Tesla Assets ‘Appear To Have Gone Astray’. To the tune of $1.4 billion: Tesla’s (TSLA) accounting practices are raising red flags as a new report from the Financial Times shows that $1.4 billion is missing. Many Tesla shorts and detractors have questioned Tesla’s accounting for years, but they have never gained much traction – until […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, March 19, 2025
So much to unpack from yesterday’s passage of HB 140 (Morrison), the ‘end of life options’ bill. I had predicted somewhere around 25 votes for passage yesterday. Instead, the bill passed with the bare majority of 21 votes. Why? Because the entire Wilmington delegation and Rep. Deb Heffernan, all of whom were absent for the […]

Courts To Trump: Pretty Much Everything You’re Doing Is Illegal. Transgender Troops Ban. Dismantling Of USAID. Trump Rope-A-Dope On Deportations. We’ve learned that Democrats aren’t coming to the rescue, the courts are all we have left. Trump And Putin Still Can’t Agree On What They Get To Rip Off From Ukraine: A “no” is not […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday March 18, 2025
The Big Story: House To Consider Death-With Dignity bill today. HB 140 (Morrison) is virtually the same bill that both houses passed last year, only to be vetoed by Delaware’s Worst Governor Ever, John Carney. The bill: …permits a terminally ill individual who is an adult resident of Delaware to request and self-administer medication to […]

Israel Does It Again. The Carnage Quotient had apparently fallen below acceptable genocidal standards: Israeli forces launched large aerial attacks across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday morning, in the first major strikes on the territory since Israel’s cease-fire with Hamas began roughly two months ago. Gaza’s health ministry said more than 400 people had been […]

In Amerika, You Can’t Be A Black Man And A Military Hero: The US defense department webpage celebrating an army general who served in the Vietnam war and was awarded the country’s highest military decoration has been removed and the letters “DEI” added to the site’s address. On Saturday, US army Maj Gen Charles Calvin Rogers’s […]

Does Nick Merlino Speak For Gov. Matt Meyer? I report. You decide: A Delaware lawyer and a state lawmaker have filed a federal complaint that seeks to have the state prevent transgender girls from playing on girls’ middle and high school sports teams. Yet in Delaware, where students are permitted to play on school teams […]

The Schumer Sell-Out: For those who didn’t see the list of turncoats yesterday, here ya go: “Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin (Illinois), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada), Maggie Hassan (New Hampshire), John Fetterman (Pennsylvania), Kirsten Gillibrand (New York), Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), Gary Peters (Michigan) and Brian Schatz (Hawaii) joined Schumer and (Maine Independent Angus) King in […]

We now know what Delaware and national Democratic politicians have in common: Fealty/fear to/of Elon Musk. BTW, it’s easy to predict which D’s will cave. Schumer will give dispensation to anybody running in 2026. Which demonstrates just how unpopular his selling-out of his Party is. That way, Coons can masquerade as a real D, even […]
Chuck Fucking Schumer
Doesn’t get more pathetic than this: Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer relented Thursday rather than risk a government shutdown, announcing he’s ready to start the process of considering a Republican-led government funding bill that has fiercely divided Democrats under pressure to impose limits on the Trump administration. Schumer told Democrats privately during a spirited closed-door […]
Thumping The Tub For Chumbawamba’s Boff Whalley
A fortuitous, and completely coincidental, mash-up of two events. A couple of weeks ago, Al featured Chumbawamba’s ‘The Day The Nazi Died’ as his song of the day: For reasons that neither of us can figure out, the post and song went totally viral. Perhaps it’s because people need their political viewpoint now more than […]
Delaware Liberal Needs Help!
No, not an editorial comment from Captain Obvious. LiberalGeek, who has kept this site running smoothly since its inception, is retiring. We cannot even begin to thank him for his selfless (did I mention, unpaid?) efforts. We need someone with WordPress skills who also has the tech savvy to keep the site up and running […]

The Big Story: Delaware Prepares To Legalize Prostitution. Again. No, not legalized sex work, which I support. We’re talking Delaware prostituting itself because apparently we’re desperate. There is ample precedent. The Financial Center Development Act of 1981 essentially legalized usury in the form of high credit card interest rates. In exchange for so-called ‘credit card banks’ […]
