From Harford County Public Schools:
Dear Harford County Public Schools Community,
Last week, Harford County Public Schools (HCPS) released the Draft Recovery Plan for opening the 2020-2021 school year and presented the plan publicly at the July 13 Board of Education meeting. Since the release of the plan, community stakeholders provided extensive feedback with the majority of messages falling into two distinct groups: (1) those who support opening schools to in-person learning, and (2) those who support a fully distance-learning environment due to safety concerns.
There is general agreement that safe, in-person learning would be the first preference, but the current conditions make it impossible for large groups of students to be in school at one time. Based on this feedback, we determined the hybrid model in the Draft Recovery Plan does not allow our students and staff to adequately practice social distancing, and it creates an insurmountable logistical challenge for parents in many cases. Additionally, due to several health and safety concerns, many of our educators may not be able to be present for an in-person model which would have impacted our ability to provide adequate supervision and instruction.
Subsequently, HCPS will be implementing a modified plan that relies exclusively on virtual learning while providing opportunities for students who need a safe, supervised place during the school day. All instruction during the first semester will be virtual. Chromebooks will be provided for all students in grades K-8, and Windows-based laptops will be provided for all students in grades 9-12. All teachers will receive a Windows-based laptop. HCPS is currently undertaking trials of cellular hotspots throughout the county, to provide Internet access to all students. In addition, we are making dramatic upgrades to our curriculum and professional development to ensure virtual instruction is more interactive and engaging than during the Spring of 2020.
To address the needs of students who require a safe place to spend the school day, we are offering a limited number of spaces in HCPS Learning Support Centers at each of our schools where students will be supervised by an HCPS employee and have reliable access to the Internet. While attending the HCPS Learning Support Centers, students will receive virtual instruction from their teacher working from a remote location. These students will have access to bus transportation and Food and Nutrition services.
Next week, we will send an Intentions Survey to all families asking who will be interested in having their children attend HCPS Learning Support Centers in the Fall. Prior to finalizing this plan, HCPS will have to weigh demand for attending the HCPS Learning Support Centers against our capacity to staff them safely. An infographic with additional details about the HCPS Virtual Learning and the HCPS Learning Support Centers is attached to this message.
This evening, HCPS is hosting a Parent Academy Town Hall to provide an opportunity for parents and community members to engage in a more robust conversation about the details of this plan. Please join us from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on-line. You can access the event at this link.
Our ultimate goal is for every student to return to in-person learning as soon as safety allows. We have been fortunate that Harford County has experienced the lowest infection rate among the large counties in Maryland. Our county leadership has done an excellent job balancing safety considerations with efforts to incrementally return the community to more “normal” activities. We believe this plan is consistent with that approach and we will continue seeking ways to incrementally provide additional in-person experiences, particularly for our students with the greatest learning needs.
Sincerely,
Sean Bulson, Ed.D.

Terrible decision, the idea that technology is going to teach a k-5 student is disturbingly wrongheaded. This is all about the teachers and nothing to do with the students. The hospitalization rates for those under 18 is incredibly low.
https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/COVIDNet/COVID19_3.html
Unless you’re willing to play craps with the lives of thousands of children – not to mention faculty – there simply is no other option. If the rest of the country wasn’t so dead set on reopening bars and barbershops for a few months, we might have been able to get control of this thing. And don’t give me hospitalization rates – exactly how many children are you willing to risk to find out if it’s safe? How many teachers are you OK with losing before you concede the point? Percentages work in certain instances but these are real people that will suffer and die. When we get to cold and flu season it’ll get really interesting, and all because of block headed fools who refuse to take this seriously.
Reopening bar and barbershops? Really? Nothing about tens of thousands of protesters, rioters, criminals, and thugs in close quarters.
Life is full of risks. To act otherwise is foolish and naive. Anyone who doesn’t want to could refuse to come to school or go to work. Life is about personal choices about what to do, refusing to open up schools wrong. Let people make their choice.
No, COVID-19 has proven that it is NOT the 100 year global pandemic that everyone thought it was. It seems to have targeted the elderly and people with underlying conditions. If you are in the high risk category and are a teacher, maybe you should stay home and be safe. Otherwise, the kids need you back in the classrooms. The biggest danger of COVID-19 is going to be the over reaction to this virus and the under reaction to the next, which could be the TRUE 100 year pandemic. Let’s see what Fauci hatches up next in his Chinese lab….
Good post. It is about failure of the HCPS leadership. I do not believe it was the staff.
How many teachers and bus drivers do you know under the age of 18?
Those who do not want to take the risk can quit.
the acceptable number of dead children or teachers is ZERO!
The acceptable number of children not receiving an education during the years they are supposed to be growing and learning is ZERO as well. For a disease effecting under 1% of the population and killing less than .4% that have been infected, the schools shutting down is not acceptable. Are we going to shut everything down every Flu season? I hardly think so…
Fuk you azzhole……..what do you do with your life POS.
I see antifa has shown up.
Raise my kids, go to work everyday, take care of my neighbors, coach at the local rec? Not call someone names when I disagree with them.
Antifa??? LOL. Watch less Fox news Dad and coach your kids.
Go read some Thomas Sowell, it might help with that lefty brain disease.
Yeah, but when we tune in to the crap you watch we are told that people who are rioting and looting are really just involved in peaceful protests. Everything you type is nothing but scripted DemoTraitor talking points designed to promote fear.
If you have gone to a convenience or grocery store, yet think its ok for teachers to hide at home at the expense of the children’s education, I personally think you are wrong. Who do you think is going to be affected by this the most the well to do or those that struggle?
I’m not in a grocery store 5 days a week for 9 hours.
The clerk is, guess they are less important than you…
I have yet to meet one that wanted to be there
Then why do they go?
So it’s all about the teachers. So what, too bad, and tough luck. I hope you sincerely believe that and it disturbs you to no end.
Well, the Crusher of Souls didn’t comment this, but I’m going to have to say that maybe teachers should wear masks if they are that concerned about it. Give them some hand sanitizer and such. School is about the children receiving an education and interacting with other children. Do you really want the disconnect to do more damage than it has already done? Most children are more at home utilizing a tablet than talking to other kids. That’s a shame. Lets get people back to work and children back in schools…
Great post!
send your kids if you have any
That’s exactly my point maybe the parents should be able to decide whether their kids should go, but that decision has been taken from them.
HARFORD COUNTY — Three senior level administrators no longer work at Harford Community College (HCC) after using official e-mail accounts to “speculate” about the “employment status” of lower level employees at the institution amidst an era of unprecedented turnover at the institution.
The Cecil Whig and The Bargaineer have obtained a recent e-mail from HCC President Dr. Dianna Phillips to HCC employees confirming that the administrators were let go. Reporters also obtained a copy of the e-mail between administrators that clearly showcased what a former employee called a “hit list.”
Documents show the staffers were: Senior Associate Vice President for Administration Kathleen “Katie” Callan, Director of Finance Beth Fetcho, and Vice President of Marketing, Development and Community Relations Brenda Morrison.
“On Friday, January 3, 2020, I learned of an incident involving three senior-level administrators who made improper use of their official College email accounts to speculate about the employment status of various Harford Community College employees,” read the letter. “I immediately launched an investigation, which has now concluded. Effective immediately, these administrators no longer work at the College. The details of their separation are a personnel matter, I am unable to comment further.”

A viewer writes: This Katie Callan is slated to be Ocean City’s next HR Director.
(May 22, 2020) It was a dream come true for 46-year-old Katie Callan when she heard the news that she had been hired as Ocean City’s new human resource director.
“My husband and I had been wanting to spend more time at our home in Ocean City for years, but with me working full time two and a half hours away, this seemed impossible,” Callan.
The Maryland native was born in Baltimore City and raised in Baltimore County where she lived for the next 20 or so years until she met her husband, TJ Callan.
The two settled in Harford County, where they have lived for 25 years.
In 2012, the couple purchased a second home in Ocean City, and split their time here and in Abingdon.
Callan has a long history in the human resources (HR) profession — obtaining her bachelor’s degree in mass communications and a master’s degree in human resource development, both at Towson University.
She then obtained two additional professional certifications in the area of human resources management, including a PHR certification from the Human Resources Certification Institute and the designation as a SHRM-CP from the Society for Human Resources Management.
Callan is also a certified Project Management Professional (PMP).
“What originally drew me to the profession and what keeps my passion for HR alive is the profoundly positive impact HR professionals can, and do, have on the workforce and the culture of the organization,” she said.
Her first gig in human resources came around 25 years ago, when Storage USA, located in Columbia, offered her a position as its human resources generalist.
She then moved on to Aon Consulting in Owings Mills.
“After a few years at Aon, I missed the diversity of responsibilities which comes from a more generalist HR role, and moved on to Baltimore Medical System (BMS), where I stayed for the next 14 years holding the titles HR generalist, HR director, vice president for HR and finally vice president for administrative operations,” Callan said.
Then in 2014, she joined Harford Community College as the institution’s director for human resources, where over the course of 5.5 years she would be promoted from HR director, to associate vice president for administration and technology and then to senior associate vice president for administration.
Despite her success at Harford, her time there was cut short after she found herself in the middle of controversy.
In early January, a newspaper article was published claiming Callan and two other senior level administrators had been let go after using their official e-mail accounts to create a “betting pool” of sorts, through which they improperly speculated about lower level employee termination.
Harford Community College, at the time, was going through a historic turnover.
The article went on to quote a former employee, who described the incident as a “hit list.”
None of the three administrators were quoted in the article, and the article states requests for comments made to several departments at the college were not returned.
However, Callan said reporters did not directly contact her for comment, and an email sent to the editor shortly after went unanswered.
She told Ocean City Today that the incident began two years ago, in December 2018, as a conversation between the three administrators about who might be at risk for attrition at the college in the near future.
“At that time, there was a tremendous amount of change taking place at the college resulting from the hiring of a new president in 2016,” she said. “This new president brought with her many new ideas and began implementing numerous large scale projects.”
Employees were struggling to adjust to the pace and the extent of changes being implemented, however, and as a result the college had a significant amount of turnover, particularly among senior-level administrators, Callan said.
“This was a trend my colleagues and I were extremely concerned about and were working very hard to reverse,” she said.
By July 2019, 30 of 35 administrators had been turned over in a 24-month period.
“I was reminded that we had discussed potential departures and had even written down our thoughts at the end of 2018,” Callan recalled. “This is where I made a significant error in judgment by translating that information into an email, which I sent to my two colleagues indicating whose instincts had been the most accurate and stated that we owed that individual [a] drink.”
Callan stressed that the conversation had never been about lower-level employees, but her peer group.
“The story intentionally leads a reader to believe that these were individuals taking advantage of their position to humiliate the rank and file,” Callan said.
Callan also criticized the article’s implication that she held immense authority over the employment status of other employees.
She explained that the college has a robust employee grievance and due process procedure, and a termination requires the approval of the college president and review from legal counsel.
“To indicate that we would have the authority to influence the dismissal of any employee without cause due process is simply untrue,” she said.
Nevertheless, in an attempt to make amends, Callan said she wrote personal letters to all included on her list and provided context missing from the published article, the reasons why she felt they were at risk for termination and apologized for her actions.
She also offered to meet in person if they wished to discuss the issue further or just to clear the air, she said.
Following her resignation at Harford Community College, Callan immediately began job hunting, and applied for the city position in February.
“Katie was very forthright about her situation at Harford Community College,” City Manager Doug Miller said. “The press article was not totally accurate. She acknowledged it was a big mistake that she had made, [and] we understood that it did not disqualify her from our consideration.”
“I wanted to be completely transparent with the town from the start,” Callan said. “It would be difficult to build trust with my new colleagues if they were to discover this on their own.”
Despite securing the position this month, Callan knows the journey is not over, and she hopes to prove herself worthy of confidence and trust.
“Although this is not something I am proud of, it certainly does not define me, nor is it reflective of my successful 25-year career in HR,” Callan said. “I believe my skills and experience, along with the relationships I will build with my new colleagues will serve to relieve the initial reservations some people may have based on this one incident.”
Ocean City Today’s request for comment by the publication mentioned in the story went
He was ready to send us all off to war with Korea and look how many young people then would it been killed we all mean nothing to trump we’re just little porns on his larger chessboard in his head
Incredible…..given you will need less custodial services, lunch services, security, busing, and the like HCPS better accommodate every child that needs to attend in person at these “learning centers.” Retool your staff (including Administrators) to provide adequate supervision at as many locations as you need to provide the oversight. Don’t hassle parents about your “Limited Space”.
As for this household we will Home School because its obvious the Public School System is inept and incapable.
I have to disagree. Our 2 kids have and are receiving an excellent education in the HCPS system. One child was a Harford Tech cyber program grad and the other will be in the new HdeG Oracle program. Both got excellent grades from fantastic teachers!
Thank you. That’s one less child we have to worry about, and two less bitchy, obnoxious helicopter parents with a toddler’s sense of entitlement.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
That was a response to “Truth Be Told”, not you. Sorry for the confusion; I should have addressed him.
Helicopter parent? Really because the education provided is subpar? Please! Get over yourself.
I’m not the one proclaiming to the world all the ways public schools are inept and making sure that everyone knows I home school.
Get over yourself.
The public schools have become inept and the illegal Federal Program of “Common Core” is just part of it. There is no power or authority to educate the people granted to the Federal government. It’s a State Authority. By the STATE OF MARYLAND taking part in this Federal program they have instituted another TYRANNY. This time in the education of children. Stop playing your Democratic Traitor Games. You should also think about using your OWN screen name and stop trying to confuse the readers…
Moniker Theft! Moniker Theft!!
Oh, when will it ever end?!
Well, you can do whatever you want, but how are people supposed to know who they are responding to? By the way, I don’t even think you knew what the word “moniker” was until I used it on here…
Kids have been handling technology since almost the day they were born. They will do just fine. Thiscisn’t about them, it is about their stubborn parents who refuse to recognize that tech is the wave of the future. Get on the train parents or it will leave without you.
If tech is the wave of the future explain how all European countries, and most of the rest of the worlds kids are heading back to class in the fall. This will put US kids a full year behind the rest of the world.
Hospitalization rate for the age group 5-17 for covid is 4.4 and 38.3 for the flu per 100,000 infections(flu numbers from 2017-2018).

In person education cannot be replaced by technology, even they guys in charge of tech realize that.
https://www.educationnews.org/technology/silicon-valley-tech-execs-sending-kids-to-tech-free-schools/
How many teachers, bus drivers, custodians, food service workers, school nurses, principles and staff do you know that are in the 5-17 age group?
Please stop posting 2018 articles. This is half way thru 2020. A heck of a lot has changed.
When they post the 2019/2020 flu numbers I will but the data holds similar from year to year.
Let me get in on this. There are 3,500,000,000 people in American. there is less than 3,500,000 people infected, so that is slightly less than 1% of this country has been infected. Out of that 3,500,000 infected people, about 136,000 people whom have died. That’s like a .4% death rate. Less than half of the 1% of those infected. I think we need to be realistic here and I don’t think the numbers lie.
Except of course that our population is 350,000,000 (350 Million, not 3.5 Billion as you claim) so your math is off by a factor of 10. The death rate of those infected is 4%. Perhaps if you did some virtual learning you’d be better at arithmetic.
You’re right. I made a mistake. It’s 350,000,000 people in our population. My bad. The actual death rate is 3.83%, which is STILL miniscule and includes the deaths of all the elderly and at risk patients. The death rate will go down because it is healthy people being infected now, while the at risk are still hiding with Joe Biden in his basement. However, there is nothing wrong with my calculation of percentages and my arithmetic. I just started with the population off by a factor of 10. Virtual learning would’ve never helped because I couldn’t ask the teacher a question.
Where did you learn math? 3.5 million infected, 140,000 dead that’s 4% death rate. Out of the 3.5 million 40% are suffering long term or permanent health issues such as strokes blood clots lung and heart damage. Iwould call you an idiot but we already know that
The 4% include all the people at the nursing homes that you Democratic murderers endangered by placing COVID patients in the nursing homes. You Democratic murderers then claim it was Trump’s CDC guidelines when in fact you murderers run the CDC and the bureaucracy of the traitor government.
Let’s no forget that you Democratic murderers are also including ANY person who dies in hospice, car crashes or any other cause of death as long as Coronavirus is found during the autopsy. The Democratic Party is not only the party of treason, rioting, looting and burning down businesses, but the party of Murderers placing Covid patients in with the elderly in nursing homes. You Democratic scumbags truly sicken me.
Call bs again, your facts are actually fabrications…
Lefty news even knows your death rate is bull
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/05/fact-check-cdc-estimates-covid-19-death-rate-0-26/5269331002/
There is NO doubt that the death rates are being skewed by medical professionals whom are following the CDC’s determination that even a person who actually died from another cause they will be STILL be considered a COVID-19 death in the statistics. What does this tell us?
It tells me you are a clueless conspiracy theory nut with no evidence of what you claim. You don’t think doctors know what a person died from?
Evidence https://www.fox35orlando.com/news/fox-35-investigates-questions-raised-after-fatal-motorcycle-crash-listed-as-covid-19-death
@Just the Facts – I already gave you the evidence. Did you NOT watch the video from Illinois? That is the National Standard by CDC guidelines. You are ignoring the facts because it doesn’t fit YOUR political agenda. That’s the bottom line…and YES, doctors do know what people are dying from and they are falsifying death certificates not only here in Maryland, but across the whole damn nation! You are blinded by your Democratic political agenda.
Thats a shame because that’s what they are gonna do.
Another post by an imposter. Look, in person education can not be replaced by technology because the quality of the education dwindles. If you can’t ask a teacher a question in real time during the learning process then how are you supposed to get the answers needed to learn? That’s the bottom line…
This makes the leadership of hcps look partisan, and not in a political way. I mean they (not the staff) chose to put their priorities above that of the kids. Simply wrong.
Mike you go do those jobs if it’ so safe…….
So? Why shouldn’t they? Why should they risk their health and their families health? Good for them!
How many people 19 and under in Maryland have died from the Wuhan Pneumonia? The answer is one. The answer is 1. How any died from other illnesses during the past four months? Many more have died over a 4 month period from the FLU.
It’s not either you die or you get better. 45% of the people will never fully recover and have life long health problems. People who have survived have required double lung transplants they are not fine. You cannot join the military if you where hospitalized from covid-19 why?
How do you know they will never fully recover if the virus is less than a year old? Where in America are they giving double lung transplants? That’s a new one to me. So if you can’t join the military if you had COVID-19 is COVID-19 a good reason to discharge them? Honorably or what? Medical Discharge? I think the military isn’t taking recruits whom are COVID-19 infected until they show they have recovered. Where on earth are you getting your information?
You are an idiot
https://abc7ny.com/double-lung-transplant-covid-covid-19-survivor-coronavirus/6310835/
That is a new procedure and no one has even heard of it around here. My aunt has been a registered nurse for 45 years and even she didn’t know about this. It’s a pity because my father died of COPD last year and could’ve used a new set of lungs. He was a combat veteran and a USMC Sergeant dying at 64 years old. I see you are getting your sources from New York news sites. Clearly you are a member of the Democratic Traitors Against America….
Furthermore, the cost of such procedures is outrageous and in this State you would probably be denied if you are 60+. One has to wonder why that 60+ year old man was given the procedure in the State it happened.
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2020/05/22/will-covid-19-disqualify-you-military-service-its-complicated-officials-say.html
It plainly states that the order was rescinded….
Wait a second 80% of the people who get COVID have mild to no symptoms. So your 45% have long terms issues is a down right lie!
Yup. The Democratic Traitors Against America are barking nothing but their political talking points and they skew their evidence at every opportunity.
Jesus you people really need to stop watching fox news.
https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-asymptomatic-people-can-still-develop-lung-damage-141154
I read the story, including the study. The devil is always in the details, you should read with more open mind. The 45% stat you cite is based on asymptotic people with the virus, the study cited was for 58 people in Wuhan who were admitted to the hospital. Logical question would be if they were asymptotic why were they admitted to the hospital? Saying that 45% of people who get infected have long term damage is again a lie. Read the study no where did they make claim you did.
On the note of asymptotic people suddenly getting ill and dying, that was covered by the immunologists paper talking about some people not recognizing the virus as a problem until much later, causing a massive immune response that can result in death. Now that we understand this we know how to treat it.
Hiding in your house watching wuflu panic porn isn’t the answer. Going back to regular life while taking precautions is.
No. They are using the term “asymptomatic” incorrectly. If you in fact get lung damage then you were not asymptomatic. What they should be saying is people who exhibit no recognizable symptoms. “Asymptomatic” means displays no symptoms what so ever. Lung damage is a symptom even if it is a “silent” symptom. A non visible cause of damage is still a damage. Especially when we are talking about a person’s lungs. Are you trying to tell me a person will not notice or feel lesions in the lungs? I don’t think so. Look, you are doing nothing but spreading a bunch of fear and you are doing it on behalf on the Democratic Traitors Against America. Why is it that you are trying to make everyone afraid of living their lives? If Joe Biden wins, I bet all of you will just STFU about all this crap because the fear you have caused across this country did what it is supposed to do, just like you didn’t come out and say you were worried about Coronavirus during the rioting and looting.
LOL….Fox News Flunkie. Those stats are so wrong, but it fits your narrative so I get it. Moron. LMFAO
We had one closed test it was a cruise ship and 81% were asymptotic. Here is the left leaning us new and world report article.

Pure conjecture and anecdote.
Consider other great options in the county like independent schools that are smaller (rather than a large one size fits all approach) and can handle this type of situation with efficiency and tailor the needs of their student body. We live in a great county that is full of options!
With that note, Bulson has secured that many families will not be able to have both parents go back to work and earn a living. It keeps people on unemployment benefits and the national debt soaring. Good job Bolsun’ The Democratic Traitors Against America thank you from the bottom of their bureaucratic hearts.
Children are the parents responsibility not governments. why do republicans like yourself not realize this?
No. Once the children enter the school system it’s fed, state and local governments responsibility. The parents have very little to say once authority takes over the students.
You’ve lost your mind. Please state where this supposed authority to govern children is ordained from. The government can’t give itself a power or authority that has not been ordained to it. The parents have ALL the authority over their children unless they cede that authority to the government. The fact is the State government is who is supposed to educate, not the Feds, but parents have the ultimate authority over their children. Unless they commit mass murder or something….
And you are going to do what to stop it?
Wow. You really are infatuated with me. Is there something you’d like to ask me? E-mail or Phone # or something?
There is no authority to take over the lives of children from their parents without a court order and a cause of neglect. The government does NOT own the people. The people own the government. Man, does anyone else see a civil war brewing in this country?
Give the parents the 15 grand spent per student on education by local state and federal governments in Harford County. You would see open schools and better education. Gotta love the left gimme the money then complain about doing the job! Bet the private schools open up!
That really bugs you, doesn’t it? Good! Keep thinking about it.
BTW…that 15k is an expression of an average. Some kids cost next to nothing to educate, and some cost over 100k. The state doesn’t take a head count and multiply it by 15k, then write a check.
Look up the state funding formula. That is exactly what they do for each county based on that counties relative wealth. I love how people like you express loudly how ignorant you are on a subject.
I see. You want the schools to close. Sell all the school buildings and add thousands of people to the unemployment list. There by spending more money instead of people doing their job of education.
Or maybe allocating the money directly too parents would create a free market allowing parents to choose where their kids go. Do you think school leadership cares more about their kids than parents do?
Screw that so called free market. Nothing’s free. If parents know so much, why don’t they all home school.
Nothing’s Free? How very un Democratic of you. I thought everyone was going to get free college and their student loans forgiven? What prevents a parent from sending their children to private schools? I don’t think the government can regulate the private schools like it can the public schools. The government only has jurisdiction of that which it creates and public places. Private schools are neither…
While the State is supposed to educate, the parents are free to go to work. If the children are at school during the day, the parents can work. Its been keeping families well fed, clothed and owning homes for over a 100 years….
National debt over lives. That’s a very unthougthful remark. Since 2016 republicans have thrown money out the window. Now people get concerned about what teaching students will add to the national debt.
The national debt is the sole property of the democratic party and the great society programs. All of our deficit spending is done on wealth transfer programs that have not eliminated poverty. Just look at any pie chart of government spending.
National debt includes the cost of the Republican tax “cut”, the stupid Wall (that I thought Mexico was paying for), and all kinds of other crockpot Republican schemes.
Mexico is paying for it. It’s called the Mexican National Guard and it is funded completely by Mexico. Trump couldn’t depend on Congress to do their job, so he got Mexico to do Congress’ job. That’s just the way it is….
Please don’t show your ignorance. Check the record. There are billions of dollars sitting there to build the wall and Trump isn’t spending it. Check the last budget Dem Congress passed. There was money to build the wall. Trump isn’t spending it. Harford County went crazy about eminent domain when a power company wanted to build electric transmission lines. Yet they say nothing about eminent domain in Texas to build a wall. Bunch of hypocrites.
You’ve bumped your head. Congress won’t do their jobs so Trump had Mexico do it for them. That’s just the way it is…
Please don’t show your ignorance about which party runs up the debt. Check history. It will show the debt went up under Republican rule and reduced or maintained at the same level. Under Obama is the only Democratic President who ran up the debt. All because of Republican Bush causing the great recession. In fact the budget deficit was reducing under Obama. Trump has created the largest deficit in 4 years then any other president did in 8 years.The facts are there, if you want to admit it.
Clinton was the last President to have a clean slate, so to speak. He was a Democrat and that was 2 decades ago. Both R’s and D’s have done horrible with the debt since. Busch had his wars. Obama had a bad economy and got into his own war, but he did get Bin laden. However, he did let ISIS emerge. Trump has not focused on the debt quite yet and is trying to get us into a position where other countries start paying their fair share and bringing back American manufacturing to America. Then there was the Coronavirus and everything went to shit. Then there was rioting, looting and burning down businesses. Hell, we’ve even seen statues of Lincoln and Washington attacked. If we become self sufficient and export more than we import, you will see that debt disappear…
Gordon that is a typical leftwing lie. Obama came into office and passed extreme spending measures that did nothing to stop the recession. (all their data predictions were false) Then after jacking spending through the roof, they spent a little less in the years after claiming that the deficit is going down. You can make any statistic fit you narrative if you set the window. Billions of dollars on a wall are a drop in the bucket compared to the trillions in debt. Transfer payments are the problem and they are the exclusive brain child of the left. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/B087RC1Q027SBEA
Since Covid 19 in MD age 0 to 9 there’s 2000 cases. Age 10 to 20 age are 4000 cases, for a total of 6,000 in that age group. In the past week the growth is at about 11% and 14%. Should the students go to school in doors they will out number the 20 to 30 age group which is one third of the growth rate of Covid in MD. Expect the students Covid cases to be higher.

It’s not novel, the predictions were wrong. Problem is no one like to admit when they are wrong so they continue to do things in light of evidence to the contrary. I just want people to have the choice and closing stuff doesn’t do that. Top down control never works, people aren’t as smart as they think they are, unintended consequences can be devastating, and living in fear is useless.
https://medium.com/@vernunftundrichtigkeit/coronavirus-why-everyone-was-wrong-fce6db5ba809
I read everyone was wrong. The author also sounds bewildered at this virus. In the beginning many people gave many opinions that are wrong with the knowledge the medical professionals now know. I constantly read such articles. They all have opinions and try to push their facts. Facts which prove correct and then wrong. There is but one fact so far on how to control this virus. NY and other countries have proven masks and social distancing along with stay away from large gatherings works. Anyone who thinks self governing and not applying those simple basic principles is a fool. Anyone who listens to words of your have a choice is a fool.
Better a fool than a bleating sheep. I can get your take any night on the horror porn that is mainstream news. If you think listen to a German immunologist is foolish then I guess I’m a fool. But his take sure explains why the predicted 4% death rate dropped 10 fold
If the country wasn’t shut down the children would’ve already been exposed and would have developed immunity already. However, that is not the agenda going on right now because fear is how Democrats control the Country. I’m 47 and I had it. I lived. I just don’t know what to tell you other than if you are in the high risk category, you’re not going to die. I’m living proof of that….
Immunity. If someone who had the virus is immune, just why are so many catching it again. This virus is like no other that the medical professionals have dealt with.
Are they? If someone comes down with a different illness but Coronavirus antibodies shows up in their system, how do they no the difference? The immune systems of everyone constantly wearing masks has been compromised as their natural immunities to germs, viruses and bacteria has been offset. The virus, as according to the CDC has many, many symptoms now and if that is the case how are they differentiating allergies from COVID-19? A Cold from COVID-19? The Flu from COVID-19? Remember, air conditioners throw air around during the summer months and all the immunities people had this time last year are not the same as this year because of wearing those masks. We all do it in public spaces. I try to not wear one as much as possible anywhere else. I even see people driving around by themselves wearing masks and I am just in disbelief that my once proud Country has submitted to a virus that has effected less than 1% of the populace with a death toll of .4% to those whom catch it….
There is but one way to know the answer to many questions. Know thy self. Take your temperature ever morning and evening. Get a blood oxygen finger measure. Good lungs will read 100. Lower lungs have problem. Drastic drop and high temperature one has a problem. Wear a mask. Social distance. Beaware of your surroundings. Think like your life depends on knowing your self, cause it does.
Give me liberty or give me death. If my choice of liberty brings about death, so be it. This is the United States, the beacon of freedom, not the beacon of fascism….
Wow. There is 4 people here in the room I am in right now. We ALL just used an Oximeter and none of us came up 100 on the meter. Are we gonna die? No, well I guess yeah eventually down the road, but not from our number being lower than 100. I am the only smoker here in the room and I came up at 99. Another person here uses a vaporizer (e-cig) and they came up at 97! The other two don’t smoke, one is 35 and the other is 29, both females and they came up at 98. End of results…
In the end we all are gonna die of something. I want a death by misadventure!
Let’s think for a moment, shall we?
Let’s say we open all the schools. Sure, the students are the lowest risk group, but even before there was a world-wide pandemic, schools are notorious for being a petri-dish, especially during the flu season. For those of you who take care of school age children, or work around school age children, how often have you gotten sick from something they carry?
The children themselves may not get sick from this coronavirus, but then they infect the teachers, the secretaries, the administrators, the janitors, etc., who then themselves take it home and possibly give it to their families, who come in all age ranges.
What happens when the very staff that teaches your children become severely ill, and perhaps die? Oh, that’s right – most of the people in this county think that our teachers are easily replaceable. The last time I checked, Harford County doesn’t exactly have an army of teachers, beating on its doors, to get hired. Some schools the past few years have had substitute shortages – and what age group are most of the substitute teachers in HCPS? Do you really think a warm body off the streets is going to be qualified to teach your precious darling calculus, AP courses, or any of the specialized programs at any of the magnet schools?
What happens when the parents of children get ill and die? Unless those children have family members willing to take them in and care for them, they become wards of the state – and for those of you who are already complaining about too many of our tax dollars supporting others, well, you can’t have it both ways.
HCPS, as with many school systems in this country, are between a rock and a hard place. I would like to believe that they are trying to look at the larger picture, and make the best decisions they can, given the circumstances.
Additionally if teachers, custodians, bus drivers, and other staff get sick or possibly die due to exposure on the job, does that not lead to possible lawsuits for damages and harm? There are enough ambulance chaser lawyers now. The potential for covid related lawsuits is very possible for all essential employees. Can the county really handle the possibility of multi million dollar settlements for HCPS staff from juries?
That’s a ridiculous red herring. Almost everyone is back at work…in retail, restaurants, government, construction, etc., many of them in constant interaction w the public and coworkers. What in the heck makes teachers think they’re above it all? Clearly the unions force us to pay full salaries, without relation to quality, outcome or now as is clear, without evidence of really teaching at all. It’s a joke.
What about high school sports??!! No mention in the article. For many of us, this is more important than the schoolwork!
you will be just fine without sports. Still no baseball and eveyone is still doing ok…..
With online ‘education’ parents will see just how little is actually being taught in public schools today and will see firsthand the disaster that is common core. More parents, especially those who desire the best for their children, will transition to home schooling over the next few years. As public education shrinks, the unions and politicians they support will push to outlaw home schooling in order to protect the money flow. With birth rates plummeting, a more mobile and web connected society, and entrepreneurs transforming online educational tools, public schools with their bloated admin budgets, emptying buildings, ineffective teaching methods and questionable curriculum will eventually go the way of the dinosaur. It’s happening now at the college level and will be coming to k-12 as well.
Sam very good forward thinking. Not so sure of the fight for money from politician’s What else I see is a cleansing of the older education staff. Hope the pension systems have the funds for the degree of retirees.
LOL….you are all a bunch of whiny nut jobs. It’s a fkn pandemic. Figure it out and teach your kids some resilience and grit and STFU.
If teachers want to teach part-time, from what is already not a full time job in the same sense as every other job category in America, then it’s time to seriously think about a reduction in pay. Everyone knows this on-line learning scheme is a joke.
says the Mom who doesn’t want to be bothered by her kids while sitting at her pool watching other people clean her house. STFU.
You are so far off the mark.
Facebook
HARFORD COUNTY — Three senior level administrators no longer work at Harford Community College (HCC) after using official e-mail accounts to “speculate” about the “employment status” of lower level employees at the institution amidst an era of unprecedented turnover at the institution.
The Cecil Whig and The Bargaineer have obtained a recent e-mail from HCC President Dr. Dianna Phillips to HCC employees confirming that the administrators were let go. Reporters also obtained a copy of the e-mail between administrators that clearly showcased what a former employee called a “hit list.”
Documents show the staffers were: Senior Associate Vice President for Administration Kathleen “Katie” Callan, Director of Finance Beth Fetcho, and Vice President of Marketing, Development and Community Relations Brenda Morrison.
“On Friday, January 3, 2020, I learned of an incident involving three senior-level administrators who made improper use of their official College email accounts to speculate about the employment status of various Harford Community College employees,” read the letter. “I immediately launched an investigation, which has now concluded. Effective immediately, these administrators no longer work at the College. The details of their separation are a personnel matter, I am unable to comment further.”
Phillips went on to say that HCC expects all employees, “particularly our leaders,” to hold themselves to the “highest level” of personal and professional integrity.
“We do not condone behavior that conflicts the College’s values,” the e-mail read. “As the anchor institution for higher education in Harford County, we take seriously our mission to foster growth and achievement among our students, our employees, and our community; we look forward to continuing and building upon this important work for many years to come.”
Reporters called several departments, including human resources and public relations, at HCC for comment. Calls were not returned by press time.
A toxic work environment
Former employees and others believe the administrative leadership has given way to a hostile work environment, as well as unwise expenditures and unethical behavior.
@Sue Me:
Your lack of critical thinking skills are showing.
Yes, it is true that places are reopening, but have you also noticed that safety measures have been put into place? Plexiglass barriers, workers wearing gloves and masks, hand sanitizing station, cart disinfectant wipes, signs everywhere (that most people can’t be bothered to follow, I might add). All measures put in, to try to help slow the spread of Covid-19. Yes, these workers come into contact with the public constantly, but are they cooped up with 30 – 40 of them in a 20′ x 20′ room with poor ventilation for at least 80 minutes each day, times three? (Four if they have to cover a class due to a sub shortage?)
Prior to HCPS saying that they would be going virtual for the first semester, there was NO information given to the teachers about PPE. Was the system going to pay for the masks? The sanitizers? The same protections that are currently up in public places? Or, were teachers, yet again, expected to rely on parent donations and then making up the shortcomings out of their own pockets?
But instead of stepping up as a community member, and asking what you can do to help keep children safe and their teachers, and their learning environment, it’s just easier for you to bash teachers.
Whoa there tiger, lets just give families of k-12 students a voucher for say 13 grand(less than what is currently paid per student) and then they can choose where to send their kids. If they want online education then they can pick the public model, but I bet quite a few privately run institutions spring up to service the in person demand. Teachers could even choose to run a small school at their own house and get paid directly through the parents voucher. Maybe we shouldn’t view this pandemic as an obstacle but more as a chance to change the current educational paradigm from massive state run institutions to smaller more adaptable education venues run by local educators where parents can choose who educates their children. Maybe eliminating all the overhead of running school buildings, central offices, and sports teams will allow publicly funded education to thrive and return the educational process to the educator and the student!
Not only am I now teaching part time at an already part time job, but I’m getting a nice fat raise to the tune of about 250 bucks a month. My husband is also a teacher. So that’s another 250. AND we don’t have to send our kids to daycare while we “teach” from home, so that saves us another 500 a month. We don’t have to drive to work, so that’s another hundred bucks a month EACH. We got 1200 each from the feds, plus 600 for each kid. So by the time we go back to school in the second semester, we’ll be up about 11 thousand bucks!!
Plus…come next June, we’ll have another summer off AND another year towards retirement down!!
So keep thinking about this and realize that all your comments about getting your taxes refunded, about getting vouchers…IT’S ALL A PIPE DREAM!!! But every one of my 11,000 dollars is real, cold, hard cash!
Now let that eat at ya!!!
I finally figure you out! You are trying to recruit more teachers. Now I get it and you might actually get some new recruits as long as teaching is done online. However, there is NO amount of money anyone could pay me to deal with teenagers of today.
The kids are no problem. They’re awesome. The kids that are difficult to deal with are a joy to work with; so rewarding when you get through to them and help them move in the right direction.
It’s the admin that’s destroying the profession. That’s why good people leave the profession.
You couldn’t help anyone with anything because you are NOT a teacher. You’re a fool and if you think anyone is buying your routine you’re an idiot.
Sure am. 29 years and counting. One more to go, then retirement!
It means so much to me that you care.
I believe that like I believe in the Tooth Fairy. The only thing you could teach the kids is how to be a complete moron. You have been on here using multiple personalities and are obviously a schizto. You need to seek help with this. How can you be such a fake POS and actually expect anyone to believe the horse shit that you type? Teachers from Harford County have been on here for years complaining about not getting raises and being overworked, yet you want everyone to believe you’re getting the pinnacle of allowable salary and are just relaxing collecting a pay check. You are just a psychotic nut farmer….with Darlington Diarrhea.
So don’t believe me. I’ll live.
As far as the multiple personalities…got no idea what that is referring to but again, I’ll live.
You are certainly welcome to check my salary numbers if you think I’m exaggerating. How I would be at all aware of that without being a teacher is beyond me. I would think the number of non-teachers that read the Negotiated Agreement are pretty slim, as it is pretty dull stuff, especially if it doesn’t pertain to you.
Teaching doesn’t pay too bad once you’re in the system for a pretty good while; not so good when you’re younger, especially if you’re loaded up with student loans, and especially bad if they keep taking your step increases away. I wasn’t effected by any of those because I was already topped out when they happened. I never brought up being overworked because the workload wasn’t the topic of conversation.
Sounds like you’re a little psychotic yourself!!
It speaks for itself:
Moreover, as Liz Harrington at Townhall reports, “Twenty-two European countries reopened their schools back in May, and it did not cause ‘any significant increase in coronavirus infections among children, parents, or staff.’ ” Scientific studies have been conducted in Germany, Ireland, and France that independently reached the same conclusion. The fear-mongering by teachers’ unions and Biden is about politics rather than science, as Dr. Scott Atlas of the Hoover Institution recently reiterated in an interview with KUSI News:
We know it’s factually true and proven all over the world that people under 18 have very little, if any, risk.… The data is clear. Whether it’s from Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Spain, the United States, Asia, all over the world.… Children almost never transmit the disease. In fact, Switzerland is contemplating stopping even testing children because it’s irrelevant.
Trying to convince a leftist with evidence is like trying to convince a true believer that Jesus wasn’t the son of God. Lefties hate Christianity but believe the message of their anointed with more fervor than any church goer I have talked to.
I do believe a giant red pill is coming their way though.
Does that bother you? GOOD! Keep thinking about it and let it really eat at you. You’ve earned it!
We have 70,000 new cases everyday Germany had 360. You must be a product of a failed educational system.
Joe Friday, Actually Germany had about 2000 per day when they opened schools on April 20th…
We had 2000 dead per day in April. I know you have a point in there somewhere
Nope your right about Germany being much less, but they did open. Would be interested to see positive test rates but I don’t feel like digging for it.
I have never heard of Liz Harrington until I looked her up. Regardless of her political affiliation, and because I try too look at both sides of the issue, I looked for the article where you drew your information, and also, went straight to Liz’s sources as well.
You neglect to mention, Sue Me, that in those 22 countries that allowed children to go back to school, that the cases of Covid-19 were DOWN, which is what drove the decision. (Although, interesting note, cases are going back UP in Germany, in which they are looking at another lockdown.)
Therein lies the problem.
Those countries had stricter lockdown procedures when they first went under lockdown, and because their citizens actually heeded them, stayed in place unless absolutely necessary, and then wore masks and socially distanced.
In the US, the cases are UP. If the trend was going DOWN, as a parent, I would also be angry that the schools aren’t reopening.
Recent studies out of the University and Texas, University of Pittsburgh, Boston University, and the Mayo Clinic all concur that children are less likely to get sick from Covid-19, but are asymptomatic carriers that can pass on the disease to others. IF you can get children to wash their hands frequently, wear masks, and social distance, then it isn’t an issue. Kids also learn from their parents, and mimic their parents attitudes, and if the parents don’t wear masks, or follow the CDC guidelines, how do you expect schools to do so? Once you start packing people in close quarters again, you’re going to get more outbreaks.
So again, I ask, where are all the adults going to come from, to keep student’s learning going, when the teachers and staff get sick? Adults who will actually follow sub plans, and to try to keep the kids learning? Will the parents of Harford County step up and volunteer?
Look at the cases in those European countries that opened up schools…they didn’t have 50,000+ new cases each day like we do. So that comparison makes no sense. Maybe they had a federal government that put a national prevention plan into effect instead of the wild wild west and they have it “under control” and can open up schools. Your ignorance and bias is really showing. But typical…pass the buck attitude.
In Harford county 57% of every tax dollar goes toward education , Since when have teachers become more important than.
Healthcare workers Doctors, Nurses ,Senior living employees.
Police, Firefighters , Public works employees.
The private sector has been hit the hardest but yet we are all still working and making less!
How about we cut the teachers and ivory tower administrators salary in half since the don’t want to work!
Guarantee the schools would open up immediately!
Bright side is american youth gets a break from the liberal indoctrination from those who teach!
And, I still get paid. And, I’m getting a raise this year even as I teach from home and can keep my kids out of day care saving even more money. And, I got my money from the fed for myself, my husband, and both kids. And, my husband is a teacher who is also getting a raise. By the time we have to actually go back to work in January, we’ll have saved about 11,000 dollars! And, just a few months later we get another paid summer off, and the entire year counts in full towards our retirement with a full pension!
So you just keep all this mind while you fantasize about cutting teachers salaries and all that other nonsense….all the money and all the free time snd all my time off and all my salary increases are REAL. And all ypu can do is dream about finding a way to stop it. But you can’t.
So let that get way down deep in your mind and let it really eat at you!
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. Pay decreases have hit State employees due to revenue decreases brought on by the Coronavirus shutdowns. This is the product of the Democratic Traitors Against America and their continued use of this “pandemic” to slow the economy for political purposes has finally effected their most loyal base, the government employees. If you think for one minute Harford County will have to give anyone a raise during all this then you are the biggest idiot on the Dagger….http://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-pol-budget-cuts-20200625-ajkxyynui5ernjizexkcjnalqi-story.html
Really? I guess you missed it back in May when the county exec fully funded the HCPS budget, which included step increases and percentage increases for all teachers across the board. In fact, I already received my annual salary notification from HCPS and it included every last penny of salary increase that you deny exists.
Let that eat at you!!!
You’re an idiot. If there is a decrease in funding STATEWIDE you won’t get those promised raises. Sorry, but you can’t bleed a turnip….
Hahaha!!! You jackass!! The money has already been funded!!!! I’ve received my assignment and salary verification already!! Might not get anything next year…but certainly won’t get a pay CUT! This question has already been asked and answered a thousand times by HCEA and HCPS…the entire budget has already been accounted for, and raises and benefits fully funded!!!
Keep telling yourself it ain’t happening, and I’ll keep adding those dollars to my bank account!!!
Whatever, I don’t think you’re a teacher.
“And, just a few months later we get another paid summer off”
The public school system in Harford County doesn’t pay 10 month employees over the summer. They stopped the practice years back. Almost all teachers are 10 month employees. You can opt to do a summer savings plan, but HCPS doesn’t pay you during July and the first 2 pay periods in August unless you work extra days during that time period.
Not a big fan or defender of those few who now post on here on a regular basis, but I call them like I see them.
Sure, that’s one way of looking at it. Or you can say that I receive an annual salary. Whether they pay it over 12 months, 10 months, 6 months, or one lump sum, it’s all the same. If I use a summer savings account to keep it flowing through summer, it comes out the same as if I don’t, but if I move a bundle from my summer savings to my checking account, my cash flow never changes.
So ok. I don’t get paid for the summer. I just get paid a full years salary during the ten months before the school system gives me a few months off.
Better?
SoulCrusher (sounds like a name chosen by someone who’s overcompensating for something!)-
You don’t think I’m a teacher? Well. That is sure going to keep me awake all night. What can I possibly do to convince you? Your opinion is so vitally important to me.
You just ask yourself how it is I know so much about the teacher contract and salary disbursements. And envy the fact that I’m looking at a nice windfall while you dream of a world where it’s just not so.
I think “Balls and Strikes” already struck you down as a phony. I don’t need to take it further….
Struck me down as a phony? Yep. Lots of people out there pretending to be teachers. It’s all the rage!
But you’re right. I don’t get paid in summer. Instead, I have to set up a summer savings account for HCPS to send a portion of my annual salary, and set up disbursements every two weeks starting each July. It’s a real inconvenience, to be sure!
Hey…if you don’t think I’m a teacher, that’s ok. But try this: Go to the HCPS site and find the Negotiated Agreement. It’s under Staff/Human Resources/Employee Benefits. Open it up and go all the way to page 63 where it shows the “Salary Schedule for Certified Teachers”. Now, look at the 2nd column from the right, the one labled “Master’s Degree Plus 30 Hours with Professional Certificate”. Now, go to the bottom number…$81,489. That’s me! But wait…there’s more! See the first sentence underneath where it says about teachers who have 60+ hours on top of the masters degree get a $3000 bonus? That’s me too! But that’s not all! See where it says “Teachers who have completed 19, 24, 29 years…will receive $2000 longevity increments? This year is year 30 for me, so that’s…let’s see here…$6,000 MORE!!
So…base salary $81,489, plus $3,000, plus $6,000…$90,489!!! And that’s not including the 3% payraise I’m getting! Now…times it by two and my husband and are pulling down a nice 180k, got our checks from the fed because we packed our 457’s and got below the threshold, and after this year where we don’t even have to go to school until January, we’re both eligible to retire with full pensions!
Yeah…sucks having to give myself biweekly disbursements out of a savings account the school system loaded up for me, while I relax all summer. I know it’s not the same having paid time off, but damn, if it doesn’t feel just like it!!! Don’t worry though…I also get sick leave and personal days. THAT is paid time off!!!!
I don’t believe you one bit. I read your comments and you seem to be the same moron that was chastising me a week ago. Your writing style betrays you…
You don’t believe me? I”ll get over it.
Hard to believe anyone would chastise you. Whoever it was, they must have been extremely intelligent if they had a similar writing style.
You are aware that people who think they are extremely intelligent are normally narcissistic and are prone to spelling “Dream” with “Dresm”. You’re not a teacher. I don’t know what you are but you are definitely not a teacher…
Just for the record, if you were a teacher then you’d at least know how to use the spell checker included with just about every electronic device available today. “Dresm”. What a moron….
Ooh…ouch! Boy, you realy knpw how to hrut somseone felings!!
I’m way better at working with numbers. $90,000 for 10 months of work. That’s $9000 a month. $7500 a month if you want to go 12 month. Or, if you want to do it by the 26 paychecks I get (including disbursements from summer savings) it’s $3461.44 each.
Nubmrse are so mcuh more fun!!!
No one believes you are a teacher. No one believes anything you say. I personally believe you use multiple personalities on the Dagger and are a complete schitzo. I don’t think you know if you are a man or a woman and I also believe you have diarrhea in Darlington.
Haha!!!
Dream on, my friend!!!
*burp*…sorry been drinkin!
Another idiot comment by the imitator..
Moniker theft! Moniker theft!!
Oh, when will it ever end!!
You can use my Moniker whenever you like, but it won’t change the fact that NO ONE will believe you are the Crusher of Souls. You just don’t have the testicular fortitude to be me.
Boop boop deet woot…
Anyone have some advice on how to get a toy car out of my butt?
Two more comments from an imitator who can’t be his own person. However, in regards to your last comment, I’ve heard that if you have someone reach down your throat far enough they will be able to get that toy car out. Other than that, you may have to refer to the Jackass Movie where you saw that in the first place…moron.
Takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to act threatening on an anonymous internet thread.
There was no threat in what I typed. Go find your “safe space” and hide there if you want to…
Like the way the Dagger is your safe space? Yeah…certainly is safe to act like a tough guy from the anonymous comfort of your mommy’s basement.
It’s an upstairs bedroom, moron. Get it right or don’t get it at all.
SoulCrusher, thank you for the oregano seasoning you provide to the discussion. I had herpes, but my foot is in the dryer!!!!
Not one iota of your comment makes any sense what so ever. Oregano seasoning?? Seriously, are you a complete idiot or what? You had herpes, but your foot is in the dryer? WTF is that supposed to mean? I think you got some serious shit going on upstairs and if you think what you typed was amusing, then let me remind you that if you had herpes, you still got it because that shit is like luggage and you carry it with you where ever you go. There is no cure for that and there is no cure for the complete and utter BS that you type…
I think you’re sexy.
But there’s nothing quite like diarrhea in Darlington, Boot!
Well, drippity doo daa to you then oh mighty queen of diarrhea in Darlington…
Hey Bulson,
Are you going to be teaching our kids exactly how Democrats feel about white people and their kids.
The Democrat National Committee draft platform for its 2020 convention mentions “whites” a total of 15 times, each of them within a “damning” context — a detail first noticed by the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard.
It still reveals how ugly the Democrat Party has become and how ugly and divisive the future will be, should this approach to national politics ever prevail.
He adds, “In most mentions, the reference is to how whites are better off at the expense of others. And the promise often is to ‘close the gap’ between minorities and whites, though no solutions are offered.”
Bedard includes each of the 15 times whites are mentioned in the draft platform, a platform Joe Biden will certainly embrace when he accepts the presidential nomination later this year. Included in the 15 is an attack on the American military as racist and the not-subtle libel that white prosperity is hurting other racial minorities.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/dnc-platform-mentions-whites-15-times-all-damning
Yeah, Funny how the party that condemns white people has a candidate who is nothing but an old, white bureaucrat that took part in and made virtually all the policy that blacks are complaining about right NOW! For ANY black to look at a man like BIDEN as the hope and future of the Democrat Party shows just how brainwashed and ignorant they really are. Trump had black unemployment at ALL TIME LOWS, yet somehow the Democrats have mustered the war cry that he is a racist that will do them harm. The Democratic Party is the party of division and ignorance, yet in this State those whom suffer the most harm from the Democratic Traitors Against America seem to embrace the party even more. There isn’t ANY policy the Democrats believe in that is lawful or Constitutional. They literally want to “get rid” of the Constitution, yet the Constitution is what keeps us free. They want everyone to give up their rights and then claim it is to keep society “safe”. It’s nothing but a con and to be a Democrat in this day and age is to be a traitor against the United States.
Joe Biden is dreamy.
Next you’ll be saying Joe Biden is creamy. Are you the woman he supposedly fondled in the Capitol? I don’t believe Joe did that either. However, I understand that you had a herpes flare up so you put your foot in the dryer….complete nut ball psychotic lunatic.
