| Pictures Don't LIE But Salisbury Mayor Jake Day Does Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT  Folk Festival - Saturday evening 9/7/19 Your local media wants you to believe this was a record event for Salisbury. Hey, who knows, maybe they're telling the truth compared to last year. Nevertheless, don't buy the BS the event was such a great success. I read this morning they raised an ESTIMATED $40,000.00 in the bucket brigade. What's wrong with these Liberals, they can't add?  |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT Just curious of people's opinions if this is a bit extreme just for 1 student? Is this the tail wagging the dog? Is it fair to all the other students in the class that they can't have Fritos or Cheetos in their lunch now for the whole year or that they can't trade their Oreo cookies for a Ding Dong at lunchtime? I understand about safety but come on! Just curious of what the readers think...   |
| A Viewer Writes...........9-12-19 Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT   I'm just curious why Jake Day gets to put his campaign signs up on City property at the Salisbury City Park and across the street on at a vacant house. You can see 2 of his signs on the Snow Hill Rd. side of the park and 2 across the street. Is he that full of himself that he thinks he is above the law?  |

| The Real Deal about Salisbury's Population Growth Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT Jake keeps bragging that Salisbury is the fastest growing city in Maryland, which is probably true. What he is not telling us is that our population growth rate has been decreasing over the years. Our population growth rate from 2010-2018 is 7.5%; from the years 2000-2010 our population growth was 29%. The population growth has slowed. FACTS: Salisbury, MD 2000 Population - 21,500 2010 Population - 30,343 2018 Population is Approximately - 32,800 Between 2000-2010 we were adding an average of 884 people per year. Between 2010-2018 we are pacing/adding 307 people per year. *Since our populations median age is growing younger, we have to assume we are having more babies to add to our population. People are certainly not running here because of our growing economy and high paying jobs. But, who are the people that are moving here?

| A Viewer Writes.......... WCBOE: elementary school spelling and reading. Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT  My question(s) are as parents of these students and the amount of money going into our school system. Why are we allowing them to no longer teach/require our students to know the basic necessities in life. Reading and spelling go hand in hand through phonics and context clues is how we all were taught. Why aren't our children being given the basic needs we are sending them to school for. Illiteracy is always suppose to be a big deal in our area and now we have elected to require them to spell basic words. At what point do citizens of this county say hold up to much money spent infrastructure and salaries that we have allowed them to longer teach spelling. And at what meeting did the county get parents involved into that decision making process.  |
| O’Rourke to gun owners: 'Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47' Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:01 AM PDT Beto O'Rourke, a fierce advocate of gun control, was cheered for saying that if he is elected president, he would take action to remove weapons from gun owners in America. While some candidates have suggested voluntary buybacks for owners of those types of guns, O'Rourke, 46, has gone further and voiced his support for mandatory gun buybacks for owners of AR-15s and AK-47s. During Thursday's debate, O'Rourke was asked if he was proposing taking away those guns and responded, "I am, if it's a weapon that was designed to kill people on a battlefield. "If the high-impact, high-velocity round when it hits your body shreds everything inside of your body because it was designed to do that … Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47, we're not going to allow it to be used on fellow Americans anymore," the former Texas congressman said as the audience broke into raucous cheering.

| Beto O'Rourke: 'I don't see the policemen going door to door' with my mandatory gun buyback plan Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Former Texas Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke, a White House presidential contender, confirmed Saturday at the New Hampshire Democratic Party Convention that his mandatory firearm buyback plan would not include law enforcement door knocks. "No. I don't see the law enforcement going door to door. I see Americans complying with the law. I see us working with gun owners, non-gun owners, local, county, state, federal law enforcement to come up with the best possible solution. I have yet to meet an owner of an AR-15 who thinks it's OK that we have these kind of mass killings in this country," O'Rourke said when asked by the Washington Examiner about specifics of his plan. When pressed further about how he plans to enforce his proposal for those who would not comply, he responded, "How do you — how do we enforce any law? There's a significant reliance on people complying with the law. You know that a law is not created in a vacuum." More  |
| SERIOUSLY? BICYCLE LICENSES ARE COMING Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT New York City Mayor, and not so popular Democrat Primary Presidential Candidate, Bill de Blasio wants to require you to have a bicycle license as well as a helmet to legally ride a bike and promises to regulate cyclists with stricter law enforcement. De Blasio and "progressive" allies have pushed New York city towards redesigning their transportation away from fossil fuel-powered motor vehicles to "formalize and codify a hierarchy of street use that prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists over private cars [BikeNYC2020]." However, the nearly 100 miles of dedicated lanes for cyclists have generated a spike in collisions involving cyclists and pedestrians as well as motorists. More  |

| It's Time to Re-Segregate College Sports? Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT  Nevertheless, writing her first article for The Atlantic, Hill argues for segregation at the nation's colleges and universities. "It's Time for Black Athletes to Leave White Colleges," reads her title. She argues this re-segregation should happen because "black athletes have attracted money and attention to the predominantly white universities that showcase them." Instead, she says, they should redirect their talents to historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). She's not entirely wrong about some of the disparity among blacks and whites, or about how colleges rake in major profits from unpaid athletes. And in one sense her argument is thoroughly American — she advocates for the underdog to prevail against the giant. More  |

| Police: Couple spends more than $100,000 after bank accidentally deposits money in account Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT A couple in Pennsylvania is facing felony theft charges after spending money that didn't belong to them. WNEP reports Robert and Tiffany Williams' bank deposited $120,000 into their account on accident. It was a mistake made back in May by a teller, the news agency reports. The couple did not contact the bank about the mistake but allegedly spent most of the money in two and a half weeks in June. Authorities say the couple bought a car trailer, a camper, two four-wheelers and an SUV. They also used some of the money on bills, cash purchases and gave $15,000 to friends in need. More  |

| Trump says he won't debate primary opponents Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT President Trump on Monday indicated he would not be willing to debate the Republicans seeking to run against him in a primary for the party's 2020 nomination. "They're all at less than 1 percent. I guess it's a publicity stunt," Trump told reporters as he left the White House for North Carolina. "To be honest, I'm not looking to give them any credibility," he added. Former Rep. Joe Walsh (Ill.), former Rep. Mark Sanford (S.C.) and former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld have each announced campaigns against Trump. The Arizona Republican Party earlier Monday canceled its 2020 presidential primary contest, joining the GOP in South Carolina and Kansas. Nevada may follow suit as the Republican Party seeks to clear Trump's path to reelection. More  |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT Eating chicken puts consumers at a higher risk of a rare form of blood cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as prostate cancer in men, according to researchers from Oxford University. The research involved tracking 475,000 middle-aged Britons over a period of eight years between 2006 and 2014. Their diets were analysed alongside the diseases and illnesses they suffered with. Around 23,000 of them developed cancer. 'Poultry intake was positively associated with risk for malignant melanoma, prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma', according to the paper published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

| Maryland Wear And Carry Permit Application Process Goes Online Beginning October 1, 2019 Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT  Beginning Oct. 1, 2019, those applying for a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit will complete and submit the application online. Individuals will be able to apply online using a computer, tablet or mobile phone, regardless of the operating system. All current web browsers are also supported by the Licensing Portal. Paper Wear and Carry Permit applications postmarked or hand delivered on or before Sept. 30, 2019, will be accepted and will be processed as per current procedures. Paper Wear and Carry applications submitted on or after Oct. 1, 2019 will not be accepted and will be returned to the applicant with instructions to submit the Wear and Carry Permit application via the Licensing Portal. Little has changed in the questions and documentation requirements to complete the application process. Applicants will continue to provide the same information currently required on the paper Wear and Carry Permit application. All required documentation, including the passport-sized photograph and Livescan fingerprint receipt, can easily be uploaded by the applicant prior to submission of the application. Applicants will be required to have a valid email account. This will give the applicant the ability to see the most current status of their application and allow the Maryland State Police Licensing Division to send notifications, follow-up and reminder correspondence. Applicants who already have a Licensing Portal account will not be required to create a new account. These applicants will use their current 77R Portal account login credentials to continue logging into the Licensing Portal. In addition to designing, documenting and testing the online application process, Maryland State Police Licensing Division personnel have been busy conducting training in the new process. Seminars for firearm dealers and instructors have been conducted throughout the state. The goal of the automated Wear and Carry Permit application process is to increase the ease and efficiency of applying for a Wear and Carry Permit in Maryland. The online system will offer a new level of transparency and keep the applicant informed at every step of the process. The Maryland State Police Licensing Division staff is continuing their efforts to promptly investigate and approve those eligible for a wear and carry permit, while ensuring those prohibited by law are not approved. Further information is available by clicking on "Licensing Division," on the Maryland State Police website at mdsp.maryland.gov.  |

| Alarming Number Of Seniors Go Entire Week Without Talking To Anyone Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT For most of us, the older we get, the more we slow down physically. But for some, growing old also means slowing down socially — so much to the point that some home-bodied seniors go days with little to no human interaction. A new survey of British elders sheds light on this sad, but true effect of aging, noting that hundreds of thousands of people often go a week without speaking to a single person. According to the survey of 1,896 seniors over 65 in the United Kingdom, more than one in five (22%) will have a conversation with no more than just three people over the span of an entire week! That translates to nearly 2.6 million elderly folks who don't enjoy regular human contact on a daily basis. Perhaps most alarming though is researchers say an alarming 225,000 individuals will go a week without talking to anyone face-to-face. "A friendly 'hello' or 'how are you?' is something most of us take for granted – it's just part of every day life, but these latest figures show that hundreds of thousands of older people in the UK will spend today and the rest of this week alone, with no one to share even a few simple words with," says Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, which partnered with Cadbury Dairy Milk to commission the research, in a statement.

| Conservative Activist Returns to Baltimore for Second Trash Cleanup Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT  A conservative activist and several volunteers picked up trash for the second time this year on Monday in Baltimore, Maryland. Scott Presler, a Trump supporter and grassroots activist, said his efforts are not about pointing fingers but are meant to help average Americans clean up their beloved city. "This is not about President Trump. This is not about (being) anti-Representative Cummings. This is about we see a problem, and these are our American people. These are our brothers and sisters," he told CBS Baltimore. The group picked up seven tons of trash during the event Monday, and Presler said in a video posted to Twitter that he and his fellow volunteers will be back again in October: More here  |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT This is just an absolutely horrific story. A 61-year-old Florida man shot and killed two of four intruders during a home invasion robbery in Summerfield in July. The armed intruders broke into his home late at night in July. The homeowner was using an AR15 during the incident. One of the intruders was wearing a "Jason" mask over his head. The video is absolutely frightening! More  |
| Teachers Reveal How Much They're Spending In Classrooms Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT Due to a lack of resources, teachers across America say they are dipping into their personal funds in order to supply their own classroom needs. While some are reaching straight into their pockets, others crowdfund in hopes to fulfill these back-to-school necessities. Courtney Jones, a Texas-based elementary educator, launched a successful hashtag: #clearthelist -- a pay it forward initiative which asks the public via social media to help meets simple demands of teachers across the nation. The movement raised over $85,000 for teachers in need of supplies. It came in the midst of the #RedforEd movement's launch -- where thousands of educators marched at state capitols to demand pay increases and better education funding since 2018. More  |
| 'Impossible to live together': Todd Palin files for divorce from Sarah Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's husband Todd Palin has filed for divorce in Anchorage Superior Court. Citing "incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife," the court document, filed on Friday, uses initials instead of full names, but lists the date of the Palin marriage and the birth date of their child, Trig, 11, who had Down Syndrome, for whom they filed joint custody. Anchorage attorney Kimberloo Colbo is representing Todd, 55, and has asked the court to keep the case confidential. As well as Trig, the couple has four adult children, Track, 30, Bristol, 28, Willow, 25, and Piper, 18. Sarah Palin, also 55, rose to prominence during the 2008 presidential election, when the former mayor of Wasilla was chosen by John McCain as his vice presidential candidate, a decision for which the Arizona senator expressed regret last year. The photogenic couple - he was known in Alaska as the "First Dude" and was a champion snowmobile racer - were an immediate media sensation. More  |

| Maryland offers tax credit to help those struggling with student debt Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:01 AM PDT Marylanders struggling with student debt have a week left to get some help with their loans from the state. Applications for the Maryland Student Loan Debt Relief Tax Credit are due on Sept. 15. Maryland comptroller Peter Franchot said the credit is open to any Maryland resident with at least $5,000 left to pay on their student loan debt. "Fundamentally, it's free money totaling $5,000 over a couple years that can be applied to someone's student debt," Franchot said. "It's not curative because … people just have a lot of student debt, unfortunately. But it's a positive contribution from the state of Maryland." More  |
| Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:01 AM PDT BALTIMORE (WJZ) — If you walk onto President Street ahead of President Trump's arrival Thursday, look out for a giant rat sitting on the street. But don't worry, it won't bite. The president is expected to speak at a Republicans' retreat being held Thursday to Sunday at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel in Harbor East, and protestors are there too- with props. A giant blown up rat with a Trump-like head is stationed off of Presidents Street, with a sticker attached to the base that says "Fight Fascism, Stop Trump," More  |

| Chris Coons to Beto O'Rourke: You are so not helping Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat from Delaware, must be hopping mad that 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke is calling for the forced, mandatory confiscation of all AR-15 and AR-15-style rifles. Just think of the years of care and effort that gun control activists such as Coons have put into trying to convince voters that no one is coming for their guns. All that careful wording and rhetorical finesse, just poof! Up in smoke, because a former Texas congressman has aspirations for the presidency. It's not easy watching all your hard work get destroyed by someone else's publicity stunt. More  |
| 6.2 Million Americans Drop off Food Stamps Under Trump — Saving the Country $9 Billion Annually Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:01 AM PDT At least 6.2 million Americans have dropped off food stamps since President Trump came into office in January 2017. The average monthly benefit for SNAP food stamp recipients is $121 per person. With 6.2 million off of food stamps President Trump saved the country $9 billion annually. "The average monthly benefit for SNAP fod stamp recipients is $121 per person. With 6.2 million off of food stamps President Trump saved the country 750,000,000 annually." $121 per person/mo. X 6.2Million = $750,200,000/mo. $750,200,000 x 12/months = $9,002,400,000/yr. More  |

| Baltimore On Track For Record Homicides As City Descends Into Chaos Posted: 15 Sep 2019 04:00 AM PDT So here we go again, another depressing story from Baltimore City, a region that is imploding on itself and suffering from a murders crisis, opioid epidemic, a wide gap in wealth/health/education inequalities, and deindustrialization. In this report, we're only going to focus on the murder crisis and gently touch on the opioid epidemic (because they go hand in hand), however, please search our archives for other stories on Baltimore, because the implosion there is what will be coming to many other inner cities across the country in the 2020s. With that being said, Baltimore City could be on track to surpass last year's 309 homicides, and if current trends persist, there is a chance that homicides could hit a record high, which means the city could see 342, a level that was previously set in 2015 and 2017.
