New Restaurant in Downtown Area

I feel the community has a right to know that this restaurant/building is owned and operated by George Tanios. The convicted, then pardoned, insurrectionist from January 6th. He brought the bear spray, that was used against an officer who died shortly after the event. He is the former owner of sandwich U in Morgantown, before his time in prison. This information can easily be googled.
I will not be eating here.

With politicians like these, who needs rights anyway?

I have many issues with WVDP and their support for genocidal apartheid states, anti-homeless rhetoric and support for HB2014 (looking at you Garcia). But this is election time and you want to tone police constituents speaking out against Tom Bloom and County Commission for them selling Mon County out to flock?

"But Hansen also pushed back on some of the rhetoric surrounding the issue in Monongalia County. Residents have repeatedly brought their concerns about the cameras to county officials during Monongalia County Commission meetings, and he said disagreement over surveillance should not become personal. “The people that are speaking to the Mon County Commission every week need to tone down the rhetoric a little bit,” Hansen said, adding that some memes and rhetoric surrounding the issue have become concerning. “It should still be possible for people to disagree about really important issues like privacy and Flock cameras and to have a policy discussion about it that’s respectful,” he said."

Let's just ignore the misogyny, slander and systemically oppressive nature of County Commission, eh, Hansen? A disgrace.

“I think people are very concerned about government surveillance for good reason, because these types of cameras are more powerful than the other types of surveillance that have been used for years,” Hansen said. He said he doesn’t expect the cameras themselves to disappear. “I think that the cameras are here to stay,” he said."

Here to stay? Day after day courts are finding these surveillance systems unconstitutional and cities are removing them. What is this ignorant take? I thought Evan was a scientist who looks at all the facts and makes intelligent decisions.

Apparently not.

Do not fall for this "Blue Wave" nonsense, it will leave you complacent. Do not ignore and accept these oppressive measures because the package has a nicer ribbon on it.

Neither party represents us. Organize your communities and push back from these oppressive systems and laws.

EDIT:

For the weird Hansen supporters who came to excuse his behavior and state, "he is just a wittle guy in the minority", what do you say about this?

To posture as a progressive and get left flanked by the right on the most bipartisan issue in decades is embarrassing.

Let's also ignore the fact that a Morgantown City Council member Jodi Hollingshead, incoming Democrat candidate Julie Knight and the third party Mountain Party candidate Paige Reiring (running against Hansen) have all came out to support and fight for their constituents while Hansen and Williams are silently complacent and have not spoken a word to their fellow Mon Dems Forbes and Bloom about Flock. They will always be powerless when silent.

OBGYN Recommendations

Newly pregnant and looking for all the WVU Medicine recommendations - good and bad.

Specifically looking for recommendations/experiences with individual physicians.

I’m also trying to decide between a Family Medicine doctor who specializes in OB vs. going with an OB/GYN physician/team, so I’d love to hear experiences with both.

Who did you love? Who would you avoid? Anything you wish you knew going in? TYIA!
