Every indie & every moderate, reasonable, dem in @MontgomeryCoMD should @VoteforEsther. It’s in your best interest, & it’s in the county’s best interest. The only interest @CMJawando cares about is his far left socialist base. @ModeratelyMoco @MoCoCouncilMD
Here’s my “No Kings in MoCo” Public Comments on 10/27/26. Oppose @CMJawando Expedited Bills 49-26 & 50-26 Consolidated of power. This County Council cannot be trusted! Here’s why! @MoCoCouncilMD @TheMoCoShow @TheMoCoShow @mymcmedia @bethesda_today @MDBayNews @cleanslatemoco @bannermoco @ABC7 @AdamPagnucco @fox5dc

Follow the money trail MoCo! 💰 💰 💰 $115k goes from Will Jawando’s senate committee to the Working Families Party (WFP) PAC, and nearly $88k comes back to support his County Executive run. The State cleared it legally, but the optics remain. MoCo is too critical to be steered by a DSA-aligned agenda! 🚫 Vote accordingly! #WinWithWells Authority: Citizens for Esther Wells, Kara McNulty, Treasurer

If we took all of Elon's money to pay off the national debt, we'd still be 39 trillion dollars in debt. Maybe we have a politician problem, not a billionaire problem.

Good for Gottheimer.
BREAKING 🚨: CNN’s Dana Bash: “You’re a lifelong Democrat. If you were a Michigan voter, how would you vote in the Senate race?” Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ): *Laughs* “There’s no way I’m ever coming out for El-Sayed, right now… This is a guy who has made it VERY CLEAR his views towards… Jewish Americans.”

Crazy how bad leadership is hurting what used to be a great state.
Maryland is 5th WORST. Money is LEAVING Maryland. This data is from 2023 (IRS). But since then, Annapolis has raised taxes/fees by BILLIONS of dollars. A new state payroll tax will take effect in January (FAMLI). What is Annapolis doing to stop people/$$$ from moving out?

Let’s just all admit that Palestine is not a real country and never will be because it’s run by terrorists who won’t allow voting.
She knows that the actual issue is the 6 million Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank who can’t vote. She just thinks you’re too dumb to know.

Many nonprofits are money laundering machines. They never solve the problem for which they were created. There’s no incentive to do so.

NYC: 8.6 million people. $125.8 billion budget. Florida: 23.5 million people. $117.6 billion state budget. Nearly three times the population, a smaller state budget, and Zohran still thinks New Yorkers aren’t taxed enough.

Actually, if you cut an ad saying Americans are having a tough time buying bananas because we spend 1/10 of 1% of the budget on Israel -- with most of that being funneled back to U.S. defense contractors -- and not a really big storm in the Pacific, you do, in fact, hate Jews.
If you think this ad is antisemitic, you’re in a cult and don’t know it. You think Israel is owed all the money it wants from US and if Americans don’t hand it over - without complaint - they’re antisemites. That’s insane, but you don’t realize it because you’ve lost your mind.

I saw @EvanMGlass bragging about knocking a no soliciting door. Then he deleted it. This was my reply This is that macho anti-consent politics Y’all flex on and it’s just the worst. It’s like the text messages you send to people that didn’t opt in. It’s this type of thing that makes people not trust either party and dislike all levels of government.

I get the tomato basil pasta. There’s nothing wrong with Cheesecake Factory.
🚨Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on President Obama mocking the Cheesecake Factory: “This is the man who built the museum and it looks like Darth Vader’s tomb.” Bessent also told @FoxBusiness' @FBNNicoleMac he frequents the Cheesecake Factory and always orders the French dip cheeseburger — and suggested the “Martha’s Vineyard set” should “give it a try.”

The core Democrat voters - Blacks and Jews - are not reliable dem voters anymore. Educated people understand that communism and terrorism are bad.
BREAKING: Empowering Black Americans, a group made up of thousands of Black Michigan Democrat voters, has announced that they oppose Abdul El-Sayed.

It’s a real shame we didn’t make this man president and give him both houses of Congress so he could fix healthcare…
Barack Obama: "They are running scary ads to make you think Democrats are radicals, communists, jihadists, or the woke police. What is radical about wanting everybody to have healthcare? How is that radical?"

Eggs are like $2.27. Bananas about $0.41 per pound. But Democrats never let the facts get in the way of a chance to blame those dirty Jews. Fitting that this is how el Sayed closes: lying in service of anti-Semitism.
Abdul El-Sayed blames Israel for the price of your eggs and bananas, even though he knows that higher grocery prices are only due to supply, energy and inflation factors. Shame on anyone voting for a candidate who uses Antisemitic talking points to win an election.

When you pick the groceries, cook the meal, plate the food and then complain to management that it tasted bad.

It’s a Ponzi scheme.
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME LIKE I'M FIVE YEARS OLD. If Social Security's trust fund runs dry by 2032, which is now the official projection in this year's Trustees Report, what the actual hell happens to every dollar that's been pulled out of my paycheck for the last 10+ years?? Because here's what nobody explains clearly: Social Security isn't a savings account with your name on it. There's no personal vault sitting somewhere with "your" contributions in it. Every dollar taken out of your check right now is being paid out immediately to current retirees. It's a pass-through system, not a piggy bank. So when they say the trust fund "runs out," they don't mean all the money vanishes and checks stop entirely. They mean the surplus reserve that's been topping off the gap disappears, and the program drops to paying out only what it's currently collecting in payroll taxes that year. Based on current projections, that means an automatic cut of somewhere around 20-22% to everyone's benefit, with zero congressional action required to trigger it. It just happens by default under current law. So I've been paying into this system for over a decade, and the "promise" I'm working with is: maybe I get roughly 78 cents on every dollar I was supposed to receive, starting the exact year it's projected to hit, unless Congress does something before then, which it has had decades to do and hasn't. Genuinely, where did the rest of it go. And why is "trust us, we'll probably fix it eventually" the actual retirement plan being sold to an entire generation.

Of course. All of these kneejerk reactions turn out being wrong.

Yep that’s me. I’m not a piggy bank for politicians who spend recklessly.
Leaving Maryland: In the past year, a number of people I know left Maryland for Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Georgia. But I have not met ONE person in the past year who has moved TO Maryland. Net migration is a problem for Maryland. The new census numbers will be interesting.
