New face of Congress

The cost of the Access Hollywood tape is now being paid.

History does repeat itself

     45 years ago I got up in Amsterdam Holland to go get my copy of the International Herald Tribune to read what the latest news was on the Watergate affair.  What had flown under the radar was the growing scandal involving Vice President Spiro Agnew, Maryland's gift to our Nation.  The headline blared "Agnew Resigns."
    Rachael Maddow has recently released a podcast examining the story of this resignation scandal that has so many parallels to our current situation with the corruption of the Trump administration.  Central to the Agnew defense was the attacking of the press and the Justice Department.  Sound familiar?  Here is a link to this fascinating podcast. 

 P.S.
     The fact that Donald Trump has held sixty-six rallies since being elected president but still hasn’t visited our troops in a combat zone tells you all you need to know about him. Word is that his bone spurs are acting up again.

A year with two Autumns

 

        Having spent a couple of weeks in Alaska this past September I have had a chance to experience two Autumn seasons this year.

      While the local scenery can't quite compare to Alaska's Autumn we have some areas that are worth a visit.   Yesterday a hike in the Patapsco State Park in Elkridge had this view of our local Autumn colors.

Community Action Council's Holiday Meals Program needs your help

     Each year, CAC’s Howard County Food Bank provides nutritious food to more than 35,000 people and this Thanksgiving, CAC has promised to provide holiday meals to 1,000 families in need. CAC has the funding secured for 600 of those meals and is asking the community to help cover the cost of the remaining 400 meals.

A donation of just $20 will cover the cost of one family’s holiday meal – a turkey, holiday sides, produce and bread. That’s it! I’m donating this year and I am hoping that you will join me in supporting this amazing cause.

Please help a Howard County neighbor have a wonderful holiday. You can donate online to this cause here:https://cacholidaymeal.causevox.com/
