OC Restaurant Files For Reorganization

Image
A long-time restaurant has filed for Chapter 11 reorganization this week after a tumultuous start to the year. Satellite Restaurants Inc. owns and operates the 120th Street Crabcake Factory USA, which turns 25 years old next year. “Crabcake Factory is an Ocean City icon and we don’t plan on changing a thing in regards to ability to deliver the delicious food and drinks that Ocean City knows and loves. This is a COVID and business issue that requires a reorganization solution. Our quality and service will not be compromised. We are not going anywhere,” said Johnny Brooks, owner and CEO of Crabcake Factory USA since 1996. “Unfortunately recent events relating to COVID-19 and the restrictions placed on restaurants coupled with some long standing wage and tax liabilities have tied our hands going into an uncertain offseason. We want to be proactive protecting the legacy of Crabcake Factory for another 25 years in Ocean City.” More

Image
Five people were hurt after a likely gas explosion at a strip mall in Harrisonburg, Va., just blocks from the campus of James Madison University, according to reports.

Among the victims were three James Madison University students who suffered minor injuries. The trio had been standing outside the store when the explosion occurred , part of an Army ROTC running group which had been involved in a 10-mile race, the finish line of which was just yards from the explosion site.

Women’s March in D.C. draws thousands in protest of Supreme Court nominee, Trump

Image
Wearing costumes and carrying signs, thousands of people gathered for the Women’s March in downtown Washington and in cities across the country Saturday to protest the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett and to build momentum to vote President Trump out of the White House. Women wore white lace collars and black robes to honor the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and red robes and white bonnets to mock the woman expected to take her seat — vivid reminders of the cultural battles playing out in the country and the intensity of emotions swirling in the weeks before the election. Some there for the march faced off in a tense confrontation with a group of counterprotesters at the Supreme Court who had come to support Barrett and oppose abortion, yelling, “Keep your laws off my body!” Ginger Belmonte, 23, said she has come from her home in Frederick County, Md., to Washington every weekend since Ginsburg died.

Pro-Trump artist wants NYC mayor’s job, says ‘monkey with no eyes’ could do better than Bill de Blasio

Image
A conservative Staten Island artist, known for painting American flag murals in each of the 50 states, is planning a mayoral run in New York City , where he said “a monkey with no eyes” could do a better job than the current administration. “I’m not a politician, but neither was Ronald Reagan, neither was Donald Trump ,” Scott LoBaido, a 55-year-old self-described “creative patriot” told Fox News on Thursday evening. “Why shouldn’t I run? I can’t do any worse than this clown.” He criticized New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, over the city’s high taxes, handling of the coronavirus, small-business regulations, lack of support for police and exodus of residents and businesses. “I think a monkey with no eyes could take over this office and fix this insanity,” he said. “So I think I could do it.” De Blasio’s ongoing feuds with the city’s police, religious communities and even Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a fellow Democrat, have plagued his administration. More

House Republicans ask FBI if it had Hunter Biden's alleged laptop during Trump's impeachment

Image
House Republicans are calling on the FBI to reveal whether it was in possession of a laptop that reportedly contained emails by Hunter Biden during the impeachment of President Trump -- and claiming the agency committed a “gross error in judgement” if it did not inform the White House. “If the FBI was, in fact, in possession of this evidence and failed to alert the White House to its existence that would have given even more weight to the president’s legal defense, this was a gross error in judgement and a severe violation of trust,” the letter says. The letter was written after the New York Post published emails suggesting that Hunter Biden introduced his father to a top executive at Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings in 2015 -- one year before his father allegedly pressured the country's government to fire a prosecutor who had launched an investigation into the company. The Post reported that the FBI was in possession of the laptop on which the emails were found in Dec...

A burning desire for a fire, leads to a $50k budget surplus in Ocean City

Image
Tuesday's budget presentation revealed that the bonfire permit program was totally hot this summer. While most other sources of entertainment went up in flames for the resort city, due to Covid-19 restrictions, it appears, visitors opted to spend their time on the beach in the evening enjoying their friends, family, fresh air, and fires! Budget Manager Jennie Knapp said the program came in $50,000 over budget, which is significant considering the price tag for a permit is $75. Mayor Meehan agreed that the program was a huge money maker. That means there were an additional 660 bonfires,” he said. “That number is above what was budgeted, so I’m guessing we’re probably closer to 1,000 bonfires on the beach.” There were days in July when there were 50 individual permits issued for beach bonfires, sometimes two at the same street. There were 34 bonfire permits issued on a Saturday in mid-August, as another example. With the arrival of fall and cooler weather, the program still appears t...

Oh rats! Here’s where NYC ranks on list of ‘America’s Rattiest Cities’

Image
Rats in the Big Apple are gnawing their way to the top! New York City came in at No. 3 on a list of “America’s Rattiest Cities” — fueled in part by restaurant closures amid the coronavirus crisis. Only Los Angeles and Chicago ranked worse in food-scrap-starved rats running wild, according to a report from the pest control company Orkin. “The pandemic-driven closure of restaurants forced rodents to find new food sources. Without food waste to consume, these pests were seen scavenging new areas and exhibiting unusual or aggressive behavior,” the company said in a press release . To determine which cities were most infested with the filthy furballs, the company reviewed the number of new rodent treatments administered in residential and commercial buildings over the past year. Washington, DC, came in just after the Big Apple, ranking fourth-worst, followed by San Francisco and Detroit. It was the third year in a row perpetually rat-plagued New York City came in at No. 3, while Chicago w...

Image
Cops have caught up to two more members of a violent city Bloods gang whose leaders include a close pal of hip-hop star Cardi B, authorities said Friday. Robert Baley, a 43-year-old with the street name of “Dead Eye,” was arrested Thursday in Scranton, Pa., and 49-year-old Augustus Ingram, a k a the “Elevator,” was busted Wednesday in New York City, according to federal and local police. The two men were arrested in connection with the 59 Brims gang, a murderous drug-trafficking ring that has been around for at least a decade, authorities said. Earlier this year, the feds charged Willie Evans and Yonette Respass — the alleged godfather and godmother of the gang. Respass is more widely known a close friend of Cardi B, who has been a vocal supporter of the 29-year-old. Members of the gang have “promoted and celebrated, in music and on social media” their criminal exploits and threatened witnesses with violence, the indictment reads. The gang had been running a criminal enterprise since ...

Logan Hogan Maryland's disgrace to Democracy throws vote away "to make a statement"

Image
The Republican (in name only) governor of Maryland recently received his presidential ballot and did not vote for his party's leader, Donald Trump . Instead, Gov. Larry Hogan told The Washington Post that he cast a write-in vote last week for late President Ronald Reagan . Hogan, 64, said that by throwing away his vote to make a statement, he thought he “could help a little bit and show Democrats the kind of Republican they can feel comfortable voting for.” “I know it’s simply symbolic. It’s not going to change the outcome in my state,” Hogan told the Post, referring to Maryland's reliable history of voting Democratic. “But I thought it was important to just cast a vote that showed the kind of person I’d like to see in office.” Hogan is not alone: A vocal minority of GOP state leaders have turned their back on Trump during his push for re-election. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker told CNN earlier this month that he won’t vote for Trump, while their Republican colleague in Ve...

ABC silent after Biden town hall attendees identified as ex-Obama speechwriter, wife of prominent Democrat

Image
So much for fair and unbiased. However we should expect nothing less from media giant  ABC, who is keepin g silent amid growing criticism of its town hall with Joe Biden after two of the attendees who asked the Democratic nominee questions were identified as an Obama speechwriter and the wife of a prominent Pennsylvania Democrat. One of the questioners was Nathan Osburn, who worked for the Office of Public Affairs at the Commerce Department under the Obama-Biden administration and at the Small Business Administration. Osburn's profession was listed as "communications" on a graphic and his home city was listed as Philadelphia. Another questioner was Mieke Haeck, who ABC identified as a physical therapist from State College, Pa. Haeck is also the wife of Ezra Nanes, who in 2018 ran for Pennsylvania state Senate Republican Majority Leader Jake Corman. Nanes is currently an at-large member of the Centre County Democratic Committee. Nanes praised his wife's appearance a...

DEA seizes record amount of meth in Southern California stash houses

Image
The US Drug Enforcement Administration recovered over 2,200 pounds of methamphetamine earlier this month in Southern California, the agency’s largest-ever domestic seizure of the drug, officials said Wednesday. The agency executed the bust on Oct. 2 at stash houses in Riverside County, east of Los Angeles, with ties to the Sinaloa cartel, the DEA said in a statement. “The largest DEA domestic seizure of methamphetamine in history is a significant blow to the cartels, but more importantly it is a gigantic victory for communities throughout Southern California and the United States who have had to deal with the torrent of methamphetamine coming into their neighborhoods,” DEA Acting Administrator Timothy Shea said at a Wednesday press conference. Along with 2,224 pounds of meth, the DEA also seized 893 pounds of cocaine and 13 pounds of heroin.

Text messages show raw and intimate exchange between Joe and Hunter Biden

Image
A raw series of text messages show Joe Biden offering fatherly comfort as his son, Hunter, lamented from a rehab facility about being a “f–ked up addict who can’t be trusted” and had damaged his dad’s political career. The intimate family exchange took place on February 24, 2019, two months before Joe launched his campaign for the White House. “Good morning my beautiful son. I miss you and love you. Dad,” the elder Biden wrote at 6:57 a.m. Hunter responded with a lengthy diatribe about his ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle , and his father’s political advisers, and he also complained bitterly about a conversation with his sister-in-law-turned-lover, Hallie Biden . “For f–ks sake hallie for the first time [in] 17 days talks to me to say im an embarrassment. To MY family,” Hunter wrote. He then admitted, “Well dad, the truth is as you and hallie point out — I am a f–ked up addict that cant be…Trusted relied upon nor defended.” More

Bill banning ‘no-knock’ raids in Virginia sent to Gov. Northam

Image
Virginia’s General Assembly passed a bill banning “no-knock” search warrants Wednesday, clearing the way for it to go to Gov. Ralph Northam’s desk. “I applaud my colleagues in the General Assembly for supporting HB 5099 ,” Virginia Delegate Lashrecse Aird, who introduced the bill, said in a statement. “This bill was drafted with significant input from stakeholders from both law enforcement and the criminal justice community, working together towards the goal of protecting more lives in the Commonwealth.” The bill passed the House of Delegates last month. However, It's just now being reported! The legislation, in part, is a response to the death of Breonna Taylor in Kentucky earlier this year. She was killed at home after officers entered to serve a no-knock drug warrant connected with a suspect who did not live there and was already in police custody. More

2-year-old girl’s arm ripped off after she reaches into cage of wolfdog

Image
A 2-year-old Michigan girl’s arm was torn off when she reached inside the cage of a wolfdog at her grandmother’s sanctuary and tried to grab its collar, according to reports. Brenda Pearson, who founded the Howling Timbers Animal Sanctuary in Muskegon, described the horrifying July incident involving Sophia Scraver in a lengthy post on Facebook . She wrote that she believes her granddaughter “was interested in the shiny collar being worn by one of the wolf dogs. A wolf dog that was friendly, loved to be groomed and preferred human attention over treats.” Pearson continued: “We believe she grabbed his collar and he pulled to get away. She then got her arm stuck in the fence at the elbow and lost her arm. Pearson said she was investigated by Child Protective Services officials “who found no wrong doing on my part.” Last Friday, authorities said they found 47 “illegal” wolfdogs at the facility, in addition to “six red foxes, three coyotes, four eastern box turtles and two fawns,” accordin...

San Francisco may change 'inappropriate' names of 44 city schools, including Washington and Lincoln

Image
At least 44 schools in San Francisco could see their names changed, as officials believe some were named after those with potential connections to slavery, genocide and colonization, according to a report on Thursday. The San Francisco School Names Advisory Committee researched school names and identified certain ones for renaming. Some Principals and parents questioned the wisdom of devoting energy on this issue when so many children continue to take remote lessons. Jonathan Alloy, whose children attend one of the schools on the list, criticized the timing. He said kids are already forced to conduct distance learning, which negatively impacts minorities more so than their peers, according to the San Francisco Chronicle . “Principals are devoting resources to this," he said. “We’re not actually helping disadvantaged children by changing the name of the school they can’t attend." Some of the schools listed under the proposed name changes included Abraham Lincoln High School, ...

Notre Dame colleagues call on Amy Coney Barrett to halt Supreme Court confirmation

Image
Eighty-eight faculty members at the University of Notre Dame have penned an open letter to colleague and Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, asking her to halt the confirmation process until after the presidential election. The group — which does not include any instructors at Notre Dame Law School, where Barrett, 48, teaches — called on her to “take this unprecedented step” in light of three considerations. “First, voting for the next president is already underway,” the letter read. “According to the United States Election Project, more than seven million people have already cast their ballots, and millions more are likely to vote before election day. “The rushed nature of your nomination process, which you certainly recognize as an exercise in raw power politics, may effectively deprive the American people of a voice in selecting the next Supreme Court justice.” More

Critics pan NBC town hall, Savannah Guthrie for 'debating' Trump, ABC for giving 'softballs' to Biden

Image
Critics piled on NBC News for devoting its town hall to what appeared to be a "debate" between President Trump and moderator Savannah Guthrie, while Democratic nominee Joe Biden was lobbed "softballs" at his ABC News town hall. Viewers who tuned into the Peacock Network expected to hear questions from voters. However, Guthrie spent most of the first 20 minutes grilling Trump on masks and White supremacy. That didn't sit well with many observers. "How long will NBC go before giving an actual voter the chance to ask a question?" asked pollster Frank Luntz, who later called the "town hall" descriptor of the program "false advertising." "A third of the way into the NBC town hall and NO questions from the PEOPLE!!!" White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany exclaimed. "Savannah Guthrie posture toward Trump compared to Lester Holt’s toward Biden is night and day," The Hill media reporter Joe Concha wrote, recallin...

Biden campaign ‘glad’ Twitter, Facebook censored Post’s Hunter Biden exposé

Image
Joe Biden’s campaign on Thursday said they had no problem with Twitter and Facebook’s unprecedented censoring of The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s business dealings , even admitting they were “glad” it happened. Biden campaign National Press Secretary Jamal Brown went so far as to claim that the gagging of one of America’s largest newspapers “made clear” that The Post’s reporting on Ukraine- and China-related documents from a Hunter Biden hard drive were untrue. “What is your campaign’s response to this article and do you think that Twitter is doing the right thing here?” a Cheddar anchor asked Brown of the forming political maelstrom. “I think Twitter’s response to the actual article itself makes clear that these purported allegations are false and they’re not true and glad to see social media companies like Twitter taking responsibility to limit misinformation,” Brown said. Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans on Thursday said they will hold a hearing next week to...

ABC's George Stephanopoulos avoids explosive Hunter Biden report during Biden town hall

Image
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos failed to ask Joe Biden any questions about the explosive New York Post report about his son Hunter Biden.  The Post rocked the political world on Wednesday with a report that revealed a 2015 email Hunter Biden allegedly received from a member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, who appeared to thank him for "giving an opportunity" to meet his father, then-Vice President Biden. The Democratic nominee has previously said he has "never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings." While the Biden campaign previously denied that the former VP had any scheduled meetings with the Burisma adviser at the time, the Democratic nominee received a pass from Stephanopoulos during the 90-minute town hall. NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck concluded that the omission is "another example of censorship and collusion." More

New Jersey high schooler says teacher ordered him to take down Trump banner at home before virtual class

Image
A New Jersey teen said a teacher ordered him to take down a Donald Trump banner hanging behind him in his home during a virtual class last week, according to local reports. Anthony Ribeiro, a 17-year-old student at Toms River North High School said the teacher saw the banner and told him to remove it before class. “He said, 'Anthony take the sign down right now' and I looked up, seeing class hasn't started yet,” the teen told NBC New York . “I was on my phone. I looked up at him and kind of just looked back down like I didn't hear him.” But the teacher repeated the request and said Ribeiro would have to leave if he refused. “I waved goodbye, and I was gone,” the teen said. District officials told the outlet they were addressing the incident and that Ribeiro “was not in violation of any general code of conduct or any policy specifically related to virtual learning.” The teen’s mother, Tara Jost, told NJ Advance Media the incident shocked her. “My son takes his academ...

Ad Exposing LeBron James' China Hypocrisy Reportedly Rejected Over Fear of Upsetting the NBA Star

Image
An advertisement exposing NBA star LeBron James’ silence on human rights abuses in China was reportedly refused by a billboard company over fears the sign would anger the basketball player. The ad, created by the National Legal and Policy Center, was to be posted earlier this month near the entrance to the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida, according to the New York Post . Riffing on James’ refusal to call out injustices by the Chinese government, the ad features his picture with the country’s red banner blocking his mouth. “We cannot accept the ad as it is right now,” a representative for billboard company Outfront Media reportedly told NLPC. “The Chinese flag is Ok, and the silence is violence is ok.” The problem was with James’ image, which Outfront refused to publish in the attack ad. With the ad’s planned location being so close to the bubble, it would have certainly been seen by the NBA superstar. “They thought that we were singling him out and were afraid that the ad would hurt LeB...

Puppy set on fire at an Ohio park, suspect still on the loose

Image
A puppy inside a cage at an Ohio park was set on fire last weekend — and investigators are still looking for those responsible for the heartless act. The dog, who survived the horrifying ordeal, was found by firefighters at Walnut Hill Park in Columbus just after noon on Sunday, authorities said. When members of the Columbus Division of Fire first arrived, they noticed the burning remnants of a plastic cage underneath a tree. The firefighters then spotted the dog running around the park. The pooch had black plastic melted onto her back, authorities said. The puppy was treated, and subsequently adopted, by staff at the Diley Hill Animal Medical Center and “is doing remarkably well,” according to the Columbus Division of Fire.

Man in Trump gear booted from Southwest flight for removing mask to eat

Image
A black man wearing a “Trump 2020” mask was kicked off a Southwest Airlines after lowering it to eat a snack, a video appears to show. The passenger, who was also sporting a “Black Voices for Trump” hat, is seen talking to a crew member while holding a bag of mixed nuts and wearing a face mask under his chin. “Tell us the policy that says he cannot eat with his mask off?” a woman filming the video can be heard asking in the footage shared by SV News . “It’s the hat and the mask, it’s not the eating.” A second video then shows the man leaving the Tuesday morning Tampa-to-Dallas flight. The incident, which Southwest said came after the man repeatedly refused to wear a mask, was soon tweeted by Donald Trump Jr. , who bashed the airline. “WTF??? This is disgusting. I’ve been on a thousand flights in the last few months and everyone lowers their masks to eat and drink. I did it on a southwest flight earlier this week,” he wrote. More

Trump slams censorship of The Post in first comment on Hunter Biden exposé

Image
President Trump on Wednesday slammed the “terrible” censorship of The Post’s bombshell exposé on Hunter Biden’s hard drive and an alleged email linking Joe Biden to his son’s job at a Ukrainian energy company. “So terrible that Facebook and Twitter took down the story of ‘Smoking Gun’ emails related to Sleepy Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in the @NYPost,” Trump tweeted from Air Force One en route to a campaign rally in Iowa. “It is only the beginning for them. There is nothing worse than a corrupt politician. REPEAL SECTION 230!!! Twitter blocked users from sharing The Post’s link to the story, which describes an alleged 2015 email from Burisma energy executive Vadym Pozharskyi thanking Hunter Biden for “giving an opportunity to meet your father.” Biden, who led the Obama administration Ukraine policy, said last year, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” including his reported $83,000 monthly pay on Burisma’s board. Twitter said Wednesday it preven...

Image
So let me see if I get this straight? RINO Romney hating on pretty much everybody, for hating 😂 Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah is stressing that the country’s politics has “moved away from the spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation.” Romney, the most vocal Republican critic of President Trump in Congress, took to Twitter on Tuesday to take aim at the president. He starts out by saying, "I have stayed quiet with the approach of the election", really Senator? He then goes on his diatribe, "The President calls the Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate 'a monster;' he repeatedly labels the Speaker of the House 'crazy;' he calls for the Justice Department to put the prior President in jail;” Romney wrote. And he stressed that the president “attacks the Governor of Michigan on the very day a plot is discovered to kidnap her.” But Romney also criticized Democrats, spotlighting that they “launch blistering a...

Image
Georgia Democratic State Rep. Vernon Jones blasted his party's vice presidential nominee, Sen. Kamala Harris , as "dangerous" for the minority community in an interview with Fox Business Network Tuesday. Jones, who has endorsed President Trump's reelection, told " Making Money with Charles Payne " that there "would be chaos if Joe Biden was to win" the White House next month. "First of all, Joe would not be the president," Jones told host Charles Payne. "It would be who? Kamala Harris. She will do any and everything, say any and everything for power. She is intellectually dishonest. She is flip-flopping. She has gone back and forth. "A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris to be president, not Joe Biden," Jones emphasized. "She is dangerous." Jones who is black himself, claimed that Harris was responsible for putting more than 130,000 "Black and brown" Americans behind bars during her tenure as...

NBC News' decision to schedule Trump town hall during ABC's Biden event 'stunning and shameful,' critics say

Image
NBC News' decision to host a town hall event with President Trump at the exact same time as ABC’s already scheduled event with Democratic nominee Joe Biden is getting criticized by staffers at both networks, stunned media watchers and angry viewers calling for a boycott of the network. “NBC is doing a real disservice to American voters who won’t get to hear from both candidates," an ABC News insider told Fox News. "They should be ashamed of failing in their public service duty three weeks before a presidential election to chase ratings instead." The New Yorker's Sue Halpern called the decision "stunning and shameful," while veteran political analyst Jeff Greenfield called it "indefensible." The issue was a hot topic on Twitter, where some people even speculated that NBC is trying to help Trump by scheduling the events for the same time while others called to boycott the network. Some of the backlash even came from within the Peacock Networ...

Medusa sculpture to be unveiled across from Manhattan court to honor #MeToo

Image
A seven-foot statue of Medusa holding the head of a Greek hero will soon stand across from a Manhattan courthouse where Harvey Weinstein was convicted to honor the #MeToo movement. “Medusa With The Head of Perseus” will be installed Monday and unveiled the following day in a park across from Manhattan Supreme Court, according to the group behind the statue. “The place chosen is not accidental, since there they judge cases for crimes related to violence against women,” Sculptor Luciano Garbati wrote on Instagram . The 1,000-pound bronze sculpture is a reimagined version of Medusa, a figure of ancient Greek mythology who was raped by one of the most powerful gods, Poseidon. But instead of Poseidon being punished, Medusa was blamed and transformed into a monstrous beast with snakes for hair, as well as a gaze that could turn men into stone. She was exiled and later hunted down by Perseus, who then displayed her head on his shield as a trophy. The new effigy, however, gives Medusa a differ...

During questioning on Wednesday Senator Josh Hawley asked Judge Amy Coney Barrett about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and their massive Ukrainian pay for play scandal. Senator Hawley: This morning Senator Leahy asked you about the Foreign Emolument Clause. There allegations about foreign influence and since he asked you about it. He asked you if it was best described as an anti-corruption clause. You might remember that in terms of foreign influence and foreign interference. And he referenced the president and various allegations about foreign influence. Since he asked you about it and he asked about foreign influence in government I think it’s only fair to ask hypothetically, let’s a vice president of the United States who hypothetically had an alleged son who hypothetically worked for a foreign oligarch who then sold access to his father the vice president and his father then intervened in a case to make sure the oligarch wasn’t prosecuted. So the second question I would ask you is hypo...

Smoking-gun email reveals how Hunter Biden introduced Ukrainian businessman to VP dad

Image
Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post. The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month. “Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.

An Idaho man who twice unsuccessfully ran for governor has been charged with murdering a 12-year-old Colorado girl who disappeared more than 35 years ago, authorities said. Steven Dana Pankey, 69, of Meridian, was arrested Monday on charges of first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping and related counts in the death of Jonelle Matthews, his former neighbor in Greeley, who vanished from her home on December 20, 1984, Weld County District Attorney Michael Rourke announced Tuesday . Court documents obtained by CNN show Pankey had lived roughly two miles away from Jonelle’s home when she disappeared and about 10 miles away from where her body was found in July 2019 in a desolate field southeast of Greeley.

Ex-White House doctor questions Biden's 'mental capacity' to be president

Image
Former White House physician Ronny Jackson questioned Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s mental acuity and suggested that he is unfit for office due to his lapses on the campaign trail. Jackson, who is running as the GOP’s candidate for a House seat in Texas’ 13th congressional district, made the remarks during a conference call organized by the Trump campaign. The 53-year-old, who served as doctor to former President Barack Obama as well as President Trump, acknowledged that he never personally treated Biden and said his remarks were those of a “concerned citizen” rather than a physician or candidate for office. “As a citizen of this country, I watch Joe Biden on the campaign trail and I am concerned that he does not have the mental capacity, the cognitive ability to serve as our commander in chief and head of state,” Jackson said during the call. Trump has repeatedly questioned Biden’s mental acuity ahead of the 2020 election, referring to his opponent as “Sleepy Joe” at r...

The city of Los Angeles has been ordered to pay the National Rifle Association $150,000 after Mayor Garcetti and co. were caught trying to strong arm and intimidate city contractors who had ties to the gun organization. Federal Judge Stephen Wilson, of the Central District of California, ruled that the city’s tactics were a violation of the contractors’ 1st Amendment rights of free speech and free association. The city will be paying out $100,000 plus attorney fees. In April of last year, the city passed a resolution that included all of the normal rhetorical bloviations about guns, and read, in part “The City of Los Angeles has enacted ordinances and adopted positions that promote gunsafety and sensible gun ownership. The City’s residents deserve to know if the City’s public funds are spent on contractors that have contractual or sponsorship ties with the NRA. Public funds provided to such contractors undermines the City’s efforts to legislate and promote gun safety…. this ordinance ...

Dolloff has far left posts on his social media going back nearly a decade, and in 2016 he bragged about calling a Trump supporting stranger a racist to their face. “Ran into a Trump supporter with a Trump Button on their shirt. Told them i like their im a racist button. They had nothing to say,” Dolloff wrote, with the hashtag #F-ckTrump. The Denver Police claimed in a statement on Saturday evening that the shooter was not aligned with Antifa, but many are now questioning if that claim is true.

Oscar Tymchuk spoke about the generous gift and said that though OHS was receiving several donations in the aftermath of the damage, Oscar’s gesture was priceless.
