HAGERSTOWN, MD

Hagerstown /ˈheɪɡərztaʊn/ is a city in Washington County, Maryland. It is the county seat of Washington County, and by many definitions, the largest city in a region known as Western Maryland. The population of Hagerstown city proper at the 2010 census was 39,662, and the population of the Hagerstown-Martinsburg Metropolitan Area (extending into West Virginia) was 269,140.

In 1739, Jonathan Hager, a German immigrant from Pennsylvania and a volunteer Captain of Scouts, purchased 200 acres (81 ha) of land in the Great Appalachian Valley between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in Maryland and called it Hager’s Fancy. In 1762, Hager officially founded the town of Elizabethtown which he named after his wife, Elizabeth Kershner. Fourteen years later, Jonathan Hager became known as the "Father of Washington County" after his efforts helped Hagerstown become the county seat of newly created Washington County which Hager also helped create from neighboring Frederick County, Maryland. The City Council changed the community's name to Hager's-Town in 1813 because the name had gained popular usage, and in the following year, the Maryland State Legislature officially endorsed the changing of the town’s name.

The absolute worst hater of Donald J. Trump on Fox News Channel in not Megyn Kelly, but, it is Neil Cavuto. Kelly is sarcastic......but, she realizes that Trump is going to b the GOP POTUS nominee, and moved to make peace with him. Cavuto is adrift at sea, lost in hate and envy. Roger Ailes should fire Cavuto, for he has zero objectivity in his statements of politics & current events. Cavuto belongs in lock-step with “Lyin’” Ted Cruz, his Nutcase Father, and Lunatic, radical, Glenn Beck!!! Can you imagine that group in the White House....ya gotta be kidding?

Support & vote for Donald J. Trump, the next POTUS!!!

[exit82]

Yes, Cavuto has been awful lately.

You would think he would at least recognize Trump for his business acumen, being a host on a business channel and all.

I believe it is called the Trump Effect.

Trump has a way of exposing things, even when he is not trying to do so.

He is like a lightning rod that people react to, and when they do, they expose their inner self.

We see the Trump Effect rippling through society now, as Trump exposes what has really been going on in DC and the political parties for the last 25 years.

That, except with pancakes added, is pretty much what I cook for breakfast. Today, it was pineapple, and Red Bull. Still need to eat the other half of the pineapple. Had to pause to see what’s happening in Trump Town.

[hoosiermama]

Morning all. Up and ready for church. Planting some garden before the rally. Have a great day!

[hoosiermama]

That looks like my breakfast yesterday except I splurged on a pancake with Apple butter. Mmmmm so good

[newfreep]

This says it all...

[hoosiermama]

My cousin who just passed had it. Not as bad The pituitary tumor is heriditary. That’s why we weren’t surprised at mine. No GH issues thus far.

[hoosiermama]

Good one
OK
Made 508 for me. But since I cannot post from phone am limited to link

Babies had a good night. Momma has had breakfast and is now feed them and purring. I put them in a box beside me. She took them out and placed them next to me again. That’s how I woke this morning. One was screaming “I’M LOOOOOOST! FIND ME!”

[Seattle Conservative]

Hi HM!

That sounds so sweet. Mama obviously loves and trusts you.

All - here’s the Sunday Morning Talk Show lineup. Boring except that Manafort will be on Fox News Sunday and Don Jr. will be on State of the Union on CNN. Curious that Koch is going to be on with Little Georgie - wonder if he’s going to endorse (possibly Kasich?) and/or bash Trump.

FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee; Paul Manafort, adviser to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders; former Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla.

FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sanders; Republican presidential candidate John Kasich.

THIS WEEK (ABC): Sanders; Reince Priebus, Republican National Committee chairman; Charles Koch, chairman and chief executive of Koch Industries.

STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Sanders; Donald Trump Jr.

Sharyl Attkisson’s Full Measure Full Measure sits down with Senator Lindsey Graham to discuss his recent trip to the Middle East and North Africa with U2 lead singer Bono.

Have to keep up with Lysie

[nikos1121]

Any news from our friend down under, who was down under?

[nikos1121]

Cavuto loves to spar with Dobbs, but Dobbs is like us, he’s confident about a Trump presidency. Dobbs sees Trump’s negotiating skills as so far ahead of everyone’s that he will unite people like never before.

[nikos1121]

That’s a good. That’s the best I’ve seen all season thus far. Bravo. Good job!!!

[weston]

God, I’m still laughing about the guy yesterday, Tony Demelia, who he told to “Hey, Tony. Where’s Tony DeMelia? He’s the first guy in CT to endorse me. Hey, Tony. Get you ass up here on stage.”

Trump is like the consummate union boss. I imagine, at some meeting with union bosses who’s unions work for him, and a Tony DeMelia was there, it would probably go something like:

“Hey, where’s Tony? Hey, Tony DeMelia? Where’s that fat as Pisan? Hey. There he is. Hey, Tony. Come up on stage here. GEt your fat ass and flabby gut you POS, and get up here with me. Here he is. Look at this fat Mother bleep, he’s got arms like artichokes...Tony you fat SOS come here. Give me a hug.” ROTFLMBO

Good morning Nikos,
Wanted to get your early AM post to this thread.
Just too good for folks to miss! ;0)

This along with the Brian Kilmeade interview posted by exit82 are what epitomize Donald for me.

He’s a guy in touch with the realities around him. A billionaire that doesn’t live in a bubble. He connects with all classes of people because he sees them for who they are.
He’s never out of place.

He’s going to make a helluva President!

[JudyinCanada]

You know, I thought for awhile (not VERY long) that you two were posting pics of what you actually had made and were having for breakfast. Duh.

I thought, wow, those Americans sure are ambitious in the morning - and they sure do eat good breakfasts!

Will check in later. Going to church, then to cottage (Lake Erie) to take down the winter shutters (yeah!), then to lunch, then to daughter’s farm to work the giant rhubarb patch. Hope I make it back in time.

Enjoy your Sunday!

I stopped in Hagerstown once, on a "return home" driving trip after making a few business calls. From memory, the time was between 7-9PM. The gas station was not close to the exit from the interstate, and I drove "through town." The gas station was pretty busy, lots of (I assume) townies about, teens, assorted rednecks. Looked to be a nice, clean city; and the natives appeared happy.

Other than that impression, I don't know anything about the city!

[GizzyGirl]

Wow, I was there so I guess it’s possible I could be dead or injured today, along with the wonderful people all around me and our candidate!! So today I will continue to pray for the safety of Mr. Trump and his family, and all the good people trying to protect him and America! It’s ridiculous how insane these dimwits are!! And I will not be deterred, so instead I am heading out to stump for Trump at Trump headquarters up in Berlin, CT, about an hour away. I have never done anything like this in my life but I want to help make sure Trump gets every one of CT’s delegates so I’m volunteering to help achieve that!! Have a great rally thread today, Trump was incredible yesterday and I hope he repeats same again!!

[Cboldt]

-- Everyone else seems to be in the Megyn Kelly faction, and their careers may be tied to that as well. --

Like any workplace, there is also a certain amount of "herd" behavior. A majority of people will go along with their peers. That's not just a child/adolescent phenomenon.

[etabeta]

Good morning, Trump Family! Reading about the bomb threats at yesterday rally, we know now why Trump was whisked away immediately after he finished talking.

I will not even try with today’s trivia, I can’t ever answer all those questions but it is fun as we learn more about our Country and her people. GO TRUMP!
