Blevins Joins The Gravy Train

Sigh. Though former State Senate Pro Tempore Patricia Blevins may be somewhat qualified for the executive director of the state Office of Animal Welfare, this just stinks of the Delaware Way.
Trump “compromising information” story will amount to nothing

Trump “compromising information” story will amount to nothing

I don't know if it is pure cynicism on my part or merely realism, but this "Trump is compromised" story is going nowhere. Here's why: 1) There will be no popular uprising. All information about Trump is compromising. More information about how much more compromised he is brings nothing new to the table. Trump lovers will say it is liberal propaganda, and Trump haters can't be any more outraged than they already are. 2) There will be no political uprising. Democrats have no will to fight Trump. that is a simple fact. For this to go anywhere, it would require somebody to prosecute the case. The Dems are in their comfortable fetal positions, rocking back and forth gently hoping this all blows over (which it will). 3) There will be no Republican awaking. Even if the Dems had some willingness to fight, the Republicans are solid in their support of Trump and that is unshakeable. They control 2 branches and they will simply say, what comprising information? The press will eventually get the picture and move along.

(CROWD CHEERS) If you’re disappointed by your elected officials, grab a clip board, get some signatures, and run for office yourself. Show up, dive in, stay at it. Sometimes you’ll win, sometimes you’ll lose. Presuming a reservoir in goodness, that can be a risk. And there will be times when the process will disappoint you. But for those of us fortunate enough to have been part of this one and to see it up close, let me tell you, it can energize and inspire. And more often than not, your faith in America and in Americans will be confirmed. Mine sure has been.
I'm sad that he isn't going to be President anymore. A very decent human being. (His complete remarks are below.)
Learning the Hard Way

Learning the Hard Way

I hate to say it, but the only way the message will get across is if the ACA is repealed with no replacement and everyone on it loses their insurance. At least, it seems like the only way the message will be heard. Though, I'm partially expecting the newly insurance-less to blame Obama for their loss of coverage.

Open Thread – NJ Editorial chides lawmakers on stupid antitax stance

The Delaware Democratic Party's "all tax increases are evil" stance is stupid on its face. John Carney is an idiot to begin his term by removing a discussion of common sense tax reform from the mix of possibilities, instead focusing 100% of his energies on cutting services. We need to put something together to help push Rep. John Kowalko's common sense tax recommendations, it is nice to see the NJ waking up to that fact:
