On Social Media on Tuesday I said the Left Would Spin the School Shooter to be the Victim

Al Ritter 



This is no longer about the Left and the Right, this has everything to do with what is right and what is wrong in our country.

We knew the left would once again beat the drums for more laws against guns, but this latest stance by Karine Jean-Pierre is absolutely abhorrent. We can only assume she is speaking directly for Joe Biden when she said, “Our Hearts go out to the trans community, as they are under attack right now.”

Who does she really think was under attack?

KJP better get her head on straight, the people under attack in this instance are Christians!

In the very least this a cold unconscionable statement to make after the murder of 6 Christians, and yet the Whitehouse paints the trans community as victims, disgusting.

The Trans community are the aggressors right now and if the government doesn't get things under control there will be bedlam in Washington DC this weekend.

Corrupt Politics is Hard at Work in Baltimore City

Al Ritter


Despite his successful career prosecuting disgraced Baltimore City Mayor Catherine Pugh and Baltimore City Police Commissioner Darryl De Sousa, among other high profile federal cases, Federal Baltimore City State’s prosecutor Leo Wise has been demoted.

After seemingly never ending postponements of the Marilyn Mosby case by an obviously biased liberal District Court Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby has now allowed a new trial date of November 2, 2023.

Marilyn Mosby and her husband Nick have been investigated on many corruption charges and while Marilyn was voted out of office in November 2022 her husband Nick still remains on the Baltimore City Council.

The person that demoted prosecutor Leo Wise is US Attorney Erek Barron who oversees all Federal Cases in Maryland, and who was appointed by Joe Biden in 2021.

I suppose Leo Wise was far too successful in his endeavors to prosecute Mosby, so now the case will be handed over to new inexperienced lawyer, so everyone will be happy, but no justice will be served.

38 Dead in “Migrant” Detention Center

Al Ritter 


In a fire at the Ciudad Juarez Detention center south of El Paso Texas 38 “migrants” died and another 28 were injured.

The fire which the “migrants” themselves started by lighting mattresses on fire to protest the possibility of being deported caused the loss of life.

It is reported that guards were seen walking away from the blaze rather than trying to help release the detainees from their cells.

Video shows two people that appear to be dressed like guards rushed towards the entrance to the facility and attempted to enter only to be forced back by the extreme smoke.

Immigration Groups are rather boisterously condemning the actions of the guards, but one has to wonder if their lives would have been spared had they tried to enter the country legally.

Censorship is Alive and Well at Google

 Al Ritter



Well I have to admit that personally I have never been the victim of censorship until yesterday. I must now be on the radar of Alphabet Inc.

I’ve experienced some articles that have bombed in the past but the article yesterday about Ukraine was off to a great start then it’s as if a light switch got turned off and never came back on. The article never got one more read in the 24 hrs. after.

I’ve read about articles that address basically any of the many failures of the Biden Administration that get thrown into the search engine abyss, but have never experienced it myself.

It’s really sad when citizens address failures of government and the big techs throw those positions to the basement.

Point well learned. I have to be diligent in modifying my article titles to escape the algorithms.

If you are interested in seeing the article maybe they won't find it here:

Ukraine Firing Ammo Faster than it can be Made

 Al Ritter



As I reported before about Biden giving away the ammunitions to Ukraine at an unsustainable rate. Now the situation has become dire. Right now without a major overhaul of munitions productions it would take 13 years to replace the weapons that Biden has given to Ukraine.

Think about that for a minute. If we were attacked anywhere in the world, or if we instigated a war the United States couldn’t defend ourselves for any extended period of time, leaving us basically defenseless.

It takes a month to produce 14,000 rounds of 155mm shells, Ukraine has been firing that many in 48 hours!

This is DANGEROUS! There is nobody to blame for this other than Joe Biden. He has given away the very weapons that we invented and developed to a foreign country that could be easily overrun and then have our technologies in the hands of our enemies.

Biden has also given away our Strategic Oil Reserve to the EU. Oil that originally was to be used by our Military in case of war or national crisis. Lowest point in 40 years thanks to Biden, most certainly exacerbated by Biden’s destruction of the Nordstream pipeline.

These continual failures by the Biden Administration puts America and its people at risk.

I Need a Mathematician’s Help on this One!

 Al Ritter 



Instead of fixing ANY of the problems that he has actually caused such as soaring inflation massive southern invasion, and rising crime, Biden comes up with this latest round of stupidity.

I’m still baffled by this Presidential Memorandum Biden made today. He wants to declare a new National Marine Sanctuary around Hawaii. That in itself isn’t bizarre but the declared area is.

770,000 square miles? Ok I may not be the best in Mathematics but really? If you consider that the International limit is 12 miles wouldn’t that leave you with 64,167 running miles around the islands? Or is he just claiming more of an International Limit?

How can this even be possible without going into international waters? On top of that he wants to place ecologically disastrous windmills in these waters? We have seen time and time again when these wind turbines fail and they spew hundreds of gallon of oil to the ground below? So now he intends this to go into the water?

Studies haven’t even been completed yet as to the danger to Whales, but this doesn’t seem to bother our Mentally Challenged President.

Maybe I’m confused about the square miles thing, would a mathematician please set me straight?

To Leave or Not to Leave, that is the Question

Al Ritter 



Excuse me for bastardizing William Shakespeare but….

“To leave or not to leave, that is the question,

Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of the outrageous left

Or to take arms against a sea of tyranny” 

Sorry didn’t mean to be overly dramatic but the question is for real. I’ve now been on this homestead for longer than my parents ever lived here, and I watched as the political climate has changed, and the encroaching neighbors have become more aggressive and nasty. 

What was once a farming area has now been invaded by young progressive professionals, whose only agenda is to make you bend to their will and wants rather than follow the “live and let live” idea of conservatism. 

They bring with them an air of entitlement and a need to force you to do what they want rather than afford you your God given rights to pursue happiness and be left alone. 

It hurts my heart to abandon the homestead our family has enjoyed since 1943, but each day that goes by my resolve gets greater to leave this horrible Peoples Republic of Maryland. 

When weighing the alternatives my logical mind takes over and I carefully consider options. 

My first thought is to move to Florida the land of the free right now. Then my logical mind takes over and whispers….”DeSantis is on his last term as Governor and unless he’s personally grooming a successor there is no guarantee Florida will stay red. 

Maryland has a rather abusive tax rate, including State Income Tax which Florida doesn’t have, that alone would save me a considerable amount of money a year that I could spend on myself rather than progressive government welfare projects. 

If I had made the move to Florida a few years back I could have sold my property here at a windfall and upgraded in Florida for the same amount of money, but that ship has sailed now as market prices of homes has skyrocketed. 

One great benefit would be not dealing with snow! At my age I am growing weary of cutting firewood and plowing snow in the winter. But the flip side is having to deal with Hurricanes.

I was lured to Delaware once to buy property, and at first the cost of living there was lower, but it didn’t take long (only 7 short years) for that advantage to evaporate. As a result I sold my property at a loss and came back to the homestead full time. 

There are many things to consider, but the financial hardships we endure in Maryland and the ever increasing crime is really making me lean elsewhere. There are days I just want to admit defeat and move on.

There isn't much left for me here anymore, family has died or moved away, and I'm the end of my family line sooooooo. It's sad when you have admit defeat but eventually you aren't a participant in politics but merely a spectator. 

The last day here would truly break my heart and probably put me in a funk for months but it is becoming more and more a possibility.

It’s Immaterial What Residents of Towson and Timonium Want

Al Ritter 



In the late 1980’s at the end of Democratic Governor Donald Schaefer’s term he signed into law the Light Rail System to offer transportation from as far south as Glen Burnie and Anne Arundel County to Timonium Md. In the original charter the Light Rail had to pay for its operational costs with at least 50% of customer fares. That rather modest demand has never been met.

Light Rail has undergone improvements and upgrades since its inception, most notably an extension to Hunt Valley. On any given weekday the three to four car rail train can be seen whizzing by with less than 5 people aboard.

Since 2011 the ridership has steadily declined, but that has never stopped the Democratic legislature from continually throwing more money at a clearly failed project.

Neighborhood residents have constantly complained about increased crime surrounding the Light Rail stops all to no avail. The last stop on the line is Hunt Valley Mall to the north. After an upgrade to the line between the Lutherville-Timonium stop in the last decade the Light Rail was shut down on the last link. Crime and shoplifting had noticeably dropped in that time, only to continue after the link reopened.

The Light Rail transports less than 9,900 people on weekdays on its 30 mile length.

Late last fall the Department of Transportation submitted a plan to put a spur line through the center of an already overly vehicular congested York Rd. The tight confines of the York Rd. corridor would be strained to the max with the addition of two rails in the middle of the road.

This crazy idea worsens when one realizes that something has to go. Buildings are already close to the street and sidewalks are narrow. This doesn’t even address the additional danger for pedestrians and vehicles alike.

A meeting was held at Timonium Fairgrounds in early December 2022. Over 500 people crammed into a small meeting area to voice their dismay at such a project. Only 3 people of the 500 in attendance supported this new spur line. It appeared that the project would be dead.

Enter the First Black Democratic Governor Wes Moore. Although he has never lived in the area in question he included $500 million in his first annual budget for Transportation upgrades. He was an opponent of Gov Hogan’s cancellation of the Red Line which was merely another line similar to the already failed Light Rail.

In recent years Towson has become quite the mecca for attracting crime from farther south. The Movie Theatres along York Rd. along with Towson Towne Center have been the areas for car jackings and even murders.

But Gov Moore seems to think that he knows best and intends to ramrod this project through regardless of what the residents think. He must believe that this already failed line will increase ridership even though bus lines already serve all the areas in question.

The spur will have to be connected to the main line somewhere and also return somewhere. When the State decides to take million dollar homes through eminent domain in Ruxton and Timonium we will see who gets most upset in this idiotic idea.

The only question that remains is which will Gov Moore fund first…..the Red Line or the Towson spur?

I Think it Might be Time for a Divorce

 Al Ritter

In the beginning I was a “Never Trumper,” but as time went on I was seeing the good he was doing for the country and as a result, respected him for it. But even as early as June 2016 I was pretty angry how Trump spread lies about Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin to win the primary.

Now we are seeing his lies surface yet again, and his character assassination has begun once again. Somehow Trump feels that he alone was responsible for Ron DeSantis’s win in his first run for Governor of Florida.

In a recent campaign spot Trump declared, …”Remember this: If It  weren’t (sic) for me Ron Desanctimonious be probably working at a Law Firm or a Pizza Hut I don’t know.”

Further insults arose:…. “I said ‘You are so dead right now you are not going, no endorsement is going to save you. George Washington won’t save you.’ He said, ‘I’m telling you, if you endorse me, I have a chance,’” Trump added.

Vindictive to the point of Character assassination is what Trump does best. I don’t agree with his “win at any cost mantra,” nor will I condone it.



Ron DeSantis hasn’t even thrown his hat into the ring, but I think that Trump has seen enough polls to know that may be a reality soon. Trump must really feel threatened by DeSantis’s popularity to lash out so violently.

I said before that the only way I would vote for Trump is if he won the primary, but with his latest round of lies and smears I am questioning if I would even do that.

Even the staunchest Trump supporter has to realize that his mouth needs a filter. Scorched earth is no way to run a campaign, especially against those in your own party.

Some Days My Predictions Come True

 Al Ritter



My faithful followers that have been with me since the beginning of my blogging career of 20 plus years ago have noticed a few things. Sometimes I have the uncanny ability to foresee certain things that have come to fruition.

Just the other day I was talking to a friend about the continual feeding of our technology in armaments to Ukraine. I expressed concern over when the Ukrainian army gets overrun in a position and don’t have time to retrieve those arms what happens to them?

Well of course that is a rhetorical question, Russia certainly takes possession. Then our technology in is their hands to be reverse engineered and handed off to other countries such as Iran, or China after Russia is done with them.

Well this morning I ran across an article that explains just that.

Is it wise to hand over cutting edge technology to a country that has no chance of winning a war against a giant like Russia? We could be preparing ourselves for yet one more bad decision with Taiwan. Imagine now if Taiwan gets annexed by China all the technology that we just sold to them goes directly in the hands of the Chinese Communist party to be reverse engineered.

Is this smart policy? Personally I don’t think so, but this is just one more failure of the Biden Regime that I saw coming. If one were a logical thinker, I think that even Ray Charles could have seen this coming!

Stop using this Cop’s Death in your Political Chess Game

Al Ritter



The left championed by none other than Joe Biden himself continually spreads misinformation about what actually happened on Jan 6th. Biden continually lies about the “5 officers killed that day.” His number 1 lie is about Officer Brian Sicknick of the Capitol Police who died on Jan 7th one day after the riot on the Capitol.

Biden constantly regurgitates the lie that Sicknick was killed by a blow from a fire extinguisher. To continually say that Sicknick was killed in that fashion is to perpetuate a falsehood already proven to be untrue. Biden also claims that 4 other cops were killed that day, also falsehoods. They died from suicide.

In much the same way, Biden lied about the truck driver that was involved in the accident that killed his first wife, claiming that he was intoxicated. The poor man’s family has to debunk Biden’s lies constantly. The medical examiner’s report said that there was no alcohol present in the truck driver’s blood, but much like Officer Sicknick’s autopsy report, Biden refuses to accept the actual truth and continually claim his opinion of how the officer died. Misinformation (aka Lies) are overly abundant with Joe Biden.

This whole situation is disrespectful of the Medical Examiner’s report, no matter how much Biden and Sicknick’s family want to claim his death was caused by Jan 6th riot the facts rest with the conclusion that his death was from a stroke, not caused by blunt force trauma, or bear spray claimed constantly by the leftist mind set.

What does remain however is the true deaths on that day were Ashli Babbit and Roseanne Boyland. An unarmed Babbit was shot by Michael Byrd of the Capital Police through locked doors that offered no threat to Byrd in the least. His actions were dangerous to surrounding people in fact he could have very easily shot a fellow officer shooting into a crowd. Sadly politics fell into the decision of him not being prosecuted even after the medical examiner ruled her death a murder. Next was Roseanne Boyland who was beaten while unconscious by Officer Lila Morris of the DC Police and died at the scene. As of yet no charges have been filed against her either.

So the fact remains only Boyland and Babbit died that fateful day, murdered by cops.

Should You be Afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

 Al Ritter



Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg have both claimed that AI is coming and you shouldn’t be afraid of it and it will usher in a new wonderful world of technology.

Even though Gates and Zuckerberg back the AI movement, Elon Musk has issued a stern warning about the use of AI. Musk warns that starting AI equates to opening Pandora’s Box, and once open it will be near to impossible to stop.

We have been bombarded with movies such as Terminator that have warned us about certain aspects of Artificial Intelligence.

Well AI is here folks and I don’t mean just some gizmo with goggles that Zuckerberg has made in his Meta Lab. We are talking super computers that are growing in intelligence on a daily basis. Once the original programing was accomplished by humans the computers started learning on their own, and learn they have.

Jordan Peterson the renowned psychologist explains in terms we can understand about how the system has come into its own in just a short time, but he warns that its learning curve will increase exponentially in just 6 months to a year.

Peterson explains that right now it is of normal intelligence factor, but the speed in which it computes is unbelievable.

I would heed a warning from both Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson before I’d ever listen to an endorsement from Gates or Zuckerberg. But listen to the following video and decide for yourself, I personally see this as scary as hell!

They Can’t Even Lie Well

 Al Ritter


As more and more details emerge from Biden’s “surprise” visit to the Ukraine to meet Zelensky, you realize we are being lied to. The Huffington Post claimed initially that Biden (being the average Joe), no pun intended, travelled from Andrews AF Base to the Ukraine on a C-32 straight through.

Later it was claimed that the C-32 stopped in Germany for refueling.

In a recent CNN interview that will be aired tonight Jill Biden said this.. “How many 30-year-olds could travel to Poland, get on the train? Go nine more hours, go to Ukraine, meet with President  Zelensky?”

We have video of Joe Biden falling up the stairs of Air Force One in Poland on his return trip.

Now what are we to really believe?

Did Air Force One fly empty to Poland only to fly Joe home?

Did Joe actually go by train from Poland to the Ukraine? This one seems to be the most ridiculous lie of them all. There isn’t a chance in hell that the Secret Service would EVER allow Biden on a train! There are too many ways to attack a person travelling by train not to mention there would be other people on a train and that would be unsecure.

So what is the real story about Biden’s mode of transportation to and from Ukraine? We will never know, but you can bet on one thing, the stories were are being told are all lies, sprinkled with a tad of truth. Why must they lie about something so innocuous?

Time is Growing Short for us to take Action

Al Ritter


I warned you at the end of last month as to the seriousness of the Treaty with the World Health Organization that would grant them sovereignty over our own Constitution. The Treaty is very close to having a final draft on this Friday.

Many countries have weighed in on their participation in this treaty and have formulated their own amendments to be added. With each add comes more and more restrictions and powers over mandates, vaccine passports and even surveillance initiatives.

In essence it would hand over our god given sovereignty to the UN. The WHO runs under the control of the UN. The WHO is the governance hand of basically the CCP, the very same group that allowed this horrid pandemic to be leveled on the world.

This treaty also mirrors the same ideals that the WEF wants to inflict upon the world.

As I explained in an earlier article, the legal text in the Treaty would circumvent any and all necessary ratification by Congress. THIS BASICALLY GIVES THE DECISION TO JOE BIDEN! Just think for a minute, Biden our cognitively impaired President can sign a document that will virtually erase our rights over most anything they deem as health related.

Before formulating an opinion on your own watch this video to see the extent of this horrid violation of our Constitution. Then please call your congressmen and senators and express your dismay before Biden has a chance to sign this. If he does sign this it should be grounds for not only immediate impeachment, but prosecution for Treason! It doesn’t get any more serious than this!

Biden Hiding Documents on Deals Made with Taliban

 Al Ritter


It’s certainly no secret about the huge failure of the Biden Administration had over the withdrawal from Afghanistan. What hasn’t been known until now is the secret documents that Biden had with the Taliban and has been purposely hiding until now.

The Inspector General of the Pentagon for Afghanistan has now exposed the side deals that Biden made with the Taliban. Included in the side deals were actual rules of engagement by our troops against the Taliban which included no fighting back even if attacked at checkpoints.

Obviously the Taliban didn’t hold their end of the bargain with the loss of the thirteen service members on the final day.

The negotiations that were held and the deals that were made were with the very same five Taliban members that Obama traded for an American traitor in his term, and they had sworn never to take up arms against the US again. Once again another huge failure under the Obama/ Biden alliance. You don’t negotiate with Terrorists Joe, you should formulate a plan to kill them!

Now the Taliban patrol the streets of Afghanistan in HumVees and patrol the air with our aircraft. They have even shown pallets of money they got in the bargain.

Check out this article for a complete inventory of arms and money we left in their hands. The IG is due to make his final report this week!
