Breaking Up MCPS
There are some aspects of our life that are so ingrained in our consciousness that we don’t even question them. One of them is the boundary for “Montgomery County Public Schools.” The school district’s boundary coincides with the county’s boundary, so there is only one public school system for the entire county. Is that really…

Removing a Council Member
Some jurisdictions provide a remedy for removing an elected official that no longer serves his/her constituency. For Americans, arguably the most important removal procedure is against the president of the United States. Only the House of Representatives can impeach a president, and the Senate conducts the trial for removal. A two-thirds majority in the Senate…

Francis Scott Key Bridge – Wes Moore Timeline Leaves Questions
First and foremost, our sincere prayers are with the families of the victims of this event. And not for one second did we ever doubt that our first responders would turn their backs on an emergency. They are like buffalo – they face the storm straight on. However, we are a bit, shall we say…

MoCo’s Socialism Is for the Rich: Part 3—The Way Out
In Part 2 of this series we pointed out that the socialists in MoCo have brought us to a situation in which a $1.3 million severance pay is given to a disgraced school superintendent while the poor are threatened with cuts in bus service. In this installment we prescribe a few remarkably easy ways to…

Wellllll, since the Apple endorsed candidates will not be transparent and release the answers they provided to the Apple Ballot Questionnaire and since MCEA will not release the answers the candidates provided…..we will.

MoCo’s Socialism Is for the Rich: Part 2—The Ws and the Buses
In Part 1 of this series we used the example of free COVID tests to show how our county’s budget favors, quite frequently, the rich at the expense of the poor.

(That would be for one BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test; sophisticated consumers, a skill set that continuously eludes me, can bulk purchase two such tests for $19.00.) Fully four years after the first signs of a worldwide pandemic…

Power and decision rights are being taken away from Maryland counties and localities and being centralized in Annapolis. Well, to be specific, centralized in the hands of a few Democrat politicians who convene in Annapolis a…
