Daughter of US Congressman Uses Official License Plates For Lyft Ride Sharing

Representative Elijah Cummings' daughter Adia (pictured together at her graduation) used his car with Congressional plates while working for Lyft.

[From article]

Thousands of drivers work part-time for Lyft to make a little bit of extra money on the side, but not many of them are congressmen earning a $174,000 salary.
So it's no wonder eyebrows were raised when Democrat Elijah Cummings' Honda - complete with Congressional plates - was spotted picking up cab fares around Washington, DC.
The black car carrying a sticker for the car service app was spotted by eagle-eyed Lyft user Dustin Andres, who asked: 'So, which member of Congress drives Lyft in DC?'
The vehicle was carrying plates for Maryland's 7th Congressional District - which Cummings represents - as well as the pink Lyft logo.
However, it has since emerged that his daughter was the mystery taxi driver.
When questioned about the car, Cummings told the Washington Post that his daughter, Adia, was working part-time for Lyft to help pay her for college.
'In an effort to earn some extra money to pay her expenses at school, she signed up for a part-time position with one of the ride-sharing companies,' the congressman said.
'They, in turn, gave her a sticker to apply to the windshield of the car,' he added.
The plates allow drivers to park cars in designated areas near certain buildings in Washington, DC, including the Capitol.
Cummings says he has asked Adia to remove the plates but said she could continue to use the car, which he owns and is not taxpayer-funded.
Adia is looking for a job after graduating from Howard University in May.
'My daughter has now graduated from Howard and I could not be more proud of her,' Cummings told CNN.
'I have told her she can continue to use my car while she pursues full-time employment,' he added.
Lyft drivers do not have to own the car they use, but they must be insured.

Two Policemen Dead After Shooting In Abingdon, Maryland. Suspect Killed.

Two sheriff's deputies have died after a gunman opened fire in a crowded Panera restaurant in Abgindon, Maryland, on Wednesday.

[From article]
Two sheriff's deputies have died after a gunman opened fire inside a crowded Panera restaurant in Maryland.
David Brian Evans, 67, first fatally shot a sheriff's deputy in the head inside the restaurant in Abingdon at lunchtime on Wednesday, then killed the other deputy in a shootout later, authorities said.
The suspect was also killed in the exchange of gunfire not far from the Boulevard at Box Hill, the shopping center where the restaurant was located, Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said.
Remarkably, no bystanders were hurt.
Police have not released a motive for the shooting, but the sheriff said he believed the first deputy who approached the gunman was shot 'because he was wearing a uniform.'

[. . .]
Evans had warrants out for his arrest in Harford County and Florida, where he was accused of assaulting a police officer and fleeing and eluding.
Gahler said a loaded handgun was recovered from him.
The slain officers were described as a 30-year veteran and the other a 16-year veteran.[. . .]
A 15-year-old girl, who witnessed the initial shooting inside the sandwich shop, said she had been in a booth with her mother just 10 feet away when the terror unfolded.
Sophia Faulkner said she almost sat right next to the gunman – but instead, she and her mother chose a booth a little further away because the man appeared 'sketchy' and disheveled.
He was sitting in the back and hadn't ordered any food, she said. A sheriff's deputy arrived at the restaurant at 11.46am to check on a report about someone causing a problem. 

[. . .]
The deputy tried to talk to the man, who was apparently known to workers there. The deputy sat down beside him, asked how he was doing and the man shot him in the head.
'I saw him fall back out of his chair and the blood started coming out,' Faulkner said.
'I didn't know how to process it. My mom said, 'What's going on?' and I said, 'Get down, someone just got shot.'
She said 'everyone started screaming' after the gunshot and children — out of school because of snowfall — were running around.
'I was freaking out so much and everybody was running to one side of the store. Families were huddling together. I didn't really know what was going on,' she said.
'You see this stuff online and in movies and on TV when it happens, but you never think you're going to go out to lunch one day with your mom and it's just going to happen.'
Her mother, Lynn Faulkner, a registered nurse, said that she recognized the man and believed he was mentally ill and in need of social services.

[. . .]
'I've seen him there frequently, and I've seen him at areas of the library,' she said. 'He's definitely in need of mental health care, and he never should have had a gun.'
'He knew what he was doing, because he shot right for the head,' she continued.
'Apparently, the policeman tried to come up to him, 'Hi, how are you doing,' - he's living in this store - and, 'Can you try to move on?' or 'Why are you here today?' and that's when he immediately pulled out the gun and shot him.'
The gunman fled and witnesses gave officers a description of him and told them which way he was headed, the sheriff said.
After at least one deputy caught up with him, shots were exchanged. The deputy was left severely wounded and the suspect dead, the sheriff said.
'I saw two women and a child run from Panera to our back door. They were hysterical. They said they heard gunshots,' said bartender Mike Davis, who was working at the Ocean City Brewing Co.'s Taphouse.

Maryland Public School Students "Forced" to Convert to Islam

[From article]
The Thomas More Law Center, which is a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has filed (1/27/16) a federal lawsuit on behalf of former Marine, John Kevin Wood, and his wife, Melissa, who refused to allow their teenage daughter to be subjected to Islamic “indoctrination and propaganda” in her high school World History class. The lawsuit was filed against the Charles County Public Schools, the Board of Education, and the Principal and Vice-Principal of La Plata High School located in La Plata, Maryland.
The Woods’ daughter was forced to profess and to write out the Shahada in worksheets and quizzes. The Shahada is the Islamic Creed, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” For non-Muslims, reciting the statement is sufficient to convert one to Islam. Moreover, the second part of the statement, “Muhammad is the messenger of Allah,” signifies the person has accepted Muhammad as their spiritual leader. The teenager was also required to memorize and recite the Five Pillars of Islam.
[. . .]
But the real problem in high school education is the presumption that students should be educated (indoctrinated?) by being given the Board of Education version of the most accurate distilled truth -- that students can’t handle controversy. How about being given the pros and cons of claims made about culture and history. Fine. Present the claim that Islam is the religion of peace. But then give the arguments pro and con. The idea that a fair-minded committee should feed the students the final distilled version of the truth is a recipe for indoctrination, not education.

[From article]
A Maryland woman and two teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder in an alleged double slaying triggered by a love triangle gone bad, police said on Friday.
Ann Anastasi, 42, of Lothian, Maryland, was arrested on Thursday and charged with the killing of her husband, Anthony Anastasi, 40, and housemate Jacqueline Riggs, 25, Anne Arundel County Police said in a statement.
A 13-year-old girl was also arrested on Thursday. Police arrested her boyfriend, Gabriel Struss, 18, in Annapolis, Maryland, on Friday, the statement said.
Riggs had been romantically involved with Anastasi and his wife, police said, citing witness interviews and forensic evidence.
A 13-year-old girl was also arrested on Thursday. Police arrested her boyfriend, Gabriel Struss, 18, in Annapolis, Maryland, on Friday, the statement said.

Responding to a call, police found Anastasi dead from a gunshot in his home’s master bedroom in the early afternoon of Oct. 5. They found Riggs stabbed to death in the basement.
She had moved into the basement this summer, causing tension in the household, according to police.
The move prompted Ann Anastasi to recruit the 13-year-old girl and, later, Struss to help kill her husband and Riggs, the statement said.

Black Maryland Gentleman Threatens To "Kill All The White People"

Charles County Sheriff's Office
Carlos Anthony Hollins, 20, was arrested Wednesday after the La Plata Police Department says he urged people to 'kill all the white people' on his Twitter page.

The White House and Al Sharpton had no comment.

[From article]
Updated at 9:56 PM EDT on Thursday, Sep 3, 2015
A Charles County man was arrested Wednesday after he threatened in a social media post to kill white residents of La Plata, Maryland, police say.
Carlos Anthony Hollins, 20, posted a violent message on Twitter Wednesday afternoon, according to the La Plata Police Department.
“IM NOT GONNA STAND FOR THIS NO. MORE. TONIGHT WE PURGE! KILL ALL THE WHITE PPL IN THE TOWN OF LA PLATA," police say a message posted to his account at 4:45 p.m. Wednesday said.
The tweet shared by police concluded with #BlackLivesMatter.
"Purge" is a reference to the "The Purge" film series. Both the original 2013 movie and its 2014 sequel depict a night when all crime is legal for 12 hours and no police, fire and medical services are available.

The 38-year-old lawmaker was divorced in November from husband Barak Sanford and purportedly became upset when Sanford’s finance was inside his suburban Washington house when she arrived June 27 to drop off their two children, the newspaper reported.
Sanford told police that he asked Kelly to leave after she started ringing the doorbell and banging on the door. He also purportedly gave them a cellphone video of Kelly repeatedly ringing the doorbell, exposing her breasts and “with one breast in each hand [shaking] them up and down,” The Post also reported.Police purportedly also asked Kelly to leave before arresting her in connection with the misdemeanor charges.

Maryland Gentleman Charged With Homicide of Teen Stepdaughter

Melissa Skye Collins, 17

[From article]
A western Maryland man has been charged with murdering his 17-year-old stepdaughter after her body was found hidden his basement on Wednesday, police say.
A neighbor flagged down officers in Hagerstown, Maryland on Wednesday afternoon to report that Melissa Skye Collins hadn't made it to school that morning and hadn't been seen since 7.30am.
Officers became suspicious of her step-father Ernie Chase when they interviewed him and he refused to let them inside.
After obtaining a search warrant several hours later, police discovered Melissa's body 'concealed within the house,' according to police.
[. . .]
Her biological father, Lynn Hassinger [. . .] who lives two hours north of Hagerstown in Pennsylvania, said that she told him that she was scared of her stepfather because he was a violent person.
But, she decided to live with her mother and stepfather in Maryland so that she could look after her little sister and two younger brothers.
Melissa was a senior at North Hagerstown High School who was set to graduate on June 6. She was preparing to attend Messiah College, a Christian liberal arts school in eastern Pennsylvania that she picked because it was close enough that she could be near her family.
Her devastated father is beside himself with grief at losing his daughter.
[. . .]
'Everything in her life was going great. Everything except her stepfather.'

White Maryland Man Beaten By Gang of Black Teens

Richard Fletcher

[From article]
Fletcher is white while his attackers are black.
Lamb said that the attack was “definitely a race thing” and that he has witnessed other incidents of black students targeting whites in the neighborhood.
Lamb said he has been called racial pejoratives in the past and had “rocks thrown at my trucks, rocks thrown through the front window of the office.”
Last month he told WBAL that the violence in the neighborhood “has gotten out of hand now, gone too far.”
“The kids walk on top of cars, kick dogs, let dogs out, throw trash, steal milk from school and throw it at houses, threaten neighbors with bodily harm,” Lamb said.
[. . .]
Only three of Fletcher’s attackers have been arrested so far. Antoine Lawson, 17, was charged with attempted murder and will be tried as an adult. A 15-year-old girl was also charged with assault. Another unidentified 17-year-old male was arrested this week and will be charged as an adult.

Maryland Corrections Officer Arrested For Shooting At NSA and Individuals

Prince George's Co police searching Beltsville home of Hong Young suspect in ICC shooting yesterday.

While collecting every phone call and email sent or made by Americans, the NSA was unable to identify this dangerous public official. Instead the massive resources of the US and state governments joined by crime families, target law abiding individuals, harassing, provoking, disturbing their sleep, tampering with their phones and computers. No need to stir up dangerous persons. Better to focus on harmless citizens. Isn't that what government is for?

[From article]

Hong Young, 35, of Beltsville, Maryland, is charged with attempted first-degree murder and other charges in the shootings in Anne Arundel, Prince George's and Howard counties. From 2012 until his resignation in May 2014, Young worked as a correctional officer at a Jessup facility, according to Maryland Secretary of Public Safety Stephen Moyer. Nothing significant was found in his file, Moyer said.

[. . .]
About 6 p.m., shots were fired, striking a building near the headquarters of the National Security Association at Fort Meade. U.S. Park Police investigated a report of shots fired near the headquarters of the National Security Agency.

Updated: Episcopal Bishop of Maryland Exposed As Hit-and-run Driver In Fatal Crash

Posted December 31, 2014 3:38 PM ET; Last updated January 10, 2015 4:36 PM ET


Shame: Bishop Heather Cook, 58, has been suspended by the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, where she is the second highest-ranked member of the clergy, while the hit-and-run is investigated.

[From article]
On Dec. 27, Cook struck and killed Tom Palermo, 41, while he was riding his bicycle. According to prosecutors, Cook left the scene for 30 minutes before returning, and registered a blood-alcohol content of .22 percent after the wreck. Palermo died of a head injury at a nearby hospital later that day.
Less than four months earlier, Cook was ordained as the diocese of Maryland's first female bishop. She attended an Episcopal girls school and had served as a boarding school chaplain, an assistant at a parish in New York and a member of two diocesan staffs. Her father, also a priest, raised his family in the historic Old St. Paul's Episcopal Church rectory in downtown Baltimore. According to Cook's autobiographical statement, when Cook herself was ordained as a deacon, her father removed "the stole from around his own neck and placed it over mine."
But Cook's father, like her, had a history of alcohol abuse. In 1977, the Rev. Halsey Cook told the Old St. Paul's congregation in a sermon that he was an alcoholic suffering a relapse and seeking treatment, calling alcoholism "a rampant epidemic in our society" and a "fatal disease, not only of the body but of the mind and spirit," according to an article that year in The Baltimore Sun.
Heather Cook, too, has had repeated problems with alcohol. In 2010, Cook was charged with drunken driving on Maryland's Eastern Shore after registering a blood alcohol content of .27 percent. Police found wine, liquor and marijuana in her car. The drug charges were dropped after Cook pleaded guilty to the drunken driving offense, and she received probation.
[. . .]
In addition to felony vehicular manslaughter, Cook was charged with criminal negligent manslaughter, failure to remain at the scene of an accident resulting in serious injury and death, using a text messaging device that resulted in an accident and three drunken driving charges. If convicted of all charges, Cook could face more than 20 years in prison.

The woman bishop who killed a cyclist in a hit-and-run was chased down by a 65-year-old man on his bicycle after she fled the scene of the accident, DailyMail.com has learned.
Heather Elizabeth Cook, 58, has been suspended by the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, where she is the second highest-ranked member of the clergy, while the hit-and-run is investigated.
The bishop left bike-maker Tom Palermo to die by the side of the road after she struck him on Saturday. She later returned to the scene in what Bishop Eugene Taylor Sutton - the diocese's most senior leader- described as 'taking responsibility for her actions'.
But cyclist Moncure Lyon, who was among the first on the scene of the accident told DailyMail.com that it was only after he followed her to her home in a gated community that she gave a statement to the Baltimore police.
The development came as it was revealed that when Bishop Heather Elizabeth Cook was arrested for DWI four years ago she was so drunk she had thrown up on herself and was driving on the road shoulder with a shredded tire.
Lyon said he saw a green Subaru station wagon driving slowly by the scene as Palermo was being taken to the hospital. 'I could see its front windscreen was caved in and spidered.'
Lyon, who two years ago received a broken collarbone, two separated shoulders and torn rotator cuffs in a hit-and-run just yards from Saturday's accident, hopped on his bike and followed the damaged car as Cook left the scene on Baltimore's Roland Avenue.
'I was determined not to let her get away because the man who hit me was never found,' Lyon said.
[. . .]
District Court records show that she was stopped because she was driving slowly on the shoulder on a shredded tire. The police officer who stopped her said there was a smell of alcohol and burning rubber in the car and Cook had vomit on her shirt.
A 'metal smoking device,' two marijuana baggies, a bottle of wine and a fifth of Irish whiskey were in plain view on the passenger seat, records show. Cook was charged with marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession but those charges were dropped.

Maryland Police Stop Travelers Search For Legal Weapons

Notice that Maryland police did not stop and check the NYPD assassin who shot his girlfriend in Owings Mills, outside of Baltimore before traveling with pistol to NYC and killing two policemen.

[From article]
A year ago this New Year’s Eve, John Filippidis of Florida was driving south with his family on Interstate 95 when the Maryland Transportation Authority Police pulled over his black Ford Expedition and proceeded to raid it while his twins, wife and daughter looked on — separated in the back seats of different police cruisers.
The officers were searching for Mr. Filippidis‘ Florida-licensed, palm-size Kel-Tec .38 semi-automatic handgun, which he left at home locked in his safe. (Maryland does not recognize handgun permits issued by other states.)
[. . .]
The incident gained national attention. Mr. Filippidis went on multiple radio programs and described in detail how scared and outraged he and his family were. He wondered: How did the police know he was licensed for concealed carry, and what right did they have to search through his personal items on the side of the busy interstate filled with holiday travelers on that 10-degree day?

Police Rescue Kidnapped Philadelphia Student Nurse, Suspect Wanted in Similar Crime

 Dark past: Delvin Barnes, 37, is accused of kidnapping, raping and setting alight a teenage girl in Virginia a month before allegedly abducting a 22-year-old woman in Philadelphia

This thoughtful young man took time from his busy schedule to teach a student nurse in Philadelphia how to survive a kidnapping. He has a history of similar thoughtful crimes against women. No one was watching this young man. No police, no crime families, no Communists, no FBI informants, and no Harvard University campus police. But all of the above took turns harassing, following, insulting, ridiculing, humiliating, provoking, on property owned and operated by by the President and Fellows of Harvard College, a 70 year old white male who survived 44 years of previous criminal abuses. Having destroyed the career, reputation, social, political and economic supports of the man, teams of psychopaths continue behavior conditioning trying to make him into a homosexual. Massachusetts has unusual public safety priorities.

The man who kidnapped 22-year-old nursing student Carlesha Freeland-Gaither already had a rape conviction in Philadelphia and was wanted in Virginia for abduction, attempted murder and aggravated assault, said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey.
“He has a very extensive criminal history, a violent predator, and we’re very fortunate to get her back alive,” he told TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie.
Police took Delven Barnes, 37, into custody Wednesday night after apprehending him just outside Baltimore in Jessup, Maryland, as he tried to drive off with his victim. Freeland-Gaither has since been released to her family.

Weak Maryland Democratic Politicians Play Race Card

[From article]
Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown was supposed to have an easy victory this November. The Democrat in a state with a two-to-one voter registration advantage over Republicans was expected to coast to victory in the deeply blue state and become its first African-American governor. That’s not shaping up to be the case.
Brown is still favored to win, but polls have it much closer than conventional wisdom thought it would be. Republican challenger Larry Hogan is within single digits and gaining steam.
[. . .]
That leads to the next page, reading, “Vote for Anthony Brown as Maryland’s first African-American Governor.” And includes, “History is watching to see if we vote.”
[. . .]
We’ve seen it this cycle in North Carolina, where parishioners at a black church received fliers using images of a lynching and warning if Democrat Kay Hagan loses President Obama will be impeached, and Georgia, where Democrats told voters to vote for Democrats “to prevent another Ferguson.” Now we see it in the very, very blue Maryland.

NJ Man With Multiple Arrests in 3 States, Busted

Here is a hard-working thoughtful young man. He takes time from his busy schedule to relocate items for his clients. Unappreciative, and unconvinced they call it theft. Nonetheless, no one was watching this enterprising young man. He traveled to three states helping others lose their belongings, in order to help them get free from material wealth. No police, no crime families. No Communists and no Harvard University campus police were watching him. He was under the proverbial radar. How quaint and different the public safety priorities are in Cambridge, Massachusetts. There on property owned and operated by the President and Fellows of Harvard College, crime family associates, Communists, local police employees, FBI informants, take turns harassing an elder (70-year-old) white man about who they all say "He's crazy." They provoke, insult, intimidate, threaten, ridicule, humiliate, and broadcast relentless character assassination. For 43 years they keep him under 24/7 surveillance, disturb his sleep every one or two hours. They cause his computer to crash 30 to 40 times per hour. They say "He's unimportant." Harvard University lawyers repeatedly remind him, "No one reads your blog."Useful idiots for local politicians say "He's a coward." Is that Eric "White people are cowards" Holder's idea?

Black Democratic US Rep. Accused of Collusion With IRS Criminal Abuses

[From article]
In February 2012, Engelbrecht’s True the Vote received a letter from the IRS requesting more information about the group; one of Cummings’s letters, which Engelbrecht received in October 2012, contained questions that closely mirrored those posed by the IRS. Issa details them in his letter, strongly implying that Cummings based his letter on the one Engelbrecht had already received from the agency: Both requested information about the software True the Vote was using for voter registration, about the process the group used to train its employees, and about the vendors it used to obtain voter lists.
True the Vote’s lawyer, Cleta Mitchell, raised the prospect that the minority staff had exchanged information with the IRS at a hearing in February. “We want to get to the bottom of how these coincidences happened,” Mitchell said, “and we’re trying to figure out whether any — if there was any staff on this committee that might have been involved in putting True the Vote on the radar screen of some of these federal agencies.”
