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.

Hi Dolly....
Just outside Port Dover, Ontario. We call the area the south coast. Sounds like you’ve seen more of Ontario than I have!
I had not heard about Lisinopril. I’m on it..I thought my cough was just my asthma...
It’s not the first, as early as November/December he would add it as a soft spoken aside. Something I haven’t noticed since January/February time frame. Now no more soft aside, he say’s it one breath.
Just like he used to say “WE’RE GOING TO GET RID OF OBAMACARE (and replace it with something else)”.
In regards to stupid leaders it used to be “stupid or incompetent or both (or for entirely different reasons)”. Implying conspiratorially.
Thank you very much!
And as an aside, I love lilies and have lots of different kinds of them. :-)
Thanks.
I was born in 1682 so not up on all the new lingo...
I’ve been thinking about WV as well - sure wish he’d check in.
You are right, he was much more than a "circus" promoter. But even if he did that alone, he would be a notable figure and worthy of more respect than many give him. There should be nothing wrong with giving entertainment to children and families.
missed the rally, had much work around the house. I did just watch the heli arrival. love it!
The crowd was yuge!!
Thanks for keeping everything pinged right. So easy to follow what’s going on and check up on the rally threads now that I’m on all the right ping lists lol.
you guys all do a great job.
A YUUUGE hello, to all.
I was traveling this weekend, spotty internet, and just got home.
Missed today’s rally....and have been keeping up with a few of the zots (out there), throughout the weekend.
Looking SOOOOOO forward to THREE Trump rallies, tomorrow....and then Super Tuesday!!!
Folks are, thankfully, catching on to Lyin Ted and his delegate debacle.
I took Lisinopril for about 3 months and experienced a severe cough that slowly became worse. Doc changed me to Losartan....
Please know that as a Medical Technician who dispensed medication for a living, that I DO know about medicines.
LOL
Please read here about Lisinopril side effects:

Scroll down a bit and click on page 3.
I see Lilies when I picture you...Donald said it fit and I believe him. He said you were, “Tough and Beautiful..”
“I was born in 1682”
Amazing!
You don’t look a day over 200!
~ducking~
Yes, three...God, I can’t keep up with the man...
Thanks
VA Doc told me that a severe cough was VERY common with Lisinopril
He’s correct, and it should be contraindicated for anyone with asthma, etc.
Not a good combo!
If you missed the Manafort interview w/Chris Wallace, it is a must see on how to deal with the marxist propaganda media - i.e. Wallace.
Manafort had a twinkle in his eye as Wallace was asking each question knowing he (Manafort) was going to crush Wallace.
Wallace eventually got tongue-tied and flustered.
Noticed the lack of infiltrators too.
Seems Trump’s people are getting a better handle on this.
And, it helps to hold rallies at venue’s that need to be driven to. Much to easy for the malcontents to skip class or roll out of their parents basement in urban areas.
