Image by The National Guard Hurricane Helene ravages the Southeast, questioning the absence of FEMA and advance warnings. The functionality of various federal entities seems questionable as Hurricane Helene severely impacts multiple Southeastern states. Significant floods caught residents off guard with numerous individuals reported missing. Social media emerges as a vital source for real-time updates and requests for assistance. The glaring absence of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) raises concerns. While the national Emergency Operations Center near L’Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C., is operational, questions arise regarding its staffing levels and effectiveness in issuing timely alerts. Speculations loom about whether…

A recent poll conducted by the Arab American Institute suggests that former President Donald Trump is the preferred choice for president among registered Arab American voters, holding a slight lead over Vice President Kamala Harris with 42 percent to 41 percent. Among likely voters, Trump’s lead expands to 46 percent against Harris’s 42 percent. The poll also indicates that 46 percent favor Republicans to control the next Congress, as opposed to 43 percent who prefer Democrats to control Congress in 2025. These results mark a significant shift from 2020, where 59 percent of Arab Americans planned to vote for Democrat…

We’ve heard about lawfare at the National level against various political figures. It’s where the government in power charges people they don’t like with crimes so they can ruin their reputations and deplete their bank accounts. Sometimes they just want the citizen to stop asking questions, or, in the case of some, conducting investigations. It can happen in small towns too. The last 19 months have been rough in Oxford, Maryland with controversies, dishonest politicians, audit findings ignored, hundreds of thousands of dollars unaccounted for, disregard for the election laws in the town charter, a huge structural deficit, and a…

On Tuesday, Iran launched more than 180 ballistic missiles at Israel amid escalating tensions. The attack resulted in one Palestinian casualty in the West Bank, but no casualties were reported among Israelis. In a statement, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian justified the strike as a response to the Zionist regime’s aggression, aiming to establish peace and security in Iran and the region. U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken condemned the attack, calling for worldwide denouncement. He also mentioned that initial reports indicated Israel, with support from the U.S. and other allies, effectively repelled the attack. The Pentagon confirmed that two U.S.…

Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group, has confirmed that its former leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike near Beirut. Nasrallah had been at the helm of Hezbollah for more than three decades, including during the 2006 conflict with Israel. The recent actions by Israel against Hezbollah have been severe, resulting in the deaths of most of the group’s leadership and the destruction of numerous weapons caches and bases. The first strike involved remotely detonating Hezbollah operatives’ pagers, which disrupted their communication network, causing casualties and widespread damage. This was followed by a massive Israeli Air Force operation that…

Staff Writer September 24, 2024 Randi Weingarten (X screencap). Federal control of public education has been a disaster, and it’s only getting worse. A cursory look at the most basic educational statistics is horrifying. Scientific American estimates that two-thirds of elementary schoolchildren lack fluency in English, while an astonishing 40% are flat-out illiterate. Further, teacher’s unions have become a political cudgel, wielded by ideologues like Randi Weingarten. Covid-19 served as the perfect magnifying glass of the degree to which the unions have become a tool designed to support a progressive narrative, children be damned. So when Donald Trump calls for an end…

By David Bell September 26, 2024 Public Domain Words can harm. The childhood saying “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” is obviously untrue. Words bring ruin and despair, drive people to suicide, and foment massacres and war. They are used to justify the enslavement of nations, and the genocide of entire ethnic groups. This is exactly why we must all, always, be free to speak them. In a perfect world, lies and deceit would not exist. We would have no reason to fear the spoken word. In the world in which we live, lies…

Please Follow us on Gab, Minds, Telegram, Rumble, GETTR, Truth Social, Twitter   President of the Oxford Commissioners Norman Bell ran on a platform of “openness” during his campaign. Since taking office, he seems to have changed his mind. Before a packed meeting room of town citizens, Bell and fellow Commissioner Tom Costigan went against the wishes of those attending and many others who wrote letters. They voted to implement a Resolution to amend the rules for conduct at Commission meetings. It was initially pointed out by Commissioner Greer that the proposals for the resolution posted on the town’s website were not the same as the ones being…

Oxford, Maryland is a small town of under 600 people. Since February of 2023 and the sudden retirement of the Police Chief Patrick Maxwell, the citizens have uncovered a great deal of hidden information, regarding both financial and governmental actions that either not disclosed to the public or hidden to protect government officials, town employees, or a small circle of favored citizens. Naturally, much of this information was only released after public information act requests by local residents. The town and its administration closed the ranks and forced taxpayers to go to this extent to get answers. Then, they tried…
