Frederick . . .

(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick,_Maryland)
". . . The earliest European settlement was slightly north of Frederick in Monocacy, Maryland. Founded before 1730, when the Indian trail became a wagon road, Monocacy was abandoned before the American Revolutionary War, perhaps due to the river's periodic flooding or hostilities predating the French and Indian War, or simply Frederick's better location with easier access to the Potomac River near its confluence with the Monocacy. . . Daniel Dulany—a land speculator—laid out "Frederick Town" by 1745. Three years earlier, All Saints Church had been founded on a hilltop near a warehouse/trading post. Sources disagree as to which Frederick the town was named for, but the likeliest candidates are Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore (one of the proprietors of Maryland, Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales, or Frederick "The Great" of Prussia. Most sources favor Calvert. . . In 1742, Maryland's General Assembly made Frederick the county seat of Frederick County, which then extended to the Appalachian mountains (areas further west being disputed between the colonies of Virginia and Pennsylvania until 1789). The current town's first house was built by a young German Reformed schoolmaster from the Rhineland Palatinate named Johann Thomas Schley (died 1790), who led a party of immigrants (including his wife, Maria Von Winz) to the Maryland colony. The Palatinate settlers bought land from Dulany on the banks of Carroll Creek, and Schley's house stood at the northwest corner of Middle Alley and East Patrick Street into the 20th century. Schley's settlers also founded a German Reformed Church (today known as Evangelical Reformed Church, and part of the UCC). Probably the oldest house still standing in Frederick today is Schifferstadt, built in 1756 by German settler Joseph Brunner and now the Schifferstadt Architectural Museum. . ."

Summed Up . . .

. . . neatly in his own words . . .

(http://freakoutnation.com/2016/05/donald-trump-to-drought-stricken-california-there-is-no-drought-video/)
". . . Trump told the crowd of thousands that he spent 30 minutes before the rally to meet with more than 50 farmers who complained to him about their struggles. . . “They don’t understand — nobody understands it,” he said, adding that, “There is no drought.”. . . "

Nobody understands!!!

Distance . . .

Do you hear that?
Hear what?
Sounds like a hammering or something . . .
. . . in the distance.
Like people working in the distance.
People working in the distance?
People don't work in the distance.
Why would you think people work in the distance.

. . . or a devil vs a silver-tounged devil. . .

(from http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/what-state-department-email-report-means-hillary-clinton-n580516)
". . . Was Security Compromised? That remains an open question. . . It's clear, however, that attempts were made to hack the server. . .Has She Told the Truth? It depends on whom you ask. . . "She's as crooked as they come," Trump said. "She had a little bad news today, as you know, from some reports that came down — weren't so good. Not so good. The inspector general's report — not good.". . ."

Definitely "not good" . . .
