It’s time to address the real problem in America; Mental Illness

Al Ritter

If you talk to any mental health professional, they will tell you that Mental Health Issues are on the rise. Contributing to that rise is the accelerated use of dangerous anti-psychotic drugs which in some cases may actually make the problems worse.

One only needs to look at the warning labels for side effects on some of these drugs to see how dangerous they can be. Now add that to the fact that they may be over prescribed and you can see the danger that may exist in society.

In 1968 a Federal Firearms Act passed that kept people who had a medical Marijuana license from being able to purchase firearms, regardless of what State Law said.

Maybe it is time to pass a Mental Health Law that keeps anyone that has been diagnosed with any sort of Mental Health condition including Gender Dysphoria (known in medical terms as “Gender Identity Disorder DSM 4”.)

Lately the classification is now termed “Gender Incongruence and Gender Dysphoria DSM5.”

Is there a correlation in mass shootings and Transgenderism?

It is reported that 40% of successful and would be school shooters identified as Transgender.

I think that is a pretty alarming statistic, and I’m sure if you followed the trend, you would also find a trail of a history of anti-psychotic drug use.

It’s time we stop ignoring the elephant in the room and explore the mental health implications and not just more gun control.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, where are you?

 Al Ritter

2 Years and 5 months since the destruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge and STILL not much has been done. Granted the channel was opened for ship traffic but other than that multiple “studies” and proposals have been offered.

Even the demolition isn’t scheduled to be completed until April 2026!

Initial settlements have been made from the Dali’s owner Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Private Limited for $102 million which doesn’t even cover the cost for debris removal.

The cost to rebuild the bridge was estimated last year at $1.7 to $1.9 billion, which most certainly balloon by 2028.

The owners sited a maritime law the “Limitation of Liability Act of 1851” limits them to only a maximum of $43.7 million (just 2% of the damages)

Now to be fair the Federal DOJ and the Maryland AG are pursuing this still in the court system. But my big point in this is the feet dragging in Maryland for the demolition of the remnants of the bridge almost 2 ½ years since the destruction.

What exactly is Gov Moore waiting for? The Federal Government has secured the debris removal funds both by the President and Congress! The debris removal and the rebuilding has to happen no matter what, but putting the citizens out of their way for over 4 years is totally unacceptable.

Gerrymandering: Only good for the party in power?

 Al Ritter

From 2007-2015 then Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley helped to redraw the 2^nd district of Maryland in a gerrymandering move to make it more “Blue.” It was successful and was even upheld in the court system. This area initially was farm areas but was reconfigured to include parts of the city to make the entire district resemble a snake, quite appropriate if you ask me.

I presently live in district 2 and now my representative is none other than Johnny Olszewski, past County Executive of Baltimore County who turned out to be a miserable failure but has now been elevated to US Congressman through this redistricting.

He has never had the farmer’s interest at heart, instead dedicating his attention to additional section 8 housing along the Light Rail areas that run adjacent to the York Rd Corridor.

Maryland has had a super majority in the legislature for years tilted towards the left. Even when past Republican Governor Larry Hogan vetoed one of the bills, it was over ruled by the super majority.

Ok so that was Maryland for the past 19 or so years. Flash forward to right now in the State of Texas.

Gov. Abbott is seeking to redistrict certain areas of Texas, one of which might eliminate Rep Jasmine Crockett’s seat. Now the Republican Texas Legislature lost its super last November, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do redistricting, and the Democrats are livid!

State legislature Democrats are threatening to leave the state to prevent a quorum on the redistricting vote.Gov. Abbott has threatened to have then arrested and charged if they do so.

This showdown will happen soon, but as you recall they tried this political stunt 4 years ago when they didn’t get their way. It would appear as though this time Gov. Abbott isn’t playing around.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, be careful what you wish for Democrats!
