THE WES MOORE “HONESTMDDEMS” OPPOSITION RESEARCH PACKAGE

THE WES MOORE “HONESTMDDEMS” OPPOSITION RESEARCH PACKAGE Four months ago, Democratic candidate Wes Moore took the politically unusual step of making the “opposition research” package circulating against him in the Democratic primary a public document. Moore’s campaign filed a complaint with the State Board of Election and State Prosecutor against fellow Democratic contender John King.  Curiously, Moore counsel’s complaint contained in full the package of nearly 40 pages of documents that someone using the email HonestmdDems@gmail.com address had been circulating. Among the alleged recipients were Maryland State Education Association board members. According to the Moore campaign, the King campaign “may be responsible…

MEET DELEGATE TRENT KITTLEMAN

MEET DELEGATE TRENT KITTLEMAN

MEET DELEGATE TRENT KITTLEMAN In the mid-70’s, I wrote a weekly political column in the Howard County News and Columbia Flier. I penned more than 100 columns over the two years. And what pleases me most is that even today, I wouldn’t change a word! That “volunteer job” required a weekly discipline that has served me well, and my total immersion into local, state and federal issues created in me a deep understanding of the “politics” — both good and bad — that fuel the economy of America, as well as a lasting penchant to make it work! As you…

Government leaders, take note: Limit the tools of modern agriculture at your own peril. Government leaders, take note: Limit the tools of modern agriculture at your own peril. Sri Lanka, the Netherlands – are we next? On July 28, 2022, the Netherlands Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, asked farmers to stop their ‘life-threatening’ protests. Farmers, according to the Agency France Press, have resumed their protest. Rutte claims, “The protest by a small group of farmers on highways yesterday and this morning are unacceptable. Woefully endangering others, damaging our infrastructure, and threatening people who help clean up is beyond all limits…” So,…

A Day in the Life of a Sick and Tired Conservative in Biden’s America

7:30 a.m. Woke up and tuned in to morning news. 7:35 a.m. Watched report of thousands of migrants lined up at southern border. 7:36 a.m. Trending: Adam Schiff Moving for Monumental Change in House and a Huge New Role for Himself Thought about “Remain in Mexico.” Wished Supreme Court would have thought about it too. Wondered what Vice President/border czar Kamala Harris was doing this morning. 8:05 a.m. Stopped at gas station on the way to work. Teared up as pump flashed $5.89 per gallon at me. Made mental note to visit bank for gas loan. 8:06 a.m. Recalled John Kerry’s promise…

Total madness in the Netherlands

Gary Baise Commentaries Total madness in the Netherlands Could a similar emissions reduction program soon be targeting farmers in the United States? All of us have been hearing news reports about the Netherlands’ national program to cut nitrogen emissions to help GHG emissions. The leader of the Netherlands Party for Freedom claims the plan is “…total madness…destruction of our most important food supply, agricultural-clear cutting, and …our beautiful farmland is disappearing.” The farmers claim the proposals are “…unacceptable and inhumane, without perspective, not legally substantiated, not proportional across the sectors.” Needless to say, nitrogen emissions in greenhouse gas emissions are…

F-35 Engine Upgrade Should Help, Not Hurt European Allies

Amb. James Gilmore Commentaries F-35 Engine Upgrade Should Help, Not Hurt European Allies When I served as the U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) based in Vienna, it was plain to see how over 50 member countries valued American leadership to help promote peace, freedom and prosperity on the continent. From a military perspective, that extends well past our continued troop presence in places like Germany, where I was stationed during the Vietnam War, but also to our aerospace and defense industry which has fostered interoperability among our allies since World War II. America’s…

Glyphosate in regulatory crosshairs again

Gary Baise Commentaries Glyphosate in regulatory crosshairs again Ninth Circuit Court believes Roundup ingredient should again be reviewed by the Environmental Protection Agency.   The June 17, 2022 court decision by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals probably escaped your attention. “The panel…granted in part and denied in part a petition for review challenging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s decision determining that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup, does not pose any unreasonable risk to man or the environment.” This expert panel from the Ninth Circuit remanded EPA to look at glyphosate again. EPA has already determined…

Nitrogen cuts proposed by Dutch government

Gary Baise Commentaries Nitrogen cuts proposed by Dutch government While U.S. farmers are concerned about access to herbicides, farmers overseas could soon face new nitrogen regulations. I seldom read Politico, but on July 6, 2022, it ran a story that most American news outlets missed. The headline read Police fire on Dutch farmers protesting environmental rules. I have been writing about how environmentalists are trying to take away our crop protection devices and pesticides. Now we have another worry. I refer you to the July 6 article where Politico claims, “Dutch police fired shots at tractor-riding farmers who were protesting…

Dwight Patel w/Gov. Ehrlich, Gov. Gilmore and James Appel

Meet Dwight Patel – CANDIDATE FOR MoCo COUNCIL  – AT-LARGE

Meet Dwight Patel, Candidate for Montgomery County Council  I truly believe in the American dream of pulling one’s self up by the bootstraps. I have heard too many stories within my family and outside of my family of how people came to America with little as $20.00 in their pocket, and through hard work, they achieve the American Dream. In America, if you work hard, you can get ahead. I think the best thing the Federal, State, or local governments can do it get out of the way of the people. I have heard too many stories from a former…

The Politics of Population Density

Swing voters in suburban communities, neither rural nor urban – will have a very decided impact on who prevails on November 8th There are multiple ways to slice and dice the American electorate. The connection between population density and voting behavior deserves more consideration. A Bloomberg/City Lab analysis suggests that a political tipping point between the parties occurs at about 700 people per square mile. Their conclusion: “Most of the red counties have densities of fewer than 500 people per square mile. Purple counties are clustered at between 400 and 1,500 people per square mile. And the blue counties are those…

The Script Has Flipped on the Left's Favorite Charge Against Conservatives

The Script Has Flipped on the Left’s Favorite Charge Against Conservatives

Governor Bob Ehrlich Commentaries The Script Has Flipped on the Left’s Favorite Charge Against Conservatives Not so long ago, “mean” was a charge made exclusively by the left and targeted at will at any and all conservatives/GOPers. The indictment was generally effective, as it would place tax- and budget-cutting Republicans instantly on defense. After all, unlike socialism, capitalism does not promise a chicken in every pot and in fact recognizes there will be losers in the competitive marketplace. As a former GOP member of two legislatures, I (still) recall conversations with my colleagues regarding how best to combat the “they’re…

Will agriculture continue to have Roundup?

Gary Baise Commentaries Supreme Court says it will not hear Bayer’s bid to dismiss case against glyphosate-based weedkiller this week. The U.S. Supreme Court has last week in conference determined it will not decide Bayer AG’s bid to dismiss the case against Roundup weedkiller. It has relisted the Monsanto case for rehearing this Friday, June 17. According to Reuters, the case, Monsanto v Hardeman, was not mentioned on a list issued by the court on Monday as it decided on whether to hear pending appeals, raising at least the possibility that the justices would consider hearing it. Bayer had asked…

The Russian Federation’s Ongoing Aggression Against Ukraine

Amb. James Gilmore Commentaries The Russian Federation’s Ongoing Aggression Against Ukraine First of all, I would like to thank Oleksandr Samoilenko, the Chairman of the Kherson Oblast Council, for joining us here today to share the stories of heroism displayed by the residents of Kherson as they resist the Kremlin’s attempts to institutionalize a reign of horror and brutality in their native land. The unimaginable suffering of the men, women, and children of Kherson at the hands of Russia’s forces starkly illustrates the existential stakes of this war. Chairman Samoilenko, the United States stands with the people of Kherson during…

Our Country Has Gone Off the Rails and Democrats Could Make Things Even Worse

Governor Bob Ehrlich Commentaries Our Country Has Gone Off the Rails and Democrats Could Make Things Even Worse Wherever I go, THE QUESTION is increasingly asked: What is the ultimate goal here? This query refers to the left’s 18-month all-in experiment in woke-gone-wild federal pre-emption and spending like drunken sailors – with the usual apology to drunken sailors. To be sure, the experiment has been, shall we say, less than successful. A more brutal assessment: The country has gone off the rails. The humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan still haunts us. Inflation is waging war on the working poor. The southern…

STEM EDUCATION STEM EDUCATION IS NEEDED – NOT CRT What is STEM? STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Education which includes Computer Science.
