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.

Only Lou Dobbs and Judge Janine are watchable.

That is about it for me as well. Although I read in some threads that Hannity have been giving Mr. Trump a fair shake of late.

[Spirit of Liberty]

I’m still reading it. LOL. I’m surprised more didn’t ride the lightning bolt too.

Definitely nice to check in this morning and not have the first 3 pages full of Cruz crap.

Famous sufferers from acromegaly include the wrestler Andre the Giant.

In most cases the disease “just happens.”
In the case of Rondo Hatton it is speculated that it was triggered by exposure to mustard gas. This is not a proven fact mind you, just speculation.

Hatton was exposed during his stint with the US Army during WWI in Europe. He also rode with Pancho Villa.

I have always viewed him as a tragic figure.
In youth, voted as the most handsome boy in his high school class.
As an adult, known in the film world as “The Monster Without Makeup.”

Stick to the original plan, but we are meeting at 2:30 pm. Be as obnoxious as you want, speech will not be restricted or policed. I’ve spoken to the organizer of the other event and we are in agreement that maybe two separate presences will be best.
Our group will be standing far enough away from the others that it won’t matter. Let’s have fun and piss off Trump supporters, just respect the other group protesting and their families. Diversity of tactics. Bring dildos, do whatever you want. We will maintain two separate presences and people can just protest wherever they feel more comfortable. We need a bullhorn or a PA system if anyone can bring one with barely 12 hours notice. If not we can do without.

Kevin Becka Why are you out to “piss off Trump supporters”? Why can’t all Americans exercise their own right to free thinking without groups there with the intention to ruin the event. This is an American Democratic event. Not a KKK rally.
