Can’t let this LBR vote equating anti-Zionism with anti-semitism go. Yo, Lisa, 80% of Gazans have been forced from their homes by Israel. First, ordered to the south by edict of Netanyahu, now being slaughtered in refugee camps by edict of Netanyahu. I know it was a cynical vote, and an easy one. I now […]
BREAKING!!! We Now Have THE MOST IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE RACE OF 2024!!!!
If anything, seven exclamation points aren’t enough. Far be it from me to engage in hyperbole (he lied), but this immediately jumps to the top of the list. The challenger? Her name is Kamela Smith. She’s incredible. More on her in just a moment. The incumbent? Our PAL Val Longhurst. Delaware’s most corrupt legislator who, […]
Collin O’Mara Announces Exploratory Committee For Governor Run
Make no mistake–he’s running. I’m pretty sure that BHL’s fall from grace precipitated this run as some key players are moving to Collin’s camp. Here is his announcement: “Delaware needs a new generation of leadership. The serious challenges we face — from not enough well-paying jobs and underperforming schools to the existential threat of climate […]

A Trump Dictatorship Could Well Be Upon Us. Just in case you were enjoying your Sunday morning coffee. The article is long, but necessary. Please read it. Bush V. Gore: One reason to refrain from lionizing Sandra Day O’Connor: Yes, yes, yes, yes, & yes: a recusal, and a 4-4 decision, would have let the […]

Trump Pardoned Them. They’re Helping His Presidential Run. No other word but ‘transactional’ comes to mind: Never before had a president used his constitutional clemency powers to free or forgive so many people who could be useful to his future political efforts. A Washington Post review of Trump’s 238 clemency orders found that dozens of […]

Israel Knew Of Hamas’ Planned Attack–And Did Nothing. For over a year: Israeli officials obtained Hamas’s battle plan for the Oct. 7 terrorist attack more than a year before it happened, documents, emails and interviews show. But Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed the plan as aspirational, considering it too difficult for Hamas to carry […]
Delaware Political Weekly: November 24-30, 2023
1. Annnd, just like that, we have a Democratic primary for NCC Council President. Robert A. Williams, who previously served on Wilmington City Council, as filed. I spoke to him yesterday. He started as a policeman, then became an RN who, among other things, worked as a fraud investigator in the AG’s office. He said […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: November 2023
A shorter list this month. Always happens in November as some of the best tunes I heard will not be released until 2024. February, in particular, looks real promising. Shorter, though, doesn’t mean less quality. In fact, I’ll let you be the judge: This video’s amazing. All done in one take. My kind of music, […]

War Criminal Dead. Finally. I mean, who gave a shit about Cambodia and Laos anyway? As was the case with Vietnam, history has judged some of his Cold War realism in a harsher light than it was generally portrayed (weasel words for ‘the media fawned over him’) at the time. With an eye fixed on […]
Val Longhurst–Anti-Semitic Legislator AND Scofflaw Violator Of State Law
Both on behalf of Bethany Hall-Long. We’ve already established that Longhurst urged legislators to back BHL because, at least in part, Matt Meyer was part of some ‘Jewish cult’, apparently because Alan Levin is supposedly supporting him. A quick look at any of BHL’s campaign finance reports, original or ‘amended’, reveal plenty of Jewish donors. […]
RIP: Kathy MacDonough
Many of you knew her on this blog as Scarlet Woman. Without a doubt, one of my favorite commenters ever. Many of us knew her in ‘real life’. In my case, I first met her when she was a young reform-minded Democrat who was very active in ridding the party of Gene Reed, Sr. Since […]

With Delaware’s move from the FCS to the FBS, it would become the first program required to pay the $5 million application fee, per Brett McMurphy of Action Network.

Seeking DL’s MVP’s Of 2023
The floor is officially open for nominations! Who were those who were the most valuable to the progressive cause in Delaware in 2023? They can be people, they can be organizations, they can be movements, however, they can’t be AI constructs. It could be someone who in no way is progressive. Christine O’Donnell won one […]
