Frederick's Forum

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No one is lying.  The experts are clearly right.  The government always has your best interests at heart.  The news media shares nothing but the truth.  “The science” is never influenced by politics.  Masks save lives.  Lockdowns are loving.  Congregations need not gather together for worship.  Everyone who ever said a good thing about Orange Man is a bad person… a domestic terrorist, in fact. Frederick’s Forum gives you all the proof you need this week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Troy talks about the county government adding a bunch of new Government jobs in the middle of this pandemic.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Individuals “unfriending” one another.  Family members no longer speaking to one another.  Activists targeting businesses for closure.  Big Tech shutting down the most significant threat to their monopoly. How do we respond?  Are all situations and circumstances equal?  This, and more, is what we cover on this episode of Frederick’s Forum. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The challenges are at every level: global, national, and local.  What can be done to effect change against such a monster?  Fortunately there are, believe it or not, immediate solutions with far reaching impact.  There are things you can do.  And that’s what’s crucial… things YOU can do. This week’s Forum addresses the problem and then advances the case for 8 very specific things to be done by you as an individual.  These are 8 things that all people who love their family, love their neighbor, love their church, and love their country can (and should) do beginning asap. Hope exists.  Purpose for your life awaits.  You can participate in the victory. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Judges and justices, local and national politicians, paying for college, individual wealth and income…  They’re all conneceted in an important way.  The Forum will talk about it. Plus, the Forum tackles the election morass and other things that just ain’t right. It’s always the fastest sixty minutes in radio as we make the Forum great again.  #MFGA See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Remember when Halloween was our only crazy day of the year?  The non-stop craziness of life in 2020 seems impossible to solve.  But this week on The Forum we answer all the questions.  Yep.  All of them.  (Well, okay… a lot of them.)  One at a time.  Simple and foolproof answers. Power hungry politicians?  The illusion of unseen threats?  Punitive economic decisions?  Runaway taxation?  Oppressive policies ruling the schools?  Trust in public institutions at an all time low?  People being abused?  Dishonest elections?  Obvious censorship and bias?  The attack on liberty and freedom? What are the answers?  After this week’s Forum we’ll all know. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The FCPS Kingpins are still at it. The local oligarchs are still spending YOUR money. It’s become a government of the labor unions, by the labor unions, for the labor unions. Big Brother is watching you.  The socialists never saw a freedom they didn’t yearn to destroy. Law enforcement in the news.  And so much more.  It’s a busy, busy show.

This week's show was a "Best Of" compilation See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Troy a Radical? You decide. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  The Forum will cover (among other things) new laws in Maryland, changes in the local school boards of Frederick and Washington County (as well as changes among our State Delegates), and unfortunately the lots and lots of Corona Virus updates… with pretty much every story requiring citizens to awaken from our collective stupor and bravely take our lives back. The elected kings, queens, and overlords continue to tease about letting you out of the shackles with which they’ve bound you.  They claim that they are fixing things, the very things that are broken only due to the oligarchs own actions.  What’s more they are attempting to fix your things, they things THEY broke, using YOUR money and the lunch money they shook from the pockets of your friends.

In light of Saturday’s rally (starting in Middletown and ending on downtown Frederick), the Forum digs into the issues surrounding the national election in November.  This is your chance to learn if our Frederick’s Forum host is a “never trumper”.  (You might be surprised by what he shares.)  The hour will highlight commentary on Tuesday’s debate performances, as well as the most profound issues at stake in the election.  The show also definitively answers the question, “Did Tuesday’s spectacle change any minds?”  (The answer is “yes”, and this week’s Forum explains why.)  This will be a hot one!  Give it a “five flame” rating on a scale of one to five See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Political polarization did not start with the 2016 election — it’s been gaining momentum for over 20 years. But with the rancor and divisiveness that has been on display in recent years, polarization may have reached its worst level in the United States since the Civil War. Today, many believe that their political adversaries are not simply misguided, but that they are also bad people whose ways of thinking are both dangerous and incomprehensible. As Charles Krauthammer once noted, “Conservatives think Liberals are stupid, Liberals think Conservatives are evil!” The Pew Research Center, which has been measuring political polarization in the United States since 1994, recently found that the average partisan gap has increased from 15 percentage points to 36 points. The United States is disuniting. We’re becoming two Americas angry with the other and distrusting our opposites’ basic humanity and good intentions. This degree of civic rancor threatens our democracy and it’s a trend we must reverse!

A man whose been associated with Frederick County Fire and Rescue for many years is stepping down. Deputy Chief Chip Jewell announced that he’s retiring at the end of December. He started his career as a dispatcher with Frederick County Central Alarm in 1972, and also worked in communications for Montgomery County Fire and Rescue. Jewell also worked for 20 years in the insurance industry as an agent and insurance education instructor.

On May 28, 2019, the Frederick County Council finalized Resolution No. 19-09 establishing the Frederick County Charter Review Commission.  The Charter Review Commission was tasked to review the Charter and make recommendations for any adjustments.  On June 26, 2019, the first meeting was held.  The Commission was asked to complete their work no later than February 28, 2020. Their purpose was to ensure that the Charter is clear in meaning, addresses the needs of contemporary government, and remains a functional, working document that effectively outlines the framework for the efficient operation of County government. The Council selected seven residents of Frederick County to serve as members of the Commission, including one member from each Council District.  The members of the Commission are as follows:  District 1- Paul Gilligan, District 2- Walter Olson, District 3- Stephen Slater (Chair), District 4- John Daniels (Vice Chair), District 5- Dr. April Miller, and At Large- Lisa Jarosinski and Dylan Diggs.
