The Real Deal On Portland. Kristof spends a lot of time there. He spoke at my youngest daughter’s graduation. His parents are both professors at Portland State. This is accurate. Trump wants a conflagration, maybe multiple conflagrations, to scare the shit out of suburban Americans. He may be getting his wish. He will stop at […]

DeMatteis ‘Manages’ Prison COVID Outbreak Same Way Yrene Waldron ‘Manages’ Covid Outbreaks In Nursing Homes. If anything, DeMatteis comes across as the more cold-blooded of the two.

Feds Tear-Gas Portland Mayor. Of course, the Portland cops had tear-gassed the protestors for weeks before he finally deigned to show up at a protest.

Trump To Pardon Sexual Predator? Hey, they all had some good times together in Palm Beach. If it’s in his head, he’ll say it. Ghislaine Maxwell is in his head. I’ll say it: She has more than a little something on him. Remember, he’s a serial sexual predator too. It’d be like pardoning himself. Trump […]
Post-Filing Ruminations
A couple of random thoughts following last week’s madness featuring Bait-And-Switch Friday: 1. The Potter Family Is In Checkmate.

Chris Tigani, The Bidens, And The Delaware Way. Read it, critically. Tigani portrays himself as the victim. Yes, the Bidens are part of ‘The Delaware Way’. As is every Delawarean in this article, including Norman Veasey, who could have made a difference, but chose to give the casually-corrupt politicos a pass. Fascism Comes To American […]

RIP: John Lewis. Simply put, one of the greatest Americans to ever walk among us. From civil rights hero to congressional giant. Trump, DHS Taking Fascism ‘National’.

The Disastrous Response To COVID By Delaware Nursing Homes. Genesis and Manor Care (Manor Care being Yrene Waldron’s previous employer) are still among the worst offenders, some 20 years after Delaware enacted strong nursing home reforms. John, are you still satisfied with the performance of your Division Director? If so, you’re still willing to accept […]

Georgia Governor Sentences Residents To Death. Bans municipalities and counties from enforcing mask requirements. Are we back in April? Are all these Rethug governors engaged in a contest to see who can kill the most of their residents? Unconscionable behavior. If Trump Loses Ohio By One Vote, Here’s Why. He listened to Trump, not the […]
