Delaware A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary To Developers. Great reporting by Karl Baker, who had the time to read the Bond Bill that was introduced and voted on in the Senate within a matter of minutes. Yep, everyone was in on it. It is long past time to remove the FOIA exemption for all these insider cronies. […]

Man, Wasn’t That Trump Event Really Somethin’? There’s a lot more where that came from. Like Right Here. I can’t even. The Twitter response to this was what you’d expect: Trump, clearly reading from a teleprompter, talked about how the Continental Congress in 1775 “created a unified Army out of the Revolutionary Forces encamped around […]

Trump Ruins 4th Of July. At least $30 mill for his vanity exercise. Betcha it ends up costing a lot more. Trump Ruins 4th Of July. Could be a clusterbleep. Doesn’t look like too many Rethug bigwigs are coming. Why would they? They’re all at the beach. Trump Ruins 4th Of July. WH gives 5000 […]
Legislative Leftovers: A Few Post-July 1 Crumbs

BTW, the IG who wrote this report was the same IG who wrote the report criticizing SOS Hillary Clinton for violating Public Documents Act. AOC telling […]
BREAKING: Citizenship Question Is Off The Census!
Here’s the story: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/social-issues/2020-census-will-not-include-citizenship-question-doj-confirms/2019/07/02/0067be4a-9c44-11e9-9ed4-c9089972ad5a_story.html?utm_term=.73ee68a0fa94 While this is good news, remember who we’re dealing with here.

Joe Biden Caused More Harm To Minorities Than Any Other D In Recent Memory
Busing was only a small part of it. Although that’s important. A lot of blacks didn’t like busing either, and a lot of whites hated it. Which can in no way forgive Biden’s defense of ‘state’s rights’ and ‘voluntary busing’. As if states that sent his segregationist friends to DC were going to do anything […]

Border Patrol Agents Are Racist And Sexist Assholes. Don’t take my word for it, take their word for it. They should all be fired. Right now. They won’t be. Brilliant work by Pro Publica. Trump Administration Slow-Walking Printing Of Census Forms. Because, of course they are. Will Pa. Gov. Sign Bill Banning ‘Straight Party’ Voting? […]

Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Sun., June 30, 2019
Based on what’s come before, it’s entirely fitting that this first session of the General Assembly draws to a close with the passage of two money bills with contents hidden far from the prying eyes of the public. On Thursday, the Senate passed the Bond Bill with no notice whatsoever. The bill was not made […]
