Let’s make sure we get some good candidates on our BOE!

It’s been a busy week at Yokel Headquarters!

If you’ve been a follower of ours for awhile, you know how concerned we are about this year’s BOE race. We’ll put some nice links at the bottom of this post if you need to catch up. But first, let’s get caught up on some recent news.

Yesterday the FNP posted an article, which made it seem as though the First Rate Hate Slate was out fundraising everyone.

https://www.fredericknewspost.com/news/continuing_coverage/election_coverage/school-board-candidate-slate-outpaces-others-in-funding/article_cb673722-19f9-5dc5-89a2-9c5fa8cbf64a.html

Some things that this article fails to point is that if you divided the hate slate’s money by 4 they aren’t doing as well as some of our favored candidates. Also, an interested reader analyzed the numbers for us and discovered that over 70% of the donations come from about 20 people including themselves and family members. But since every race seems to be a cash race, we would be amiss if we didn’t remind you to donate and volunteer for some of our good candidates. We borrowed this graphic from the Frederick Democrats to make it all nice and easy for everyone:

If you’ve been long time readers you also know that the blog Wonkette was one of our sources of inspiration for this blog. So today, when this story came across our feed we couldn’t help but start connecting the dots.

https://www.wonkette.com/moms-for-liberty-leader-wistfully-shares-dream-of-gunning-down-librarians?fbclid=IwAR1cW7BzXg_zEHilH76cOelCDU06zrsbSLxvWCEutEePJ5XK0i7C8FocHEY

Here’s our favorite quote from that post (but be sure to read it all for yourself!):

But books are not the only thing Bosch wants to destroy! In leaked audio of a recent Moms For Liberty meeting in Lonoke County, Arkansas, Bosch is heard complaining about a school librarian she felt did not offer her enough deference when she came in to complain about books. “I’m telling you, if I was — any mental issues, they would all be plowed down with a freaking gun by now,” Bosch said, before describing herself as a patient person.

Hmmm! Let’s see here……..who is running for school board and had a hissy fit over a Pride display? And wasn’t there another candidate running as a Moms For Liberty candidate?

Who could it be?
Oh yeah! Let’s not forget about our second rate hate slate! April Montgomery, Heather Fletcher, and Tiffany Noble. (not pictured: Ashley Nieves)

And now for those promised links:

Let’s revisit our election reporting!!!
We can do something! Local elections matter and have consequences.
Sound the alarm: be sure *independent & unaffiliated* voters know to vote in the primary July 19, 2022 (early voting the 7th – 14th)
And don’t forget to tell all your unaffiliated friends they can vote in the BOE primary.

There’s quite a few of you who should be ashamed of yourselves!

A list of who not to vote for this year!

You think it’s a joke, just keep reading!

Last night we posted this “press release” on our Facebook page:

It’s the same scare tactics people in Florida have used in order to abuse and erase the LBGTQ+ community. These kinds of folks know they can’t win on their own merit, so they tell falsehoods and make bigoted scare-tactic remarks to rile people up so they can win. More of our local terrible characters followed suit and also posted their objections on social media:

How can he state parents won’t know about it when it’s clearly in the printed curriculum available for all to see? And firearm health class?

And lest us not forget the most horrible slate of candidates:

Wrong! These changes are state-mandated. And when will they learn how to use quotes correctly?

So we have a nice little family-life advisory council here in Frederick. Helpful people volunteer their time to go over these materials and make recommendations to FCPS. (Read all about them here). Well, this evening they had a meeting and apparently the worst humanity has to offer heeded the call of these above mentioned nincompoops and just look what happened:

Color us surprised about Cindy! Sorry Tarolyn she doesn’t feel any shame!

And then things got worse for our nice volunteers:

What a bunch of ugly, hateful, ignorant bottom-feeders we have walking amongst us. And they all came out due to the above mentioned office seekers who know they can’t win on their own policies or merits. Let’s repeat their names so we all know who to eliminate come July:

Daniel L.Cox

Cindy Rose

Nancy Allen

Mark Joannides

Olivia Angolia

April Miller

April Montgomery

Tiffany Noble

Ashley Nieves

Let all your friends and neighbors know what happens to our nice community when folks like this let their lies and vitriol fly. We have no place in our elected offices for people like this. And thank you to the advisory committee who had to put up with this tonight. We stand behind you.

It’s public hearing time, budget edition.

Grab your agenda, and hold onto your liver. Tonight both the Board of Education and the Frederick County FY 2020 budgets are the topics.

This is your chance to go and speak your piece. We can’t wait to hear all the legitimate well thought out commenters. Just pick your favorite beer and drink whenever someone says something uninformed.

Don’t force us to use this in reference to you.

Hydrate, people!

We hope you have a big jug of water by your side all day today. Drink often. You’ll need to be fully hydrated ahead of tonight’s meeting. Grab your agenda and get ready for what could be a long one.

First up are two budget items. If Billy continues to gripe about not having enough staff before abstaining on his vote, swig back a bitchy bellini.

Next up are approval of minutes and an appointment confirmation. This will be followed by public hearing on the proposed sale of a county owned building. Serve yourself a Harvey Wallbanger just because.

Three Third Readings are on the agenda next. They all involve human trafficking. When short timer and “both sides” council member Shreve says anything dumb mix yourself a man of war.

It’s break time! Hydrate with more water. Your liver needs it.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Re: Amended Bill No. 18-25 – Impartiality of Planning Commission and Board of Appeals MembersAn Amendment to: clarify the matters and proceedings to which the Bill applies. This is about as confusing as the infamous flow chart. Bob is always mired in these insane ramblings.

First up after the break are several public hearings. Things could get testy. Steel your nerves with a bourbon pumpkin smash. Tony is up first with his perhaps personal vendetta led impartiality bill. Next up are some high adjustments to the fy2019 budget. This would move up the Oakdale Middle School addition,  move up the design approval for a new east county elementary school, and move up the modernization/addition project at Brunswick High School. Drink an appletini to celebrate if all 3 are approved.

Last up for discussion is a budget item which involves lots of wins for fire/safety in Frederick County. Celebrate with a fire engine.

The meeting will end with council member comments. We are sure we won’t even care what Shrevelauter have to say. Best to return to drinking water. Don’t you have to adult tomorrow???

That is not what is happening here.

Local 3 time Board of Education candidate (and 2 on her way to 3 time loser) Cindy Rose has made a declaration about our blog.

20180420_211249
Who would like this?

Let’s look at the definition of hate group.

Screenshot_20180420-212004_Chrome.jpg

We are continually amazed at the lack of comprehension exhibited by Cindy Rose. The bar just keeps getting lower.

he-is-clueless_fb_2432401
Pointing out logical fallacies does not a hate group make.

Just because we would HATE to see you on the school board does not make us a hate group. How about turning the hyperbole down a notch or two or a million?

Lookey, lookey. Someone still hasn’t gotten the message.

Seriously?
It’s okay Snowball.  We will tell everyone all they need to know about this.

 

Cindy, I will PIA you to the death, Rose is preparing to throw her hat back in the Board of Education ring. Again. We are counting. She has lost twice so far. We are happy for her to go ahead and lose a third time.

Her assertion that she espouses conservative common sense values unlike those touchy feely progressives is ridiculous. Common sense is not subjective.

Your yokels are on the case and prepared to remind you of all her past and planned nonsense. First you must read this diatribe.

Wow
All the cofevee in one place!

 

We have our own opinions on who is irrational around here. You can make up your own mind.

Or here,

Or here,

Or even here.

That is enough links for today.

Pulling back the curtain, is the witch the hunted or the hunter?

You probably read this article in the FNP previously, but a recent comment caught our notice. It is a link to several email enquiries made by Cindy Rose, candidate for the Board of Education and self proclaimed education watch dog. Even after reading the article that alluded to many of the topics included in the link, it is still surprising and shocking to read these requests.

mccarthy
Seriously, is this her hero?

 

Ms. Rose wants to have her hand in every single aspect of FCPS. Every one! How does she keep track of all the witch hunts? Does she use excel? Does she have a ledger board? A notebook? Scrapbook? Spell book? A detective’s investigation board?

investigation
She must have a really big board.

She has bristled at being labeled a book burner, but these emails show she has questions on several books as well as videos that FCPS uses. What seems nervy is that the books she is concerned about, she admits she has not actually read, just read the reviews. How can you complain about something for which you have only read a review? If you are going to complain, at least make sure you really, really know what you are complaining about.

She has questions specifically about Jessica Fitzwater’s employment status with FCPS.

She has lots of questions about why the school is sending out information on community events.

Why does FCPS spend money?

Read the attachments for yourself. We just keep getting angry as we read and re-read them.

What dead horse is getting throttled this week?

fclocalyokel1 Comment

Nobody told your Lady Yokels that dead horse hunting season was now open in Frederick!  Surprisingly, this week’s dead horse doesn’t symbolize Jerry and Jessica lining their pockets with all those gold doubloons. What horse’s bones are Billy and Kirby beating this time? Take a gander:

 

If being on the hook for millions, that's right millions, of more dollars is solving the problem, then I guess for once he's right!
If being on the hook for millions, that’s right millions, of more dollars is solving the problem, then I guess for once he’s right!

What does Kirby have to say? Let’s summon him and find out:

14222290_955499551261963_4538079056215677595_n

If he put this much time and energy into his council man job we would all be better off.

Now we are forced to summon the ghost of Mark Twain:

745124551-mark-twain-quotes-facts

We covered Kirby’s school construction workshop and Jan’s presentation concerning the acquisition of the nursing homes from Aurora. Why weren’t Kirby and Billy concerned about building schools when it was a developer free for all during the last BOCC? For, in a logical world, that would have been the perfect time to make sure our infrastructure and schools were up to snuff.  Why, also, did they vote against funding schools above MOE? It clearly could not have been a secret that the people who were going to occupy these adobes would have offspring that they would like to be properly educated. Or was it? But of course this is all Jan’s fault! Every last bit of it!

You broke our poll record!! Now it’s time for a new one!

Well, well, well…it seems that our last poll about Blaine got a lot of people’s attention. For we had never had so many people participate before. Here’s your results:
