Breaking: 4.4 Million More Americans Filed Jobless Claims Last Week. To quote Springsteen, some of these ‘jobs are going, boys, and they ain’t coming back’. Trump Fires Vaccine Czar. Well, ‘relocates’. Why? Because he wouldn’t push Trump/Fox News’ miracle drug hype. Yes, the cheerleaders have gone silent on that one because the test results sucked. […]
Who Are Your Takeout Shoutouts?
I feel that supporting your fave restaurants that are now providing takeout is a mitzvah. You can enjoy great food while supporting your favorite local eateries. So, where are you getting your takeout? We live in Brandywine Hundred. We’ve had great food from both Culinaria and the Corner Bistro. Both locally-owned businesses with wonderful staff. […]

Trump Hotel Seeks Breaks From Trump Administration. You gotta love this ‘just treat us like everybody else’ bleat from Eric Trump. The only reason that hotel was ever a cash cow is b/c Trump is President and expects everybody to stay there, or he’ll screw them. This article perfectly illustrates the hazards associated with deep-sixing […]

Stoopid Rethug Governor COVID-19 Tricks. Liberty over life. Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Look for a new spike in 3-4 weeks. It’s inevitable. […]

Trump’s Plan A And Plan B: Either Way, You Lose. One great point among many others: Workers at meat processing plants are expendable since they’re not part of Trump’s America. A must-read. These Antibody Tests Are Not Operative. Well, that sucks. Stoopid Rethuglican Governor Coronavirus Tricks. Iowa Governor Won’t Even Close Infected Meatpacking Plants. Fla. […]

If An Unhinged President Gives An Unhinged Press Conference, Is It News To Show That The President Is Unhinged? I’m asking the journalists among us, and there are a few. I think the answer is yes, but it should be buttressed with analysis by mental health professionals and discussion of what it means for the […]

Trump Foments Insurrection. There’s no other way to interpret his ‘Liberate’ tweets. He is both utterly irresponsible and demonstrably mentally-ill. The fact that his MAGATs take whatever he says as Gospel is dangerous. With his encouragement of protests and the prevalence of arms among his supporters, we can only hope that another Charlottesville is not […]

Delaware’s Budget No Longer Operative. In fact, right now, the total impact is unknowable. I may be the only one, but I’m not upset that the Delaware General Assembly has not yet planned some sort of virtual reopening. First of all, it’s not easy. 62 legislators, staff, and a system that is not geared for […]

For Trump, Every Day Is Festivus. An utterly-unhinged President and his utterly-unhinged press conferences. Yesterday alone featured a campaign video paid for by the taxpayers, a presidential assertion of absolute power, and a two-hour monologue uninterrupted by even one mention of what his administration is actually doing to stop the pandemic. Here’s a good take. […]

The Biden Rape Allegation Surfaces. I, for one, don’t dismiss it as out-of-hand. Her allegations should be investigated. Did she file a complaint with the Senate in 1993, as alleged? So far, there is no corroboration. But people dismiss sexual assault allegations at their own risk. Better to find out now than in, say, October. […]

Let’s Just Let The Coronavirus ‘Wash Over’ The Country. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. ‘Well, you see, Mr. President, millions will die.
