OCEAN CITY, Md. - Ocean City police investigated this week after a large, vulgar sign targeting Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was displayed on the Ocean City Boardwalk. (Tweet) Photos show the sign with profanity and hateful messages directed toward the governor. Ocean City police said in a post that they are "aware of the large sign being displayed on the boardwalk regarding Governor Hogan. The City Solicitor and the Worcester County States Attorneys Office have been consulted. Unfortunately, the sign (including the profanity) is freedom of speech.

let's not get carried with this "freedom of speech" thing. there are limits to speech which surpass the boundaries of good conduct and proper civil discourse. the democrats have pushed these freedoms to the limit of civility and have promoted this kind of rhetoric to establish some kind of argument that our President is not a proper 1.) human being and 2.) not fit to be President. the age of slander as a mechanism for dialogue is upon us and it's only going to get worse. thank you, democrat, past Supreme Court justices, for nothing.

Keep in mind that the boardwalk in Ocean City is one of the world’s biggest freak shows. I used to have an annual business gig there every June and one year, on a lunch break I was out on the boardwalk and got caught between 2 gangs of feral blacks who were about to start in on each other. I’m here today, unhurt, because there were police in the immediate area who broke it up before it got bad.

For those who don’t know, the sign is just another bratty attempt to outrage average people by using sex talk characteristic of a mid-adolescent level of sophistication. The sign in the picture offered Gov. Hogan a Lewinsky with one of their males. If the message is any measure I’d put it’s creators at about 16.

#5 it included the sometimes nickname for Richard and also one of the worst of the 7 words that at one time were never uttered in public. Hiding behind Freedom of Speech is absurd.

Hogan is a never Trumper which is how he became the governor. If he were a REAL Republican, his chance of gaining any political position in the Peoples Republic of Maryland would be slim to none and slim left town. Way too many people in Maryland rely on either a government job, or government handouts.

Since "Democrat" wasn't mentioned in the first few sentences of the article or the headline, I'm pretty sure the fine, sweet, governor is a ... democrat.

The issue is not whether profanity is good or bad speech. The issue is whether we want the state empowered to police it. I do not. George Carlin's seven dirty words were not to be said on television because the government regulated public speech on television networks. Was that a good thing? In some ways: it was a better, more respectful culture. But I do not want the government deciding what citizens can say, particularly when it comes to criticism of public officials. Who decides? Which bureaucrats will we cede that responsibility to? This site has shown that it is perfectly possible to direct the discourse into civility. I prefer it. But lucianne.com is a private site, and we are all voluntary participants. In 20 years, I've only been Taste Policed once. (For the record, they were right. However, I still think it was a funny comment, and it was worth it.)

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene pushed a baseless rumor on Sunday about the Texas elementary school massacre, positing without evidence that the gunman was into "cross-dressing." Greene was speaking during a live Facebook broadcast, where she referenced the school shooting at the Robb Elementary School, during which 21 people, including 19 children, were killed. "He clearly had a lot of mental issues going on, as was shown with him wearing eyeliner, cross-dressing, a lot of his language, being a loner," Greene said, adding that more information was still coming out about the school shooter.

This past week our nation saw another morally lost young man enter a local school and proceed to shoot and kill 19 children and two teachers. The next shoe to drop was as predictable as the sunrise: Our nation’s elites rushed to their respective podiums to score political points. Their solution? Remove the personal rights of all law-abiding Americans and replace these rights with more laws. In the minds of our country’s political class, this is the only solution.

Back in 1988, scientists in London almost seem to have had a crystal ball. Writing in the International Journal of Epidemiology, they made a bold – and surprisingly prescient – prediction about monkeypox: Over time, "the average magnitude and duration of monkeypox epidemics will increase," they wrote. At the time, monkeypox was an extremely rare disease. Health-care workers detected only a few cases a year in West and Central Africa. People caught the disease almost exclusively from rodents or primates and then spread the virus to only a few people. Transmission between people was limited. But the foresighted scientists warned that, over

It's no secret that the average new car is awfully heavy. That's because the average new car is usually a crossover, SUV, or pickup truck, and as battery power becomes more prominent, that problem won't be remedied right away. This causes issues on more than a couple of fronts, namely pedestrian safety and infrastructure. Some Washington D.C. council members are looking for a way to mitigate large vehicles' impacts on both by proposing that anyone with a car or truck weighing over 6,000 pounds pay $500 annually. As Bloomberg reports, that's roughly seven times the normal registration fee for, say

Embattled GOP Rep. Liz Cheney is down 30 points in a new survey of her August primary conducted by the Club for Growth, which is backing her opponent. The poll, which provides perhaps the starkest illustration yet of the political peril Cheney faces this year, shows Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman garnering 56 percent of the vote to the incumbent’s 26 percent in the GOP primary. A third Republican got 12 percent support, and just 6 percent are undecided. Hageman was recruited and endorsed by former President Donald Trump in response to Cheney’s vote to impeach him last year alongside nine

Ramos' mother also said that she was unaware that her son had been purchasing the weapons. The teen purchased two AR-15 style rifles

A new WPIX/Emerson College Polling/The Hill poll, published Thursday, shows former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio with only 6 percent after he officially announced a run last Friday for New York’s 10th Congressional District. The poll is particularly bruising given that the former two-term mayor left office only last year and the district is comprised entirely of his former constituents. The poll found that nearly 7 percent of those surveyed support Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY) and 5 percent support New York State Assembly Member Yuh-Line Niou.

President Biden will sign an executive order on Wednesday requiring new use-of-force rules for federal law enforcement and encouraging local police departments to make similar changes. The measure is the product of months of consultations with police professional groups and reform activists. The executive order is the fallback position for the administration after Congress failed to agree last year on a package of reforms dubbed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Senior administration officials say relatives of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, will be present for the signing. Both Floyd and Taylor died during police action — Floyd while in

The move comes in the wake of San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone's announcement earlier this month that he would bar Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion due to her stance on abortion. In naming McElroy, Francis passed over Cordileone, who holds a higher rank.
