    As Mayor Pugh resigns, keep in mind that MANY other individuals and corporate entities should also be resigning and formally apologizing to Baltimore for seeking to pay to play. Maryland's corporate corruption scheme involves MANY players and they ALL should be held to account.

    Anyone selling you a warm version of the city where the same old familiar names who were conveniently unaware of the amazing amount of corruption committed here but have what it takes to actually change an extremely city for good are either lying to you or dont actually care.

    Marijuana should be legal or decriminalized. And I don’t know how that athlete didn’t think they’d find the marijuana “hidden” in the large Arizona Ice Tea can.

    To everyone coming @ me and demanding a season six of The Wire about Catherine Pugh, her ridiculous kiddie-books-as-shakedown and the rank complicity of Baltimore medical systems and charities and such in this citywide grift, let's be clear: Full stop. No. I don't do half-hour.

    I’m not writing a long piece on Pugh but I do think she owes the public a apology for wasting our time and resources.. People who work in public service like politicians, cops, etc... sometimes forget that their job is to SERVE THE PUBLIC. WE PAY YALL CLOWNS !!

    I dont even know what to say about this list. Andre Davis, Keiffer, TJ Smith. How are we not past the age where name recognition and warm feelings count more than ability to lead and actually change the city. This is abysmal.

    Add Andre Davis to this list. Keiffer Mitchell, too, but apparently even Hogan can’t talk him into it.
