Something happened last Friday that we think encapsulates an issue that we have been trying to come to grips with in our country, our state and our county. It is a generalized feeling of disrespect for the American taxpayer. We go through our days trying to “do good” and yet we feel unappreciated. There is always something to fix. There is usually someone less fortunate who expects something from us. This happens internationally, as well as nationally and locally.

Conservatives, common sense Democrats and MoCo Republicans attended last month's CPAC meeting held in Prince Georges County, Maryland. Among the many highlights were appearances by Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, as well as numerous elected and international office holders. If you're into politics MoCo is the place!

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has long been a pillar of American justice, entrusted with enforcing the law and ensuring national security. However, in recent years, it has been marred by controversy, accusations of political bias, and a lack of accountability. Many conservatives believe the agency has strayed from its intended purpose, becoming an instrument of political influence rather than an impartial enforcer of justice. Reform is overdue, and Kash Patel is the ideal candidate to lead that charge.

Kash Patel’s Unique Qualifications

Kash Patel’s background makes him the perfect choice to restore integrity to the FBI. As the former Chief of Staff to Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, Patel led critical national security operations and provided counsel on defense strategy. His tenure as Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the National Security Council saw him play a pivotal role in eliminating major terrorist leaders, including ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Al-Qa’ida’s Qasem al-Rimi.
