With an important ruling, the US Supreme Court struck down the use of affirmative action to limit the number of Asians in education. The court, which has 2 Members who are Montgomery County residents and whose families face constant protest in front of their homes, said in essence the way to end discrimination is to end discrimination.

So many of our previous guests and supporters were involved in this case. Mike Zhao, Xi Van Fleet and Kenny Xu either spoke at our Lunar New Year festivities, appeared on Monday's with MoCo, or spoke at our County Conventions. We congratulate them all, along with citizens of all colors who will be recognized as Martin Luther King said, for the content of their character, and not the color of their skin.

Tuesday was an amazing day.  Christians, Muslims, Jews, Atheists, Democrats and Republicans showed up in force.  It is estimated that at one point, before the thunderstorm, we had between 800-1000 people rallying for the reinstatement of the “Opt-out.” Many speakers talked to the crowd about why they wanted the “Opt-out” reinstated, many children spoke as to why they felt uncomfortable in class when this material was presented, and everyone chanted “Shame on you,” which has come to be our rally call.  The opposition had around 25 people.

The next rally is scheduled for July 20, times to be announced at a later date.  A great big thank you to all the participants and future participants.

On the evening of Saturday, April 8^th of this year, the night before Easter, 5 of us piled into my well-worn minivan, voted least likely vehicle to be car jacked. My very tall and not slight husband was designated Security for the 4 of us, older women, physically fit and yet unsure of what we were getting ourselves into. We represented many Patriot women who had expressed interest in going but had been told that it might be too dangerous of a mission. Somehow, we had overcome the voices in our heads and were fueled by the passion in our hearts to show up for prisoners who had been unfairly accused and incarcerated. 

As you can see from the esteemed Councilwoman's T-shirt it says "empathy, compassion, inclusion, justice, kindness". Following protest by muslim, christian, and jewish families of faith against the policies of the eight Democrat women who run the Montgomery County Board of education regarding the mandatory trans-gender storytime instructions to students, the media reported in just one week of Montgomery County Councilmember Kristin Mink's comments admonishing "White Women," Zionist Jews and Muslims for being on the same side as "White Supremacists." She has since deleted those and many other "tweets". The comments were roundly condemned by most, but not all, of the Democrat establishment.

Pictured are Montgomery County Democrat Councilwoman Kristin Mink, a transvestite gentleman with the performing name of Bella Naughty who reads books to children about transitioning their genders, and Democrat County Executive Marc Elrich.

Today we celebrate the great Republican holiday of Juneteenth.                                                             

Our party was founded to put an end once and for all to slavery, we were opposed at every turn by the Democrats and ended up in the depths of a horrible civil war, costing more American lives than any other conflict, but we prevailed.

When President Lincoln put forth the emancipation proclamation it took the troops to put it into effect, Juneteenth was the last date that the last state got the word out about freedom. It wasn’t even realized right here in the Montgomery County area until about the time.

We’ve made such great strides since the Republican party started us down this road, but the battle isn’t over. There are folks that have expanded their hatred toward every skin color and race, and we have to be vigilant.

But today we thank Lincoln, Douglass and so many Republican founders for setting us on this road. Happy Juneteenth

            By any measure, the GOP spirit is alive and well in Maryland as witnessed at the recent Republican State Convention held in Anne Arundel Mills June 9^th-10^th! Special guest and presidential candidate Governor Chris Christie kicked off the events with a personal appearance on Friday night. This was followed the next day with video appearances by Tim Scott and Donald Trump speaking to a packed convention hall of county chairmen and Central Committee members. (It should be noted that Montgomery County representation beat out all other counties in attendance with 41 of our members present – not including the two elected members from MOCO who serve as State Party leaders.)

'Cause the Democrats want more of your money...

The Southern Poverty Law Center has determined that the group of men who dress as catholic nuns, use the name "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" and engage in acts meant to mock and degrade the Catholic Church and it's female members - while demanding respect from others - is not a hate group.

At the same time, they've determined that the group "Moms for Liberty" is a hate group because they advocate for the rights of parents and kids in schools. Let that sink in.

An amazing thing happened Tuesday morning in Rockville – and our Party did not organize it.

Several hundred people showed up for a rally at the Board of Education demanding back the ability to protect their young kids from participating in discussions and material regarding sex and gender transitioning in the public schools. They believe that for kids from kindergarten to 5^th grade to have sexual content and government sponsored discussions of changing their sex provided them by folks other than their parents or guardians is wrong. They consider it religious freedom to raise their children morally without government interference.

It was organized by people of faith, majority Muslim with Christian & Jewish participants. Many, if not most, were immigrants from overseas who had come here for the promise of freedom and democracy. 

Kristen Mink, a new and unique member of the County Council, who has advocated for police defunding while at the same time phoning them for personal assistance - and who's led hate rallies against UARE.US - called out Muslim parents for being on the same side as "white supremacists" at the Board meeting.

I didn’t see it on the local news, but it was in the local press and picked up by FOX nationally. Read former State Senate candidate Anita Cox’s article.  The local press had a biased story noting about 60 people were there, the videos show hundreds of Moms, Dads and neighbors, some in traditional dress, who’d taken off time from work or home to show their deep concern. Many of them were from countries where a demonstration like this would lead to arrest, but they came anyway.
