(LifeSiteNews) – A U.S. Catholic bishop along with several priests held a funeral service in Maryland for a baby who was left in a restaurant's toilet after a botched abortion. The baby, named Philomena Grace by a pro-life woman who secured the baby’s body from the state of Maryland’s Anatomy Board, had developed to a viable age within her mother’s womb when the mother decided in...

Mail-in ballots are expected to hit a record level in this election. The president insists that they can’t be trusted. But many state officials say otherwise. President Trump two weeks ago said his concerns about mail-in voting are being borne out by New York officials sending botched ballots to nearly 100,000 Brooklyn residents. For months, Trump has claimed widespread mail-in voting amid the COVID-19 pandemic opens the door to fraud and is likely to delay the Nov. 3 results. Democrats generally say mail-in voting is proven to be reliable and secure. New York is not among the nine states —...

A Maryland man was arrested and charged after allegedly shooting at two people who honked at him from a truck displaying a sign supporting President Trump as he put up a Black Lives Matter sign in his yard. Baltimore County Police confirmed on Monday that Douglas Kuhn, 50, was charged with two counts of first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault. Police said that two men drove past Kuhn’s yard in Kingsville, Md., on Saturday “with a political campaign sign in the back of their truck while the suspect put up a political campaign sign on his property.” “The...

Marilyn Mosby burst into the nation’s consciousness when, following the death of Freddy Gray, she declared: To the people of Baltimore and the demonstrators across America. I heard your call for “no justice, no peace.” Your peace is sincerely needed as I work to deliver justice on behalf of this young man. Mosby, Baltimore’s top prosecutor, purported to deliver justice by charging six Baltimore police officers with crimes. If that sounds to you like mob justice, you aren’t wrong. Mosby was unable to convict any of the six officers. In some of the cases, an African-American judge, who had specialized...

I live in Montgomery County Maryland. Most of my neighbors are liberal Democrats and Trump haters. So far no vandalism or other attacks. A neighbor down the street and another one block over congratulated me on the sign but said they did not want to put up a sign because they were concerned about what might happen to them or their property.

Washington (CNN)Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, wrote in Ronald Reagan for president when he cast his 2020 ballot. "I know it's simply symbolic. It's not going to change the outcome in my state. But I thought it was important to just cast a vote that showed the kind of person I'd like to see in office," Hogan told The Washington Post in an interview released Friday.

A Maryland school board official is set to resign after writing on social media that she hoped President Trump dies from the coronavirus. “Since he has tested positive for COVID19, maybe the country will get lucky and he will die,” the official, Jacqueline Fischer, wrote on her personal Facebook page. “Wouldn’t that be an act of karma!” “He could care less how many Americans die from this even if he is the one who exposed them,” Fischer added. “I hope he dies from it. That would solve a lot of America’s problems.” The Washington County Board of Education, on which...

by Ron Kersten It seems that so many people on the left have completely lost their minds over their hatred of President Donald Trump. Just looking at social media and seeing the crazy conspiracies can really give one pause, a lot of it propagated by the media. The media whips folks up into a frenzy with false reporting and craziness against Trump. They don’t care who they harm in the process and they are harming a lot of people who fall for it, who become manic over the things like Russian bounties, Russian conspiracies and other debunked stories. I...

In Washington County MD a school board elected official on her face book page wrote about President Trump: “Since he has tested positive for COVID19 (sic), maybe the country will get lucky and he will die. Wouldn't that be an act of karma!” Jackie Fischer has since taken it down and says it was just in frustration. This needs to stop and she needs to be accountable. The Republicans are calling for her to resign and will be filing a formal ethics complaint. So Marylander's pile on and help out with the "frustration" SHE NEEDS TO GO!! What does that...

President Donald Trump has made disparaging remarks about Oakland many times, and he did it again in the Tuesday night debate with former Vice President Joe Biden. Fox News' Chris Wallace, who moderated the debate, asked the president about his frequent assertion that cities with Democratic leadership are more violent than Republican-run ones. When Wallace said Republican-controlled cities show similar trends of violent crime, Trump launched into a stream-of-consciousness response that, at one point, included an assertion that Oakland was "more violent" under President Barack Obama and asked where law and order was under the Obama-Biden watch. "Look at Oakland,...

Really liking the emerging face of the GOP these days. Good stuff. Click to view.

In cities like Baltimore, MD, it’s not easy for a black Republican to run for office. It may sound like a cliche, but stories like this show that in these cities, the opposition will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo. This reality became even more evident during a Zoom debate between candidates seeking to become the next mayor of the city. Pastor Shannon Wright is a black Republican candidate who is attempting to end the streak of Democratic domination of the office of mayor. But, as a conservative running in a heavily blue city, she has run into...

He’s serving hard time for hard partying. A Maryland man was sentenced Friday to a year in prison for hosting two parties in defiance of the state’s coronavirus orders barring large gatherings, a local Fox affiliate reported. Shawn Marshall Myers, 42, had 50 to 60 people over in his Hughesville home for the first bash he threw on March 22, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office. When officers arrived to shut down the soiree, Myers was “argumentative…but eventually agreed to disband his party,” the county State’s Attorney alleged. But he went right back to raging, throwing another party with...

BALTIMORE (ChurchMilitant.com) - The Baltimore archdiocese is demanding a Catholic school use male pronouns for a third-grade girl who says she is a boy. Denise Ball, assistant superintendent of Catholic schools in the Baltimore archdiocese, threatened teachers at School of the Incarnation in Maryland with termination if they do not address a third-grade female student as a boy in the name of being "more tolerant." The third-grade student is the daughter of the assistant principal at School of the Incarnation.

SALISBURY, Md. – The impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on restaurants here on the Eastern Shore has been like no other. “We’re about 50% down for the year, we’re also at 50% less employees than we had when we closed in March,” said Market Street Inn owner, Rob Mulford. And with Governor Larry Hogan’s recent announcement that restaurants in the state can up their indoor capacity from 50 to 75%, you’d think business owners would be excited. But when they learned of the change, this was more of their reaction: “75% capacity means absolutely zero,” said Mulford.
