White vendors pay more: Maryland’s Montgomery Co. uses race-based pricing for comic book convention

In celebration of Martin Luther King day?  See the story below.

Imagine if any racial group was charged more because of their skin color. Do you think the PRESS would be up in arms? Well, hardly a peep from the Mainstream Press on this issue. RU surprised? Read the story above from The Washington Times.

SHOULD WHITE FOLKS PAY MORE?

We couldn't resist. This was sent to us by a concerned citizen. Seems folks who have "white" skin should pay more than BIPOC folks in Montgomery County. (BIPOC is Black, Indigenous, People of Color.) We don't know if "Regular" includes Asian, many WOKE activists call them "White Adjacent." Perhaps our esteemed Montgomery County Councilmember Kristine Mink could look into this.

This Wednesday the Maryland legislature will convene in Annapolis - with Democrats holding a majority in both the House and Senate. Worse, there’s no longer a Republican Governor to restrain their impulse to tax and spend.

Depending on your income you presently pay Maryland somewhere between 2% and 5.75% of your income. Montgomery County adds a further 3.2% no matter what you earn. And, of course, that comes on top of 10 to 37% federal income tax - again depending on your income. All together your tax bill is between 15.2% and 45.95% of your income. Holy cow!

CAN YOU AFFORD MoCo IN 2024?

Don't be distracted by national politics!

Our County Executive and County Council are planning to:

• Raise property taxes (again).
• Require businesses to install expensive energy fixes and pass the cost to you.
• Require condos to change to ALL electric heating and cooking ($20,000+ per unit)
• Abolish the sex Ed "Opt-Out" option for K-3 graders.
• More road diets and bike lanes.
• Defund / disrespect the police.
• Remove gas stations.

Think they won’t do it…think again!

It is no wonder that people are leaving Montgomery County in droves ... We need to bring back common sense for the common good back to Montgomery County.

Please contact me if you have had enough and want to help make meaningful change in our County.

Next Meeting January 17

Republican Club of Leisure World

First 2024 Forum

Silver Spring 20908

BOARD OF ELECTIONS AND OPEN POLITICAL DISCUSSION

We've postponed the candidates forum until after the Primary filing deadline. At the January meeting, we will have an open political discussion for our Members and Guests.

We invited Dr. Gilberto Zelaya, Montgomery County Board of Elections, to speak. Find out the procedures for the 2024 Primary and General Election, and the positions open that need your assistance as paid volunteers to ensure a free and fair election.

If members are concerned about other issues, please contact Bob ([email protected] / 301-873-9942). Also check with Bob about how to attend as a guest.

We are also expecting to review all of the positions that we will be voting on next year and how Republicans can enter those races.

If you're a fan of the MCGOP Podcasts Mondays with MoCo you'll remember our friend and participant Dr. Carol Swain, co-author with county Republican Dr. Christopher Schorr, of Black Eye for America. Recently, with the massive antisemitism demonstrations on college campuses, the President of Harvard University has come under scrutiny. Dr. Swain has noticed that Dr. Gay had plagiarized some of her work - and demanded her ouster. Dr. Swain has a great background, is thoughtful in policy analysis and has added so much to the public dialog on the Diversity, Inclusion and Equity movement. 

APPARENTLY IT DEPENDS ON THE "CONTEXT"

The leaders of Penn, MIT and Harvard refused to say before Congress that calling for the genocide of Jews on their campuses is harassment. The President of Penn resigned, stating she'd been wrong. However, there was apparently a change of "context." The President of Harvard resigned, stating she was forced out because of racism. No final decision yet from the President of MIT.
