BALTIMORE, Maryland September 30, 2015 - The recidivists in the media are trying to screw one of the nation's most intelligent people - Dr. Ben Carson - for stating the obvious: a devout Muslim cannot be President of the United States. Would women not object if a rape victim were told she needed three male eyewitnesses to sustain a charge of rape? Would Gay People not object when a Gay was thrown off of the top of a skyscraper for what? Being Gay. No, of course not. And what if the person insisting on such outrages were President? On the otherhand, as Dr. Carson says, if a person were merely born Muslim but lived an essentially secular life that celebrated and upheld America's founding principles - all persons are created equal, all persons are treated the same under the law, all persons are entitled to due process under the law - then who could object to that person becoming president? Is there anythng that is hard to understand? Is there anything that is controversial?
Dr. Carson, for as good and decent a person as he is, nevertheless scares the living bejeezus out of the uber left. He is fearless when it comes to speaking truth to power. He is a devout Christian. He is African-American and will appeal to Black voters who have suffered under the uber left Obama administration. Suffered, you ask? For all of Obama's nonsense, Black Americans have suffered along with the rest of the nation. Black Unemployment has not improved under Obama, not even a little bit. The poverty rate is in shambles. Dr. Carson's message speaks directly to these overwhelming problems. Once he would get out on the campaign trail after the national conventions, and his words would be matched person-to-person against the criminal Hilary or the Rabidly Marxist Sanders, the election wouldn't be close. It would, however, be a slugfest, what with Clonton knowing she almost certainly will be indicted if she doesn't prevail in the election.
New opinion polls have Dr. Carson pulling even with Mr. Trump. Another group of months that begin to pair Trump with Carson will not go well for Trump. Dr. Carson offers the same "outsider" status as Mr. Trymp, the same ultra-sane economic programs, the same ultra-sane re-establishment of American military prowess, in short, the same everything without the bluster. If Dr. Carson can convince a Marco Rubio or Scott Walker to run with him, how does America lose? It doesn't.
Pope Francis Meets With Kim Davis, Urges Her to "Stay Strong"
Over the weekend the uber left celebrated wildly at the results of the Pope's visit to these United States. Every publicized comment was great and good for the Left. Now, news has emerged that the Pontiff met with Kentucky County-Clerk Kim Davis, who has made headlines recently by refusing to issue marraige certificates to Gay Couples. I have mixed reactions to the things Mrs. Davis does. In a secular sense, I do not have strong feelings on the subject of Gay Marriage. From a Christian standpoint, however, I have very strong feelings. There is no question, at all, that the Bible speaks strongly agiainst homosexuality. I am absolutely opposed Christian Faith. And I am outraged that my political party backs him whole-heartedly. And so I applaud the Pope for this act of Christian humanity.
Sports: Save for Maryland Soccer, Can it Get Much Worse? Orioles Cannot Score in Three Games in Fenway; Ravens Lose Third Straight Nailbiter, Burnley Suffers Seecond Setback, and This One Was At Turf Moor, and Maryland's Football Team is Hammered in Morgantown.
Sebastian Elney continued to emerge as a go-to scorer for Maryland, and the Terps rebounded from a heartbreaking loss at Georgetown to crush Wisconsin, 4-1, in Madison on Sunday afternoon. Elney, who scored Maryland's only goal in the 2-1 setback against the Hoyas, scored the first and last goals against the Badgers as No. 11 Maryland rebounded to crush Wisconsin. The Terps are one of three undefeated teams in Big Ten Conference play, and they currently stand second to Michigan, whom Maryland tied earlier in the season. Elney scored Maryland's first goal in the second minute of the first half, and the Terps were off and running. By the half, Maryland was up, 3-1. Mael Corboz and Alex Crognale also scored for Maryland. Elney had the second half's only score. Maryland is now 4-2-3 overall and 1-0-2 in rhe conference, good for 5 points in the standings.. Michigan is 2-0-1 in the conference, good for 7 points and first place. Maryland is off until Friday night, when they take on Northwestern at Ludwig Field at 7:30 pm.
That is the sum and substance of the good news. The Orioles slipped to the precipice of elimination from playoff contention by dropping all three games to Boston at Fenway Park. Making matters worse, they failed to score a single run in the offensive play pen of the Red Sox. Yesterday, the Orioles wasted a fine pitching performance by Ubaldo Jimenez to lose, 2-0. Baltimore is home for the final seven games of the season, beginning Monday night against Toronto. The magic number to officially eliminate the Orioles is 2, and they are 5.5 games behind Houston for the second and final wild card position. What's worse, there are three teams between the Orioles and Houston: the Angels, the Twins and the Indians.
The Ravens fell behind Cincinatti, 14-0, then stormed back to twice take the lead in the fourth quarter. Joe Flacco threw for over 300 yards, including two TD passes to the irrepressible Steve Smith, Sr., who causght 13 Flacco passes for the game. But after shutting the Bengals down for over half the game - after the Bengals grabbed a 14-0 lead - the Raven secondary completely collapsed in the fourth quarter. On the first play from scrimmage after Smith's second TD gave the Ravens their first lead,, weak-armed Bengal QB Andy Dalton threw a bomb to A. J. Green for a long touchdown. Not to be intimidated, Flacco marched the Ravens quickly down the field for another TD and another lead. For all the good it did. Dalton then engineered a quick drive and again found Green wide open for the winning score. There were just over two minutes left. Flacco again tried to rally the Ravens, but a fourth down pass in the final minute fell incomplete. Now the Ravens go to Pittsburgh for the first of two games with the Steelers. With Ben Rothlisberger injured, Michael Vick will start for the Steelers. Oddsmakers, incredibly, have installed the winless road team as the favorite. Joe Flacco and pray for rain.
I am one of a number of Maryland fans who suspect that last year's fine performance, overall, by the Maryland football team, was out of character for a team that does not have a real good coach. I want to be wrong, but the loss to Bowling Green and the wipe out at Morgantown, was firm proof that this year's team is way out of its league for the coming Big Ten Schedule. Don't take my word for it. This Saturday the Terps play Michigan in College Park. Next Saturday they go to Ohio State. Here is hoping that the next two weeks don't end up being West Virginia times three.
