When You’ve Lost The Cato Institute…: We’re talking yet another Koch Bros enterprise dedicated to their version of ‘libertarianism’, aka unfettered freedom for oligarchs: Up until now, I’ve been hesitant to predict how the various prosecutions of Donald Trump are likely to turn out. But no longer. I believe yesterday’s indictment in Georgia sealed Trump’s fate, […]
Corrupt Ex-State Auditor Sues Delaware AG For Defamation
Didn’t KMG do enough to defame herself all by her lonesome?: Former Delaware Auditor Kathy McGuiness is suing Attorney General Kathy Jennings and other state law enforcement officials for alleged violations of her constitutional rights as well as defamation tied to the criminal case that preceded the auditor’s election loss last year. Last year, McGuiness was […]
DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #8–RD 3
First things first. Sherry Dorsey Walker, who is running for Lt. Governor and is vacating this seat, doesn’t suck. Although she didn’t get much signed into law, she is the sponsor of HS1/HB 191, which passed the House during the Rethug boycott, and could well pass the Senate early in 2024. The bill requires landlords […]
Looks Like Trump (And Perhaps Others) Has Been Indicted RIGHT NOW.
In Georgia. Live on TV. It appears that the paperwork has been delivered to the court, and the judge will read the indictments tonight. Papers have just been handed to the judge. Sound is on. Here we go!: Grand Jury has returned 10 indictments. All proposed indictments to the Grand Jury were voted on, and […]
The Occasional Delaware Political Weekly: August 14, 2023
1. Great Challenger Files Against, Wait For It–Bill Bush! I’ve always sensed that Bush was more or less installed in that position by Delaware Way movers and shakers, led by Lonnie George. You’ll recall that Bush was the guy on the Del-Tech board who sunk the career educator the Board had nominated to succeed George. […]

Wisconsin Rethugs Threaten To Impeach Justice Who Could Overturn Blatant Gerrymandering. Election nullification MAGAt-style: But when liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz trounced her conservative opponent in the state Supreme Court election in April, it was a big win—not just for those who care about reestablishing their reproductive rights, but for anyone who genuinely cares about representative democracy. […]

The Fuck-Up That Is Hunter Biden Isn’t Going Away. Yeahyeah, I know all about false equivalency, which only matters to people who haven’t allowed their brains to rot. Still, there’s no doubt that Hunter grifted off his old man’s name, even if he was never able to deliver promised favors from the old man: They […]

Trump. Projection Much?: 1: “What Crooked Joe Biden, who can’t string two sentences together, has done to our once great Country […] OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED BY A MAN WITH THE MIND, IDEAS, AND I.Q. OF A FIRST GRADER.” 2: “I think that Crooked Joe Biden is not only dumb and incompetent, I believe […]
What/Who Is First State Educate/First State Action Fund, And Why Have They Hired A Convicted Felon As Executive Director?
Oh, and not just any convicted felon, but one who ran afoul of the law while destroying Puerto Rico’s public schools? All in due time… It looks like First State Educate and First State Action Fund were set up to grab as many COVID education $$’s as possible: Over the past two years, every district […]

Trump Fomenting Violence. Utah idiot tried to act on it–and was killed. If this TV ad isn’t a call for violence, I don’t know what is. BTW, the charge that Willis had an affair with a gang member? Completely made-up. He will not stop ignoring court orders to limit what he says publicly. Lock him […]
DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #9-RD 10
Imagine a state representative who retired, but never bothered to tell anybody. No need to imagine it when your state rep is Sean Matthews. Oh, he hasn’t technically retired. He still mostly goes to Dover, votes for Pete ‘n Val, opposes strong gun safety legislation. And, here’s the point, does virtually nothing else. Now understand […]

‘Woke’ Putting Rethug Voters To Sleep. Is it too late for DeSantis to shut down that anti-woke laboratory known as Florida?: Gov. Ron DeSantis last year used the word five times in 19 seconds, substituting “woke” for Nazis as he cribbed from Winston Churchill’s famous vow to battle a threatened German invasion in 1940. Nikki […]

Florida Hires Fake College To Teach Its Students. The ‘right’ kind of indoctrination: Last week, an organization called PragerU announced that the state of Florida had approved it as an official vendor for educational material. This was a controversial development: PragerU’s explicit mission is to combat “leftism” in education, and until now, its materials had […]
