Re: War in Gaza

Second: Is it fair to take this as condoning military participation? Where I’m coming from is the assumption that if a man was converted while in the military, his instruction was to not harm anyone. Because he really didn’t have the freedom to quit the military. Now if that assumption is more or l...

Re: NFL “values”

NFL “values” Returning to the very simple+direct subject line AND OP, does anyone have anything to add wrt NFL “values”? .. and/or lack thereof. It’s hard to add anything-much to THE BEE pieces.

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

It is not just a mortgage document issue. It is COVID relief money fraud, she made a withdrawal from her public pension fund because of claimed loss of income due to COVID. Only there was not any, and it was not true. Should we expect better from those who we entrust with government office? And a l...

Re: NFL “values”

There have already been calls for the Chiefs to get rid of him. It shows that the left doesn't value free speech and thinks that if someone publicly says something they disagree with, they will try to get that person fired. This is very toxic to a free and open democracy. Just because some people o...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Largest public sector unions. It is AFSCME. I don’t know who is claiming that NEA is larger. AFSCME represents all state employees below grade 13. That is a lot of employees.The teacher’s union is a mixed bag, Baltimore County is AFT, unless they have changed it in the past couple of years. (I was ...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

I'm not claiming she should be pardoned and as far as I know, she hasn't been pardoned. But seriously, she took out some of HER OWN MONEY from a 403(b) retirement plan and avoided paying the normal penalty for doing that? That's a Federal case? We are putting that in the same category as racially-m...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

It is not so much donors as the amount of pull she got from the “machine “. If you want to know, Trone was the more “progressive “ candidate. He was simply not part of the party’s preferred demographic. Trone would have been far easier for Hogan to defeat, as he is even further towards the progress...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?

Let’s talk about Marlyn Mosby? Do you think she was wrongly convicted? Has she shown remorse? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/17/biden-pressure-pardon-marilyn-mosby/ The left is up to it to. Did Marlyn Mosby murder anyone in a fit of racist rage? While seeking to groom young girls o...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Looks to me like he was actually trying use his liquor millions to buy himself a Senate seat and the voters weren't impressed. He dropped $61 million of his own money into the race: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/05/09/maryland-senate-primary-trone-money/ As opposed to the donors buyi...
