A Viewer Writes: Palmer Gillis is backpeddling what he meant in the article

Brian Judson

I am only going to address 1 issue in this article. That’s is that you are requesting these people remove the flags because they make you uncomfortable and you are unable to digest your food because of the discomfort these flapping fabrics cause. So you are saying that if these flags are removed from your view your digestive track will return to Normal so that you may enjoy your meal. So essential you are covering your head with a blanket to protect yourself from the monster in the closet and that if you can’t see the monster it doesn’t exist. “Out of sight, out of mind” So, what I’m saying is that this entire article is a blow hard piece to make an attack on the yachts and their owners. If trump and his policies truly upset you to the point on not being able to eat you would have starved to death a long time ago. So essential this display of free speech upsets you merely because you don’t agree with it and that inability to respect another’s opinion and have a meaningful discussion is the cause of this divisiveness you speak of. #HTFU

Palmer Gillis would you say the same for the NFL kneelers? Or does your own opinions, whether you agree with the players or not influence your opinion. Because to me there protest is exactly the same, it makes many people unable to digest pro football.

And speaking for the yachts owners what is their desired goal?

I agree with Trump about the NFL kneelers. I don't watch. The yacht owners desired goal is to promote Trump and that is their right. Our point was the unitended consequensce, call it collateral damage , that folks woh don't want to see while having a dinng experience wont go to those areas. The same logic, if you will , as the Conferdrate flags. I have no probelm with the Confederate flags myself, its history , but I see why many would. Is the intention of the Yacht owners to create that divisive environment and the business owners and their empoyess suffer as a result?

Mr. Gillis, My Viewers Just Threw Up In Their Mouths A Little Bit, (LOL)

LOOK CLOSE, Ladies & Gentlemen. To your left, ONE out of hundreds of "1 percenters" are sporting a HILLARY Flag. This picture was taken just moments ago at Sunset Marina. 

All kidding aside, we Conservatives welcome YOUR Freedom of Speech and First Amendment rights. I personally believe this is exactly what we needed here on the Shore. 

It proves that Conservatives aren't just the "1 percenters" as expressed in yesterday's Editorial. God Bless the owner of that yacht for standing tall in what he or she believes in and guess what, that's what Makes America Great Again. 

My sincere thanks and gratitude goes out to Mr. Mark Odachowski for starting this peaceful movement. One single individual stood up for something he believes in and opened honest and fair debate between all Eastern Shore Americans. 

Come Bike Week, who wants to bet the local media goes black when it comes to the THOUSANDS of Trump 2020 Flags being flown and will claim it's too controversial? Not to worry though, President Trump will be watching and Tweeting. 

McCain Will Lie In State At Capitol; Barack Obama, George W. Bush To Deliver Eulogies

John McCain requested that former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush deliver eulogies at his funeral, according to CBS News. McCain died at home on Saturday of an aggressive form of brain cancer at the age of 81, after his family announced on Friday that the Senator had chosen to discontinue medical treatment.

McCain will lie in state at the Capital Rotunda and receive a full dress funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral, and will also lie in state at the Arizona Capital, according to the New York Times. He will be buried in Annapolis, Md. according to a Republican official involved in the planning.

Open Letter To The NFL PLAYERS. The Boycott is coming...!

You graduated high school in 2011. Your teenage years were a struggle. You grew up on the wrong side of the tracks.

Your mother was the leader of the family and worked tirelessly to keep a roof over your head and food on your plate.

Academics were a struggle for you and your grades were mediocre at best.

The only thing that made you stand out is you weighed 225 lbs and could run 40 yards in 4.2 seconds while carrying a football.

Your best friend was just like you, except he didn’t play football. Instead of going to football practice after school, he went to work at McDonalds for minimum wage.

You were recruited by all the big colleges and spent every weekend of your senior year making visits to universities where coaches and boosters tried to convince you their school was best. They laid out the red carpet for you.

Your best friend worked double shifts at Mickey D’s. College was not an option for him.

On the day you signed with Big State University, your best friend signed paperwork with his Army recruiter.

You went to summer workouts. He went to basic training.

You spent the next four years living in the athletic dorm, eating at the training table. You spent your Saturdays on the football field, cheered on by adoring fans.

Tutors attended to your every academic need. You attended class when you felt like it.

Sure, you worked hard. You lifted weights, ran sprints, studied plays, and soon became one of the top football players in the country.

Your best friend was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division.

While you were in college, he deployed to Iraq once and Afghanistan twice.

He became a Sergeant and led a squad of 19 year old soldiers who grew up just like he did.

He shed his blood in Afghanistan and watched young American's give their lives, limbs, and innocence for the USA.

You went to the NFL combine and scored off the charts. You hired an agent and waited for draft day.

You were drafted in the first round and your agent immediately went to work, ensuring that you received the most money possible.

You signed for $16 million although you had never played a single down of professional football.

Your best friend re-enlisted in the Army for four more years. As a combat tested sergeant, he will be paid $32,000 per year.

You will drive a Ferrari on the streets of South Beach. He will ride in the back of a Blackhawk helicopter with 10 other combat loaded soldiers.

You will sleep at the Ritz. He will dig a hole in the ground and try to sleep.

You will “make it rain” in the clubhouse. He will pray for rain as the temperature reaches 120 degrees.

On Sunday, you will run into a stadium as tens of thousands of fans cheer and yell your name.

For your best friend, there is little difference between Sunday and any other day of the week. There are no adoring fans.

There are only people trying to kill him and his soldiers. Every now and then, he and his soldiers leave the front lines and “go to the rear” to rest.

He might be lucky enough to catch an NFL game on TV. When the National Anthem plays and you take a knee, he will jump to his feet and salute the television.

While you protest the unfairness of life in the United States, he will give thanks to God that he has the honor of defending his great country.

To the players of the NFL:

We are the people who buy your tickets, watch you on TV, and wear your jerseys.

We anxiously wait for Sundays so we can cheer for you and marvel at your athleticism.

Although we love to watch you play, we care little about your opinions until you offend us.

You have the absolute right to express yourselves, but we have the absolute right to boycott you.

We have tolerated your drug use and DUIs, your domestic violence, and your vulgar displays of wealth.

We should be ashamed for putting our admiration of your physical skills before what is morally right.

But now you have gone too far.

You have insulted our flag, our country, our soldiers, our police officers, and our veterans.

You are living the American dream, yet you disparage our great country.

I am done with NFL football and encourage all like minded Americans to boycott the NFL as well.

National boycott of the NFL for Sunday November 12th, Veterans Day Weekend.

Boycott all football telecast, all fans, all ticket holders, stay away from attending any games, let them play to empty stadiums.

Investigating John McCain's Tragedy at Sea

Editor’s Note: John McCain died at the age of 81 on Saturday after a year-long battle with brain cancer. Below is a piece originally published by Truthdig on Oct. 7, 2008, when the Arizona senator was running for president as a Republican candidate.

John McCain’s personal account of his life has shaped a powerful political narrative that accords him deference on the full range of policy issues. His first effort at shaping that narrative received a remarkable boost when the May 14, 1973, edition of U.S. News & World Report gave him space for what is perhaps the longest article the magazine had ever run, a 12,000-word piece composed entirely of his unedited and often rambling account of his prisoner-of-war experience. Ever since, McCain has added compelling details at key points in his political career. When his stories are placed beside documented evidence from other sources, significant contradictions often emerge. One such case involves McCain’s experience in the devastating fire and explosions that killed 134 sailors on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal during the Vietnam War three months before he was shot down over North Vietnam. McCain has made claims about this accident that differ dramatically from parts of the official Navy report and accounts of reliable eyewitnesses.

In considering the 1967 catastrophe, it is important to note that the official report concluded that no individual bore responsibility for the fire or its spread. There are a number of conflicting accounts of the Forrestal accident, but here is the story as based on the strongest sources. The fire started at 10:51 a.m. Saturday, July 29, 1967, as 30-year-old Lt. Cmdr. John McCain sat on the port side of the Forrestal in his A-4 Skyhawk going through preflight checks. To his right was Lt. Cmdr. Fred White, also in an A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft. A Zuni rocket on another airplane accidentally fired and flew across the flight deck, passing through White’s auxiliary fuel tank and falling into the ocean. Fuel spilled onto the deck from White’s craft and ignited. McCain told his biographer, Robert Timberg, and repeats in his own book, “Faith of My Fathers,” that the rocket hit his own plane and knocked two bombs from it into the burning fuel as he scrambled out of his cockpit and raced to safety across the deck.1

There was, in fact, a single bomb — not two — that dropped to the deck. It exploded 90 seconds after the fire broke out, intensifying the blaze until it raged out of control. White and Thomas Ott, McCain’s parachute rigger, were among the first to be killed instantly or mortally injured, along with most of the firefighting crew. McCain’s plane captain, Robert Zwerlein, was one of those who suffered fatal wounds at this point.

This is to advise that Governor Larry Hogan ordered the United States Flag and Maryland State Flag lowered to half-staff effective immediately until sunset, today, Sunday, August 26, 2018. This action is in honor of United States Senator John McCain who will forever remain one of the most valiant heroes our country has ever known.

Senator McCain passed away on Saturday, August 25, 2018.

Today's Poll Question 8-29-18

How many of you are sick and tired of the Mainstream Media taking every opportunity to bash President Trump and which topic ticks you off most?

A Viewer Writes: THE BOYCOTT IS COMING!!!

It puzzles me that people frequently misunderstand the important freedom given to us under the First Amendment - freedom of speech. Professional football players, in the context of their employment, do not have “an absolute right to express [themselves],” as the writer here seems to assume. Their rights are defined by a collective bargaining agreement negotiated by the Player’s Union and the owners of the NFL.

Contrary to popular belief, the First Amendment does not apply here; it applies only when governmental action is involved. To use the words of the First Amendment, it prohibits Congress (including the states under the 14th Amendment) from “abridging the freedom of speech.” In a relationship between owners of professional football teams and their employees, there is no governmental action.

Personally, I am offended by the conduct of professional football players in refusing to stand while the National anthem is being played. While the message being conveyed by those who “take a knee” varies, its common theme is criticism of our nation. I would be the first to agree that our wonderful nation is imperfect, but I don’t believe that criticizing our nation during the performance of the national anthem is appropriate; rather, it shows a lack of respect for our nation. It would be no more appropriate than attending the funeral of a friend and using it as an occasion to explain the many imperfections of the deceased friend.

So, I support the boycott on November 12 and will not be watching or attending any NFL game on that date.

David Hogg Threatens to 'Destroy' Smith & Wesson If It Doesn't Donate $5M to Gun Control Research

While participating in an anti-gun march in Massachusetts over the weekend, gun-control crusader David Hogg posted a hair-raising and head-turning ultimatum to Smith & Wesson.

Hogg told the popular firearms and ammunition manufacturer, headquartered in Springfield, via Twitter, that it had to fund “gun violence prevention research” to the tune of $5 million annually and cease making certain black rifles or else…

Hogg and his posse of moonbat millennials would “destroy” S&W.

“We will destroy you by using the two things you fear most,” wrote Hogg. “Love and economics see you soon.”
