Mike Ramone Blatantly Violates Election Law. Will Anybody Take Action?
They say a picture’s worth a thousand words. I fortunately will not be writing that many. But these pictures demonstrate blatant campaign violations by Mike Ramone. A political campaign pavilion at a public event. These pictures are (a) from a public event to demonstrate the new voting machines, and (b) are taken right outside a […]

DHS Hid Russian Attempts To Spread Misinformation On Biden’s Health. The entire government is part of a criminal conspiracy to get Trump reelected. Isn’t that a story? Trump Encourages People To Vote Twice–Once By Mail, Once In Person. This man is dangerously ill. Bake It In: Trump Will Release Vaccines Before Election. Tested Or Not. […]

Trump Denies Having Had Mini-Strokes That Nobody Accused Him Of Having. There can only be one conclusion–he’s had mini-strokes, and he knows it. Now, everybody suspects it. Probably why he took that ‘very difficult’ cognitive test. An unforced political error. Not to mention, even by his own standards, he’s been saying some weird shit lately: […]
John Viola Tries To ‘Pull A DeLuca’. Don’t Let Him Get Away With It
Kids, I want you to consider the twin fates of ‘Tiny Tony’ DeLuca and John ‘Third Chair’ Viola. Both were products of the construction trade power brokers. Both got jobs in the Department of Labor, jobs for which neither was qualified. Tony was ‘in charge’ of labor law enforcement, and Viola was his go-fer. They […]

Trump Encourages White Militias To Bring Guns To Protests. In fact, he’s the accelerant. Hey, at least he’s taken everyone’s mind off of Covid: But Cassie Miller, a senior research analyst for the Southern Poverty Law Center, sees peril: “The far right is now anointing themselves the only force standing between order and chaos, a […]

Trump’s RWNJ’s Come To Portland. Make no mistake: The white nationalists are taking their cues directly from Trump. He creates the crisis, then blames it on ‘Democrat mayors’. Will Biden be able to place the blame where it belongs? If history is a guide, I doubt it. Racism Of Marines In Clear Relief. They won’t […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes For August 2020
A great month for new music. One of the greatest months I can recall. I hardly know where to begin. Which is why I always do these lists in alphabetical order, and not that phony internet alpha order based on the first name. Real alphabetical order, the way G-d intended it: Songs as short stories […]

Michael Moore Warns: Trump Is Poised To Do It Again. He says, and I agree, don’t count on the Democratic infrastructure to drag Biden across the finish line. We’ll need to do it ourselves. BTW, I’ve lost count of all the pleas for dollars I’ve gotten from the DNC. Other than Howard Dean, has there […]

Pundits Ponder Day 4. I didn’t/couldn’t watch a single minute of it. Consensus was that Trump’s speech was boring. What’s your take? Yeah, We’re In A Civil War, All Right. Charlottesville, meet Kenosha. The cops and white militia groups are allies in this war. How Trump’s Company Charged Taxpayers $900K. Trump basically made the Secret […]

Trump Supporter Shot Kenosha Protestors. Oh, and you’ve got armed militia wandering around. They’re always more dangerous than peaceful protestors. Major sports events canceled as athletes protest. Will protests turn suburbanites against the Democrats? Hurricane Laura. The good news is it appears that the massive storm surge didn’t happen. That, and that it hit in […]

Wilmington’s Mayoral Town Hall. Give it a listen if you’re interested in the City’s immediate future. Rethugs Throw Hatch Act Out With The Trash. The normalization of autocracy is here. Trump loves this lawlessness, and he successfully exploits it. He will use every tool. Don’t mean to scare anybody, but 538 gives Trump a 3 […]
One More Reason We Need Marie Pinkney In The Senate.
While the absentee senator cuts a deal to increase the size of the Minquadale landfill, Marie Pinkney campaigns against blatant environmental racism:
DL’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2020–Part 5: The Statewides
Insurance Commissioner (D Primary): Trinidad Navarro vs. Kayode Abegunde. There are circumstances under which I could be persuaded to consider someone other than Navarro for this office. This is not one of those circumstances. Abegunde’s campaign, such as it is, has all the earmarks of a vanity campaign. He hasn’t really engaged in a debate […]
