LIVE Thread:Trump in Hagerstown, MD 4/24/2016 Rider Jet Center @ 4pm EDT
Right Side Network ^

Posted on 04/24/2016 12:37:59 AM PDT by nikos1121

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 late, dear friends.

Busy day, and tomorrow is looking nuts. Other than Paul Manafort's masterful interview with Chris Wallace on Fox this morning, I've been out of the news cycle.

Scanning FR, I don't think I've missed anything major.

LOL....just look me up and you'll see my posts from last night. I did get off some "good" ones! hehehehehehe

I also gave a history lesson on P.T. Barnum, because people keep abusing him and saying that Trump is just like him ( which he is, but they don't know that P.T. was a GREAT ploitician, a VERY CONSERVATIVE GOPer, who was a BIG TIME anti-slavery guy! ) and I don't think anyone even read that post. :-(

HI “Dick”

You have probably missed Donald’s invite for Milkshakes and McDonald’s in the Trump Caboose at 7:00 Trump time.

Dress Casual but shoes are necessary.

Well, it may be time for some Hitler. Lol.

The way some of Cruz’s supporters talk about him, they are focused on what he SAYS HE IS and ignoring everything he does. How far will they go supporting someone based on what he SAYS HE IS???? If Hitler SAID he was a Christian conservative, would they overlook his actions too???

But that would only inflame them and they wouldn’t actually think about that is exactly how they are.
