1. Dan Cruce Wants You To Know That He Reallyreallyreally Lives In Wilmington:
He just resurfaced there after having been invisible since, well, since the Special Election. He’s trumpeting his Wilmington residency in a hastily-started door-to-door. Far be it from me to raise any questions about where he lives. I’ll leave that task to Dan himself. BTW, yes, his name is Dan. Someone thought it was Pablo because he’d ‘found his place in the sun’ in Rehoboth.
There’s a different beach for everyone and if you like all of them, you can pick your menu so to speak. And it’s the perfect way to do a little bit of everything then recharge and you’re ready to be back to your busy lives that we have.
We are kings of our bikes. So, we are again really lucky to live in Rehoboth, when we park a car, we have to get back into the car. We can hop on our bikes and our ritual is that we are always biking from our home to Lewes. We do a little bit of walking around, a little bit of margarita, a little bit of good food – there’s amazing food then bike right back. So the ritual, on our bikes, every chance we can, any place we can go, and eliminate the cars.
Uh, what’s the deal, Dan? You might be able to technically qualify as a resident of Wilmington (or not, were anybody to litigate the question, or were the Department of Elections to do their job). But, you refer to yourself as a resident of Rehoboth. An honest answer, please: Where do you live, and what percentage of the year do you spend in SD 1? Your sudden resurfacing in Wilmington was no doubt completely coincidental with Adriana Bohm filing for the Senate seat. Perhaps Cassandra Marshall, Bud Freel and their, wait for it, ilk, will bail you out again. But all the Democrats in SD 1 are entitled to vote this time, not just the most insidery of insiders. Most don’t also have homes in Rehoboth. Perhaps they’ll prefer someone they can get hold of year ’round.
2. Chris Coons Once Again Earns AIPAC’s Blood-Soaked Endorsement:
In their own words, here’s why:
In his fifteen years representing Delaware in the Senate, Senator Chris Coons has been a backer of the U.S.-Israel relationship. A member of the Appropriations and Foreign Relations Committees, Coons cosponsored and supported a resolution standing with Israel and condemning Hamas. He also said that day, “I unequivocally condemn Hamas’ unprovoked invasion and attacks against Israel. This violence against civilians is reprehensible, and I will work with the administration to ensure the people of Israel have what they need to defend themselves against these atrocities.” Coons voted for supplemental security assistance for the Jewish state, and he voted against three resolutions which would have blocked arms sales to Israel during its war against Hamas. He also signed letters urging the inclusion of Israel in the Visa Waiver Program and calling for the U.S. to pursue a comprehensive agreement with Iran addressing its nuclear weapons program as well as its terrorist activities and its ballistic missile program. Coons traveled to Israel with AIPAC’s sister foundation in 2013.
He has remained steadfastly silent on the continuing genocide that Israel is inflicting on Gazans and Palestinians. As silent as he has been about calling out the Fascists taking over the US. Won’t somebody with a conscience please primary this accidental Senator? BTW, you can see all of those who AIPAC has endorsed in the link I’ve provided. No, Sarah McBride isn’t on the list.
3. The Unlikeliest Democrat Files To Primary Alonna Berry.
As in the wife of disgraced former Mayor of Smyrna and Suxco Council member Mark Schaeffer. Who, I perhaps neglected to mention, is a lifelong Rethuglican. Her name is Ruby Keeler Schaeffer. Like her namesake, she’ll have to do quite a bit of dancing to gain more traction than she did in the Democratic selection process. OK, I’ll come out and say it–she literally has no chance to win in a Democratic primary for this seat. Nor should she. My take?: Just another realtor trying to drum up business.
4. A Semi-Interesting PAC Filing. The PAC is called ‘Justice For All’. It’s stated purpose is as follows:
Justice for All PAC is dedicated to supporting leadership that promotes public safety, upholds the rule of law, and advances fairness and equity in the administration of justice across Delaware.
That, of course, could mean anything, depending on who interprets it. What makes this PAC semi-interesting is that it has been founded by one John Cohill. Kind of a Democratic political nomad. As are, to be fair, lots of political staffers. Here’s his LinkedIn. Make of it what you will.
That’s all I’ve got. What did I miss, and whaddayathink?
