Next Meeting March 20

by Bob Kammer - [email protected]

Although John Teichert, former Senatorial Candidate, did not appear at the February meeting, we had a spirited presentation with Lou Peck, a long time political reporter in Montgomery County and on Capital Hill. You should have been there!

We have reached out several times to ask Gov Hogan, candidate for the US Senate, to make a presentation at our March meeting. We have used all of the contact points on his State Board of Election post, several times. As of press time we have had no response!

We do have Brenda M. Diaz, a candidate for the Montgomery County School Board scheduled to speak at our March 20th meeting. This year there a number of candidates for the three contested seats available this cycle. We are expecting copies of this year’s “blue book” (as opposed to the teachers union’s Apple Ballot) of endorsed candidates shortly and will have them available at future meetings.

We meet at 1:30 PM on the third Wednesdays of each month In the Chesapeake Room of Club House I. Be there to meet other Republicans from the Leisure World community. Contrary to what the Dem’s would have you believe, WE ARE NOT ALONE!

We have reached out to the remaining candidates for the US Senate to be with us at the April Meeting, just before the May Primary.

Congratulations to former President Donald Trump for securing the Republican nomination for President. Rarely do the American voters get a second chance to make a decision. 

In November, the records of Donald Trump and Joe Biden will be on the ballot. The voters have an opportunity to consider the results of inflation, illegal immigration, crime, and worldwide instability. 

When they do I believe the 45th President will be elected the 47th President.

Chairman, The Republican Party of Montgomery County Maryland.

When you’re the U.S. President the world is a stage, something proven by Biden’s well-rehearsed performative art during last week’s State of the Union address. There was palpable relief among the Democrats afterwards, with gratitude that their progressive pony will seemingly be able to finish the race. As for me -- and I hope for you -- his speech felt like an aggravated assault on my common senses. There were multiple outlandish contradictions in his remarks, involving things that are otherwise patently clear not to be true. Consider just these three:

• BIDEN, State of the Union, 3/7/24: “Overseas, Putin of Russia is on the march, invading Ukraine and sowing chaos throughout Europe and beyond. If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine, I assure you, he will not.”
• BIDEN, press conference, 1/19/22: "I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do."
• COLD HARD FACT, 2/25/24: As reported by Ukrainian President Zelensky last month, “31,000 military personnel have been killed in this war.” And by one of the most notoriously evil men in modern history. Instead of playing footsie with Putin in the beginning, Biden should have threatened to chop off his foot if he stepped even one-inch over the border into Ukraine. Now Biden is trying to assure us that if not stopped, Putin’s murderous aggression will not end in Ukraine. His political fix? Blame Republicans for not providing more funding on demand for a war that might very well have been prevented in the first place with staunch American leadership.
