I Am Not A Feminist
By Jackie Sackstein
I am NOT a feminist. That does not mean that I think women should be paid less than men or always be in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant.

Maryland’s $20 Billion Pension Shortfall & Peter Franchot
By Mark Uncapher
As badly as your 401(k) may be doing because of this year’s COVID stock market swoon, your personal retirement account is not short as many dollars as Maryland’s state pension system.
Joe Biden, Brett Kavanaugh, and Double Standards
By Dennis Melby
The left-wing media had a field day with the nomination of Montgomery County resident Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court in 2018. The Kavanaugh family has been a bedrock of Montgomery County for years. Many of us remember voting for his mother for District Court Judge, and his wife Ashley has been the town manager for their section of Chevy Chase since 2016. However, since Justice Kavanaugh was nominated by a Republican president, the left decided that whatever the cost, he had to be dismissed from consideration, much less confirmation.
Notes from the Bunker
By Bill Richbourg
I’m taking the opportunity to report to you some of the “post session” thoughts and notes from one of my favorite legislators, Delegate Trent Kittleman – District 9A.
Delegate Kittleman offers her suggestions as to which bills recently passed by the legislature, should be vetoed by the governor. She presents brief but cogent justifications for her suggestions that I believe are ideas that we should consider and, if you agree, add our voices to the call for the governor to exercise his veto authority.
Here is what we can do:
Kirwan Report Part II; “Savage” Cuts and “Starvation Wages” for Teachers
By Bill Richbourg
For decades, misleading rhetoric from leading figures in America, like that in a recent article by Norman Augustine, a local corporate magnate RINO, would have us believe that the U.S. spends far less on education than is the case. Consider this statement by former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who said that “Over the past decade, states all over America have made savage cuts to education. Teachers are paid starvation wages…” paint a very dark and dismal perspective of American education, and, of course, of America. Mr. Augustine, through either ignorance or intention, mimics Mr. Sanders in tone and rhetoric.
Where was the Racism?
By Hessie Harris
The Left’s penchant for trying to discredit and shame anyone who does not spout their narrative, promote their goals, and fit their proscribed image has reached a new low.
At a recent presidential briefing, Surgeon General Jerome Adams responded to a question by a reporter asking about the devastating impact that the coronavirus has had on minority communities. He stated that the matter was being looked into. He also noted, as had Dr. Fauci previously, that some blacks and Hispanics often have underlying conditions that make them more vulnerable. He advised that the risk could be reduced if minorities would refrain from drinking alcohol, smoking and using drugs so as not to even more negatively affect underlying conditions and increase their vulnerability to the virus.
