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.

I am SO disappointed and depressed.
I feel like crying but it’s like it too bad for that.
Once in a lifetime and I missed it.
The long video I posted contains “language” [sorry] and a band of bikers who start up their own counter-chant.
Epic.
:D
Maybe not—West Virginia’s primary is May 10th—only one other state on that day is Nebraska.
Trump is traveling to all the states with primaries—he is even going to Rhode Island tomorrow (plus two more rallies in PA).
He may do more than one event in West Virginia—maybe he will do one in the eastern part, closer to you.
Don’t give up hope yet.
Plus. once he is nominated he will be traveling all over for the general election.
You’ll get your chance—you’ll see. :)
Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew...thanks ! :-)
Unconfirmed sources are stating that the Ted Cruz Campaign just impacted off the coast of New Jersey at roughly 14,000 mph.

I like Lilies too I have a few in front of my house by the front door. Can’t wait for them to pop up.
Flowers cheer me up. My problem to gardening is I throw different flowers together not taking in consideration of their different colors.
I ordered some Snapdragons today. I hadn’t thought of them since I was a child. They now have them in many different colors.
So glad your happy with your name it really does fit you. You are a Tiger with your emotions and a Lily with your heart.
Trump is like the Energizer Bunny. He keep on going. For one at 70, he is looking good.
Those in his administration are going to work VERY hard!
I don’t think he’s going to allow Congress to drag their feet and make excuses for not making things happen quickly.
Just back from endoscopy and Dr determined I have "inflamed Bowel" which can be treated with meds. I have been in bed for the past week and up and down. I have not been able to spend real time here, but kibitz occasionally. I didn't want to say anything about all of this but now I can have peace of mind.
VOTE TRUMP!
Thank heavens for the good news. Prayer is powerful and I have put you in my prayers every day. Take care.
Thanks for update. We all on the Trump Train have been very concerned and have missed you.
Good night All.
I really didn't think that there was anything "wrong" with my posts, either, but evidently, posting facts to Cruzites, I have committed so sort of macroaggression upon them. :-(
We LOVE having YOU as a member of the TRUMP FAMILY !
The stupid Cruzites just can't handle the truth!
Yes and I’m looking for that as well!
