Manassas & Manassas Park Cities Democratic Committee

On April 18, 2017, we will see the victory of Jacqueline Smith over Jackson Miller to be the Prince William County Clerk of the Court.  Jacqueline is running as someone who has experience with the clerk’s office and clearly recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of the office. Miller’s motivation is simple:  A guaranteed salary of over $154,000.00 per year plus all the benefits.  All of Miller’s altruistic blather over serving…

Oh, yes, Another telephone Town Hall for Comstock.  Nothing in person.  Is she afraid of her constituents?  It’s very cowardly to hug the faceless phone while an assistant screens the questions.  This is truly dereliction of duty and indicates that Comstock has to go. Take a look at her latest votes:  Allowing mentally ill to get access to guns.  Allowing the killing of wild baby animals on public lands.  Cutting the salaries…

What do Trump and his White House crowd have in common?  They are all losers.  And that is why Bannon is so dangerous. Let’s start with Reince Priebus.  Wisconsin lawyer, he has been immersed in GOP politics since returning from University of Miami Law School in 1998 after graduation.  He joined a law firm and subsequently ran for Wisconsin State Senate in 2004.  He lost to the incumbent Democrat.  As…

Last night was the swearing-in ceremony for the recently elected members of the Manassas City Council and the Mayor.  And at this point I want to especially congratulate Pam Sebesky and Mark Wolfe.  Now with Democrat Ken Elston, we now have 3 Democrats on the Council which is historic.  Also, making history is the presence of 2 women on the Council, Pam and Republican Sheryl Bass. In addition to the…

Does anyone else feel like they are living in a parallel universe?   Trump’s hate-filled rhetoric has gone over the edge.  I suspect this is all because it is nearly certain that he will lose and losing doesn’t come easy to Donald.  He is incapable of accepting the fact that he actually might not win so it must be “rigged” against him.   And the only reason, and I mean…

That was a debate?  In the post debate commentary, the general opinion is that Trump did better than expected.  Better than what?  The bar for Trump is so low that anyone with an 8th grade education could meet it.  Of course he was more aggressive and uglier.  He’s losing and as he demands of the African American community:  What does he have to lose?  Absolutely nothing because he is going…

I have to admit that I was anxious about the debate this week.  I almost tuned in to Tiny House Hunters so I didn’t have to watch.  But I did.   I felt like a mother watching her child perform in his or her first school play.  But I was thankfully relieved to see Hillary perform Presidentially.  Nonetheless, it is abundantly clear that Hillary is being held to a much…

Today I had the experience of speaking with a Trump voter.  I don’t know any personally, probably because we all tend to stick with folks who share our views.  But I understand now how Trump has completely buffaloed a certain part of the population.  When asked, the Trump voter revealed that he got his “news” from WMAL talk radio and the internet.  He does not read newspapers because they are…

Just got back from Montreal on a business trip.  Beautiful city with the romantic background of French being spoken but everyone is bilingual.  There was one common thread when anyone learned that I was an American (we can be confused for Canadians), the folks who live in our neighbor to the North think that we are all absolutely nuts letting Trump even get near the White House.  I heard this…

It’s time for our local Republican candidates to share with the voters whether they are supporting, endorsing or voting for Donald Trump.  Of course, we can’t follow they into the voting booth, but our citizens need to know if Jon Way, Ian Lovejoy and Theresa Coates Ellis are Trump supporters or endorsers.  Hal needs to give us his position as well.  The Manassas GOP Committee endorses Trump according to their…
