| Posted: 05 Oct 2019 08:30 PM PDT  We got a great deal on a bus, now all we need is the people to fill it! We're aiming for a price of $20 per person, for a round trip to beautiful Washington D.C. The rally is at 10 AM (Thursday October 17), so we'd let the bus company decide what the best time to leave is (6 AM?). Note that the bus will have a huge Trump banner on the side, we will have breakfast snacks on board for the morning ride, and we will discuss stopping off for a late lunch on the way home after the rally. NOW is the time to support our President, NOW is the time to stop the democrats from stealing our vote. The rally details are at this link. We will pick up folks in West Ocean City, Wicomico (Boscovs at the mall?), maybe Easton, depending on response. To reserve a seat on the bus email (DoNothing.LoseAll@gmail.com ) . we'd need to know if we have enough folks by Thursday the 10th so that the bus company has time to reserve a parking space in the designated area. Link to Women for American First People keep asking why not on the weekend, here is the reason... Congress isn't there on the weekend. We have to do it when Congress is in session. This isn't just a March to support POTUS, but we will also be storming the Hill. It is imperative that we storm the Hill and protest at local congressional offices across the country because they are the ones voting on impeachment. We were very strategic in choosing the date. If you have to work or cannot get to DC, host an event in your town. We will help you get it started and people will come out of the woodwork to join you!  | ||||||||||||||||||
| WNBA mainstay Penny Toler fired by L.A. Sparks after using racial slur Posted: 05 Oct 2019 08:00 PM PDT Penny Toler, an historical WNBA figure and longtime Los Angeles Sparks general manager, was fired on Friday after she admitted to using a racial slur during a postgame speech to her team. Toler, 53, said she used the slur while attempting to motivate the Sparks following their loss to the Connecticut Sun in Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals. The Sparks went on to lose Game 3 and were eliminated from the playoffs. "Penny Toler was relieved of her duties and will no longer be with the organization, effective immediately. A national search will begin immediately to identify the next general manager of the Sparks," the team said in a statement. More  | ||||||||||||||||||
| De Niro accuser fires back after actor dismisses bombshell audio Posted: 05 Oct 2019 07:30 PM PDT A lawyer for the woman accusing Robert De Niro of harassment and gender discrimination isn't backing down after the actor's camp called the lawsuit from De Niro's former assistant "beyond absurd." "Listen to the voicemail," said Alexandra Harwin, an attorney for Graham Chase Robinson during a Friday sit-down interview with FOX Business. "It's very clear from the voicemail that Mr. De Niro left her, that what was going on here was abusive and demeaning." During her roughly 11 years working for De Niro's production company Canal Productions, Robinson's lawyer said her client was discriminated against "day in and day out."

| Rock Climber to Hold ‘Border Wall Climbing’ Competition Posted: 05 Oct 2019 07:00 PM PDT A group of rock climbers will be holding a "border wall climbing competition" following President Donald Trump's assertion that a new portion of the wall will be "unclimbable." The competition will take place during an event called "Rocktoberfest" in Kentucky, one of the biggest rock climbing gatherings in the nation. The Hill reports that 75-year-old rock climber Rick Weber built a replica 18-foot tall section of steel border wall and has invited rock climbers to compete in the climb on Oct. 11 and 12. Writing about the challenge in Rock and Ice Magazine, Weber said that "many in the rock climbing community were amused a couple weeks ago when our POTUS held a press conference at a section of his latest border wall design—a series of parallel square steel posts with a 5-foot-high plate at the top. 'Impossible to climb,' he stated. He boasted that 'the federal government tested the structure by having 20 skilled mountain climbers attempt to climb it, and no one could.'"

| Donald Trump Goes Off-Script: Rips ‘Con-Man’ Al Sharpton and Ungrateful Van Jones Posted: 05 Oct 2019 06:30 PM PDT President Donald Trump went off-script at the Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House, criticizing famous black leftist activists to the delight of the crowd. Trump recalled working with leftist activist Van Jones to help pass criminal justice reform in 2018. He said that Van Jones was extremely nice to him in private conversations at the White House but expressed amazement that the activist and TV host did not give the president any credit on his show afterward. "He didn't name me!" Trump said with amazement. "And I'm the one that did it!" He recalled that Jones gave Al Sharpton credit for helping pass the bill, prompting the crowd of young African Americans to boo at the mention of Sharpton's name. Trump called Al Sharpton a "third-rate con guy" but noted that he used to get along with him when he was a businessman in New York City. "He liked me until I ran and succeeded in politics, then it wasn't to his benefit," he said as the crowd laughed. "But look Al's a con-man, we all know that." More  | ||||||||||||||||||
| Police Union: ‘Inflammatory and Demoralizing’ for Sanctuary Chief to Suspend Officer who Helped ICE Posted: 05 Oct 2019 06:00 PM PDT The Fairfax County, Virginia, police union is hitting back after the sanctuary county's police chief suspended an officer who had helped Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents capture an illegal alien fugitive. As Breitbart News reported, Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin Roessler Jr. suspended an officer from his duties pending an investigation after he learned that the officer aided the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in locating and arresting a wanted illegal alien – a violation of the county's sanctuary policy, which shields illegal aliens from arrest and deportation. Since the incident, the officer was reinstated to his position at the Fairfax County Police Department, but was made to undergo "remedial training," as Breitbart News reported. In response, the Fairfax County Police Association (FCPA) released a statement, calling Roessler's comments "inflammatory and demoralizing" to officers at the police department.

| Teacher put on leave following controversial message about Confederate flag Posted: 05 Oct 2019 05:30 PM PDT HEPHZIBAH, GA (WRDW/WAGT) -- A Hephzibah High School teacher was placed on paid administrative leave after sharing a controversial message with the Confederate flag Monday. Melissa Fuller's daughter is a student at Hephzibah High School. She said her daughter's teacher put a picture of a Confederate flag on the board with text reading, "A sticker you put on the back of your pickup truck to announce that you intend to marry your sister. Think of it like a white trash 'Save the Date' card." "She found it offensive, so she sent it to me and asked me what I thought," said Fuller. She posted it to Facebook, which brought in more than 150 comments from fellow parents and community members. She said a lot of the comments were from people who shared her concern. "A lot of is that it's not morally correct. It's unethical," she said. "It's just something you don't want to discuss today in today's world and especially inside of a classroom."

| Posted: 05 Oct 2019 04:00 PM PDT  All Oversight Republicans ask Cummings to hold public business meeting to consider proposed subpoena WASHINGTON, DC – Last night, all Republican members of the Committee on Oversight and Reform sent a letter to Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) requesting that he convene a business meeting to allow Members to debate and vote on the Chairman's proposed subpoena to the White House as part of the House Democrats' Impeachment Inquiry. At the Committee organizational meeting in January, Chairman Cummings promised that he would consult the Ranking Member before issuing subpoenas. Chairman Cummings promised that "Members deserve the opportunity to go on the record for some of the most important work they will do, and the public deserves the opportunity to see them do that work in the open." By proposing to issue his subpoena unilaterally without a business meeting, the Chairman is denying transparency and accountability about the Committee's work. Excerpts from the letter: "You decided to issue this subpoena without consulting Republicans and without allowing Members to debate the terms of the subpoena. Your memorandum cherry-picks and misstates information to propagate a misleading narrative about the President's actions. We object strongly to the issuance of this subpoena and your stated reasons for issuing it. If you proceed with this subpoena over our objections, you will be violating our bipartisan agreement about subpoenas, trampling on long-held minority rights in the House of Representatives, and proving the partisan nature of your inquiry." "Here, on the Committee's most important work-Democrats' self-described "impeachment inquiry"-you have chosen to deny Members a meaningful opportunity to debate and amend your proposed subpoena."

The letter, which was sent to acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and gives the White House until October 18th to produce information, was organized by Oversight Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY). "We deeply regret that President Trump has put us—and the nation—in this position, but his actions have left us with no choice but to issue this subpoena," the chairman wrote to Mulvaney.

| Soros’s ACLU Sues Trump to Get Taxpayer-Funded ‘Mental Health Services’ for Border Crossers Posted: 05 Oct 2019 02:30 PM PDT The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), partially funded by billionaire George Soros, is suing President Trump's administration to ensure border crossers are provided with taxpayer-funded "mental health services." In a lawsuit filed this week, ACLU lawyers are seeking damages for adult border crossers from Guatemala and Honduras that were put in separate detention facilities from the children with whom they crossed the United States-Mexico border. This "Zero Tolerance" policy, which is no longer in effect, was designed to ensure that federal immigration officials could hold adult border crossers in detention rather than mass-releasing them into the interior of the country. The ACLU lawsuit alleges that the Trump administration, by holding adult border crossers and the children they arrived with in separate detention spaces, violated the "constitutionally protected rights" of border crossers and illegal aliens: More  | ||||||||||||||||||
| Joe Biden Explodes Over Question About Son’s Ties to Ukraine: ‘I’m Not Going to Respond to That’ Posted: 05 Oct 2019 02:00 PM PDT Former Vice President Joe Biden exploded at the media on Friday when asked about his youngest son's shadowy business dealings in Ukraine. The tense altercation occurred during a campaign stop in Los Angeles, California, where the former vice president was asked if Hunter Biden's service on the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian oil and gas giant, had posed a conflict of interest during his time in the White House. Biden, who in the past had refused to discuss his son's business dealings with foreign governments, appeared perturbed by the question. More  | ||||||||||||||||||

The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) – the atheist group for which the 61-year-old son of former President Ronald Reagan has appeared in television ads – filed a formal complaint Thursday with the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct, FOX 4 of Dallas-Fort Worth reported. The Wisconsin-based group objected to Judge Tammy Kemp giving one of her Bibles to Guyger after the former officer was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday for the shooting death of Botham Jean, a 26-year-old accountant.

Marco Rubio floated the possibility that President Trump called on China to investigate the Bidens for no other reason than to "provoke" the media. "I don't know if that's a real request or him just needling the press, knowing that you guys are going to get outraged by it. He's pretty good at getting everybody fired up, and he's been doing that for a while, and the media responded right on task," the Florida Republican said Friday. "I don't think it's a real request. Again, I think he did it to get you guys. I think he did it to provoke you to ask me and others and get outraged by it," Rubio continued. "He plays it like a violin, and everybody falls right into it. That's not a real request." More  | ||||||||||||||||||

The answer fell into his lap as he tweeted out a Nickelback meme. Nickelback filed a copyright complaint, forcing the video to be taking down and forcing Dems to ally themselves with Nickelback. This was bad enough for the Dems, but then Trump all but sealed their fate by signing an executive order forcing all Nickelback band members to move back to Canada immediately.

| 'We are not in the business of censoring ads': Fox defends running Trump ad attacking Biden Posted: 05 Oct 2019 11:30 AM PDT Fox News responded defiantly to requests from former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential campaign not to air a Trump campaign ad that attempts to highlight Biden's connections to Ukraine. The ad, which is titled "Biden Corruption," is 30 seconds long, and it depicts Biden's role in getting top Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired. Shokin had been looking into Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company that employed Hunter Biden, the former vice president's son. Neither of the Bidens have been credibly accused of any illegal activities. The video later shows footage of CNN's Jim Acosta, Chris Cuomo, and Don Lemon, along with MSNBC prime-time host Rachel Maddow, while the narrator claims the Democrats' "media lapdogs fall in line."

| NEW SIGNAL NOW OPERATIONAL ON WESTBOUND US 50 NEAR SALISBURY Posted: 05 Oct 2019 11:00 AM PDT  (October 3, 2019) – A new US 50 (Ocean Gateway) traffic signal is now operational and will improve safety and access at the White Lowe Road intersection just west of Salisbury. The new half-traffic signal directs traffic along westbound US 50. The signal is part of a Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) project to convert the intersection to a "Maryland-T" configuration. The reconstructed intersection also includes a new merge lane onto eastbound US 50, conversion of Stanton Avenue to a right-turn only intersection and a restricted median to eliminate cross-traffic. These enhancements will enhance safety at the Wicomico County intersection by eliminating median queueing, cross traffic and left turns from Stanton Avenue onto westbound US 50. The new signals at westbound US 50/White Lowe Road will facilitate safe access onto eastbound US 50. Maryland-T configurations enhance safety by reducing the number of potential conflict points at an intersection. While designs can vary to fit specific locations, a typical Maryland-T on a divided highway will feature traffic signals controlling one side of the highway along with extended merge and turn lanes and median access restrictions. MDOT SHA awarded the $2.3 million construction contract to George & Lynch of Dover, DE. Approximately 25,000 vehicles travel this part of US 50 each day and volumes are significantly higher during the summer tourist season.

| Comment left by Parent On Bennett Middle School Facebook page Posted: 05 Oct 2019 10:07 AM PDT Daniel Hill Mrs. Nathan, Rather than try to save face and down play how these events ACTUALLY effected our children, why don't you tell us all really what happened. Why don't you tell the truth about the inadequacy of your staff to control the situation. Why don't you tell the truth about this county's lackadaisical approach to handling threats of mass violence. Why don't you tell us all how standardized test scores are the forefront of your priorities and not trying to pace with other school systems in placing standard operating procedures in place that are PROVEN tactics to minimize injury and loss during actual events. Why don't you just come out and call our kids liars and tell us they shouldn't feel their emotions because you say all is ok. How can our kids grow and learn if they don't feel safe? Maslow's hierarchy of needs, you can't move forward with personal growth, nor learn without a feeling of security. I'm going to tell you one thing right now, I believe my son over you and any of your staff. These children have no reason to lie about these events. Are there inaccuracies in their accounts? Absolutely, it happens to any person in a high stress situation. Memories can be hard to recall or completely fabricated due to the power of suggestion. But what I can tell you is these kids were scared to death. And don't you dare say their fear came from seeing police arrive. Because not one single kid claimed their fear manifesting from the arrival of only a couple of officers. Their fear came from the text message that was sent. There were children at the dance that received the threatening message DIRECTLY!! And of course other kids found out. One of my sons friends broke down crying in a corner and when they approached to inquire why he showed one of the kids the text that threatened to "shoot up the school". So stop blowing smoke up our behinds. And to say you "directly communicated" is a BOLD FACE LIE!!! It wasn't until 20:40 that your administration sent out that garbage message, not a single call that stated to collect the children as the dance was ending early. You ended the dance due to a threat of violence and the ONLY reason my wife knew to collect my son was because HE texted her and said "come get me, the dance is over because something happened and the cops are coming". Then minutes later he calls frantic because a police officer and staff is rushing them BACK INTO THE BUILDING!! Saying they heard what they thought were gunshots. And then said they were ushered to the 7th and 8th grade wings for "safety". So please tell me what prompted this is everything was A OK? So NO you didn't communicate with anyone!! Our children wore the burden of calling parents and telling them to pick them up. And the environment he described, I would be ashamed as an administrator, a "professional", to have allowed to transpire. You have parents stating when they picked up their children there were kids running around outside, crying and scared, but I guess that's all rumor and fabrication as well? Not a single person has motivation to fabricate anything except for you and staff members. Because you can't have parents losing faith in your ability to keep our kids safe. So I would seriously stop trying to downplay these events. You and others at your level always have the "it wasn't anything" stance. One of these days our children's health or lives will pay the price because you lack the wherewithal and motivation to formulate a plan to handle these situations. But I do believe you have a large group of parents who are not buying your statements and will demand action and change!! For gods sake you still teach fire drills where students exit the classrooms and building. Yet law enforcement has been teaching for half a decade how that's improper. Because as one mass shooter already did, he used the fire alarm to summon people from their classrooms to the line of fire. I feel really sorry for you that you feel just in your statement. It's a sad state of affairs when you feel confident enough in your inability to control, maintain, and protect our children from threats, hollow or real, that you will take to social media and apply that proverbial trowel to smooth things over. What you are missing is that our kids are now terrified to return to your building. Some of these kids directly received the threat, and now you have the audacity to try and minimize this. I really hope you are ready for the flames you are fanning. Because I've already been contacted by a few elected officials after they saw my other comments. They want to speak to my son, and want to speak to his friends. And I will give them unimpeded access to interview him, because it seems they don't even believe this story you're selling. This doesn't become all better just because you say so. My son experienced something no kid should ever have to. And I can tell you it was genuinely traumatic. I got home after my shift this morning, and found my family camped out in the living room, he refused to sleep upstairs last night. When I touched his shoulder to wake him, as I do almost every morning, he jumped up from a dead sleep, ready to flee. But don't worry I'll read him your letter, tell him his fear is false, and what happened was just an emotionally charged fallacy and I'm sure it will make him feel all better. This is the final time I will engage or address your comments. My next stop is to the Board of Education. And if they want to take the same "who cares" approach that you have, I'll go higher. It's time for you to wake up, stop cashing a paycheck, and commit half of the BS you push into developing a plan of action to adequately contain and control these events. Oh and it would have been a semisweet gesture to say "and we plan to have grief counselors available to your children next week to help them process their feelings following this stressful situation". But don't do it now, you already announced to the world that all is well because only the police scared the kids and, meh it was nothing...  | ||||||||||||||||||

| Trump administration to restrict visas for uninsured applicants Posted: 05 Oct 2019 10:00 AM PDT President Trump issued a proclamation Friday requiring immigrants applying for U.S. visas to prove they can afford health care. Applicants will be denied entry into the U.S. unless they have plans to be covered by health insurance within 30 days of entering or have enough financial resources to cover the cost, according to the White House. The measure would take effect Nov. 3 and will apply to applicants for visas from abroad. It will not be applied retroactively to those already in the U.S. It does not affect lawful permanent residents, nor does it apply to asylum seekers, refugees or children. However, it would apply to the spouses and parents of U.S. citizens.

Appearing on MSNBC on Sept. 17, the California Democrat was asked directly if there had been previous contact with the whistleblower. "We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. We would like to," Schiff responded. "But I am sure the whistleblower has concerns that he has not been advised, as the law requires, by the inspector general or the director of national intelligence just how he is supposed to communicate with Congress, and so the risk to the whistleblower is retaliation."

The California Democrat is facing criticism for making misleading statements about what he knew of the whistleblower after it was revealed he learned details about the unnamed CIA official's complaint before it was formally filed and is creating doubt about whether he was the right choice to lead the Democrats' impeachment inquiry. "How long is Speaker Pelosi going to put up with Adam mishandling this investigation?" Gowdy said Friday on Fox News. "She has already taken it away from Jerry Nadler.

The city's Commission on Human Rights recently released new legal enforcement guidelines that ban the use of the term "illegal alien" by employers, housing providers (including hotels), and law enforcement as "discriminatory." Violators can be punished with exorbitant and punitive fines—up to $250,000 per offense. In other words, the city will now censor and penalize anyone for using the correct legal term that has been used in both federal immigration law and numerous court decisions, including by the Supreme Court.

A search of the woods was formed by officers which resulted in the student quickly found and placed under arrest without any injuries to staff, students or officers. A firearm was located in the student's backpack and quickly secured. The student was transported to our office for processing and later transported to the Lower Shore Children's Center where he is currently being held. Somerset Intermediate School was also searched by multiple officers to make sure there were no further threats to the building. School returned to normal operation later in the day without any further incidents. This investigation is currently ongoing between the school system, The Somerset County Sheriff's Office, and The Department of Juvenile Services. More information will be passed on to the public when available. Somerset County Public Schools sent out a countywide "Robocall" to all parents giving them an update of the situation at the school. We would like to thank the students who quickly told the staff the information that was heard by that student, as that information was critical to the quick response and ultimately safe outcome of this incident.  | ||||||||||||||||||
