TOWSON, Maryland Sunday, March 1, 2020 - My, how a day can change things. Going into Saturday, Democrats everywhere were hoping against hope that old Joe Biden would hang on to a shrinking lead in the polls and defeat the Communist, Bernie "Mao Tse" Sanders in South Carolina.
Well, guess what? Old Joe didn't merely hang on. He annihilated Sanders, giving hope to the American contingent that still exists among the donkeys that Communism will not completely swallow up the party of John Kennedy, FDR and Harry Truman.
When all was said in done there, in the Southern Carolinas last evening, Biden had over 48% of the votes cast and had collected 35 of the 54 delegates available. By contrast, the Communist and Anti-American, Sanders, ended up with a shade over 19% of the cast votes, good for a stunningly low (and unlucky) 13 delegates.
The other Democrats still in the race gathered the remaining votes, but none of them were awarded even a single delegate.
It stood to reason that, even in today's wacky and ill-informed America, there would be more than a little bit of "waking up" as primary elections and caucuses approached in the 50 states. Thousands of Americans have perished trying to prevent Communists from taking over in these United States and elsewhere in the Western World. That fact can still be like a bucket of ice cold water being thrown in your face when the cold hard reality of what you are about to do hits you in a voting booth.
Like thousands of Americans, I'm only too happy to vote for a candidate who has cogent ideas about improving the American Experience. But I will be damned if that willingness includes handing a key to the pantry to a candidate - like the old Communist Bernie Sanders - who wants to destroy all things American.
And that is EXACTLY what the old fool Sanders wants to do. When he takes to the stage and gets all red-faced, it's like he's back in his younger days, honeymooning in Moscow (he really did that, you know).
In the coming days, we Democrats will learn if sanity had merely a short reprieve on Saturday, or if the good guys are really still alive and kicking. Can't we do better than falling back on crossing the party line again and asking a Republican to save the nation?

Winners and Losers and Teams That Don't Deserve to Advance
TOWSON, Maryland Tuesday, February 24, 2020 - Let me get a few things out of the way. The best sports news of the past weekend was Burnley's 3-0 take down of Bournemouth. The match was on the losing side's pitch and, to be candid, Burnley's goal was never seriously threatened. The Claret, by the end of the weekend's play, was tied with Arsenal with 37 points, good for ninth place in the 20-team Premier League.
Burnley has now won four of its last five matches, a far cry from the woeful way Burnley started the campaign.
In Baseball, Maryland improved to 5-1 by taking two of three from Rhode Island over the past weekend. The very idea that the two teams played all three games outdoors in February with no postponements or delays should give anyone an idea of how the weather in these parts has changed. The Terps won, 9-3 on Friday and 3-0 on Sunday, but lost, 11-8, on Saturday afternoon.
Maryland was due to take on George Mason in College Park Tuesday afternoon, but the game, if not already called, almost certainly will be because of the steady all-day rain.
Maryland's basketball team fell a tad after losing to Ohio State on Sunday. They are now 8th in the AP and 9th in the coach's poll. The bloody. polls have gotten to be so ridiculous in their bias towards the big conferences. Michigan State is not very good this year, yet they are ranked 24th with a miserable 18-9 record. Teams like Northern Iowa (23-5), Stephen F. Austin (24-3), East Tennessee State (25-4) and St. Mary's (23-6) aren't ranked, even though many of the latter teams always seem to knock off some so-called big names in the NCAA tournament.
Some of the lads who vote in the poll can't let their college years go. They vote for teams that were good in past years, but not this year, while ignoring the St. Mary's of the world, who always win big games, always play fearlessly against big teams, and always get screwed by the people who pick the tournament teams and vote in the polls.
The depressing lot who pick the tournament teams will ignore St. Mary's but take eight or nine teams from the Big Ten or Southeastern Conference, even though most of those teams won't survive the first weekend.
Does a team that finishes sixth or below in their conference really deserve a tournament berth that they will not take advantage of at the expense of a second place team that has been winning at a breathtaking pace only to lose a conference tournament game that might keep them out of the NCAA for no good reason.
But Tom Izzo is such a good coach. Does keeping one of his worst teams in the past decade out of the NCAA take away from his legacy? It does not. But keeping kids who have achieved at a championship rate out of the NCAA so Izzo's legacy can be salved is obscene.

Terps' Baseball Sweeps 3 Opening Games in South Carolina; Now Returns Home For 3-Game Series With Rhode Island
TOWSON, Maryland Tuesday, February 18, 2020 - The Maryland Baseball Team opened its season by winning all three games during a weekend trip to Charleston, South Carolina.
Maryland crushed Charleston Southern on Friday night, 11-2. On a neutral field on Saturday morning, the Terps beat back Iona, 8-2. Then, on Sunday, Maryland staged a dramatic late rally to overcome a 2-0 ninth inning lead held by the home team, the College of Charleston. The dogged Terps tied the score with a two-run uprising in the ninth, then won the game in the tenth with two more runs. The final score was Maryland 4, College of Charleston 2.
In the Friday evening opener, Maryland's starting pitcher, Sean Fisher, threw five and one-third innings of two-hit baseball, even as his Terrapin mates were pushing across eleven runs on ten hits. Four different Terps drove in two runs apiece: Chris Alleyne, Troy Schreffler, Randy Bednar and Tommy Gardiner. Sam Bello relieved Fisher in the sixth inning and ended up throwing three and two-thirds innings of scoreless relief.
The Maryland offense did take some time to get started. When it did "get started," however, it really got started. Maryland's offensive box score looked like this: 2 runs in the 6th, 5 in the 7th and, just for good measure, 4 more in the 9th inning.
Tucker Flint had 3 hits for the Terps, while three other Maryland players had two hits apiece.
On Saturday morning, playing the Iona Gaels, Maryland's offense was able to remain in high gear. After falling behind Iona, 2-1, entering the third inning, Maryland exploded for 4 runs in their half of the fourth, and after that, they never looked back. When all was said and done, Maryland had defeated Iona, 8-2. Freshman Nick Dean started and pitched into the fifth inning, giving up six hits but only two earned runs. Dean was followed by Ryan Ramsey, who gave up only one hit and no runs in two and one-third innings of relief. In doing so, the Montvale, New Jersey freshman picked up his first career win. Ramsey was relieved by sophomore Sean Heine, who spun two shut out innings, but was not credited with a save since Maryland had pushed ahead by an 8-2 score by the time Heine entered the game.
On Sunday, the Terps were matched up against the home team, the College of Charleston, and for the longest time it looked like Maryland would be tagged with its first loss of the season. In fact, when Maryland came to bat in the top of the ninth, they behind the College of Charleston, 2-0.
Actually, Maryland had the southerners right where they wanted them. The Terps' Chris Alleyne, who had five hits in the three weekend games, started Maryland's comeback with a lead off single. Freshman Tucker Flint followed with a double, and Maryland then cut the home team's lead down to one run when Randy Bednar delivered a sacrifice fly.
Maryland then went to its bench, and the red shirt sophomore, Michael Pineiro, delivered in breath-taking fashion, laying down a clutch squeeze bunt that brought home the tying run.
The contest now moved into extra innings. And it was the visitors who came up big with the game on the line.
Junior pitcher Mark Diluia, who had entered the game in the eighth inning, stayed on to throw a scoreless ninth. In the top of the tenth inning the Terps jumped on the opportunity Diluia provided to them, striking for two more runs.
Junior Tommy Gardiner started the Maryland rally with a one out single. Pinch hitter Tavan Shahidi pushed Gardiner to second by drawing a walk. Austin Chavis came into the contest at this juncture to pinch run for Shahidi. In short order, both Gardiner and Chavis came around to score on a series of wild pitches.
Trevor Labonte pitched a scoreless and hitless bottom of the tenth inning, and it was Labonte who was credited with the clutch road victory.
Now officially off to a 3-0 start to the season, the Terps now return to the friendly confines of their College Park home field to host Rhode Island in a three game weekend series. The games will start even as a February Cold Front approaches Maryland.
Oh good!
Game time for the Friday series opener is 6 pm.

If You Dare To Be Conservative in San Francisco, Not Even Being a Baseball Star Will Spare You From Ridicule and Unwarranted Retribution
TOWSON, Maryland Tuesday, February 18, 2020 - Remember Aubrey Huff? He had several successful years playing major league baseball
for the Baltimore Orioles. He also played for quite a few other big league teams. He finally ended his career after the 2012 season.
He played his final three seasons with the San Francisco Giants.
You may even recall that the Giants won the 2010 World Series, and that Aubrey Huff was an instrumental part of that Giants' team.
In that campaign, the big man swatted some 26 home runs and drove home 96 runs. Huff added another home run and four more RBI's in the World Series against the Texas Rangers.
The Giants now are putting together a reunion of the 2010 World Series Team.
But guess what? Aubrey Huff has been informed that he will not be included in the festivities. Unless you live with your head in a bag, you've probably heard that the so-called City By The Bay is an abode of the very far left. But ole Aubrey Huff isn't a leftist. He probably has to strain a bit to be called a moderate. In reality, and like millions and millions of other Americans, including our elected President, Aubrey Huff is, well, a conservative. It isn't a crime. It isn't unusual. It is a very key component of the American Scene. In most of America, citizens wouldn't bat an eye if somebody were said to be a conservative. However, in far left San Francisco, Huff is making the big mistake of being an categorized as a conservative.
And because he is conservative, he can't be a Giant celebrant. His views, according to the San Francisco Giants, just don't fit in with the Giant Locker Room. This is what the San Francisco Giants the say.
Which is a lot of bunk. Back when the games counted, the bloody Giants couldn't have given a plug nickel about Huff's political views. The man could hit, especially in the clutch, and the Giants couldn't get enough of him. In point of fact, the Giants wouldn't have been in the bloody World Series were it not for Aubrey Huff.
Now, when Huff and many of the other 2010 Giants have ended their playing careers, the darn front office nerds want to make a lot of noise about Aubrey Huff's politics to the receptive minions in dear old far left San Francisco. Here is a point of fact the Giants and their genius front office is overlooking. Aubrey Huff never said if he was invited to be with his teammates he'd just have to drone on about his politics. Baseball is the kind of thing people indulge in to get away from politics. It is the Giants, not Huff, who are dragging politics into this. In doing so, they are absolutely discriminating against a man who has done nothing wrong. He helped the Giants win. Now, when everybody else on the 2010 team is reaping a little bit of the reward for winning, one man who played a huge role in the success of the team is getting screwed because he likes the President.
I'd say the Giants are hypocrites. In fact, I'm quite sure about it.

On MSNBC - With Few People Actually Watching - NBC Reporters Ask Questions in the Dark. And the Answers They Are Getting Do Not Make Them Happy
TOWSON, Maryland Saturday, February 15, 2020 - On good ole MSNBC the other day, ole Chuck Todd played the game that involves asking a question in a forest with one falling tree. Or something like that. What he wanted to know was how many people - reporters, candidates etc. - get sandbagged by what he called the Bernie Sanders' internet brown shirt brigade. Now grant you, ole Chuck isn't the first person to personally discover that Sanders actually has an online brown shirt brigade.
No one, least of all this pundit, actually questions whether Sanders actually has such an on-line fascist mob. He really does, and it is very alarming. Whenever somebody says something that angers ole Bernie, he gets the mob after them. They flood his web site or email address or any other identifiable location they can have at, with hundreds of nasty tweets or emails or whatever. The aim is to shut the person down. It is very unbecoming of a candidate in a Democratic Election, but of course, Sanders is neither in favor of a democracy or thinking like someone who wants to be involved in governing a democratic people. Bernie is a socialist and a Marxist, and he makes no bones about it. We - meaning the USA - fought a lot of wars to be rid of such folk, but now, all of a sudden, some Americans are embracing Sanders and his low brow political game.
On One American News the other day, their outstanding journalist, Alex Salvi, reported that President Trump set fundraising records in January. The same Mr. Salvi reported that Mr. Bloomberg was able to spend a lot of his own money, which he has tons of, but that it wasn't doing him a whole lot of good in the polls.
And he is right, at least so far. On MSNBC, one of their reporters approached a voter in New Hampshire, thinking that he was a Sanders voter. To her stunned surprise, he was, in fact, a Trump supporter, and he quickly explained why. It was a beautiful thing.
A very beautiful thing.
The Trump Campaign said this week that some 25 percent of those attending their monster rally in the Granite State this week were actually registered Democrats. That also is a beautiful thing.
If the mob of Democratic candidates seeking the USA Presidency cannot change that forthrightly, Mr. Trump and his supporters are going to really enjoy the coming summer and fall.

Trial Judge in Stone Case Declines to Act Even When Juror Concedes Bias
TOWSON, Maryland Thursday, February 13, 2020 - The Sunday Morning political snub-fests were well under way on the networks on a recent Sunday, and at least a few political junkies had just taken positions glued to their televisions.
At least a few? Well, to be honest, just a bare few. A bare few? Well, at least one. At least. At least one. There, to see Chuck Todd ask some woe-begotten fool if he knew what day it was.
This is how bad things are on Sunday Morning Network Television.
And its not just on network television. Chuckie Schumer, that bastion of moderate and friendly political nonsense, had the mundane audacity to go on network TV on Monday to announce that he has sent letters to all 74 Executive Department Inspector Generals, telling them that they'd better investigate any "retaliatory" removals from the federal workforce. Chuck is talking, of course, about the Brothers Vindman. Both brothers worked inside the White House, ostensibly for the National Security Council. Actually, we know now, these fine patriots actually swore their allegiance to the DNC.
When one of the Vindmans was called as a witness in front of Congress during the recently completed Ukraine affair, Brother Alexander testified that it was that nasty Trump Administration that wanted his wonder Bidens 'dealt with.'
Sadly, for the Vindmans, the party that favored the Bidens didn't do well in the most recent federal elections. The new guy in town, in fact, actually lived in the very same White House where those wily Vindmans reported to work, that is, until recently.
I am not a fan of the President's dear friend, Mr. Stone. He is a loose cannon with no direction or cogent purpose. But when a juror admitted to disliking President Trump and the trial judge - an Obama functionary - refused to take action, it showed beyond doubt that the fix against Stone was in. And it was "in" right in the middle of a jury trial. And we mean a criminal jury trial where the Defendant could be sentenced to serious time in jail. Shameful. Really really shameful.
Just wondering where ole Chuck Schumer was during those eight thrill-packed years that made up the Obama Regime. I'll give you a hint: he was carefully not paying the least bit of attention, because, after all, Barack's eight years were nothing but sweet, friendly and even cuddly.
They were, weren't they?
On TV Monday night, one prominent Dem said he opposed socialism because "it doesn't frickin work." That would be Chris Matthews of MSDNC, er, ah, MSNBC.
He really did say that.
Anyway, it is just amazing how conservative-sounding the Dems get on election eve.
The President held one of his trademark rallies on Monday night in New Hampshire. The arena was packed and thousands were encamped outside. The media, however, breathlessly reported that there were 3,500 at some Democrat's rally. OK. What did the MSM report about the much higher turnout at the Trump rally?
Hardly a word.
In Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, the five registered voters raced to the polls at midnight because the polls there open at midnight and close shortly after.
One respected pundit, Britt Hume of Fox, said he believed that there was credence to the reports that Senator Amy Klobuchar is surging. If she is, it could be very bad news for every other Democratic candidate, especially Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren. Look for the woman from Minnesota to emerge from the New Hampshire Primary in third place nationally. That is exactly what happened
Joe Biden's wife - more than a few people think it would be better if she was the candidate instead of Joe - said on Fox tonight that her son's death at the hands of cancer kept her out of church for a long time. But that all changed when a woman, uninvited, approached her at a function over the summer and asked to be her prayer partner. Since then, her faith has returned. and Ms. Biden and the woman are said to maintain an active correspondence. Mrs. Biden is a good, honest, perceptive person.
The deadbeat Democrats in Congress have kept up their sad attack on President Trump. Every time it looks like the President has resorted to Twitter once too often, he puts out a humdinger to silence the critics. I have never blamed him for doing the twitter thing, since his opportunities to address the American People without the MSM changing his message, are few and far between. By using Twitter, he gets an unfettered shot at speaking to the citizens. That is the way it should be. Show me where in the Constitution it says that media types have the right to impede the President when he wants to reach the voters.
Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders is falling into a trap some Democrat Big Wheels are setting for him. Recently, James Carville ridiculed Sanders for a number of reasons. Sanders hit back. That was a huge mistake. Carville is smarter than many realize. When he speaks these days, the person of whom he speaks better listen. Sanders did not.
If the Democratic big wheels really are hell-bent on stopping Sanders like they did four years ago, they need to do a lot of listening to people like Carville, who know of what they speak.
They need a lot of good advice if they don't want to be impaled on a Marxist candidacy.
At least a few? Well, to be honest, just a bare few. A bare few? Well, at least one. At least. At least one. There, to see Chuck Todd ask some woe-begotten fool if he knew what day it was.
This is how bad things are on Sunday Morning Network Television.
And its not just on network television. Chuckie Schumer, that bastion of moderate and friendly political nonsense, had the mundane audacity to go on network TV on Monday to announce that he has sent letters to all 74 Executive Department Inspector Generals, telling them that they'd better investigate any "retaliatory" removals from the federal workforce. Chuck is talking, of course, about the Brothers Vindman. Both brothers worked inside the White House, ostensibly for the National Security Council. Actually, we know now, these fine patriots actually swore their allegiance to the DNC.
When one of the Vindmans was called as a witness in front of Congress during the recently completed Ukraine affair, Brother Alexander testified that it was that nasty Trump Administration that wanted his wonder Bidens 'dealt with.'
Sadly, for the Vindmans, the party that favored the Bidens didn't do well in the most recent federal elections. The new guy in town, in fact, actually lived in the very same White House where those wily Vindmans reported to work, that is, until recently.
