Feds: No Proof That ‘Breathometer’ Blood Alcohol Content Test Actually Works

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:00 PM PST

The Breathometer promised to be a pocket-sized law-enforcement-grade device that could be used to accurately measure blood alcohol levels to determine if the user is sober enough to drive. It's a good enough idea that it won over the panel on Shark Tank, but according to federal regulators, the only thing you can definitely say about this device is that it does fit in your pocket.

Why the Mediterranean diet is still the best way to lose weight

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 07:00 PM PST

The diet industry is riddled with fads — from gluten-free to intermittent fasting to juice cleanses. But one popular healthy eating plan has been above the trends for decades, eschewing extremes for a moderate, doable approach: the Mediterranean diet.

Last month, US News and World Report named the diet one of the easiest to follow, and the second-best diet overall. It's no wonder. Over the past several years, research has attributed a variety of heart-healthy, brain-boosting benefits to the eating plan. And three of the seven buzzy "Blue Zones" — communities around the world where residents live particularly long and healthy lives — are in the Mediterranean region.

The version of the diet familiar to most Americans first appeared as a set of guidelines presented by the World Health Organization, Harvard School of Public Health and nutrition nonprofit Oldways in 1993. It was based on the diets of Greece — particularly its largest island, Crete — and Southern Italy in the early 1960s, because of the populations' high life expectancy and low rates of heart disease and certain cancers at the time.

The diet has since morphed to fit different needs — there's a Mediterranean diet for diabetes and another to fight cancer, for example, and many clinics have their own versions — as well as Americans' diversifying palates.

Rep. Cummings to federal employees: Call me

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:30 PM PST

Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is encouraging federal employees to reach out to Congress if they are alarmed by the Trump administration's policies.

"I want to make sure all of those federal employees who have anything they want to say to Congress, because there is some confusion as to whether they can talk to us, I'm telling you the law protects you and I will do every single thing in my power to make sure you're protected," the Maryland Democrat said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Wednesday.

Use of Nontoxic Ammunition and Fishing Tackle

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 05:00 PM PST

United States Department of the Interior

DIRECTOR'S ORDER NO. 219

Subject: USE OF NONTOXIC AMMUNITION AND FISHING TACKLE

Sec. 1 What is the purpose of this Order? The purpose of this Order is to establish procedures and a timeline for expanding the use of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle on Service lands, waters, and facilities and for certain types of hunting and fishing regulated by the Service outside of Service lands, waters, and facilities.

Sec. 2 What is the legal authority for this Order?

a.       Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668a-d).

b.       Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703-712).

c.         National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of 1966, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 668dd-668ee).

d.         National Wildlife Refuge Recreation Act (16 U.S.C. 460k-460k-4).

e.         Endangered Species Act (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).

f.                 Fish and Wildlife Act 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a-742j).

g.         Migratory Bird Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 715-715r).

h.         Emergency Wetlands Resources Act of 1986 (16 U.S.C. § 3901b, 100 Stat. 3583).

Sec. 3 What is the Service's overall policy? It is the Service's policy to:

a.             Require the use of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle to the fullest extent practicable for all activities on Service lands, waters, and facilities by January 2022, except as needed for law enforcement or health and safety uses, as provided for in policy.

b.             Collaborate with state fish and wildlife agencies in implementing this policy.

Sec. 4 What are the effects of lead on fish or wildlife health?

a.             Exposure to lead ammunition and fishing tackle has resulted in harmful effects to fish and wildlife species. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, lead poisoning is atoxicosis caused by the absorption of hazardous levels of lead in body tissues. Ingested lead pellets from shotgun shells have been a common source of lead poisoning in birds. The Service recognized the problem of avian exposure to lead shot used for waterfowl hunting and enacted restrictions in 1991 and hunting and waterfowl populations have thrived since.

b.             The use of lead ammunition continues for other forms of hunting, presenting an ongoing risk to upland or terrestrial migratory birds and other species that ingest spent shot directly from the ground or as a result of predating or scavenging carcasses that have been killed with lead ammunition and left in the field. Many states have enacted nontoxic shot and ammunition requirements to address this concern.

c.              Ingestion of lead fishing sinkers and other fishing tackle have been documented in waterbirds. Six states currently restrict the use of lead fishing tackle under certain circumstances to protect wildlife health.

Sec. 5 What steps will the Service take to phase in the use of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle?

a.             The Service will continue to support targeted research to understand the human, fish, and wildlife health benefits of using nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle.

b.             The Service will continue to work with states and other partners on education efforts regarding the benefits and effectiveness of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle.

c.              To ensure the public experiences a consistent approach to nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle requirements, over the next 24 months, each Regional Director, in coordination with relevant Assistant Directors, should work with individual states, regional state fish and wildlife associations, and tribes to identify opportunities to expand existing state, Federal, or tribal requirements for use of nontoxic ammunition and fishing tackle on Service lands, waters and facilities.

                           i.       Where states have enacted nontoxic ammunition or fishing tackle requirements for certain forms of hunting and fishing on state lands such requirements should be expanded to national wildlife refuges in those states through amendments to state or Service regulations, as appropriate.

                         ii.       Where states have enacted nontoxic ammunition or fishing tackle requirements for certain forms of hunting and fishing that apply to state, private, and Federal lands throughout their states, Regions should ensure these requirements are enacted and enforced on Service lands, waters, and facilities in those states.

                        iii.       Where individual Federal land units administered by other Federal agencies including the National Park Service, the National Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Department of Defense, or other agencies, have enacted requirements for the use of nontoxic ammunition or fishing tackle, Regions should adopt such requirements on Service lands, waters and facilities in the same states as those units through amendments to Service hunting and fishing regulations, as appropriate.

                        iv.       Where individual tribes have enacted requirements for the use of nontoxic ammunition or fishing tackle, the Regions should adopt such requirements on Service lands, waters and facilities in the same states as those tribal lands through amendments to Service hunting and fishing regulations, in consultation with the appropriate tribe and state.

d.    When available information indicates negative impacts of lead ammunition or fish tackle on sensitive, vulnerable or Service trust resources, the appropriate Regional Director, in coordination with the appropriate Assistant Director(s), will take steps to expeditiously require the use of nontoxic ammunition or fishing tackle to the fullest extent practical under Service jurisdiction to benefit such species or resources.

e.    The Assistant Director, Migratory Birds, in consultation with National Flyway Councils and individual states, will establish a process to phase in a requirement for the use of nontoxic ammunition for recreational hunting of mourning doves and other upland game birds.

Sec. 6 When is this Order effective? This Order is effective immediately. It remains in effect until we incorporate it into the Fish and Wildlife Service Manual, or until we amend, supersede, or revoke it, whichever comes first. If we do not amend, supersede, or revoke it, the provisions of this Order will terminate on July 31, 2018.

                                                                       
                                               /sgd/ Daniel M. Ashe
                                                            DIRECTOR

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 04:00 PM PST

Barack Obama has spent eight years doing everything he can to make Israel weaker, while trying to give legitimacy to Palestinian terrorists. Thankfully, Obama is out of office now, and Donald Trump has vowed to be more friendly towards Israel. And he's just made a decision that shows he's taking that promise seriously.

It has been announced that Trump will be moving the United States embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Gun Rights Across America Give PERFECT Response To Woman’s “Same Rights As Guns” Sign!

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 03:00 PM PST

When women were questioned at the Million Woman March this weekend on why they were protesting, many bordered on incoherent. Very few could tell you exactly why they were protesting other than they hate President Trump and fear him. Some mumbled about women's rights and losing them… some parroted they want equality. First of all, Trump hasn't taken any rights away from women. His Cabinet has a number of high profile women in it and in his business there are many there that are upper level as well. They are paid on the same level as men, which you can't say for the Democrats. So, I also don't see how equality is an issue here. I'm still trying to grasp exactly why they marched in the first place.

Gun Rights Across America gave the perfect response to all this nonsense. They posted on their Facebook page a pic of a woman holding up a sign that says: "I Dream Women Will One Day Have The Same Rights As Guns." This woman wasn't at the Million Woman March, but she might as well have been there… the sentiments are the same. The same stupidity applies. The response is classic as you will see below and showcases how ridiculous these protesters are.

From Young Conservatives:

Media interviewed some of the women at the Women's March on Saturday.

Many said they were fighting for equality, that they were fighting for their rights.

Gun Rights For America posted a picture of this woman today.

She was not part of the march, but seems to raise a similar question.

Salisbury Adopts Citywide Bike Network Plan

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 02:55 PM PST

Salisbury – Mayor Jake Day is pleased to announce the City Council's approval of the Salisbury Bicycle Network Plan. This plan, which strategically increases the number of bike lanes across Salisbury, is the product of community and professional collaboration.

Bike lanes can already be seen on Riverside Drive, Camden Avenue, and Mount Hermon Road within the City. Roads receiving higher priority for the installation of new bike lanes in this plan are: East College Avenue, West College Avenue, South Division Street, Long Avenue, Glen Avenue, Beaglin Park Drive, East Main Street, West Main Street, Fitzwater Street, and Parsons Road, as well as a rail trail from Fruitland to Delmar.

Constructing bike lanes across Salisbury is expected to boost long-term economic growth for the City and its businesses. Across America, bike lanes have been shown to increase property values and enhance sales for businesses which border them.

A 2012 study by the American Public Health Association shows that the more bike lanes within a municipality, the safer roads are for bikers, walkers, and drivers—especially in areas where high volume traffic is common. Non-traditional and traditional commuters alike experience safer, easier commutes.

Mayor Day said, "When you consider the positive economic impact of increased bicycle traffic on top of the safety benefits, you can easily see why cycling should be a priority for any community that's looking to succeed – and we are that community."

New implantable drug helps fight opioid epidemic

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 02:30 PM PST

BALTIMORE —A new implantable drug is helping fight the opioid-addiction epidemic.

Maryland state officials call it a grim trend: 920 fatal opioid overdoses in just the first six months of this year.

Nick Nowack is about to undergo a life-changing procedure to treat his opioid addiction. Nowak's descent into hell started in his early 20s, the way it has for so many others.

"I got rear-ended and was prescribed Percocet," Nowack said. "I went from taking them for back pain to just thinking, 'Oh, when I take them, it makes me feel good, extra energized.' Then (I would) take some more."

Things snowballed out of control over the next several years until he got himself into treatment.

HEADS UP: Main Stream Media Is Using Trickery Again

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 02:15 PM PST

The Main Stream Media is trying to trick the American people into believing members of President Trumps Cabinet are voting in TWO different states. HOWEVER, be careful what you read. 

Their headlines read: 

CNN: Trump cabinet nominee Steven Mnuchin is also registered to vote in two states 

MSN: Steve Bannon registered to vote in two states despite Trump's cries of 'voter fraud'

Ladies & Gentlemen, even I am registered to vote in two different states. Why, because the Liberals refuse to participate in PURGING voter registration lists. Heck, Salisbury/Wicomico County lists haven't been purged in almost 20 years!

Their headlines CLEARLY do NOT state that these people actually voted in two states, just that they are registered in two states. The MSM is DESPERATE and completely full of crap. You need to cut them off, seriously. This is way out of control.

Vanishing Ocean City With Bunk Mann

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 01:30 PM PST

Postmarked Aug. 2, 1927, this postcard illustrates how much Ocean City has changed in 90 years.

The Boardwalk was raised far above the beach in those days and on hot days bathers would seek shade under it. Some would plan a picnic lunch under the Boardwalk with the smell of creosote, damp wood and wet sand a luncheon companion.

The beach was narrow and waves reached almost to the Boardwalk on high tide. When storms rolled up the coast, the beach would literally disappear. The beach would remain narrow until the creation of the Inlet in 1933 and the construction of the north jetty allowed sand to build up on the south end of town.

The view above looks north from N. 1st Street. The tower in the background marked the site of the Plimhimmon Hotel while the tower in the foreground belonged to the Rideau. Neither of these historic hotels exist today. The suits worn by the bathers were typical of that era.

Trump Ends U.S. Funding of Overseas Abortions

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 01:00 PM PST

This is certainly reassuring for those of us who were alarmed by Trump's praise for Planned Parenthood during the primaries. Taxpayers will no longer be forced to fund abortions overseas:

The so-called Mexico City policy, established by Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1984, blocks federal funding for international family planning charities that provide abortions or "promote" the procedure by providing patients with information about it, including by offering referrals to abortion providers. …

President Obama rescinded the policy when he took office in 2009.

This morning Trump signed an executive order rescinding Obama's rescindment of the policy. Every step toward erasing the Moonbat Messiah's baleful legacy is in the right direction.

Trump's ban could impact foreign organizations like the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPFF), which provides family planning services in more than 180 countries. …

The 2016 U.S. budget included $607.5 million in funding for reproductive health internationally, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion…

Owner of limo torched in DC says insurance unlikely to pay

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 12:30 PM PST

WASHINGTON (AP) — Insurance likely won't cover the damage to a limousine set on fire during an Inauguration Day protest in Washington, the limo company president says.

Muhammad Ashraf, the president of the Virginia-based Nationwide Chauffeured Services, said Monday that replacing the car could cost tens of thousands of dollars. Insurance would cover vandalism but may not cover his situation because the car was damaged in a riot, he said.

More than 230 people were arrested after self-described anti-capitalists began breaking the windows of businesses, the limo and an emergency vehicle Friday, the day of President Donald Trump's inauguration. Court paperwork says the group did more than $100,000 in damage.

JUST IN: Trump moves to build border wall, cut sanctuary city funds

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 12:09 PM PST

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump moved aggressively to tighten the nation's immigration policies Wednesday, signing executive actions to jumpstart construction of a U.S.-Mexico border wall and block federal grants from immigrant-protecting "sanctuary cities."

"We've been talking about this right from the beginning," Trump said during a brief signing ceremony at the Department of Homeland Security.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the White House had not circulated copies of the documents or briefed reporters on the details, as has been typical practice in past administrations. But Trump cast his actions as fulfillment of his campaign pledge to enact hard-line immigration measures, including construction of a wall paid for by Mexico. U.S. taxpayers are expected to pay for the upfront costs, though Trump continues to assert that Mexico will reimburse the money through unspecified means.

Dow Jones hits 20,000

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 12:01 PM PST

The Dow Jones Industrial Average cracked 20,000 as markets opened Wednesday, breaching a psychologically significant barrier just days after President Trump took office.

The stock market indicator hit the 20,000 mark partly in response to strong corporate earnings reports. Bond prices also fell, as investors began to anticipate that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates at a faster clip in response to the good jobs news.

The Mexican peso also fell after Trump tweeted Tuesday evening about new border security measures and a wall on the southern border.

Stocks jumped after Trump won the presidency Nov. 8. The Dow Jones is up roughly 9 percent since then, led by bank stocks.

Enviromoonbat Killed by SUV While Hiking Barefoot Across America to Save Planet

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 12:00 PM PST

Looks like moonbats could be right about SUVs; they really are a menace — at least, they are to fools who goof off along the edges of highways:

A man who was hiking across America barefoot on the side of highways to 'save the earth' was struck by a Buick SUV and died Saturday.

Mark Baumer, 33, began his shoeless trek in October. His journey aimed to raise awareness and funds for the FANG Collective, a Rhode Island organization that supports nonviolent resistance to the natural gas industry.

Natural gas is abundant and clean. Moonbats oppose it anyway. They would prefer for us to shiver in the dark rather than make use of cost-efficient energy resources. Bird-chopping windmills are okay though.

Florida Highway Patrol confirmed Baumer was hit on the side of Highway 90 in Walton County. He was pronounced dead on the scene during the 101st day of his trip.

Small wonder he got hit:

Two-Time Purple Heart Recipient Marine Proposes To Girlfriend At Trump Inauguration Ball

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 11:00 AM PST

This is an incredibly moving and happy story. A two-time Purple Heart recipient who is a Marine, chose Donald Trump's 'Armed Forces Ball' to propose to his girl. As the First Family blew kisses from the stage and the First Couple danced before a mostly military audience, Shane Kruchten proposed to Reena Norville. She of course said yes with tears in her eyes. It's an impressive way to make your whole life great again.

Kruchen has seen it all pretty much. He was deployed to Iraq twice. Both times he returned stateside with life-threatening injuries. "Most people can't say they spent their 18th, 20th, and 21st birthdays all in a hospital recovering from war wounds," he quipped as his new fiancé took his hand. But that's not all this man has faced down… he deals with alcoholism, has beaten back drug abuse and has tried to take his own life after leaving the service. But Reena saved him from his demons and from himself. Now they will be together for good as man and wife.

State Prosecutor Alleges Mayor Pugh Took Out Improper Loan For Campaign

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 10:30 AM PST

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore's first truly competitive mayoral race in years lead to a last-minute campaign rush for cash. The state prosecutor is looking to an improper loan taken out by Mayor Catherine Pugh.

With big spending for ads with no incumbent, and a showdown with former mayor Sheila Dixon, big money came pouring into Catherine Pugh's campaign, including $315,000 dollars in loans.

Our media partner, The Baltimore Sun, reports that one loan, made just six days before the primary, is now under investigation by the state prosecutor. It's the latest scandal involving Pugh's campaign's finances.

Pugh herself is not accused of doing anything wrong and earlier this month spoke about her fundraising.

Surrounded By ANGRY Liberals, Black Trump Supporter SILENCES Them With The TRUTH!

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 10:00 AM PST

Big Joe is THE MAN!

You see him talking, you hear his words…and they make so much sense!

The best part about this is that all his 'common sense' and 'wisdom of truth' is being shared right smack dab in the middle of an ENTIRE CITY of liberals who are there to protest EVERYTHING he stands for!

However, not only is he speaking the truth in the middle of this liberal frenzy…they are even verbally attacking him and he SILENCES them…they give up!

Big Joe… won't be silenced by their hatred or there ignorance! Folks, this is the first time I have ever seen logic and common sense beat out 'stupid' on it's own stomping grounds!

Typically when you choose to engage with stupid, it drags you down to it's level and beats you with experience…not this time. The word EPIC, does not even begin to describe what Big Joe just accomplished all by himself…

…but don't take my word for it. Witness this sweet sweet moment for yourselves! Watch it clear through to the end…that is the only way you will not only see him silence them, but also a crowd of them gathering around him to listen to what he has to say!

Angry Feminist Who Wants Same Rights As Guns Gets LEVELED With EPIC Response!

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:53 AM PST

Boy this freaking Women's March has really caused an awful lot of …. stupid. Well, Obama's America has already proven to be the nesting place for stupidity and ignorance, but this March? Well it's just brought the stupid to a whole new level… am I alone on this thought?

It's just so… what's the word? Insufferable.

Now, let me make my point.

Look at this picture. The woman is holding up a sign that says:

"I dream women will one day have the same rights as guns."

See what I mean? Stupid.

However, this woman's attempt at being witty, totally backfired on her pretty darn badly. Hindsight on this one is going to drop kick her butt to Timbuktu. I have no idea where that is, but it sounds far far away from here.

Gun rights Across America has responded…

Concealed Handgun Owner Shoots Armed Robber

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:45 AM PST

A man with a concealed handgun shot an armed robber who killed a good Samaritan during a confrontation at a San Antonio mall on Sunday, reports the Austin American-Statesman.

The man killed was 42-year-old Jonathan Murphy, who was unarmed but tried to stop two robbers outside of a jewelry store. The man with the concealed weapon saw the shooting and fired at one of the robbers, wounding him. His name was not released. Neither were the names of the robbers.

"It was obvious it was a very dangerous situation and that lives were being threatened and (the two robbers) were armed with weapons and … the good Samaritan with the (concealed handgun) license could have been injured as well," said Doug Greene, a San Antonio police spokesman. "We just ask people to use their best judgment when they get into situations like this."

Murphy was at the jewelry store with his wife when the robbery happened. He was killed and six others were injured in the mall shooting, which was first reported at 3:26 p.m.

Pope Tells Marchers: Protect Life‘from the Moment of Conception’

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:37 AM PST

Just days before the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Pope Francis has sent a message of support to the March for Life taking place in Paris, France, on Sunday.

"The Church must never tire of being an advocate for life and must not neglect to proclaim that human life is to be protected unconditionally from the moment of conception until natural death," the Pope's message said.

Pope Francis has been a vocal critic of the abortion industry, comparing it to King Herod'sslaughter of the innocents at the time of Jesus, and accusing the abortion lobby of working with a Mafia-like mentality that seeks to eliminate those who get in one's way.

In his message to pro-life marchers, Francis expressed his solidarity with their efforts and urged them to continue to proclaim the value of human life.

"Beyond this legitimate manifestation in defense of human life, the Holy Father encourages participants in the March for Life to work tirelessly for the building of a civilization of love and a culture of life," said the message, which was sent through the Apostolic Nuncio to France, Archbishop Luigi Ventura.

Maryland Country Club Welcomes Obama Despite Disagreement

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:30 AM PST

Michelle and Barack Obama were reportedly invited to join an exclusive club in Maryland, despite backlash from some members who disagreed with the former president's policies on Israel.

A group of Jewish members at The Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland had objected to giving Obama free membership to the club, feeling that his recent decision to abstain from the United Nations Security Council vote put Israel in danger.

"[Obama] has created a situation in which Israel's very existence is weakened and possibly threatened," said Faith Goldstein, a member at the club. "He is not welcome at Woodmont," she reportedly wrote.

But the president of the club had different views, saying they welcome people of all political views.

"In the current deeply polarized political environment," Barry Forman, the club's president, said according to CBS. "It is all the more important that Woodmont be a place where people of varying views and beliefs can enjoy fellowship and recreation in a relaxed environment. Given our legacy, it is regrettable that we have now been portrayed as unwelcoming and intolerant, because that is not who we are."

Mainstream Media Angered After NY Post, Newsmax Get First Questions at Trump WH Presser

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:23 AM PST

Traditional media outlets had to wait their turn as the more conservative-leaning New York Post and Christian Broadcasting Network got the first three questions at Sean Spicer's first White House daily news briefing on Monday.

President Donald Trump's press secretary first called on the New York Post's Daniel Halper, who also is author of the book "Clinton, Inc.: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine."

The next two questions came from the CBN News, founded by conservative Christian television evangelist Pat Robertson.

Later in the press conference, Spicer took a question from Newsmax's White House correspondent and chief political columnist John Gizzi.

Fake News About "Love" For Obamacare?

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:15 AM PST

I begin to think maybe Trump is on to something with his Fake News schtick. Which isn't schtick at all in terms of the obvious, egregious bias of what is styled "mainstream" media outlets such as CNN (back in the '90s, the letters were said to stand for Clinton News Network).

But what Trump means is "news" that is not stilted but upended. Manufactured to present the outright wrong as the absolutely certain. And not on account of incompetence, either.

The best example being Trump's victory itself.

In lockstep, the "mainstream" media predicted a rout. Presented ominous pie charts and graphs and polls of many kinds purporting double digit leads in key states for… Hillary.

Who ended up losing.

This is more serious than the usual weather man 50 percent track record of accurately predicting whether it's going to snow tomorrow. When it's unanimous that Trump – whom the people delivering the pie charts and graphs and exit polls all obviously loathe – is "going to lose" and yet wins anyhow, which is more likely? That all these people simply got it wrong in exactly the same way? Or that they were purposely trying to suppress the real news and stilt the outcome along lines they desired?

Hillary's Next Move: Writing? Policy? Boosting Other Candidates?

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:07 AM PST

As President Donald Trump settles into the Oval Office that Hillary Clinton had hoped to occupy herself, the Democratic nominee is said by friends to be figuring out her next move, Gabriel Debenedetti wrote at Politico.

Though Clinton has been urged to run for mayor of New York against incumbent fellow Democrat Bill de Blasio, that is not considered likely.

Instead, the 69-year-old former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state might join her husband, former President Bill Clinton, in working to help Democratic candidates across the country.

"I would be surprised [to see Bill Clinton step away from politics] only because he has so many friends who are still involved, who he's worked with for so many years," Skip Rutherford, dean of the University of Arkansas' Clinton School of Public Service and founding president of the Clinton Foundation, told Politico. "Many of the people who are involved in the political world got their starts in the Clinton world, so there's a whole base of people who are connected to both Clintons."

Gannett announced more layoffs at The Record, community newspapers

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 09:00 AM PST

A little more than two months after Gannett cut 130 jobs from The Record and its affiliated community newspapers, the company announced Monday that another 141 workers will let go, an announcement on NorthJersey.com said.

Employees will be notified by the end of the week of the layoffs, the report said.

North Jersey Media Group president Nancy A. Meyer described the decision to further downsize as "difficult."

Gannett, the nation's largest newspaper chain, bought NorthJersey.com, the Record and dozens of weeklies for about $40 million in July.

In New Jersey, Gannett owns The Record, the Asbury Park Press, the Courier-Post, the Home News Tribune, the Courier-News, the Daily Record and the Daily Journal.

Ben Carson easily approved for HUD role in Senate committee

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 08:45 AM PST

Three of President Trump's nominees to serve in his Cabinet advanced in the Senate on Tuesday: Ben Carson to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Wilbur Ross to lead the Commerce Department, and Elaine Chao to lead the Department of Transportation.

Carson in particular had been criticized by Democrats for having no background on housing issues. But he was approved in a unanimous voice vote nonetheless at the Senate Banking Committee.

"Dr. Carson has achieved a great deal of success during his impressive and accomplished career, and I was encouraged by his recent testimony before the committee," said Chairman Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, after the vote. "He is committed to carrying forth the mandate of HUD and learning more from people directly affected by HUD policies. Now that his nomination has been voted favorably out of the committee, it is my hope that the full senate will follow suit in a timely manner."

Moments later, both Ross and Chao were approved unanimously by the Senate Commerce Committee.

Trump Threatens To "Send In The Feds" If Chicago "Doesn't Fix This Horrible Carnage"

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 08:15 AM PST

President Trump has seen the data and threatens to "send in the Feds"...
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump
If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!

As we detailed earlier, those Chicagoans hoping that 2017 would bring with it a new era of peace and civility among residents after the city suffered an incredibly violent 2016 in which homicides claimed the lives of over 800 people, it may be time to reset those expectations.  So far in 2017, Chicago is on track to record  the most violent opening month of the past two decades, even exceeding the extremely violent 2016 levels.
According to the Chicago Tribune, at least 228 people have already been shot in 2017, compared to 216 during the same period last year, with 44 homicides per data from HeyJackAss!.

A Viewer Writes: Wicomico County Housing Authority

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 08:00 AM PST

I stumbled upon this, and maybe viewers know the answer.
There are boarded up homes, (appears they are all owned by 
Wicomico County Housing Authority) all over Fruitland and Salisbury.
We stumbled upon some on Davis St, Grace St, Off Hammond St, etc.
Why? I am told they have been like that for years.
If I was a citizen and had a vacant boarded up home would that be legal?
Didn't Ireton start a humiliation campaign against homeowners for this?
How is this legal, fair or safe? Talk about bringing down a neighborhood's value.
Why is the county not held to the same standards the citizens are?
You can find these on google maps.
Just to name a few of the many:
709 Grace St
145 Davis St
147 Davis St
700 Jefferson St

Paul Craig Roberts Asks "Are Americans Racists?"

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 07:45 AM PST

"Racist" is the favorite epithet of the left. Every white person (except leftists) is a racist by definition. As we are defined as racists based on our skin color, I am puzzled why we are called racists a second, third, and fourth time due to specific acts, such as favoring the enforcement of immigration laws. For example, President Donald Trump says he is going to enforce the immigration laws. For the left this is proof that Trump has put on the White Sheet and joined the KKK.

The left doesn't say what a president is who does not enforce the laws on the books. But let's look at this from the standpoint of the immigration laws themselves. In 1965 a bill passed by the "racist" Congress and signed by the "racist" President Lyndon Johnson completely changed the racial composition of US legal immigration.

In 1960 75% of US legal immigration was European, 5% was Asian, and 19% was from Americas (Mexico, Central and South America and Caribbean Islands).

In 2013 10% of legal immigrants were European, 30% were Asian, 55% were from Americas, and 5% from Africa.

The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act is a very strange law for racists to have enacted. Would racists pass a law, which has been on the books for 52 years, that fundamentally transformed the racial profile of the US by limiting white immigration, thereby ultimately consigning whites to minority status?

We could say the racists did not know what they were doing, or thought they were doing something else. However, the results have been obvious at least since 1980, and the law is still on the books.

Rising Sea Levels Threaten Md. Coastlines

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 07:30 AM PST

BALTIMORE (WJZ)– A new warning that rising waters in the Chesapeake could threaten Maryland's coastline in just a few decades. On Tuesday, a new report says it could be worse than people first imagined.

NOAA believes sea levels could increase by as much as 8 feet within 8 decades. That may not seem like a lot, but 6 million Americans, including Marylanders, could be displaced.

The report says the northeast has a high risk. Prominently displayed on the front page was Ocean City, Maryland.

At best, levels could rise by a foot, but the worst case scenario means levels could creep upwards of 8 feet by the year 2100.

Groups like Environment Maryland have lobbied the governor to take action now.

A Message From Ellen Sauerbrey: About That March. . .

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 07:15 AM PST

The Women's March on Washington was not a grassroots movement in any sense of the word.  It is a well organized, well paid operation run by the ultimate puppet master, George Soros.   Soros funded over 50 organizations partnering and participating in the March for Women's Rights.  Part of that funding went straight into the protesters pockets.  One of the Soros grantees and a march "partner" is the Arab-American Association of New York, whose executive director, Linda Sarsour was one of the March's four organizers.  A delegate to the Democrat National Convention,  Sarsour advocates Sharia Law which is responsible for the oppression of women's rights around the globe.  While I am sure many of the women who attended the march are well meaning,  I believe in large measure they were used by a radical fringe. 

About That March. . . 
Gary Bauer…. Campaign for Working Families

For all its hype, the Women's March on Washington was a massive left-wing temper tantrum. It was an embarrassing display of obscene immaturity. [WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES]

But here's something you may not know: One of the national co-chairs of the march, Linda Sarsour, is an advocate of Sharia law. 
Sarsour once tweeted, "You'll know when you're living under Sharia law if suddenly all your loans and credit cards become interest free. Sounds nice, doesn't it?" She has also defended the Saudi regime, which does not allow women to drive. 

Sarsour also has terrorist connections. The New York Times reported in 2012 that "Members of her family had been arrested on accusations of supporting Hamas." The Daily Caller reports that last month she posed for pictures with an ex-Hamas operative.
Irony does not begin to describe millions of women marching for so-called "women's rights" under the leadership of a woman who is a defender of fundamentalist Islam, which is oppressing women all over the world. 
I first noticed something odd about the march when I saw interspersed among the foul, vulgar signs that some women (and even children) were holding, other signs that read, "Free Birth Control, Free Palestine" or some variant. 

We have reported for years on the bizarre alliance between the radical left and radical Islam. It is the continuation of what we have seen on university campuses, where young socialists make common cause with Palestinian student groups to fight and harass conservative students and those who support the U.S./Israeli alliance. 

We have seen it in Europe where socialist and green parties united with Muslim voting blocs in London to elect the first Muslim mayor of a European capital. We have seen it in the Black Lives Matter movement, where Palestinian activists exploited the Ferguson riots and in a Black Lives Matter platform that accused Israel of genocide.

This is a dangerous and formidable alliance, and something that open border Republicans in Congress should ponder when they consider what our immigration policies should be.

Globalization's Reality - World Trade Has Increased By Less Than 1% Annually In The Last Decade

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 07:00 AM PST

There are fears that the world is on the precipice of turning back the clock on globalization. In some ways, the case can be made globalization has been retreating since the financial crisis.

One of the strongest supporting data points of that argument is world trade data.

According to the CPB World Trade Monitor, the value of world exports (volume * price) has increased by less than 1% annually since making a high on 7/31/2007 compared to more than a 5% annualized growth rate since 1991 (beginning of the data series).

If we look at just volume data, the story doesn't improve very much.

World export volume has increased at less than 1.5% annually since 7/31/2007. This is about 1/3 of the annual growth rate world export volumes has increased by since 1991.

Even with extraordinary global monetary easing in the post financial crisis world, world trade has been unable to find the extra gear it hit during the pre-crisis era.

So next time the mainstream media, economists, and liberal left blame Trump for collapsing world trade, let's look in that rear-view mirror of reality... and see what global trade did during Obama's "free trade is awesome" reign.

David Rosenberg: "The Travesty Is We Have 23.5 Million Americans Aged 25-To-54 Outside The Labor Force"

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:53 AM PST

Some observations on recent negative trends in productivity, employment mismatch, and labor training and education from the increasingly more bearish David Rosenberg, who notes that the Trump's proposed policies may end up helping growth on the margins, but fail to focus on what is really important, making tens of millions of US workers competitive and qualified for today's jobs market.

I don't think we have a productivity problem — in fact, the demise of productivity is vastly overstated and that is because the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is likely vastly overstating labor input, and I'm talking here about how hours worked are estimated.

But the real travesty, and what I think deserves top priority (but I don't see it), is that we have, in addition to 7.5 million officially unemployed (a number that is closer to 15 million when all the hidden unemployment is accounted for), 23.5 million Americans aged 25-to-54 who reside outside the confines of the labor force.

Hayward: Trump’s ‘Nationalist’ Outreach–‘Black or Brown or White, We All Bleed the Same Red Blood of Patriots’

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:45 AM PST

The great debate over what "nationalism" means will surely be filled by the closing passage of President Donald Trump's inaugural speech:

A new national pride will stir ourselves, lift our sights and heal our divisions. It's time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget, that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

We all enjoy the same glorious freedoms and we all salute the same great American flag.

And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty creator.

So to all Americans in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored again. Your voice, your hopes and your dreams will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Together we will make America strong again, we will make America wealthy again, we will make America proud again, we will make America safe again.

And, yes, together we will make America great again.

In Speech to the CIA, Trump Offers to Build Them a Room Without Columns: ‘Do You Understand That?’

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:37 AM PST

At the end of Trump's speech to a room filled with 400 employees of the CIA, Trump said, rather cryptically, that maybe he'd build them a bigger room 'by someone who knows how to build and we won't have columns, do you understand that?'

For those of you who are fucking retards and haven't the slightest clue what that could mean, I suggest you read up on the fifth columntheories -- which are essentially the existence of a shadow government.

A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group—such as a nation or a besieged city—from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or nation. The activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine. Forces gathered in secret can mobilize openly to assist an external attack. This term is also extended to organized actions by military personnel. Clandestine fifth column activities can involve acts of sabotage, disinformation, or espionage executed within defense lines by secret sympathizers with an external force.

Indeed. A new room, built by a capable architect, without columns, sounds awfully good to me.

Trump tweets about Chicago 'carnage,' says he may 'send in the Feds!' if not fixed

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:30 AM PST



President Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday night about Chicago's violence, saying he will "send in the Feds!" if the city "doesn't fix the horrible 'carnage' going on."

Trump's tweet refers back to a line in his inaugural address Friday about "the crime, and the gangs, and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. This American carnage stops right here and stops right now."

The tweet cited numbers — "228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016)" — that come from Chicago Tribune data used in a news story Monday about violence in the city so far this year. As of Tuesday evening, there had been at least 247 people shot in Chicago, with at least 44 people killed, according to Tribune data.

Trump Boasts Inauguration TV Ratings, Asks Why Protesters Didn't Vote, Praises CIA

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:23 AM PST

Those wondering if Trump would change his tweeting ways now that he is president - and has not just one, his personal @realDonaldTrump account, but two including the official @POTUS username - got an answer in three parts this morning, when Trump greeted Sunday morning with three tweets addressing three distinct media newslines over the weekend.

In his first tweet at around 7:35am Sunday, Trump said he had a "great" meeting at CIA headquarters on Saturday, and appearing to seek a restoration of cordial relations, said the CIA had amazing people, not forgetting to note that he got "long standing ovations."

"Had a great meeting at CIA Headquarters yesterday, packed house, paid great respect to Wall, long standing ovations, amazing people. WIN!"
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump
Had a great meeting at CIA Headquarters yesterday, packed house, paid great respect to Wall, long standing ovations, amazing people. WIN!
7:35 AM - 22 Jan 2017

In remarks at CIA HQ on Saturday, Trump blasted the media, accusing news networks of lying about the size of his inauguration crowd, a topic that would later dominate one of the most bizarre White House press briefings. "Honestly it looked like a million and half people, whatever it was it was. But it went all the way back to the Washington Monument ... and by mistake I get this network and it showed an empty field, and it said we drew 250,000 people. Now that's not bad, but it's a lie," Trump said.

DC Police Wore "P***y Hats" in Support of Soros-Linked Protest

Far-left organizations use brainwashed masses as cover to promote their agenda

Several members of the Metropolitan Police Department of DC were observed wearing pink "pussy hats" in support of the Soros-linked anti-Trump "Women's March" that gripped the capitol following Donald Trump's inauguration.

The photos, obtained by The Daily Caller, appear to show several police officers assisting people with passing through the crowd of protestors while another group of officers wearing pink "pussy hats" were taking pictures with protestors.

The hats were knitted and distributed as part of the Pussyhat Project, which sought to call attention to the "mistreatment" of women in our society.

Raucous Leftist Women Pitch a Fit

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:07 AM PST

Our new favorite satire website, The Babylon Bee, headlined the weekend's women's march more appropriately than any (ahem) real news outlet did: "March Defends Women's Right To Choose Conformity With Only One Political Viewpoint." Of course, we noted a similar theme last week — that Some Women Are More Equal Than Others. So you get the point: Saturday's march wasn't about empowering all women, but rather about a bunch of aggrieved leftist loudmouths with nothing productive to do on a Saturday.

The march wasn't confined to Washington either, but spread to cities around the world. Marches in the U.S. had a distinctly anti-Trump flavor, helped by the timing one day after the inauguration. Some estimated that more than one million people marched in Washington, with millions more in other cities. If you ventured onto social media this weekend, though, you already knew this, thanks to your obnoxious relatives and friends reveling in "speaking truth to power" or whatever.

But how did women speak this truth and demand due respect?

Judge: ‘Nothing Short of Stunning’

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:00 AM PST

The Texas judge presiding over the Obama's Administration's executive amnesty case has issued an order saying that the unethical behavior from the federal government's attorneys has been "nothing short of stunning."

Breitbart Texas reported in May of 2016 that U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen slammed U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, writing that their "conduct is certainly not worthy of any department whose name includes the word 'Justice'." He added, "Suffice it to say, the citizens of all fifty states, their counsel, the affected aliens and the judiciary all deserve better." He opined that the DOJ "purports to represent all Americans—not just those who are in favor of whatever actions the Department is seeking to prosecute or defend. The end result never justifies misconduct." Hanen issued a 28-page memorandum opinion and order and lambasted federal government officials for misleading the Court during the executive amnesty litigation.

At the time of the May 2016 order, Hanen noted that the DOJ "has now admitted making statements that clearly did not match the facts. It has admitted that the lawyers who made these statements had knowledge of the truth when they made these misstatements." The DOJ provided only the explanation that its lawyers "lost focus" or that the "fact[s] receded in memory or awareness." He opined that the misrepresentations were made on "multiple occasions" and started at "the very first hearing this Court held." He said he was mislead both in writing and in statements made in open court.

Macy's is Unloading a Bunch of Real Estate

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 05:30 AM PST

With mall traffic declining steadily, department store giantMacy's is looking to downsize to a more defensible footprint. Back in August, the company announced plans to close about 100 stores. Last week, it identified about two-thirds of the locations that will be shuttered. Most of those will close within the next few months.

The main goal of closing stores is that it will better align Macy's brick-and-mortar footprint with consumer shopping trends. However, a secondary benefit is that these store closures will free up a lot of excess real estate that Macy's can sell. That process has already begun and is likely to continue at a rapid pace this year.
Stores aren't all equal

The quality of Macy's real estate spans a wide range. At one end of the spectrum, Macy's sprawling flagship store in Manhattan is probably worth billions of dollars. At the other end, Macy's owns some stores in dead or dying malls that are virtually worthless. For example, it recently unloaded one store in Springfield, Ohio, for the paltry sum of $200,000.

A few of the stores that Macy's is closing this year are getting the ax specifically because they are sitting on valuable real estate. Selling these will generate the vast majority of Macy's real estate proceeds. On the other hand, most of the stores slated for closure are located in subpar malls and thus aren't worth very much.
Macy's starts selling its downtown real estate

Laurel Police Officer's Vehicle Strikes Local Church In Bethel

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 06:53 AM PST





There's a reason I've provided so many pictures of this scene. If you look at the parking lot, (gravel) you'll notice there's no scrapes or disturbance in the stones. Someone never hit the brakes?

If you know this area, it's a 25 MPH zone. Do tell us how a vehicle could swerve off the main road and directly into the Church/Community Center without slamming on the brakes.

Some witnesses are seriously questioning just WHO was at the wheel at the time. Perhaps that will be answered in comments. 

It turns out two Laurel Officers were first to show up on the scene and then at a later point a DE. State Police showed up. No breathalyzer was taken, according to witnesses. Welcome to the Eastern Shore.

Liberals wonder and have even challenged Donald Trump for the past two years, I thought America was always great. NO!

It's these Liberal Idiots who go around in these costumes, (like local Chuck Cook) to get their pictures taken, bash out windows, light properties on fire and then tell US that we are destroying America.

Do you Liberals realize, other countries are WATCHING! YOU are an embarrassment to America, world wide. YOU have way too much time on your hands and guess what, it's images like the one above that will one day force our government to change our constitutional rights because of jackasses like YOU. I mean seriously, how much lower can a human being go?

Liberals are the problem in America, NOT ONE MAN Donald Trump. Make prostitution LEGAL and guess what, life would not only be a lot less expensive, these marches/outfits would end immediately.

Michigan Man Whose Drug Sentence Commuted By Obama Is Shot Dead

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 04:30 AM PST

SAGINAW (WWJ/AP) – A man whose drug-related prison sentence was commuted in November by President Barack Obama has been fatally shot at a federal halfway house in Michigan after two men with assault-style rifles sought him out, police said.

Two men wearing masks went into Bannum Place in Saginaw on Monday night with plans to kill 31-year-old Damarlon Thomas, a former Saginaw gang member. Lt. David Kaiser said Thomas was shot several times by one of the men as some of the roughly two dozen people at the home were held at gunpoint.

"One person watched over a group of them while another subject located the victim and executed him," Kaiser told The Saginaw News. "They were looking for this person."

The Anti-Semite Who Organized the 'Women's March on Washington'

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 03:30 AM PST

It would be interesting to know how many of the useful idiots donning "pussy hats" at Saturday's massive "Women's March on Washington" had any idea—or even cared to know—who the principal organizers of the event were. The answer is undoubtedly close to zero, since the purpose of the entire charade—like all leftist charades—was merely to give the participants an opportunity to publicly signal their own moral superiority while smearing—as racists and fascists—anyone who doesn't accept socialism, identity politics, and perpetual grievance mongering as the ultimate expressions of the American Dream. But for those who actually have an aversion to mindless indoctrination, the facts will be rather disturbing.

A leading organizer of the Women's March was the Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour, executive director of the Arab American Association of New York. This group was founded shortly after 9/11—not to condemn the attacks, of course, but rather, to lament "the heightened sense of fear and the acts of blatant discrimination aimed at [the Muslim] community" in the racist wasteland known as America.

On the premise that all government efforts to forestall additional terrorism constituted Nazi-like fascism, Sarsour and her organization played a central role in pressuring the New York Police Department to terminate its secret surveillance of the many Muslim groups and mosques suspected of promoting jihadism.

Surrounded By ANGRY Hillary-Voters, Black Trump Supporter ‘Big Joe’ Silences Them All!

Posted: 25 Jan 2017 01:40 AM PST

This video (below) is incredible. "Big Joe" showed up at one of the liberal Women's Marches on Saturday, and, while surrounded by liberals, explained "common sense" and wisdom in the middle of protests. Watch as liberals insult and verbally attack him, but Big Joe doesn't tolerate hateful ignorance.



There is an old saying, that you shouldn't get in the mud with pigs because all you get is dirty… and the pig likes it. But not this time! Big Joe has had enough, and explains how he – a conservative black man – is thrilled that President Donald J. Trump is in the White House.

Watch the incredible video here, which has been viewed more than 13 million times this week.

This is powerful!
