Trump Cuts Back On TV Ads–Rethugs Worry. Y’know, if Trump were to throw in some of his fictitious billions, they’d have no problem. California Fires Reflect Immediate Need To Address Climate Change. BTW, has anybody seen any sign of the Federal government helping out? I haven’t. 10% of Oregon residents must evacuate. Court Blocks Trump […]
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: ‘The Toughies’
OK, first some ‘truth in advertising’. Not gonna predict ’em all for you. Not gonna pick all those Wilmington council races, not gonna pick any Kent County Levy Court or Sussex County Council races. There are already enough races where I’m pretty much throwing darts. In fact, my only guarantee this year is that I’ll […]
Realtors’ Dark Money PAC Dumps Last-Minute Shit-Tons Of $$’s Into Local Races
Beau Zebley no longer has any plausible deniability when it comes to claiming that his organization is simon-pure when it comes to tilting races at the last minute. According to the 8-day report of the ‘Strengthening Our Community Third Party Advertising Committee’, which is a realtors’ organization specifically created to circumvent the $600 maximum contribution […]
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: The ‘Sorta Competitives’
There’s at least a veneer of competitiveness to these races, but I think the outcomes are relatively clear. In other words, although unlikely in my mind, I could be wrong, but I don’t think so: US Representative (R): Lee Murphy over Matthew Morris. We know from experience that ‘Go, Murph, Go!’ is hardly a juggernaut. […]

Yep. Trump Lied About Covid. Admitted It. Knows He’s Screwed. It’s pointless to mention the inhumanity and hypocrisy of his comments. What’s important is that he can’t change the subject from his criminal mismanagement of this public health crisis. Guess who Fox News blames…Lindsey Graham, for allegedly brokering the interviews. There’s even a kernel of […]
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: The ‘Gimmes’
You know, the ones that improve my percentage w/o risk of being wrong: Governor (D): John Carney over David Williams. I will cast a protest vote for Graham. I thank him for running. Insurance Commissioner (D): Trinidad Navarro over Kayode Abegunde. I think Navarro could have been in a competitive race with a more credible […]

How A Small Coterie Of Rethug Lawyers Built The Phony ‘Voter Fraud’ Meme. What’s ‘fake’ is real, and what’s ‘real’ is fake: Lisa Graves, a former deputy assistant attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), said it’s no coincidence that toughened voting requirements and purges tend to fall heaviest on minorities and students, […]

RWNJ’s Head To Oregon To Foment Violence. The President has given them every dog whistle imaginable. He wants chaos. How The Trump Campaign Pissed Away Their Billion Dollar Advantage.

Trump’s Long History Of Disparaging Military Service. Hey, not every draft-eligible male had a coterie of ‘diagnosis-by-spec’ doctors available to conjure up imaginary bone spurs. Or someone to take the SAT’s for him so that he could get a college deferment. How Postmaster DeJoy Laundered Campaign Contributions To Trump. He had his employees make the […]

‘The Last Full Measure Of His Disgrace’. I think that this time it’s different. Pretty much everybody’s vote is locked in. But, losing support from military voters and families is a big loss for Trump. And so richly deserved. One of the most disgraceful things ever said by any President. Trump reversed himself on getting […]

Trump: Soldiers Who Died In War Are ‘Losers’ And ‘Suckers’. Totally unfit for office. Some excerpts from an important article that actually could make a difference: …In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a […]
