LOUISVILLE, KY – Progress Kentucky, a liberal group with a history of attacking Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), has emerged as a suspect in the bugging of McConnell’s DC office.
It was reported earlier this week that Mother Jones magazine had published an article based the illegal recording and highlighted comments made by McConnell and staffers regarding the potential candidacy of actress Ashley Judd against McConnell in 2014.
Billions in spending increases. Billions in tax hikes. Same-sex marriage. Repeal of the death penalty. “Green energy” subsidized by taxpayers. A state with already limited gun rights transformed into one of the most restrictive states in the nation. These are just a few examples of Martin O’Malley’s political “accomplishments”.
When O’Malley first ran for governor he was hailed as a “moderate” and “pragmatist”. Kennedyesque – more John than Teddy. O’Malley wouldn’t touch issues such a gay marriage or more restrictive gun control with a ten foot pole.
While he never hid his disdain for the death penalty, he attributed this to his Roman Catholic faith. I sympathize. I too am opposed to the death penalty – because of my pro-life beliefs. Sadly, O’Malley doesn’t allow the Church’s teachings to interfere with Democrat orthodoxy.
What happened? Barack Hussein Obama. In 2008 the Democrat party abandoned the center-left compromise which delivered two terms to Bill Clinton. National Democrats became more radical than in 1972. O’Malley, who has never hid his personal ambition and has always demonstrated fluid political and moral compasses, moved farther to the left.
WASHINGTON, DC – For those that believe only Republicans would engage in things such as illegal wire-tapping, fear not. It appears that the left doesn’t bother with legal niceties when it suits their purposes either.
Mother Jones has published an article based, in part, on illegal recordings made of Sen. Mitch McConnell discussing the possibility of a challenge from actress Ashley Judd.
While Judd has announced that she will not run in 2014, her response to the illegal act sounded and awful lot like a candidate: “This is yet another example of the politics of personal destruction that embody Mitch McConnell and are pervasive in Washington, D.C.”
The mainstream media’s response seems to be more concern about McConnell “digging up dirt” on Judd rather than the fact that an illegal act had taken place. We can only assume that ABC News has never heard of opposition research.
Monday evening a crowd of over 500 people showed up at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center to hear some of their elected officials discuss current federal and state initiatives to curtail Marylanders’ right to keep and bear arms. The meeting, hosted by Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) and Wicomico Sheriff Mike Lewis featured the two hosts, Del. Mike McDermott (R-38B), Wicomico State’s Attorney Matt Maciarello, Worcester Sheriff Reggie Mason as well as Sheriff’s (and their representatives) from around the state.
Each speaker emphasized the individual’s God-given right to bear arms, not just for hunting and sporting purposes, but for the protection of one’s person, family and community. Another common theme was the fact that pending federal and state legislation do nothing to stop gun crime, but will make criminals out of law-abiding citizens.
Wicomico Sheriff Mike Lewis spoke and acted as the moderator for the evening’s event. He emphasized the importance of our second amendment rights. He was obviously torn over the potential consequences of pending state legislation. Lewis noted that he swears an oath to protect and uphold the constitution of the United States, the state of Maryland and to enforce the laws of the state; given that most county Sheriff’s believe that this legislation strips Marylanders of their rights to keep and bear arms. Lewis provided an excellent analogy from the infamous Dred Scott decision – Slaves could not bear arms, because they are not citizens.
Congressman Harris made a moving argument regarding the consequences of attempts to strip citizens of their guns:
Many of you already know my story. My parents escaped from communism in the Ukraine right after World War II. In communist regimes, the first thing they do is disarm the citizens.
Harris also demonstrated the hypocrisy of claims that more gun control is about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals:

A 40-year-old Milford man faces charges after he led police on a high-speed chase Aug. 11 on Route 1 near Milton before crashing into a fence.
An officer tried to stop Josephi Anastasi at 11:22 p.m. for speeding while he drove southbound on Route 1 near Sylvan Acres Road, said Master Cpl. Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police.
Anastasi refused to stop and swerved through traffic at high speeds before turning onto Reynolds Road, Fournier said.
Anastasi lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a construction sign and fence before coming to a stop, Fournier said.
He ran into a cornfield where the officer arrested him. Police charged Anastasi with his fifth driving under the influence charge, resisting arrest, disregarding a police officer’s signal, driving while suspended, speeding and other charges.
Fournier said Anastasi previously was arrested for DUI in 1992, 1999, 2003 and 2005.

WASHINGTON – After more than a decade of economic progress and a relative lack of scandal, the District of Columbia is back to “enjoying” a reputation as one of America’s most corrupt and financially mismanaged cities. One city councilman is serving a three year prison sentence while another awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to federal charges of falsifying mortgage documents. A campaign consultant to Mayor Vincent Gray has admitted that Gray was elected in 2010 with help of over $600,000 in illegal campaign contributions. All three officials are Democrats.

GUMBORO, DE – Bay Shore Community Church, the church homes of the families of Nicole Bennett and the man accused of her murder, has issued a statement:
"We pray that justice will be done with respect to this tragic event," reads the statement from Bay Shore Community Church outside Gumboro.
"Bay Shore continues to cooperate fully with the authorities with respect to this investigation while also supporting and ministering to Nicole’s family," the July 7 statement reads. "When we became aware that [Burton] had a criminal record which had not been previously disclosed, he was informed that his contract would be terminated. Mr. Burton’s work for Bay Shore Community Church ended on June 14, 2012."
WHALEYVILLE, MD – A Dagsboro man has been arrested in the murder of Delaware woman Nicole Bennett. Bennett’s body was found in Worcester County last month. Maryland State Police arrested 28-year-old Matthew Burton Friday night during a traffic stop in Rehoboth Beach. Burton is reported to be a custodian at Bennett’s Church, Bay Shore Community Church. Officials are still searching for a motive in the case, but say Burton is being charged with first and second degree murder.
Maryland State Police have remained tight-lipped about the case before Burton’s arrest. They are now saying that Bennett’s cause of death was asphyxiation. Authorities are also saying that she was already dead when her body was left in the embankment off of Swamp Road in Worcester County. Bennett is survived by her husband Kevin and their three young children.
Family members told WMDT earlier this week that the family is staying strong. They still attend the church, where Nicole was last reported to be the night before she was found dead. Before the arrest, Bennett’s Father-In-Law Bob Bennett said, "It’s our faith and we’re not questioning God. It’s an evil world, evil things happen to good people and we have to be protective. I think we’re more protective than ever."
Maryland State Police say the investigation is ongoing and they are still trying to determine the actual crime scene in the case. Burton is being held at the Sussex Correctional Institution pending extradition to Maryland.

DENTON, MD – The case against former Caroline County State’s Attorney Robert Greenleaf will proceed after Judge J. Frederick Price denied motions to dismiss the case. Greenleaf is charged with two counts of sexual solicitation of a minor and showing obscene matter to a minor.
According to charging documents, Greenleaf allegedly communicated at various times between March 8, 2010, and Jan. 21, 2011, with a male police officer believing the officer was a 14-year-old girl from a computer at or near 17003 Wolf Road in Henderson.
According to the Caroline County State’s Attorney’s Office, Greenleaf tried to solicit the "girl" to leave her home for an illegal sexual encounter and to engage in the production of a visual representation that would have depicted a minor engaged in sexual conduct.
The information also said Greenleaf solicited a visual representation from the "girl," believing it would have depicted the minor as a subject of sexual conduct, and he tried to show the minor an item principally made up of the depictions of illicit sex.
Those alleged communications happened while Greenleaf served as chief deputy clerk of the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, the state’s second-highest court. Greenleaf left that position in March 2011.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA – It appears that the only folks being held hostage in Oyster Point Park Tuesday were the dozens of people like me that were barred from leaving while the Newport News police resolved a “hostage crisis” on Thimble Shoals Blvd. While I’m sure the police acted in good faith, four hours of being locked down in a parking lot was a tad frustrating, especially since I had to stay another night in Newport News to finish my business down here.
The Daily Press reports that the SWAT team entered the building but could not find the alleged perpetrator or hostage. The hostage was supposedly being held office of attorney Robert Lawrence.
A woman at scene claimed to be a relative of Lawrence and that the hostage being held was Lawrence’s son, who works in the attorney’s office. She stated that Lawrence was not in the office Tuesday. Today’s Daily Press article confirmed that the elder Lawrence was not in the office and that the police knew the identity of the “hostage” but could not locate him.
NEWPORT NEWS, VA – I came down to Newport News last night to take of a few things for the in-laws. The day started plainly enough. I dropped my in-laws off in Hampton for my father-in-law’s cataract surgery. I then left to run some errands for my mother-in-law. Now I’m sitting in Oyster Point Park, blocked in by the Newport News police while they resolve a hostage situation.
So far we’ve seen police evacuate people from the Yeatts Building at 728 Thimble Shoals Blvd. The police are letting cars out of the lot next door to the Yeatts Building but are keeping us blocked in.
I’ll post again when the situation is resolved.
CAMBRIDGE, MD – Cambridge police are looking for Demetrice D. Demby, of 706 Douglas Street in Cambridge, after Demby drove his truck at an officer and two police officers opened fire on Demby as he left the scene. This is the second officer-involved shooting in Cambridge in the last three weeks.
Shortly before 12:30 a.m., two Cambridge police officers stopped a 1995 Chevrolet truck for a traffic violation on Leonards Lane. Police requested a K-9 unit to come scan the truck for drugs.
During the search, Demby allegedly accelerated the truck and drove at one of the officers in front of the truck. That officer fired his department-issued .40-caliber Glock at Demby, police said.
A second officer also fired his pistol at Demby, police said.
The officer in front of the truck dove as it passed, and sustained injuries. Police do not know whether the officer sustained injuries from the truck or the fall, or both.
Police pursued, but lost, Demby. A short time later, police found the truck abandoned on Muir Street. The truck had damage consistent with gunshots and investigators saw what appeared to be blood inside. Police do not know if that is Demby’s blood, or if he was injured from a shot fired by police.
The injured officer needed medical treatment for injuries to his arms and legs, including a broken ankle. The other officer was not injured. Two other Cambridge police officers on the scene did not fire their weapons and were not injured.
The Maryland State Police are conducting an investigation of the shooting.
