From the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
A Harford County Sheriff’s Office Correctional Deputy is recovering, and an inmate is charged with attempted murder after he assaulted the Deputy on Sunday.
On November 20, 2022, at approximately 8:00 p.m., Corporal Michael Vesek was supervising inmate Matthew Tingler, 38, while Tingler placed a phone call. During the call, Tingler became agitated and turned to Corporal Vesek, striking him in the face with the phone receiver multiple times, knocking Corporal Vesek to the floor. Tingler continued his unprovoked assault on Corporal Vesek using the phone, then a portable radio, as a weapon, continually striking him in the face and head. Tingler then wrapped the phone cord around the semi-conscious Corporal’s neck and then attempted to manually strangle Corporal Vesek with his hands.
Upon hearing Corporal Vesek yelling for help, deputies responded and gained control of Tingler.
Medics transported Corporal Vesek to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries. He was released on Monday to continue his recovery at home.
Detectives from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division responded to the Harford County Detention Center to assume the investigation.
Tingler has been charged with attempted 2nd degree murder, 1st degree assault on a Harford County Detention Center Employee, two counts of 2nd degree assault, 2nd degree assault on a Harford County Detention Center Employee, and reckless endangerment.
Tingler has been at the Harford County Detention Center since November 15, 2022. He was being held without bond for charges including, failure to appear (FTA) – Robbery, FTA 2nd degree assault, FTA theft, burglary, motor vehicle unlawful taking, and rogue and vagabond.
Corporal Vesek is a 24-year veteran of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.
The investigation continues. No further details are being released at this time.

“House Speaker Kevin McCarthy won’t push Rep. George Santos to resign, says NY voters should decide”
I guess McCarthy doesn’t want to upset the apple cart. Kevin has absolutely no scruples — zero! He probably figures that Santos fits in very well with the likes of Jordan, Gaetz, Boebert and Greene. With a crew like that a steady flow of lies & BS is sure to follow.
Why not let voters decide? They put him in. As for his alleged financial inaccuracies, tell me how every member of Congress becomes a millionaire in one term, but their salaries don’t reflect it? You wish to spin the financial allegations as good reason to force a resignation, but in my opinion they are all completely corrupt and every last one of them should resign. Leave it to a Democrat to try and by pass the will of the people so they can try to get another Democrat in office the wrong way….
P.S. I still believe the Democrats are criminally cheating to win elections and I believe the Democratic Party should be banned on the ground of treason.
“What too many of the new GOP committee chairs have in common”
“Seventeen House Republicans will now serve as powerful committee chairs. Eleven of them voted to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election.”
An appropriate first step for these committee chairs, who ‘denied’ the outcome of the last presidential election, would be to apologize for their lunacy and now affirm that Joe Biden won the 2020 Presidential Election.
Hi Bob,
This will not age well. The entire Democratic Party, the FBI/DOJ (sorry for the redundancy to the DNC), most of the intelligence community, the legacy news media, and perhaps 81 million voters have to first accept the 2016 outcome… LOL.
Looks like good news on the inflation front. Keep up the good work, Joe!
“The annual inflation rate in the US slowed for a sixth straight month to 6.5% in December of 2022, the lowest since October of 2021, in line with market forecasts. It follows a 7.1% reading in November. Energy cost increased 7.3%, well below 13.1% in November, as gasoline cost dropped 1.5%, following a 10.1% surge in November. Also, fuel oil cost slowed (41.5% vs 65.7%) while electricity prices rose slightly faster (14.3% vs 13.7%). A slowdown was also seen in food prices (10.4% vs 10.6%) while cost of used cars and trucks continued to decline (-8.8% vs -3.3%). On the other hand, the cost of shelter increased faster (7.5% vs 7.1%). Compared to the previous month, the CPI edged 0.1% lower, the first decline since May of 2020, and beating forecasts of a flat reading. Inflation seems to have peaked at 9.1% in June of 2022 but it still remains more than three times above the Fed’s 2% target. source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics”
Revised question, which is better; 1.4% inflation rate or 6.5% inflation rate in terms of the damage to the American consumer by the economy’s performance/handling?
Yes, trending down, and that is a good thing, but still seeming several times higher than the rate inherited. So, which is better?
Try not to avoid, deflect, dodge, or convolute… just answer:
A. 1.4%
B. 6.5%
C’mon, man… be brave. Prove you are not a troll. Prove you are not a coward.
Feinstein, Schiff, and Blumenthal are pretty quiet about recent Twitter releases. Did they get caught speeding? Again!
It is kind of interesting. I stated in an earlier post regarding newly elected Congressman Santos that I feel he should resign. There should be no place for lying and deceit in politics. Especially when it relates to bearing false witness against another to attack someones reputation or to gain political traction. The most important quality a person, particularly an elected official, has is their word. This generates a question. How come the aforementioned three amigos continue to get a pass from the MSM and there Congressional counterparts. Are we experiencing a one sided system of Justice? Would the Democrats really stoop to that level?
Just finished reading Twitter File #14, WOW. The Democrats were accusing Trump of using foreign influence to affect the outcome of an election, but feeding a disinformation campaign of their own to do so! Yikes.
And the collusion with Twitter to essentially dilute the truth by making accusations first, then looking for the actual truth; but then forging ahead when they knew the lie worked with a friendly propaganda machine known as the news media!!! My goodness, a talented author could not concoct this deranged, deceptive, and entirely dishonest coup d’etat.
Bob, I am desperate for your take on this… this is monumentally bigger than Watergate could ever hope to achieve. My goodness, this alone will elevate Nixon up the rankings exponentially.
Urkidding and SoulCrusher
I am going to throw something out there and would be interested in your perspectives regarding the recent so called “discoveries” of classified documents at various locations associated with President Biden. I believe he was definitely in wrongful
or possibly unlawful possession of the information. My question is why and who was really behind this being eventually exposed and subsequently being obtained by the media.
There are a great many suspicions that Obama, the Clintons, Schumer, and other powerful progressives to name a few are actually, and continued to be, pulling Biden’s puppet strings.
Maybe they have determined that he is “damaged goods” and his ineptness has become unmanageable and actually hinders their agenda for 2024
You have Biden continual gaffes, lies, and blunders. You have Secret Service Agents and other aids allegedly leaking out (pardon the pun) reports of Mr. Biden’s frequent incidents of fecal and urinary incontinence along with his obvious confusion and disoriented behavior. Hardly a positive image for the supposed leader of the free world.
Also it appears that the more people look in to and follow the money, the Biden family syndicate is becoming more and more exposed. People are beginning to feel there is substance to the allegations. Perhaps the true leaders of the Democratic political machine feels it time to jettison Biden and all of his baggage. They have two years, with the assistance of partisan MSM to down play and ignore any and all issues associated with Biden and hope that other information disclosed by the Twitter releases might be grouped or lumped in with Biden and subsequently quietly go away. I firmly believe that the Democrats have proven to be a very calculated and sleazy group of operatives. This could be a well scripted and orchestrated plan .What do you guys think?
I believe the documents are just the tip of the iceberg and that far more will be discovered. However, I believe this is all a conjob and is a concerted effort by both sides of the aisle to get rid of Joe and place Kamala Harris as President. I’ve always thought this would happen and it seems to me that it is a Democrat priority to have the first woman as President. She is also a woman of some sort of color and will check that box off too. The truth is she will be worse than Biden.
Not a conspiracy theorist… but, why not?
Passed the magic halfway point. He can get tossed to the curb. The fix is already in for 2024, the script worked well in 2020, why not part 2? So Harris ascends and gets two more terms. That would be 10 years. Time to fundamentally shift the SCOTUS back to the left without packing or other unpopular methods. By then we’ll be unarmed, reeducated, and/or deported to camps for being ‘deplorable’, undesirable, or some other concocted reason.
Will that really happen? Doubt it. It seems the Twitter revelations combined with the hidden documents are exposing the left’s tactics. I suspect a soon to be released Twitter File will contain references to the materials in those documents illegally hidden/stored/possessed. This revelation now is safely past the midterms and preventative damage control.
It appears that Mr. Biden is rapidly moving in to the controlled waste status. A write off. It is starting to make sense why when asked if Biden should run again, at least two of the suspected puppeteers, AOC and Michelle Obama, evaded the issue. Had they already been apprised of the main plan? Who knows. It is starting to look more and more like Biden will be going down. One sad thing is Biden will probably never realize that he was played like a punk by his own side. Again the true Democratic leadership has two years, with the help of the MSM and with the DOJ in their pocket, to clover up and conceal the issues all the while pursuing their next agenda or goal.
You remember Devin Nunes, don’t ya? He was the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee during the first two years of the Trump administration. He made that “midnight run’ in March 2017 to the Whitehouse to access classified documents he mistakenly thought would bolster Trump’s claim that President Obama was “tapping my phone” before the 2016 election.
This morning he went on Fox Business to talk about the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. He claimed that if the American people were to read his 2018 memo they would be shocked. I don’t think so. In his memo he tried to cherry-pick the facts. Below is a link where you find a copy of the Nunes memo and the Democratic reply.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunes_memo
The Democratic reply will always deny the truth, set false facts and use those false facts to divide our people. Devin Nunes is an honorable man and that is why he got out of politics. All we need to know is that the Trump-Russia collusion investigation was a hoax created by politicians from both sides of the aisle that didn’t want a non career politician as President. We need more non career politicians in office to break up the establishment and the bureaucracy.
“House Republicans prepare emergency plan for breaching debt limit”
This is the kind of previously unreported deal I was concerned McCarthy would buy into to get the Speakership. Breaching the debt limit is not an option. The good news is that any type emergency plan would have to be passed by the Senate and signed by the President before the Treasury could act upon it. The bad news is if the House does not raise the debt ceiling our country GOES INTO DEFAULT.
It makes no sense to increase the debt ceiling if revenues barely pay the interest on the current debt. If you can’t understand this then something is wrong with you. You can’t write checks you can’t cover without that check bouncing. In the 22 years since Bill Clinton, the government has been irresponsible and done nothing but aid foreign nations and foreigners in this country while intentionally trying to do great harm to United States citizens. Apparently, the government has forgotten who they work for. WE THE PEOPLE do not owe the current national debt. Them the government does…
Diversion, Avoidance, and Deflection. Classic Bob! KJP watch out.
AFR News: “Baltimore’s 2023 MLK Day Parade set to take place, multiple street closures announced”
This parade had not been run since 2020. And it initially had been cancelled for 2023. Recently, Mayor Scott stepped in and rescheduled it. This was a good decision on his part. Young children. especially those who live in a racial ghetto, need to learn about Martin Luther King. Parades are a wonderful way to celebrate the life of a true hero and “Keeping the Dream Alive”
With all due respect, I find your use of the word “ghetto” appalling and an insult to the memory of Dr. King. You could use better terminology.
Doris, I truly wish that much of inner city was not a “racial ghetto” Sadly, that just not the way it is. I apologize if my choice of words upset you.
I’m sorry for being so negative. I’m just angry about the stereotypes and frustrated by the failure to confront such rampant hopelessness and poverty.
We must do more to realize Dr. King’s dream.
Thank you for your forthright commentary and your viewpoint.
Doris, I understand your anger and frustration. I share those feelings. The challenge for me is to remain optimistic and hopeful. And that one day our country will truly achieve Dr. King’s Dream.
Yep, it’s a ghetto. In addition to being a dump, shit hole, and drain on the Maryland taxpayer

“GOP House Oversight Chair Can’t Explain Why He’s Investigating Biden Classified Docs But Not Trump’s”
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/gop-oversight-chair-james-comer-biden-trump-classified-documents-hypocrisy-1234661634/
I know why he can’t explain. Pure and simple he is a hypocrite of the first order. He’s another clown in the MAGA Republican circus (Jordan, Gaetz, Greene, Boebert & Santos). Enough with the clowns. What we need now is a someone to lead the GOP party forward.
Maybe I am confused and should have paid more attention in eighth grade civics class. Congressional investigations after concluded can be referred to the DOJ. DOJ is already involved in the Trump investigation. I don’t know if you recall they executed a search and seizure warrant. That means the DOJ is aware of the situation and on it.. Don’t you think it would be a duplication of unnecessary effort by the House Oversight Committee In light of the numerous damning Twitter files they will probably be a little busy if you know what I mean. Didn’t you recently voice concerns regarding the new Republican run House being involved in too many unnecessary investigations. Again stop trying to deflect and diminish Biden’s culpability. Also “Rollingstone” being used as your source. Come on man!

Tweddle & Tweedledum, two of MAGA Republicans finest, got into a little spat. Looks like McCarthy will have to assign a bathroom monitor to supervise these two ‘so-called ladies’ when they go on restroom breaks. Just to keep everything on the up & up, I hope Kevin posts a visitor login sheet for the ladies bathroom. ?
