Montgomery County suffers a beat down. *

By Lori Jaffe

Police have released a shocking video of the beat down of Montgomery County. They urge anyone with information to run, do not walk, to your nearest polling place and cast your vote to throw the alleged perpetrators out of office.

This video (14:36) shows the passage of the 2027 Operating Budget by the Montgomery County Council, with a 9-2 vote in favor. Approved was a $7.9 Billion – with a “B” -  operating budget and $6.3 billion six-year capital improvements program for the coming fiscal year. Witnesses report the use of one-time revenues for ongoing expenses, and a projected structural deficit of approximately $293 million. The victim is hospitalized and is listed in “unstable condition.”

Our website, MCGOP.com is the best Party website in the State. Check it out here, and thanks to its talented Director Greg Decker. We get compliments from all over the State of Maryland and readership in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and D.C! (Even hear from the White House from time to time!)

Thank you Greg Decker.

It was announced yesterday that all parties had agreed to end military actions around Iran, to reopen the waterways and bring relative peace to an area desperately in need of it. Like you, we'll all follow the next few days and weeks. The great people of Persia, Israel, Lebanon and all the middle east deserve Peace, Prosperity and Safety. This was announced on Trump's birthday. 

Do you think it will happen? Do you think Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama will issue a statement of support? Tell us at [email protected]

The Montgomery County Republican Party held a birthday party in President Trump's honor on Saturday June 6. It was a great success, a packed house, a fun group, and there were many new faces. We loved the optimism of the group – ranging from young to old – and the generosity of the bidders at the auction we had to help keep the lights on. We had several speakers, including local, state and one gubernatorial candidate. We even signed birthday cards for President Trump. We are very grateful that he is our President. We send him our prayers for good health, safety, and great success. God Bless President Trump and God Bless America!

Thanks to those who sent in feedback! Here is some of the feedback that we received.

Poll Workers Needed

Did finally get to be a Judge but they do not make it easy.  Had to take the test again.  Hope I will be assigned to same place  as before.

You are a "tonic" in this sad county!

Dennis, As you most likely know just as I do, the Devilcraps will elect whomever HATES President Trump the most and their agenda/policies are in furtherance of Obama’s “fundamental transformation” of America from a Democratic Republic into a Totalitarian Oligarchy.

Americans better wake up NOW!

Take Action

Since Bethesda Today won't publish my Letter to the Editor, I'm sharing it with you here.

Dear Bethesda Today:

Now let me say clearly - as both the present Chairman of the Republican Central committee, and the former President of the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors (GCAAR) I’d be thrilled if they sent out a team of well dressed canvassers, a press release, a mailing, a Weather balloon, a TV ad, or even a TikTok video telling which MoCo Republicans to vote for. Wouldn't embarrass us at all.

That’s not only their right but their duty and I’m all for it, don’t ask permission, what’s the old Nike ad? JUST DO IT!

We have great candidates, we have a great team, and come November we'll finally have a place at the table. I KNOW IT.

DENNIS MELBY
Chairman
Republican Party of Montgomery County Maryland

Republican volunteers spanned the county during early voting, from Gaithersburg to Burtonsville to Bethesda to Potomac. Turnout was low for Republicans, the weather was hot hot hot. We thank the souls who braved the heat. Mail in, Early Voting and Election Day will complete the cycle. (And of course since it's Maryland we may know results within a week.)
