Why is Delaware So Terrible at Getting People Vaccinated?
Delaware stinks at getting people vaccinated. Only three states (Maryland, Mississippi, and Kansas) are worse.

Now that The Last Guy™ has been reduced to giving speeches to the clowns and rageaholics at CPAC (it stands for Clowns Playing At Competence), the media’s theme for the week was The $15 Minimum: Democrats Are Doing It Wrong, and they might be right. For example, Sen. Bernie Sanders criticized the WalMart-owning Walton family […]
Joe Biden’s Failed Presidency
Don’t be angry at me over that headline. Joe has written it, and is living it everyday that he doesn’t pivot to moving forward without the Republicans, (and traitor Democrats like Coons, Manchin & Sinema). The central policy argument of (Biden’s) campaign, repeated throughout the primaries and general election, was that he, alone among all […]
Song of the Day 2/27: Peter Gabriel and Playing for Change, “Biko”
Playing for Change, the music-education non-profit that records musicians around the world playing the same song and edits them into videos, released this Peter Gabriel classic a couple of weeks ago, 40 years after its original release, repurposing the anti-apartheid anthem to address police brutality. The notion has legitimate connection to the issue — after […]
Dear Fellow Liberal, They Do Want to Kill Us
They want your vote to not count. If they can’t get that, they want you in a concentration camp.
Seditionist Josh Hawley wants the people to rule, unless the people prefer liberals:
On Friday, Hawley gave a keynote speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida. And according to that speech, the senator who sought to block the will of Pennsylvania voters from being counted in the 2020 election is now a champion of restoring the voice of the people in American politics.
He began by disparaging the power of big technology companies, as he had in his Dec. 30 news release.
“We can have a republic where the people rule or we can have an oligarchy where Big Tech and the liberals rule,” Hawley said. “And that is the choice, that is the challenge that we face today. It’s a perilous moment.”
It’s worth noting the dichotomy he draws here. Either “the people” can rule or “the liberals” can — as though liberals aren’t Americans who have a voice in government. The reason “the liberals” have power in Washington at the moment is that more Americans voted for Democrats in the 2020 election.
But Hawley still insists somehow that the opposite is happening.
“That’s the fight of our time: to make the rule of the people an actual thing again, to restore the sovereignty of the American people,” he said a bit later.
The rule of the people is “an actual thing,” since the efforts of Hawley and his allies to block the people’s voice fell short. The American people have sovereignty, because Hawley’s cynical decision to pander to Trump supporters failed. – VIA LGM
Only a little of the murderous, hate-filled rhetoric is getting reported out of CPAC. That will change when the Last guy get up to rich the mic.

House Passes Stimulus Bill. All Rethugs voted against it. So did two ‘moderate’ D’s–Jared Golden of Maine and Kurt Schrader of Oregon. The D’s don’t have the votes, even if we overturn the filibuster, to pass the $15 minimum wage bill in the Senate. So can we just pass this bleeping thing and get the […]
Law Enforcement Officer Bill of Rights is some real bullshit

E116 – LEOBOR (w/Misty Seemans, Jon Offredo) Misty Seemans and Jon Offredo from the Office of Defense Services join Rob in the virtual bunker to talk about the efforts to reform the Law Enforcement Officer Bill of Rights, and what […]

Not All Suicides Are Unfortunate. Serial exploiter of female gymnasts commits suicide after being charged. I really think the entire sport of female gymnastics needs to be reconsidered. Sexual abuse, delaying of puberty, anorexia, mental manipulation. Too many horrible bi-products. Is it ultimately good for the participants? I mean, besides the parents with stars and […]
Lisa Blunt Rochesters Refusal to Support H.R.6496 is Telling.
Your Rep in Congress, Lisa Blunt Rochester, is missing in action again. Why is she in hiding? Is this the kind of cowardice that demands a primary challenge? Emergency Money for the People Act This bill directs the Department of the Treasury to make monthly payments during a specified 12-month period to certain citizens and […]
Song of the Day 2/25: Warren Zevon, “Lawyers, Guns and Money”
I don’t know how I missed it, but until this Zevon classic from 1978’s “Excitable Boy” came up on a Spotify playlist last night I never realized it fit The Last Guy™ so well. What did he spend weeks asking for? A steady supply of lawyers, Proud Boy/Oath Keeper guns, and money — lots and […]

You already know this, but the tendency of Republicans and other half-wits to hold super-spreader events appears to be the primary driver in the spread of Covid. Postmaster General Louis De Joy gave combative testimony yesterday to a House committee investigating the his destruction of the US Postal Service, telling Congress to “get used to” […]
