Song of the Day 1/28: Elvis Presley, “Suspicious Minds”
Thanks to John Bolton, Republican senators are indeed caught in a trap — a perjury trap. They’ve been lying for the White House, but the White House never told them Bolton’s manuscript would reveal the truth. And they can’t walk out because they love Trump too much, baby. This video catches Elvis in August 1970, […]
Coons Office Stonewalling Press Inquiries Related to the Notorious Aflalfa Club Parties?
On Saturday, January 25th, Coons spent the afternoon listening to Trump’s lawyers defend him in the Senate. On the evening of Saturday, January 25th, Coon shifted to listening to Trump’s family and friends defend him over cocktails at Jeff Bezos’ house. It is a stone cold fact that during his time as sworn juror in the trial of President Trump Coons partied with Trump’s daughter Ivanka and others very close to the President at the notorious Alfalfa Club.
At best this is poor judgement, and at worst it reveals Coons for the bloated out of touch plutocrat that he is.
In an attempt to see if this was merely very poor judgment which Coons now regrets I called his Press Secretary Sean Coit this morning identifying myself as Jason from Delaware Liberal. Sean Coit didn’t take the call but instructed the perfectly charming telephone answering person to ask me to put my questions in an email.
Here is what I sent:
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., Jan. 28, 2020
By Thursday, we will all know what’s in the Governor’s proposed budget. One thing we do know: It will be printed on smooth paper. Or maybe smooth e-paper, to save a few shekels. But there will not be any growth to the base of the budget. Not with this Concord Coalition green-eyeshade guy in charge. […]

A Day In The Life Of An Impeachment. Yes, you need a Times subscription to read it. My favorite tidbit was this: Republicans angrily pressed the White House in private about the revelations from a manuscript by John R. Bolton, the former national security adviser, that said Mr. Trump wanted to continue freezing security aid […]
Song of the Day 1/27: Billie Eilish, “Bad Guy”
Billie Eilish, the 18-year-old pop phenomenon from Los Angeles, swept the four major categories — record of the year, album of the year, song of the year and best new artist — at the Grammy Awards last night, so after hearing about her for more than a year now I thought I’d give a listen. […]
Coons should step down after being caught with Ivanka Trump & Kelly-Ann Conway
Editors Note: Imagine you were a member of a jury in a high profile corruption case and you spent an evening break partying with the very people connected to the corruption. Do you think you’d recuse yourself from that jury, or do you think you would be thrown off?
Coons should do the right thing and resign amid the scandal following the discovery that he socializes with and allows himself to be lobbied by Republicans very close to President Trump.
The “Democratic” Senator from Delaware, long a supporter of Anti-Gay “prayer breakfast’s” has now been caught on camera engaging in “inappropriate interactions” with inner-circle members of the Trump brain trust at the notorious Alfalfa Club..
Bad enough on its own, but to allow himself, a jury member in the Senate Trial of Donald Trump, to be lobbied by members of the Trump family at at the residence of a Billionaire is beyond comprehension.
Pictures published by the UK’s Daily Mail show Coons engaging in what many are diplomatically calling “activity unbecoming of a Democratic Senator”

The Mixed Legacy Of Kobe Bryant. All of us were stunned by the news when we heard it at work yesterday. One of the most determined athletes in history. However, you just can’t whitewash this incident: He was charged with felony sexual assault in 2003 stemming from an incident at a Colorado hotel in which […]
Breaking: Coons Caught Red Handed!
While most Democrats are running away from Trump and his coterie of enablers, Coons is running to suck up to Ivaka, Jared, Kelly-Ann.
PUMA 2 – Corporate Dems in Disarray
If Bernie wins the nomination, I’ll be looking forward to hearing Coons say “Party Unity My Ass” on Morning Joe. That could end up being my favorite part.
Song of the Day 1/26: Daniel Deitrich, “Hymn for the 81%”
Most people outside the evangelical community, believers and unbelievers alike, are struck by the hypocrisy of these Bible thumpers who claim to follow the teachings of Jesus the Nazarene while failing spectacularly to follow his example in real life. Some people inside the evangelical community have noticed it, too. Daniel Deitrich, an ex-evangelical young minister […]

The Ugly Facts Of The Trump Economy. These charts spell out where we need to be going. BTW, as the father of a teacher, a great teacher, I might add, I’m astounded at how we literally continue to undervalue teachers. Even The VFW Blisters Trump Over Minimizing Troop Injuries. I wonder what political impact his […]
Song of the Day 1/25: Randy Rainbow, “That Don”
I know his fans, which is just about everyone, have seen the latest Randy Rainbow video. It’s funny and catchy, as always, but though the tune was familiar I couldn’t quite place it. But when I showed it to a thirty-something, he immediately recognized it as “Gaston,” a comic tune from Disney’s “Beauty and the […]

EPA To Permit Cities To Dump More Waste Into Rivers. While you were watching the impeachment trial: The Environmental Protection Agency has made it easier for cities to keep dumping raw sewage into rivers by letting them delay or otherwise change federally imposed fixes to their sewer systems, according to interviews with local officials, water […]
