Steve Bannon and Hillary Clinton Are Right About China
As much as I hate to agree with the loathsome fucking Nazi, Steve Bannon, he has a point on China.
(CNN)Embattled White House chief strategist Steve Bannon declared in an interview published Wednesday that the US is at “economic war with China,” promised aggressive trade actions against Beijing and said he is “fighting” other top White House aides “every day.”

Trump Has Exploited Racial Issues Forever. It’s who he is and it’s what he does. He followed in the footsteps of Old Man Trump. Steve Bannon Unplugged.

“Old Man Trump”
I had no idea that Woody Guthrie had written a song about Trump’s racist father. But he did. Here are Woody’s lyrics: Old Man Trump Words by Woody Guthrie, Music by Ryan Harvey I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts When […]

Donald Trump Is An Existential Threat To The Country
In an unbelievable press conference today, Trump doubled down on his ‘both sides do it’ screed, decried the removal of Confederate statues, and engaged in rhetoric that could only be construed as inciting violence. Watch this whole thing as it and he degenerates, if you can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqGkvjHL-Ds
Carn(e)y’s New Business Council Gives Company $474 K To Create…Maybe 20 Jobs
The founder has already had one big success. Which raises this question, among other questions, why the bleep does this company need taxpayer subsidies? The company in question is Prelude Therapeutics, and the founder had previous success with Incyte. If Cerron Cade is to believed, this is extortion money to keep the company from even thinking of […]

Delaware “Economic Development” Takes a Giant Leap Backwards
Turning over tax money and decision making authority about who gets it, to the state’s “largest companies” and bunch of Chamber of Commerce cronies is a fiasco on its face. We will not need to study this failure ten years from now. We see this failure fully formed in its nascency.
…also Carney sucks at being Governor.
Delaware’s economic development efforts are about to undergo a major transformation.
Gov. John Carney signed a bill Monday that replaces the Delaware Economic Development Office with a public-private partnership partially run by some of the state’s largest companies.
“This is a starting point,” Carney said. “The hard work starts now and that’s working together in partnership … to market our state more aggressively and think out of the box about how to develop our entrepreneurial economy.”
What a load of crap. States that do “economic development” right are not trying to “race to the bottom” by “marketing (our tax breaks) more aggressively” in order to lure the worst, most mercenary companies to the state. They develop and help home town winners become regional winners and eventually national winners.

Massive Embezzlement From DHSS Sparks Changes. One little tidbit I took away from the story–the embezzlement of $1.3 mill wasnn’t revealed to the public until a year after the crime was discovered.
