From The Delaware Democratic Party: Finance Reports tell a clear story: Anti-worker dark money is trying to buy a Republican State Senate Chris Kenny is single-handedly trying to buy the Delaware State Senate for Republicans, and recently filed campaign finance reports make it crystal clear. In total, Kenny has contributed nearly $500,000 to three GOP-aligned […]
Sallies Sues DIAA: ‘Save Us From Ourselves’
This is rich. Salesianum’s reputation has long started and ended with football. They have viewed Delaware football, especially public school football, with haughty disdain. Accordingly, they have larded their schedule with out-of-state private school teams, and have only played enough Delaware teams to maintain their eligibility for state tourneys. Well, now they’re in a bind. […]

Settlement Reached To Provide More Equity In Delaware School Funding. The agreement relies on legislative approval, which will be more likely with the progressive newcomers. This does not end the lawsuit for a statewide reassessment: A separate track of this lawsuit, involving property reassessment in all three counties, is ongoing. That track saw victory in […]

Trump Has Yet Another Stimulus Proposal. Inoperative in, say, 20 minutes. Of all his botches, his U-turns on a stimulus package are near the top of the list. ‘We Now Affectionately Call Her Judge Dogma’. Amy Coney Barrett sets off all the dogma whistles. Member of a bizarre cult about to be elevated to the […]
In Her Own Words: Cathy Cloutier Reveals Herself As A Liar And An NRA Shill
Because she comes across as a ‘nice lady’, Cathy Cloutier’s penchant for lying has often been overlooked. She has now hung herself with her own words. To (half-) wit: I’m not the reason the Democrats in the majority did not pass a ban on assault weapons. *I never blocked the Assault Weapons bills. *Democrats stopped […]

Here’s Why D’s Should Pack The Courts. Inspirational Quote: The Republicans have discovered that shamelessness is their superpower and they are unafraid to deploy it to force their ideology on the entire country. Democrats can no longer afford to stand by and let it happen out of an antediluvian adherence to “norms” that only they […]

Trump Begs/Threatens Barr To Indict Obama, Clinton And Biden. Appears to have been his plan all along. Some plan. Why Michigan Is Fertile Ground For Militias. It kinda is two states. Federal Judge Upholds Cali’s Ban On Private Prisons. Yes! Federal Judge Swats Down Ohio Voter Suppression. Ditto in Texas. No wonder Trump wants his […]

Inside The Bizarre Cult That Democrats Have Pledged Not To Talk About. There are only about 1650 members nationwide. One has been nominated for the Supreme Court. But the D’s have unilaterally decided it’s off limits. Barr’s Hit Job Report Won’t Be ‘Ready’ Before Election. Translation: There’s no ‘there’ there. Alaska Now A Senate Battleground. […]
Delaware’s Most (Only?) Intriguing Races Of 2020: Part One
Fewer than usual, thanks to the implosion of the Rethuglican Party in Delaware. Not even Chris Kenny’s cash infusions can save most of them, indeed, may not save any of them. Even the least effective Democratic legislative challenger has a chance to win, just by the overwhelming D turnout advantage. But that’s for later. Let’s […]

Pence Wouldn’t Shut Up. Couldn’t Acknowledge Fly: Off (the fly) flew, and on Pence droned. He never exhibited any awareness — not the subtlest glance upward, not the slightest flinch or twitch — that his head had been colonized. I first found this strange and then realized it was everything. Pence’s years of obsequiousness to […]
VP Debate Open Thread
We already got a preview from Scott Walker (the Wisconsin one), who aided in debate prep for Pence. It’s gonna be that Trump somehow prevented 2 million deaths b/c Trump stopped travel from China (which he didn’t), and that, if Biden had his way, 2 million more would be dead. Pence is no pushover–he’s a […]

Will The Last Infected Remaining WH Staffer Please Have The Doctor Turn Off The Lights? Stephen Miller, the Joint Chiefs? I’m coming around to the notion that G-d and I share the same sense of humor. Biden At His Best. That Gettysburg Address may have been the best of his career. Never mentioned Trump. What […]
