Wes Moore Faces More Questions About His
Military Service

Original Article

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is facing fresh allegations of having exaggerated his military experience, after a yearlong Spotlight on Maryland investigation yielded “no documentary evidence” to support his claim of having “led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan.” (Snip) In a May 2022 post on X, Moore wrote, “When I was an Army captain and led soldiers into combat in Afghanistan, we lived by a simple principle: Leave no one behind.” (Snip) According to the Sun, “Military records reviewed by Spotlight show no evidence that Moore, a lieutenant assigned as a brigade headquarters staff officer, experienced firefights in Afghanistan as his public narrative conveys.”

Comments:

My incompetent, devious governor. We will never get a good governor in Maryland, given the large population of government workers and demographics. Moore has no qualities to recommend him except a smile, his skin color, and slick talk. But some Dems think he would make a good president, and he agrees.

Uh, sir, uh, Captain Wes, the phrase you're looking for has always been, "Leave no MAN behind," except for one large voting block in the Democrat base where it gets transformed into, "Leave no man's behind."

Those of us in Maryland who are paying attention don't give a rat's rear end about Moore's military service. We just want him gone. While the media's focus is on California and it's descending into hell, Maryland is getting there faster. Half the state votes Republican, but because of the gerrymandering, there is one Republican representative from Maryland. The fees for everything have doubled, and they were high to begin with. The state has at least a three-billion-dollar deficit which when Moore ended office there was a two-billion-dollar surplus. The state's sheriffs are up in arms about the don't help ICE bill that was passed. We have a bridge to nowhere which now is going to cost twice as much to build and take at least two years longer to complete than forecasted. The idiots in Moore's office fired the contractor that was doing the beginning fazes of the bridge. Why? No explanation has ever been released. We just assume that the kickbacks that the contractor gave wasn't enough. The demosluts love the guy, because he is the second coming of Obozo.

#4: Buttigieg had a similar motto: "Never leave your buddies' behind!" #7: Apparently, Moore went into the men's room, and another couple of soldiers went in right behind him. It was written up that he "led" those men into a hostile (smelling) environment

geez. I will never understand the need to be some kind of war hero. As a Nam veteran, who Charlie apparently didn't see as enough of a threat to engage.,I thank God I came home in one piece. Thousands of American warfighters go into harm's way; those who come home in flag draped boxes gave the ultimate and are the real heroes. Tens of thousands of American men and women offer their services and do incredible things; They get participation medals which get stuffed away and eventually found by progeny who wonder what they are all about because no one wanted to talk about it. Wes, Thank you for your service. You don't need to embellish it.

I give credit to anyone who serves in uniform. Even those on an office staff sometimes get killed by errant missiles or accidents. But relatively few servicemen actually see combat. In this day and age it's easy to confirm actual experiences and expose the liars.

#3 and #15: Exactly! In the rear with the gear. They do vital jobs, but they are not usually in direct combat. Air support, artillery support, naval gunfire support, logistics support, intelligence support, medical support, etc. GRUNT! Everything else is just support. Only infantry can hold ground and take prisoners. There, I said it.

my brother Jim was awarded a Bronze star with a V for valor during the Viet Nam war. He never talked about it, I don't think our parents even knew about it. A couple of years ago, he said something to another brother that he had a Bronze Star and that brother looked into it and sure enough he had. He and a mate had disarmed a grenade launcher that had a dud in it. (I hope I'm explaining this correctly). it could have gone off killing both of them, but they saved a few other soldiers lives by what they did. It's amazing how those who brag about an award that was never deserved and those who got the award never say a thing.

An NBC reporter abruptly pulled her microphone away from a supporter of Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt after he started to discuss in detail what he saw in the city. During the network’s coverage of Tuesday’s primary elections, NBC’s Liz Kreutz interviewed a group of Pratt supporters about the former reality star possibly making it to the November runoff and asked what about his campaign was resonating with them. When one man mentioned Pratt not wanting “human feces to be a part of your life,” and not wanting homeless children outside, she thanked him and ended the interview.

President Trump deserves the gratitude of all American patriots. He has singlehandedly stopped the slide towards chaos that Obama and Biden worked so hard to achieve; he was kneecapped in his first administration by disloyal, treasonous bureaucrats and Democrat Party extremists bent on destroying what generations of Americans have built. Like any other leader, the president is not all-knowing and all-seeing. While most of his supporters enjoy his humor and his readiness to boldly confront our enemies, foreign and domestic, there are times when somebody must speak bluntly to him when he is about to slip on a banana peel. This is one of those times.

Pundits, pollsters, and political insiders had largely failed to account for a powerful bloc of supporters who either stayed quiet about their views or were underestimated entirely — the “silent Trump voter.” Now, a decade later, some are wondering whether that same phenomenon might be happening in the Los Angeles mayoral race.Is there such a thing as the “silent Spencer Pratt voter”?

President Donald Trump keeps delivering the border-security promise that helped return him to the White House. However, when the previous occupant of the Oval Office held the door open for millions, it created several problems. One of them is where to put 'em? The DHS wants more detention space because illegal immigrants can't be processed, held, and quickly removed without beds, staff, transportation, and secure facilities. Transforming empty warehouses into detention centers sounds efficient on paper, especially after years of Biden-era border chaos. Then the plan reaches a small town with a water system, sewer capacity, and residents who still expect the faucet to work when they turn the knob.

The Supreme Court is under attack. It has been under attack for years, almost exclusively from the left. And by “under attack,” I don’t mean the peaceful criticism. I mean everything from challenges to its legitimacy to outright ignoring its rulings to death threats against conservative justices. This began years ago. Chief Justice John Roberts initially responded by trying to stay apolitical and by trying to ignore the criticism. When President Barack Obama called him out during his 2010 State of the Union address, Roberts called the stunt “very troubling.” In the last two decades, that has been the entire extent of his pushback against the left.

Insufferable NeverTrumper John Bolton has worked out a plea deal and will plead guilty to a single count of “illegal retention of sensitive national security documents,” reports far-left CNN. Bolton was originally charged with “eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.” A conviction on any of those counts would’ve meant serious jail time. On this one count, although the penalty is up to five years in prison, the deal apparently comes with Bolton agreeing to plead guilty and pay a fine of $2.25 million without jail time. However, a judge could still sentence the 77-year-old to prison regardless of the plea agreement.

Americans should expect, at a minimum, to have elections that are free and fair, and results that are delivered promptly. But California is taking its laid-back reputation too far, failing to deliver its election results in a timely manner and creating the perception that they are neither free nor fair. Slothful election results have plagued California for years since it made wholesale changes to its election system in 2016. It has mass mail-in ballots that can be counted post-election and allows for an extremely slow pace of counting. Proponents of the system say this makes their elections more “secure” and accessible.

Four Republicans voted with the Democrats: Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett and Warren Davidson. The resolution is likely dead on arrival in the Senate. If it passes the Senate, Trump will veto the resolution.

The scene at the warehouse appeared at odds with the mounting pressure to process hundreds of thousands of remaining ballots. County officials announced Wednesday night that just 77,521 additional ballots had been processed since June 2 election night, but an estimated 713,180 ballots are still outstanding. Yet during The Post’s visit, large sections of the facility appeared lightly staffed. Rows of workstations sat empty.
