The ‘She’s Not My Type’ Defense, Deconstructed. Democratic Socialist Next Queens DA? Probably. Tiffany Caban leads by 1100 votes with 3400 absentee ballots left to count. With six candidates on the ballot, her lead will likely hold. AOC and Liz and Bernie supported her. Armed And Misogynistic: The link between toxic masculinity and mass shootings. […]

The most disgraceful of all the acts of this administration. Oh, And The Jailers Don’t Take Donations Either. ‘Concentration camps’ sounds exactly right to me. Odyssey Charter On Thin […]

“Joe Biden’s Endless Search For The Middle On Race”. Jason mentioned it, and the article is as intriguing as the headline. Another Rape Committed By Our Current President.

72, Count ‘Em, 72, Philly Cops Suspended For Racist & Anti-Muslim Facebook Posts. Here’s the research that nailed ’em. Gee, think we might find something similar here in Delaware?

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., June 20, 2019
Gotta work today. Less snark, less…everything. Minimum wage legislation was not released by the Senate Finance Committee. For all we know, the committee never met and never considered the bill.

In the video, she accuses Mountaire of giving its residential neighbors tumors and asthma, as well as causing deaths. The Sussex County […]

Sometimes it’s the little details that nag at me. Can someone explain why HB 73, which is the first leg of a constitutional amendment to legalize ‘no-excuses absentee voting’, has been bypassed on the Senate Agenda for three consecutive sessions?
