California could be called the “guinea pig” of bad progressive, crazy, social programs. If the state is the guinea pig, the schools are the labs where these terrible experiments are conducted. They were counseling confused children to believe they were in the wrong bodies. They were telling kids they could change their gender. They were calling children by the names of their “new” genders. They were suggesting hormone therapies and debilitating surgeries. No one allowed the parents to know. In fact, they actively kept the information from parents. This was possible because of a 2024 California law that prohibits school…

Maryland House Bill 0432 and Senate Bill 0463 Will Prohibit Authorities From Forbidding Homeless Encampments/Vagrancy Such As The Situation In PG County Hyattsville, Maryland residents of the Marylander Condominiums have been telling Prince George’s County Officials for months that a homeless encampment right outside their doors is not only dangerous, but it is ruining their homes. It has finally cost those residents a place to live. The residents of the Marylander Condos, advertised as a “Private community” have been complaining about homeless not only living outside their doors but also invading the condominiums hallways to do drugs, go to the…

As someone who is involved in researching bills and testifying in the Maryland General Assembly to support or oppose certain bills, I often send out information to people about these bills and occasionally people will challenge my support or opposition. I sent opposition to House Bill 740 this week. The bill would require ALL Maryland public schools to have a full-time mental health therapist. This is the bill: hb0740F (1)Download Here is an example of the pushback we got: Why are you opposing therapists in public schools? There are many children who don’t have access to therapists who desperately need…

Since he was elected in 2022, Maryland Governor Wes Moore has lost 9 of his cabinet members either by firing or resignation. The latest is HHS Secretary Rafael Lopez who officially left his position Monday, February 16, after a string of scandals. He will vacate his office on February 23. Lopez released this statement regarding his resignation: “Though I am resigning my post as secretary for health-related reasons, I will always be invested in making sure that our people have access to the services and support they need to thrive,” López said in a statement released by the governor’s office.…

Imagine a school system that has approximately 4500 students, 7 schools, and a budget of $100 million dollars (when $8 million in grants is included). That’s about $23,000 per student. Theoretically, that would be a school system with the best academic scores in the state, right? Maybe even the country. One would think. But, that’s not the case in Talbot County, Maryland. In this small Eastern Shore County, accountability takes a back seat to spending on peripheral programs and state mandates. Proof Of Concept? Everyone who is a businessperson or an investor knows that huge investments in businesses don’t come without proof…

On February 12, 2026, CBS launched its national series, Things That Matter, from The Packing House in Cambridge, Maryland. The guest was Governor Wes Moore. The timing was symbolic. Black History Month. The location was deliberate. Cambridge, a city that served as a hub on the Underground Railroad, and not far from the birthplace of Harriett Tubman. The framing was unmistakable. America’s only Black governor on a national stage. On paper, it was civic engagement. In practice, it felt like a glorified podcast with a studio audience. There were no follow up questions. No sustained pushback. No moment where the…

Over the weekend, Maryland Governor Wes Moore was whining again and pointing out his race card as the cause of all the problems in his life. He seems to be doing that a lot lately, every time things don’t go his way or someone calls him out for the state’s $1.9 billion dollar deficit, his gerrymandering proposal to disenfranchise Eastern Shore voters, the sky high fees for every Maryland service, and his ridiculous proposal for $40 rebate for power customers in the state trying to pay electric bills of over $1,000 a month. (That’s $40, not $400). Seems like he…

There are hundreds of thousands of people who worked as hard as you did and wanted to be in the Olympics but didn’t make it, for whatever reason. I remember dreaming of the Olympics when I was a child. Unfortunately, the opportunities and my natural talent (or lack of both) didn’t make that happen. But, I always wondered what it would be like. You made it. Congratulations. But… Please remember, you have been chosen to represent the United States in a SPORT, not in political commentary, while you are at the Olympics. You have been given all kinds of swag,…

Despite Overwhelming Opposition Democrats Ram Politically Based HB 0488 Through For A House Vote as early as Monday, February 2nd On Friday, January 30, 2026, House Democrats moved HB 0488 to a full house vote as soon as Monday, February 2nd. The Democrat Super Majority ignored Republican attempts to add amendments to the bill as well as an overwhelming percentage of citizen testimony against the bill. The bill would redraw the State’s Congressional Districts, particularly which currently favor Democrats 8-1, virtually eliminating the one Republican representative the state has in D.C., Congressman Andy Harris. The maps were approved by Moore’s Redistricting…

Wes Moore, the Governor of Maryland running for President, testified in front of Maryland’s General Assembly to defend his plan for the gerrymandering of election districts in Maryland on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026. Moore developed the plan with a so-called “bi-partisan” committee last Fall claiming that he was trying to make things fair for voters of the state. Sadly, people see right through the ruse. Having all 8 Congressional seats handed over to Democrats isn’t fair when you have at least 40% of your residents who are registered Republican and 22% more who are registered as Unaffiliated/ Independents. There is…
