $10 application fee will remain the same. When the on-line application is completed by a firearm dealer or barrack, it will be submitted electronically to the State Police Licensing Division, rather than being mailed or faxed as has been done in the past. The electronic submission of the completed form by the dealer or barrack will begin the seven-day waiting period required by law, during which the required background checks are conducted to determine if the applicant is prohibited from purchasing a regulated firearm. Maryland State Police Licensing Division staff solicited input, advice and feedback from firearms dealers regarding the design of the new Licensing Portal application process. It is believed this may be the first time Maryland firearms dealers have been included in a focus group that had direct input on the design and work flow of a system related to the state's firearms purchasing process. The project team worked hard to emphasize to firearms dealers that this new process was intended to be developed with their involvement. In addition to designing, documenting and testing the on-line system, Maryland State Police Licensing Division personnel have been busy conducting training in the new process. Seminars for firearm dealers have been conducted throughout the state, with more than 300 dealers attending. Training has been provided to State Police barrack duty officers who most often deal with secondary sales of regulated firearms that must also go through the background check process and to allied law enforcement agency personnel who perform certain tasks related to regulated firearm transfers. Licensing Division personnel developed posters and information cards alerting consumers to the pending automation. Those publicity items were delivered in-person to each dealer in the state in an effort to have face-to-face interaction with dealers about the new process and answer any questions they had. The Licensing Division project team has also developed a computer lab where, beginning in mid-December, firearms dealers will be able to have hands-on experience with the new automation system and receive more personal training. Time in the computer lab must be scheduled in advance with the Licensing Division. The new regulated firearm purchase procedure has nothing to do with the requirement in Maryland to have a handgun qualification license (HQL) or approved HQL exemption before beginning the process to purchase a regulated firearm. The handgun qualification license application process has been an on-line procedure since it became law in Maryland in the fall of 2013. The goal of the automated 77R application process is to increase the ease and efficiency of purchasing a regulated firearm in Maryland. The on-line completion of forms will eliminate legibility issues and decrease data processing errors. The Maryland State Police Licensing Division staff is continuing their efforts to promptly approve those eligible to purchase regulated firearms, while ensuring those prohibited by law are not approved to complete the purchase process. Further information is available by clicking on 'Licensing Division,' on the Maryland State Police website at mdsp.maryland.gov.  | ||||||
| NY Mag: Women Distraught Over Trump Are Cutting Off Their Hair Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST New York magazine reported Monday that many women in Washington D.C. are dealing with President-elect Donald Trump's victory by cutting or dying their hair.

| GOP Congressman To Introduce National Conceal Carry Bill After Trump Swear In Posted: 11 Dec 2016 03:00 AM PST Republican Congressman Richard Hudson from North Carolina is set to introduce national concealed carry legislation for the next congress after Donald Trump is sworn in as president. The bill, known as the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, will allow a person with a concealed carry permit in one state to carry a handgun in any other state that permits residents to conceal carry, as long as the person is not banned from possessing or transporting a firearm under federal law, The Daily Caller has learned. You can read the full bill here. "Our Second Amendment right doesn't disappear when we cross state lines, and I plan to introduce legislation in the first days of the 115th Congress to guarantee that. The Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017 is a common sense bill to provide law-abiding citizens the right to conceal carry and travel freely between states without worrying about conflicting state codes or onerous civil suits," Rep. Hudson told The Daily Caller. "As a member of President-elect Trump's Second Amendment Coalition, I look forward to working with the administration to advance policies that support and protect our right to keep and bear arms." Congressman Hudson introduced a similar bill in February 2015 which never made it out of the House. More  | ||||||
