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.

“Oh gee....just reading his schedule wears me out!
Can you imagine what his days in the White House are going to be like?”
His days in the WH are going to be totally filled, at least the first year or two - bet he wears his much younger staff out!
I love freepers for their wit and candor. Keep it up buttercup.
Thanks paesan. Put me on please, nikos.
Thanks for sharing that interview. Manafort did a GREAT job. But nothing knocked Wallace off his smarmy, eyebrow lifting, eye rolling sarcastic high horse. I’m sure Wallace thought he won.
I have a deep seated need to witness Chris Wallace being humiliated by his own words. I really thought about this: do I want to see him punched in the face? No. Because anyone would react with pain when hit in the face. That wouldn’t be satisfying. I’d prefer his SMIRK falling off his face, his “I’m better than you” eyebrows drooping down into his eyeglasses, and him stammering and backtracking and unable to come up with a prepared smarmy quip. I’d like someone to have some video and audio ready to go to play Gotcha on Wallace, and really grill him over his own actions and words. That would make me happy.
I also did not know you were a chaplain. And having just been through hospice with my dad, what angels you all are. Gd bless. You are doing such good work. (Or were— I guess you aren’t any more.) Just want to say thank you.
Who’s going to get post # 666?
Ok, it’s good I got it. A) Jewish and B) I neutralized the power of the Beast by thanking a hospice Chaplain for the work of the Lrd in that post!! ;)
Love ya” I think about the numbers just for fun. #407 or #704 for Fourth of July. #911 for 9-11. etc. I’m sure others have great comparisons. Yaelle, you knocked it out of the park!

TRUMP in message
(await contact)
Go through Trump website at “contact” link.
Contact them this way.
I also will send a few e-mail contacts via private FR mail. People that are conducting GOTV phone campaigns.
I could have the wrong Freeper, but IIRC LS has published at least one book - may want to freepmail them. Best of luck with your endeavor!
That is so perfect!!
Catching up on the thread. Had a horrific headache this afternoon and just could not be on here.
Thank you everyone for all you do!!
Hope you’re feeling better!
Kasich coming up first on the townhall on FNC now.
Your area GOP office SHOULD have them.
My area is RINO led, and had the Trump signs in the back room. When I asked the front office lady why only (as far as I could tell) Trump signs were not in the front room, a man working in the back room came out to see who was making the fuss (over the Trump signs).
Her excuse was she was cleaning up the front area for a cRuz event!!!!....this was before the TX primary.
They did have the Trump signs, though. She would only let me have six, so I took six.
I know I saw some of your posts and there was nothing wrong with them. If someone had issues, that is their problem. I would not bother responding unless there is something specific you want to address.
I love reading the Trump Family posts!
Manafort handled cHrissy Wallace perfectly!
Loved it when Wallace played the clip of cRuz calling Trump a liar.....and, when Wallace asked Manafort to comment, he said, “There’s your liar.” (Loved his grin, while saying that, too.)
Manafort said cRuz will lose all 5 states coming up, likely get 3rd place....and that his is a failed candidacy. Ouch!!!!
Loved also how he said - which we’ve all noticed for MONTHS - that cRuz makes things up (LIES!!), when cornered. LOLOL.
Wallace didn’t get Manafort to budge ONE inch. By the end....Wallace was Mr Best Friend....commenting about how long the two have known each other and saying he would be looking forward to talking to Manafort, after the returns, on Tuesday.
Will do sweet lips.
Thanks freepersup
