    Supposedly the gentleman John is backing for his replacement is a retired Marine infantry officer. Here's hoping he's 2A friendly.

    What shame it looks like it will be tough to get him replaced.

    It will be tough to fins another 2A friendly Democrat in that district, so we need to work on getting a 2A friendly Republican elected.

    Astle's senate district overlaps with McMillian's & Busch's house district. Chance for a lot of new RED blood from Edgewater

    We need at least 2 2A friendlies

    Pro-gun Astle's bill to prohibit nighttime hunting with DNR approval makes it out of committee with amendments.

    Pretty amazing how much the Maryland Senate fought over this bill. Also not sure why Senator Conway is so invested in making deer management such an absolute nightmare. She's a Baltimore City senator what does she care?

    Anyway, the bill failed miserably.

    Astle is showing his true Bolshevik colors and came out with an endorsement for Sarah Elfreth. She is a dyed-in-the-wool Commie and our supposed friend has jumped right into bed with him.

    Good riddance, comrade.

    He was always a POS and I never understood anyone treating him otherwise. Just look at his last year in the legislature.

    I also heard that actively tried to cut funding for MSP's Aviation Medivac. Supposedly he was flying for Medstar at the time and they were a competitor. Wouldn't something like that be a conflict of interest? :innocent0

    Hogan endorsing Ron George commercials have been running on Fox for days.
