Maryland In Breathtaking Rally to Defeat Michigan and Remain Unbeaten

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Monday, October 31, 2016 - Down by two goals with the second half at the midway point, and with three starting players and a key reserve out with either injuries or food poisoning, Maryland somehow rose off the ground and defeated Michigan, 3-2, Sunday afternoon in a double overtime thriller in Ann Arbor.  The Wolverines scored in the sixth and 19th minutes of play to build a very fast two goal lead over the Terps, now 15-0-2 overall and 7-0-1 in the Big Ten.  

The score remained 2-0, Michigan, until the 66th minute, when the home team, backed up on its heels under relentless Maryland pressure, was called for a handball in the penalty box.  Gordon Wild converted the penalty kick, bringing the Terps back to within a goal.  But the Wolverines appeared to be withstanding the Maryland charge, avoiding a second Maryland score with 5:47 left when two officials could not agree that a Maryland shot went completely over the goal line before being kicked away.  But with just 61 seconds left, Wild sent a ball screaming through the goal mouth from the Keeper's right.  Chris Odoi-Atsem slid hard to the ball and forced it past a beaten Wolverine Keeper, Evan Louro.  

That tied the game and led quickly to overtime.  Neither team scored - or came close to scoring - in the first overtime, and it began to look like the second OT would also pass without a score.  Suddenly, however, the relentless pressure paid off.  With just 70 seconds left before the match would end in a tie, Wild gained the ball and fired a shot from the middle of the penalty box.  Louro and his mates kept that shot from going in, but the rebound was not controlled and ricocheted quickly to Suli Dainkeh, who had pushed up further and further as the match moved along.  Dainkeh ripped a bullet to the far post and near the top of the goal. Louro had no chance.  The jubilant Dainkeh looked stunned, himself, for he had never scored a goal in his four years in College Park.  

The victory for Maryland was all the more amazing because it came with three starters and a top reserve kept out with an injury and a bout of food poisoning.   Amar Sejdic, Sebastian Elney, Eryk Williamson and D.J. Reeves all missed the game, and Andrew Samuels left the game in the first half, never to return.  Terp Coach Sasho Cirovski cobbled together a line-up that featured Wild wide on the offensive wing and Jake Rozhansky and Keegan Kelly prowling the center of the pitch.  Alex Crognale and Cody Albrecht anchored the defensive middle.  Donovan Pines came on for Samuels and did a bang-up job.  He narrowly missed scoring when Louro, already going down to stop a previous shot, managed to flick a Pines shot from five feet away over the cross bar.  As the second half moved along, Odoi-Atsem and Dainkeh pushed further and further forward until they became factors in the offense, which was producing tremendous pressure on the Michigan Defense.

Maryland, ranked No. 1 again, now returns home and will play a Big Ten Tournament Quarterfinal next Sunday (4 pm) against the winner of a match on Saturday between Eighth Seeded Michigan and Ninth Seeded Rutgers.  The match on Sunday will be televised on the Big Ten Network.  The Semi-Finals and Finals will be played the following weekend in Indianapolis.  It is the tournament winner that gets the Big Ten's Automatic Berth in the NCAA Tournament, although Maryland, by virtue of its two month run as the No. 1 team in the nation and its regular season Big Ten championship, is as close to a certain bet to make the NCAA field as any team in These United States.                      

Hillary's Worst Nightmare: The USA Comes to Grips With the Wikileaks

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Friday, October 28, 2016 - One of those things.  "Just," one of those things.  For months, now, every single day is filled with the most vile characterizations of Donald Trump.  

For six decades, the ultra left existed without the need or even the desire to utter a single negative word about Trump.  They didn't know he was alive.  They didn't care a lick about him.  He was unimportant, a non-factor, a person to be existed with concurrently and without care or concern. In fact, for many of those years he was one of them.  But then Donald Trump made the decision to run for President as a Republican.  He wasn't a political insider of any kind, Republican or Democrat.  You might think that is good and I might think that is good.  But the insiders in both parties hated him for it, and few if any of them have made even the slightest effort to disguise these vile feelings about Trump and his decision to run.

We know that the ultra left - the obamas and clintons of the world - would have vilified any person who ran against their annointed candidate.  As far as they are concerned, the Democratic Primary Process is the beat all and end all of all that is politically important.  The winner of that process is the president and shut up already if you don't agree.  It was bad enough when they had to contend with a pussy cat like Mitt Romney.  You knew that if they could vilify a meek soul like Romney, they would just annihilate Trump, or, at the least, do everything in their power, legal and (mostly) illegal, the law and justice be dammed.  And they certainly have.  Every single day is more anti-Trump rhetoric, more anti-Trump libel and slander.  You and I know that all sorts of really and actually vile folk - Jeffrey Dahmer, Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, the Uni-bomber, etc. etc. - were not treated half as badly as the ultra left has treated Trump.  Why do they do this?  Because Trump had the unmitigated gall to run for President against their anointed Queen, Hillary R. Clinton.

Now, the election is days away and Trump has again pulled even in the polls.  The livid look of every leftist you know is no disguise.  In this season of disguises, the Ultra Left are going to the party dressed as themselves.

For the Left, Trump is their worst nightmare because he has skin made of solid steel.  Nothing the Left says gets under that skin.  They belittle and besmirch, and he just fires back.  In fact, sometimes he seems to be firing back before he is even hit with a leftist barb.  Instead of waltzing to the January Coronation, Queen Hillary is tired out and beaten up, and completely worn down and worn out.  She can't get up the first flight of stares, even with help. 

What's even worse for the Queen are these Wikileaks.  The Ultra Left, or at least many of them, wanted to ignore them.  The Ultra Leftists posing as journalists would just ignore them.  What was to worry about?

What was to worry about?  Here is the roll call of things to worry about:  Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin and his TV show, Levin and his Conservative Review, and that damn Michael Savage.  They, and the few like them, are absolutely relentless.  Every single day they pound away.  Every minute of every day.  24/7 and 365.  Wiki this and Wiki that.  America began to get it.  The Wikileaks are emails sent to and written by John Podesta, Hillary's campaign manager.  They were written with absolute candor, and they were written because, and only because, they would not see the light of day.  Podesta could admit to a friend that Hillary has no common sense.  Another inside Hillary functionary who had the misfortune of getting into a spat with Chelsea Clinton could admit, after it was over, that when it came to honesty and integrity, the Chelsea Apple did not fall far from the Mom Hillary Tree.  No it did not.

Podesta could plan how to control so called National Opinion Polls that everybody always suspected were slanted towards favoring Hillary.  The stinking connection between the State Department under Secretary Hillary and the Clinton Foundation could be laid bare.  The stinking connection between the White House, the Department of Justice and the Clintons could be chatted about with impunity.  Bill Clinton's dalliances and his influence over his former appointee at the DOJ could be giggled about.

The giggling and chuckles and laughs all ended when Wikileaks rolled out.  Would America understand what they were in time to save the nation from this corruption?   

More and more, it looks like the nation's voters are understanding.  The latest round of polls show Trump surging. 

Wikileaks: Democrats Rigged Poll Results to Show Hillary Ahead

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Monday, October 24, 2016 - Wikileaks emails released Sunday and today give firm indication that the Democrats and its command group, the DNC, tried to control most every national poll, so that they might get results favorable to Hillary Clinton even when she has not earned such results.

The Democrats gave the various polling groups a 37-page handbook containing instructions for polling companies to use to coax favorable results from polling data.  It is chilling.  Knowing that these results are fully slanted and not even remotely true, the results were nonetheless released and printed as factual and trustworthy results and, thus, newsworthy.

A leading violator of ethical polling was the Reuters/IPSOS polls, which vastly over-sampled Democrats in order to show Hillary leading a recent poll, the Gateway Pundit reported.

Clinton Foundation Employed Official From Muslim Brotherhood; No. 1 Maryland Beats Back Hofstra to Improve to 13-0-2

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Saturday, October 22, 2016 - I am beginning to think that this kind of stuff is all over the place if only I, and others interested in truth, would take the time to look around for it.  At Powerline Blog they report that a top functionary of the terrorist-infused "Muslim Brotherhood," worked for the Clinton Foundation until very recently. This is siimply incredible.  Simply incredible.  

Hillary and her functionaries barely make an effort to disguise this particular kind of debauchery.  And it is much worse than it appears on the surface.  This is about the tenth different revelation that would have caused a normal candidate to resign as a candidate for President.  But like so many other revelations and facts about Hillary Clinton, this one will not cause so much as a hiccup. 

Paul Mirengoff of Powerline reports in a post dated October 21 that "Gehad El-Haddad, the now-imprisoned former spokesman for the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood’s “Freedom and Justice Party,” was paid by the Clinton Foundation even as he promoted the Brotherhood’s interests as a[n] adviser to Egypt’s Mohamed Morsi. So reports Patrick Poole at PJ Media.

Poole calls Gehad “the Baghdad Bob of the Arab Spring.” According to Poole, while serving Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood government, Gehad incited violence, justified the torture of protesters, recycled fake news stories, and staged fake scenes of confrontation during the 2013 Rabaa protests.

Poole relies in part on Gehad’s Linkedin page, in which he refers to himself as “Senior Adviser & Media Spokesperson at Muslim Brotherhood.” For “Current” he states:

Muslim Brotherhood, Renaissance Project, Freedom and Justice Party.

For “Previous” he states:

William J. Clinton Foundation, Qabila, Industrial Modernization Center.

Further down the page, where he describes his time with the Clinton Foundation, he states that he worked for the Foundation from August 2007 – August 2012. Morsi came to power in the last month or two of this period.

Before Morsi came to power, Gehad served as his campaign spokesman. He was on the Clinton Foundation’s payroll throughout this time and during a longer period during which, says Poole, he held various posts with the Brotherhood. Thus, as Poole puts it, “the Clinton Foundation subsidized one of the senior Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood officials in his rapid rise to power.”

Once Morsi came to power, Gehad became an apologist for the Muslim Brotherhood’s attacks on the judiciary and the police. Poole presents some of Gehad’s apologist tweets."

You can't make stuff like this up.  Perhaps you are a Clinton apologist and think, well, he only worked for the foundation, thank heavan, and not the State Department.  You would be most wrong.  As Wikileaks has proven, there is no line or barrier of any kind between the foundaation and the government State Department.  Many top officials picked up whatever phone was handy.  It is corruption at its most horrendous.  Hillary needs desperately to be in jail.

Sports: No. 1 Maryland Beats Back Determined Hofstra Side, 2-1, to Improve to 13-0-2; Senior Defender Alex Crognale scored two first-half goals, and Maryland survived their own stunning missed shot, followed closely by a late Hofstra score to defeat the Dutchmen, 2-1, Friday night in College Park.

Crognale opened the scoring in the fifth minute.  Gordon Wild's shot in the penalty box was saved, but not controlled by Hofstra's starting keeper, Leo Arkhanhelskyi.  Wild got to the loose ball and passed to Crognale for the relatively easy score.  About fifteen minutes later, Crognale struck again.  Amar Sejdic's free kick from just outside the Dutchmen's box came to Crognale, who shot back at the far post.  It was Crognale's sixth goal of the season.  Sejdic, who earned as assist, now leads the Big Ten with eight.

Hofstra played a solid second half but could not break through the Maryland defense in time to give themselves a chance to win.  When the Dutchmen finally did score there was only about six minutes left and no serious chances to even the score on the board followed.  Just before Hofstra scored, Sebastian Elney broke through the Hofstra defense during a lightning quick Maryland Counter-Attack, then faked out the Dutchmen's English-born Keeper, Alex Ashton, who entered the match at halftime.  But Elney's shot at the empty net banged hard off post to his right and bounced away.  Elney wrapped his arms around his head in disbelief and the crowd of just under 3,000 literally gasped.  Minutes later, Hofstra was on the board.  But the veteran and top ranked Terps gathered in front of their goal after the score, and they kept Hofstra from getting even one shot in the remaining minutes.

Maryland ends its regular season schedule this week.  Tuesday night they host Delaware, which beat Maryland in College Park last season.  Then, on Sunday, Maryland travels to Michigan in a game to be televised by BTN.

Maryland Again Ranked No. 1 in latest Division I Poll; Terps Receive 23 of 24 First Place Votes.

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Thursday, October 20, 2016 - Maryland received 23 of 24 first place votes in the latest college soccer rankings released by the National Soccer Coaches Athletic Association.  The Terps, 12 wins, 0 defeats and 2 draws, have a whopping 9 point lead in the Big Ten soccer race, and Maryland has already clinched first place and a number one seed in the conference tournament.  Maryland has 19 points in the Big Ten, where their conference record stands at 6 wins, 0 defeats and 1 draw.  Indiana, Michigan State and Wisconsin are all tied for second with ten points.  Amazingly, Indiana, ranked No. 7 in the NSCAA poll, has a Big Ten mark of 2 wins, 0 defeats and 4 draws.  Maryland played Indiana (8-1-5 overall) in Bloomington, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw.  Michigan State, ranked No. 20 in the poll, also has ten points.  The Spartans are 3-2-1 in the Big Ten and 10-3-1 overall.  Wisconsin is the third team in the second place Big Ten tie.  The Badgers are unranked and received only 3 points in the latest NSCAA poll.  By comparison, Radford University is ranked no. 25 in this poll, with 70 points.  Yet, just six days ago Wisconsin held a one goal lead at No. 1 Maryland with under three minutes to play.  Then, the Terps scored a goal to send the match into overtime, then struck again in the opening minutes of the first extra frame to claim the win.

Notre Dame received the only other first place vote, even though the Irish have been defeated twice.  They are ranked at No. 4.  Wake Forest is No. 2 in the poll and North Carolina is No. 3.

Maryland hosts Hofstra on Friday night in College Park.  The match is set for a 7:30 pm start.  The Terps then close out the home portion of the regular season schedule on Tuesday night at 7 pm against Delaware, a team that beat them last season at the same venue, in case anybody in College Park has forgotten.  The last regular season match - which is also the last Big Ten Match - is a week from Sunday, October 30, at Michigan.  The kickoff in Ann Arbor is set for 1 pm and will be carried live on the Big Ten Network.  The two upcoming home games are set to be televised on BTN Plus.

Thursday Update: The Final Debate: Did Hillary Give Notice of A New Federal Cash Benefit, In Which Fully Employed but "Poorer" Persons Will Get Government Checks to Enhance Their Lifestyle? Did Trump Put Wikileaks in Play in the Minds of American Voters?

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Wednesday, October 19 and Thursday, October 20, 2016 - Hillary Clinton has learned, through the years, to speak at length on all matter of subjects so that she doesn't have to discuss her many illegal and immoral activities, activities and deeds which, if the American Voters learned about them, would certainly cost her the election.  For instance: during tonight's final Presidential Debate in Las Vegas, Hillary bragged that the Clinton Foundation gives 90% of all money it takes in to the charities it says it supports. 

Folks, this just is not true, except, perhaps, in the last year or so, when the public began scrutinizing the goings-on there and 'Hill and Bill' knew they had to get their books in order.  Prior to this, the Clintons used these international contributions - which the nations and persons who made them believed would be purchasing influence in the forthcoming Clinton Administration - to support the opulent, indeed lavish and even garrish lifestyle the Clintons enjoy, or, as many said, flaunted.   As they say, 'you can look it up.'  

The mainstream media reports that Hillary gets her hair salon treatments at the extremely upscale Bergdorf Goodman, located on the south side of Central Park in Manhattan.  The reports emphasize - as if this is a good thing - that each time Hillary drops in, her hairstyle costs ten thousand dollars.  She didn't pay for that kind of nonsense on a government salary. No she did not.

Hillary was asked during the debate about taking money - contributions, she called them - from nations that regularly murder gay folk and torment LGBT folk.  But she squirmed, like a snake, and got out of answering that question.  Another question she slithered away from was the one about her enabling of her husband's full blown lecherous lifestyle.  It is said he has had over one hundred such trysts. She is the enabler for his catting around.  She knows it.  She hopes you don't.  And as long as most Americans aren't forced to confront this stuff, it won't stand in the way of both of them stumbling and bumbling their way back to the abode on Pennsylvania Avenue come January.

Near the end of the debate, Hillary let slip something that I fear went right over everybody's head.  She said she wanted to begin to pay Federal benefits to "poorer" employed persons.  Already, the United States is some $20 Trillion in debt, and the debt is getting very much bigger on a daily basis.  Now, the United States is going to have to pay more Billions of Dollars to an entire new class of societal victims: people who are, in fact, gainfully employed but who are not making whatever amount Hillary and her functionaries think is appropriate.  If their wage isn't what Hillary and friends (friends?) think is "fair," out comes Uncle Sam's well-worn check book and off goes another fat check to a 'deserving' USA citizen.  How many millions of Americans will qualify to receive this fair and wonderfully deserving benefit.   What will the federal debt be, say, about two years down wind from enactment of this new expedition into federal welfare?  Chris Wallace and Trump did not pick this up.  Did Hillary say this inadvertently or was it a planned utterance? It would be hard for me to believe this was said by mistake. Instead, I think she was giving an off-the-cuff announcement of this brand new benefit she has planned, a benefit for a whole new class of folk who will be getting regular checks from Uncle Sam; i.e., your wallet. It will certainly require an infusion of tax dollars to underwrite such a new benefit.  It will be met with joy by those who will get the money, and, if she is elected, groans and resignation by the rest of us who will get stuck with the bill for her generosity.  I sure hope I heard this wrong.                     

Throughout this debate, Hillary avoided speaking substantively about the revelations in the Wikileaks.  Those revelations show the DNC and her campaign "team" to be nothing more than a bunch of white-collar thugs, snarks and fascists. And that is putting it mildly.  But Trump, for reasons he has to live with, hardly brought it up.  Once or twice in passing he said the words, but he never told listeners what the leaks are and, more importantly, what they reveal about Hillary.

Millions of Americans have no idea what Wikileaks are because the mainstream media, existing, as they clearly do, in Hillary's pocket, are not reporting on, much less explaining, these stunning factual revelations at all, except in passing reference.  Chris Wallace asked a question based on one of the Wikileaks, but other than saying it was contained in the Wikileaks, that is all he did.

Wallace, incidentally, was by far the best and most fair of  the moderators.  But you understand that this is damning him with the faintest of praises.  The other moderators for these Presidential "debates," were little more than teammates of Hillary.  We still have no explanation for Lester Holt's "wiring," caught in photographs even though Holt and NBC agreed not to wear such electronic devices.  Nor do we have comments on the apparent signalling that was going on between Hillary and her friend Holt.  When these people begin to come up with this stuff, does their conscience ever bother them just a little bit?  And why is our society so weak that an investigation into such documented rules violations is neither pursued or contemplated.
  Then there is the Middle East, which is a totaldisgrace for the Obama Administration.  When Obama took office eight years ago, Russia was not even a player in the Middle East.  Now, as Trump explained last night, Russia is the top player in all things spinning out of the various conflicts there.  Meanwhile, as Trump charged, the USA has meekly accepted Russia's new domination while getting out-smarted and out-maneuvered at every turn by Moscow.

Hillary voted for the Iraq invasion, as did virtually every other Democrat in the Congress, but you'd never have known that if you watched and listened to this final debate.

After the Democrats joined in the authorization of the Iraq war - remember, this was in the immediate aftermath of the horrific 9-11-2001 Islamic Terrorist Attack - the Democrats, including Hillary, got together and decided the war was going poorly.  Suddenly, a war they supported seemed like a bad idea.  Being the patriots and American Heroes these folk want you to believe they are, these Congressional Leftists came up with the really sinister idea of claiming they had been misled by President Bush about the existence of weapons of mass destruction that Saddam Hussein had squirreled-away in Iraq. This is where they came up with the line, "Bush lied and people died." At the very same moment, every Democrat in congress was marching in front of the eager media cameras to bludgeon the Bush administration about the fighting in Iraq. It was an ugly ugly period.  In the end, President Bush saved the day in Iraq by first capturing Saddam Hussein, then holding free elections in Iraq, and, finally, undertaking the take and hold military strategy that Bush and his allies called the "Surge."  It was the wonderfully successful Surge that made it finally possible for the USA to declare final victory in Iraq. It was during the surge that Iraqi cities such as Mosul were captured and occupied by American GI's. Nevertheless, the constant griping about the Iraq War undertaken by Congressional Democrats made it imperative for Obama - at least in his own ultra far left mind - to pull out of Iraq when he came to power in These United States.  Had he not been an ultra-far-left ideologue, he would've at least left a strong enough American troop contingent - say about 10,000 American Troops -in residence in Iraq so that evil forces did not flow into Iraq to fill the void that was predictably created when the USA, per Obama and Hillary's direction, cut and left town.  The American practice and tradition through the years has been to leave at least a representative contingent of troops in place, so that nations that were the scene of fighting do not then become the scene of profound evil.  Without the American troops that Hillary and Obama pulled out of Iraq (not a single American GI was left behind beyond the handful left to guard the American Embassy), ISIS slithered in and filled the void left behind. Without American troops on scene, literally tens of thousands of human beings have been killed in the inevitable ISIS-led carnage.  Tens of thousands more human beings will still die, beginning right now in Mosul, where the Kurds and some new Iraqi troops are trying to oust ISIS. One of Trumps' certain victories in the debate Wednesday night was when he scolded Obama and Hillary for their absurd, really feckless practice of making public announcements about upcoming troop movements and war strategy.  As Trump pointed out, ISIS leaders knew three months ago that USA client soldiers, backed by USA air power, will attempt to drive ISIS out of Mosul.   Such advance notice, Trump pointed out, provided top ISIS leaders plenty of advance notice to get out of Mosul before the fighting started, lest they become prisoners of war. 

Of course, where would Obama send any prisoners?  Our facility for holding such scum is being closed by Obama.  You know which facility I speak of: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.  All of the prisoners there - those fine human beings who killed and maimed many many American troops - have been freed by Obama.  

I would dearly love for Hillary Clinton to prove me wrong about what I say about her.  It is deeply hurtful to me, and, I gather, tens of millions of other American Citizens, to have to contemplate even the possibility that she could be elected President.  I have prayed that America be spared such a possibility.  

I would love for Hillary to explain how it was a good idea for her to enable a deal that provided Russia with enough Uranium to wipe the United States and all the rest of the Western World off of the map and out of existence.  I would love for her to explain how she can ethically and morally give speeches to white-collar rich folk saying she wants the United States-Mexican border to be a thing of the past.  She doesn't want a real border between the two nations.  But now, a few months the speeches to wealthy Wall Street and Banking conglomerates, with the scene now being the autumn presidential campaign, she addresses the voting public like she is the ultimate military war hawk.   Of course, Hillary didn't think, when talking to the rich folk, that Wikileaks would get a copy of the transcript and leak it out to the public. Now, her staffs on the respective Democratic Newspapers have to work extra hard to make sure no word about the Wikileaks gets to the public.  She has even managed to have the Ecuadorians shut off internet access to Julian Assange, the Wikileaks mover and shaker who is staying in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London less he be locked up by English Authorities in connection with his alleged involvement in this or that.   It is Assange who has the Wikileaks material on Hillary, and is releasing it in batches every day up until election day in These United States.  Unless the public becomes animated by what they heard last night, it is likely that most of them will go to the polls absent an understanding of the filthy, conniving, debauched, and - were there any real legal body willing to enforce federal law - criminal acts that Hillary has engaged in.  The Wikileaks material provides amazing detail of those awful activities.  Hillary wants that material buried or destroyed.  She wants that in the worst possible way.  She will get her way unless the Wikileaks are expounded on in public.

Hillary says in the debate that all of her new social spending proposals will not add to the national debt.  She says she will tax the wealthy to collect enough money to pay for it all.

Anyone with even half of a brain knows that is false and really nonsensical.  There are not enough rich people on the face of the entire earth to pay for Hillary's wild-eyed spending plans, including the many started by Obama that she says she intends to continue and, in most cases, increase or enhance.  Hillary will continue Obama's tact of slicing the military deeper than the bone.  The Navy already looks like a joke. Beyond the military, Hillary will then come up with some Obamaesque way of raising taxes on the middle class - can you say 'Obamacare?' - because that is all that will be left for a Hillary regime to squeeze money from.  

In the debate Wednesday Night, Hillary said "I want to enhance benefits for our poorest workers." 

Huh?

We are going to pay benefits; i.e., cash, to Americans who are fully employed but not making a wage or salary that is high enough to support a cushy-enough lifestyle to satisfy Hillary and friends.   

Benefits for people who are fully employed?  I think a program that pays money to people already working just to enhance their lifestyle is Marxist by definition, but what do I know?

I can report today that I have not listened to any post-debate chatter, but I don't think Trump performed as well as he is capable of.  I cannot believe that he didn't come loaded for bear over the Wikileaks and the James O'Keefe revelations about who started the violence at the Trump rallies over the summer.  For several months, every major well-attended Trump campaign rally featured protesters outside who just managed to get people trying to attend the rally to get into a fist fight, which the media breathlessly reported. These resulting media reports all gave the impression that Trump supporters were all redneck brawlers itching for a confrontation.  The Wikileaks revelations prove, conclusively, that Hillary, Obama, and their confederates were intentionally seeding those protesters with people trained in starting a brawl.  They even had people expert in getting female Trump supporters to start swinging.  

If there was any ethics left in the mainstream media, you wouldn't be reading about the Wikileaks here.  You'd know from media reports that Hillary et al are at the heart of every brawl, every filthy dirty trick, every bold-faced sign laced with profanity.  But you don't see any media reports about these revelations.  The media knows if they covered the Wikileaks, Trump would surely be the next President.

This is shameful.  This is terrible.  This is un-American in every possible way.

At the debate, Trump should've described and embellished the Wikileaks story until he was blue in the face.  You should be falling asleep at night to the sound of Trump screaming "Go Read the Wikileaks Stuff. 

Instead, I fell asleep knowing at the very least that I'd have to listen to three more weeks of ultra left trash extolling the attributes of Hillary Clinton.  I know any listing of her attributes has to be so short that it would be over in half a second.  But then they are repeated and repeated.  

The whole thing is one great long nightmare.                      

No. 1 Maryland Shuts Down West Virginia, 1-0, on Sejdic's 5th Goal of Season; Niedermeier Records Career-High 8 Saves for Maryland, 10-0-2

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Tuesday, October 11, 2016 - Amar Sejdic scored with 25:05 gone in the first half, and No. 1 Maryland made it stand up in a 1-0 victory at No. 22 West Virginia on Monday night.  Over 2,000 fans watched as Maryland Keeper Cody Niedermeier made a career-high 8 saves for the unbeaten Terrapins, who improved to 10-0-2 overall.  

The lone score of the match came when Mid-Fielder Jake Rozhansky passed to Sejdic, who scored his fifth goal of the campaign.  West Virginia out-shot the Terps, 15-8, including 8-3 in the second half.  Ironically, the Terps had 7 corner kicks to only one for the Mountaineers, who fell to 6-4-1 on the season.  West Virginia played the game as if their chances for post-season play hinged on the outcome.  The Mountaineers used only three substitutes, and every starter played at least 71 minutes. Maryland used 6 subs.

The Terps next play on Friday Night in College Park against Wisconsin.  The Badgers are currently tied for second place with Michigan State.  Each has 10 points, compared to 16 for the Terps.  Maryland lists Friday's game at 7 pm while the Big Ten says it will start at 4 pm.

Ryan Aide May Have Leaked Video; New York Times Accepted Planted Story From Clinton Campaign, Wikileaks Email Suggests

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Tuesday, October 11, 2016 - An aide to House Speaker Paul Ryan may be the person who leaked the tape of Trump's bar room or locker room video to NBC, while other evidence suggests that NBC held the video through a hotly contested GOP Primary season in order to benefit Hilary Clinton in the November General Election.  Meanwhile, other evidence suggests that more than Debbie Blabbermouth Shultz at the DNC was working with the Clinton campaign to derail Bernie Sanders, and a number of mainstream media members also worked directly with the Felonious Hillary campaign to defeat Sanders.  Talk about some disgusting people!

Gateway Pundit and other sources report Tuesday Morning that Dan Senor, a former spokesperson for President Bush and current aide to Ryan leaked the tape to NBC.  Corroborating the rumor, according to Gateway Pundit, is the fact that Ryan went out of his way to steal the narrative away from Trump after Trump's booming debate win Sunday night.  Everything happened a little too quickly for most people, the GP suggests.  Several Senor weekend messages are quoted.

If it is true, look for Ryan to resign his House Post whether or not Trump prevails in November.  He should.  Meanwhile, the Gateway Pundit, quoting leaked emails via Wikileaks, also reported that Donna Brazile worked directly with Hillary and her campaign functionaries to defeat Sanders.  The same sources said that mainstream media types ejected any pretense of objectivity to help Hillary defeat Sanders.  You'll get slimey real fast digesting this stuff.  GP goes on to report that Hillary and friends planted a story in the New York Times.  According to the Pundit, a March story in the Times by reporter Patrick Healy, which quoted Laura Donohoe, a retired nurse and Clinton supporter, is the article discussed in the leaked emails.  The Pundit predicts the mainstream media will avoid reporting this bombshell revelation like it is the plague.

The Democrats and Donald Trump and his supporters both stood fast Monday on their respective versions of the Sunday Night debate.  Hillary Clinton claimed that her "good friend" Michele Obama told her to always take the high road when the opponent takes the low road.  But anybody paying even marginal attention would realize that Hillary has no idea where the high road is.  They also know that the low road has her name on it, inscribed in very permanent ink.  Gateway Pundit reports that Michele Obama worked hard to defeat Clinton and thinks little of her.

One GOP observer noted today the absolute hypocrisy involved when Hillary urged viewers to race to her web site's fact checker to learn the real truth of what was said on Sunday night.  If you fall for that, no amount of remedial help will save you.  No one lies like Hillary, and she does it so often that one wonders if she knows exactly how often she is involved in untruths.  

One favorite recalled by many on Monday was when she tried to explain one of the remarks credited to her in a late Wikileaks dump.  She was quoted there as saying she often has a public stand on an issues and a private and 'real' stand.  Sunday night, she credited Abe Lincoln for that.  But Donald Trump pointed out that "Honest Abe" never lied while Hillary doesn't know how to stop.  Anyone who thinks she got that idea from President Lincoln is also beyond hope.

One point made by many observers on Monday was how uncomfortable Hillary became when Trump dealt with the issue of the old video and began hitting back at Hillary, leaving no holds barred.  It was a sight to behold.  The consummate liar left in a hole with nothing but really pathetic lies - like the one about Lincoln - left to grab onto.  She also lost her composure and command when Trump brought up the special prosecutor, the one that was going to put her in jail.   

Monday Update: Trump Shines in Second Debate

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Sunday, October 9,  and Monday, October 10, 2016 - In the aftermath of an ugly - but purely Clintonesque - release of a decade-old video showing Donald Trump engaging in rank bar room chatter, the GOP candidate for President tonight came out swinging in Sunday Night's second Presidential Debate, and then kept swinging for over 90 minutes in spite of a concerted effort by his allied opponents, Hillary Clinton and two purely pro-Clinton reps from the mainstream media, to trip him up.  Trump pushed back with vigor at an early pile on concerning the video release.  At one point, ABC rep Martha Radetz interrupted Trump and demanded he respond to her precise inquiry. The media intends to keep the Trump video on America's front pages for as long as possible in an effort to prevent Trump from focusing on Clinton's endless array of lies, fraudulent money-grabs and boneheaded policy miscalculations.  The Democratic-Media Alliance also wants to distract Americans from the impending release of material by Wikileaks.  Already, Wikileaks has posted excerpts from Hilary's speeches to Wall Street Bankers.  Clinton has refused to release transcripts of those speeches, but tonight seemed to confirm that the material posted by Wikileaks is accurate.  Shortly after the debate, the group known as 'Democrats for Trump' wrote on Twitter: "Hillary blames Wikileaks on Russia, Her emails on Colin Powell, Benghazi on a YouTube video, And now her Wall St. speech on Abe Lincoln. #Debate

The high point for Trump was his impassioned attack on both Clinton and the media concerning the year-long investigation of Hillary and her activities by the FBI, an investigation that ended with the FBI Director lambasting Clinton for her wreckless behavior, but not asking that she be indicted.  Trump blasted the media reps for refusing to ask questions about the FBI probe despite its importance to the American people.  He promised that if he becomes President, the probe will be reopened, at which point Hillary will end up in jail.  During one exchange, he characterized the debate as a three on one proposition.

Another highlight was when Hillary tried to say she was an honest and trustworthy person.  A large number of audience members screamed derisively, prompting media rep Anderson Cooper of CNN to demand they be quiet.

Trump also scored often in a long discussion of the highly criticized Obamacare Health Care plan.  Hillary conceded the plan needed to be changed because it was too costly for many Americans.  Trump insisted that only a complete repeal would save America from the ravages of a plan that is socialist from the gitgo.  Trump chided Clinton, saying that if it were up to her, Obamacare would stay in place and American Taxpayers would pay through the nose, as is already happening in many parts of the USA,  

In the immediate aftermath of the debate, even Trump critics were conceding that he had improved dramatically over his earlier debate performance.  Others saw the Trump performance tightening the close race even further.  

One is encouraged to go to the Powerline Blog for their excellant coverage.  One highlight: John Hinderaker's excellant analysis of a biased report by the AP on Trump's mentioning of Bill Clinton's rape of Juanita Broderick (Clinton denies it).  See: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2016/10/the-associated-press-spins-for-hillary.php

Mainstream Media Wallows in the Clinton Muck.....Again

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Saturday, October 8, 2016 - The second debate between Donald Trump and Hillary "The Felon" Clinton is on tap for Sunday night "on most of these same networks."  The mainstream media is going bonkers on a video that has - and who would believe this? - surfaced as a kind of October Surprise.  The video is said to depict Trump engaged in some rank bar room chat about what his hormones are urging him to do with certain women.

Now we should make perfectly clear that Trump never actually engaged in this behavior, as opposed to, say, Bill Clinton, who backs up his course conversation with real deeds, like rape, groping, sexual molestation, etc.  But those silly lads in the mainstream media; i.e., Hillary's lap dogs, well, they are only following orders in making a big deal about  Trump's words while doing their best to squelch any mention of Clinton's deeds.  I mean, Trump's words are all over th front page of Saturday's New York Times.  Meanwhile, readers wait with baited breath for the very first mention of Hillary's sale of atomic bomb material to Vlad Putin, or Hillary's blatant violation of the espionage laws while serving as Secretary of State, or this, or that and so on and so forth.

One of the mainstream wags today speculated that Hillary will show a "softer side" in the Sunday debate.  It would take a brown-nosing flack for a real crook to make a ridiculous statement like that.  I know, I know, this is what the "reporter" was told to write, and so they were only following orders, but come on, lads, if they told you to write that Hillary had just won the Miss Universe Pageant, would you write that, too?

This person, this Hillary, has nothing that even resembles a softer side.  Her ""soft" side resembles a wet Brillo Pad soaked, then rolled in course sand, if you take my meaning.  This is a course, mean, harsh, reactionary women, devoid of good sense, common sense, or any sense.  This is a woman who'd throw her daughter under the bus if it would get her a few more votes.

Emails are emerging that will show just how far she will go to get money, get power, get votes.  These are the Wikileaks emails, and probably some other emails that are surfacing now that the holders feel like they can get a bit, if only a bit, of political cover.

Mr. Trump is no bargain, I will grant you that.  Generally, most of us would not talk like he talked in this latest video.  And for certain, we would not mouth off if there were people around we did not know or trust.  But what do we know?  Well, a few things.  We know we wouldn't get caught dead voting for someone as low on the decency meter as Ms. Clinton.

The mainstream media is so in the tank for such a low-life that they have ignored the release of Ed Klein's book.  I've started reading it.  Anybody still planning to vote for Hillary should read it.  If you can't read it, you have to be right there on the decency meter with Ms. Clinton. 

Democratic Smear Campaign in Overdrive; Orioles to Face Blue Jays in Toronto in AL Wild Card; Raiders Edge Ravens in Error Festival at Camden Yards; No. 1 Maryland Routs Northwestern, 4-0, then Stop San Diego, 2-0; Burnley Hosed By Officials, Giving Arsenal a Victory That Wasn't Really a Victory At All

BALTIMORE, Maryland, Tuesday, October 4, 2016 - Same as it always is: When the Ultra Far Left Feels it is in trouble around election time, like this moment in the 2016 Presidential Campaign, it attacks, viciously, very viciously, and these animals don't let up for anyone or anything.  It is almost primordial in nature.  If you think about it too much it gets scary.  And yet, there are millions of Americans who can justify giving this woman power.  Lots of power.  Ultimate power.

Then there is this article at a Web Address known as 'Truthfeed.' The headline is theirs. 

8 ACTUAL HILLARY QUOTES THAT REVEAL HOW EVIL AND PSYCHOTIC SHE TRULY IS POLITICS BY TRUTHFEEDNEWS JUNE 24, 2016

Hillary’s actual words, with source information by Christina Plantz‎

1) “Where is the God damn flag? I want the God damn fu__ing flag up every morning at fu__ing sunrise”. Hillary to staff at the Arkansas Governor’s mansion on Labor Day 1991. From the book “Inside the White House” by Ronald Kessler, p. 244

(2) “Fu__ off! It’s enough I have to see you s__t-kickers every day! I’m not going to talk to you, too! Just do your Goddamn job and keep your mouth shut.” Hillary to her State Trooper bodyguards after one of them greeted her with “Good Morning.” From the book “America Evita” by Christopher Anderson, p.90

(3) “If you want to remain on this detail, get your fu__ing ass over here and grab those bags!” Hillary to a Secret Service Agent who was reluctant to carry her luggage because he wanted to keep his hands free in case of an incident. From the book “The First Partner” p. 25

(4) “Stay the fu__ back, stay the fu__ back away from me! Don’t come within ten yards of me, or else! Just fu__ing do as I say, Okay!!?” Hillary screaming at her Secret Service detail. From the book “Unlimited Access” by Clinton ‘s FBI Agent-in-Charge, Gary Aldridge, p.139

(5) “Where’s the miserable co__- sucker?” (otherwise known as “Bill Clinton”) Hillary shouting at a Secret Service officer. From the book “The Truth about Hillary” by Edward Klein, p. 5

(6) “You fu__ing idiot” Hillary to a State Trooper who was driving her to an event. From the book “Crossfire” ~pg. 84

(7) “Put this on the ground! I left my sunglasses in the limo. I need those fu__ing sunglasses! We need to go back!” Hillary to Marine One helicopter pilot to turn back while in route to Air Force One. From the book ” Dereliction of Duty” p. 71-72

(8) “Come on Bill, put your d__k up! You can’t fu__ her here!!” Hillary to Gov. Bill Clinton when she spots him talking with an attractive female. From the book “Inside the White House” by Ronald Kessler, p. 243.  There it is ……..book, chapter and page…….the real Hillary Rotten Clinton!  Additionally, when she walked around the White House, NO ONE was permitted to look her in the eye, they all had to lower their heads with their eyes towards the ground whenever she walked by. Clearly she is a class act!

This ill-tempered, violent, loud-mouth, hateful and abusive woman wants to be your next President, and have total control as Commander-in-Chief of our Military, the very Military for which she has shown incredible disdain throughout her public life.  Remember her most vile comment about Benghazi: “What difference at this point does it make?” Now it will be clear why the crew of “Marine One” helicopter nick-named the craft, “Broomstick ONE."

I cannot get around the fact that Americans, even Liberal Americans, want to give somebody like this power.  Right now, her power is limited to the point that she cannot exercise total power.  The quotes and behavior - and I've heard almost all of this stuff from other people as well - should scare anyone silly.  What do you suppose will happen when she gains almost ultimate power?  There is a radio commercial running on a local station in Baltimore in which the advertiser, almost always on the radio selling the seafood he is in business to sell, instead uses his time to talk about this election.  He asks the listeners: "How stupid can you get?"  You just cannot give power to someone with these issues and expect anything other than very bad things to happen.

There is increasing speculation and information that suggests an almost unbelievable conspiracy between Hillary and Lester Holt during the debate to control the entire conversation, pin Donald Trump against the wall and make Hillary look like a genius and a crack-debate specialist.  It is so evil it defies the imagination.  I am looking into this and will report more soon.


SPORTS: Orioles name Chris Tillman to face Blue Jays tonight in American League Wild Card Game in Toronto.  Chris Tillman is 16-6 and yet Oriole fans wondered, and more than a few hoped, that Buck Showalter would name Ubaldo Jimenez to face the Jays in the one game playoff "series."  After playing 162 games to make the playoffs (and the Orioles needed every one of them), the playoffs begin tonight and will end tonight for the loser of this single game.  Tillman had a great year but nursed a tired and hurting shoulder at the end.  Jimenez had a bad year, bad, that is, until the last month, when he suddenly regained his form and became all but un-hit-able.  I guess Buck gets paid to make these kind of decisions.

Ravens Lose Heart-Breaker to Raiders, 28-27.  The Ravens didn't score a TD until after halftime, and didn't take a lead until the final minutes.  But it was a scenario Baltimore fans were used to and to a man or woman in the stands, almost all of them expected the Ravens to pull this one out, also.  Forget the fact that the Ravens literally didn't lay a hand on Derek Carr at anytime during a long game.  Thus, when the Ravens did finally grab the lead with something over five minutes left, I had a bad feeling that there was way too much time left and that Carr would be able to pick the Ravens apart.  There was and he did.  Even with this, however, the Ravens still had over two minutes and two timeouts to mount a comeback.  They took over, as I recall, on their own 20 and within a play or two were at midfield.  On first down, Joe Flacco hit rookie Chris Moore about seven yards downfield.  Moore was wide open and would have put Justin Tucker well within his range for a game-winning field goal.  But Moore dropped the ball.  Two other pass attempts failed and it brought up a fourth down and ten yards to go at midfield.  Tucker was ready to give the long field goal a try and ran over to Harbaugh.  But Harbaugh elected to go for it, and a pass to Kamar Aiken near the Oakland 30 fell incomplete.  Aiken got his hands on the well thrown pass, but was hit extremely hard immediately and could not hold on.  Many fans, including this writer, who was at the game, were extremely disappointed that Tucker wasn't given a chance to win the game.  It would have been a 67 yard attempt, and his kickoffs were sailing into the stands on a day that had turned sunny, still and warm.  Also leaving a foul taste in the fans mouths - besides the obnoxious behavior of the Oakland fans who somehow got tickets to a sold out game - was Harbaugh's decision to go for two after the Ravens first score.  It was the third quarter when this happened, and the TD had brought the Ravens to within 14-12.  The Flacco pass for the conversion was some sort of fade rout and it fell incomplete.  When Oakland scored with under seven minutes left, their lead was 21-12.  But the Ravens rallied dramatically behind Flacco and Terrance West, who started in place of Justin Forsett.  West ran for 113 yards in his first Raven start.  It was announced moments before this post that Forsett is being released by the Ravens.  Flacco also played well, throwing for 298 yards without being intercepted, and this, despite being sacked and harassed throughout the game.

Maryland Routs Northwestern, Downs San Diego, to Improve to 8-0-2 and 4-0-1.  Amar Sejdic and D.J. Reeves scored for Maryland Monday night as the Terps won for the 8th time without a loss against the University of San Diego.  Just over two thousand fans saw the Terps shut down the Toreros.  It was Maryland's third straight shut-out win.  Reeves scored his first career goal in the 42nd minute.  Then, in the 69th minute, it was Reeves who was tripped in the penalty box, setting up Sejdic's penalty kick.  

On Friday night, the Terps broke away from a 1-0 halftime lead to rout Northwestern, 4-0.   Jake Rozhansky, Amar Sejdic, Gordon Wild and George Campbell all scored for the Terps.  Rozhansky put the Terps ahead in the 11th minute of the game.  Then, shortly after the half, both Wild and Sejdic scored to break the match wide open.  Campbell's goal came late, but was a fitting reward for the hard-working junior mid-fielder from Baltimore.  

The resolute Maryland defense completed its fourth shutout of the year against San Diego. The second, third and fourth shut-outs have come in the last three games.  Maryland hosts Ohio State on Friday Night in College Park.

The Referee Added Time After Time Expired, Ignored a Ball Hit Into Claret Goal With Arsenal Player's Hand, and Ignored Fact That Both Handball Violator and Player Who Passed Ball to Him Were Considerably Offsides - The London Telegraph has a wonderful photograph on Its Web Page that pretty much tells it all for embattled Burnley.  The Claret had played powerful Arsenal to a scoreless tie through both halves and through all of Injury Time.  No matter, the official simply added more time and allowed the Gunners - those cheeky lads - to take an undeserved corner kick.  The Telegraph describes the debacle like this: "In the second minute of injury time Alexis Sanchez’s cross was flicked to the back post by Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s connection struck his captain's hands before dribbling over the line."  The photo shows the handball brilliantly.  And you notice something else in the picture that wasn't lost on Burnley or the crowd at Turf Moor:  The two Arsenal players were the only ones deep in the Burnley box even though the advantage of the corner kick was long over.  In soccer parlance, Arsenal was considerably offsides.  Or is the adjective "massively?"  So you add hands plus way offside and you get a referee who is in dire need of an extended vacation.  And this is before you look into the added time.  Remember: no goal was scored by either team. There were no injuries requiring time. It had been announced that two minutes of injury time would be added.  Those two minutes were over when the corner kick was announced.  Long vacation? Maybe a vacation turned into retirement.
