By 601 Comments

From the Havre de Grace Police Department:

On 07/06/19, at 0056hrs, Havre de Grace Police Department Dispatch received a call from the Aberdeen Police Department advising two male juveniles were assaulted in Havre de Grace and brought to an address in Aberdeen.

The victims advised they had been assaulted outside of a residence in the 100 block of Remington Circle. Havre de Grace Police Officers responded to the area and were able to secure a residence. Havre de Grace Detectives were called to the scene to begin an investigation.

One of the victims was transported to a local hospital while the other victim was transported via Medivac to University of Maryland Shock Trauma

On 07/11/19, Detectives obtained arrest warrants for two counts each of First and Second Degree Assault on suspects in the investigation. The suspects were identified as Scott Brian Raymond Jr., who resides in the 100 block of Remington Circle Havre de Grace, Maryland. The second suspect was identified as Timothy Daniel Easton of the 700 block of Pulaski Highway Havre de Grace.

On the above date Raymond Jr. was taken into custody at his residence by Havre de Grace Police Officers without any incidents. Later on the above date Easton had responded to the Havre de Grace Police Department to turn himself in on the above charges. Both Raymond Jr. and Easton were transported to the Harford County Detention Center to see the Court Commissioner for their charges.

At this time, no further information will be provided due it being an open and active investigation.

    • Put them in jail so they can become full fledged criminals. That sounds like something Harford County will do as they don’t know how to deal any other way.

      • I mean did they not almost kill a 15 year old kid? No disrespect but that screams criminal to me. Harford County at its finest no doubt. Resident for 27 years born and raised on the rt 40 corridor. And I’ve never beat someone , let alone so bad they still need their skull reattached. Now I agree …. Harco needs to wake up and let the petty crimes go and work on rehab of people who only know that life style …. however ; these two need a lot of time to think about what they did, and even than it won’t be enough. Some of my friends are college grads. Some of them are junkies. And some of them are dead …., but I choose to give back to my community. I see how poverty and shitty parenting go hand in hand …. and I still choose to take the high road. These kids did not. I agree the profiling has to stop …. but we need to stop and think what if that was our son? Laying on life support …, I would be devistated to know these two shit heads could walk away.

    • I’m sorry, but they both deserve the felonies they are being charged with. The kid they beat the shit out of still needs a surgery to reattach his skull. Idc how you know them or don’t know them… wrong is wrong. And I guess Mr. Raymond’s parents got him a lawyer? For his JURY TRIAL. Real smooth. I hope they throw the book at him.

  6. Wonder why we havent seen any reporting from Fridays drug raid in Bel Air. But this place is quick to post Route 40 stuff. Selective news reporting with an agenda

    9+

    • Why of course…..The establishment doesn’t want outsiders to know all the issues and problems they have in BelAir. Otherwise people moving to the area will avoid it like the plague. Especially if they knew about the corruption, ineptness, and overall Boss Hogg atmosphere there is in Harford County government.

    • They Key to the Democrats winning the President in 2020
      : Impeach Trump in the House. Nixon was only impeached in the House and he resigned. The Senate has never voted to impeach! Dont worry about the Senate Republicans. Impeachment in the House will cripple and scar Trump!

        • Don’t worry too much about what Callahan thinks. Anyone that idolizes and uses Bill Maher as gospel is a real tool bag. I said it before and I will reiterate how I envision MC. A reasonably liberal arts educated liberal who’s parents probably paid for his education. I suspect he is unemployed and lives at home. I further suspect that he has never been in a fight or handled any type of physical conflict on his own. He seems to have an abundance of time to surf the net for any liberal piece or article in attempt to make his arguments. I am a 63 year old man who has been around the block. I haven’t seen and done everything but I paid my dues Mike. Can you say the same?

    • I concur that the statement made by the Louisiana police officer was inappropriate and unacceptable. Even worse it was stupid to post on social media. My question to you Bob or your possible alter ego MC is how come I have never seen you condemn the statements made by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar regarding the Jewish people? Why was she not called out for such hatred? Why do you liberal folks pick and choose the positions you wish to address.

      5+

      • We agree. It was “stupid” for anyone, especially a police officer, to make such a post on social media.

        Regarding Omar’s statement on the “Jewish people”, the first thing we have to do is agree on the facts. Please tell me “exactly” what you believe she said and maybe the context of her comments..

        1+

        • Stop playing games. You and I both know what she said and where she stands. There is no place for this kind of hatred to be ignored or tolerated. Ever! Even you Trump haters should agree unless you are total blind hypocrites

          4+

          • Please, believe me. I am not playing games. To move our discussion forward we need, if possible, to start out with a common set of facts.

            4+

          • You are playing games Bob. I have read enough of your posts and counter arguments to determine that you appear to be a reasonably intelligent person. Stop insulting my intelligence and those of the other readers with your attempts at displaying situational ignorance about Congresswoman Omar’s statements regarding her blatant anti Semitic views. I am quite sure you are well familiar but that might impact your subsequent anti President Trump rhetoric.

          • “Rep. Omar apologizes after House Democratic leadership condemns her comments as ‘anti-Semitic tropes”

            https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/02/11/its-all-about-benjamins-baby-ilhan-omar-again-accused-anti-semitism-over-tweets/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ff8639a78828

            Are these the anti-Semitic tropes you are referencing? It looks like she did the right thing by apologizing. Also, I believe the Democratic leadership took the high ground by condemning her comments, instead of turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to them. Do you agree?

            2+

      • Ok let me get this straight. In your July 22nd 0916 hours post you indicate that the Louisiana police officer’s very inappropriate comment was deleted on Facebook by the officer. Was this because he was ordered to do so or was he truly remorseful? I don’t know. In that same post you still refer to the incident and to his actions as appalling, hateful, and dangerous. In a later post (which I knew you had smarts enough to find information about) you indicate that Rep Omar apologizes after being condemned by Democratic leadership. You stated that the Democrats “took the high ground “ by condemning her actions. I did not see you end your last post by saying her statements, which were injurious to millions, were appalling or dangerous. This is a prime example of the hypocrisy of the liberal far left mind set. This will be my last post on this thread. Bob or Mike or whoever you guys are your own worst enemies. I am quite sure that President Trump thanks God every night that there are hypocrites like you guys to make more and more people come to his side. Good night and God bless

          • For the Democrats to actually declare a Constitutional crisis is a joke. The Democratic Party is the Constitutional crisis and it has been that way since FDR. If you need it explained to you take a history class….

        • Here is officer Rispoli’s original post — “This vile idiot needs a round…. And I don’t mean the kind she used to serve” To me his comment clearly promotes violence.

          Below is a link to the AP (Associated Press) Fact Check of Rep Omar’s comments, which are clearly anti-Semitic. However, they are nonviolent. Being a retired police officer, you surely must see this distinction between Rispoli’s and Omar’s comments. To me it’s almost like apples and oranges.

          • Are you sure he is talking about Omar and not AOC? AOC was a bartender, berated the Border Patrol and ICE, yet wouldn’t vote for additional funds to be appropriated to help quell the housing crisis of the immigration issue. I guess she really doesn’t mind them drinking from the toilet…..

          • trump is deporting less than OBama so the dumbass excuse they need more money is laughable. They are getting $750 per day and need more? Hell I’ll take 4, that would be a million bucks a year, I’ll cloth them, feed them, take them to a doctor. Sounds like a money maker to me.

            1+

          • I’ll agree that at $750 per day, some of those children could be put up at Trump Luxury Hotels as I just checked the rates and it seems that during the weekdays 2 children could be put up for around the $750 per day. On the weekends you could only house 1 child for $750 per day. However, is this what the American people would want? Do the children of foreign nations deserve such lavish treatment on America’s dime? I don’t think so. The $750 per day includes the costs of paying those border patrol officers, food, electric, water and even the single use pre packaged toothbrushes that already have the toothpaste on them. Quite frankly, if we can house incarcerated Americans for $85 – $170 per day, we do have to wonder why it costs $750 per day to house these children, whom are NOT Americans. Then we wonder how we ever got to be 22 trillion in debt….

          • @Bob – If the officers got fired for their comments, how come Omar gets to keep running her Al Qaeda rat trap in our Congress? You Democrats seem to be so concerned with Trump’s campaign and if there was any collusion foreign governments, but I’m more concerned with foreign dissidents and Muslim extremists being instilled in our government. REAL AMERICANS want to know why an Al Qaeda douche bag is sitting in our Congress and not being shipped back to Somalia like her dirty ass deserves? REAL AMERICANS want to know why you Democratic traitors are defending her camel toe when all that comes out of her mouth is camel dung! Quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of the Democratic Party and the constant treason they have and are bringing to this Country. Send Omar home to Somalia where her she belongs….

            4+

          • SoulCrusher, Again, the difference between Rispoli & Omar comments is the element of violence. I do not consider Omar to be a foreign dissident and/or a Muslim extremist, nor do I believe she has any contacts with Al Qaeda.

            If she decides to run again in 2020 it will be, as it should be, up to the voters of her district in Minnesota to decide whether she remains in Congress.

            America is Omar’s home!

            2) figures don’t lie liars figure
            3) all Republicans are racists and people of color are always victims

          • Before I comment on your post, could you please provide me with what you believe are the Republican operating principles? Of course, if you are unable to identify any Republican principles, I understand.

          • @Bob – Omar is a disgrace to the United States. Quite frankly, whenever she talks it makes my blood boil. She is an American hating POS that should either be shipped home to Somalia or dropped off in Yemen with the rest of the Al Qaeda crew. I would say the same about Tlaib, but she was born in America and can’t be shipped to the Palestinian side of the Gaza strip. However, Tlaib has to be the ugliest woman this side of a butt crack and that’s all there is to it….

    And here we are, these people keep voting for the same people time and time again.

    Fix Harford, Vote Democrat.

    Don’t give me that “Look at Baltimore City voting Democrat” horse shite. Harford County has not had a majority Democrat leadership in a long time and I believe things would be better off.

  15. Rep Omar is wrong. Calling the female genital mutilation question “appalling” was a mistake. She seems frustrated in this video. This is unfortunate. If she wants to survive in American politics she will need a tougher skin and a lot more patience. She should look at every question as an opportunity to express and define herself. If not, she will be a flash in the pan and gone in a hurry.

    Apparently, another Republican Senator has gone off the deep end and down Trump’s rabbit hole. It must be getting crowded down that hole. I guess she figures the President’s chances for reelection improve the easier we make it for the Russians to hack our election process and systems

    • Wrong. Every one of the scumbags that are scheduled for execution are CHILD MURDERERS. If you murder a child you should be executed. If you do a school shooting you should be executed. If you commit mass murder of innocent people you should be executed. I’m for this all the way, in the way it is being used. There are some crimes that the cops should be allowed to just blow the culprit away instead of taking them into custody. School shootings with multiple victims is a good example where the cops should just be the executioner. Do we really need to keep people like this locked up when they could just be disposed of from the get go? If you think this is a step backwards, in the way it is being used, I think you’re outta your Democratic mind…..

          • SoulCrusher, If perhaps executing a killer would restore the life of a victim, then maybe.

          • It’s NOT about restoration, rehabilitation or redemption. It’s about reaping what you sow. If you can’t understand that I don’t know what to tell you. You don’t preserve the life of those whom murder innocent children. I’m sorry, but I can’t go along with morality because where was the morality when a man entered a school to randomly kill those whom are innocent. There comes a time when you have to drop the morality BS and understand that when you victimize another person you have become a criminal and are now subject to the same victimization you reaped upon others. That is the Common Law and that is what we are really beholden to. Not the Codes of treason that your Democratic Party has illegally instituted into this perverted government you worship as a God….

      • “School shootings with multiple victims is a good example where the cops should just be the executioner. ” They already do that if you are brown.

        • If you are brown, white, black, orange, polka dot or even rainbow striped, you should be executed for committing a school shooting where there is multiple victims. It doesn’t matter about your race. All that matters is the damage you did to others. When you victimize another person, you have committed a crime. That’s the principle of common law and in the case of school shootings with multiple victims the police should act as your judge, jury and executioner….There is no need for a trial and I don’t care about WHY you did it.

    If one Democratic lawmaker is correct that he and his colleagues had hauled Mueller in for selfish reasons and tarnished his name by exposing his deficiencies, then shame on them. Robert Mueller is an American war hero, who has given 50 years of service to our country. He deserves better than this!

    • Bob shut the hell up already. Cummings and the dems with daca opened the floodgates to create this mess. Then they refuse to give trump the funds to secure the boarder. When Obama was deporting thousands of illegals and separating families no dems said shit. Trump is spot on, Baltimore is a shithole, police have left in droves and the criminals have gotten their “room to distroy”. You will not support our president no matter what he does and you refuse to call out Obama for the same stuff. You are pathetic and a communist.

    • Bob I realize you try to come off as the all omniscient authority and final word on everything but would you like to live in Cummings district ? Why don’t you and your family move down there and why don’t you, the man with all the answers, straighten it out. I’m sure that your liberal ideas will quickly fix all the problems

    • Just another example of Democratic persecution of Trump for him telling the truth. Cummings is an indictment for both term limits and birth control. I live in Baltimore and YES Baltimore is literally infested with rats and rodents along with bed bugs and roaches. Baltimore is exactly what Trump says it is. Corruption in Baltimore is evident or have we all forgotten about the last two Democratic African American females who had to resign from office due to scandals. Bob, you can say what you want, but I live here in the demilitarized zone of Baltimore and I’m telling you Trump is preaching some serious truth in his comments about Baltimore. It is a shame I had to move myself into Baltimore to live with my family or else be forever persecuted by the treason of the Harford County Circuit Court and the HCSO, but I would rather live as a pauper in a demilitarized zone than be part of the treason of Harford County. I never experienced bed bugs until I moved into this dump of a city, but at least I’m free and that is something that none of you in Harford County can say. The Harford County Judicial Department, in all of its aliases, is nothing but a corporate treason machine and their isn’t a Judge or a Prosecutor in Harford County that isn’t a traitor against the United States.

        • Nope. There isn’t any place in Maryland that is free, except for Baltimore. Where else can you raise chickens in your 20ft. backyard, cop a trick from a $2 hoe coming out of a church, buy guns from your local police or just smoke a joint walking down the street. Besides, by the look of the junkies around here, we must have the largest supply of fentanyl on the East Coast. These are all sure fire signs of freedom and a booming economy, RIGHT? Screw you Bob. Come to Baltimore and be free with the rest of us degenerates. At least you’ll be free….However, if you don’t know what your talking about, well, let’s just say you shouldn’t criticize a man for telling the truth.

    • “Just a few rats”. No wonder the Baltimore Sun paper has lost all credibility and is considered the premier liberal rag that it is. Do the editors and reporters not leave the safety of their offices or homes. Baltimore is one of the highest murder per capita cities in our country. It is a sewer. Take a look at the once beautiful areas such Pimlico, Highland Town, Pig Town and the list goes on. Once beautiful homes and now look at them. Many know what happened and who were responsible but it is not politically correct to hold those responsible. During the Freddie Gray riots Rep. Cummings all but commended the demonstrators (hoods) for their protesting which practically destroyed the city and cost it millions. Then they have conduct DOJ investigations and who did they interview? In many cases drug dealers and criminals. Sure they claim harassment because the police are interfering with their operation. One of the main reasons the city is a sewer is because if the violators are people of color, which sadly is in a disproportionate numbers, it is racial to address the issues. People are dying, corruption is rampant in the police and correctional departments and it is ignored. Who is benefiting from this crap. Then you have Victor Blackwell, a commentator, a celebrity. He knows first hand what goes on in Baltimore. Does he address it? Does he say anything. No he tears up like a little bitch all the while understanding but ignoring the real issues and not identifying the offenders.Trump had the balls to call a diamond a diamond. I was going to use the other card term usually stated but I know there are a lot of race baiters out waiting to pounce on what would otherwise be a routinely used benign phrase. President Trump is by no means perfect but he has no problem in calling like it is. Maybe if some of leaders in Baltimore would step up to the plate and demand compliance with the laws and rules of a civilized peaceful society the city would be a far better and safer place. Furthermore, I am trying to convince poster “Bob”, the man with all the answers, to move to the city and make everything better?

  26. I have NO RESPECT for a man like Victor Blackwell who denies the truth and tears up for Trump speaking negatively about his hometown of the trash heap known as Baltimore. I live here and I’m white. Baltimore is a living cesspool of roaches, bed bugs, rats and rodents, just like Trump says. If Victor Blackwell tears up because the truth is being spoken then maybe CNN should come on down to Baltimore and show the world ALL the great places in Baltimore where the common man lives. Show all the homeless people, the drug dens, block after block of empty homes and burnout buildings, chicken coops being erected in backyards in total violation of zoning laws, the filth of needles laying in the playgrounds and the literal horde of walking dead addicted to fentanyl and opioids. This is the REAL Baltimore and I have seen it with my own two eyes. Victor Blackwell can go straight to hell and if he doesn’t like what I’m saying he can come and look at the truth himself. It’s not like Cummings and Blackwell don’t know the truth. They are embarrassed that Trump is brutally honest and tells the truth about the shithole they claim is so great. Just more lies from a Democratic traitor against the United States spreading false propaganda on the Clinton News Network. He can literally kiss my ass….

    • Hey SoulCrusher,
      What exactly is the deal with the “chicken coops”? My first thought when I read your post, is this for real or is SoulCrusher just going off the deep end? Then for the hell of it I googled “chicken coops + Baltimore” and look what came up:

      “In Baltimore City, residents who obtain a proper permit from animal control can own up to four chickens that are more than one month old, as long as they are housed in a movable pen with at least 2 square feet per chicken, and the pen or coop is located 25 feet from a residence”

      https://baltidome.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/chicken-keeping-in-baltimore-city/

      Is this really an issue? If so, t join with you in your concern. I’m in favor of banning chicken coops in Baltimore City.

      • Believe it or not, the Latino’s are putting them up all over the place and there is a lot more than 4 chickens in those coops. Furthermore, I used to live in an area where those annoying roosters would wake you up every morning and now I’m having to live it again like deja vu. It really pisses me off. Besides, there is health issues as well, especially with the eggs they try to give away or sell. The chicken coops and the parking situation is the only thing that the Latino’s do that piss me off. Other than that, they are good people. A 20ft. backyard in a Baltimore City row home is NOT appropriate to be housing chickens. Period. End of discussion and this has been going on for like 2 years now.

  27. Mueller proved that there is substantial evidence of misconduct……but its not in the 4 corners of the Mueller report and the judiciary committee is going to find it during recess. << Jerald Nadler

The evidence is overwhelming that a conspiracy between Obama era appointees and the DNC to thwart the duly elected President and did plan an apparent coo against him. The evidence is overwhelming that high ranking Obama era appointees and the Democratic Party have committed treason against the United States all because Hillary lost. The Mueller report is a sham and the investigators are a bunch of treasonous scumbags. Execute every last one of them….

          • Comey leaked confidential & classified information, interfered in the 2016 election, exonerated HRC, spied on a President elect, spied on a sitting President’s administration, coordinated witch hunt efforts and still leaks confidential & classified information to this day. Brennan has and is still leaking confidential & classified information while giving false information on national news agencies and forwarded the Steel Dossier at the Obama Administration’s request. They are both traitors whom were and are working for the DNC and the former Obama Administration to this day. Just to be very clear, I’m almost at the point where I would say Barrack Obama has committed treason as well and I liked Obama when he was in office. Quite frankly, if it wasn’t for the current policy of not indicting former Presidents and forgiving them for their crimes, I’d have Obama indicted as well. You Democratic traitors need to stop with the treason. Under Article 3 Section 3, you can still be executed for treason and Article 3 Section 3 is the Supreme Law of the Land, not your Democratic Party’s Code of Rules and Regulations that you think is the law.

          • The only “spying” that went on is the CIA and NSA had wiretaps on Russian agents and they caught trump officials calling them on unofficial channels. And you do realize IG Horowitz had to put off his findings because after interviewing Steele he fund the claims of the Dossier very credible. You need to venture out from your conspiracy theory web sites.

            2+

          • No Party controls the Judicial Branch you idiot. Apparently you have forgotten the wiretaps on Carter Paige. Apparently you forgot that Comey already admitted to staging illegal interviews with the Trump Administration without authorization and that the FBI got away with it because Trump’s Administration was unfamiliar with the policies of the treasonous government he inherited. Anyone who claims the Steel Dossier is or was credible is a complete liar and even a complete Democratic traitor like you should know this. You need to venture out from under your political umbrella and realize that YOUR Party is the very definition of treason and that you are a traitor against the United States. The bottom line is Obama asked his appointees to commit treason against Trump and his new administration because Hillary lost. There was a lot more people involved and I believe that traitor Rod Rosenstein was involved as well. That’s it. Bottom line. When you wage war against the United States, our Constitution or WE THE PEOPLE whom are the United States, you have become a traitor. Everything we have seen is indicative of the overthrow of the Constitutional Republic by the Democratic Party and its unconstitutional practices of foregoing the Constitution in favor of the Code they have illegally instilled. That which is unconstitutional is illegal because the Constitution is the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND. Get it thru your thick skull traitor and admit that you are nothing but a traitor.

          • @Bob – I don’t partake in elections and I am not registered to vote. As soon as you register you have given consent to the treason of the elected representatives. You see those whom are elected are not our leaders. They are our representatives, yet they make law as if they are leaders while ignoring the fact that they are supposed to represent us. Not lead us. I can’t recall any representatives asking their constituents if they liked or approved of the laws they created eroding our rights and I can’t give any legislature my consent because I do not believe in them. I do not give consent to that which I don’t believe in and I believe the legislatures are all treasonous in full. They have broken the covenants in full and have forfeit all power and authority they claim the government has over us. There isn’t one member of Congress or the State Legislature that is honorable and if they are affiliated with the Democrat Party they are traitors. Why would I give my consent to a bunch of stinking traitors?

As I said lets stick to what we actually know happened. The President is guilty of campaign finance violations and obstructed justice all to get elected. So keep prattling on about some imaginary crimes in an attempt to deflect reality it’s funny in a sick sort of way.

          • There was no obstruction of justice because justice was never sought. The last time I checked the only person convicted of campaign violations was Michael Cohen and quite frankly I believe that the charge is a fabrication and that Cohen is really serving time for the tax evasion he admitted to. You’re just a Democratic idiot who endorses treason and claims it is the rule of law. There is no rule of law if that rule is brought about by treason and the law breaking the law to enforce the law. Lastly, WE THE PEOPLE are NOT ruled by anything and that includes the fictional rule of law you Democratic idiots keep referring to. The rule of law is really the rule of treason as WE THE PEOPLE have 11th Amendment immunity to all trespasses by the treason of the government you worship. By the way, your girl Hillary has broken more laws than any other politician and has always gotten away with it. Why do you Democrats believe you can persecute your political enemies but look the other way when Democrats do it? I think it’s because your a stinkhole traitor.

Trump was going to use the election for personal gain because he thought he was going to lose the Republican nomination. When he won it, he called off any and all business adventures, which was the proper thing to do. He then miraculously beat that Democratic witch for the Presidency and the rest is history. Get over it. Hillary lost and no action by our former President and current traitor, Obama, can get him thrown out of office. Your inference between Trump and the central park 5 is uncalled for, but what can you expect from a Democratic traitor against the United States, like yourself….

I contacted a pest control company and they recommend Impeachment, 25th Amendment or Resignation as the solution.

    • Wrong, the source of the infestation is Baltimore itself. The unclean streets and the disgusting people whom have lived and bred in their own feces for years is the source. Baltimore has no one to blame for the infestation other than the residents themselves whom don’t practice hygienic manners in regards to the environment and the streets of the city. Baltimore is a cesspool and that is the bottom line….

    • You need to ingle out the property management company and not Kushner. It just so happens that the State is in bed with the property management companies and have been persecuting private landlords while letting the property management companies get away with everything. Furthermore, if you are going to persecute Kushner, you must persecute every other owner of slums in Baltimore and that includes the Black owners as well. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Inappropriate and disproportional enforcement of law on particular persons is not allowed in this State as it is sanguinary. Same argument can be applied to most of the Democratic statutes of treason. Read the State Constitution and you will see that most of the statutes passed by the traitors you elected into office is illegal, unconstitutional and an act of war against the people they are supposed to represent.

        • No. He hired a property management company and it is the responsibility of the property management company to make sure everything is up to par involving the standards of this disgraceful and treasonous State.

The reality is many rich members of society own properties they’ve never even seen, but make money off the properties each and every month. That’s what happens when you own an investment property that is maintained by a property management company. The property management company is responsible for the rodents in the properties you elude to and if the property management company goes under, then it might be Kushner’s responsibility, after the fact.

MSNBC has aired repeated programs about white hate groups as if they are a real threat. Would I like to see these groups totally go away. Yes but the impact on the safety of Americans is minimal . I am not talking about lone wolf crazies which are unfortunately hard to detect. MSNBC rarely addresses black gangs such as the Bloods and the Crips and other black gangs operating in our cities, including Baltimore, killing thousands every year. Let people keep dying. Don’t address those urban problems because they can not be associated with President Trump. Meet the Press moderator and NBC lackey Chuck Todd was almost elated after a horrible hurricane struck Puerto Rico. Why because he could be critical of the way the President handled the aftermath. Todd on his program posted a weather map showing two more hurricanes heading for Puerto Rico. He thought he could get another shot at the President. It did matter that many more people could possibly die as long as he got another shot st the President. Who knows that might have been the last time the man got an erection. Liberals and Democrats have proven what a pathetic lot they really are all the while helping the President to get re-elected.They will have no one to blame but themselves.

US steel isn’t opening any new facilityies and he fed is about to lower interest rates.

Liberal media pushes to cause a racial divide to accomplish their objectives. They continually Air very exaggerated propaganda about rampant racism by white conservatives. Again other than “lone wolf crazies” show me how many deaths have been attributed to white hate groups in the last 50 years. MSNBC paints a picture that the KKK and other white groups are on every street corner and under every rock waiting to victimize people of color. 99.9 percent of all Americans have never seen organized hate groups or know where they are located. Liberals ignore the actions of groups the likes of Antifa but instead attempt to scare people about white hate groups. Why don’t you research the KKK as it exists today and give a fair assessment of their numbers and activities. A loosely affiliated unorganized group of rednecks that I would like to see disappear from the earth. An organized threat? No, but not according to liberal media. The Bloods and the Crips killed and hurt more people over the weekend than white hate groups have in the last 50 years. Your hatred for our President is so great that you and your liberal friends are willing to disregard any and all misfortune and harm to our citizens, our country, and our world as long as it can be attached to our current President.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/455342-democrats-introduce-constitutional-amendment-to-overturn-citizens-united

    Unfortunately, this proposed constitutional amendment doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of ever passing. If I could wave a magic wand and overturn a Supreme Court decision, “Citizens United” would be near the top of my wish list.

    Getting the money out of politics would definitely be a step in the right direction to fixing our politics.

    0

    • Sounds more like you’re advocating the abrogation of the 1st Amendment to me. The Citizen’s United decision was reached on the grounds of preserving the 1st Amendment and allowing the countering of another party’s political movie making by Michael Moore. The Democratic amendment that would overturn Citizen’s United would in effect limit or erode the 1st Amendment rights of those whom choose to fight the Democratic Party and it’s complete and utter WAR against the United States Constitution. Quite frankly, this amendment is an act of treason and any amendment that is allowed to abrogate the rights guaranteed by the amendments that came before it is null and void as that which comes before is superior.

      1+

      • Of course, I’m not espousing the repeal of the 1st Amendment. ‘Citizens United’ conflated “individual” and “corporate” rights. Trying to turn corporations into ‘persons’ doesn’t work for me. All this did was to open the door wider, allowing more and more corrupting money into our politics. And now, 10 years later, we are forced to live with the unfortunate consequences of that decision. The ‘Citizens United’ ruling has made the money problem in our politics so much WORSE.

        • Yeah, you didn’t have that to say when Hillary was running for President and had all that money pumping into her campaign. Did you? What’s worse is that she had already gained all of the “Super Delegates” before the Democratic Primary even started and had basically bought the Democratic Party’s nomination from the start. Now, if you want to complain about money being funneled into our election, why don’t you take a good look at how much money Obama took in during his campaign of 2008? $386,564,288 is the total and it largely came from corporate donations. Once again, it’s OK for the Democratic Party to do something, but a crime when a non Democrat does it. Read it for yourself…..https://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.php?cid=n00009638

            “The Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission helped unleash unprecedented amounts of outside spending in the 2010 and 2012 election cycles. The case, along with other legal developments, spawned the creation of super PACs, which can accept unlimited contributions from corporate and union treasuries, as well as from individuals; these groups spent more than $800 million in the 2012 election cycle. It also triggered a boom in political activity by tax-exempt “dark money” organizations that don’t have to disclose their donors. You can listen to the decision (see “Opinion Announcement – January 21, 2010″) as read by Justice Kennedy and the dissenting opinion read by Justice Stevens. Read on to learn more about how the Supreme Court transformed the campaign finance landscape with this decision, and how it is now affecting U.S. politics.”

          • and who has used the Super PACS and their “dark money” the most? Clearly, in the last election cycle the HRC Campaign had $1,785,190 from PAC contributions and the Donald had only $144,764. It’s all there in the data I posted above and you would see it if you looked at it instead of only finding information that helps your arguments…However, the PACs can use the money anyway they see fit and can at any time run commercials and such. Who gets that money? Oh yeah, the MEDIA Corporations and we all see how the MEDIA is in an all out effort to take out the Donald. Can you say “Fake News Media”?

    • I don’t want to come off as a hypocrite but I just had to respond to the post regarding the issue of reparations. Several days ago I stated y would not post on this thread but regretfully I feel compelled to do so. Ok Bob maybe I took the bait or maybe you actually believe what you posted
      As you probably know from prior posts that I am a retired 34 white police veteran in my mid 60s. You may not be aware that my son in law is a very well educated successful black man. I have two beautiful mixed grandchildren that I love more than life.
      I entered in to a discussion with my son in law about the topic of reparations. We shared a great bit of common ground regarding it. I will possibly get in to those feelings later. Bob If reparation comes to fruition how do you think it should be implemented? When I was approximately ten years old I knew and was friends with a black man in his 90s who’s parents were in fact born into slavery. In all my life I never knew of anyone more closely associated with slavery. There are no slaves or slave owners alive today. Morally I certainly think it was wrong but I don’t believe I should be responsible for the actions of people I never knew.
      During my career I saw race based hiring of unqualified and undeserving people. The same thing applied to race based promotions. I saw adverse backgrounds being ignored to facilitate race based hiring. I’ve seen the polygraph system violated to facilitate race based hiring. I’ve seen criminal behavior ignored and unaddressed in the name of political correctness. In the private and public sector I have seen quota systems for hiring, receiving of contracts, and unqualified ineligible people obtaining management positions based on race. I’ve seen affirmative action etc. Are these all failed attempts at reparations? My son in law, a good and decent person, said when he watches the news he is embarrassed to be black. He does the right thing and is as good or better than anyone. He does not expect special treatment. He has earned his standing. He said “I hate to admit it but even to consider reparations for black people will be a tough sell with so many behaving badly on the news and in life in general” . In closing maybe I don’t understand. To me attempts at reparations have been going on for a while.

        You have to understand I do not post to aggravate, annoy or bait people. My goal is to share my feelings and opinions and at the same time be open to other POVs

        I don’t pretend to know the answer on ‘how’ reparations should be implemented. However, I do believe the playing field is not level and equal. We can and must do ‘something’ to give a young black/brown children, especially those living in a racial ghetto, the chance to realize their full promise as a human beings and an Americans. If we do nothing it’s only going to get worse. Just because we failed in the past it doesn’t mean we can’t succeed in the future–if not, our better days are behind us.

        Your son-in-law has absolutely no reason to be embarrassed. I am so sorry to hear that he feels that way. The problem is not with people of color. The problem is with our country. To say that was ‘then’ and this is ‘now’, and therefore we don’t have to make reparations for the sin of slavery would be a tragic mistake.

        I hope you and I can continue to share our thoughts on this and other subjects. Thank you!

        • It’s not about giving one race advantages. It’s about everyone being equal. Reparations would be abused by those handing out the money and it is not necessary because the last time I checked we haven’t had slavery since 1865. If they wanted to do reparations they should’ve did back then, not now. Every black, brown and foreigner is supposed to receive some sort of benefit from their racial origin, but the white male is supposed to just bow down to the reverse racism of your politics. I have no problem with being treated equally to another race, but what is happening is white people are being discriminated against. I’m tired of this incredibly stupid issue. YOU ARE NOT A SLAVE AND YOUR LIFE HASN”T BEEN INFLUENCED BY SLAVERY. Period. End of discussion. I don’t see a United Caucasian College Fund, but I do see a United NEGRO College Fund. I don’t see Caucasian groups giving interest free loans to whites, but we do see Muslim groups giving interest free loans to Muslims. I don’t see special allowances being made to Christians, but we do see special prayer rooms being made in schools for other religions. The list goes on and on. Foreign immigrants are supposed to assimilate to the American way, not the other way around. It’s all about equality and NOT special privilege being given to those whom feel entitled. You should be more concerned with your government waging war against the people it is supposed to serve and the government’s constant erosion of freedom on behalf of the corporate Democracy.

Once the 13th Amendment went into effect those people were no longer property and the former owner’s were given payment for the loss of free labor they relied on. However, if they wanted to repay the former slaves for the slavery they suffered they should have paid them then as those were the ones who did suffer.

        • I feel that there have been countless attempts at leveling the playing field and as I look at it reparation attempts. Billions and billions of dollars have been pushed in to neighborhoods of people of color, particularly black people, for many years. Public housing is being erected every day. The problem is in 5 years the occupants turn it in to a crime invested sewer. There is no excuse even the most impoverished should and could show their appreciation by taking care of their homes. They don’t! If you had given my parents or grandparents public housing I could guarantee you that thirty years later the property would be cleaner than when they moved in. Money has nothing to do with personal pride and obligation or for that matter apathy.

          I am sure that I will get backlash but a large portion of the black community needs to change their behaviors and lifestyleS to make a successful pitch for reparations. I have a black son in law and wonderful black neighbors. We all have no problem interacting and being friends. Why? Because we behave properly and extend each other respect. What many black people fail to recognize is that modern day bias is generated by their perception. Good people of any color blend and coexist without notice. Unfortunately the black gangster hood rat image is all to prevalent in today’s media and society. A change of the image of a large portion of the black community would greatly reduce modern day bias against blacks. Sure you still have some people that are just mean spirited and will never change.

          A prime example of a group with significant success in reducing bias is the gay community. Some would argue apples and oranges but the principles are similar. As recent as the 70s and 80s there was tremendous bias directed at gay people. In the early 70s, one of the all time greats Elton John, gambled his tremendous success, rolled the dice, and significantly suspended his career for “coming out”. The country just wasn’t ready. What did the gay community do? They kept moving. They acted responsibly and obeyed the laws. They weren’t on the news every night or in the community acting antisocial or threatening. Little by little, more and more, their lives got better. Is there still room for improvement sure. One of the gay communities biggest success tools was they did not give the appearance of threat. For what ever reason the black community doesn’t get it. If they truly want to eliminate bias they need to contribute far more. They need to reel in that large segment of their membership which is currently generating large amounts of fear, bias, and distrust. Remember a very simple life lesson….The lord helps those who help themselves

  44. Maybe, part the problem is the very word- REPARATIONS. The rub is that term is all about paying out ‘money’. The first time I heard the word was when I studied about World War I in grammar school. Ironically, the reparations Germany had to pay was one of the causes of World War II.

    How about we go with the word – EQUALIZATION. Don’t get me wrong ‘equalization’ would not be free. There is no free lunch. I don’t believe in just arbitrarily taking from ‘Peter’ to pay ‘Paul’, cause it just makes ‘Peter’ angry. This entire process must be done in a very careful manner. If so, I believe the short term pain will be offset by long-term gain. America is a good country. We just need to realize the process of reconciling the terrible legacy of slavery will take many more years. We must continue to work at it.

    I’m sure the people detained were not rapists and murderers. They were ‘working’ at jobs most American citizens probably don’t want and wouldn’t take. I suspect these food processing companies didn’t verify or even ask for a green card before hiring them.

    I hate the government term – ‘Undocumented Aliens’ It is so dehumanizing. Today Fox News showed a young girl, the daughter one of those detained, saying her father ‘didn’t do anything wrong’. The Fox news person asked his guest what he would say to the girl. His response – ‘It’s your father’s fault’.

    Sadly, this little girl, separated from father, doesn’t feel safer. Do you?

      Employers in Mississippi have been required to use E-Verify since 2008. Besides civils penalties Mississippi state law says those who hire unauthorized immigrants can be charged with a felony and can face between one and five years in prison and fines of $1,000 to $10,000 for each charge.

      I’m sure the first excuse that these five meat processing companies come up will be — it’s not our fault cause another employment agency company does our hiring. As long American companies continue to hire undocumented workers the Immigration issues remain for country.

      The answer is ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform’, not some long tall wall. The bad news is that our political leaders are content to blame each other while blindly continuing to kick the can down the road. Shame on us!

    • A reminder to the public. The Media across the nation is owned by the Democratic Party and is spreading the dumbest propaganda in the history of this nation. It can be said that Obama’s Presidency did bring out racism that we long thought retired, but the things he did toward the end of his Presidency and the effects his actions caused to the current Presidency is downright treasonous. They say if you support Trump then you are a racist, a white supremacist, a child imprisoner and a gun nut. They even say he is responsible for the recent mass shootings and that his rhetoric directly causes people to walk into a Walmart and randomly gun down shoppers. They are ignorant people whom have no regard for the truth and actually believe that if they keep repeating the same lie, the American people will eventually believe it. That trick doesn’t work anymore. The Media looks downright desperate to strike a US President down on behalf of the Democratic Party and the vicious followers whom actually believe the corn ball ideas coming out of its mouths. The truth is their is no Democratic agenda that does not coincide with causing harm to the United States. The Democratic Party basically is trying to convert our country into a slave state of people dependent upon the government for survival. They offer dreams and promises that can never be fulfilled and the literal horde of idiots that believe in them give them power. This is pathetic. If anyone actually believes the Democratic Party can stop global warming, give you free college, universal income and a single payer health care system for all when they can’t even coexist with one another without calling each other racists, then that same someone is an idiot. Don’t be an idiot. Use your own mind and reasoning to come to the clear understanding that which seems too good to be true is usually too good to be true. They will never deliver and all the proof you will ever need is that to this day Marijuana is still illegal, Bottom line. End of discussion….

Everything said is factual and we have all just witnessed the facts because everything I quoted has just been viewed on National Television by most Americans across this Country. You are an idiot as well. A very ignorant idiot who just tried to call out my previous comments as having “zero facts and lots of name calling”. What reality do you live in? Did you hear the words coming out of all your candidate’s mouths differently than I? Do you have a hearing problem? Are you dyslexic? Or are you just another Democratic traitor trying to suppress the all to real truth that your party is the party of hatred and treason? When I call you and your legion of fuktards “idiots” is that any different than your political hopefuls calling everyone racists, white supremacists, child imprisoners, gun nuts and advocates of murder? I think you need to reread and figure out what was said while keeping your Democratic panties from bunching up in you butt crack.

          • As stated before sadly the Liberals and Democrats have tried everything to malign and discredit President Trump and get nowhere. The race card is their last weapon. MSNBC tried repeatedly to air so called documentaries on white nationalism and white racism. Where do they go? Some rural backwoods location with a couple of loser rednecks. Are there some out there? A few disorganized knuckleheads. Again outside of the lone wolf crazies show me where they have harmed, not annoyed, anyone in the last 50 years. As previously posted more people were killed by black gang members in Chicago last night than white nationalists in 50 years. I guess those black lives don’t really matter because those incidents are rarely, if ever, discussed by the liberal media. Let them keep killing each other and ignore it but try to find some isolated pocket of rednecks and try to manifest it in to a national threat. Are there some white racist out there? Yes the Liberals and Democrats try to bill it as an irreconcilable problem that only the removal of President Trump can remedy.

Article 3 Section 3 does not proclaim any limitation to whom Article 3 Section 3 applies to. That’s because it applies to ALL citizens whom wish to wage war against us and that includes a large group of DemoSocioNazio idiots who claim the Constitutional Republic has been overthrown by their legislative processes and that we now live in a Democracy. Your democracy only consists of democratic elections and is constrained by the Constitution. That’s just the way it is until the Constitution is repealed and shelved for whatever New World Odor doctrine that the Democratic traitors instill in its place. You can all wish for the end of freedom all you want, but I’m not going to be part of that. Just for the record, my fellow Americans whom happen to be Democrats are not Americans at all. They are traitors whom have forsaken our Country for the treason of the corporation and I will have no part of that as well. They gave up their right to be a United States citizen when they became an enemy of WE THE PEOPLE whom are the United States.

      In the above article David Frum (former speechwriter for George W. Bush), a staff writer at The Atlantic writes the following about our President:

      “—within his administration, within Congress, within the United States, and around the world—that the 45th president is a reckless buffoon; a conspiratorial, racist moron, whose weird comments should be disregarded by sensible people.”

      “Neither the practical impediments to impeachment and the Twenty-Fifth Amendment process, nor the foibles and failings of the candidates running to replace him, efface the fact that this presidency shames and disgraces the office every minute of every hour of every day. And even when it ends, however it ends, the shame will stain it still.”

    What does this say about where our country finds itself? I’m not sure whether I want to scream or cry. So, instead of coming up with gun control legislation that actually makes our children safer, let’s just give them a bulletproof back pack. I guess the next step will be to arm our children.

    • Yeah, we should ban the banned guns again, that’ll make us safer.

      For what it’s worth, I doubt that backpack is tested through any labs that normally test body armor and approve them for their rating/use/whatever.

      Feel free to prove me wrong, but Im going to take a wild assed guess you’ll find “Independent tests” in there and while it may actually work as “bullet proof” to some degree, but don’t count it being anything other than a way for someone to use social and capitalism gimmicks to make money.

      As always, have nice day!

      • You are correct. Probably, most of these backpacks are not “bulletproof”, especially when it comes to the high-powered assault rifles.

        I would like to see the 1994 Assault Weapon ban reinstated. Checkout the below NPR link. It gives a short history of original ban and its 10 year ‘sunset provision”. It’s an interesting read.

          The fact is, the firearms (of all kinds) are in this country and they are never going away, regardless if they are your grandpa’s double barrel shotgun or an “evil assault rifle.”

          • There are over 393 million firearms in our country. That’s a firearm plus for each and every person. I’m not overly concerned about the majority of these weapons, especially grandpa’s double barrel shot gun.

            My overriding concern is the assault style weapons. Try as we may, I realize we can’t prevent ‘every’ mass shooting but we can make it harder for the crazies to get their hands on these type of weapons. There is no absolute safe, but we can and must be safer. Our country’s future is at stake.

            0

        • Well Bob, that’s because those guns are NOT Assault Weapons and were NOT considered Assault Weapons until the Democratic Party, in the disguise of a lawful government, redefined what an Assault Weapon is. You guys need to just start saying “we need to ban high caliber rifles with large capacity magazines” and maybe the American public wouldn’t think you’re a bunch of morons. What we need to ban is the Democratic Party because it has become so Anti-American in its idealism that anyone with common sense only sees treason in their ideas. Where did the Democratic Party of sensible and reasonable idealism go? It just doesn’t exist anymore and if Americans keep letting the Democratic Party educate their kids in the schools, eventually all freedom will be extinguished and there will be no more United States. It really pains me to see the Democratic Party wanting to turn this Country in the new U.S.S.R. or some other Republic of tyranny. You can’t fight a tyranny without weapons and Bob why don’t you take a look at Article 6 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights to see what I’m talking about?

          0

          • SoulCrusher, I thinks perhaps we are getting lost in the weeds. hung up on what we define as an assault weapon. I don’t care what you call it AK12. AK15. AK 47, automatic, semi-automatic, high capacity magazine, high caliber. Bottom line – I am in favor of banning any weapon that is capable of discharging ‘lots’ of bullets in a ‘short’ period of time. What we call the weapon is almost inconsequential. What is of paramount importance is the weapon’s capability to wound/kill easily and quickly.

            It’s not ‘tyranny’ that I am worried about. It’s the alienated and isolated crazies full of anger and hate that are of much more concern for our country.

            Below is Article 6 of the Declaration of Rights:

            Art. 6. That all persons invested with the Legislative or Executive powers of Government are the Trustees of the Public, and, as such, accountable for their conduct: Wherefore, whenever the ends of Government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the People may, and of right ought, to reform the old, or establish a new Government; the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

            Looking at I don’t believe “all other forms of redress are ineffectual”. Do you?

            0

          • “The doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind” – That is the part you don’t understand and the only way to prevent tyranny is to be properly armed with weapons equal to those whom wish to do you harm. If a cop can have an AR-15, then so should the people. How else do you prevent a tyranny? You can’t prevent it at a voting booth….That’s the truth.

            0

    • I’m not real sure a lot of these shootings could be prevented. There is already background checks and these guns are getting sold right off the shelves, legally. Funny, if I were going to try and commit a heinous crime, I would be getting weapons that couldn’t be tied back to me. These people are deranged and want to kill and be killed. What can you do? You can’t take away guns for the fundamental purpose they were preserved for and that is to prevent a tyranny from a centralized government. I would rather have freedom than the myth of security any day of the week. You can’t stop people from killing other people and no amount of legislative nonsense will ever change that. Most of these nuts don’t care if they survive or whom they take out. Would you prefer the suicide vest? How about a machete massacre? I’ve got it, chlorine gas in the lunch auditorium. Look, my point is if there is a will there is a way. Taking away guns or using background checks will not prevent these nut farmers from carrying out their mission. They will figure out a way to do what they do. Would you really feel safe if the only people in this country that had guns were government employees? If you answer “yes” then you have an awful lot of confidence in a bunch of people that can’t get anything done except for bashing the bishop and flogging the meat puppet. I know I don’t have any confidence in them….

You are the one playing “their” game and that game is the destruction of American and the freedom it represents. Read Article 3 Section 3 and realize that you are a domestic enemy of America. You deserve the full penalty of Article 3 Section 3 laid down upon your sorry carcass that was set by the Second Continental Congress. We are in a war, right now. That war is over the minds of Americans, especially young Americans that are being taught your party’s politics in the public schools across this Country. The same politics are being taught in Colleges as well. The idea that everyone gives up all their rights to satisfy the concerns for safety by your party’s political scheme is an abomination of American idealism. The real question is what Godless evil will you and your treasonous party instill against Americans if you ever get full control again.

I also suspect most of your favorite MSNBC talking heads feel the same way. The economy is doing pretty good in spite of, not because of our President. Trump’s own worst enemy is ‘himself’. He inherited a strong economy and he is doing everything possible to tear it down, just to spite his predecessor. I guess Trump never learned it’s not smart to cut off your nose to spite your face.

          You’re right about one thing though. My wife, son, and grandchildren are the most important things in my life. And it is, for that very reason, why I’m so concerned about our President. In the words of Tom Steyer, “Trump is a fraud and a failure”

          My confidence is growing daily that by Nov 2020 America will come together and ‘resoundingly’ vote him out of office. We can then wakeup from our national nightmare and once again start moving our country forward.

          • Man, you are one brainwashed Democrat. O’Bama did inherit one of the worst economical situations possible. He did some things like bailouts that I did not agree with, but it may have worked. Fast forward eight years and the we have Trump who did inherit a debt that was manufactured by both the Bush and O’Bama Administrations that totaled about $19.947 trillion. Let’s just call it $20 trillion for shits and giggles and we now see the debt was increased by about $9.3 trillion by O’Bama while Bush manufactured about $10.626 trillion in debt. Friendly reminder to both R’s & D’s that Clinton left office with practically a clean slate as far as National Debt is concerned. Back to Trump. He is on pace to probably equal or surpass O’Bama’s debt if he gets 8 years, but I still like what he’s doing for the most part. Look, Bush let his family’s personal war with Saddam Hussein take precedence over the war on terror and left this country in a shambles financially due to general incompetence that any fool just looking at him knew was going to happen. O’Bama kept the country afloat, but sometimes you got to let a sinking ship go to the bottom. Those bailouts were just beacons to the money laundering corporations and some have never been paid back. Probably never will. At this point it could be said that the government owns those corporations and that’s just one step closer to the DemoSocioNazio dream you Democrats keep pushing for. I know you guys think it’s great for Lenin’s ideas, but you could find yourself left with a Stalin or Hitler situation by doing what you want to do. It only takes one nut to spark the next World War and your party seems to nurture nuts. I like the nut we have. If he disposes of the UN, the UN treaty law and drops the FED leaving those BIG banks in England holding the bag, I’ll call him KING. This is OUR COUNTRY and we need to start acting like it. No foreign power or entity controls WE THE PEOPLE and we need to force this issue while we can. You will not regain control of our country with a Democratic puppet calling the shots because the Democratic Party is out of its mind right now and will return this country to self destructive policies of giving everything away to those whom did nothing to deserve the American dream. If WE THE PEOPLE don’t get a fair shake then why is everyone in the world supposed to come here and live off of WE THE PEOPLE’s dime? If a Democrat wins in 2020, it will be the worse thing for this country and the REAL national nightmare will begin as a Democratic stooge will hand China our debit card again. That’s the facts as I see them….

It seems to me Trump has gained support and I’m just not buying it.

            @ Just the facts – As long as we have control of the gold in Fort Knox, we could actually dictate practically the entire world’s currency valuation. The question is, is it still there? Quite frankly, I’d prefer the gold standard anyway because right now your dollars are dictated by a consumable commodity. Gold is gold and he who holds the gold is supreme. Our currency should be based on something tangible and not on the oils of long dead bodies that basically get burned. Keep going the route you Dems want to take us and you may actually see that $1,000 loaf of bread. Just look at Venezuela and be careful what you wish for.

There has been no real peace between the two peoples since, well, ever. Are you crazy? Do you hear what you’re saying? There has been cease fires, but never any peace and you know this. There is no such thing as moving forward in Israel while Hamas is shooting rockets into Israel on Iran’s dime. Yes, I know you Democrats love Radical Muslim traitors against the United States like Omar and T’laib. You can defend them all you want but they are both probably in charge of a terrorist cell from whichever States they’re claiming they hail from and REAL Americans know that both of those two women are the enemies of WE THE PEOPLE.

        • Well Bob, it looks like they are going to allow T’laib entry into Israel after all on some humanitarian grounds of letting her visit her 90 year old grandmother. There is nothing wrong with that. However, if she goes there and starts some trouble during the visit don’t expect her to be allowed there again. They still aren’t allowing the Al Qaeda queen, Omar, entry into their country and I have no problem with that decision either. Why allow an enemy of your country entry just because they are an American Congresswoman?

    • Portland could’ve denied the protest permits due to potential conflict in dueling protests as those are legitimate reasons to deny a permit. This is of Portland’s creation and is Portland’s problem. To critique a stupid decision is not inciting violence. Instead of condemning the President, maybe you should condemn the mayor of Portland.

      0

      • I disagree. So far It looks like the city Portland and its mayor has done a pretty good job of keeping the far-left (like Antifa) and the far-right (like Proud Boys) separated and non=violent Where our President made a mistake was calling out Antifa and ignoring the far-right extremist.

        1+

        • Well, I think it may have been a good idea for the two groups to protest on different days. As a matter of fact, I believe it’s probably in the interest of public safety for NO groups to protest simultaneously when ANTIFA has a scheduled protest, regardless if they are far anything. We can disagree on that.

          0

        • By the way Bob, the only thing the city of Portland and their Mayor have done well is set up a stage for something bad to happen. Dueling protests in any environment where ANTIFA, sponsored by the DSA, is planned to be there is probably a bad idea. Let me remind everyone that ANTIFA protesters get paid by the DSA to protest and reap havoc where ever they go. They are not protesting fascism and actually are the fascists. Anyone who sees ANTIFA as a shining hope for the so called Democracy of the Democratic Party should look back to Pre World War II Germany and recall the Brown Shirt’s of that wonderful thousand year Reich that didn’t even last a decade. ANTIFA doesn’t consist of protesters and should be labeled the terrorist organization that it actually is.

          • I don’t know much about them, but I’m getting involved with any type of organization that follows any sort of racism. I stay away from any type of gang or hate organization. I already have enough hatred built up in my soul. However, I know who the REAL enemies are and they call themselves the government. That is who we should all be concerned about instead of letting political factions who run the government continually keeping us divided. United we stand, divided we fall and it doesn’t matter if they claim to be a R or a D, they specialize in divide and conquer campaigns and use it to control the population. The government is your real enemy and the quicker everyone figures it out the better. Just for the record, the government of PORTLAND is who allowed the crap going on in Portland and is just as guilty if any thing bad has happened during those dueling protests. As far as it goes, if ANTIFA is involved I wouldn’t be involved, but if I had to be there I’d make sure I did unto others before they were able to do unto me. That’s just the way it is….

  73. “Arkansas Woman Charged Over Holding Four Black Teenagers at Gunpoint”

    It’s this kind of garbage that gives the state of Arkansas a bad name. Assuming the facts as laid out are accurate it’s yet another commentary on the endemic racism in America. What this woman did was outrageous. If she truly felt threatened all she had to do was remain in her house and call 911.

    I’m sure the memory of this incident will remain with these 4 black high school students for many years, maybe their entire lives In America blacks and others of color are treated like second class citizens… like they are the enemy we should fear.

    • I am curious Bob. It is very apparent that you are not a President Trump fan. You have professed on prior post that you are always interested in entering in to a dialogue with people who have opposing points of view in order to possibly establish common ground. With that being said what do you think about the Hillary Clinton issue. She clearly obstructed justice by ignoring subpoenas, destroying requested evidence, providing fraudulent information to investigators etc. You seem to be a reasonably intelligent person. I think, and we both know, if she were elected President none of her highly suspect and what I consider criminal behavior, would have been addressed. She would have had the authority to appoint a partisan AG, DOJ Director etc. and everything would have “gone away” If even some of these allegations occurred this was an extreme travesty of justice. How can you or any Democrat rationalize, justify, or ignore these things? Let’s forget about President Trump and talk about this for a while. Just curious why the liberal media has not and will not discuss or even acknowledge these events.

        • Because the bureaucrats defend and cover up issues for each other. When are you going to realize that neither political party is acting without the other? Both sides of the aisle have flip flopped over and over on the issues that they stake their politics on and it is for the specific purpose of conning you out of your vote. HRC was never going to be “indicted”. Trump will never be “indicted” either. WTF is wrong with you idiots? The government is a bunch of greedy blood suckers that are stealing your money every pay check in an interest free loan you give them every pay period. How the hell do you think they line their treasonous coffers? R’s & D’s are creatures of the same origin and they use politics to screw you and the American people out of your money because that is all they care about. Get it thru your head! Neither side is lawful and both are treasonous. They are in violation of their oaths and in total breach of the Constitutional contracts. ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY of the government is forfeit because of the covenants have been broken in full. There is no taxation. There is no statute law. Everything they have done is forfeit by the actions of elected officials who betray you and your family every day. There is no honor among politicians and all politicians are thieves. What do we call someone who takes something from another person without consent or assumed consent? We call them thieves. End of the story. Furthermore, if you think you will receive a fair trial or that a court will operate in a lawful manner then you are an idiot. The courts are part of the treason and every Judge, Prosecutor, Police Officer and Lawyer is a complete traitor against the United States. That’s just the way it is.

      • I’m not ignoring what she did. I just don’t believe her actions, albeit extremely careless, rise to the level of criminal activity. I think the media, liberal and otherwise, have covered Clinton’s email scandal ad nauseam. Of course, if there is any real new information, indicating criminal behavior on her part, Trump’s DOJ Attorney General would open up a new investigation immediately. Until then we are stuck discussing the clear and present danger that Donald J. Trump poses for our country.

Only just extremely carelessness. Come on Bob I thought you had a better game than that. Even Mike Callahan’s buddy said on his program that her behavior was over the top. You and I both know what it would be called if either of us did the same thing. It would be called a crime. I used to have limited respect for your intellect but your liberal perception of events goes beyond the limits. I would strongly suggest you seek professional help for a very possible delusional disorder. If you go you may want to suggest that your blind hatred for the President might be a cause.

America can NOT be stronger while the Democratic Party is dividing us and waging war against us using the fictional statutory law you traitors make.

          • Bob, I’m sorry that you missed the boat in aspect to what “reality” really is. Corporations don’t care about people or “stakeholders” because their only concern is the “stockholder”. NO ONE has any “stake” in a corporation except for those who own shares of the corporation. Corporations are meant to generate revenue, not socially reform the public or even better the public. What you are doing is mistaking a “corporation” for a “collective”. There is a big difference between the two. If you believe any corporation wants to help Americans and improve our lives then you must actually believe Trump wants to nuke a hurricane to change the course of the storm because no corporation give a flying crap about you, me or any other person. They just don’t want to be subject to a lawsuit and that’s the only reason they give a shit about you or me. That’s the bottom line because the SoulCrusher says so….

A lot of satire and sarcasm comes out of Trump’s mouth and you can’t blame him after just watching one episode of the Morning Joe Treason Brigade sponsored by the Democratic cunt Mika. Look, the Democratic media is just plain stupid. They quote polls that consist of a couple hundred people and expect us ALL to believe the polling data as a national consensus. The only national consensus that exists is that most Americans now believe the Democratic Party is the party of morons, idiots, fools and traitors. You need to slow down and actually think about what you’re typing.

I think he purposely says things to incite the left and I think he enjoys controversy way too much. However, he is our President and I approve of the Donald. I think he’s done exactly what he was elected to do and I think he has tried to fulfill most of his campaign promises, even though some he fell short on. With the do nothing Congress that has been in place for decades, nobody could get much done and it’s the fault of both political aisles. I actually like Trump 100% more than I did when he got elected. He is the only figure in politics that I think has any concern about the people or our country.

He has directed aides to seize land and disregard environmental concerns to build the wall. Also, he told aides don’t worry about breaking the law because he would pardon them. He is such a funny guy.

          • Well, in my opinion, the border is a military issue and he can make it as “black” as he wants to. There is nothing wrong with utilizing the power of eminent domain to acquire land for securing the border as the power is used by the Federal and State governments all the time to address other concerns, so why not use it for border security? I’m not in favor of a wall, but I’m not in favor of a lot of things that our government has done, so oh well. I think he has gained support, just like Bill Maher says and I don’t think the next election is going to be as easy to win against him as you Democrats believe. The Democratic Party has become completely unhinged and I don’t see much in the Democratic idealism being correct right now. It is my opinion that the Democratic Party represents fraud, war and treason, just like the current government that has enslaved the people to the commercial codes of the UN, the HOLY SEE, the Nation of Palestine, foreign banks and the BAR Association.

      • No, you’re just a complete traitor that should be executed under Article 3 Section 3 provisions of treason. It would be my pleasure to hang you until you are dead. There is no authority ordained to the Federal or State government in ANY Constitution to regulate firearms and ALL laws pertaining to firearm regulation are unconstitutional. ALL Law Enforcement who enforce these laws of treason are acting as foreign entities using the fiction of the Commerce Clause to give the government an authority that simply does NOT exist. The militia act can NOT be used to do this because there is no invasion of State or Federal sovereignty and the general public has NOT been conscripted into the service of a militia. You can NOT profess a power or authority that has NOT been ordained by the people and everyone who believes or supports your idealism is either a brainwashed idiot or a complete traitor against the United States. The 2nd Amendment’s true purpose is to prevent tyranny and you can NOT prevent tyranny by being outgunned or NOT possessing an equal firepower to prevent that tyranny. We tolerate gun laws because there are some seriously sick people out there that believe they have the power to take the lives of innocents and perform acts of horrific brutality in order to support criminal behavior defined by common law. WE THE PEOPLE do NOT support the regulation of Constitutional rights on behalf of a centralized government designed to promote a tyranny of the centralized government. It is time to completely destroy the Democratic Party on the grounds of Article 3 Section 3 provisions of treason and it is time to outlaw any political party that seeks to steal the rights of all because of the actions of a few. You guys make me sick every time I here about banning certain guns because some idiot goes on a shooting spree. Let me remind your treasonous asses that there is 350 million people in this country and you scumbag traitors want to limit the rights of everyone because of the actions of probably on millionth of a percent of the population. It doesn’t work that way. Pass your laws and be executed for the treason you are committing against our Constitutions and our Country. Period. End of discussion because the SoulCrusher says so…..

          Feel free to prove me wrong. A lot of gun owners I’ve had conversation with are always very proud to announce they are “law abiding” so they will obey all future gun laws with excited enthusiasm.

If there is no Constitutional Authority ordained by the people then there is no Jurisdiction. Without Jurisdiction there is only fraud, war and treason. The people aren’t obeying the law, they are being conned out of their rights by the mafia that the Democratic Party has instilled into the government. The Codes, Rules and Regulations are that of government employees and can only be applied to WE THE PEOPLE if there is a VICTIM. You DO NOT take the rights of 350 million people because of a few bad actors. That’s just the way it is and if the people finally wake up they will fight back. There is no law unless WE THE PEOPLE say there is a law and you need to get that thru your thick skull because the age of your supposed Democracy is over. This is a Constitutional Republic and no amount of Democratic treason will ever change that fact.

I completely denounce the STATE OF MARYLAND and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA as both are treasonous corporations of an illegal government instilled by the United Nations, the BAR Association, THE HOLY SEE and the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is TREASON and that is all there is to it. I have to admit that I don’t think that mentally impaired people should be allowed to own guns, but I also know that there is NO AUTHORITY for the STATE OF MARYLAND or the Federal government to regulate guns. It simply is NOT in Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution, nor is there any authority to regulate firearms in the Maryland Constitution. Without a specific grant of authority by the people whom have ordained the government there is no jurisdiction over the subject matter and we know this from Marbury v. Madison (1803). The illegal and fake government that you ALL support is invalid and treasonous. That’s just the way it is and in my opinion every government employee is guilty of Article 3 Section 3 treason against the United States.

          • SoulCrusher, I disagree. The problem up until ‘now’ has been ‘all’ about the NRA and their stranglehold on our politicians. They have controlled our representatives far too long. Finally, the pendulum is starting to swing back.

            As far as our Constitution, let me draw your attention to the last paragraph of Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution:

            “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.”

            It seems to me that this section of our Constitution clearly allows for the making of ‘all laws’ (including gun control ones) deemed necessary by our government, department or Officer thereof.

          • @ Bob – I am totally aware of what the Constitution says and I think you’re missing the part where it says “necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers”. They can’t use any Clause of Commerce or that which is necessary and proper except for the execution of the powers listed in Article 1 Section 8. The government can not give itself a power or authority that was NOT ordained by the people. That includes regulation of firearms. There is no authority to regulate firearms in the US Constitution and it is expressly forbidden to regulate firearms, but the Feds can regulate a militia once that militia is called upon. Nor is there any authority granted to regulate firearms in the Maryland Constitution. You have to remember it is about authority that was granted to the government and there is no authority to control a subject that was not ordained.

            “[p]owers not granted (to any government) are prohibited.” United States v. Butler, 297 U.S 1, 68 (1936).

          • Again, gun control laws are both ‘necessary and proper’ and they should be enacted to promote and insure the ‘general welfare’ of the United States.

          • and once again Bob, there is no law unless WE THE PEOPLE say there is a law because WE THE PEOPLE are the body that authorized the government in the first place. ANY law created that does not conform to the limitations of the Constitution is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, NULL and VOID. Without authority there is no jurisdiction and without jurisdiction there is only fraud and treason.

Congress cannot, by legislation, enlarge the federal jurisdiction, nor can it be enlarged under the treaty making power” Mayor of New Orleans v. United States, 10 Pet. 662, 736

            0

          • Bob, gun regulation is Unconstitutional. You can claim the necessary and proper clause all you want, but the government can only use that which is necessary and proper to conduct the power and authority of that which was ordained to it. The government can not give itself that which was not ordained as the only authority the government has is that which was ordained. The general welfare of the United States has nothing to do with gun regulation as I have already told you that to strip the Constitutional rights of everyone because a few insane people have done something unspeakable with their rights. The purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to prevent a tyranny of a centralized government and you can not prevent a tyranny by being inadequately armed in the face of that tyranny. Your government is not your friend. I AM living proof that the government is a treasonous group of scumbags that have absolutely no honor or integrity in their entire being and exists to terrorize and destroy people who haven’t harmed a soul, in total violation of the common law of the United States Constitution. YOUR GOVERNMENT is an illegal, unconstitutional group of traitors who are acting as foreign agents in the United States to enforce the statutes of the traitors in Congress and the Maryland Legislature. They have no authority to regulate us in any way and everything they do to harm, destroy and murder the public is complete and utter treason against WE THE PEOPLE who pay their God damn salaries. Your government is SOOOO treasonous that they have given the Maryland Government Employees a general pension system in total violation of Article 3 : Legislature section 59, as a reward to those whom have served the State, including those whom are committing treason on a daily basis by enforcing the Unconstitutional Annotated Code on the general public. The government employees will draw their weapons and murder you for a crime they say is a crime, but is not a crime at all because the statute they are enforcing is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Government Employees are murderous racketeers whom steal from those whom have not broken the common law and hand what they have stolen over to people like you who have embraced their treason. I’m sorry Bob, but nothing you can say will ever make gun regulation Constitutional and the Democratic Party and all its members are nothing but traitors against the United States.

    • The last time I checked, the elections are still being held by Democratic standards in that the elected officials that represent the voters are determined by the popular vote. That is the extent of your Democracy and that is all that was ever promised by our fore fathers as far as your Democracy is concerned. The Presidency is the exception to that rule as it is decided by the outcome of the electoral college which is vital to the Republic as we can’t have the rule of the mob destroying our country, the way mobs destroy everything else. You are guaranteed the Democracy that we all have been promised by our fore fathers and nothing else. Just for the record, the law making process is supposed to be democratic as well, but the statutory laws that the Legislature makes is that of the government, not the people. The people are guaranteed “common law” and that guarantee has been trampled on by the Democracy you wish for because the statutory law is being enforced as the “law”, when it isn’t law at all. Unless you cause harm to another, you’re NOT a criminal no matter what the Legislature and all the traitors whom work for it say. This isn’t a Democracy. It’s a Constitutional Republic and that’s the bottom line because the Constitution says so…..

      • Point taken. However, I don’t believe it’s a case of either or — ‘constitutional republic’ or ‘democracy’. Our government, as currently configured, is really a hybrid version of the two. Call it what you want. I agree with Krugman — “If you aren’t worried about the future of American democracy, you aren’t paying attention”.

          • Without the Republic you wouldn’t get the Democratic elections that you refer to as your Democracy. Do you really think there was any Democracy under King George? Our fore fathers gave this unto you and you spit on it like it is something disgusting. What is truly disgusting is people advocating other people to give up their liberty in the name of your Democracy. So you can be safe, controlled and brain washed into government servitude. I don’t serve any damn government and the government is my enemy. Think otherwise and wait for the same Democratic traitors whom have done unto me, do unto you.

        • Our government isn’t a hybrid version of anything. Our government has become a corporate treason machine and you have some sort of weird assumption that you are part of that corporation. You are not part of the corporation. You are “chattel” for the corporation and they rely on you for a tax and other forms of revenue that they are illegally stealing from every American. The government has simply defecated on the Constitution and is completely illegal. All power and authority of both the Federal and State governments are forfeit due to the government becoming a complete instrument of treason. The government can not give itself power or authority where that power or authority was not ordained. It’s very simple. We are being ruled by a treasonous straw government instilled by foreign nations and religious hypocrites whose only authority is the gun and the bullet. We are being ruled by a corporate mafia and you need to wake up before we lose our country all together.

    “Whether or not his disorders are diagnosable, the president’s psychological flaws are all too apparent. They were alarming when he took the oath of office; they are worse now. Every day Donald Trump is president is a day of disgrace. And a day of danger.

    • Bob, those aren’t laws, they are statutes of a treasonous legislature that is run by the treasonous Democratic Party in this corrupt State. Statutes are not law, they are the “prima facia” evidence of law and if you break a statute that causes no harm to another, no law has been violated. Statutes are just rules and rules are meant to be broken. The Annotated Code is an instrument of treason against the US and Maryland Constitutions. The Code is SO unconstitutional that it can only be referred to as the Democratic Party’s system of legalized treason against the United States. Every member of that legislature is a traitor as they have all conspired against us and have made law they have no authority to make. I don’t give a damn about those rules and regulations and every government employee can go to hell. I claim no kinship to those scumbag traitors and believe our country would be better off without them.

      0

        • Bob, you are clueless. Since I got censored by the Dagger for putting the REAL law of the land this will have to do. “The common law is the real law, the Supreme Law of the land, the code, rules, regulations, policy and statutes are “not the law”. – Self v. Rhay, 61 Wn (2d) 261. That says it all…… Statutes are the Code, Rules and Regulations of government employees and in order for a crime to have occurred there must be someone who suffered harm. The State and it’s agents are NOT “someone” and they can NOT be the victim. The enforcement of Codes, Rules and Regulations on the public in a manner where no victim exists is an act of fraud. However, I say it’s treason.

          0

          • SoulCrusher, I may be ‘clueless’, but in this case I’m right. The Cambridge Dictionary defines STATUTE as a LAW that has been formally approved and written down. Say what you will, but clearly STATUTES are LAWS.

            1+

          • No Bob, you’re wrong. Statutes are NOT law. Statutes are rules and regulations of government employees. If a citizen breaks a rule that causes no harm, no crime has occurred. However, if breaking a rule causes harm to another then a crime has occurred. Government employees are required to follow the rules and regulations all the time in their official capacity as we hold them to a higher standard, but when they are not acting in an official capacity they are private citizens but took an oath to obey such law all the time. WE THE PEOPLE are held to account to the “Common Law”, Them the government are held to account to Codes, Rules and Regulations. The problem is that government employees have reversed the roles of the rule of law and want the public to be held accountable to what they are held accountable and are illegally persecuting private citizens across this entire country in a nationwide racketeering ring involving the government, it’s agents and BAR Association members who are defrauding the public in what I call mass fraud, war and treason against those whom pay their salaries. The Bar Association members are assisting the government and get paid the most by the public, yet don’t defend us and actually help the government defraud us. Bob, I already gave you examples of Supreme Court decisions that are stating exactly what I am saying, yet you want to look at a dictionary and deny the law of the land because you are brainwashed. You are not a government employee unless you are in fact a government employee and statutes are NOT law. Statutes are the “prima facia” evidence of law, which means “on the surface” they appear to be law, but are not when dealing with common law. Stop lying to the public and telling them they are to account to the treasonous legislature in Annapolis because those scumbag traitors in Annapolis and DC have no authority to make law for WE THE PEOPLE and the courts must get your consent to convict you by contract. That’s why they force you to have an attorney because when you use an attorney you are considered a “ward” of the court. They make sure they convict you even though the conviction is illegal. Every Judge, Lawyer, Police Officer and Prosecutor is a traitor for warring against the Constitution. Every politician is a traitor as well when they make the unconstitutional law. That’s why the pigs call us “sheep”, because we are being led to their slaughter. They will force you into a conviction, just like they did me and they will threaten you with harm and murder, just like they did me. They will use your lawyer to threaten you with the murder that way they have plausible deniability in regards to coercion, but the truth is the Judges, Prosecutors and your very own Lawyer will break every established law and commit treason against you, just like they did me. I am not a criminal, but every member of our government is a criminal and a traitor. It is my opinion that every government employee involved in the criminal justice system, as well as every criminal defense lawyer in this country, should be executed for mass fraud and treason against us.

You’re making much, much too much, of this. You have become so fixated on the trees that you no longer see the forest. It’s no big deal. You just have to step back, admit you’re wrong, let it go and move forward.

            “Bob, those aren’t laws, they are statutes of a treasonous legislature that is run by the treasonous Democratic Party in this corrupt State.”

          • No Bob, SCOTUS says the code, rules, regulations, policy and statutes are “not the law”. That’s the bottom line. Statutes are constrained by the Constitution and if a statute does NOT conform with the Constitution, it is nothing. Statutes are not law, they are the “prima facia” evidence of law and mean absolutely nothing if there is no common law violation. Anyone who enforces statute in a situation where there is no victim is a terrorist and a traitor. The “Common Law” is all WE THE PEOPLE are held accountable to and anyone who thinks differently is either brainwashed, ignorant or a traitor. I don’t care what your dictionary says and I don’t care what you say either.

They are codified crap by a group of treasonous politicians whom are trying to brainwash and subjugate the public.

            The only thing he had in common with the suspects was “race”.

            Gahler also at the time called Egertons experience just an “unfortunate occurence” in the midst of a robbery manhunt.
            There is no race baiting. There is no fake news.
            You must be the propaganda minister for Gahler’s racial biased policies.

            It wasnt just an “unfortunate occurence”.
            Racial pofiling is a crime
            . Egertom in no way fit the description of the suspects.
            .The only common factor the suspects had with Egeton was race.
            . Thats by definition “racial profiling”..
            Racial profiling by the Harford police spreads hate.
            Questioning egregious racial profiling is an attempt to stop racially biased police policy..

State Employees are forbidden from receiving gifts for a “quid pro quo” as that is called “bribery” of a State Employee.

          • I had not heard about the Harley donations to HCSO. What would a County level Sheriffs Department need with motorcycles? They don’t have a motorcycle cops. They are getting nothing for the donation but a Tax write off? Right….Tell yourself that if it makes you feel better.

            I wouldn’t be surprised if Gahler himself doesn’t t have one of these parked in his garage.

          • It’s kinda hard to give a motorcycle away anonymously. There is a title involved you know. Like I said, if there is a gift with an expectation of a favor it is called bribery of a public official. If no service or favor is expected then it can be a donation. A lot of people who have too much money do stupid shit like that.

          • @ reality check – The real question is why would you give the police anything? They are already funded by taxpayer money as thy wage war against the taxpayers every damn day. Why would you give money to a government that has staged an illegal and unconstitutional war against the American people on behalf of the dumbocrat party? There is no Constitutional authority in regards to social reform and every statute made by the Democrat Party to reform us in our behaviors or in a social scheme is completely unconstitutional. That which is unconstitutional is illegal as it violates the Supreme Law of the Land. Get it thru your thick skull fuktard. The Democratic Party is illegal, unconstitutional and an act of war against the US Constitution, the Maryland Constitution and WE THE PEOPLE whom are the United States.

  111. In 2016 Sheriff Gahler signed on to an ICE program (287g Agreement) where the Sheriff’s department would screen county detention center detainees to determine their immigration status and to assist ICE in their deportation, if they were determined to be deportable.

    As I read this 2016 agreement it states that it will remain in effect until June 30, 2019. Has a new agreement been signed? Is there any state/county over site of such agreements? If not, there should be.

    • This is the “new norm” which exists because our liberal society allows it to exist. Thanks to political correctness, the ACLU, and failure to hold certain groups responsible for their blatant repeated bad behavior. The police know many of the bad players but are reluctant to confront them if they are people of color in fear of being labeled as racist. In Baltimore and many other cities the data is clear. In the majority of the homicides the victims and the assailants are black. An entirely too large segment of the black community embraces the gangster and drug subculture. That gangster violent mentality is reflected daily in the billion dollar music business industry. You have black athletes participating in “stop snitching “ videos. These any many other factors poison the minds of young black youths. Meanwhile people are dying. So many of the young people of Baltimore and other cities have evolved into having one solution to conflict just “pull the trigger”. The black community needs to step up to the plate and address these issues head on and hold those responsible accountable and stop allowing their claims of racial injustice to be their shield. The fraternity supporting the acknowledgement of right and wrong needs to be stronger than the fraternity of color. Personally I am getting very tired of seeing people, particularly young children die and have city leaders acting as if they have no solutions when they clearly know who is responsible and why. Back to that powerful fraternal thing again

      • You are right The increased violence that is taking place in Baltimore is sadly the “new norm”. However, we must be careful in the amount of blame we attribute to race, ACLU, political correctness, liberal society and that “powerful fraternal thing”.

        Irrespective of race, a ghetto is a violent place. The deck is stacked and outcomes are not good. The violence is not a racial thing. It’s an environmental thing.

        1+

        • Blind dismissal of hard data by liberals and the black community is by far the greatest cause of racial bias and divide. It is clearly evident to anyone who actually goes out in to the real world that a disproportionate amount of the black community embrace a gangster fast money life style. The only solution to a conflict or a dispute is violence. PullIng the trigger. There are bad people of all races. The difference is the black community assisted by a liberal media attempt to avoid, explain, or just flat out ignore the issues. Meanwhile people are dying. I give you the senseless death of Taylor Hayes or the senseless shooting of that two year old child in the road rage incident. If the black community is truly concerned with these type of incidents they need to hold those of their own responsible when it applies. Yes it is an “environmental thing”. That environment contains a disproportionate amount of black people doing the wrong things. Let’s hold those responsible who are in fact culpable. Stop making excuses people are dying.

          • Regrettably, at the center of the “hard data” you refer to is our country’s history of slavery. This terrible legacy, coupled with current political, economic and social policies, has created an ‘underclass’ that has been relegated to the inner-city slums. If the tables were turned and the majority of ghetto residents were white the violence would remain.

            Like you, I am saddened over the death of 7-year old Taylor Hayes and the shooting of 2-year old Ka’si in the road rage incident. One thing that would really help is stricter gun control laws. There are more guns than people in America. We don’t live in the wild west anymore. We don’t need all these guns. “Pulling the trigger’ is way too easy. Less ‘triggers to pull’ would definitely be a step in the right direction toward making America safer and less violent.

          • So slavery and you might as well throw in white supremacy and white nationalism is the reason that a large portion of the the black community is behaving so poorly killing and victimizing one another at an alarming rate. Thanks for explaining this to me. I was wondering why affirmative action, the creation and quick ruination of expensive once quality public housing, educational grants and incentives, and billions upon billions of dollars pumped in to a community and other social programs didn’t work. I often wondered why people afforded all of these programs and benefits for many years have failed to behave well and better assimilate in to a more orderly and safer society. Now I know. Slavery. Okay I will pass that along. It was a real learning experience. So if I run in to someone disgusted about the indiscriminate killing and who wonders why the black community doesn’t condemn the far too many black youths who embrace the gangster, drug dealing, fast money, violent mentality I will tell them slavery is responsible and it should end there. I will tell them to ignore the hip hop and rap songs that advocate violence, drug use, and disrespect to women. I stupidly thought those factors were responsible for the senseless deaths in Baltimore and other cities. Slavery, got it. My grandmother often told me ignoring a problem will never make it go away.

          • The only thing modern Americans are a slave to is the treason of the government. NO MAN has owned another MAN since 1865, moron. The government has you enslaved by illegally taxing your income, property, licenses, toll roads, etc… Since this treasonous government has denied my rights, as well as those of millions of Americans thru the myth of the COMMERCE CLAUSE, the power and authority of this government is extinct. It has been completely forfeited by their treason. I AM living proof of this fact. There is no law in the government, only treason and that is the slavery you should be talking about. It should also be noted that this treason was designed and orchestrated by the Democrat Party and the BAR Association. You can talk about all the slaves in the past, but that will never give you a right to claim anything from those terrible deeds in the past because you were not and will never be a slave, except to the treasonous government that you worship like a God.

      • First of all. screw Congress. I find it rather ironic that someone get’s in trouble for lying to the largest group of liars in our Country. ALL Politicians are liars and are supposed to be held accountable to WE THE PEOPLE. WE THE PEOPLE are not beholden to them. Congress does not make rules and regulations for the public, nor does the public have to obey any Congressional legislation unless it is added to the Constitution via a Constitutional Amendment. The enforcement of Codes, Rules and Regulations on private persons is unconstitutional as there is no Constitutional Authority to do such a thing. That which is unconstitutional is illegal as the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. Any over reach is treason. Roger Stone is not a government employee and he is not beholden to the codified crap of the US Code. The US Code is the law of government employees. The public is only beholden to Common Law. Roger Stone needs to tell that Court to “get that fraud and treason out of my face”. Let me be very clear. Article 1 Section 8 does not give Congress any authority to regulate the behavior of the people. End of discussion. Would someone please tell me where and when Congress got authorization from the people to regulate their behaviors. It just never happened. What you have is a completely treasonous government conning the public that pays their damn salaries into believing they are the law. They are not the law. They are your enemy and it is about time that they get regulated by the people.

          • Ok, you just showed how much of an idiot you are. There is no such thing as a felony conviction from any statute that has been passed by the treasonous Maryland Legislature since 1867. It is forbidden to be that way due to Article 18 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights and ALL convictions of such are an act of fraud, war and treason against the public. Also, in the great fake hate STATE OF MARYLAND, anyone convicted of a felony is granted ALL voting privileges back after their sentence is completed. Only an ignorant fool such as yourself makes totally ignorant statements like the one you just made and everyone that reads it is laughing at YOU out loud. I don’t vote because I am not registered and I give NO CONSENT to the treasonous Federal or State Legislative faculties. They are just a group of traitors, so why would I consent to those traitors? You on the other hand are nothing but an uneducated fool and your mental outlook comes from generations of inbred breeding practices of your family. Don’t be like this guy. Don’t be an uneducated imbred fool who has sex with his sister, like LOL.

    I try to take the high ground and believe that the President’s supporters are honorable and are not motivated purely by self-interest, but it is difficult for me.

    I need to be careful that my feelings toward Trump do not poison my attitude toward those that support him for whatever reason.

    My concern is that we are becoming a nation of negative cynics, instead of positive idealists and that the “bonds of affection” that unite us are being overridden by a pervasive sense of cynicism that divides us.

I am an Independent moderate but it is clear to see that people the likes of Bob are so full of contempt for President Trump that the bias spews continuously.

He doesn’t unite and bring us together— he divides and separates us. The reason I feel so negatively about the President is because he SCARES THE HELL OUT OF ME. Like I have before, he presents a “clear and present danger” for our country. We can and must do better!

The Democratic Party has thrived off of division, fear and hatred since it’s beginnings. You’ve apparently forgotten history and conform to the fictional narrative of the Democrats being the Party of reason and justice. Last time I checked the Democrats were the Party of slavery, the KKK, John Wilkes Boothe and ANTIFA. The only “clear and present danger” to our country is the Democrat Party, especially those whom reside in the House of Treason also known as the House of Representatives. The House is supposed to represent us. Instead they try to enslave us. Bob, you have no clue what you’re talking about and those whom divide us are the Democrats as they use every trick outlined in “Mein Kampf” to steer the American public into the social reform idealism of the UN, the HOLY SEE and the Nation of Palestine, all on behalf of that onw world government I call the “New World Odor”. I don’t recognize the UN as a government, nor am I a Catholic or a Muslim. Your Code of Rules and Regulations is being illegally enforced on the public and now the public wants to enforce the Constitution on the Democrats. That’s just the way it is and to say different is to be a traitor…..

    • Did anyone happen to see how the fine youth of Baltimore treated the First Lady of our country. It is no wonder to me that Baltimore is the way it is. A lawless haven for thugs, gangsters, drug traffickers, and murderers. The woman had the courage to address the students of Baltimore about the opioid and drug problem. THEIR PROBLEM! How did they act ? Like a bunch of liberal bitches. I don’t claim to be the toughest guy in the world but I can tell you one thing. In my life if I had a problem with a man I would address it with him. Only a little bitch would attack a man’s wife or family. The sad thing is the incident received little if any coverage by the liberal media. The liberals and Democrats have reached a new low. If the 2020 election does go there way the Democrats have no one to blame but themselves

  127. Hey Bob. You and your Democratic friends have been pretty quiet about the way the fine youth of Baltimore treated the First Lady. You know only a little bitch would attack a man’s wife and family. The Democrats have now reached a new low. Then you have Professor Karlan taking the despicable cheap shot at the President’s minor child. What did that comment have to with the impeachment issue from an evidential point of view. I can tell you. NONE!!! You stated some time ago in a prior post that you were a grandparent. How would you feel if a group of people who feel they have a problem with you personally make verbal attacks at your grandchildren? There should be no excuses. No justification. Nothing! Answer this question honestly please. How do you think the liberal media would have responded to the Republicans taking similar cheap shots at Michelle Obama or her children? You and I both know how it would have played out. You guys are your own worst enemy. Every day you guys push President Trump closer to re-election.

    • I believe the booing of the First Lady was uncalled-for. Also, it is very regrettable that Professor Karlan invoked the name of the President’s young son during her testimony. However, she did have the good sense to apologize. Making reference to the President’s youngest child is unacceptable.

      In regards to Trump himself, he doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of getting reelected. Come Jan 2021 he will be out of office and our national healing can begin.

When you decide to an international platform and scold a room full of adults and stare down someone like Trump the usual “oh she’s just a kid” claims go out the window and she opens herself up to be attacked.

  128. Well Bob I realize that you consider yourself a fairly knowledgeable guy. There is an interesting situation in the works. The Democrats are pushing hard for articles of impeachment which is in some ways similar to an indictment. They are basically controlling the tempo. The Republicans are alleging that there have been numerous violations of due process. I feel that there is a good chance that the impeachment will take place. Newt Gingrich once said, and it is very true, that “you can impeach a ham sandwich “ if you want but try to get a conviction. If the issue reaches the Senate there will be a hearing or a trial. In this scenario witnesses and accusers could be compelled to testify and the constitutionally guaranteed rules of due process will be allowed at that time. The President will be found not guilty and the matter is over. If you are a true American you would respect the principle that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Case closed. Then you have Mr. Barr’s requested investigations in to sleazy activities. A lot of dirty politics are going to be possibly uncovered. It will only take one weak link Bobby and you are going to see a lot of your liberal friends grabbing for the last chair as the music stops. Americans are tired of the BS and the hate Trump at all cost mentality. People are going to look at the economy and the stack market. Personally my stock portfolio has tripled since the man came in to office. I think he is going to be elected to a second term. I tell you what, if you are so confident that President Trump doesn’t have “ a snowball’s chance in hell “ of being re-elected why don’t you make this promise to all of us. If the President wins re-election you will promise to move to Canada. You know like the rest of the hypocrites: Bryan Cranston, Samuel L Jackson, Barbara Streisand, Cher, Al Sharpton, Whoopi Goldberg and any other liberal POS. Lol
