The country is being inundated with drones. These drones are mapping, and the government is concealing information. Most likely these are drones from China. Iran and Russia are too busy right now to do this. This is a massive coverup.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan posted eerie video footage on his X account Friday of “large drones” circling above his house just 25 miles from Washington, DC, echoing concerns from Americans about the unsettling aircraft recently spotted on the East Coast, primarily in New Jersey. Hogan, 68, said he observed “dozens of large drones in the sky” over his home in Davidsonville, Maryland, “for approximately 45 minutes” — but didn’t know himself if the aerial phenomena were “a threat to public safety or national security.”

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that he is running for the U.S. Senate because people are fed up with former President Donald Trump’s “divisive rhetoric.” Host Robert Costa said, “Former President Donald Trump, who in recent days on the campaign trail has attacked vice president harris and he’s said she has mental issues. he has said thing after thing, questioning her intelligence, her ability. Do you believe former President Donald Trump is fit for office or not?”

Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks (D) will pay back taxes after improperly claiming homestead and senior property tax credits for homes in D.C. and Prince George’s County. Her campaign said Alsobrooks, who is running for an open Senate seat in Maryland and is currently the chief executive of Prince George’s County, was not aware of the errors. The improperly applied tax credits were first reported by CNN and confirmed by the Alsobrooks campaign. It is not clear how much money Alsobrooks owes the District or Prince George’s, but in letters to both jurisdictions, her lawyer said Alsobrooks intends to pay any...

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) highlighted the “horror” of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, and his own response, in an ad released Tuesday as part of his campaign for the U.S. Senate. “On January 6, as we watched in horror, Hogan didn’t just talk about defending democracy, he did something. Sending in the Maryland National Guard to protect the Capitol,” the narrator says in the TV ad, titled “Never Backs Down.” “That’s the same Larry Hogan. Tough. Independent. Never backs down,” the narrator continues. The one-minute ad shows footage from the Jan. 6 attack on the...

Former Maryland Gov. and U.S. Senate candidate Larry Hogan (R-MD) said Thursday on FNC’s “Your World” that he was “personally insulted” by former President Donald Trump’s comments about the race of Vice President Kamala Harris. Hogan said, “I just really think we’ve got to focus on the issues and kind of avoid all of this gender-race kind of wild attacks. On the issues, there are clear differences between the candidates, and that is what they should focus on. I don’t think it is helpful to be shrinking the tent and alienating swing voters and turning people off. We can’t just...

House Speaker Emerita Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that some of her Republican colleagues have told her that if Vice President Kamala Harris can defeat Donald Trump, they can get “back to our debate on the issues.” Pelosi said, “Let’s just talk about the glory of Kamala and Tim, the promise that they have put out there, the enthusiasm.” Mitchell said, “You talk about John McCain and talking to him and he gave you a heads-up he was going to vote, the key vote to save The Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, so there used...

October 16, 2020 Maryland's Republican Governor Larry Hogan cast a write-in vote for late former president Ronald Reagan last week, his office confirmed to CBS News on Friday. Hogan, a frequent critic of President Trump, is not supporting Mr. Trump nor the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden.

Former President Trump's comments about Vice President Harris to the National Association of Black Journalists are being treated as radioactive by many Republicans. Why it matters: The tense interview is being met with GOP reactions ranging from qualified concern to outright shock, with some Republicans questioning Trump's ability to adapt to the new Democratic ticket. ...

This week marks seven years since Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) historic vote to save ObamaCare. I will never forget a phone call I had with him just moments before he gave the big thumbs down on the Senate floor. He was reaching out about a statement I had issued opposing the Republicans’ effort to repeal ObamaCare. He thanked me for putting people over party and confidentially let me know he was going to do the same. Although we shared the same concern that our health care system desperately needs commonsense reforms to lower costs, McCain and I both knew that...

Amongst the bedlam and cacophony on X after a New York jury found Trump guilty on all counts, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson took to Twitter to celebrate in his own way, by telling everyone that they should respect the verdict despite it being a farce. "It is not easy to see a former President and the presumptive GOP nominee convicted of felony crimes; but the jury verdict should be respected," posted Hutchinson. " An appeal is in order but let’s not diminish the significance of this verdict."It is not easy to see a former President and the presumptive GOP...

Rep. David Trone, D-Md., who was recently blasted for using a disparaging term for Black people during a House hearing, is officially the largest self-funded candidate of a Senate primary race in U.S. history. Trone contributed $18.5 million of his own money to his Maryland Senate campaign, Fox News confirmed. And he brought in a total of over $40 million, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). No candidate running in a Senate primary has contributed this amount in recorded Senate primary history. "David Trone has been crystal clear that he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to...

When Larry Hogan won his gubernatorial election in the State of Maryland back in 2014, he became just the second Republican Governor to win in the State of Maryland in 50 years. The first governor, who had won election 2002, was Bob Ehrlich, for whom Hogan served as Appointment Secretary. As appointment secretary, Hogan controlled all gubernatorial appointments in the State of Maryland from 2003-2007, creating a tremendous opportunity for Hogan to make political inroads.Hogan’s election was covered nationally as one of the largest upsets of the 2014 Election cycle, as Hogan defeated Lt. Governor Anthony Brown for the position....

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan revealed Monday that he was convinced to launch his Senate campaign after witnessing former President Donald Trump’s overt influence on the debate surrounding a bipartisan border bill last month. “It’s why I decided to run for Senate,” the Republican Maryland Senate candidate said during an appearance on MSNBC. Hogan, 67, announced his bid for the Senate seat currently occupied by retiring Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) on Feb. 9. The former governor had previously dismissed having any interest in serving in the upper chamber, citing the quarrelsome nature of life in the Senate.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) is leading or tied with his top two potential Democratic challengers in the Maryland Senate race, according to a poll released Thursday. The Emerson College Polling/The Hill/DC News Now survey found Hogan leading Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) in a hypothetical match-up at 44 percent to 37 percent among registered Maryland voters, with 19 percent undecided. When Maryland voters are asked to pick between Hogan and Rep. David Trone (D-Md.), the poll shows a tighter race, with both men tied at 42 percent, and the remaining 16 percent undecided. It’s a remarkable...

@GovLarryHogan I am running for the United States Senate – not to serve one party – but to stand up to both parties, fight for Maryland, and fix our nation's broken politics. It’s what I did as Maryland’s governor, and it’s exactly how I'll serve Maryland in the Senate. Let’s get back to work.

Alleging an illegal conspiracy to use intimidation, harassment and fear against its representatives and potential candidates, the bipartisan third-party group No Labels said Thursday it has filed a complaint with the Department of Justice. Members of the group said they are requesting a formal DOJ investigation into whether the individuals engaging in the alleged conspiracy are subverting No Labels’ right to access the ballot in time for November’s general election. No Labels representatives said they are responding to American voters, claiming that the vast majority of them are not happy with the likely major party nominees for this year’s election:...
